100%. it's insane the lack of regulation around sportsbook advertising, considering we all know gambling to be potentially habit-forming and potentially life ruining- there's a reason support groups for gamblers are widely available. It's absurd to me that University of Colorado was willing/able to sign a deal with PointsBet to advertise on campus for $1.6M plus $30 for each user signup (likely to be a student)

Money is a hell of a drug. This is why regulation is the only answer.

  But what do we do when the ones writing the regulations are on the money drug?!

    Yeah that's the tricky bit, isn't it.

20 years ago, credit card companies could setup on college campuses to offer silly "rewards" to students that applied for the credit card. Pretty sure that was banned many years ago now. But if you're asking "how does this happen???" it's because a) much money is involved and b) it's novel.
