Advertising of gambling.

[Lena M]

How do you feel about advertising gambling, such as online casinos?
Do you consider it acceptable to broadcast such advertisements on television and radio?
Do you consider it acceptable to place such advertisements on outdoor media, billboards, banners, building facades, public transport, and in the metro?
Do you consider it normal for popular figures, citizens of your country to promote certain online projects?

In Ukraine, there are strict restrictions on gambling advertising. Advertising on television and radio is only allowed at night, and outdoor advertising is completely prohibited. The involvement of popular and well-known people in such advertising is also prohibited.
What is the situation in this regard in your country?

For me, it's normal that there's advertising for gambling. Besides, everyone chooses whether to play or not. I know that in every country there are rules and restrictions on gambling, but in reality, it depends on the person whether they play or not.

 

[Emily Trott]

I don't see a problem with it.

 

[TeUnit]

I have mixed emotions, there are a lot of people that have gambling problems.

 

[Rost]

In general, I have a neutral attitude toward gambling advertisements, just as I do toward any other advertisements. I think gambling advertisements are acceptable, provided that they are not repeated too often or too widely and are not too intrusive.

Some gambling advertising has reduced, as the targeting of young people is more efficent through socual media and influencers. Of course it's heavily regulated in the UK but probably makes little difference. People who are inclined will always find their way to risky behaviours.

I am against advertising gambling, just as I am against advertising cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs. In my opinion, advertising gambling is simply irresponsible, as these advertisements can be seen by people who are currently struggling with addiction or by teenagers.

Gambling advertising laws, particularly in the Philippines, mandate that promotions contain clear, visible warnings that participants must be at least 21 years old. Ads cannot suggest skill influences game outcomes, nor present gambling as a way to earn money. Restrictions often include bans on sponsoring sports/events and limiting ads during primetime TV.

 

[Ruslan L]

Advertising does not affect me personally. I cannot even remember when I last reacted to an advertisement in such a way that I bought a product or spent money on something else. I don't think that has ever happened in my life. For me, the best advertising is when I play and win. That is what guarantees that I will come back again and again.

I don't see a problem with it.

The problem with it is that they advertise a false reality.

Have you ever seen a gambling ad that portrays losing?

In our lives, probably more than half of everything that exists is a false reality
I don't think anyone would come up with a plot or script for an advertisement where the client lost everything, including their apartment
......... although it should be noted that this would be an unusual marketing move.

I remember the Marlboro man out riding his horse in the mountains having a great time enjoying a cigarette,

The actor who portrayed the "Malboro Man" in print and television cigarette advertisements died of lung cancer at age 51 on July 1992. Some of his last words were : "Take care of the children. Tobacco will kill you, and I am living proof of it,"

In my opinion, there are goods and services that should not be advertised. These include weapons, tobacco, alcohol, medicines, soft drugs, intimate goods and services, and, in my opinion, gambling can also be included here.
