What are your thoughts in this? Do you think celebrities should not be allowed to promote gambling or should they just be more careful about what kind of gambling they are promoting? Is it ok as long as any gambling promoted is legal?

More than personal I believe people should obey the rules of jurisdiction they belong to. But as I read the news, it's more of a grey zone where some people get away with gambling promotions while some have trouble with the authorities. Skill based games, games or fantasy sports or gambling, its difficult to draw a line where we could call it gambling.
I have seen many popular Indian celebrities specially both South and Bollywood who come to Nepal to promote casinos here. Not only the popular ones in Kathmandu or Pokhara but also to smaller casinos in lesser know places near the border with India whose 99% gamblers come from India. And all of them get away with it without any issue.
Totally depends on the rules and regulations or simply with the law on a certain country on which neither they would be ending up on having problem into it or not. We do know that gambling promotions do talk some serious money with it specially into those who do have that huge or large network or relevance then it would be that having that premium cost on which we can definitely say that it would be that hard to resist.
Even just simply looking on the social media with those influencers who had been that including gambling ads into their vlogs in the end of their video which is already that common nowadays. Some do faced up some charges or getting banned and some still that continuing up to day on which signifies that it would be just that depending into the jurisdiction. For you as an individual who do have that certain fame and popularity then
it would be just that too impossible that you wont be putting up some little time on making up some research whether you would be pushing through or not.
