Bitcoin Forum

I was thinking about my past experience with my grandmother when I was still starting in crypto industry and was getting familiar with gambling yet. Since I knew she was a gambling enthusiast (loved slot machines), I tried introducing her to virtual betting, telling it was an accessible and easy method to gamble from home with comfort and easiness.

So I opened a slots website on the laptop and told her to click the touchpad over the roll button, indicated by the arrow on the screen, to start betting. She did it for a while and had some fun when winnings were hit. In the end, I asked her what she thought about the experience and if she would replace the habit of going to physical casino by the virtual one, but she replied that it was too complicated for her to play online, and that she likes the contact with a physical environment where there are physical machines and other people to talk, so she could leave the boredom of staying alone at home to see traffic and flux of people outside the doors.

As you can see, it wasn't only about gambling, but also about interacting with other people inside a real gambling environment, besides the technological experience not being so rewardable when compared to playing at solid, palpable physical machines.

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?

Well yes, personally to my uncle. I came up with the idea 'coz our family is prohibiting him to be in contact with cigarette or smoking habits, to help him quit it, fortunately he agreed. However, it was one of his concerns on how will he be able to gamble a bit to enjoy his company or time given that in most land based casinos, many people are smoking and drinking even with the local ones. He started to ask me with alternatives since he knows that I do bet as well and that was the time I suggested engaging to online gambling. There are lots to choose from between fiat based and crypto based online gambling platforms. He started with fiat based online casinos but eventually happened to see that I'm in web 3.0 which caused him to ask me.

I opened up and upon getting the idea, he asked for guidance to move in this industry 'coz for him it would be a better idea to win in cryptocurrency due to lower fees and with the possibility of earning more profit from holding a certain coin of his choice. Well, such idea won't work to everyone else especially those who are not in this industry, but he just knows what he want from his bankroll.

Yes, i have done this with my relatives on which i do know that they are also gamblers but on going into those physical places but i have get
on that different responses;

1. They are that eager to know more, asking about the basic stuffs and other things..
2. They have already tested out but they do really make those kind of arguments that physical betting or gambling is always been best.

This is why i didnt make myself that having that longer discussion about those things on which it might be ending up with some arguementation.

I don't know how old your grandmother is but mine will not have business with modern technology. She has never been a gambler so she wouldn't also understand crypto games. I know that most old gamblers prefer physical gambling because this is what they are used to. I agree that some of them see gambling as entertainment because it is a place where they meet friends, discuss and share drinks. Most of these elderly gamblers are retirees and are always bored, so they need interaction.

They might only consider online gambling if they become ill and don't have access to physical casinos. I have not tried introducing virtual gambling to an elderly person because many of them around me are not gamblers.

I never introduce gambling to anyone because I don't want to be responsible if they start getting addicted especially to the older ones, never do that because I realize I never interact directly if I have to discuss gambling.

My assumption about your experience to the grandmother, because the grandmother is not so familiar with virtual so she thinks it's a little more complicated, I know if the age is already at the age of 60 years then it is not more mastered about virtual because it is used to physical contact to do anything including gambling too.

So for other reasons, being able to interact may also have become a comfort for the grandmother while the easy generation is more reluctant to go to a physical casino because it is unusual.

our elders don't give value to the online stuff. even introducing them to digital cash will not work for them so it's a pointless discussion. but show them the real tangible paper money and they'd even check it thoroughly if it's real or counterfeit.

my grandma doesn't go to the casinos however but she sets up a mahjong table just in the yard and asks one of her grandsons to call her friends to come so they can play. they may be able to understand online mahjong games but feeling the blocks with their fingers to identify the pieces is more real to them. it's like a card player holding the cards themselves is way real.

More than if they start getting addicted, I never introduce gambling to anyone because they may end losing money, and I only take risks with my own money. If you ever have the chance, read Dostoevsky's novel "The Gambler". Never gamble with money that isn't yours, even if you have his/her permission to do it.

The closest I've ever come to doing that is when I introduced my mother Bitcoin. She bought some sats but it didn't last for long because I convinced her to sell early. She got good profit and I wasn't willing to be the cause of an eventual loss of her.

How is that possible, I actually know about gambling from them, only they talk about conventional gambling or land-based casinos. However, when talking about online gambling, besides I know about gambling from my closest friends, social media and most of me know about online gambling from this forum.

However, I have never tried to introduce online gambling to elderly people, because most of the elderly where I live do not understand technology. And most of them still use old cellphones that can only make calls and send and receive messages. So when I try to introduce online gambling to them, it seems like this is quite a hassle and takes quite a long time. Because apart from having to teach him how to play online gambling, I also have to teach him how to operate an Android cellphone, which I think will just be a waste of my time.

I have not. I’ve thought about letting my Dad play some slots or something while we’re together, but I really can’t see that going any way but poorly, so I refrain. It isn’t that I don’t think older people are capable of responsibly gambling online. It is just that I’m not sure if people need to be introduced to things they aren’t used to that could cause them trouble.

In my area, none of the elderly I know gamble so I've never introduced them to online casinos, but in other countries it might be different.
I won't introduce gambling to anyone including close friends unless they know the risks themselves, because for me it's dangerous if they lose a lot of money just because of what I introduced them to.

The elderly nowadays are not fond of online? I think they only go online as necessary, meaning that they are outdated, so it is different from the younger generation who are now more online in any activity including gambling.

I definitely have not done it.  It’s not that I’m not interested in showing it to the elders around that are into gambling but the issues is that most of them don’t owe any smart devices and those that do have don’t know anything about internet so I believe that teaching them will be a pain in the ass for me.

Aside from the issue stated above, I also think that bringing up a topic like that will make them look are me somehow, I’m in a society where gamblers are being looked with a different way and most of the times we’re being seen as people that are living a wayward lifestyle and me bringing myself to teach them something like this would expose something I don’t want them to know about.

I have not introduced any elderly person to online gambling, but if it were that my granddad was still gambling, he is the one I'd definitely introduced to online gambling, and he probably may not like it because he is an old school who prefers to do things the old way, as he would say, "things are enjoyed better in the old ways." While gambling, he loves mostly the chitchat he normally has with his age mates, which is why pulling him off from offline gambling will also be a bit difficult. Although both offline and online gambling are fun, it doesn't really matter which one is preferred by the gambler.

Chances are close to none, unfortunately. The elders I know struggles when it comes to technology and some are even prone to scams that we don't let them do online banking -- they stick with the good old passbook only.

This is why the older generation in my fam stick with the brick and mortars because it's simple and less complicated for them. Only the millenials and gen z's in my fam have dived into online gambling -- from what I know.

The type of online gambling has the advantage that it makes it easier for everyone to access it or makes it easier for everyone who wants to gamble when they don't have much time to go to a physical casino because here you can gamble whenever and wherever you want, and if this scenario is experienced by the elderly then maybe I will look at the fitness which is where an elderly person as we know that they are not very fit which means not as fit as when they were young which means I think it is quite advisable for them to be better involved in online betting types such as slot machines because they can gamble without having to leave the house, but if the main reason is that they want to feel the atmosphere of the crowd like in a physical casino then maybe I think all the decisions are in their hands because we can't force them to get involved in online betting types although I think this is the best advice for someone who is elderly.

On the other hand I have never suggested or introduced gambling to the elderly because I always see in terms of the adverse effects that exist in gambling which is always a possibility for the elderly to end up gambling in the wrong way such as gambling to pursue victory which will actually make them down and suffer from stress due to the number of losses, so for me it is better to avoid suggesting them to get involved in gambling.

No, and never.

Never be the guy who introduces gambling to other people. I mean like trading, investment and gambling just do it with your self because some people might get financial problem from losing their asset.

So, rather than make a problem to someone else. Better to keep it on your self.

Most elderly people do not like online gambling because the social interaction factor is missing there. Yes, maybe they can take advantage of the live chat feature, but that's not what they want.
Of course, they like going to the casino and meeting different people every day and also getting to know the real faces of the people they talk to.
This is very different from young people who prefer online because it is easy to access wherever they want to play. And they are also very used to features such as live chat.
So far I have not succeeded in getting elderly people to enjoy playing online, because I can understand what they are thinking about online gambling.

Exactly...

I will not introduce gambling to anyone including the trading and investment that you mentioned, I don't want them to get into trouble just because of my invitation if they don't master it then they may lose money while I myself don't want to guide them all the time.

It is better to be silent than to introduce gambling for me this could be more dangerous if they lose a lot of money because of my own invitation.
It is enough that we ourselves gamble without involving others, so life will be more peaceful.

