@@MrScateboy i live in the netherlands so its kinda legal, im just saying. Im 20. The smoking ads of cigarettes are gone since i was what 5 or 6, im still smoking. So advertisements are infuencal but once they are gone it will find another way xD. What you say is true tho, its illegal in 90% in the world yet 100% smokes every now and then. People will be people, they overreact to everything xD
My favourite queen impression is from when he covered the housing crisis last year on the show (the same one as where he said "they voted against a house being a fucking house")

As someone who used to work in a bookies I can tell you that they don't give a toss if someone has an addiction, and despite their ads, they actively encourage it. Absolutely horrendous industry.
Gambling is an endemic that needs to be dealt with but when it comes to child gambling the issue doesn't lie in football bets but in the form of loot boxes and microtransactions (in-app purchases) in video games (mobile games and console/pc games), it targets children unaware of the value of money they are unknowingly pay US with their parents credit cards.
IIRC that charity commission report specifically cited lootboxes as exacerbating the issue. And yet EA is prepared to sue Belgium over the fact that they've made games with lootboxes illegal to sell to anyone over the age of 18 over there
In game skins also have their own external gambling sites, which attract young users as they can get skins easily and there is no way to verify their age.
@@ayhamshaheed7740 oh yeah. TMartin and ProSyndicate both uploaded videos of them gambling on CS:GO Lotto and, as it turns out, they were both proprietors of the website; not having bothered to disclose that to their audiences, of course.
how r these kids gambling. the closest i got as a kid was the 10p and 2p money push machines in the arcade at the side shows once a year during our highland games
Because many parents accounts are linked to their child’s iPad or phone. You can’t download apps without an Apple ID so many parents will sign in and then the child will receive push notifications or in games pop ups which they may press and inadvertently make a purchase.
I work in a bookies and some of the customers we have are just heartbreaking. People come up, angry and frustrated and tell us to put more money on the roulette machine from their cards. The main issue with that is that we can't say no. We can ask if they really want to, ask if they wanna take a break and calm down, offer advice, but if I wanna keep my job I can't just tell them to stop. In April, the roulette / slot machines will be set to a limit of £2 per spin, which is LONG overdue and should be a real help to these people who can't stop themselves. The real issue is online gambling, because not only are there no spending limits with online gambling, but that's also where the children bet. In the shops, we ID every single person who walks in who looks even a little bit young, but obviously that can't be done online. Online gambling should either be heavily limited, or banned full stop. In-shop betting isn't nearly as big a problem as online betting.
The sad thing is that if you have too much to drink at a pub they can refuse service and even have you removed from the building so you guys not being able to refuse service is such a contradiction
It may be you are getting routed through a foreign server Hollie and the system thinks you are outside the UK, maybe try re-logging. You should not be blocked while within the UK.
450,000 kids have gambled in the last week largely because of video games lootboxes in games like FIFA. It's ridiculous and obscene. Jim Sterling of the Jimquisition has been talking about it for a long time now if anyone's interested.
Loot boxes and microtransactions are the biggest gambling problems for minors but the biggest problem is that it isn't illegal, minors can't gamble unless it's in a video game.
And the sad part is kids still put 30-40 pound on a week because they don’t know how it damages them. I’ve not points on since Fifa 17. When it comes to big promos now I just save packs as it is safer.
I fell into one without realising it about 7 years ago. It started taking £10 out of my parents bank account without us knowing why. Turns out Ludia had placed it in small print that after the free week it will take automatic payments from the account. We realised it and it never happened again
Did this as a child, of course I couldn’t see the consequences. I’d blow all my savings on fifa points and open packs. I’d see my favourite UA-camrs (W2S, KSI, CHRISMD, JMX etc) open packs and wanted to be just like them. That’s the worst part - public figures whom kids look up gambling and promoting it. Hope this changes over the next decade. I’m 17 now and understand the consequences thoroughly as I have half a brain whereas at age 12 I did not. Sad reality. Companies like epic games have already refused to include gambling in their games, hopefully EA take notes. Fifa isn’t the only one, same story for e.g COD although it’s rated an 18 so I guess it’s different.
