    It’s easy to blame players, but gambling compulsion is a known psychological phenomenon that can bypass the reasoning of some particularly susceptible people. The law quite often leans towards it not being players’ fault they’re so addicted, hence no ads for casinos.

    Honestly, we kind of need the law to catch up - on sports betting too.

      The law was there, for a long time. Then a couple years ago it just… disappeared? It baffles me that every sports event now is nonstop ads for gambling. I guess when you have a casino bankruptor running the country, this is the idiocracy you get.
