As long as it is just like a normal commercial.
No urging of people to gamble. Example: "Come and play now." "Put your bets fast."
I mean, those are not commercials anymore. Those are inviting people to put their money on the line, and it will not be good if the kids see it. It's a different era now. Kids are smarter, more techy, and they are really good at using their smartphones. Some of the things they do, I don't even have an idea anymore.
Hopefully, they will also be regulated and filtered by those who handle advertisements that will come out on local televisions.
i agree with what you're saying. but even the ads we call “normal” don't just inform people or promote themselves. like the gambling-promoting phrases you mentioned, a drink company could also use a phrase like “try it now!” the harm gambling can cause is on a very different level, but if the issue is protecting children from being influenced, then almost every advertisement should be filtered.
after all, a child who can manage to gamble in the technological age can also do a whole host of other things that could harm them.
