Is it right to use children in online gambling promotion?

The Association of Professional Casino Webmasters, or “APCW”, produces a twice-weekly promotional video which reports on news matters relevant to the online gambling industry – see their Perspectives Weekly page on You Tube.

Have a look at the July 17th video and see what you think. It lasts ten minutes.

You can see some select graphics I uploaded in my APCW uses underage children article.

It’s been suggested to me that to complain about the use of ten year olds in online gambling promotion is evidence of excessive political correctness. They do, after all, include a disclaimer at the end, where the mocked-up nature of the enterprise is revealed.

What do you think? For me it’s totally unacceptable; for our American brethren, forever complaining about their governments’ prohibitionist stance with regard to online gambling, to be squarely handing their opponents the gun to shoot them with is verging on lunacy.

Maybe I’m just out of touch.

    Betfair are all about propaganda, I’m living evidence as well as many others.
    The best thing about it, they think they can get away with it. They think we’re all stupid.

    We should make an example of them, and cut their hearts out. We have the power.

  2. It does kind of seem that depending on where you are or where you live, different types of gambling promotion via web promotion are going to be acceptable. Each state has its own separate ways of rules and regulations that they prefer over another regions morals or beliefs.
