what do you think of all the on line and tv adds for gambling?

I rarely gamble,maybe the odd lottery ticket, but there are thousands of people that are totally addicted, and have practically lost everything,

All we see every day is constant bribes giving you a free £10,or even higher to get you going, I get them on my phone, on line,emails, and of course on tv

I often wonder if any of these sites are regulated by the government, this is in the UK by the way, does America have the same problem?

and a lot of TV shows like Xfactor are sponsored by them, so its oblivously a big business