I've never introduced anyone to gambling and I never will. I don't want to be blamed for their loss and possible addiction. When I know that someone is gambling I'm fine with talking to them about online and crypto gambling because many people bet online, especially when football is involved, but they use fiat bookies. Crypto is much better for this and I even have a friend who hides his bets from his wife and who knew about cryptocurrencies but never used them to gamble. I keep people who gamble and people who don't separate and draw a line between the things we talk about.

You are right, the elderly ones are used to land based casino, since that is where they started gambling from. Online casinos just came out recently and they are not use to the technology behind it. Online casino gives gamblers the opportunity for them to gamble from home or anywhere that they are as long as you are with your phone, iPad or PC. It is for people that love a private life.

The elderly ones will see online gambling boring, as it wouldn't give them the chance to interact, and meet new people. Another thing is that as elderly people, it is good for them to move around and have fun, and land-based casino will give them such pleasure. I have never thought of introducing any elderly person to an online casino because they will not want to give it a try.

Some people tend to not like trying new things as it's just not what they grew up with and not what they're used to. Facebook for example, my dad is 60+ years ago and has within the last 5 years I got him on facebook. He has no clue about technology and keeps losing his password, instead of clicking forgot password and resetting his pw, he makes a new account everytime. I now have about 6 profiles of him in my friends.

Older people and gambling is likely the same way. They grew up in an era of getting out and meeting people, not like us where online is much easier.

It was not a good idea for me, I'd rather stop them rather push them into it.
If I am going to introduce online gambling, it could be those who are the same age as me. We are supposed not to do that with the elderly as we are making them more exposed to gambling rather than enjoying life. The more they spend time on gambling, the more possibility they fall into addiction which I don't want to happen. It could be better for them to stay in casinos at least, there is a gap of time in gambling, and at least they could take some break.

I'm just baffled at this .... I mean, unless the old woman needed to gamble, why would you introduce her into it?.. I haven't tried that and I think any old fellow down here would better stick to their daily routine etc..

---

if she's been feeling bored to stay all alone, I guess it'll be a great way of entertaining herself - but how much does she have to be spending some quota for fun??.. there are other things she could possibly get busy with.

I would never want to introduce gambling to anyone especially someone who is elderly because I understand the dangers involved with gambling, and how it can change the life of someone who first starts out gambling as just a way to have fun. For any habit that has the potential to make someone addicted, I'm always careful when I introduce it to someone because I would not want to see someone become addicted, depressed and even take their life because of something that I taught them or introduced them to, I would never be able to live with that guilt.

Boredom beats chronic addiction, allow people enjoy their boring lives, don't try introducing people to things that can damage their lives.

I think I have done something like this before and I can remember vividly that he was the person that actually came to me and that is my would my elder nephew, he was so inquisitive about the winning that he kept hearing about people with gambling and decided he wants to try out of which I literally warned him that the game is not always that favourable that the loses are more.

When you virtual betting, I was lost for some minutes until I read the other part where you described it to be online gambling. I thought it was that virtual kind if bet drains gamblers money before their eyes, if you are a regular sport bettor that use bookmarkers, you will understand the type of virtual I'm talking about. I once recommend a particular betting platform for an Uber driver after he told me that he was been cheated with his games. He won with the gambling platform he was using but instead they return his money and canceled the bets. I have his number and never has he called to complain of such happening in where I recommend him.


Other than introducing them to gambling, they know some things way better than me. I engage them when we have discussion and sometimes. There are experienced they share is always adorable, share some of the mistakes they have done in the past while betting, no way of discussing with elderly people without giving you advise, it's cool when we both learned.

Not a direct introduction but in my case, it was during a drinking session and some oldies around asked me why I'm was busy with my phone. I told them I was playing slots and one of these oldies began asking further questions about that. I did some basic explanation and the rest was history. Until now that person is now hooked on playing online gambling lol.

It's not my usual practice to introduce gambling to anyone regardless of age or if they are known to be a gambler before.

Not unless they ask me some gambling-related questions, that's the only time I will share some details about gambling.

Yes, to my uncles, I know they are not to be considered elderly, but still, they like physical casinos, and they visit some places that they know and have played for years, so I tried introducing online casinos to them. When they saw me playing casino online, they got curious, so I took the opportunity to invite them to online casinos. They tried it, yes, but they missed the interaction in a physical casino. They spent time hanging out with their friends in a casino while playing and having fun, so I don't push them anymore. At least they have another option if, for instance, they really want to do gambling but for some reason they can't go, then they can still satisfy their desires of playing casino. I think it will be hard for them to just let go of what they have a fondness for; it will be a challenge or impossible for an elder to transition their wants in gaming into online casino.

I’ve tried already and it’s not easy but the good thing is he’s willing to learn because he’s into gambling as well and want’s to gamble everywhere. If you’re going to introduce online gambling to elder people make sure to have more patience with you because they can’t get it in an instant and most of the time they will still ask you, this is like teaching social media platform to the elder people.  :D

I always avoid exposing old people to gambling, this is because the tendency of older people will be to spend many hours gambling with their retirement money while they need the money to buy medicines and pay for hospital treatment, imagine what it would be like if a old person became addicted to gambling, the children of that old person would not have peace, every day they would be living in terror of persecuting their father addicted to gambling, every day they would be solving the problems that the father addicted to gambling would be causing, things like the old person playing in a casino and losing a lot and due to many consecutive losses and being very nervous the elderly person getting sick with tension problems or heart problems

As in the hospital they always ask if the patient has no relatives, so the elderly person would be forced to call their children to the hospital, this means that the children and he would not live in peace. That's why I wouldn't say anything to elderly people about games, much less about gambling. Elderly people need to rest, watch TV, read newspapers, do physical exercise, talk to friends, go for a walk, and that's what elderly people need to do. elderly people should not get involved in gambling, I have seen cases of elderly people who got involved in gambling and it didn't end well, they developed depression problems

The elders are almost loss of funds at the old age,So the gambling may not be the right choice for them at the old age.If they are gamblers at their younger age,they know some unique tactics in the game.So I will share my experience with the old age age people who play their game at the younger age.But I had never introduce the gambling to the old age people who doesn’t have any experience in the gambling site.Because the younger generations are fit for the gambling at any years,but the old people doesn’t manage funds at the old age.

I found it awkward to introduce someone to gambling if, in the first place, I knew to myself that the person was already a gambler.

Can we just allow these elderly people to do their current usual activity rather than introduce them to gambling?

They might now have graduated from doing that and just want to enjoy other things at their age. If you try to get them back again in gambling, they might end up in an unusual behavior that they can't probably control due to their current old age. It's not healthy.

I kind of tried to do that once. I was trying to explain house edge to s friend of a friend that was obsessed with scratch tickets and literally asked me for money out of the blue to buy tickets and split the profits. Saying that because he had lost on fivd tickets the next one had to be a winning one... Well though luck, the scratch he was playing only had a 55% RTP! Which is cray low!

I tried to explain to him the advantages of online crypto dice, how it is provably fair and how it can allow for custom odds being set with only a 1% house edge. This was all very nice sounding but I guess some people don't want to hear any of it. I guess if they are not receptive let them be.

Man, what a wonderful lesson you received from your grandmother.
You can clearly see that she really sees gambling as it should be: a hobby, a pastime, something fun.

This is what we have already commented on several times... nowadays people are seeing gambling as a source of income, a way to get rich easily and the casinos themselves are increasingly exploiting this desire of players. and this is wrong!!!!!!

Just like your grandmother said, it may even be fun at first because it's something new and different, but for those who see gambling as a form of entertainment and not making money, it soon becomes boring.
In my country, casinos are prohibited, but I already had the opportunity to go to a casino in Argentina... I confess that it is much better.

I introduced online gambling to my friends but never to elder people.  I do not know, I don't feel comfortable sharing gambling sites with elderly people.  I feel that if I introduce gambling sites to them, I will be responsible for their losses or if they get addicted.  I do not want to be blamed by their relatives if things get out of hand.

The possibility of elderly people getting hooked on gambling is huge since they have all the free time in the world plus they have the money from their retirement benefits and from the allowances their kids are giving them.  So as much as possible I don't want to share anything with elder people about gambling sites.

For my own experienced, I don't have any experience.  Because most of the elders I know already struggling with our technology right now, so online betting for sure is another level that they will find difficult.
Digital literacy, especially scams/hacks are really prone all over the internet now, without basic knowledge in the internet will make you prone to hacks/scams.

