With the easy accessibility of the online gambling sites and tools, the younger generation is more involved in gambling. The risk for them is not only that they will lose money but gambling at such a high rate and at the age of teenage will cause them a lot of problems like lack of physical activity or no interest in the studies as they will more inclined to get easy entertainment in the form of gambling.

The most effective way to address this issue is for the parents and teachers to play their part and convince the young generation the do and don't of gambling and how it can harm our personality and life if we are addicted to it.

Gambling risks are rising for young people (https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/gambling-risks-are-rising-for-young-people-how-to-lower-the-stakes/ar-BB1gZeaL)

The appearance of Internet has pros and cons then the existence of blockchain cryptocurrency-based online gambling has pros and cons.

I agree with you that teenagers need to be protected when they have yet matured in physical and mental aspects. But to be honest, I really can not know how to achieve it in sense of 100% success. Like proposals to KYC all cryptocurrency wallets, addresses just to control citizen money flow and tax better.

It is unrealistic and I see similar unrealistic hope to block teenagers completely from gambling.

The level at which, underage gambling is growing lately have give us alot of reasons to ve concern of what the future holds for the young generations, most times, the elderly people have tried to advise them against such early addictions to gambling and how the resultant effects can affect the future growth, but the young lads believe that its fun for them and making money is now the top of their desire which have fueled they quest and desperation in they pursuit.
In my vicinity,  kids are not only addicted to gambling alone but to other substances that fuel their desire to see after fun all the time, but you can hardly see that with the older people and for that, kids become the most affected in suce outcome and this really saddens many of us.

This is important for parents and Casinos to note. Although, the casinos already have their warning against underaged gambling but I think the bulk of the restrictions depends now on the parents because some parents pay less attention to the things that their children do at home and they would never know what they also do while they are not present. The age of smartphones and internet connection has caused more children to grow into adulthood while they are still teenagers.

Also what influence they have with the older students in school have a way of negative influence on them, causing them to be exposed above their age and involving in gambling when they are still of underaged.

sadly, with the advancement of our technology where the information is at the tip of our fingers, this is inevitable to happen. the only way to combat this is proper awareness of all the risks that gambling has, also bringing proper awareness about the risks gambling has will affect future generations on how to properly conduct themselves when it comes to gambling.

I agree with this, schools should really add this into their intervention programs.

That's a fact and it's true that ease of access is what makes many young people easily become addicted to gambling. In my country there is probably almost a high percentage of young people who are starting to get addicted to gambling, because gambling advertisements are getting easier to access on social media and it's even clear that it's not prohibited. by social media, making it easier for them to access gambling and get to know about gambling, especially with the role of influencers who promote gambling, there is a lot of easy access to gambling which the government should be able to minimize and stop.

The role of parents and teachers is also very important in directing the younger generation because it's a shame that when they are young, they don't have a bright future just because they are addicted to gambling and looking for entertainment in gambling. The younger generation should play gambling responsibly, sometimes they always play openly. careless, so they easily become addicted to gambling just because their economy is low, thus making gambling a way to make money and win big.

I am very concerned about cases of gambling addiction in my country, which are almost on average still not very mature and they are the younger generation who should be people their parents or even the country can be proud of, but instead they are addicted to gambling.

The internet itself is really a huge distraction despite how huge it could help a child's education. Even adults are not safe from gambling risks.
Protecting the kids from gambling risks is now essential they should not engage in gambling and win big in their first game because this is exactly the reason why a person will try to keep on gambling in hopes that he can win bigger than before.

I have a kid that I have to keep the conversation really alive and interesting just so he will come with me walking in the park and not just watching youtube and playing his phone.

The images that OP posted was about young adults and not underage. The only thing we can do is to advice them when they are young and also still continue to advice them when they grow ups.

The problem is not gambling itself, the problem is that they are gambling with the amount of money that they cannot afford to lose. If anyone can not control addiction, the person should stop gambling.

As for young age, government should try their best to have good regulations that will discourage underage gambling. As for parents, they have role to play too by making sure they discipline their children.

This generation of teenagers can't be controlled, as we all can see. Many of them are doing extremely well on the internet, as they are now content creators and all of that, and they are earning massively from that. So are many of them who are into gambling unknowingly to both the parent and the casino companies.
 
Even if you impose KYC on them, they will still look for a way to pass it and make sure they have access to the casino and place their bet. The best thing, which I just think is the best thing to do, is to educate the mind of this teenager on how to go about gambling and how to have self-control over themselves. At least that will help, as there is no guarantee of them abstaining from gambling until they are off age.

There is some evidence to show that the younger generation gambles more often online, especially through internet access and mobile technology which continues to develop due to ease of access and convenience in using it.
And this should be our concern and also our obligation after our children grow up, to provide guidance and education as early as possible about the dangers of online gambling.
And this is a concern I have for my children as they start to become teenagers, and I have to exercise extra supervision when they use mobile devices that I have to check periodically to make sure they are not involved with online gambling.

Teens always need surveillance from their parents. In a physical casino they can not gamble because it will require ID to present. In online gambling they can easily use someone else's ID but if the parent is well educated with technology then they can at least make it hard for their teens.

Parental control activating from the ISP provider helps a lot.

Totally depend on a certain individual even if we do speak about those younger generations. Yes, is true that they are really that prone to those risks considering that accessibility nowadays
is really just that make everything easy when it comes to those connections and possible dealings including gambling and also in other stuffs on which anyone could really be having that kind of involvement on which they would really be that kind of possibility that they would really be having those kind of engagement which might cause those kind of addiction.
Just somehow not all would really be falling into that stuff since we know that not all youngsters would really be that impulsive on which there are those ones who
do really still be able to think up well into the things that they are dealing with and act accordingly whether it would be good or bad.

This is because of gambling can be accessed anywhere and anytime because of the internet, social media ads (suggesting gambling/games), many kinds of affordable smartphone devices and online casinos. Imagine even a 11 year old kid can access internet with their device. Just click the "I'm +18" button when accessing the casino or any adult type of entertainment then it's easy, or use their parents IDs just to pretend they're adult, i knew some minors do these, unfortunately.

Discipline and guidance from parents/family is the most essential, teachers from schools are not so effective, many high school students are lazy lol. But different from me since I came from a circle of family of teachers, my aunts both from father and mother's side are teachers, my mom is teacher too so yeah we were disciplined to the thoughts of what you think. Grandpas are so strict but having a lovely grandmas, so yeah, it's balanced. So we live as good individuals, well, not so good since when we touch college everything changes since we have our own decisions and with our own.

That is normal nowadays and a big chunk of important education falls heavily in the family right now.If the parents are not careful to talk to their children since early age about risks of anything that is bad including gambling and if they have received such advice constantly then there is little to no chance for the youth to fall prey to such dangers.I blame parents and families for people falling into gambling addiction,also any other bad thing,if the family is not careful to check what the children are doing then the children risk to get to bad company and friends which can lead them to stealing,drugs,alcohol,whores or gambling and that is full responsibility of the parents,not of the young generation falling into this.

if these are just kids playing outside the house and just betting on whether they could shoot the ball inside the basket, i would just let it pass and let them be but gambling online most parents would draw the line for their kids. kids today can access digital money already and sometimes today, their allowance is already a digital money that they could use to buy in the cafeteria.

once a kid learns to gamble online and shares the experience with his classmates, it's going to spread faster. it's hard to monitor kids' phone time when they already know privacy and boundaries.

Practicing gambling and becoming easily addicted to it is one of the risks that children are exposed to on the Internet, and by the concept of “children” I mean all age groups that are under the legal minimum age, which is 18 years in most countries’ laws.

There are almost no ways to combat this scourge except by tightening parents’ control over their children’s activities on the Internet, especially considering that gambling is not easily available because children cannot authenticate their accounts at casinos, and it is most likely that they use the identities of their parents or one of their adult relatives. Of course, this is done away from parents' supervision.

There is also an equally important step, which is the responsibility of the state through educational institutions and entertainment spaces by focusing on intensifying awareness campaigns in the form of clubs, activities and educational workshops to introduce the dangers of the unmonitored Internet and introduce ways to prevent them.

Everything could really be accessed no matter how keen or careful or how strict you are on monitoring your kids on which it cant really be just that possible that you would really be able to stop on what are the things that they are really that dealing with on which it cant really be that possible that you would be able to stop them on not to see those things which arent supposed to be seen. We are now on an era
where information and things could be seen around so easily specially now with having internet then easy access is really that something that could really be happening.
On which as parents we cant really be able to check out everything or having into our own grasps because it is really that so damn hard to monitor from time to time.

This is why it would really be relevant and important that you should really be letting your kids known about the reality of gambling. Teach them about the risks
that it could give and they would be the ones who would naturally be able to avoid those things once they do able to encounter it out.

For the teens, it all starts in the house. Of course they should be monitored but parents should also have an open communication with them because if a teen wanted to do something discreetly, they will likely succeed couple of times at least.

Parents can try to introduce their kids healthy hobbies so they're less likely to succumb to gambling if they're already distracted. In my fam, we also reward our younger folks stuff they want if they do well in school or house chores. Just a few tips lol.

For the young adults, well... it all comes to discipline, gambling isn't necessarily bad but being addicted to it is, any kind of addiction isn't good. I suggest tracking expenses and setting a budget each month but at the end of the day, it all comes down to will power.

Just like there are warnings to alcoholics about its dangers and possible causes of death to human organs and humanity itself, there is also warnings about engaging in certain activities before 18 years, it is also pertinent to note that gambling is not any different.

Authorities should ensure gambling firms issue out age limits to people who indulge in gambling and ensure its enforcement

Here is where the problem starts in my own estimation. Teenagers are being exposed to video games rated teen or younger which have gambling mechanics in them. This is not quite the same as sports betting but training their brains all the same. There are sordid stories from Europe and the UK about 7 year olds blowing through their parents credit cards trying to get specific players for their teams in games like FIFA. Read the story here (https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/1944838/mum-blasts-ea-sports-after-son-blew-4-000-on-her-credit-card-playing-fifa-14/p3), here (https://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/01/17-year-old-uses-his-dads-credit-card-to-spend-7600-playing-fifa), and here (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-48925623). IIn this day and time we are seeing that teenagers are in part getting addicted to online gambling because they're minds have already been trained to gamble.

Yeah. Parents, teachers, lawmakers, casinos... all bear some responsibility here.  Parents oughta talk plain with their kids about gambling and setting some firm rules about money.  Teachers could put some of that discussion about gambling into their curriculum and provide resources about responsible gambling, telling students about smarter ways to use their cash.  The big dogs policymakers writing laws can make internet gambling off-limits for kids and give problem gamblers a hand up.  And I reckon the gambling industry can promote responsible gambling practices and offer support to problem gamblers...  Gotta be a team effort across the board.

