It's illegal but there's still floods of ads for it because Google et al dont give a fuck

While that is bad, it is nothing compared to America that has gambling ads throughout our sports programming. Not just ads for the platforms, but actual odds and stuff interspersed throughout the broadcast (some channels and sports are worse than others). If I had a gambling problem, I don't see how seeing literal odds for a bet I could make then and there on my phone every single time I try to watch sports would be easy.

Of course its now in news, with CNN interspersing Kalshi odds into their broadcasts
