Do they advertise sports gambling on tv?

In California I don’t see this. You do get the occasional ad for an Indian casinos, or Las Vegas though.

I don't understand the reasoning of gambling being legal, but advertising it illegal. Advertising isn't the "bad" part.

Here in the USA it's how they get the poor to pay back the natives, instead of taxing the wealthy heirs of stolen land.

I mean, everything that’s better than your average real life can be addictive. Should games not be advertised because some people are addicted? Should phones not be advertised because they have negative implications for your health?

I’m not particularly in favor of gambling ads, but where exactly would you draw the line?

They legalized online gambling and ads for it a couple of years ago in the Netherlands. It's already causing problems with addiction. I personally think all ads for gambling and alcoholic beverages should be banned.

Advertising shits in your brain.

In most contexts we should simply get rid of it.

Anything can be addictive, puritan.
