Do you think seeing no gambling, hearing no gambling, and talking no gambling, not even a mention of a gambling site, will decrease addiction? Is it a good resolution?
The obvious answer is yes,, those giant billboards work just like traditional ads, except in this case, they're doing more harm than good. Passersby see them constantly, and that repetition sticks. It creates brand recall and tempts people, especially those already vulnerable, to try out gambling apps that are easily accessible via mobile and digital payment systems.
That’s one of the major reasons why gambling addiction has been rising fast in the country, it’s not just the games themselves, but how aggressively they’re marketed in public spaces.
I feel like all what people need is discipline, those billboards and gambling ads only trigger people that have self control or people who are curious to gamble for the first time. It doesn't matter how it's been promoted as long as your head is in the right place it's not something that's supposed to affect you. These adverts and billboards are things you'd always come across, so the best thing to do is to develop your mind