Yes. But never with a family member or a relative.
An elder gambler in my neighborhood was the one intrigued about online gambling because he also loves sports and whenever I talk to him I know he is knowledgeable about the sport that he loves. He even knew the draft picks which I didn't before. :D
Then I discussed with him about online sports gambling and asked if I could provide him the link. After that, we are discussing our bets online and there are times we will celebrate whenever we get a win.
Not so long ago he asked me to drink beers with him, I was surprised but then he whispered to me that he won a long parlay. He is an old man and yet he is good at analyzing games, there are times that I ask him for tips about one game that I have not analyzed yet or I don't have time to check.
It's nice to have a buddy in gambling but it's nicer if we won't cross the line borrowing money or anything. Thankfully, that has not happened yet because we are both responsible gamblers. Also, sports betting is not like an expensive game and once the game is over all we do is rest and wait for the next game to come.

I haven’t. I don’t even think I have introduced a normal person to gambling. But please when you introduce people, irrespective of if they are older or younger, warn them about the risk of gambling. Some people who are addicted to it today are regretting the day they start gambling, wishing that they never started because they almost can’t stop wasting their money. What I’m saying is that we should try to spread healthy gambling so people can live better lives.

I have not ever introduced any elder gambler into gambling online but from my experience, I think most elders prefer nostalgia over anything new. Especially technology. This goes for most elders but I admit there are some older folks out there who keep up with the times. And some who know more about new technology than young people.

I think there is some merit in nostalgia though. I would prefer playing any gambling game in an old-timey, tobacco smoke filled casino more than playing with colorful shapes on my screen.   

Sometimes elders know what they are talking about! It all comes down to preference though.

I haven't done this myself. But there were times when I and my friends would gamble online and there are some people who are much older than us who are hanging with us and who would get curious as to what we're doing. Some of them are gamblers themselves so the common interest would make us share how it is to gamble with just your phone. Although the reaction is of amazement I think none of them really became online gamblers. Some of them even find it hard to navigate their smart phones.

Yeah I quite agree with you there are also other thread that discusses the talkative dealers on the other days and my answer is I would prefer dealer that talkative with silly jokes rather than quite and yawn all the time. Because it make gamble more alive than play with a bot.

I used to have a grandfather that play offline gambling but now he don't want since many of offline gambling in my country is illegal and gambling related is prohibited so he quit do gamble.

The fact is that we can't introduce them to today's advanced technology where people can gamble via cellphone or laptop, but that doesn't mean that's a reason for the elderly to play at home instead of playing outside the house, to be honest, the people around At my house, they are elderly, sometimes they interact with their friends playing card gambling using the money because they enjoy the interaction, not just because of the gambling, let alone winning and getting money from their friends who lost at gambling.

I never thought about introducing them to the convenience of playing on laptops and cellphones because I think their world may be different from our world today, but maybe there are a small number of elderly people who want to use it, usually those people don't have the ability to walk long distances. , usually they will like using online gambling, but if they still have the ability to travel far they will definitely reject it because it is true what you said, they like the interaction of people around offline gambling or land-based casinos.  ;D

I've never done anything to an older person. because in my country gambling has a connotation of being considered a bad person. so talking about me as a gambler, I've never invited anyone else to gamble, let alone an older person, of course never. although there are many gamblers in my area, gambling in my area in my country is not legalized, so if people gamble offline, they can definitely be caught by the police.

Each person may be different when they are introduced to online gambling, some accept it and immediately use it because they think that it is easier, faster, and can be accessed anywhere. But there are also those who reject it after they are introduced to it, their reason is that it doesn't offer real games like in offline casinos and they don't get that offline casino vibe when they gamble online. So maybe it depends on the person whether they can accept online gambling or not, but from what I see, most generation X or boomers are more inclined to choose to gamble at offline casinos compared to online casinos.

I think I have shown my parents online casinos once. I think they were watching something on the internet and casinos ad popped up. They have asked what this ad is about and why offer bet refund. I quickly explained without calling for an action. That is pretty much it. They did not show much interest to placing bets, getting more money and etc. The fact of access to gambling from any place in world did not make much excitement. They just told that “now everything is in the internet” and that is it.

I haven't introduced any elder to play an online casino. But for me, I would really recommend them to virtual gaming, but we should still consider and respect individual preferences that provides their gambling experiences enjoyment and fulfillment base on their interests and comfort level.

Yes this is a clear difference between the baby boomers and the gen-z's. While the baby boomers are used to being out doors, interacting with other real humans, smelling the flowers, and feeling the wind on their face. They are in my estimation, the analog generation. In contrast to the gen-z's who do not like interacting with real people. Why do you think we have the virtual environments and all.

I stand with your grandma on this and maybe when I get old and still gamble, I would most likely switch totally to a physical casino over the online casinos.

No. I haven't. In my culture, I don't think we can do that. It is usually the other way around.

Oh yes and the my girlfriend sometimes blames me for this.

The family of my girlfriend lives in a province-like city. Technically, it's a province but with city-like structures due to the modernizations that were implemented. Naturally, the physical casinos in her city were far- it will take roughly 1-2 hours for a person to reach the nearest casino.

Fast forward, the grandmother of my girlfriend loves to gamble. During her free time, he would use her pension funds and allocate it to fund her gambling addiction. From time-to-time, her grandmother would win money and would treat everyone. But there were also some times where she would lose and ask money from my girlfriend.

One day, I went to their place and showed some videos online where you can download an application on your phone and gamble online. Long story short, I convinced her grandmother to gamble online using our famous local payment application (GCash). At the end, it is more convenient for her to gamble online but this addiction has became notoriously rampant in the past few weeks since I introduced it to her.

Exactly what the older generation care about mostly as to why they prefer physical gambling centres to online gambling platforms. With the interactions, socialization and all the fun views around the environment that they get from using physical gambling centres it will be very difficult to see older people chose online to physical gambling. With their age life is already looking bored for them and that's why whatever brings them closer to new acquaintance they won't easily replace it with anything different from it no matter how seamless with ease it could be.

Online gambling are mainly made for the younger generation and that's why you see the gambling companies spending so much money in beautifying the interface of their sites and platforms to make it look attractive because they know that the young generation are easily attracted to flashy fanciful things but this is not same with the older people as their taste differs alot naturally. It is said that the more older you become the more certain things stop getting appealing to your interest.

The online gambling have made so much gambler to become addicted the more your grandmother get familiar with the only gambling the more she becomes addicted, or draw her self closer to gamble.
Online games are better than online games for the older gamblers, when they lose they know there way home, by the time they starts getting familiar with online gamble whenever they lose they will fund another money then bet more, when hey do this repeatedly, that's what makes them get addicted.

I don't have any interaction with an elder to introduce him/her to online gambling. But I understand your grandmother because they like the old style and I agree with her that interaction with physical slots and having some other gamblers beside you is still different.

Also, these type of gamblers have been used to the environment that they've been with gambling and it may not be new to them about gambling online and that's why they prefer to do it physically.

Maybe, sometime in the future that her mind will change and will start to like it because she's old already and can't go to places and it's easier to gamble online.

I haven't for the life of me since there's not a lot of old people that I talk with and I don't go out much and my grandparents are all dead except for one so there's no way that I would be able to do that and I feel like there's not a lot of boomers or silent generation babies are going to be able to keep up with technology no matter how much we try, some of their beliefs on how things work are just not that compatible with our current technology that's why it's probably rare to see an elder gambler to consider online betting, they're just like most of us, they don't mess with things that they don't know how to use or how it works so my best bet is to leave them alone to their own devices, for them gambling is the same anyway and they would probably need that physical exertion to go to a physical gambling houses and casino so why limit them or even make them more impaired?

A person who has been going to physical casinos will never like online casinos. They go there for entertainment and not for only gambling. I understand why your grandmother did not like online slots as it doesn't give her the satisfaction. At that age, it is not that easy to understand how to access an online casino. If you do try to explain to her she would get confused that is why let her do what she wants to. By the way, I have never introduced any senior or elder to online gambling

I never introduce virtual gambling to elderly people because most of them will not understand the patterns or how to play and they find it confusing. Even though we may have taught them well and correctly, still, they will say it is difficult. Well, that is understandable. Maybe they prefer physical activities because they visit physical casinos and gamble for real. Moreover, many elderly people do not know internet technology well and will call us if something happens to those using the device. But perhaps some older people love virtual gambling as much as we do and they find it more interesting than visiting a physical casino. These people are usually able to see something new based on a different point of view so they will not easily say I can't. But they will try to understand it first until finally they really understand it.

They can understand the pattern if they try to learn how the game works but I don't recommend this to them knowing that they are prone of losing or get affected much on their activities so as much as I can I will never mention any gambling activity to elderly since I don't want them to get stress for losing their money since for sure some of them is nor earning much and I want them to use their money on more important things basic necessity that can be used everyday.

If they visit physical casino well that it is but still I will never introduce this kind of activity to them since I don't want to get blame if there's something bad will happen to them that's why I avoid much having a discussion to anyone regarding this online gambling activities since its so hard on our part if someone blame us for that reasons.

