Oh don’t worry, they put that split second “Have a gambling problem?” text in tiny font at the end, so people with gambling problems know that it’s bad.

It's more than they put after alcohol commercials 🤷

No no, people don't actually drink the alcohol in the alcohol commercials. Just holding the alcohol makes you happy. DRINK DUFF (responsibly).

Or food commercials in a continent in which obesity is running rampant and killing people.
