    If we’ve banned advertising for drugs and alcohol I don’t see why we won’t ban gambling ads. Most I’ve seen use a “First time is free” marketing strategy. They must have stolen that from drug pushers.

      You should see what YouTube is like without an ad-blocker. I swear to god, it’s either an alcohol ad or a gambling ad. Nothing else.

      I can’t possibly imagine someone with a substance abuse history being able to survive the onslaught of constant marketing to drink, and maybe even pick up a gambling addiction while they are at it. It’s truly shameful and disgusting.