Acceptable. Previously, the most real fear of intelligent people before we existed on the internet was that freedom and convenience were misused. Online gambling has a big effect on the future of young people.
Playing the role of all educators from within the family, teachers and other learning communities can be one way to protect the younger generation to limit the negative things about online gambling.
Not forbidding not to gamble. With the roles played by all these parties, the younger generation knows that gambling is only for fun and testing luck.

The effect of the internet is that there is a real danger in real life, especially for the younger generation that we have today. In short, it really has pros and cons. It is only at this time that gambling promotion has become rampant through social media platforms, where the Facebook and Youtube platforms are already being used in the promotion of gambling ads.

The worst part of this is that most of those who use these two platforms are younger generations whose parents cannot always monitor their children using YouTube and Facebook.

Well, with the emergence of technology obviously there will be advantages and disadvantages. But talking about the case of gambling, some governments and news channels have spoken badly about gambling but have forgotten to talk about how alcohol is destroying the lives of many young people every day. Here in my neighborhood, for example, I have seen young people drinking alcohol all day long and beer companies continue to advertise beer and no one criticizes anything. The news channels don't criticize wine factories, they don't criticize the companies that make cars. There are many people dying in car accidents. but no one blames the car companies. That's because the wine companies are not to blame, the beer factories are not to blame, the car companies are not to blame. It's the fault of people who abuse alcohol and speed in cars

In games of chance, it's the fault of people who abuse the game, there's no problem in having a large increase in people playing as long as these people are playing with greater responsibility, I myself have seen many people in my country buying tickets for years. lotteries every day, but when I talked to these people in my country who have been buying lottery tickets every day, I realized that they were not people who just focused on gambling. They were or are people who have a life in the real world in my country and many of them are doing very well in life. So that means that gambling is not harmful to those people in my country. anything people do excessively will always cause problems

This reminds me that years ago in my country, people thought that giving video games to their children could make them stay indoors all day and become addicted, so parents at that time sent their children to play outside the house until very late. later and as a result the children began to become addicted to alcohol, so many parents changed and started forcing their children to spend more time at home playing and studying. So this shows that technology, when used well, can bring many benefits.

It would make sense that gambling is more dangerous for young people. In that age, young men are risk-takers, as if they wanted to prove something or impress someone. Obviously for anyone that has a business that leverages risk for profit (aka casinos), they see that their marketing audience is obviously risk-taking young men mostly. This can have a bad physical effect on them, which lasts a lifetime. The brain is still growing in your teens, and addictive activities like gambling or addictive chemicals (drugs/alcohol) can have a very negative effect on the growth.

You are right, many who started in an early age, they usually have a lot of problems that they take with them into adulthood. And it is never not a problem later in that childs life. Sooner or later it will become one.  

Gambling has reached a point where it's impossible to be forbidden, exactly due to the accessibility factor, which makes gambling available to everyone at the reach of their fingers at a smartphone device. Naturally, younger generations are the most affected ones, because they are the individuals who make use of such devices and internet for the longest periods of time, besides the fact they are still unexperienced people, so they are prone into absorving what the world has to offer them, without much critical thinking.

Since you can't forbid gambling, the doubts arise regards how to deal with this issue then. I believe the best approach is a positive, propositional and frank conversation. Explaining how gambling works, why it's not profitable on long run, how to gamble responsively, what the correct reasons to gamble are, and so on... And if the young is too wishful, then go gambling with him, but guide the whole process. Set up a limited bankroll, have some fun and once you are over, just tell him it's time to stop. At same time, show him the consequences of not stopping on the right time.

Stay vigilant and attentive to the young's behavior right after he was introduced to gambling. Check how he is going to act from that moment on. Give him space and freedom to act, but not neglect him, as he is still learning and acquiring new experiences. We never know how these experiences are going to affect him and his future decisions, so it's a sensible moment.

If the young gets out of control, despite all the guidance and care received, the next step is to seek for professional treatment, although the chances of that happening are really low if this individual comes from a functional lair which gave him all the support mentioned above.

The accessibility of casinos online could be a huge risk for the younger said but I believe casinos and bookmakers are already aware of the negative effects of it in our society is the reason why casinos restrict players below the age of 18 and also require players to date of birth before making a single deposit.
I believe the means the younger generation escapes restriction is mostly physical/real-world gambling not online because every issue experienced by online game providers always leads to new rules and regulations to protect their reputation and also avoid getting into trouble with the authorities.

We can’t control where this teens go and where they will be at every particular moment which means their is limit to the kind of things we can stop them from doing even if you don’t give them enough money that will serve them to gamble with the little money which you allocate to them for their up keep can also be used to gamble the best thing is just parental guidance the ones that will listen will listen and the ones that will not will still follow other ways to do what’s on their mind even when you keep on punishing them until most of them learn the hard way they will never want to stop.

For children who are still below a controllable age it’s always wise for them to be place under surveillance and their gadgets under parental control at least from their one can have access to the kind of sites they visit and restrict those casino from opening from their device.

As parents our role and responsibility in giving our children the moral guide on how to go about life, teaching them about the consequences of certain things they will want to go into out of peer pressure without due diligence, things like gambling. Looking at how the gambling industry is waxing and employing all attractive strategies and outlook to lure the young to gambling in the disguise of getting entertained if we fail to caution them beforehand it will be very difficult to discourage them from continuing when they have already engaged into it and getting addicted to fun that follows. Am of the opinion that school curriculum should fix in a space for admonishing the young about the evils for gambling if they go about it the wrong way. It will really be helpful .

I think, there are so many edges,then,  where to start: e-sports are on the rise, gambling is there, online consoles require a subscription plus expenses on the platform, social networks are a way to leisure, so gambling is not 100% % of the weight as if you possibly had it before.

Hence, the possibilities of betting the addition are so varied, that it is an enormous matter, consequently  socio-cultural conditions influence a good orientation, but nothing is as decisive as moral principles that are infused at home.

The right age to gamble in most countries, if not all, is 18+ years old, and there is no way parents can still be scolding a child of 18 years who decides to make gambling his hobby. As a parent who has properly raised your child from an infant until they are now a full-grown adult, what else do you need to teach them regarding the kind of decision they must make or the kind of choice they make? Perhaps before children get to adulthood, their parents have really taught them quite a lot of things that should make them choose between what can destroy their lives and what can make them excel.

In my country, rarely will you encounter underage people who are gambling. I have not seen or even read about issues like that in the news. Although I am not 100% sure that they might not be, even if there are underage gamblers here, you will rarely hear any of them.

Gambling is not that really a big deal on young generation because they have limited source of money so the chances for them to become addicted is much lower compared to computer games, alcohol, and other recreational activities that involves socialization. The only reason why it’s a big deal for us is we are involved closely on gambling but if we think  zoom out here, life is still pretty normal even with the existence of online gambling.

Besides KCY will make this kid keep away on gambling there’s already a selfie verification that will them detected by the casino once their account was requested to KYC. I will be more on cautious for my child to get addicted on illegal drugs rather than gambling because they will never be interested on gambling if they don’t have a lot of spare money and have friends for their social life.


This is really the best way but the problem is how will you detect your child doing gambling because there’s a high chance that they will do this secretly instead of being transparent with their parents. The best way to deal with this is to limit their finances up to the point that they will have no spare money for gambling.

When we were young , Gambling is already in the places even in school meaning teenager is usually into gambling in their younger ages but what we have
now is Internet gaming and with this yeah our teens is vulnerable and can access easily without anyone knows that they are addicting , so Maybe i support that point and let people understand what they are entering and risking.


Even how good the teacher and parents but it is about the community  we cannot watch our kids 24/7 , specially when we are working so Maybe this is about how we bring them to maturity and how to be trusted to what they wanted to be in life.

Parents can control them if they want. Don’t give them money to gamble. If they won’t have any money, how can they gamble and become addict? Moreover the ad campaigns are the main culprit, for which these new generations are pulled to this gambling trap. They don’t understand the risk involved and go all in while betting. They don’t care about the money, as they don’t do the hard work to earn it. Sadly we can’t do anything other than the KYC thing imposed by the gambling sites.

I highly agree with you, the best way to keep young ones from being ruined by gambling is to have proper knowledge about gambling.  Forbidding them without telling them the reasons can only fuel their curiosity which can lead to devastation.  Giving them seminars and a deep understanding of gambling and its effects will give them a natural resistance to gambling addiction.  They should be properly guided by the older ones since I think that gambling exposure is inevitable due to technology.  With just a simple click or touch kids can enter the gambling environment so it is best to equip them with knowledge about gambling than secluding them away from gambling.

---

I do not think parents can control their kids' access to technology.  And by not giving these kids allowances, this will be make a wall between parents and child, I still think the best approach is guiding our kids on what to do with gambling.

As a parent we cannot control everything, the best we can do is to guide our children to have proper knowledge on how to carry themselves and have self control over their actions.

The role of parents and teachers clearly cannot be separated from supervising their children because it is very important in monitoring their development. Parents should approach their children more often, ask them to tell stories about their children's activities and try to find out most of them. However, many parents do not implement this method because they are busy working.

The parent handed over supervision to other people in the family environment. Parents should be the ones who need to get closer to their children. Parents need to play their role and provide an understanding of what can and cannot be done. Easy access to search for information from the internet makes teenagers feel free. Teenagers then abuse this until they end up getting into a lot of trouble.

If the internet cannot be used properly, teenagers will fall into the wrong path and vice versa. Teenagers should be able to use this easy internet access to gain a lot of useful knowledge for their future. Hopefully, after the many problems with teenagers, parents can open their eyes to improve their relationship with their children.

Instead of controlling, why don't parents guide their children, as it's their responsibility? If the parents guide and supervise their children right and always, then that child will never take an interest in gambling or what they see will be limited by the parents, and if they see things like gambling or anything that they should not see or take an interest in, then the parents should always be there to explain that it should be avoided as it can influence them badly.

Of course, if the children themselves cannot be controlled or have an attitude, then it's a different case; in short, it's a case-by-case basis, but for me, there will be no young gambling addicts if they have been supervised and disciplined correctly. It will never be hard to control the child if they have been disciplined correctly from a young age; discipline is the most effective way of parenting.

That's right, I see nowadays even many young people who know also even some of them are addicted to online gambling with their inability to leave that activity, and they tend when they have a limited amount of money to force to gamble online. As you said, with them like this it is clear that they get problems such as lack of physical activity such as exercise, also they tend to become lazy to do things that lead to health.

I think that even though they have grown up, it doesn't mean that parents let go of their supervision, it still applies even though they are adults, and the advice you said makes sense. And after that they also have to be aware of gambling things that can make them addicted to gambling which leads to the destruction of their lives. And also with those who are still young, they should be able to take advantage of the opportunities in their youth with good things, also by working to prepare for their own future. Because obviously their future should be prepared from now on and it also depends on themselves, because if they are addicted to gambling in their youth, of course I think their future will be destroyed.

