The proper way to legitimize a vice is with heavy regulation. Half the screen should be a scrolling red banner stating that you could ruin your life with gambling. Random chance games should show the result a split second after the decision, with zero fanfare (to avoid fake near misses).
Same goes for smoking and drinking. Provide the product in a plain container plastered with warning labels.

We've had that forever, the biggest effect it has is legitimising the gambling industry, helping legitimise the idea that it's gamblers fault if they get addicted, and thus expanding gambling and thus making people poorer. >Random chance games should show the result a split second after the decision, with zero fanfare (to avoid fake near misses). This is a more interesting idea, and I don't think it's totally unviable to enforce it considering most gambling happens through fairly centralised avenues (major companies, app store, play store). I think it could be effective and is certainly one of the better pro-regulation ideas I've heard.