When they come to visit, my aunts and uncles sometimes get a chance to watch me play in online casinos. They appreciated watching me but every time I attempted to allow them to play, they could not play longer times. Perhaps they are bored, not like when they are in a club where they can talk and see numerous players.

Anyhow, it truly relies upon the sort of individual. There are individuals who like to be distant from everyone else and do not like noise around them. These gamers will be interested in sitting in quiet places in front of a computer or laptop.

I have never had the experience of introducing an online based gambling casino, especially those gambling applications that are in trend today. First, I avoid involving the elderly in the family in excessive use of mobile devices because it is difficult if too much usage of mobile devices can affect their health just for the sake of gambling. Second is, they might waste their time gambling even if they are just inside the house and not leaving. Even if we say that they will enjoy it if they try, maybe it would be better if I introduce them to another activity than online gambling, but as I know, I can't stop them, especially since most of the adults here at home are also immersed in social media, It is very impossible for them not to see the online casino advertisements that appear in the feed even if I block them from their accounts. Well, if they want to try and I can't stop them, maybe what I'll do is to guide them so they know the limits of using their mobile devices as well as their spending habits.

I have never introduced betting to an elderly person, moreover, I don’t quite understand why I should do this. Bringing a player into gambling already bears indirect responsibility, because we are the reason for the emergence of the game in this person’s life, provided that he is very keen.

Even if we imagine that we teach an elderly person how to gamble, what do we expect to get from this? The fact that he will then be captivated is that he will play all day long. Or in some cases, lose everything that you have accumulated throughout your life. I don’t want to seem rude, but the reaction, perseverance and calculations of strategies for the game will definitely be worse than that of a young person. I will just believe that 1 out of 10 older players will benefit from such an acquaintance and will actually use it to bet on their favorite team and get pleasure from it, without much greed.

Never...I introduced online gambling to some friends but not to elder person.
I do not introduce online gambling to random people, I introduce it to those who like to gamble only and I also introduce online gambling to those who ask my opinion.
Most elder in my area do not like to play games which are available in online gambling, most of them like to play traditional card game only which can be played against others (pvp) and it is rare to find it in online casinos.
Even if there are some casinos that provide the games, I dont think elder in my area will be interested to play.

As a rule, I don't want to introduce gambling to who I think will not a responsible, I based it on my assessment and my interaction with him much more to elderly person, so no I have not yet introduced an elder person to virtual gambling I don't want to get blamed if fever the elder person become addicted to gambling the whole family will blame me if ever the elder person become addicted I want him to enjoy his retirement age by doing what older people are doing like strolling in the park talking to their peers and enjoying retirement years.

If I get him involved in gambling, there's a possibility that he will spend more time gambling than doing what is best in his status as an elder, and we all know gambling is risky for people who have time and money many elder people have time and money coming from their pension.

Not entirely true, it's simply that the approach of older people is completely different from the current generation, they go to traditional casinos as a way to recall gambling memories and find familiarity, a game is good enough and simple enough, why does an older person need to learn things that are more complicated and don't belong to their childhood. Online betting involves too many steps and is suitable for those who know a little about computers, older people should still be encouraged to go to offline casinos, at least there are still many people paying attention and preventing them from taking big gambles

Wrong, many gamblers who previously bet and played at physical casinos now prefer online casinos and this is because of all the convenience that online casinos provide to all gamblers.
But if he is an elderly person then obviously I sure that he will never like online games like slots on gambling sites because this is new type of game.
And those elderly people who used to play in physical casinos will not have encountered slot games in their youth or while they were in physical casinos, it just that now many casinos provide slot machine game options with various types of games.
In fact, there are many special places that only provide slot games with various types of modern machines which are quite interesting.

In context like this, it is clearly challenge to teach older people to understand online casinos, they may be less likely to trust online casinos because everything works digitally.
I myself would never be able or willing to provide understanding and teach about online gambling to elderly parents.

My neighbors are older adults and generally I have talked to them about Bitcoin and they hardly thought about it, now things have been changing, I don't know if it is because of the economic situation that has made them change, when we talk about the economy we always I tell them the benefits of being in an economy where there is no inflation, but I am a person who always tells them the good things, and it is difficult for them, because they are not good at computers and that is why I don't have time to teach them, but I would teach them, So they are starting to like bitcoin, I have also told them about the casino with bitcoin and well they get scared, they say that the money goes there very quickly, and since they have played in casinos, well I tell them what the conditions are like. rules.

But the thing that seems most unsafe to them is that they have to leave their IDs at the casino, they say that they are not going to do that, and on that side it is difficult and it is not possible, that is what they don't like and I understand them.

Yes this often happens, I have done this to older gamblers and most of them refuse, for the first reason they are not used to online casinos even though it is effective and efficient, secondly we know that generation X has a technology stutter, so they prefer offline casinos to online casinos.
The majority of online gamblers are those from the millennial generation to the current generation because their lives coincide with technology and the internet so their online gambling is much closer to them than their parents or generation X births, maybe some people who have been exposed to technology when they are young, such as parents who are in the city are not so familiar with online casinos, but I am also sure they are not so comfortable with online casinos even so.

I never introduce anything risky to other people, even if that person is a gambler. I almost never introduce virtual gambling or online gambling to anyone.
reason I say this is quite clear, all gambling is very risky and I don't want to be the person who feels the most guilty if one day someone I introduce to online gambling accidentally becomes addicted.
and another reason why I will never introduce virtual gambling to elderly people is because older people have reduced eyesight, a mind that easily forgets and there is a very high risk if they deposit into the platform but enter the wrong address and end up lost his budget.

well, for me these reasons make a lot of sense because even though my fellow gamblers really don't like introducing something that has a bad impact even though our intentions are good, we also have to look at the impact in the long term.

I have not because none of my elder friends who are into physical casinos approached me to teach them how to play gambling online, and I doubt that they cannot grasp how online casinos work because many older casinos prefer physical casinos because of ambiance, I have seen a lot of elder people in casinos but they are there for the ambiance the love for quality time with peers that accompany them in physical casinos.
Whereas in online casinos they are playing alone and there's a chance that they will become more addicted and it's not good when an elderly becomes addicted.

I haven't introduced gambling to any senior citizen of my country, I know how some individual aren't so strong emotionally and they can get emotional when gambling and also the elder individuals can get emotional too quickly therefore I won't want to be the reason why an elder individual loses his life due to gambling. He might gamble with all his life savings and when he loses all the money, I'll be the one to be blamed as I was the one who introduced gambling to him.

If the elder individual wants to gamble due to not having enough fun in their life, they have to try games like bingo and not to gamble by playing sport betting that can give depression and high blood pleasure. If he wasn't having enough interactions with other individuals then I'll look for other activities that can give him that and not to introduce the elder citizen to gambling in traditional casino or online casino.

i never introduce online gambling to elder people because I feel that it would be unethical if I offered something like this even when I know that they are gamblers. Moreover, like your story, it is quite difficult for older people to accept technology and play at online casinos, such as depositing, withdrawing, or choosing the games they want to play, it seems quite difficult for them, so I am reluctant to make their lives even more difficult and I'd better just leave them like that.

In this case I am not really pointing out the benefits of online or physical gambling to recommend to someone who is elderly, and honestly I would be more inclined to express my concern for them, after all they are someone who has entered the final phase of their life and with this as you said it is an unethical idea if we advise them to get involved in gambling especially if they basically never knew about gambling at all.

Old age is a time that should be enjoyed with a lot of fun, I understand that gambling can be fun if you gamble in the right way and approach but we have to look from the other side which is that gambling is risky and anyone can never avoid the name of risk, we can see the impact of gambling that will not only make you lose money but can also make you experience a lot of pressure until finally stressed and what that means is I don't want to see them spend their lifetime with the wrong activities that have a lot of potential to eventually make them quite stressed.

Same goes for me on which i  dont really like on introducing things into others on which it doesnt matter if they are young or old, i just dont really like for me to be getting blamed
on the time that those people whom ive been telling something specially about gambling or betting do ends up on wrecking their lives just because of such recommendation.
I dont really have that kind of confidence that they would really be able to succeed out into this field. This is why it would really be that best that you should really know
on what are those things that you would really be needing to set out and whats not. Dont be give out those kind of idea specially to elderly because we know that
once they do become that addicted, then you would really be having that sense of responsibility on what happened and this is something i dont really like.

