This is sad. But although these measures are not perfect, and maybe some of them can be interpreted as too lax by many or even as too strict by some, I think that they have some impact in children and teens in the sense that they help to decrease their gambling activity, to a certain degree. If that degree is 1% or 30% I can't tell, but I'm pro protecting minors, so no matter how little the impact is, I think it's good.
I agree with you, I think teenagers need to be protected from gambling, but you can't do it only with government bans. Parents also need to protect their children and take care of them. Gambling addiction has become increasingly common among teenagers in recent years, and it’s truly sad.
I think in this digital era it is very difficult to control the activities of teenagers, because just by having a smart phone and having an internet network, they can do whatever they want. Because anyway, even though the government banned gambling, the reality is that many influencers promote gambling themselves. Sure, many influencers have been arrested for promoting gambling, but the reality is that gambling itself has been publicized so underage children will still be able to access it. So yes, any rules to limit the age of gambling, I think it is never effective, because the reality is that the gambling industry itself also continues to increase.
