For the same reason tobacco ads are illegal, yet you can still buy cigarettes. Prohibition doesnt work, thats why we have rules and regulations. Advertising something that is highly addictive should be highly regulated.
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?
Not sure you should even be allowed to advertise legal things except in very specific cases. It’s an incredibly toxic industry that is doing a shitload of the heavy lifting of corporations destroying the world…