1:01. Both side was trained to learn the enemy's language so they can understand them when confronted. It was also arranged by Germans singing the Autrian version of silent night. Then the British started to compete with the germans but it turned into a synthesized song. After that, during the next day in broad say light, British and German troops started to come out of there trenches giving a trust to the enemy side. After that, each celebrated Christmas by trading goods each has like, cigars, chocolate and warm cloths. But it couldn't last till new years eve and the war started again. Some sectors lasted.past that but it would be the only peace agreement of WW1. Never even thought upon in the later years and in WW2. Rest in peace to the soldiers of our side, and the enemy. Because both side was neither good or evil, only fighting for their country for freedom.
Lmfao, I just searched up “who’s OJ Simpson” and when I was typing “who is..” one of the results were “who is banksy” The next thing Russel says is “I Am Banksy”
I agree with this alot as I'm an ex gambling addict it's sooo easy for me to fall back into it from all the adverts I see on my phone and on tv they need to stop, I'm only 25 and I got to bankruptcy because of it and now I'm paying for it.. something needs to be done
love you russel did comedy at school thing always loved comedy especially you your an inspiration cheers Holy crap how the hell did this get so many likes thanks guys
Goth Nerd His spouse got a divorce and since he couldn’t care for them he lost the right of having them and his former wife doesnt allow them to visit him?
CleanixX MC if he was spending all his money and was addicted to the game the mom might have felt that he would be a danger to the children. He might have tried to get them to give him money and if they said no could have gotten angry etc.
If you Are an addict and homeless, no judge will let you spend time with your kids until you prove your situation got better. The best you can hope for in this situation Are two hours a month supervised by either your kids mother or social worker...
You know what Russ. I have really bad days. And on those days when i can't seem to put a smile on my face. I put on your videos and you're jokes and your voices make me laugh more than anyone. Your my cure Russ. Carry on, you're changing lives.
I took my brother to his 1st United game at Old Trafford and it was the 1st home game of the 2011/12 season against Spurs. Won 3-0. He was only 5. He asked me if he could chant anything. I said yh. Thinking he was gonna chant already existed chants. 1st half Van Der Vaart goes to take a corner. In some footy magazines they have puns like calling Van Der Vaart, Van Der Faart. My bro is right next to VDV. He goes “yoryt Van Der Faart. Shit yourself yet”. Then he starts chanting, “he shat himself, he shat himself, Rafael Van Der Faart, he shat himself.” Shit you not, with 10 minutes left of the match, about 80% of the ground was chanting my brothers chant.😂😂😂 Unfortunately when we go to OT now, there’s not much to chant about. Jose Out.
Omg the funniest thing happened at the end of the video, I just got an ad about football bets and I was like "I hate this" and laughed my ass off 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I'm the Manager in a Betfred and I can confirm that when I bring up to the Regional Management about problem gamblers they tell me to try and increase the time and amount of money they spend in my shop. It's not just football and horse bets either. The slot machines in our shops are a tragedy. It happens every week. You get someone who comes in expecting a big pay out and they end up spending £5000 in a few hours and they leave with nothing. The government have put something in motion to try and help though. Next April you will only be able to spend a max of £2 a spin on slots and roulette. At the moment people can spend up to £50 a spin. I've seen people lose £1000 in 10 minutes. It truly is a massive problem in this country. It's like the lottery. Few people win and most people lose.
That OJ fact at 3:31 also happened with Oscar Pistorius; he was meant to play Gazelle in Kingsman but his reps thought he wouldn't be able to play a convincing killer so Sofia Boutella wound up being cast instead and they did her legs with CGI. Then, around the time filming started... well...
So glad Russell has called this problem out. The amount of betting adverts on UA-cam and TV are getting ridiculous. It's all well and good praising Paul Merson for opening up about his problems, and I'm glad he seems to have overcome them, but what's changing? These adverts are more common than ever, people still bang on about accumulators etc. Nothing is really changing.
