I recently encountered an ad from youtube about a gambling platform and it featured a very popular celebrity in my country. It was short but a good amount of time was dedicated at the end warning gamblers that gambling will not be the solution to their financial problems and it will not improve their economic status. It got my nod of approval because it really is that easy. But some governments still think that this kind of warning is not enough for gamblers to stay responsible. But don’t you think that a constant reminder can wake someone up from delusion? What do you think? Is this enough or should there be more ways to promote responsible gambling?

I believe a warning at the end of the advertisement should be abnoughnfor anyone who has enough common sense to read/listen to it. It reminds me the warning signs on the cigarette boxes about illnesses pretty much every smoker is aware about the consequences of their habit, and they don't have anyone to blame about those consequences but themselves, if the decide to smoke in the long term.

In the end, it is a matter of freedom, to be able what one wishes to do, being aware of what could happen and being responsible enough to accept whatever comes in our way, if someone ignores those warnings and are not able to take losses in a good manner, then it is better to quit gambling and spend time in activities which do not involve financial risk whatsoever.

Maybe you don't see these warnings at the end of a gambling advertisement about minors staying far away from gambling. There is always a 18+ sign after the advertisement which is a sign letting anyone know that they ought to gamble wisely. Gambling is not for those that are not matured enough to understand when they have to stay away from betting and when they have to as as much as giving a try. The 81+ sign that is mostly shown at the end of an advertisement is to let every understand that gambling is not for minors.
