Chances are, they will find something else to get addicted at and spend away anyway if it isn't gambling. Remember those good old hockey or whatever sport cards, wannabe-traders?

Like it or not, sports betting is not going away.
As a matter of fact, single betting is the best thing that can happen to Canada, the 3 games minimum was stupid and is actually designed to make you lose by forcing people to get greedy.

Just a few examples, Brazil to advance in the group stage was easy money, Bulls to win was easy money, OTT or SJ to lose was easy money, DET or COL to win was easy money, paid for a lot of my lunches back then. Would actually made more with SS back then if not because of the forced 3 games. Reputable sites like William(Mountain) existed for the longest time.

However, it's very very annoying indeed, being bombard by these ads literally non stop, to the point of cutting in during game feed, can't even avoid these with Mario's site anymore. And Cabbie does it so overboard with such a punchable face isn't helping either.

C'MON, gambling being an addiction isn't self righteous! It is not just annoying, most people complaining weren't because of annoyance. GAMBLING IS ADDICTIVE and can destroy lives! And that's a fact, not self righteous.
