I can't think of many minors who would be able to afford a game, so it'll be the parents buying it anyway.

I could see it helping.

"I have to inform you that this game is rated M for Mature, and isn't suitable for minors."

"What? It's just football, isn't it?"

"It says this game has gambling that uses real world money."

I don't know how many sales it'd stop, but at least parents would know.