Due to the development of the world, people have benefited as well as disadvantage. Earlier, as there was no online gambling, people physically participated in gambling very little, but nowadays, with the establishment of online casino platforms, young and old people are participating here. But they need to be more vigilant to steer young women away from casino platforms. If they can be kept under more surveillance, they may be able to stay away from online casinos. After that, children should be prevented from using mobile phones.  Gambling can be avoided if children can be kept away from mobile phones.

For some countries where gambling is legal, it will clearly become easier, not only in physical casinos, but online casinos will also be easier to access.
But in physical casinos, it is clear that there will be an age limit for the teenage generation young people will not be allowed to enter.
But all this is the opposite for online casinos and of course there is no age limit for regulations that customers must obey, if it is based on KYC then young people will use their parents identities to complete KYC.
There is nothing that can really limit and also reduce the risks of gambling for the younger generation, they will still have the freedom to decide what they choose and as long as there are many ways that make it easier, they can continue to gamble with lot of convenience.

The role of parents and teachers is very important in handling cases like this, they are closer to young people and they can continue to monitor, advise and also direct them towards better path.

clearly gambling will be a higher risk for the younger generation. because gambling is an addiction if you can't control someone who is still easy to leave everything, be it school or education, just for gambling and can commit crimes, for example, stealing so you can continue to gamble. actually not only young people of all ages can be addicted to gambling. let alone online gambling, where no one else knows what they are doing.

I have some reservations here. If the ID is required to enter in a physical casino, the MONEY is required to gamble online. Even if the teens are  able to create the account, bypass the KYC process by gambling at non-KYC casinos but who gives them money to gamble ? For sure the parents are funding them with this money that they are using to gamble.
If a child is consistently asking for money and we, as a parent, do not see where that money is going then probably it's time to look at the teen's activity. I still think that many teenagers are using their parents' KYC verified accounts and parents' money to gamble and the parents know about this.

I would put emphasis on physical activity and following their passion to be the things that can counter any sort of addiction - because the primary objective of any addiction is to avoid that daily routine and free one's self. For that the gateway for many are drugs and for some it is gambling.

So if people make sure to be active physically at least one per day and educate themselves to be what they want to be, a lot of problems can be solved right there. Unfortunately we created the problem ourselves by removing playgrounds and parks and creating a system of jobs that dont match people's skills. The core reason for that is the increasing population in our developing countries.

Still this problem existed since a long time, its not new and from a personal standpoint it can be prevented.

You can never tell if your children will secretly develop interest in gambling, and don't wait till you caught them in the act because it might already be too late, you are to lecture them about gambling and those who will move away will do it, and the ones that will believe that they can make something good from gambling will believe.

You don't have to become harsh and try to force them to look away, some people are born stubborn, they will still do it at your back and believe me this will make you a bad parent later, and next time when they have something in mind to share with their parents they won't be able to, because you sucks at been a parent.

Instead, be a good guidance, make sure your kids have no problem opening up to you, this will make them to always get you involve in whatever they plan to do, teach them how to be a good gambler if they are so into gambling, tell them your own past experience with gamblers around you or in your friends group, sometimes, sharing experience is enough for some kids to make decisions or making up their minds.

I agree that online gambling is more accessible than ever, but who is going to give the teenagers money, in order for them to start gambling?
Do you know any parents, who will give their children money to gamble? I definitely don't know such parents.
Do you think that the kids/teenagers will find ways to earn money, so they could start betting in the casino?
I think that gaming is a bigger problem for the kids than gambling. Some kids/teenagers are addicted to playing video games and this problem can be as bad as a gambling addiction.

Good post op. The risk has definitely increased for the younger generation as you mentioned, but there are more ways to minimise it too these days which is the silver lining.

I guess you haven't heard of the articles where it was reported that some kids stole their parents credit cards and gambled away their funds causing them huge losses. This is why it's important to secure debit and credit cards properly.

I think this topic has been a topic of discussion on several occasions.and indeed, it's a good idea for parents to educate their children about gambling. However, not all parents may feel comfortable with this, as many are overprotective. Today's children are eager learners, quick, smart, and easily exposed. The main reason kids may get into gambling is often due to the influence of their peer groups. Your child's friends can entice them into gambling without your knowledge, promoting the supposed benefits.

Unknown to these kids, they are jeopardizing their future and studies. Engaging in gambling at a young age often leads to early addiction and irresponsible behavior once they start receiving small rewards. In some countries, the majority of gamblers today are from the younger generation. As a parent, it's crucial to be aware of your children's activities and guide them to prevent them from going astray.

It's not only that, it's also a LOT easier to influence them. With the era of social media, even if parents wanted to, they can't exactly control their kid from doing what they want unless they rule with a hard iron fist, which most families don't. This leads to some of the younger gen to stray away from, well, what is common sense when it comes to growing up back in the day. At this point, they'd go all in for risks and whatnot not because they understand what they're doing but because they "watched" someone do it and get some fame and success lol.

I hardly think teachers and parents alike can do something if they really get swayed away. Most kids crave for something "new" after all.

I don't think the younger generation can feel entertain while gambling, mostly they're interested with porn and online games.

No, that's not the effective way, parents and teachers are not enough to solve this issue, we should pay attention with the friends. Friends sometime can give a big influence because both parents and teachers are often angry when they feel the kids do something that they don't want.

That's why strict parents and teachers aren't good solutions.

I realize that nowadays many younger generations are involved in online gambling which is easier in accessibility of casinos they like and even simpler which is not so complicated if you want to play in online casinos.

There are many impacts where they lose money, I think it's normal more they certainly don't want to be a productive person, don't want to work, have no other activities other than gambling because they only hope for luck if they want their money to come again, actually this has been a lot and separated from their parents because they don't care or they don't know their children often play in online casinos.

Now there are still many parents who still don't understand about technology now so only the children know, where when the child is involved in gambling the parents are just silent because they don't know anything, maybe they don't know there are online casinos.

I have seen around me, where there are several cases of young people who are addicted to online gambling, there are many things that have been done by their parents and also guidance from teachers, to the level of specialists involved, but the facts in the field of risk cannot be controlled, they still have risks in the gambling arena.

We have seen the facts on the ground, most of the young people who gamble do not pay attention to all the risks, most of them often hide it from those closest to them, especially when parents are caught in a new case, they are aware of the risks they face. For me, if they are young people, they are aware of the dangers and risks of gambling, there are no other people's stories to advise them, they themselves must have awareness of the risks of gambling.

Yes, it's true, especially since I often see underage children playing slot gambling where I live, I still think about how they can finance their gambling and what their motivation is for playing slot gambling, even though they should focus on studying at school and even get money from their parents. It made me think about what parents feel when they see their children gambling using the money they gave them or their children stealing money to gamble. it must have disappointed his parents indirectly.

The easy access that is currently available everywhere makes gambling increasingly difficult to stop, especially since there is so much online gambling every day and internet access is getting easier, gambling authorities should seriously prohibit children under the age or younger generation from gambling, I still wonder why children Underage people are free to gamble and is there no KYC process on the site which means they cannot complete it properly to stop gambling?

The younger generation does not understand that the risks they experience are not only about losing money but also the future that should be bright for them but becomes bleak just because they gamble. Again, the role of parents is very important for today's young generation because if you only rely on the government and the awareness of gambling site owners, it looks difficult.

I myself am a teacher, and encountered cases like this. In fact, gambling has entered the younger generation because it is very easy to access online gambling sites. The teacher's role is indeed important, but it is only limited to reminding and providing insight into what gambling is like. The role of parents is the most important. because every day children must be with their parents and will be more obedient if they are told by their parents themselves.

One way to prevent young people from gambling activities is to limit access to deposits. for example, not using banking or electronic money.

This is the effect of emerging technology to young generation since everything is easy to access for them plus there are a lot of gambling advertisement popping up and also this is well advertise by majority of social media personality. And this people promote to much and tell a lie that they can easily earn with the casino they promote that's the reason why there are people want to try what they are talking about then see if they can really earn. Some young guys got interested to participate since they think its so fun to play on those casino and ride with those influencers they promote.



Parents need to step up on this issue and properly guide their children towards this activities so that they will not fall into addiction and they can save their children for more heavier complication brought by gambling addiction.

I agree that it starts from the house and school but that's not an easy thing to do now. I bet there will be 1 or 2 who will listen to authorities out of 50 or 100 students because the influence they get all over the internet is just too strong. Kids normally understand that it's not a good idea to risk money but they are also at a stage where doing something like gambling or drinking is "cool".

Yes, the ease of accessing gambling platforms makes more and more people addicted to gambling. Even in my country gambling is prohibited, but in reality there are very many gamblers and most of them are young people.

It looks like this will become a serious problem in the future because gambling can destroy the lives of those who are still young. Special education may be needed for them, especially those who are not yet working or still in school. One way my country's government does this is to block access to gambling sites, but that won't work because casinos have a lot of mirror addresses and vpn

Informative teachings would help but will not guarantee avoidance of gambling; if there's a will then there's a way.  However, proper guidance could prevent them from going too far in gambling and that simply means opening their eyes on worse outcomes of this activity. Casinos are also making their own actions and I believe one of it is KYC procedure that most of the gamblers are avoidant of; for me it has its valid purpose so I just comply to it and so far I never encountered any problem at all. For strict family environments, then could track browsing habits and social relations of their child to at least lessen the exposure and tendency of gambling addiction.

Online gambling indeed gives opportunity to youngsters, therefore being preventive would be best. Have them being checked at least everyday to be aware of what they are doing and to correct things which are going out of your hands as a parent. We as older generations are aware of how gambling took our interests and that should be enough for us to take precautionary actions for our children. Gambling is not a bad thing in general, it is just one's mindset and intention which gives such color into it.

What is it with everyone acting so weak? We must eliminate all gambling from the world or we will burn in hell type attitudes. Gambling has been around forever and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Instead of this gambling is evil attitude and our kids will suffer, how about you teach your children the risks? Teach people that gambling is for fun, not for life. Let them know not only the risks, but the rewards as well. Can't just teach the bad.

Probably because of the culture. Gambling is already have a stigma mostly on asian country because that’s how parents raise their child like in my country which my parents are both religious.

Gambling or taking risk that involves money in general is not a Christian way so most of us here consider gambling as a serious sin. There’s still some family that view gambling as normal here but the society in general considers it a stigma so I won’t blame them if they have same culture like my country which is sucks for a gambler like me surrounded by these people ideology.

Adolescence is a time of rapid growth and physical, social and emotional change, and also a time of experimentation. It is during this period that people generally start drinking, smoking, trying other drugs and also
initiate sexual activity. Even though involvement in risky activities decreases over the years, this can be an especially dangerous period for some more vulnerable teenagers to develop a serious gambling addiction problem that is often completely irreversible.

The interesting thing, or not, is that betting on gambling is prohibited for people under 18 all over the world, with the exception of some countries like England and Iceland (I don't remember others). But even so, young people generally start gambling in late childhood and early adolescence, before they even try other risky behaviors such as alcohol and tobacco use.
Why that? I think it's because supervision of underage gambling is still much lower than for other illegal activities.

