Hi i want to start this thread to see how others feel about the constant barrage of Gambling adverts
Now im not a killjoy but these adverts run throughout the day and evening when children are watching
My 8 yr old Grandson wants a Playstation 5 for xmas My Daughter and i explained we would get him one later in the year when the price comes down
He just replied do some online bingo Grandad everyone wins !
He really believes this crud (We are now controlling tv time a lot more carefully)
Why is this allowed to happen there should at least be a watershed
time of 9 or 10pm
These adverts showing people waving large amounts of cash gained seemingly without work or effort must be affecting the outlook of many Children Not to mention preying on cash strapped adults unable to afford xmas and desperately searching for a solution
To me it sends a constant barrage of content that totally undermines the values of work and stability we try to teach them That just by sending a text message (usually £2 or more) or going online to win at bingo you can win instant money and happiness
They should at least have to put a disclaimer underneath the pictures of someone waving a wadfull of money
GAMBLING HAPPINESS NOT INCLUDED
