Guy pulls into a fast food restaurant's drive-through. The employee asks him if he'd like to buy the special and he begins excitedly yelling "yes! Yes! YES!". He then explains to the burgermonger that he just won the jackpot at and describes how convenient it is to gamble on his phone.

Not content with waiting until you get home to gamble? Now it's so easy you can do it while actively driving. I hate how much this industry has blossomed over the past decade agony-deep

Is this like those mobile game ads that feel like cheesy porn scenes? There's this company running these convoluted plots about winning money playing solitaire.

They're definitely stand-out obnoxious even for Iheart.

Is online casino gambling on your phone legal now? I thought that was the industry's holiest-of-holy grails that it has been pushing for for years, and sports gambling is the foothold.

I get ads for a few of them on Iheart podcasts. This one is Nevada-based, but I've also seen tribal casinos and generic online ones advertising gambling on apps. With this one it even has the app gamification like daily sign-in rewards.

I believe some states have casino games? But there are also crypto casinos and ones that utilize the "sweepstakes" loophole like chumba

God I hate gambling and casinos with a passion. And since I live and work near casinos I have to deal with coworkers either bragging about how much they pissed away that weekend or getting invited to go piss away money at these predatory businesses.