Not only the younger generation, many underage children are also involved in the world of gambling. because in modern times like this, minors are provided with onsel by their parents. And this is a quite worrying situation, apart from not having good self-control, they also have no income and still depend on their parents to meet their living needs. And because he doesn't have good self-control, he will easily get caught up in the world of gambling and become addicted. So it is very worrying if the desire to gamble is not fulfilled, this can cause children to behave badly, such as lying to their parents or selling goods at home without their family's knowledge. This is not just empty talk, but this actually happened.

And of course, to anticipate and minimize this, education needs to be intensified regarding the negative impacts of gambling, both at school and at home.

I agree the risk for the young generation is there and it's significantly higher than it used to be, due to accessibility and online gambling becoming a part of computer games, the way it's a part of counterstrike. Children might unknowingly become gamblers through these games, and then proceed to look for more risky games, where they can spend more money.


Instead of putting all the weight on the shoulders of teachers and parents, why don't you think of some ways in which you can contribute. You advertise casinos, just like me and many other people here, but you want parents and teachers to discourage people from gambling. I'd assume that you aren't one of these two occupations. ;)

As long as children have access to mobile phone with internet connection, it becomes a huge task to monitor them on what to do with the phone. It will really be difficult to stop them because children are smarter and more curious now. The best is to start early in advising and teaching them how to be more responsible individuals.  We should watch the kind of freedom and lifestyle we expose our children to with respect to their age. We should convince them with love on why they have to not do certain things in their age, this way they know you mean well for them.

Most importantly, we should be responsible parents so that children can learn from us because they learn more from what they see their parents do than what they say. This is why we must keep our gambling confidential to protect our children.

Technology brings a lot of new problems that our parents and grandparents did not face. On the other hand, they had their own problems, like communism, war, poverty, lack of technology, medicine, medical equipment.

I agree that we have to control what our kids do because they're going to be able to gamble at night in their rooms, using a small phone hidden under the pillow. You won't even know. This phone gives them access to online markets, porn, brutal movies and gambling.

It's not like gambling is the biggest problem of them all. I'd rather have my child gamble from time to time with the money that he or she earns, than have them buy drugs or alcohol. All addictions are bad, but some can be much worse.

Its does really have its benefits which it would really be just that typical or normal since advancement and new inventions and discoveries does bring out that great convenience and accessibility
on human lives on which this is something that we should really be thankful because it did really make our lives way more easier and convenient but we do know that in all of those benefits
and utility on which there would really be those cons too on which it  could really affect out younger generation on which it would really be just that normal that you would
really be trying out your best as a parent to guide them in the most better ways of living and trying out to avoid on things which might disrupt their growth
specially with gambling. So as a parent then it would really be just that part of parenting and your responsibility.

If the younger generation is involved in gambling, they can lose control of themselves because, at a young age, they are vulnerable to becoming emotional, and ultimately, they will be triggered to use more of their money. The younger generation needs to realize that they don't need to gamble, and with the guidance of adults around them, they can give them the understanding to stay away from gambling. They don't need to seek pleasure from gambling games if they know there are bad impacts behind gambling. They can use other activities to get pleasure so that they will not experience gambling addiction like other young generations. This is where parents and teachers must continue to guide these teenagers so they will not try to gamble.

That's always what this whole innovation and renaissance has been about... Well, am i gonna say they knew too well the negative effects that it'd cost them and they still went ahead with it?; Cus why shouldn't they have Known?... The increase in life-threatening cases all year round has blurred the whole purpose of the adoption of casinos on the web and I dunno if they, (the governs) are Willing to impede the whole process?.

---

all the same, technology wasn't supposed to be put back because of whatever vises it'd cause in the near future.. I believe they'd be a chance of plan and course.

Well i guess you technically can talk about younger generation when only example is 25 years old, but that's definitely a grownup who is fully aware of their own decisions. They might lack life experience, but they should have enough understanding of what they are doing to be liable. But sure, gambling is rather easily available so people do it more, just like anything else that's easily available. I am not so sure it's just a bad thing. Also people can more easily moderate their gambling when they can take breaks and gamble when ever they choose. Back in time when you could play only in casinos, i think people over did it and played as long as possible.

And imho instead of teaching dangers of gambling, kids would be betteroff being educated about biases and probability, because lack of those it what creates the basis for people thinking that they get a magic ticket for financial freedom, and that gambling might be their only way to do that. While they miss the point of having fun past time while being responsible young adults.

It's a really concerning situation when gambling is getting more and more popular and rampant and it's obvious that it's the young people or the younger generation that will play the role of potential players, players along with being victims in the end, after all gambling is an activity that has great risks and should not be taken seriously, otherwise it's clear as the OP said that this will involve many other problems coming up and one of the most dangerous is when young people are no longer interested in doing other activities such as school or work for their own interests and only want to win from their gambling dedication. On the other hand parents or teachers do have quite an influential role in this or maybe some other close people, but I think it would be easier to overcome this if the government gets involved by implementing any policy that aims to limit them, because what is worried and what is guaranteed is that the future of young people will be destroyed because of this problem.

There certainly is a propensity for the younger generation to fall for cheap tricks and the allure of earning a lot of money without doing anything, especially now that they are practically tied to their gadgets and the internet. I say the lack of care and vigilance among parents' are also a big contributor to why a lot of kids are lead to bad influences. From gambling to crimes. Gambling is just as popular as it was back then. I don't think there's been a paradigm shift in relevance, notice, or outlook among people as many still see gambling as either exploitative or as a means to earn money (which should not be the way to perceive gambling mind you) but oh well. As a kid, it's your responsibility to make sure that your life choices lead you to better days as well, you can't just blame everything to your upbringing or how mom and dad doesn't notice you that much so you'd just invest your time and effort into gambling instead of bettering your life.

The younger generations are the ones that gamble most, and they are still the ones that are addicted to gambling, because the rate at which young generations are looking for money is really alarming. They are ready to go to any length just to make money, so since they already know that they can make money from gambling, they will keep on gambling even when they are losing massively. They are always having the hope that if they keep on gambling, they will end up hitting jackpot, so some of them will do crazy things just to make money so that they will be able to gamble.
 
 
Seriously, there are lots of things that gambling can cause to the younger generations. When they are addicted to gambling and have no money left to gamble with, they might end up terrorising the society in which they live. Some might end up stealing or doing illegal things that will affect them.

The young generation is basically considered as the leaders and valuable resources of our nation but if we cannot prevent these valuable resources from this terrible curse called gambling then our world cannot expect anything valuable from our young generation. Especially with the proliferation of online gambling and casinos around us, we have no choice but to worry about this generation in the future. The way our young generation is wasting their time in online casinos and gambling sites is greatly affecting the career and education of the young generation. It is guaranteed that all these addicted young generation will not be able to contribute anything of value to the nation and the country in the future. This young generation must be freed from this terrible curse or the nation will plunge into a dark future.

The younger generation who had take part in the gambling should play the responsible gambling game in the real life.Because the gamblers who playing the gambling is based on their own real money.Some of the younger generation from some of the religions backgrounds will not take part in gambling because of their own religious beliefs.But some of the gamblers who was playing the gambling from their younger ages will do the gambling for their own sake of entertainment.But the gamblers who had wide knowledge about the gambling will not get to play gambling often without knowing what they actually addicted to gambling themselves.

let them experience what gambling has to offer in life. we can't dictate how they go on with their respective lives. in time, they will understand what's the real deal in this activity. experience will teach them lessons in life that they can bring throughout their lifetime. so there's no worry if you know a youngster exploring the world of gambling. they have their own time to mature and see life on a different perspective.

but of course, as much as possible, parental guidance is always recommended as it can influence to how the youngster will go on with his life. if they have good upbringing and something good instilled in them, the parents don't need to worry as these kids can manage on their own. parents can't be present 24/7, so such possibility of exploring on their own is always there.

We have lost many potential future generations who could be expected to lead the country in the future, I feel worried about the condition of the future leadership of the young generation who are currently addicted to gambling and we have no role in limiting gambling for anyone because access to online casino gambling at any time and everywhere, many members of the younger generation are already addicted to gambling. We have seen many cases of corruption in government circles due to the impact of gambling addiction and we do not want to experience the same cases in the future leadership elections of the younger generation.

Yes, that's right, online gambling is growing, which is the leading reason why younger generations can easily access gambling. The widespread presence of advertisements, betting websites, and online gambling is making the online environment toxic, posing many risks for the young generation to be lured into gambling. Children really do not fully understand the severe harm of gambling. As you said, if families, schools, and the government do not strictly manage it, the young generation will plunge the country into darkness because the young generation will be the backbone of the country in the future. Families with young children should proactively manage this issue well. Don't let things go too far before finding a solution. Gambling can quickly become addictive, especially with the naive minds of the younger generation.

I think I just tackled this on the other thread but it doesn't focus on the younger generation though so this is good that we talk about it.

Kids. I always want to try to leave them alone and learn what they can. But there must be a limit. If ever they will bump into gambling, porn, and other 21+ stuff then I must intervene because  I want to keep them innocent for as long as possible until they can understand everything completely.
This generation, kids are too aggressive about everything and they think they have the right to freedom for anything they do because that's what has been said on social media by other people. It's wrong. When I was a kid there's no such thing as freedom. When we are still leaning with our parents then we must obey everything they say. If not, then we can go our separate ways and live on our own. Too many spoiled brats in this era and they think they own this world.
Gambling has been a problem for generations, we must be more aware now of how we will introduce it to our kids because there are always chances of addiction.

Sometimes I am also thinking that we are over reacting on those risk but we forgot something that gambling is somehow fun to participate. That's why we are here now we enjoy it that's why we gamble. Its just we really need to guide our children so that they would know how to deal something on those gambling site and also how they approach on those people mislead them towards those site they are trying to promote them.

Once they are aware of everything by our guidance and also we are available to answer all the question they would ask for sure all those risk is nothing then our child would understand that nothing is easy on gambling. Then for sure with that they would have nice approach toward the games they encounter or catch their interest to play.

The internet has made it such that you don't have to go to a land casino before you will be able to access a gambling facility but before now you may have to visit a land casino and be of the required age els you will not be permitted but now people who are much younger fill up false details so as to get access to the online casinos and get on the platform.

Teachers and parents talking to them will not be just enough because some may later go as far as trying it out in the closet where no one sees them especially the very curious Ones who gets too inquisitive about any thing new they get to know about so I think restrictions I best, restrict them from using gadget that are not PG regulated, so they have less access to +18 sites but if they are using regular gadget then it will be more difficult because talking and scolding alone wouldn't help and you can't be with them all the time.

It is not secret Internet, communication and electronics have paved the way for more accessibility to services and goods, gambling one of them.
To me it is rather responsability of the parents to correctly watch over the activity of their teenage children on the internet.
Keeping children and teens off online Casinos are one of the uses of KYC policies which I openly support, to be honest.

