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?

This is very interesting- so celebrities are under fire given that they endorse and promote certain gambling websites? Isn't it that gambling companies and the agents of such celebrities are in charge of handling any kind of potential legal issues arising from such endorsement?

In line with the prohibition against gambling, I do submit that if a gambling casino is proclaimed to be validly legal, then I see no reason on why celebrities are prohibited on endorsing such. If there is a law that prohibits such promotion and advertising, they would most definitely know what they are doing.

It depends on how they promote and where they promote it. There’s nothing wrong on promoting gambling per se if it’s done in a proper way.

This is the common problem in Philippines that’s why online gambling here is already have a lot of restrictions.

If there is a law explicitly prohibits the promotion of online gambling, then they should be accountable. But from what I have seen from reading the article, their SC has already ruled that skill-based online casinos games can be validly promoted by them.
