The owl's take

A clear consensus emerges: 67% support the ban, with no significant gender divide, men and women voting alike.

The generational split is striking: 25-34 year-olds are evenly divided, while older age groups lean heavily toward a ban.

The most acclaimed argument highlights a contradiction: restricting betting to adults while actively promoting it seems inconsistent.

The dominant register is protection, particularly for young people exposed online, and the risk of addiction leading to debt spirals.

A minority voice, which earned the debate's only endorsement, goes further: it calls for banning all advertising, invoking degrowth and anti-manipulation principles. Another contributor argues for stricter regulation rather than an outright ban, fearing operators would find more harmful workarounds.
