Gambling advertisements should be normalized but heavily regulated in order to prevent misuse and undue influence to minors and to the youth.
Given that there is a presumption that every man of legal age is already responsible to their life-decisions, the minds of minors and the youth are critically sensitive to the point that they can get addicted easily. This is exactly the reason on why there have been multiple regulations recently controlling advertisements of gambling and its limitations to access.
Now that sports betting is growing bigger and bigger, should gambling ads be just normalized during sports matches or should it stay separate from sports? What's your stance on gambling ads during sport matches?
It should stay separate from the sport. There are a lot of people, including kids, watching sports, and kids are very impressionable, Constantly seeing gambling ads on sports matches could influence them to try it out. Also, I feel like gambling ads(if you ask me majority of ads that have nothing to do with sports) are derailing the sport if it is constantly shown.
I definitely agree with you.
There must be a balance between promoting gambling vs its exposure to the youth especially when it is showed to sports games. Given that watching sports capture every age of its audience, there should be a prohibition regarding showing its advertisements to such.
