Because front by front, and betting is on schedule. Betting is betting on sports bets. Advertising of betting was banned and someone lost a lot of money.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> Mykyta Poturayev believes that if the media were allowed to advertise betting and alcohol, it would suddenly become easier for everyone. The media would get richer, the budget would be filled, and in general, life would sparkle with new colors. Especially for those who lost their salary in 15 minutes on their smartphone.<\/p>\n<p> Let us remind you: in 2020, we were already told a fairy tale about \u201ctens of billions\u201d from the legalization of the gambling business. It turned out, as always: expectations were in the billions, reality was at the level of statistical error. But the market grew. And not only white.<\/p>\n<p> Today we are being sold a new version of the same fairy tale: advertising will save the media. But is it any wonder that in Europe gambling advertising has long been restricted because it directly targets vulnerable groups? Have we again decided to go \u201cour own way\u201d \u2013 due to budget constraints?<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/after-the-front-in-line-the-realities-of-ukraine-s-veteran-centricity\/\">Beyond the Front Lines: The Realities of Ukraine\u2019s Veteran-Centric Society<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> And the most interesting thing is the argument \u201cthe money will go to the treasury\u201d. I really want to believe it. But for some reason, experience tells me: the money will go. The only question is \u2013 where exactly.<\/p>\n<p> Because when the government simultaneously promotes gambling and alcohol during a war, it&#8217;s no longer about economics. It&#8217;s about priorities.<\/p>\n<p> A country that is fighting for survival is suddenly actively promoting an industry that lives on human weaknesses. In search of relief from war. And all this under the guise of \u201cmedia support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Maybe instead of teaching the economy to work, we just learned to sell illusions better?<\/p>\n<p> War is war.<br \/> And lobbying is clearly on schedule.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 Materials published in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section reflect the opinion of the author of the publication, who bears full responsibility for the accuracy of the information.<\/em><\/span><br \/> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The editorial staff of prm.ua may not share the opinions expressed in the author&#8217;s material.<\/em><\/span><br \/> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The owner of the webpage in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section is the author of the publication.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Author&#8217;s Facebook page While the country is counting losses and preparing to donate to drones, real life is boiling in high offices &#8211; they are deciding how to \u201cimprove\u201d the gambling market a little more.
