Gambling regulations aren't my wheelhouse, but this honestly doesn't surprise me. Gambling ads are fucking off the hook here, even in internet land. My ad blocker is pretty tight, but last time I saw someone else's browser half the freaking page was dedicated to TAB ads.

I study computer science and it’s incredible how many blank faces I get when I ask them why they don’t have an adblocker installed.
