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?

I no longer believe in cases and laws against celebrities who promote gambling sites, it is only a silly man's date, they can easily apologize and be released, celebrity cases are caught in cases of gambling site advertisements, this is not the first, maybe this is so much.

What is clear is that the gambling site really cannot be eradicated even though they are illegal or legal, basically promoting the illegal gambling site is just the large payment, for me not the doubt, all of that is law enforcement tricks so that they get paid too, stupid.

It is not merely a matter of actors collecting checks or enforcement loopholes though. It cannot be denied that the younger and more vulnerable audience may get affected by seeing these celebrities and influencers promote gambling and might even perceive this as something trendy, cool and harmless. Afaik, in the Netherlands, there is a law that prohibits celebrities from doing these gambling ads just to protect the minors from gambling addiction. A few days back, I read an article where some Aussie kids as young as 12 stated that they saw influencers gamble and this made gambling look safe and glamorous and now they got attracted and wanted to do the same. And look, these reactions have psychological evidence and are not just related to our emotions. So yeah, IMO, celebrities should not be simply allowed to flex with these gambling promos and get away just by apologizing, but there have to be some serious regulations here.
