Advertising shits in your brain.
In most contexts we should simply get rid of it.
I don't understand the reasoning of gambling being legal, but advertising it illegal. Advertising isn't the "bad" part.
Because it shouldnt be popular, but making it completely illegal is quite invasive.
One step at a time.

It is illegal in some states. You should only be able to advertise things that are legal.

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?