The neglect of parents or the lack of parenting skills is the real problem, the root problem of teens getting into gambling instead of doing what they are supposed to and go to school or have a summer job.
Obviously, besides of factors, casinos are not supposed to target teens and children with their advertisement campaigns, I have not seen some relevant casino doing so, though, video companies seem to do it, through the implementation of loot boxes and other elements which resemble gambling.

I agree with limiting the use of gadgets. Increased supervision in accessing 18+ sites is also necessary. Apart from that, we also have to monitor our friends, if possible, we also have to be selective in choosing our children's friends and environment. The environment and friends can be the main factors in protecting children from falling into gambling or negative actions.

Yes, currently there are many young people who participate in the world of gambling and there are even quite a few who do it, as is the case in my environment, many young people understand about online gambling and do it in hangout places and this is something that is commonplace among the younger generation nowadays. now and most of them are unemployed and only rely on gambling as their source of income and the gambling they play is slots where the game only relies on uncertain luck.

Not all parents understand technology nowadays, some do, some don't and usually the age factor can be a particular reason, for parents who understand technology and understand online gambling, they can definitely limit their children from gambling. But for parents who don't understand technology and don't understand what online gambling is, they don't know what their children are playing so they can't prevent their children or forbid them from gambling.

Well, not sure about teachers but parents do need to educate their children about certain things that they need to stay away from until a certain age or even after that, and gambling should be one of those things. It's their upbringing that will matter when the children grow up. This education shouldn't be putting pressure on the children or making them afraid and stuff, but it should be based on true and correct facts and realities regarding gambling or other activities that the children need to be careful about.

If parents don't believe that their children would listen to them and they might still get involved, they should start following up on them and regularly checking up on their activities, and electronic devices since every child has them these days, and if they find something while monitoring, they should remove it and then handle the situation calmly and in a good way so that the children understand.

This is thoughtful of you, and it is a discussion that is not so common even though I and some other people would have thought about this. Well, I pity the next generation, if things are not being done to avert issues now, it will be so bad for them, especially these days that parents are not even wise, and most of them are still to be trained not to talk of them training the children. This is why you see bad products everywhere to the point that you will not even be sure if they (children) are trained at all. But that aside, gambling is a concern truly, and this concern is mostly about addiction which can cause a waste of money and insanity in people. If adults are still battling with gambling addiction without a green light of hope to be free, how much are the younger ones, especially those who would become addicted at a very early age and later become adults still doing it?

This can't be fine at all as it will be more difficult for them to let go. Technology is partly blamed here, as good as it is, it has its evil too, but still, everyone's hands must be on the desk in this regard to save the coming generation. The parents, the teachers, the concerned friends, neighbours and relatives and even the government should have the roles to play here. The best is to educate and let this younger generation know about gambling just like how they are encouraging people about sex education. They should expose the bad and good sides of gambling to them and give them tracked/practical examples of how gambling addictions work and how it has affected a lot of people. Maybe this will go a long way in creating fear or awareness which could cause caution in them before they become engrossed with what might affect them for the rest of their lives.

Well, casinos are everywhere, at least in my country. There are casinos on every corner... The law says that "the casino must be at least 200 meters away from the school", this is not respected. As for advertisements, they are everywhere, on all TV and radio channels at any time of the day. They advertise their land-based and their online versions, they give huge bonuses and different prizes. So it's stupid for us to act surprised that the younger generations are more involved in gambling...


I agree. My kids are still too young at the moment, but I do agree that it's on us to educate our kids about the world outside and all the pros & cons of specific things. And for sure there is the right time for everything, we just need to be smart and notice when is that time... I guess it sounds like a simple thing. ;)

We can see many parents who are struggling about their kids. I think this also has to do of them being spoiled by us. So for those who are planning to have a child, they must avoid this as early as possible. Some kids are too wise, that they know how to access our wallets.

Also there is a free version of gambling games which are available in the store (for phones and pc). They can still play it and develop an addiction by there. Most ads are based only on our activity but the thing is that there are so many influencers now who promote a casino. And a kid can see them anytime. But there must be a social media app for kids which filters these kind of adult contents.

Maybe good idea to do but we also need to consider that this is not the only thing that can lead them to gambling so maybe just have proper supervision towards their activity made online is what needed since if you try to limit the usage of their gadget children may feel bad about us for doing that.

If we see them participating on any gambling activity then its time for us to step up since for sure we are the one who can explain all about gambling as we have experience to deal with it and for sure once they understand about what they are saying then our children will be the one will avoid participating on any of it. Proper guidance is all what they need here also I will not stop them if they gamble since its like part of their growth and maybe they can learn a lesson for taking part of risk involve on this activity. If we are worried about the risk we make sure that we are always available if they need our presence.

The access to information through the internet has indeed made things easier and also been of great advantage and just like the way everything has advantage, also several disadvantages comes with this too and one of them is this particular issue you pointed at because I won't lie the younger generation are indeed likely to suffer from this free and easy access to gambling especially when they do get involved from a tender age and that's why so many young people here in my place are starting to exhibit the habits of addict at a very young age and most of them their parents are unaware that they need help seriously.

Teenager gambling is a big no-go and needs to be adressed quickly in my opinion. At least in all the countries where I have gambled before, the minimum age for gambling was always 18 years. It makes no sense to allow any minors to gamble, because there is no real concept of money yet. Without working for the money yourself, how can you understand how difficult it is to make enough money to have enjoy things like gambling? When visiting my local casino we always have to show our IDs when entering, this is not only to check for your age but to also not allow in people that have been banned or self excluded them from the casino. It's just right to have a similar level of protection when it comes to online gambling. I know that many people are against KYC and don't want to share their personal information online, but when there is a rise of teenagers gambling something needs to change. Putting pressure on the parents and teachers is okay to a certain extent, but we need to realise that full supervision is not possible during teenage years. The teachers only see the kids in the morning and afternon, after school they have no impact on what the kids are doing. As for the parents they likely spend all day at work and will only be home in the evenings. It's really hard to try and any block something out of the life of kids if they really want to do it. Limiting their access to money might probably a good way to avoid teenage gambling in the future, but it's going to help prepare our kids for their own life to be independent with money.

Parents have lots of work to do in the society, although the current parents who don't know much about the tech world, have done their best, but seems they failed in their teachings regarding the use of gadgets for longer period. Hence, a new set of parenthood would be emerging soon, which include the tech savvies and computer trained people. Then we'd know if the problem is from the parents or the schools. It may be the fault of the parents to some extent, but the society has a lot of duties to do with young people to stop their excessive engagement in gambling. Most of them hide these activities from their parents, and it's getting out of hand, even in the recent world economy, parents hardly spend time with kids. Both parents go to work for long hours, some do shift, to get more money to settle the family bills and take care of the child.

While they're away to work the child may engage in different activities due to boredom. Going out with friends and peers, is their best fun time. So, it'll be a tough thing to change the mindset of most young people to begin to see gambling for it truly is, other than a way of earning money. Online casino has made it very simple for youths to gamble excessively and get addicted in the process. Many youths are lonely and have nothing doing, that's why they spend their stipends or pocket money gambling. However, other youths are getting deeply addicted to video games. Which is about to ruin the social lives of the young people in the society. The electricity lifestyle has pushed the society to a way different level and things are expected to remain the same.

You have a point, that's why it's better to have a guidance and proper conversation between parents and kids nowadays. It is important to answer their questions and curiosities if they have , so that they will not seek answers from other people which usually turns to become one of the reason why they know how to engage in this kind of activity, Usually some other kids really wants to find an answer by the help of the internet which cause them a lot to become more curious, that's why having one on one conversation will easily help them to know and to understand why they shouldn't try gambling.

I think parents and teachers need to talk openly with youngs about the downsides of online gambling. Letting them know the real deal about addiction and its consequences is important for making smarter choices and having a good time without going overboard. It's all about giving them the lowdown in a way that clicks because i think when you tell them not to do something, that's exactly how the become curious and try

I have read and seen a lot of stories that people have encountered with gambling that they are really young and continued to adolescence. Some have been addicted and have them being secretive on what they are doing. They feel like they are guilty, which they probably are but it's ever increasing with how the online casinos are doing now.

I hope that the parents have some way of intervention in helping the generation build themselves that kind of guidance when growing up so that they won't be at risk with gambling.

The younger generation must also have good self-control if they want to gamble because with the many temptations that exist in gambling, it is feared that they could be tempted and end up using all their money to gamble. Moreover, the younger generation is not yet working and is still dependent on their parents, so they could lose all the money that would otherwise be used to meet their daily needs. This would be very unfortunate because, in his teens, he could do many things, but because he was more interested in gambling, he became addicted to gambling, so this would have an impact on him and his future. Few of the younger generation have a sense of responsibility for themselves. Hence, there is a possibility that more teenagers will experience gambling addiction, and if that happens, it may be not easy to cure it.

I have few numbers of cousins and they are all male, they don't have any interest in gambling, I look out for them because I care and whenever I bring up gambling they ridicule the habit, they also give examples of their colleagues in school that got ruined because of gambling.

Not all younger generations give a F about gambling, some do and some don't, it's not all of them, the environment they grow up in always says a lot about the behaviour of these young generations, some are desperate to do anything for money and even their parents won't correct them, as it's clearing that parents are the ones turning those young people into what they are today.

Like a old man once told me, he said not all parents of today are worth been called a parent, they themselves should still be in their fathers and mothers home for some lecture about parenting, and honestly I can't say that this is a lie, judging from the little I have seen around me.

It's always about the parents because they need to educate and support their children with good education both at home and outside. They need to teach them good manners and to preserve that, they need to make sure that they are going out with good companies when they'e not home.

Obviously, some other people will think this is easy but sometimes when you just slip a little bit by letting them go with some strange kids, they cannot forget what they have just experienced and probably will keep the curiosity in their mind for a long time, unless you are a responsible parent and will never slack to teach them everything they need in their lives.

some people in our community when they were young, used to be addicted to local gambling games but when their parents took action, they forgot all of that and did not pay any single attention to their addictions anymore.

I agree with the article you provided, ease of access and curiosity which is the nature of the youth are the two of the main elements that can make youth lose itself from gambling, the youth loves to venture because we are in a fast paced and extravagant generation where money is always involved in our every move.
The youth are in a hurry to make money and the gambling casino are just one of the venue that they can explore to get fast money they fancy the gambling platform as a place where they can reach their dream of making a lot of money.

If the youth is not properly guided he will be at loss when faced with a situation where he can make money from gambling, its not only the parents and teachers its also the concern of the government.
The youth is the hope of the nation, we cannot maximize the potential of the youth if he is too involved in gambling.

Nowadays it is easy to limit their using of each sites because we can control or  set limits in their accessibilities   and also Guidance as what you said is important because sometimes it only reflects to how we treat our children and what they are seeing in life , that will give them hints and attitudes towards matter.
better to let them realized the importance of life in different perspectives , not because we don't want them to learn gambling but also to make them understand the world in the future.

