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.
The steps taken by the government in online casinos are not sufficient and it is also questionable whether it is possible for them to monitor it completely. A cell should be created through private organizations to increase surveillance and there should be a guideline on whether there are underage there and whether the casino developer are paying taxes to the government properly. The government of a country has to increase the source of income to meet its state expenses as a result of which they have to collect large taxes from casinos or gambling platforms so if their monitoring cell is stronger the government income will increase further. Personal responsibility should be on you in gambling and the responsibility of children should be taken by their parents, especially their smartphone use should be monitored regularly so that they do not get addicted.