0:40 stopped the war for a little, but then the troops were replaced and ended up fighting elsewhere. But it was still a good moment that reminds us that not all enemy soldiers are evil, or disconnected from us. What they stand for is wrong, what fight for is evil, but not all bad people think that they're bad. And both sides understood that that night.
Its sad that gaming companies had that problem this year with loot boxes and whether it should be considered gambling. Are we at that point in life seriously?
I don't think it should be banned, that won't solve much. They need to hold these companies accountable and stop letting them advertise. I used to have a really bad gambling problem, and there are many, many others out there. And unlike a drug addict etc, you'd never be able to tell. It'll ruin your life and your families lives. And you'll never win anyway
I work in the gambling industry and I hate to say this but Russell your completely right, I try and say to many people know how much you can afford to lose and stop once you hit the limit, if the where's my football and that I saw on Facebook was from your show, we definitely need that on the TV as it will help people understand what is going on
The worst story i have heard is that there was a man who was addicted to gambling for several years. Eventually he went to rehad got help and managed to stop, even got a court order so that gambling companies couldn't contact him. Then, one day when he was on holiday, he got an email from a betting company advertising a new deal. Sadly he old habits kicked in and he started again. However, he was so ashamed of himself he ended up taking his own life, whilst still on holiday with his family.
My sister's ex would take me to his team's training sessions when I was 8 and would make me collect their smelly kit off the floor, occasionally if they were assigned wonky pitch #3 I would have to stand in place of the missing goal post that someone destroyed with a Ford Escort. Fun times. Had it's upsides though, being a sort of dogsbody-cum-mascot to a dozen 15 year olds I did get to see a few pairs of tits long before I probably should have and I developed a penchant for pot from all the blow backs they liked to direct my way. Mum probably thought my big, wild pupils were from all the giddy excitement of the football. Bless her.
@@k-k-q.1009 Yeah so the kid should take some personal responsibility if he has shitty parents. Great strategy. Or you know games that have gambling elements should be restricted to adults only.

Lootboxes in games
Because many parents accounts are linked to their child’s iPad or phone. You can’t download apps without an Apple ID so many parents will sign in and then the child will receive push notifications or in games pop ups which they may press and inadvertently make a purchase.
Football also caused a war in central america though - literally called "the football war" between El Salvador and Honduras in the 60's
former chelsea footballer didier drogba and his international teammates did stop a civil war in the ivory coast though

Ryan O'Sullivan same here pal here’s my experience of gambling addiction feel free to watch ua-cam.com/video/azUDCiYxj0k/v-deo.html
This is ironic considering that every Russell Howard video I watch is preceded by an advert for online gambling.
"Oh please, gaaamble responsibly"
The advert before this video started was Jose shilling for PADDY POWER😂😂
Lmao I got a betting a betting ad on the video
😂
You do know he put that on right?
So glad Russell has called this problem out. The amount of betting adverts on UA-cam and TV are getting ridiculous. It's all well and good praising Paul Merson for opening up about his problems, and I'm glad he seems to have overcome them, but what's changing? These adverts are more common than ever, people still bang on about accumulators etc. Nothing is really changing.
😂😂😂 Actually had a bet ad come on before I watched this vid "IRONY"
I’m glad you put the word ‘irony’ in inverted commas as that’s not what irony means 😂
Not many people can make you laugh and cry Russel is among the few
You know what's disgusting about this?
When the video ended I got an ad for the most fun way to bet on sport.
I got one about betting in stockmarkets.
Forest Dump. OMG, I roared! God, I love 12-year-old humor. Thank you, Russell, I really needed that! 🤣🤣
I love u russel ur so hilarious
0:40 stopped the war for a little, but then the troops were replaced and ended up fighting elsewhere. But it was still a good moment that reminds us that not all enemy soldiers are evil, or disconnected from us. What they stand for is wrong, what fight for is evil, but not all bad people think that they're bad. And both sides understood that that night.
Its sad that gaming companies had that problem this year with loot boxes and whether it should be considered gambling. Are we at that point in life seriously?
I am from the United states and I still love to watch Russell Howard.
