Imply exaggerated chances of winning the HKStarpools Encourage gaming beyond one’s means Explicitly imply that financial rewards are a likely outcome of gaming Focus unduly on the possibility of benefits accrued to players based on their volume of gaming activity Be targeted towards minors Final Thoughts
