      100% agree. I don't understand why they are still advertising when it seems that just as many friends of mine actively seek out betting sites without waiting for it to be shoved in their face. They are essentially luring back recurring / recovering addicts, I think, as anyone who knows how bad it can get will almost never get involved no matter the circumstance.

And newspapers/tv anchors wouldn't even post the spread/prediction. But now that it's different, all major sports organizations monitor their players (and families) for illegal gambling. They allow athletes to bet on other sports but not the ones that they participate in.

    18:30 I think gambling addiction is far worse than videogame addiction, they are not equivalent at all. There's really no ceiling for what you can lose with gambling. And, with videogames, at least you have something, you have your time invested in something, the experience of playing, maybe some sort of achievements or some sort of vaguely social experience. With gambling, specially online gambling, you have numbers on a screen.

    It's grim that the algorithms will find boys/men who like sports and will inundate their adverts with betting ads...my missus' free streaming account doesn't get the same adverts mine does, whereas when we log on to my account it's gambling advert after gambling advert...it's horrendous for people who are addicted to it.

    I think it goes both ways. You cannot get addicted if you do not even start. Betting Ads are all over the place but not everyone is addicted to gambling. U expose yourself to addiction when u start gambling. Same with drugs, if you don’t start taking them, u can never get addicted.

      On an individual level, yes. Everyone is responsible for their own actions.
      On a societal level it's different though. The more gambling is promoted, the more people will become addicted to gambling. These betting companies aren't paying millions to become shirt sponsors for nothing. They will make their money back and some of their new costumers will inevitably become gambling addicts.
      In other words; If you become a gambling addict, it's your fault. However, it's a societal problem if gambling addiction starts to become more and more common.

    Not sure what the big deal is if a player is gambling on matches that they are not involved in. I understand there is some degree of 'insider trading', so maybe only restrict betting on matches in their own league. Interested in knowing whether or not the rules also apply to coaches and managers? However, I do think players need to be educated in the difference between gambling addiction and having more money than sense
