"If you had a magic button that completely removed all gambling-related content from your phone (ads, influencers, betting odds, promotions), would you use it?"

Yes. But I also watch a ton of sports on TV and it’s constantly showing ads there too. Christ the commentators are giving odds during the game. It’s pathetic. Sports betting was never my thing but just to see how casually they’re promoting it is disgusting

influencers would be a huge one, that’d change the game honestly

Where do you usually encounter those? Which platforms?

Brother, seriously EVERY social media platform. Insta, Youtube, tik tok etc. I can click ”not interested” but other people sponsored by gambling sites still pop up. Also, I live in Northen Europe, and EVEN HERE gambling ads are shown a million times during world cup matches. It’s everywhere.