Due to technology today on which this particular aspect would really be that normal or really just that there would really be missed handling of our children as a parent on which i could really tell this basing up on real experience on which there's no way that you could really be able to monitor every single move and actions made out by our children on which it would really be just that right that you should really know on what are your responsibilities on how to handle them up. Dont make yourself that easily give up because its part of us as a parent.
Anything could really be that destructive if we wont really be that careful when it comes to those possible things that could affect out on the way.

Even if the parents will step and remind their children or teens not to gamble, if they're around they are not sure what their children are doing. And that's why many we see that are into gambling even at a young age. It's easier this time and it's true that it's more accessible because of how easy to obtain a smartphone, and download some gambling app and that's it.

They don't even mind if the gambler is a minor or not yet appropriate age for gambling. What matters to them is they've got another customer ready to gamble and deposit to their casino. While we don't like to take KYC, them, they're taking advantage of it because these kids won't even have the identity to place to prove that they're at the right age to gamble.

And this is a fact that the rapid growth of online casinos, with the ease and accessibility of modern technology through smartphones. Having a problem like this seems to be the norm nowadays.

Sometimes gambling is just an escape from every problem or lack of positive activities that can utilize one's free time. I am sure that teenagers who have positive activities and are busy with their hobbies tend to avoid online gambling activities. I did not conduct a survey regarding this matter, but what I observed in my environment is indeed like that in reality, plus the influence of the environment we are in, if the people around us do not have online gambling activities then 80 percent of children and local residents will not even know about online gambling. . However, if it were the other way around, then 80 percent of local residents and children would know and play gambling online and offline. Friends and relatives have a huge influence on our habits.

We need to extend our time taking good care of our young folks, they need guidance and we as parents need to be there to enlighten them. There's always a way if we want them to walk on to the right path. The emerging technology can quickly damage their mindset, which we need to be held responsible in working to prevent that damage affecting their future.

Even regardless how busy we are, we should be more careful in planning how we will provide good guidance to our kids, letting them realize what risk are waiting if they are doing things irresponsibly will help to create preventions inside their young minds. Just need to be their, not just to provide basic needs but more to develop their good and responsible attitude towards that kind of life that awaits them.

A child grows according to the life in and outside his society. The training a child gets at home, differs from what the society would teach him. That's why they're complications between parent child relationship, in recent days the teachings don't corollate. In the past, if I may assume, before the invention of electricity and internet, parents still had to battle gambling addiction with their kids. Casinos existed, and if it wasn't there then, people gambled on their own, in different games like football, wrestling, bull fight etc. It may have been the growth of man up to this stage that youths and adults will gamble. These days it has been innovated to suit the recent technology which the world is so fascinated about, the internet. To get the attention of the child, it's mainly about video games, or online videos.

All they want is a device to keep them busily happy. While parents tend to change the life of their ward to focus on books or choose to ask them questions other than google, they need to provide the time between them and their kids. Children want their parents around them, they want to grow close to their parent. But have been denied of such privilege what would the child do when his parents are not at home to teach him. He runs to google for any unanswered question that's bothering him. There he can get some ads pointing to a site he may be too tender to visit. Like gambling. If he had some close relationship, they would voluntarily tell them about the site he's visiting. It rarely happens. Most kids keep it to themselves, trying to make their parents proud with a huge gambling win.

Obviously... if gambling is played by children who are not yet old enough, then this gambling will be negative for the child's growth and development. because they do not have enough knowledge, experience and good self-control in gambling. And this is really dangerous.

And of course, to be able to start online gambling, we must have at least four things, namely, smartphone, internet package, balance and digital wallet. For smartphones, nowadays almost all children have smartphones, because today's children's lives cannot be separated from smartphones and regarding internet packages, I am quite surprised because today's children cry, not because they want to buy them for them. snacks, but they cried because they wanted to buy an internet package. And related to finances, because they are still part of their parents' responsibilities, so all their needs still depend on their parents, including pocket money. Well... what makes me not understand how those who are still minors and don't have an identity card yet, but they have digital wallets and m-banking which are used as a means to carry out online gambling transactions. how can they do it.?

      -   You know you're right about what you said, mate, because sometimes I gamble to forget the problem I'm facing. Because by playing gambling, I get relief and can think properly about this matter. Then, in this time, really, the youth today, even if we keep them away from gambling, will not know and will still know about gambling whether it is online or offline.

Apart from that, you may be right about the young people or younger people you refer to as lacking positivity, but eventually that can also be changed, to be honest.

Thank you for the positive response you gave... What I said is not necessarily true, but from what I have experienced and noticed it is like that, and you also confirmed that gambling is an escape from a problem, just like smoking. Regarding whether it can be changed or not, I am also sure that it can be changed, but it still requires a strong will from each individual. Maybe there are experts who can handle this in their respective areas, we usually call them psychologists, their role can help someone psychologically.

There is a part of gambling that fits calling some people lazy people, and sorry to say, this generation is full of them, people who don't want to take the hard part always find gambling to be the best way, they trade their possibility of learning a good skill for gambling and that's why many under graduate ends up becoming gambling addict, like one who don't want to learn any skills and use over nine years to gamble believing that he will get lucky, now things have gotten extremely harder for him.

You don't want to choose gambling as your main road to success, there is ninety-nine percentage chance that you will fail and waste your years away doing nothing, I believe the reason why people get addicted to gambling is lack of understanding, why are people working so hard everyday when they can just gamble and get rich? Why are people working from 8am to 5pm just to have food on their table? If it's easy with gambling everyone would have turned into a gambler.

Gambling is by luck, if it's your bad day you will keep losing money, since you are in the dark and don't know when you will get lucky you need to safe yourself from unwanted losses, that's why it's very important to keep risking what you can afford to lose in the main time till your turn to get lucky will come around.

When a child begins to develop certain habits that are not healthy for him, check his parents first and then the environment he is in. We are now in an era where parents pay little attention to their children. When they neglect these children for too long, these children begin to seek for satisfaction at the odd places and the parents won't get to notice this if they are not friends with their children. They only get to find out when the children begin to suffer in their academics, become socially isolated or begin to steal/take loans just to gamble.  A child who is supposed to be studying  have no business with gambling. Parents need to be up to date with every happenings in the lives of their children so they do not get influenced easily by their environment.

It is better to caution these younger generation now that we still can. If we allow them to grow with the mindset that a little gambling won't harm, they might get lazy to really think of a proper means of earning money, worst still addiction might set in.

Instilling information like this is important for parents in the family or the school environment through learning materials. For countries that prohibit gambling, of course, it is prohibited. but for countries that legalize gambling, of course, we have to understand the limits and risks of gambling itself.
If you are a gambler, don't do gambling activities in front of your children, or when you are with your family. do it yourself and just hope no one finds out.
Young people are very vulnerable to addiction. Moreover, they have limited playing capital. because they have not been able to earn money from work, they must be able to manage their finances first before starting to start gambling.

I don't think it's only happen now, when I was a kid, most of parents are hard workers and they didn't give a big attention to develop their children. Even we're not live on where technology is booming and every parents have cellphone, but we can get introduce to gambling, porn etc by our friends, so it depends on the children whenever they want to follow the friends or not.

Gladly I didn't follow that even I was still young.

For me, child training is something that has to do with time and early capturing of the child, because most of the times, majority of the things that our kids does are learned from the perants and for such alot of them will only copy from the father mother or any of the adults that are around them, this is why we need to handle kids as young as possible because if we failed to handle them it will become difficult to control them when their have already grown up and it could be an impossible thing trying to control them or telling them what is wrong and what is right at the same times teaching them all the fundamentals that they need to grow with as they journey along in real life, this is most important and ket fundamental foundations for parenting.

If the parents are gambling themselves and they advise their children not to gamble, then how will the children take this advice? I think that they will not take it seriously because they have the excuse that if it is a bad thing, why do the parents continue to gamble?

I think the parents need to realize that if they want to put a ban on their children's gambling, they should take the first step themselves and stop gambling themselves. If they can't stop, make sure that they gamble when the children are not around them so that the children do not know that their parents are gambling.

These days teenagers are very sharp and it is not that easy that we ask them to stop gamble and they will immediately obey us. They would give many reasons to gamble and we cannot say anything against their arguments if we gamble ourselves.

The most dangerous thing is underage gamblers, only the role of parents and those closest to them can stop them, but this is very difficult to overcome because of the easy access to open casino sites, especially nowadays, the average small child can hold their smartphone very easily. to access whatever they want, so be careful with your child, always supervise him closely

The reason for increasing the tendency of gambling among the youth is that the youth of the current generation likes to live a very lazy life, due to which gambling becomes their favorite place. Although many of them are told how bad gambling is, these advices fail to motivate them. At the same time, the amount of gambling among the youth is increasing day by day and it is not possible to curb it in any way. And gambling sites are representing themselves in such a way that young people are bound to be attracted

This is not surprising and not new to me, maybe the way people now gamble here is making feel like dejavu. The rate at which people play sports betting here is alarming and the primary reason is low job opportunities and the available ones are too competitive or low pay check and because of this, the rate at which people gamble has now supercedes the numbers we used to have before. Can you imagine that women now share bet codes to each other as soon as tickets bets code are dropped? It's really scary.

The only way this numbers can be reduce is to make sure that there job for both the young and adult looking men, people don't gamble for fun anymore but for money and if the government want to reduce it, they have to provide job for people. In places where job opportunities aren't the problem, I think restrictions measures should be adopted and also reduce the  number of gambling platforms that is also on the rise.

Did you also notice that there has been increased in gambling platforms? It's a very big concern.

For a fact that gambling comes with alot of pressure it becomes evil for underage kids since they can't control they emotions at that age, for one to attempt to gamble you need to be 18+ because at that age at least you should be able to handle risk and being able to make your own money to gamble with, this is very important because if you as perants introduced gambling to your kids at younger age than 17 down, it may be very dangerous for them.

This is why we need to do everything with discretion and privacy watching what we do in the presence of our kids, because it will have direct influence on them and in the future it may become a problem for both us and the society at large.

The young generation always looks for something to entertain themselves more due to the lack of doing something useful, very few except those who are interested in studying, I have seen that the majority just want to be influencers, that money rains down on them without much effort and this It's something that doesn't seem to me, it's fine if they can get money however they want , but the world also needs many people who are focused, who are Professionals who don't get carried away with parties , alcohol and everything that has to do with things. easy things.

The new generations may have some investment with casinos, because they risk money, they know that in a casino they can win a lot if they have many bets with high amounts of money , and that is something that everyone can see, I am not convinced with that, because That can bring many more cases of addiction, a lot of depression and that is partly not good, in the hands of whom are we going to be left in a few years? person who has many problems and who are not able to control themselves.

I am pretty sure that younger generation having the social media and technology right under their hands is the biggest problem. They keep seeing gambling and how easy it is for them to gamble. When I was growing up, gambling online was a possibility when I was a kid, but it wasn2t this easy, it was still possible but required so many things, which ended up with me not having easy time gambling, I tried a bit when I was younger, but it took me a while.

