That's right, in fact in my country it is prohibited to advertise gambling on public television, there are no billboards or large neon signs like in Las Vegas, but people still continue to gamble anyway, and I see parents who take their children to these gambling sites so I think that getting involved in gambling from an early age is more cultural than an external influence, since it comes from a social environment, although minors are prohibited from entering these sites, if they go with their representative, it is assumed that they approve of this, and the responsibility for the child falls on the parents.

Children, especially teenagers, are usually more technically advanced than some parents and often find ways to bypass various restrictions. In fact, the restrictions placed on websites are mostly just a formality. For children, this often looks more like a computer game, and unfortunately, they still lack the critical thinking needed to fully understand the consequences.
It is true, the restrictions imposed by gambling platforms do seem to be just a formality, that's why I think the government should be more assertive in enforcing its regulations regarding gambling. The government has the full authority to compel casinos to update their systems, making it difficult for underage children to make deposits. The government can also deploy financial institutions to monitor every transaction. I think all of this is easy to do because the government has the authority. Furthermore, parents are also responsible for guiding and educating their children, and should also limit their children smartphone usage.
