The US Supreme Court made it illegal for states to ban gambling ads, as a first amendment issue. I think it was a bad decision.

In what respect did you work with them? What is your main complaint? As far as I know, top GiveWell charities give malaria nets and stuff and it saves lives at fairly efficient rates.

Those all pass the utilitarian calculation for me, goods greater than harm.
