I believe that such things have restrictions, you can filter out the things you don't want to be displayed on your tv when you are with your kids. At their tender age it's good to protect them from such things, when they get older they might probably learn it from either peers or just curiosity. Even though they end up learning about gambling when they are above 18 it won't be as bad as when they start doing it from a tender age

I'm not sure if it's possible to restrict ads on TV, reason is that ads comes with TV advertisements and the only way to stop gambling ads is to completely turn off the TV station from sports related shows. There is a way you can set a parental guide on TV stations that have sports ads. You can restrict them so that they don't see the particular tvs and even if they try to, it will ask them for password to access those TV stations, that's the only way to stop them.

Parents are the only person that can control the way children get addicted to their TV and smart phones. I don't think there is any place on the internet you don't see ads. Ordinary Google personalized ads for people to see so they can make money, it's literally what is the standard of the telecommunications company, it's your own responsibility to choose to see them or not allow them to show on your screen especially the annoying casinos that don't know when to stop.

Actually based on my perspectives, you can also restrict gambling ads from your TV because parents normally set parental guidelines on TV's too, which means you can also block gambling ads from popping up on your TV's. If you are using a smart TV you can easily do it. Most people that uses decoder don't normally subscribe to channels that mostly shows adult scenes because of their children. If you live in a big house and you have kids, you don't have to subscribe to adult channels for their own TV and you can also set parental controls on their TV too.

I thought parental controls were only used to block channels or limit viewing by age, but not to skip any specific type of advertising. It's not like I've ever used parental controls (I never required them), but it would be nice if possible for those who have children at home and pay for a television service.

It's good to know; who knows, I might need them in the future, although I keep track of my bets by phone.
