MrFuzzyFart♿...Jr @mrfuzzyfart.bsky.social · 07/01/2025those commercials are so pathetic. And I feel bad for the actors/actresses who sold out to make them. 000
i-teach.bsky.social @i-teach.bsky.social · 07/01/2025My thoughts, exactly, then, let's set traps for college players who make bets.. but only certain ones. 000
Darth Marshmallow @darthmarshmallow.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Gambling ads preying on already marginalized communities, the lifeless din of a slot machine, placing bets on high school football, politics, or celebrity deaths, steadily siphoning money out of communities and into the hands of business owners, while politicians grab at the tax income. 180
1seabee.bsky.social @1seabee.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Dont forget all of the drug commercials too. 010
Resistor Vic @vicmeyers.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I love this. While I'm no Puritan, I'm also not a gambler. The constant gambling commercials, stats and predictions centering on gambling, and blatant hypocrisy of the NFL has seriously weakened the fan experience for me. 0200
John Fiorello @johnfiorello.bsky.social · 07/01/2025There's money to be made in the vice industries, unfortunately. You just hope that, eventually, the culture shifts towards rejecting this vice (but it's usually in exchange for another). 000
Feral Grumpy, 🎃🦝🥔 @feralgrumpy.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Don't forget to include the helpline number, even though programs for gambling support are severely underrepresented in the world of treatment. 000
jazzrat2000 AKA Bonsai anonymous @jazzrat2000.bsky.social · 07/01/2025And how about some ads for project 2025? 000
Debbie 🇨🇦 @wegottafixthis.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Who else is extremely alarmed about betting ads popping up everywhere Even kara swisher let it on her and galloways site How much money is enough for you two that you would accept their money? Will you be flogging crypto next? 070
The Ice Cream Man @commiebasterd.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Someone doesn’t know how many people have died from cigarettes. 000
Terri @meangreenmom.bsky.social · 07/01/2025All while running gambling addiction hotline numbers on the scrolling banner. 🤦♀️ 040
one4thebookss.bsky.social @one4thebookss.bsky.social · 07/01/2025The betting sites are absolutely everywhere. It's staggering and so predatory. 040
FalconWarthog @a10falconwarthog.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Not just cigarettes.... chewing tobacco. It's huge in high school sports, especially among young men. They can hide it better from parents, coaches, etc..... 000
Racoon in a yellow hoodie @mophead909.bsky.social · 07/01/2025and alcohol, don't ever forget how much alcohol is shoved in our faces from childhood. 000
Leonardo Ganni Luciano-Pena @leo-atreides.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Welp if you don't know the house always wins... "Tacere Leo" ... Some Casinos help Indigenous people and are fun endeavors to do with adults. At 41 I know Gambling is not for me, but you might get lucky, its all just random right? and we can't all be Monks/Priests and abstain from living. 000
📚 Dread 📚 @dreadflintstone.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I hate seeing celebrities with money, earning even more money by coercing people with less money to gamble. It’s something I find abhorrent. They are just abusing their fanbase and using their fame to hurt others. Do I honestly believe Keith Lemon plays online slots. No. He should be ashamed. 150
Tsunami of Karma @mango-flava.bsky.social · 07/01/2025It is funny that all the ads for sports betting have a warning about gambling addiction now. 'I didn't have a gambling problem until you pushed this shit on me.' 100
Keith Williams @britinbelgium.bsky.social · 07/01/2025So true, adverts on tv for tobacco, alcohol and anything containing sugar have disappeared, replaced by a torrent of adverts for betting, mainly bingo. 020
Lia Ann Kovach @liakovach.com · 07/01/2025Just as smoking ruins the lives of smokers, betting sites can destroy an entire family.😣 040
A Foster Child @msgt-usaf-ret.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Folks may lose everything they own via untreated gambling addiction, but at least . . . not known to cause cancer. Meanwhile, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. It's the American way.🤬 000
