Advertisements for prediction market platform Underdog, on San Antonio's IKE kiosks near UTSA's downtown campus, have drawn concerns about gambling addiction, according to a MySA report.

Counselor Jennifer See is concerned about exposure among young adults. City officials said qualifying platforms comply with kiosk advertising rules and that advertisements do not represent city endorsements.

Councilwoman Sukh Kaur said she would consider reviewing the ordinance and whether clearer separation between advertising and city branding is needed.
