Thank God people are starting to notice on stuff like this because this is a big deal, if children and/or teens are getting into gambling because they see it as normal, we'd be seeing an epidemic of future adult gamblers that are going to be addicted to gambling, I think that parents should be educated right now about this and that it's alright to be strict or heavy handed when it comes to gambling, we all know that it's going to be a bad time for them in the future so why not try to stop them now and tell them what they might end up in the future if they continue gambling, maybe having a monitor for your child's online activity might be the best option even though it violates their privacy.

If the teens are still under their parent's care, parents I think should have the right to know what their kids are doing online and on their phones. Whether privacy is an issue or not, my teenager will definitely be under martial law and I will check their apps and browsing history.

Teens are yet not fully aware of what they are doing just as Colby Cotrone said, they are fans of the sport but they are crossing the line already when they gamble. Government agencies may step in if it becomes an epidemic already. Australian government AFAIK is doing lots of things to prevent their citizen from gambling including banning ads everywhere.


We do know that each parent would really be having their own ways on how they would really be handling up their children basing up on how they would really be raising it up. Some would really be having that martial law
type and theer would really be those that too loose when it comes to raising their children and wont really be having that kind of intrusive on whatever the things that their children is doing. For me then i would really be that strict when it comes on disciplining on them specially on adolescent period on which it would really be something that very need up to have that attention because curiosity level on this age or level will really be that on peak. On the moment that they will really be that be able to experience or encounter those new things then it would be normal on having those kind of reactions.

This is why parenting into this kind of time or moment will really be that something need to spot on. If you are really just that too loose or doesnt really that care about on things then sooner you would
be able to see on what are the things that you had missed out on trying out to correct on the moment that issues is really that evident or could really be seen.
Gambling industry is really that becoming that bigger as years passing by and companies or platforms will really be that aggressive when it comes to marketing and this is why even on social
media on which these ads could really be possibly seen.
