Same with alcohol, I don't think it has anything to do with whether it is advertised or not, the 70000 that die every year from liver cancer will always be there
We live in a world where you can choose many things and you can get addicted to many things. It doesn't necessarily need a substance that does it, see sex, television, video games or even gambling. But I think advertising to ban brings nothing at all, I have never seen an ad for cocaine or heroin and yet thousands are addicted to it, about grass I do not even want to talk, think there are millions of stoners in Germany
So it is up to the self-responsibility what a person does and what not, and if something becomes a problem then there is a whole army of psycho uncles and thousands of affiliated clinics. Who can not be helped ---- well, everyone must know to the bitterest end.

Yes and No. A lot of studies have been done on the subject of addiction by now, and as it stands, addiction is the result of a variety of factors. In addition to a disorder of the transmitter balance (reduced dopamine release, dysregulation of the reward system), which may well be genetically determined or, for example, damage to the prefrontal cortex, however, environmental influences also play a major role. How did a person grow up, which experiences was/is he exposed to (keyword among others post-traumatic stress disorder). The socio-cultural environment makes a decisive contribution. And the experiences that an individual makes in this. In this context, advertising and how it is used naturally plays a role. Unbelievable amounts of money are spent on researching manipulative practices in order to be able to use them for profit maximizing purposes. This does not mean that personal responsibility can be left at the front left at the checkroom, but this in Permanence expressed conviction': "Every human being has the same possibilities to reach a (healthy) decision and who does not use the chance is himself to blame" or the so often used character weakness of the delinquent- reaches in my opinion too short.


P.s.: The fact that there is no advertising for cocaine etc. (which is not true, by the way, because for a while it was contained in Coca Cola, for example, and was advertised quite massively) and nevertheless there are a lot of cocaine addicts running around, is no proof that advertising has/had no (damaging) influence on the behavior of a cocaine addict.

An 18 yr old who is fully competent is not to be compared in judgement, discipline etc as a 30 yr old.

And as I said, I think that not all people know that there are online casinos.

Sure you know casinos, but they are usually far away.

The WWW is available 24/7!

And if something is illegal to advertise that, I still do not understand.

Then the addition under it must be illegal in all other countries.

Of course I know that there is money behind it and it is therefore tolerated, but in this day and age that should be legally contestable and politics should also keep an eye on it. After all, the increasing poverty is complained about, the casinos are certainly not conducive.

Take an 18 year old, with 410 euros training salary logs on again and wins 800 euros. What will he probably do? Rejoice and say, wow luck had, I take with me and since gambling is addictive, I'll never do that again?