Well, there is a difference between senior gamblers who usually gamble in physical casinos and today's gamblers who are more accustomed to technological developments. as one of the examples you have said, it is not just playing that is their entertainment goal. as well as facilities, interactions and everything including physical gambling. most of them, especially the elderly, are not used to the sophisticated developments of the times. plus, they are also looking for other entertainment. So, it's only natural that there will always be a difference between physical casinos and online casinos. but for us, it is clear that online casinos are more efficient and make everything easier than physical casinos. It's just that, there are other pleasures presented between the two. So, for me both are enjoyable. However, I tend to be active online. So, the ideal choice is an online casino.

To be honest, I have no experience introducing elderly parents to online/virtual gambling. Apart from gambling for me being a personal area, usually as far as I know, elderly people are rarely interested in technology. However, how can they enjoy their old age? Perhaps, online casinos could be a means for elderly gamblers to channel their hobbies without having to travel. at least they can fill their free time, even though it's not like a physical casino. but I say again, gambling for me is a personal domain. So I rarely share it except for people who know me more closely.

I didn't know that most elderly people in a casino have some connections. Most of the elder people I see there are just staying in their machines and not doing anything. Not interacting or something. For sure your grandmother has probably developed a sense of touch with a casino and just gotten used to it that it makes leaving uncomfortable. I believe that's what happened.

I haven't had any success in introducing it to an elder person but probably not going to because if they aren't gamblers by their age at the elder level, they wouldn't probably go to do it. Maybe just for a while but not gonna stick to it. I don't have relatives who are gamblers ^{that I know of}.  ::)

This is exactly why I would be in support that older people enjoys gambling more than the youths.
The Grandma was literally chasing after fun and no making profits. At her age, she could not derive fun in gambling when she is alone. At an older age, gambling is enjoyed by interacting with the audiences and not as the youths who demands concentrative attentions before making a satisfying predictions. The company as Co. gamblers whe sees around the physical gambling places are the motivations of finding funs while gambling and that was the interests of the grandma.

I have never introduced any elder person to gambling, and I don't plan to, unless the elder person explicitly approaches me seeking guidance. I firmly believe in refraining from introducing older individuals to gambling due to the significant risks involved. Elderly individuals are more vulnerable to the detrimental effects of gambling compared to younger individuals. Many seniors may already be coping with health issues, and excessive gambling can exacerbate their conditions, potentially leading to premature death. Recognizing these dangers, I am steadfast in my commitment to never intentionally introduce an older person to gambling.

It is essential to prioritize their well-being and protect them from the potential harm and devastation that gambling can bring. Therefore, I am resolute in my stance against initiating elderly individuals into the world of gambling, understanding the profound implications it can have on their lives.

The current generation doesn’t have any peaceful communication with the old age people.Because the mindset of the old people was different from the new generation,the current youth want to enjoy their life.But the old people was like the younger generations should settle in their young age.So the young people can live the peaceful life in the old age.If the young people share about the gambling to the old people,they just remember their old memories in the gambling site.So this will trigger the mindset of the old age people into the gambling.This leads to the old age people start their gambling games because of the memories remembering by young people.

I consider anyone older than my age to be older, and I can refer to them as older people. If an older person who already has tried gambling before ask for some tips and lessons from me because they have seen that I am a better gambler, I will be willing to teach them a few things that I know,

If it is elderly people, unless i find them struggling with an online gambling application, I will not teach them gambling. Some elderly people have frail hearts, with one very big win, the excitement can fail their hearts.

I can hardly even get my friends to try and understand the advantage of online gambling in combination with using bitcoin, I can't imagine trying to teach my mom or my grandmother how to bet online.  Now they are two completely not tech-savvy people but even still.  I also feel like a lot of the older folk enjoy gambling for the atmosphere that being in person brings, just as much as the actual gambling itself.  So, not sure how many would like to adopt online vs in-person.

Introducing an elder person into gambling is something Ive never done and may possibly never do due to the fact that I don't have many elderly people around me, not mother, not father, not uncle or brother, and even aunt, I am basically a loner based on where I currently live, and I think I like it.

But even if I had elderly people around me, I possibly will bother introducing them to online gambling, first reason being that, like the story op shared, they just going to tell me that online casino are not as interesting as playing offline, since in offline casinos, one could meet friends and family, and even make new friends through connections and so on.
And second reason is that, most of our elderly people around are not well educated enough got handle the pressure of using the internet, most especially when money is Involved, they are likely fall into the hands of scammers due to their limited level of online knowledge.

So, better for them to stick with offline casinos while we who are young and educated enough stick with playing online.

Personally, I have never done this, introducing elderly people to playing online gambling. Indeed, there are many cases of elderly gamblers currently turning to online gambling, because it makes it easier for them to gamble anywhere and anytime. I believe that they were taught by young people, who of course agree with them or say they often play land gambling together. Usually elderly people will very easily accept the idea of playing online gambling, especially if they come from an environment where gambling is illegal, of course gambling online can avoid the bad stigma against them because they will no longer be caught. On the other hand, introducing online gambling to other people is actually very wrong, unless they ask for it, because basically them are a land-based gambling addict. Because after all, when they experience serious losses, of course as friends we will feel guilty for our attitude in introducing them to online gambling.

Interacting while gambling ahs been a very interesting part of gambling that you sometimes need so that you can exchange idea and improve your gambling skills well enough to make more profit and aswell have some more fun gambling too , sometimes the interactions we get to have at the physical casino is really entertaining.

But then I think recently some online casinos have begin to introduce chat boxes where gamblers could interact while gambling and I've come across a few so it's possible to have almost similar experience to that which you had at the physical casino online, there's this online casino I once visited and we were playing crash game and I saw the chat box and I saw how fellow gamblers were discussing about the crash games and how it did affected them especially some who has exhausted their funds in their wallet already.

There's a local gambling platform in my locality that's called lotto and a lot of older people are the one who patronizes it the more as the time of it's establishment can dated back in the 1970/80s. So one of my neighbor who's very experienced in online betting decided to introduce one of the men in my neighborhood who's always engaging in that gambling activity to online betting and to the my greatest surprise, the man who was introduced to online betting became very addicted to online virtual betting that he sold almost every of his belongings in the space of two weeks of being introduced to online betting. It was after that sad and regrettable event that I decided not to introduce anyone to online betting.

I don't dare introduce virtual gambling to an elderly person, especially if he has never been exposed to gambling before. It can make him addicted to gambling, and that is not good for his health and finances. He should be able to enjoy his old days in peace, but if he is familiar with gambling, he can gamble longer, and maybe he will find the joy of playing online gambling and forget about everything. It will be more risky for him because he can spend all the money he has without remembering his limits. After all, he already feels the pleasure he gets from online gambling. But I think older people are no longer interested in today's technology because they think it is too complicated to understand, so they don't want to deal with things related to technology and tend to leave them to the younger people around them.

I have not and I don't think I would try, to be honest, the elderly here in my country are pretty much accustomed to the social aspect of gambling in person and surrounded with other people, rather than staying in front of a screen for hours and hours. Not even mention that they are more used to handling Money in the form of bills are coins instead of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
Besides of the gambling aspect of using Bitcoin or alternative currencies, there is also a social factor which would make me not to recommend any elder to get involved into Bitcoin or Alts. Because of the economical crisis here in my republic, it has become very common for people to try to find alternative sources of income for them to get by, elderly people are easier for scammers to deceive and make them participate into schemes like Ponzi's or piramids, I would only talk to my parents about this world because they are tech savvy enough and are aware of what scams are and how they usually work.

Anyways, if I started to talk about crypto casinos to some elderly here, they would probably tell me they do not understand anything and they will continue with their classic slots, lotteries and bingo.

Yes the guy I introduced is already a gambler and have played in physical casinos and he is a responsible player so I have no problem with his attitude on gambling, but I have watched and keep monitoring because playing online is very different from playing in physical casino, you'll have to be good in keyboards when playing online an so far he is doing good but I keep reminding him that to limit his time playing online as an older guy he needs to move around its not good if he stuck in a chair for a long time.

We don't want to see them lose control of themselves because they gamble excessively so we wouldn't recommend it to elderly people. It is better for them to do other things that are more useful than playing gambling, especially if there is a surprise from the gambling game in the form of a big win or loss that will shock them, and they are not ready to see it, so it will shock them. This will disrupt heart health because elderly people are vulnerable to heart health. So we should avoid introducing online gambling to elderly people.

If they gamble at a physical casino, they have to meet many people there, which can also make them unable to stand the atmosphere, which is always busy. Maybe they won't be able to concentrate on gambling so they can blame us for taking them to that place. We should not discuss gambling problems with elderly people for any reason and if they open a conversation about online gambling, we can divert it to other things.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with introducing online gambling sites to someone who is elderly as long as they are used to gambling and they are still able to spend some money to gamble, but sometimes online gambling sites make you forget yourself and the person could even become addicted because virtual gambling can It can be done anywhere at home, whether they are eating or doing other activities. So even though it makes things easier for them, they also have to be careful because when someone who is used to having fun can't control themselves.