On the other hand, when we are talking about my fathers time, they weren't even capable of gambling even if they wanted to, maybe illegal friendly local tavern games, which they did hiding from the cops, but it wasn't allowed and was totally illegal, so not many did. Hence, younger generation is doing it more, because it is a lot more easier for them.

It is the role of parents to be able to teach their children that gambling is entertainment and they should only play it when they grow up, because in their youth now it is better for them to learn many things and explore things that can improve their potential. Parents should teach their children the basic knowledge they need so that they think twice before gambling.
And not only parents, here the government's role is also important to regulate that casinos do not market their products to underage children and prevent them from absorbing underage users onto their platforms. So with cooperation from the government, casinos and parents, it is hoped that the number of young people gambling under age can be reduced.

As a parent then it would really be that our responsible on raising our children on the right path.Although gambling isnt really that a bad thing but we are really that doing our very best on trying out to avoid into those things on which we dont really like to happen specially if we do speak about gambling addiction or too much spending money or fund through it., We do know that once addiction would kick in then it would really be that hard to get out. This is why we would really be doing our best on trying out to avoid them on things which it could really affect their overall life situations on which we know that we cant really be forever on their sides.
No parent doesnt really wants nor likes for their children would really be suffering on such addiction due to mishandling or not be able to give out awareness or let them learn or know about it.

Sometimes we cant really be able to monitor everything and this is why we would really be experiencing out those kind of problems because our children cant really be able to avoid
into engaging into those things due to curiosity on which this is really that the real challenge for most parents.

Because currently there are still a lot of parents who don't really understand technology because every era they live in is different from today's times, maybe for today's young parents they understand technology better and understand what online gambling is. There are some parents who limit playing on cell phones and there are also parents who not are too demanding by limiting the use of cellphones because nowadays many of the young generation are strict and don't care about their parents prohibitions. So that as parents they can't do much, they can only monitor their children's activities and hope they don't do anything out of control, which in the end detrimental to their parents.

And parents who are busy working definitely don't pay too much attention to their children because they are too concerned about works to be able to earn money to support their children lives. No matter how busy parents are, taking care of their children is still important. They also need to be cared for so that their future can be organized and if possible, they can avoid gambling which will hinder his future.
In my opinion, those who bear full responsibility are the parents of each young generation. If parents provide education about the bad things about gambling and advise them well, then the younger generation can understand and comprehend these bad thing.

I won't deny what you said in the thread and link you shared, it's just that if we want to, we have to look at all aspects, not just gambling. just imagine, for honorable members of my age, we are experiencing two or three different eras at once. Starting from everything being traditional, to everything being sophisticated because of technology. Here I just want to say that the current boom in entertainment and online gambling is just part of the era of technological progress.

But ok, let's talk according to the theme of this thread regarding "Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation". In principle, whether we like it or not, we will all follow the developments of the times, whatever they may be. Like it or not, we all have to follow it. If not, unfortunately for us there will be a lack of information and even knowledge. Currently, online gambling is something that is loved by almost all levels of society. whether because it is easy to access, instant entertainment and so on. however, there are various negative impacts on the development of the younger generation if they are not aware of it.

However, the point is that this era of digital technology makes everything easier for us. not just gambling, to order food, we don't need to leave the house with all the sophisticated features provided by the platforms that provide it. then what is the solution, unfortunately I am not an expert in this field. so, I am not in the capacity to comment on how it should be and the portions. what I can do is, provide education to my child according to his age, control him without feeling pressured. explain and tell, what is allowed and what is not, cause and effect. As for the teachers' duties and so on, I entrust them to them as it is the duties of teachers and schools. the rest, we as parents do our job as we should.  But it's worth remembering that understanding, insight, education must be involved.

More young people than older people bet online, which can lead to a lot of problems besides just losing money. Easy-to-reach game sites may attract teens. Problems could arise, such as not being busy enough and losing interest in schoolwork. To a large extent, this issue can be solved by showing kids what goes wrong when they gamble too much. Families can help teens understand the bad effects of bad behavior by talking to them openly about what to do and what not to do, as well as how it will hurt their personal growth and life.

What is a younger generation? Kids? Teenagers? People younger than 18-21? Why they are allowed to gamble at all? The problem than is not increase of gambling risk among youngsters, but problem is with Casinos, if they allow underaged to gamble. Technically 18-21 are still teenagers, but from law point of view they are independent person, adult, that are allowed to do everything.

Anyway, there is a problem and it must be solved. How? Get that younger generation busy, change their interest, make them replace gambling with something else that is fun, entertaining and can bring them money.

the best and easy way? limit their internet access because from that surely we will prevent them from engaging in gambling online (not unless they are free to go in local gambling places)
parents are the one to be administrative towards their children , and if the kids can hide this from them so what more in gambling sites?

In this modern world, the technology is advancing rapidly. While gambling casinos can add additional security measures, it will only do so much because teens can keep up with its pace just to satisfy their need to play and bet. Indeed, there is still no foolproof way to distinguish whether the account owner is of legal age or not because KYC can be bypassed by using identification cards of their parents or friends. They can even have a fake ID done in order to get inside a physical casino establishment, and it will be rare to be caught especially in places wherein security isn't as tight as it should be.

Which is why it's essential to teach your kids at home about how to behave and how to be responsible. The moment they become curious about gambling, it's your duty to educate them so they won't be tricked by the benefits of it, without fully knowing the possible heavy consequences waiting for them when things go wrong. Teenagers should be aware of the do's and don'ts so when the time they seek to experience gambling on their own, they will be wary of the possible impacts to their overall well-being.

About the limitation of internet access... I am not sure whether how effective that solution would be, to be honest. Nowadays, so many things which are part of the daily life of any person takes one to have a I get it connection to be done. What happened in the pandemic is a good example of it, young people who were also students were forced by their situation to learn from home, to do their homework from their homes and even to interact from there with their family members from others cities, instead visiting.
People make money wires on their phones and those who are busy enough even ask for their dinner online, how would be possible to limit the internet access of a person in such a context?  It would be very difficult and even counterproductive.
Perhaps, it would be better to teach them about gambling addiction and the risk of irresponsible gambling, instead creating a taboo out of it.

 

The rate at which younger generation are trouping into gambling is something meant to be worried about and seek for solutions to curb the situation. Gambling platforms is every were online gambling which is very accessible with anyone with an internet access, gambling centers is all over, there is no day you will not come across gambling advertisement. The younger generation with high rate of internet access, which they are easily influenced by friends, peers, school mates etc thinks gambling is fun but not. parents who  indulge in gambling should keep it away from their kids in other not to involve them because gambling is not an investment  and parents should keep family away from gambling environments and educate them the negative implications of gambling. Also Government and gambling platforms, have roles to play to assist in reducing it if they are not greedy or profitable minded alone.

I don't think it will be easy to do because we know that today's generation is very dependent on internet connections, they are even willing to ask adults for a wifi connection to check their social media or others. Limiting their internet access likely won't stop them from visiting the sites they're already used to. Maybe parents need to implement other approaches that their children can accept well so that with awareness, their children can start reducing their activities from gambling or other unnecessary things. They also don't need to check their social media accounts too often because that can make them lazy to do other things and it will make them less responsible with themselves.

Lucky for me that I have 2 teens and 2 semi adult that always in the internet but never engage in gambling(not that I know because I have logs of their internet search and there are no even one gambling site or gambling associates)
maybe I just bought them in right way , lucky that our community is not a gambling connected place  where youngsters are not getting any knowledge from gambling same as their school that is handled by priest and sisters.

This is of course quiet alarming as it raises concern about the newer generations future given the fact that most social media influencers and popular artists promote this kind of activity here in my country that may influence the mind of these youngsters. As technology advances young people can easily access through mobile devices without parents consent.

Something that needs to be addressed while you still can, like you mentioned, gambling is everywhere, both online and offline. There are influenced that can easily attract this young generation. If you happen to be a parent now, better to work this out with your children providing correct information and the right guidelines on what gambling can bring if they mismanage everything. Awareness is a good start and giving them examples will give them a clear view of how big the risk that they might suffer if they fall into this kind of vices.


Yup, they are adding it up, with how those social media influencers delivered their fake participation in every gambling casinos that they are promoting quickly gain the attentions especially of those young age who thinks that they can easily duplicate that same outcome, an easy way to earn will easily attract young people to try some luck without knowing that they can turned it into addiction, alarming as it is and needs to provide serious attentions.

We know this will happen but as a parents we should be aware that our kids could access online gambling sites if they wanted to, especially if the gambling sites does not have a strict KYC verification. We will be able to help them if we will educate them, telling them the risk of addiction as that's very important. If they really want to gamble and we allow it, at least we should not lose keeping an eye on them so we will know their behavior and we are to the rescue to help them when necessary.

Gambling is not for minors, as all gambling sites requires you need to be 18+ to be able to gamble, but like I mentioned, without a KYC, a minor could just check and agree with the terms pretending to be not minor anymore.

I have seen some people that have not allowed their children to be exposed to finance and making money, they want the children to first study and knowledgeable about what they want before they go into making money. They deny and deprive them certain access to finance until they are up to a certain age.

Gambling in early age is exposing the children to certain behaviour that their mind is not mature to carry at the time. When children gamble and win huge money they are likely to be disrespectful because even an adult who wins huge amount of money do misbehave to a certain extent because money actually have a controlling influence and if you can't control yourself you are likely to misbehave talk more of children. So life is a gradual process just like the day and night interchange theirselves when they should and it gives the earth morning and evening. There is time for everything, no need for rushing into gambling when you are not ready.

Yes that's right, the future of the younger generation is guaranteed if accessibility like this is not stopped immediately, on the other hand yes I think one of the things that must be stopped immediately is the promotion that is always carried out by influencers or content creators, because lately as we see that online gambling promotions are increasingly widespread and what is worried is when minors see promotions like this accidentally because with the development of increasingly sophisticated and modern times more people including minors who spend a lot of time playing cellphones. I think it is quite difficult for us to stop all of this and I think for this problem it should be the government directly who takes care of it with some new policies especially limiting such promotions on some social media, because it cannot be denied that it is very possible for children to gamble without the knowledge of their parents due to being influenced by some promotions that are displayed on some social media.

But also due to the support from the internet, children become smarter and more easily exposed to most of the knowledge for which they do not have the right answer, parents obviously cannot answer a child's questions and curiosities with the amount of knowledge they have, there is always a need for an internet platform that covers it better. Risk also comes with safety prevention knowledge, instead of letting the younger generation go deeper into the problem of gambling, let's talk to them about this first and give them the right perspective.

This once boomed in my country, where many platforms were blocked by the government, but it only lasted a short time. With so many young people still unemployed, it makes them think they can make money quickly through gambling, but this is wrong, I don't think it will have a big impact, because even with the government blocking it, there are still many young people who gamble, especially with the existence of online gambling. This makes it possible for all young people to do it, because it is easy to access, even with today's young generation who can't stay away from their cell phones.