Rafa @nekonoani.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Gambling was illegal in Brazil, but because of legal loopholes overseas companies started operating betting apps here. It’s an epidemic now. Turning gambling into apps probably made the addictive effect WAY worse than any real life casino could be. 100
cookiewoo.bsky.social @cookiewoo.bsky.social · 07/01/2025It’s absolutely disgusting and speaks volumes about the “celebrities” endorsing Gambling 030
Okami Jubei @okamijubei.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Better than cigarettes, since betting on sports been going on since ancient times. Please gamble responsibly and be tactical with your bets 000
windmillmedia.bsky.social @windmillmedia.bsky.social · 07/01/2025That and all the junk food they advertise at these athletic events. 000
shelleycaro.bsky.social @shelleycaro.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Yeah - the ‘let’s find another addiction for them all’ assholes 000
Bill @cws1958.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Quit smoking and gambling and drinking and pretty soon thanks to the greedy ceo, renting and eating will go 010
Dev @xdeviantonex.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I mean both do suck your life, sanity & money away quickly! 010
michelle900.bsky.social @michelle900.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Or vape companies after complaining that flavored cigarettes make kids want to smoke them, also nitrous oxide. Seriously there are two vape shops on the same fn street where i live. 020
Figplucker @birdmantt.bsky.social · 07/01/2025And give away free phone apps to addict people to gamble. 000
Cainethejust 🇨🇦 ☢ @cainethejust.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Sports is going to lose beer/alcohol sponsorship in the not too distant future 000
Dain Quentin Gore @daintist.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I remember the day sports betting was made legal in AZ because it was a day of nonstop ads. 000
Rick Haydn Horst 🏳️🌈 @rhhorst.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Privatization and casino capitalism have turned life into a game of chance. 010
Lemmy is actively posting art now @clementearmando.bsky.social · 07/01/2025There's soo many gambling ads at dinner time in Australia. They're so high budget, irreverent and campy in the most brain rotting way imaginable. Gov. knew it had to do something: a stern message at the end of each ad, saying shit like, "Chances are you're about to lose." Mixed messages. 100
Comedian Tiffany Norton ✨👄✨ @tiffanynorton.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Big Tobacco has nothing on Big Alcohol 🍺media.tenor.coma man wearing a yellow shirt with the number 38 on it stands in front of a group of iowa state football playersALT: a man wearing a yellow shirt with the number 38 on it stands in front of a group of iowa state football players 000
ewitwins @ewitwins.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Fun fact, we're seeing kids as young as 12 and 13 being checked into gambling addiction treatment facilities because age verification for online betting apps is a joke 🫠 000
jack-august615.bsky.social @jack-august615.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Vape sponsorships are still in Formula 1. I thought that all smoking wasn’t allowed? Wild 000
Bingus @calamitouscorvid.bsky.social · 07/01/2025It's about "accountability". There is no safe way to consume cigarettes but there's nothing actually physically dangerous about betting itself, it is only when done irresponsibly that it becomes an issue. So now they can argue it's about personal responsibility and they bear no blame for damages. 020
Reenie54 @reenie1985.bsky.social · 07/01/2025The betting advertisements on TV ( in US) especially during sporting events are constant and horrific. Always showing these glamorous people, when the reality is stark. 000
Dave Thomas, not from Wendy's or Great White North @sfdave49.bsky.social · 07/01/2025So true. Can't watch any sporting event without betting site ads real or virtual or on uniforms. 070
orangesoil.bsky.social @orangesoil.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Might as well just sell opioids and get it over with. 1120
M @noone66.bsky.social · 08/01/2025They did that in Australia. 🇦🇺 They banned cigarette adverts on TV and at sports stadiums. Then the betting industry started in. Betting adverts ramped up. Families worn being torn apart from financial strain. Now, betting adverts are in the process of being banned. 000
Malicious Intent @malicious-intent.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I think the first pane should be someone yelling at the flower that it can't use cigarette adverts. And the flower being, "fine, I'll use gambling instead". The flower fought hard against cigarette advertising bans. 000
