How to report an app in app store

How do I report an app in the app store? I searched for an app but the first thing that popped up was an ad for a gambling app (gambling ads are illegal where I’m at, pretty sure that includes gambling apps) the only way I can see to report an app is if I download it, which I’m not going to download an illegally advertised app???

First: Find the URL for content to report a concern - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"To report a concern, you must provide the URL of the content. Here's how to find the URL.


Find the URL for an app in the App Store

  1. Go to www.apple.com/au.
  2. Click the magnifying glass at the top of the website. Search for the app that you want to report a concern about.
  3. In the search results, tap or click the app.
  4. To copy the URL on a Mac, click the address bar to highlight the URL and then use Command-C. To copy the URL in the App Store on an iPhone, tap the Share button, (square icon with up arrow) then tap Copy Link."

Second:

You can now paste (use Command -V) the URL link to help report a problem:

Go to https://reportaproblem.apple.com/?s=6
