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.
In reality, government prohibitions with various sanctions given and parental supervision still do not have much effect in preventing underage children from gambling on their cellphones, parental supervision basically only applies at home because when children leave the house they are free to do anything without parental supervision.
All these efforts always fail, at first I thought it could also work and put pressure but most parents also have their own busy lives with various jobs that may have much less time to be able to supervise and continue to provide direction to their children, on the other hand free association involving children mingling with anyone is now also very common.