It's different when they have to go to a physical casino, they can still stop and go home and continue the next day, whereas online gamblers can still gamble at home. After all, going to a physical casino is more fun and can interaction with lots of people, whereas when gambling at home you may get less pleasure because you feel lonely. I myself have never suggested anything to elderly people because in my area there are rarely parents who gamble.

Yeah , I use to invite my Friends Uncle into Online betting because since he is a gambler all his life then why not try to put Him into direct betting using Online in which since he is Old now and need to drive in casino each time so it is a relief to him having a gambling game inside His house.
and yes he loves it and as far as I can see , he is winning sometimes and yes losing at some point but contented to what he is doing now.
That is the same way why I wanted to introduce this gambling into people who already involved in gambling already , and my thought is clear and I don't need Him be lured and become addicted because he is an regular gambler all his life.

As long as you introduce and explain everything correctly without excluding the possible risks that can also occur when the person you recommend bets on this type of online gambling then I think it doesn't matter, because what is feared is when you explain something that tends to only lead to its advantages such as online casinos can make it easier for all gamblers to gamble anytime and anywhere because with this it is very likely that he puts aside his caution and vigilance about possible risks that cannot be completely avoided which in the end can make them stuck in the addiction zone or experience a lot of big losses. But if you recommend everything well, especially about the chances of winning and the possible risks then I think they are unlikely to suffer a significant amount of losses, especially if you always monitor their gambling activities along with always reminding them to limit their gambling activities, it's a good thing because with the convenience offered by online casinos, the risk is very likely that they plan all their time just to gamble, and this is dangerous.

Before, I never introduced gambling sites to the elderly, but now the situation is the opposite. If you want to do a survey, introduce online gambling to young people, they will choose to gamble in online casinos with the technology currently available, the elderly are already very busy. to learn to open online sites

I have never done this, because in my opinion gambling should not be introduced, in fact I do online gambling secretly, like doing it in my own room. because I think introducing elderly people to gambling is not a good thing, indeed in my environment sometimes there are elderly parents asking me about online gambling and they really like doing it, but I myself admit defeat, I don't I don't know about that, because I don't like to show off the gambling that I do.

Even though there are some people who like to brag about their gambling, that's their own right, but in my opinion, it's better not to brag about the winnings you get from gambling.
and if I introduce online gambling to elderly parents, I'm afraid that person will experience a lot of losses that could destroy his life and his family, because I think it's time for elderly people to enjoy life in a relaxed manner, like chatting a lot with friends. his friends, or doing something useful like gardening or anything that doesn't lead to big risks.

The gambler mostly not introduced to the gamblers at the old age,because they can’t understand game at the old age.If the old age gambler play the gambling the game most in the random betting.The analytical skill was very low among the old age gamblers,So I don’t do the share about the gambling to the old age people.The old people who asked themselves about the gambling games to me,I will share their some of the gambling site which personally using for the gamblers.Many old people like to entertain themselves by spend the time with their grandchildren instead of playing the gambling game at the old age.

Cognitive abilities and analytical skills can decline with age that potentially lead to less informed decision-making and increased susceptibility to gambling-related harm. Instead, prioritizing activities that promote social interaction and bonding, such as spending time with grandchildren, can be a healthier and more fulfilling way for older individuals to enjoy their leisure time. If older people express interest in gambling, they need to be provided information about responsible gambling practices and steered towards reputable resources and support services if needed.

Encouraging open discussions about the potential risks associated with gambling, particularly for older adults, can help raise awareness and promote informed decision-making. The well-being and happiness of older individuals should be the primary concern, and activities that foster positive social connections and enriching experiences should be encouraged over activities that carry potential risks, such as gambling.

Will never like? Hhmm... I don't really think so. I am sure a lot of us here do also started in offline casinos. In fact, we then stick to it because online casinos gives so much comfortability and there other perks too which can't be found in their offline counterparts. Not all offline gamblers are the same but I still believe that majority of them plays for profit.

I even know a couple of people who has this type of playstyle and their age groups are different. No matter what side you choose, what you are doing or playing is still gambling. We can't please everybody, so yeah, we can just let them whatever they like. What important is they are happy there.

Unfortunately all my gambler friends who are older than me are not into online, they want a face to face gambling, and majority of them are into cock fighting which is very popular in the Philippines. I also bet like them but I'm more focus on sports betting, particularly on NBA games and PBA (local league), so I could not force them to like what I love to bet because they are not well verse when it comes to online gambling, and even if I will teach them,   it still won't work as they are not even good on basic computer, or anything online, it's just almost impossible to teach people who have no interest.

Elder gambler as in senior citizen because it’s very hard to that because they always preferred what they use to play and changing that involves new technology will always make them back off. Old people usually don’t want to embrace new technology especially if their current gambling method is working for them perfectly.

I think the only time I saw an elder gambler that embraced online betting is during pandemic when casino is not available to play while online is the only choice for them to gamble.

Introducing gambling to anyone is bad, young or old, man or woman. Let anyone who wants to gamble learn it themselves so they can have themselves to blame, or let another person introduce it to them, so they blame another person not me tomorrow if gambling makes life harder for them. There are much better things that I can introduce someone to like crypto and trading, I am not a regular gambler, and have the ability to control my urge to gamble, instead of teaching people about gambling, I will teach other things and advice elders and the young ones to be careful with gambling because of what it can do.

Yeah, I introduced an uncle who loves to gamble but his wife and children wasn`t happy with the habit. However, he wasn`t reckless because I never heard of any act of irresponsibility from him. His family was only angry that his ego and the way people see him might be affected and so they pleaded he stop gambling. When I heard of this, I advised him to gamble online and that his gambling activities would not be open to anyone. I helped him set up the account, funded it and showed him how to navigate the website. Well, I can`t tell if he still gambles offline but he was happy learning how to gamble online.

Theologically speaking, elderly people generally don't like online gambling, because their habit of physical gambling was inherent when they were young and they weren't very good at using gadgets like they are now, in contrast to people today where almost everyone already has gadgets and is free to use them. access whatever we want, I have never offered online sites to the elderly but I already know the answer from them

I have never introduced an elder person to  online gambling. First, even though for a young person it looks like the easiest thing in the world,  it can be really challenging for someone after a certain age. If you have questions in real-life casino about anything, you'll be helped by the stuff immediately. But online it can hard for an elder person just finding the Support button. And while all of that can be finally explained, nothing can replace socializing with people around for people who fancy it.

I have not done this before but I have be sincere to you doing this makes me feel as if am introducing someone to something that might ruine him or her, another point we need to consider before introducing someone to something is that in what way will such benefit the person or will it increase the person level of gambling since no one will monitor him or here again, is gambling a career, to me I don't think so, lets think before doing things, let's not make it look like gambling is a lucrative business or career that people should build in it.

but even so, I think there are also many people who gamble even though they are old, maybe in physical casinos there are, because in my own environment there are also old people who have families too but they still gamble, and in physical casinos there may also be people who are old but they still like to gamble, because maybe their enjoyment is in gambling so they spend their old age gambling but what is clear is that parents who still like to gamble, in my opinion, have enough money and a stable income too, so they spend their old age in gambling, but even so I think this is still somewhat contrary to health.

Yes, I also don't introduce gambling to older people because I don't think it should be introduced to other people. because in old age they should do things that are useful, as you said, spending a lot of time with their grandchildren or their family, that is one of the things that is positive for old people.

For sure there are those old people who do get engaged on gambling on which this one would be neither online or offline but i do believe that in offline on which the higher the number.

We do know that when it comes to gambling interest then it would really be that definitely be that basing up into someones preference which this one wont really be that basing up on the age
on which there are ones who would really be giving out importance into the leisure seeking that they do have rather than on trying out to have some entertainment
despite of the age. Actually its not really that bad on engaging into gambling no matter what the age. The only concern on here is on how you would really be making out
such control on the time that you do gamble.

I've been saying that, since my first days in this cryptocurrency market, I always have it in my head that at no point should I talk about gambling or investments in cryptocurrencies with elderly people who depend on pensions to live, but when I see that there is a person who is talking about gambling and this person confesses that he plays and I see that it is a person who appears to be young and who has the financial means to keep playing, so at this time I can spend a few minutes talking about games of chance, but I just talk about how I play and my opinion about games, I don't talk about things like making money with gambling

I always talk about playing for fun, looking at gambling as a means of fun like going to the beach, traveling, watching football, these are things we spend money on to have fun, and it's money that doesn't come back, so that's exactly how people They should look at gambling so that they do not destroy their lives by playing. elderly people should avoid things like alcohol, they should avoid sleeping with a lot of women and they should avoid gambling a lot, because their health is very fragile and most of the time old people are not rich, they are people who live on a pension that is a small amount of money, so not money to use in games

I don't introduce gambling to anyone unless they ask me to share general knowledge for beginner gamblers, I don't want to be involved in the losses they experience on each bet and gamblers usually blame their teachers after they ask about several opportunities to win bets but they ignore the influential aspect of luck on every win from gambling. I only share basic knowledge about gambling features and then I leave all the decisions to the gambler to determine the betting amount according to the budget's capabilities.

