>When watching TV during a football (Aussie rules football not soccer) game I see probably 15-20 gambling ads and so would the 0-17 year olds watching.

There's a huge difference between targeting an age group and the age group being exposed by association.

If you saw ads on the Sunday morning cartoons for whiskey and gambling, you could rightly say they are targeting children.

Ads put on during a football game that targets 25-50 year olds that may happen to have younger viewers != targeting those younger viewers.

Facebook is targeting 13-17 year olds.