Love how a sports betting ad came before this :'D
I got a football gambling ad before this
Gambling should be illegal, it's crazy that it's so prevalent.
Why no one is forcing you to go gambling
Drinking should be illegal, it's crazy that it's so prevalent.
It is also sinful.
I don't think it should be banned, that won't solve much. They need to hold these companies accountable and stop letting them advertise.
I used to have a really bad gambling problem, and there are many, many others out there. And unlike a drug addict etc, you'd never be able to tell.
It'll ruin your life and your families lives. And you'll never win anyway
I work in the gambling industry and I hate to say this but Russell your completely right, I try and say to many people know how much you can afford to lose and stop once you hit the limit, if the where's my football and that I saw on Facebook was from your show, we definitely need that on the TV as it will help people understand what is going on
Hilarious as usual
The worst story i have heard is that there was a man who was addicted to gambling for several years. Eventually he went to rehad got help and managed to stop, even got a court order so that gambling companies couldn't contact him. Then, one day when he was on holiday, he got an email from a betting company advertising a new deal. Sadly he old habits kicked in and he started again. However, he was so ashamed of himself he ended up taking his own life, whilst still on holiday with his family.
The bit bout going to see the footie with ya dad upset me cuz my dads to lazy to even text me it was my sisters ex that took me to see the footie
Dubstep Stack lol
Your sisters ex is your dad now.
@Yes Man Just using the original posters own words mate.
My sister's ex would take me to his team's training sessions when I was 8 and would make me collect their smelly kit off the floor, occasionally if they were assigned wonky pitch #3 I would have to stand in place of the missing goal post that someone destroyed with a Ford Escort. Fun times.
Had it's upsides though, being a sort of dogsbody-cum-mascot to a dozen 15 year olds I did get to see a few pairs of tits long before I probably should have and I developed a penchant for pot from all the blow backs they liked to direct my way. Mum probably thought my big, wild pupils were from all the giddy excitement of the football. Bless her.
I got a betting ad on this video and almost died laughing.
6:46 I remember that and I was just screaming at nothing the whole game and our car got stolen
I just had an ad for sports betting ! Well done google ! 😂😂
They started putting bans on lootboxes in video games because it's a form of gambling, maybe there's still hope Russ
At the end of this I got an advert that was talking about how fun betting is
You wanna talk about kids gambling, talk about videogames
Cough cough fortnite vebux
Yeah but that's parents fault for putting a fucking payment method on the console so fuck off.
@@k-k-q.1009 Yeah so the kid should take some personal responsibility if he has shitty parents. Great strategy. Or you know games that have gambling elements should be restricted to adults only.
I mean... Games with gambling aspects generally do have a higher rating given by the ESRB... As it's one of their warnings but sure.
@@XFrozenAshX at the age of around 9 I got gta 5 at GAME. The guy said I was to young to get, I said I was getting it for my brother, one hour later I was putting the disc to my xbox
I clicked on this video and instantly there was a football gambling advert
'You were the chosen one, it said you would destroy them not join them'
You see see William Hills in store ads. Either robbie savage shouting or staff and customer singing black Betty at a problem gambler.
Love how the ad at the end is a gambling app😂
I’ve seen Jesus, he plays for Man City.
I’M DEAD!
Hey! I work for William Hill! We love your videos! Right on!
After watching this I got an ad for spread ex (a sports gambling website)😂
6:41 🥺 what’s a dad ?
just for the lols btw 😂😂
I'd love to see what he thinks about gambling in Video Games.
That’s what the child gambling stats were referring to.
I literally just got an ad about gambling on this video
0:41 it also started a war
Russell , so BRILLENT and funny to bring this huge issue , gambling adverts to children is dangerous.
I wish theres more of these
"When the fun stops, stop"
Is just code for
"When you realise you've lost all that money, stop."
"football stopped a war"
Football war hides in corner
OMG I started laughing my head off on the last one Russell Howard is SO FUNNY xx.
You might want to know that this vid can run gambling ads...
Watching this video put me over the fun limit.
