As a young person, my Instagram feed is full of content sponsored by sketchy offshore online gambling companies. Usually the videos don't announce that they're sponsored and only include the gambling as a small part.
You're gonna have to see for yourself but we got content such as "wagering on rubber ducks floating down a river", "betting on whether a coin flip will resurrect George Floyd or Charlie Kirk", and "handing out machetes to the homeless" among other "content".
Warning: This might vaporize your brain if you're above the age of 50.

I shared Video 1 with my son, who has always had a fascination with infrastructure. Let's see what he thinks about it!
My thought, as with many of these wagers, is can't the outcomes be manipulated or known? As we saw with a certain teleprompter operator, they can!

I think it's just that those over 50 might realize this stuff is not really new!
If you could get regulatory approval, the duckies in a water course in a casino would be a delightful and entertaining display, like the horsey machines are now. I would put a glass or clear polycarbonate half pipe through the casino, with a "pond" at each end one slightly higher than the other, and a pump pumping the water back from the low pond to the high one. The ducks are identified by number and color, spun in a basket and dropped into the high pond, with cameras along the course and especially at the finish line. This is something a casino company could integrate into their online gaming site too.
