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?
The tobacco box has it written on it that "smokers are liable to die young", this has been for long time now and I'm not sure if there is any addicted smoker that has stop smoking because of that statement. Words and advice as a reminder doesn't stop who has addiction unless they are determined to stop the addiction own their own. You can't change someone that is addicted because you think it's bad, you will have to tell them the effects and make them understand better.
Unfortunately, most of the ads doesn't give details of the caution, things like gamble responsibly, gamble is risky and all that doest stop people from gambling, they will do what they have on their mind. As for celebrity that is influencing people and saying all sort of things as warning at the end of the day might not even be that serious gambler, as soon as they collect their marketing ads that's all with the company, into the next one that is going to find them.
