That is very alarming for our kids and their future.
I know gambling should be control and us parents to guide our kids. But seeing ads on TV and sports is not good.
Well they earn on it that is why we can't stop them. Even in NBA now yoiu can see odds on ads.
We can filter the ads that comes out in the gadgets of our kids if we want them not to see any of these. But it depends also on which content that the kids are watching nowadays. If they're the contents that are just for kids, I think they're just fine and there is also the YouTube kids that they can use so that each ad is filtered there and probably no gambling ads are going to come out from there. What we have no control is the national tv that we are sure that we've seen some ads popped during tv shows and when they're on the ads but these kids don't know what exactly these gambling ads are.
I am still of the opinion that ads that only last but for a few seconds has little to no negative effect on our kids more than what we allow them watch on their gadget, and my number one question also have always been why the hell do we parents even allow our kids gain access to gadget in the first place? And not only did we allow them access to this gadget, we also allow them access to the gadget with internet connection, why the hell are we then complaining about the effect gambling ads has on them?
In my place, there is this common saying that "it is he who the river sees that it swallows", what does this mean?, it simply means that if we don't allow our kids access to this gadgets, and also stop them from watching programs that are not meant for kids, then we will not be discussing about the effect gambling ad has on them kids.