I think it's clear that young people do this gambling by hiding it from their parents, because if their parents knew of course this would be a problem for them too. Actually, in my opinion, if they already have a job and also have a clear income then the gambling they do won't be a problem, even though their parents won't approve of this activity, but at least they gamble using their own hard earned money, because as far as I know there are many generations Young people nowadays gamble but don't have a job and don't have a clear income. In my opinion, the existence of online gambling has made many people access it, not only the younger generation, but also those with families and the elderly who do it.

Saving the younger generation from gambling is not only left to the parents and teachers to do alone. It is supposed to be a joint effort for every one of us to get involved by telling them the dangers of gambling at a young age when they are not established in life and have a future to build in.

By teaching the next generation about the risks associated with gambling, we are indirectly saving them. Leaving it to their parents and teachers could have little effect on the lives of the younger generation because many parents live hectic lives and are unaware of the friends and lifestyles their kids associate with.

to avoid this problem, the country must prevent this. At the state level there must be propaganda about the consequences of uncontrolled gaming, Internet providers must also block illegal resources. And of course, it is very important that this issue is also raised in the family and children need to know about this from childhood saying it is important.This will definitely help avoid consequences with gambling addiction or lost budget.

providing education to young people regarding the dangers of gambling addiction is indeed very good and all of this can be done by parents and teachers at their schools.
but the problem is that we live in an era of advanced technology, everything has become part of online, even gambling has also become a part of the development of advanced technology and it is not surprising that currently many young people are tempted and continue to gamble ignoring their health and future and the most important problem is that I I'm not sure that with this education all young people will stop gambling because they still have access to enter online gambling secretly.
for me, there are several ways that are more effective, namely trying to give freedom to hold a phone only for a certain time and always monitoring the young person's behavior, whether he is still secretly gambling online and if he is still doing it, he should be given light action or punishment to continue to apply pressure to avoid gambling.

It is true that since the development of this technology there are still many pros and cons as some people have said here. however, there is no other way than to put pressure on young people to completely abandon gambling in a stricter way.
because if not, they as young people have many ways to continue gambling secretly.

With the development of the world of technology becoming increasingly sophisticated and information systems also very fast, of course young people today and in the future will definitely be able to access this information, especially gambling sites.
Apart from the role of parents who must always monitor their children's movements in cyberspace, the role of the government is also very influential here. where the government must also be active in eradicating or restricting gambling sites and information related to gambling. If everyone can work together, young people will definitely not fall into things that are not their path.

I am always worried about my child's future because when my child is active online in front of the desktop, ads from many gambling and casino sites start coming. By seeing these ads, my children have renewed interest in these gambling and casino sites. Such gambling and casino sites are also trying to attract the younger generation by advertising on various social media. In future young generation will be interested in gambling and casino sites and they will involve themselves with these gambling and casino sites very curiously. We who are guardians will never be able to keep our children in check because they are automatically attracted by seeing thousands of such gambling and casino site advertisements from online and in this case guardians have nothing to do. Moreover, seeing the attractive advertisements of offline gambling and online gambling on street billboards and festoon banners, the young generation is getting attracted to gambling. If this continues then in the distant future the young generation will become indifferent to their careers and get involved with gambling and casino sites.

If the younger generation who are underage are using their parents identity, then this means that parents are involved in all this and they know that thier children are gambling and therefore they are responsible for any good or bad outcome.

We only blame the gambling sites as they are allowing minors to access the gambling sites but the reality is otherwise. In most cases, the parents and the family has a soft corner for their children and therefore they agree if their children asked them to allow them gambling. The pro and cons of minor gambling relies on the kids and thier parents are fully responsible for it.

I'd done enough when I was young too, we would want to have it all, the taste and experience of everything possible so I know the gist. But one thing I am happy about till today is that I did/do not go extreme in any way/anything the way others are doing. But it seems that our generation is wiser and more cultured than this, and this generation does not have much of restraints, they are being affected badly daily thinking they are the wisest, and if they are exposed to gambling, it will be an issue since they are still very young, this is in addition of living a carefree life which most of they are known for at that age.

And since they see their friends using fake IDs of their parents or uncles and others, they would want to do the same and get the taste of gambling as well. This might not be fine for most young people, but some might be delivered over time as they grow, while others will never get delivered and will continue gambling till they are old. But it is not fair to say that their parents are gambling or they know about this, some would know but most might not know. And among the ones who know, the mothers might be the most as they are the ones that always have the softest tough for their children.

If child steals their parents personal data or identity, they will never know about it and of course this is quite complicated matter.
It would be very easy for child to complete the verification by stealing his parents identity because child can even steal money from their savings balance, let alone just their identity.
Parents must really be able to supervise and also continue to pressure their children not to do bad things behind their backs and that is what they should do from the start.

We cannot say that gambling sites are at fault because they have also provided KYC requirements for every user, except for local gambling sites and new ones might also state that they do not require KYC.
And basically it is clear that KYC is completed with personal identity data, while this identity is owned when they are adults, the only thing children do is steal their parents identity.
The biggest mistake is parents who fail to educate their children and provide education or are negligent in supervising their children activities.
It is very inappropriate to blame gambling sites for cases like this because they are in business and of course they have also provided requirements such as KYC, it just that some children use their own methods to complete the requested KYC.

Laziness is becoming a problem as everything is going into digital form, the youths are lacking exercise and other social activities for gambling online but other things are getting taken off from how they use to be and now going online. Kids no longer play together as they get all the entertainment and quality time from the scream of their laptop or playstation. As parents and guidance, we need to educate our children so they know the importance of socialising.

When it comes to gambling, we should teach our kids the right way to gamble and monitor the hours they spend gambling. Gambling isn't bad but when they over gamble, it'll become a problem and since they're gambling online they'll be getting other problem that comes from using the scream of our laptop often. They won't have any social skills since they're not making friends or going to play with friends.

I agree, casino just give an offer, decision not from them. well, It's not just about casinos, gambling is now emerging in the mobile games. we can find several mobile game where the application does not provide gambling, but users can send in-game items (chips) each other , making this game used as gambling by its users. And this game does not need KYC to send chips to other users. So, if user win or get a jackpot, the user only needs to send the item to other user who wants to buy it. I believe, this kind of game also give effect makes children trapped in gambling at a young age.

It's not simple task to handle the upbringing of children, and whatever morals we use on them would matter during their youthful age. Most times during therapy, the expert would go as far as wanting to know the upbringing of the child. How he was treated as a toddler and how he responds, when given a gift. These things repeat itself while the child is growing. You'd watch or observe that a child who is hyperactive or very happy when offered a gift, when involved in gambling as a youth may be so happy when he wins a game. The joy could take the player farther to try again. Although, it's good to be responsive when winning, but with no proper control it could distract the player from focusing on his game. So, parents need to stay very observing of the reaction of their kids and know why they've chosen to behave like that.

Upbringing requires consistency, as it takes years to change a person's character. Looking at your response it shows that since the youths are strict and don't abide by the rules or advice of their parents, what would be the fate of the youths when they get to parenthood? And would they deal with their own kids? that we may not be sure of, but from the look of things it'll be a difficult task for a gambler to change his child who wants to gamble. You'd notice that in the nearest future gambling may be an overlooked habit. Which won't be bad, but there may be a high rate of addiction in that essence. Just like in the case of many other addictions where youths are involved, their kids may grow involuntarily to participate in those activities, if care is not taken.

I would agree that parents should help to find the solution with this issue, but have doubts that teachers should be involved. Teacher is the one to give knowledge, experience, skills or whatever he could, be he isnt responsible for raising children. This is parents duty, because they are responsible for the child.. There might be situation where teacher and parents have different vision, then the child will have "system crash" in his processor.

There's no way on knowing that until problems become that known or having those kind of effects on which it did become severe on where it do really ends up for you to be wary on whats happening
but if things remains silent then as a parent then you would really be that blind on what are the things which are currently been happening. If you are really that not making yourself having that
sense of responsibility towards your children on how to raise up them well but there would really be situations or conditions on which you would really be that making yourself
that would be able to miss out.We do know that things cant really be totally be blamed by those parents because there are really children that would really be going
into the other another path despite of being guided well by their parents. This is why it would really be that situational.

Risk gambling? In todays era where technology and accessibility on different things and information then there would really be those possibilities on which it could really be able to bring out
that kind of situation which we might not aware for them to be already making out some engagement.

nowadays quite a lot of young people are exposed to gambling even though they are still at school and don't have their own income. they become gamblers at such a young age because of exposure from their friends and their parents' lack of supervision over them, which makes them gamble money that they shouldn't gamble with. moreover, with increasingly easy access to online casino platforms, it has become easier for young people to access gambling platforms from their devices.

the increasing number of gamblers from the younger generation has become a problem which, if not addressed, will become quite a serious problem in the future. and therefore there is a need for strict supervision of casinos to create regulations and stricter age verification and education from parents to be able to ensure that their children are not exposed to gambling from an early age.

It is so true that if the younger generation decides to gamble, it is their mistake because they should know that gambling carries the risk of losing money. They don't need to gamble but use their time to do other useful things. I think I've seen the type of game you mean and it's true, they can send chips to other users. I've even seen some kids buying and selling those chips and if I'm not mistaken, it's on buying and selling sites out there. And it can indeed trap teenagers into getting involved in gambling at a young age, where they are very vulnerable to knowing something they don't already know. This will make them start to get to know gambling if they see gambling advertisements, and eventually, they will start gambling more often.

I think you are talking about in-game purchases or so called loot-boxes. Indeed this is a real plague. I doubt that this is a direct gambling, but it is even worse, because it isnt regulated at all. If in offline or online casinos kids can be stopped by age check or KYC, then with loot-boxes kids are one click away from spending money and getting random item in exchange for nothing. In gambling at least they can win something, with loot-boxes this is only cosmetics. Kids spin wheels, buy and open boxes, just to get "red hat that looks nice on a character". That is really awful and totally unfair.

A lot of this can be prevented by teaching them about gambling and other vices and how they eventually make the person suffer and hence right in the growing years a child can understand the good and bad and learn to avoid the latter.

Playing once a year is for fun and its not bad - losing the money might actually make that person understand the worth of that money which they could have used to buy something different. Gambling will exist in different forms because of the human nature to take risks but it is upto us how we shape our next generations to face this.

I think there is a huge market for that, and kids are purchasing those items with lots of funds. However, it's more like a way of enjoying the game, but it takes up both money and time from the kids, thereby risking his chances of getting addiction in video games. Such kids may not find it hard to become gambling addicts, since they've been practicing almost similar things in the past. Purchasing of armors and guns with real cash. The gaming world is quite evolving, and people especially growing kids need to be carefully watched. Because one they get addicted, it's almost for life. You'd watch them talk about games each day and won't leave the screen once on it. However, Video games are meant for both kids and adults, and not restricted. It's now the duty of the parents to regulate the playing process.