Neomagi @neomagi.bsky.social · 07/01/2025American economy is based on addiction. Food drugs media gambling greed instant gratification. Unplug go outside connect with fellow humans . 010
T Zama @z4m4.bsky.social · 07/01/2025the same as elon making a fuss about pedos/rapists in Britain and giving the thumbs up to cobra tate's PM campaign 110
DrJT4Real @drjt4real.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Tobacco industry spent millions in the 60’s on onward in a misinformation campaign and suppressed evidence tying cancer to cigarettes. Merchants of Doubt. #corruption 000
Anthum @anthum.bsky.social · 07/01/2025There is something more to life. The greed in people affects everyone to some degree and is slowly smothering humanity. People are waking up but the pillow is still pressed against their face. We flail and try to fight but greed is determined to kill us, why? Because it is more profitable. 000
LaughingGaster666 @laughinggaster666.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Ads promoting shit that ruins your health: 😡 Ads promoting shit that ruins your finances: 😇 010
Antonia "Toni" Boston creme puff @aatoni.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I hate the betting adverts too... since I have a little room for hating destructive stuff... 000
Ryan Germann @ryangermann.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Even watching those unskipple ads on video sites makes me feel dirty. So gross knowing vunlerable people are lured to ruin with those ads. 050
sakucee.bsky.social @sakucee.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Don’t forget about crypto grifters in sports too. 030
Abby Koch @abbykoch.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Betting sites are arguably worse than cigarettes since you can lose your money in the blink of an eye but cancer and emphysema usually require some lag time from usage to emerge 2200
Phil is retired 🇳🇿 🇺🇦 @philosoph62.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I'm with you... Gambling addiction is responsible for too much personal destruction. Hate it. 000
Natalie, Most Definitely Disappointed @inurshuh.bsky.social · 08/01/2025What's wild is that they don't even bother putting ina disclaimer part for the ad about it being addictive. at least we made tobacco ads' do that. it's the bare minimum. 000
Killah Dragon @wdrawbridge.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Betting sites can do what they need to do. It's the major sport (non-profit) associations affiliations with the betting sites that should be banned. How many Draft Kings commercials per downs does the NFL show. 000
hazyrecollection.bsky.social @hazyrecollection.bsky.social · 07/01/2025I got a local gas station shut down because they had an illegal gambling room and that night have been the best thing I ever did in my whole life. My best friend yelled at me for it because that was the only gas station that had her favorite soda in the fountain. Stopping criminals > $1 soda 000
Lyle Neander @lyleneander.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Thank you. Nailed it in one. Cigarettes are bad but gambling destroys families. 090
Justin Case @yourownrisk.bsky.social · 07/01/2025So what would be your solution? Stop watching sports? 000
megalowdonny.bsky.social @megalowdonny.bsky.social · 07/01/2025you're right, bring back the cigarette ads damn it 😤 010
Roger @crogerii.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Imagine a commercial selling heroin or fentanyl and it's perfectly acceptable because they have a disclaimer at the bottom. Claim your free drugs now!!! (If you have a drug problem, call this number instead of getting free drugs. We know you'll make the right choice...) 020
Michael Scott 🇺🇸🏳️🌈⛷️🎾 @newenglandmike.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Awwww. and those that "bet" should be seen as the new smokers. And treated as badly. 000
habitualcreature.bsky.social @habitualcreature.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Addiction, as a disease, is not predicated by the drugs or activities one uses. Those are aspects of the disease, an identifiable symptom. 000
g0lgrim @g0lgrim.bsky.social · 08/01/2025well at least it does not physicly hurt you... if you are not chased into suicide, alcohol, crime, etc. by your gaming addiction and debts... 🤷♂️ 000
The Smartest Floridian @stryc9fuego.bsky.social · 07/01/2025ultimately they want people to spend money. if they can latch onto the part of the brain that forces people to spend money so much the better. 010