But I applaud you for introducing gambling for fun to your grandmother, because they already have experience in gambling and they only enjoy gambling slots to fill their free time, but make sure you also control the gambling so that they don't get addicted to gambling again because they will always ask for funds to play slot gambling every day.

And i dont like on getting blamed on which on the time that you would really be telling or convincing someone to play or even just introducing it to them, then you cant be known on how they would really be ending up?
Whether they would really be that become impulsive into it or would really be that having the moderation on which it will really be that totally depending on what you are dealing with. We do know that this isnt something that gives out that kind of good feeling into someone on the time that you do see that you are the ones who do contribute into that kind of failure towards their finances just because you have introduced gambling into them.
This is one of the main reason on why i dont really like o suggesting something on someone which it isnt really just that limited on gambling but also in investments as well on which we could
potentially be having those kinds introductions but im not really that a fan on sharing up something that im dealing with and just been said that i dont like on getting blamed.

If you compare the number of parents who gamble offline or online, perhaps you can be sure of offline gambling, because I think that if they gamble offline, they can not only gamble, they can probably meet their friends there and chat about things they like. including gambling. but even so, no one can be sure with accuracy, but what is clear is that in my opinion there are some parents who still gamble offline or online, one or two, or even more, there definitely are.

that's right, it doesn't matter about age and gambling, but the problem is how close the person is to gambling, because these two things can be reversed, maybe there are young people who gamble crazy or are addicted, and there are also young people who gamble responsibly On the other hand there are parents who are crazy about gambling or are addicted, and there are also parents who gamble responsibly, but what is clear is that I don't introduce gambling to parents, even if they have a lot of money.

It does feel suck when you get blamed for something you didn't do or intended to do. I do see some people getting blamed for introducing Bitcoin even though they clearly said buying it is risky and everyone should take proper measures before trading, yet nobody seems to care. I think this is just human nature where they tend to blame others instead of themselves first. That being said, some people who aggressively encourage people to participate without any risk-reward research do exist, and I believe people like this share the blame if somebody becomes a problem gambler or gets into financial trouble due to terrible investment, etc. The key difference lies in whether they tell you the risk and how often they tell the success story of the activity they're promoting imo.

I once introduced online casinos to an elderly person, but he was confused by the display on the device I showed him, generally elderly people are blind to the technology currently available, I asked him whether you like gambling in online casinos, he answered I don't understand what what had to be done there, I explained briefly but he was still reluctant, he preferred physical gambling

Gaming yes but gambling for cash no as you say people are traditional but also superstitious when it comes to gambling especially where as a normal game has no real downside to trying it besides the normal effort to learn the rules and usage of the interface which is enough discouragement to put off many.    The one way to really appeal to someone would be via the value route perhaps if it were a better return to bet online then maybe that would then appeal but most of the time its the same company on and off line in most cases.  Crypto would be an added layer and thats unfortunately alot of effort old people arent bothering with at present, there will be some but in the majority I think BTC and other crypto has alot of potential to grow still depending on becoming increasingly easy to use.

Thanks for the interesting topic. Grandma is just used to the smells of the casino, its atmosphere and the faces of the people who work there. And you will agree that it is much more fun to throw coins into the slot machine and pull the handle than just pressing the Spin button on the computer screen. Therefore, the older generation can be understood in their desire to go to a real casino. The main thing is that the game should be just a fun hobby and nothing more.

Yes I have introduced my father to an online gambling site. My father loves to gamble especially on football games. He is an addicted Manchester United supporter and every weekend he will always play bet. I introduced him to an online site where he can be placing his bet instead of always going out. I created an account for for him and showed him how to fund it. Since then he has been playing his bet at his convince at home.

It's difficult to introduce elderly people to online gambling because they are not used to the game, but if they learn slowly they will definitely be able to do it themselves because in my opinion it depends on the person's will, if they don't want to, it means they don't like it, usually that also depends. From the person who teaches and the way it is delivered, I can teach elderly people because to convey to them you have to be calm and patient, there is no need to rush because of course their memory is not like those of us who are young, so when teaching them you have to repeat it so they remember.

I think that elderly people should not be introduced to online gambling because they have less good memory problems than young people, so on average it is difficult for elderly people to play online gambling even though there are some who have switched but in fact they are more happy with physical and offline gambling only because they enjoy the interaction of people around them compared to playing gambling which leads to privacy and being alone, it is different when young people gamble which requires privacy and is closed while elderly people are happier with gambling which interacts with people in offline gambling . so don't be surprised about that.

Everyones grandpas and grandpas are different when we talk about technologies. Some have mobile phones with buttons and ask help to use internet banks to check pension and later withdraw it from atm. Others need only few minutes to get familiar with new device, UI and OS. I think, if elders are friendly with modern technologies, then there is no use to introduce them online gambling, as they have faced it already (as ads for example). If elder are not so friendly with the internet and etc, then there is no use to even starting. I havent introduced online gambling to my elder parents, first because I am sure they know that such sites exist. Second, I am sure they will show little interest to it.

Since when is some older people starts getting interest in today's technology? How are you introducing gambling to older people when they can't even operate a Gmail account not to talk of login into a casino website? Some stories are not making sense to me on here.

I have older people but none of them care about anything technology today, they don't even want to learn how to operate a smartphone, they believe that the world is in mess today because of all these technologies.

I believe that this place is full of fake stories, how can you introduce gambling to your father? They should be the one you are going to hide your gambling activities from, they will feel unease when they know about your gambling activities, because they mostly know better, they know that you can easily lose your way, older people always stay away from gambling, it's very clear that this is what's happening.

Interestingly, elderly people are becoming more tech-savvy. Though paradoxical, hear me out. Online platforms can make hobbies and interests like gambling previously inaccessible. Administering gambling to someone unfamiliar with Gmail may seem ludicrous. Some elderly people are adaptable and interested in new experiences, but this underestimates them. Education and mentoring can change apprehension into appreciation. Choice, not digital agenda, is the goal.

Promoting joy Gamble responsibly, not undermine traditional values. Showing the elder generation that it can be controlled and enjoyed within limits might demystify it. Remember to be kind, patient, and informed.

That's only a small part of the elderly who are easy to adapt and some of them have an educated background so they are forced to be smart in controlling the technology that exists today. Can you imagine if the elderly are from a simple background who only know how to work and get money, generally the elderly will refuse and prefer traditional things

Many elderly people are no longer interested in things related to technology because they feel they are no longer able to keep up and prefer to do activities that are light and do not seem complicated to them. They will even look confused because something is happening with their device and will call someone who can help them.

But there could be elderly people who still want to learn much about today's technology and don't want to be left behind like others. They still feel like they are part of this technology, which is rapidly developing, so they are slowly learning it. However, introducing online gambling to elderly people is very risky because we don't know what could happen to them.

Moreover, they are used to their traditional life, so this is very difficult for them to forget, when they are young they already have habits like that, they find it difficult to adapt, and vice versa for us, if he teaches us in a traditional way we will definitely oppose it and feel uncomfortable with traditional methods

Actually, not at all, as they have been going early since I was a child. Second of all, given her age, I believe it makes sense that your grandmother would much rather play at a real casino. I believe that older gamblers sought social validation from their friends because they are typically more outgoing and are adjusted to modern technology, so I can understand them. Of course, the sound of the slot machines, the sight of the flashing lights, and the feel of the actual chips can all contribute to her entire experience and make it easier and more enjoyable for her to visit a physical casino.

Personally haven't but I have seen a lot of people in my neighborhood coming together to play Bingo. Quite a few of them are really old and when I asked a couple of my friends who brought them over, turns out they were the instigators of them coming along lmao.

Can definitely agree with the socializing part though. I'm mostly silent when it comes to gatherings like these but you can definitely see the older people conversing with everyone around them. Used to wonder how people could know their neighbors so much even after a few weeks, turns out they're just that friendly lol.

It was gambling,so the gamblers had the full game knowledge and the game experience.The gambler at the old age without any experience will leads to the loss in the gambling site.So the gamblers should take the responsibility in the gambling site,So the gamblers should share the old people with the experience.Sharing to the gamblers who don’t have experience at the old age will leads to the big loss in the old age.Money was the hardest part for the gamblers at the old ages.The gamblers should take responsibility if they are playing at the old age or the age with the younger time.

