It's ok to advertise gambling on TV because they have that little disclaimer at the end that gives you a phone number if you have a gambling problem.
I can't imagine how many people have become addicted to online gambling since all those Fanduel sites have popped up offering free spins if you open an account.
I can't gamble. I went to a casino twice in my life, the first time I won at slots and the second time I lost. I realized then that I could easily become a compulsive gambler and lose my entire life savings.
MultiCard Keno here. I’d like nothing better than to sit in a casino and play Multi Card Keno every day. However. my wallet won’t allow it and I know it. I still play when I can but know when to stop. And I’ve won a lot playing too!!
I never gambled partly because as a kid in junior high school I won every political and sports bet and the losers started to think I was in on something crooked so threatened me more and more. Got out of the habit and stayed out.
CBS News posted earlier this week that Australia is tightening the noose on gambling advertising in sporting events.
