A public discussion at Subotica’s Inspira Hub examined how online betting and gambling-related advertising can affect young people and their families. Local outlet Subotica.com reported on the event, titled “Gambling and Children in the Digital Age”, on November 11, 2026.
The discussion
Participants included Aleksandar Janić – Jana, associated with the Krokodili dolaze initiative; musician Antonije Pušić, known as Rambo Amadeus; and gambling-regulation specialist Jovana Bojanić. Petar Stakić moderated the discussion.
What was reported
Janić described the financial and emotional damage he has witnessed while working with people seeking addiction support. His observations about clients at one facility should not be mistaken for nationally representative statistics.
Online-platform concerns
Bojanić discussed how digital platforms and promotional offers can encourage extended play, and called attention to age-verification safeguards. Pušić focused on the responsibility of celebrities who endorse betting companies.
Protecting young people
Speakers argued that prevention requires candid conversations between parents and children, greater awareness of digital products and effective protection of minors. The event did not announce a new law or establish the nationwide prevalence of gambling addiction.