The gambler mostly share their experience to the new people in the gambling site.But the interesting part in the gambling was the gambler doesn’t have any age as their retirement.They will play the game at the old ages,we don’t know the gamblers with the experience at the youngest age will share to the old people.But the gamblers who was not new to the gambling site at the old age will share their experience to their old age friends.

Because of the old age gambler references,many old age gamblers will continue their game in the gambling site after the long gap in the gambling site.The gamblers who play the gambling at the old age will play the gambling only for the entertainment compared to the money making idea.

You cant say that everyone wont really be having the money specially to those old people, we do know that when it comes to pension funds and retirement money then funds are there on which they could really be able to play if they want and this is something an issue on which you would really be that needing to avoid on trying to hook em up on playing gambling or making those bettings.
It would really be just that right that you shouldnt really be trying out to convince them, is it something that your conscience that could swallow up if ever those old person would be losing
all of his money just because he had become that addicted to gambling? If you do and dont care then you would really be still proceeding but if you do have some care and having those
kind of advanced thinking then for sure you would really be avoiding on telling so.

You just said it exactly the way I had in mind to say it, because in most case scenario, you may be having it as a good intentions by introducing a betting platform to a gambler, but in the other way round, such individual, may not be seeing it the same way as you, hence it will be best if you could just maintain your lane, while letting other people gamble as always. But most times, the level of relationship between you too is another factor to consider,  rather than meeting a random person you do not know simply because you just want to introduce a betting platform to them .

Exactly, recommending something that has the possibility of risk should really be avoided, as you said and the point is we will never know about how they will treat their gambling activities, no matter how good you are in terms of promoting gambling to them but in the end it is possible for them to gamble impulsively, and of course it is possible for them to end up blaming us as a result of losing or bad effects that they cannot accept.

Especially if you are promoting gambling to people who have entered the elderly phase, I would not care for the idea of gambling for fun, most of them have the excuse that they want to promote something so that elderly people can spend their old age having fun in gambling, but the fact is that gambling can be a completely unpleasant activity when you gamble in the wrong way or approach, all of this has the possibility to eventually happen, and obviously one of our better decisions is "don't promote gambling to anyone".

I believe that gambling is one of the activities that one doesn't need to share with everyone and it must mostly be kept private. So I don't tell people, even those in the family, that I gamble because most people wouldn't see it being a good activity and they don't understand that there is a thing called responsible gambling where you don't spend a lot of time and money on your gambling activities but you just gamble for fun sometimes when you got both time and money to spare.

Talking about the experience and comparing online and physical gambling experiences, I agree with your grandmother that gambling online isn't as fun and thrilling as physical gambling is because when you are outside, you get to meet other people, interact with other gamblers, and have a lot of fun, while gambling online you are all alone with just your device and loneliness all around you. Some people might disagree, it's all about mindsets and perspectives.

You would really be blamed and you would really be that having that sense of responsibility if you do see someone who have lost big time on gambling just because you do make out some recommendations. This is why it would really be that best that you shouldnt really be telling something about gambling specially into those old people. They do easily believe
when there's someone who would really be telling this and like that. Easy money? If the old person does have that gambling experience then it wont be an issue but if they are
totally newbie then for sure they would really be that impulsive even if  they are already on that old age or something can be called experience.
We are not all knowing being on which there would really always those gaps.

Indeed elder people are scared of technology and everything that is «computer» related. It is true that tasks we consider as easy, for them is like science and complicated to understand. However, the best part of online gambling is that it is easy to learn. You can write casinos webpage yourself, show games, click on desired and let elder gambler do the rest - clicking on bet, wait for result and repeat.

Reading OP's post, I was really surprised to know that people actually recommend gambling to elderly people, especially elderly women. I do not see myself recommending gambling to any one whether old or young. If you are a gambler already, It's fine and you should be able to sort out your self if you need any changes in your gambling lifestyle. Gambling is one activity one must be very careful about recommending to the next person.  You might be a responsible gambler but you cannot use yourself to determine if the person you recommended gambling to will play safe.  It is better to give professional advice if you see them struggling with a gambling problem than introducing them to a new pattern of gambling.

No never, my contact with elderly people is rather limited and the few times where I meet a lot of elderly people gambling is not really a topic we talk about. Usually on the birthday of my grandmother there are quite a few elderly people that show up and I need to talk to all. If them. But the conversations are very one sided, because old people love to tell their own stories and it's hard to speak about anything else than the past. The only elderly person I knew well that loved to gamble was my grandfather. He was the one that introduced me to gambling and if he still was alive today I would introduce him to online gambling. He loved to play cards, machines, even roulette and for someone that struggles to walk a lot online gambling is a nice compromise.

Successfully introduced, no. But introduced and explained well to my elder pops friend, yeah. They liked the idea but you know that there's thing that you just can't removed from them and that's what they're going to do no matter what you tell them how optimistic and happy you are doing your online gambling thing. SO, I've got the wrong audience and people but if it's about the elders, then that's what they will mostly going to say and they are not going to move forward too quick with the technology. It's like now a hobby to them and they don't mind losing sums as they know that's part of gambling.

But if ever I'll encounter another elder that I know and asks me about online gambling, I'd talk to him but I won't encourage them. I just don't want to be part of their addiction that's uncontrollable and I don't want to get blamed. It's hard to get blamed with these matters because you'll never know that they're talking to the other people and they talk about you introducing them to online gambling and then they resulted as a severe gambling addict.

Where in the world are you people living? I don't have any old man telling me that gambling is good, they all seem to hate gambling, they call gamblers names and some said it's evil, for them it's a way to manipulate you and turn you into a useless being.

Parents in my country are always ready to disown their children if they go near a casino or any gambling locations, they talk about the devil instantly once they see you in a gambling location, they force you to pray that devil will never have his way in your life.

I don't blame them much, as seeing is believing, there are so many destroyed lives now due to gambling, they do have a right reason for thinking about gambling this way, so mate, no older person here will I dare introduce to gambling, it's like tarnishing your own image.

Yes and I think this is a possibility that really has great potential to happen, although basically they have a pretty good responsibility in themselves especially in real life but I'm not sure they can be someone who is responsible  when it comes to gambling, anyone will never like the name "loss" and when they really experience a losing situation then it is very likely that they will eventually come to you to blame.

I have always avoided the idea of promoting gambling to others especially some of my friends even though they basically always force me to tell them how to gamble and how to deposit on some online casino sites, but I say that I will never tell you because after all I care about some of my friends and I am afraid that they will eventually become addicted. If the people who get promoted are basically newbies or people who never knew about the world of gambling then obviously  there is a high probability that they will be able to think that gambling is a "place to earn" and usually this assumption and mindset will come when they manage to get a win, on the other hand I think on the contrary that we should avoid gambling from the elderly because I don't want them to spend their lifetime experiencing many bad effects of gambling.

Gambling? The quagmire traps even the most responsible people in uncertainty. Not only rejecting defeat, but the appearance of control. Everyone thinks they're special until reality hits.

Your defense of friends is admirable and important. Introducing beginners is dangerous; once they think about quick money, addiction is inevitable. The initial win is a hook, a siren's call that could have catastrophic effects.

Dont even mention the elderly. They should never risk their health or legacy. Money loss isnt the only issue; emotional and psychological damage is too. "The house always wins," and in this game, the "house" is not just the casino but gambling itself, feeding on hope and leaving sorrow.

That's correct. Initially, it's best if we know the individual who we want to introduce gambling with. As for elder people they are more open-minded about these things and if they want to add more flavor to their life then they might consider it.
Just like my neighbor who likes watching basketball just like me. I only introduced him to the online gambling platform because he was the one who asked. Or, maybe I have told him one day that I am putting bets on the games which may have given him the idea to ask where I make my bets.
For me, it's cool and I know that he won't be an irresponsible gambler because I know him. Not the super risk-taker type and we are both cheap when it comes to risk.
In short, I gave him the link and he is now gambling in sports. I also told him about the VIP ranks in case he is aiming for it but I suggested that he just play at what he can afford to lose and not force it to reach a certain VIP rank just to get all those perks. He will reach that eventually but there's no rush in climbing the ladder.
I've also seen him playing chess but I don't think there's a line for that in the online gambling site that I shared with him. Now, he is having more fun and sometimes we talk about our bets.

Long before I knew about gambling, maybe they (seniors) already knew more about what gambling was. It's just that when talking about online gambling, maybe for some of them this sounds a little foreign. because they only gamble offline, either in land-based casinos or doing it with their friends. But now times have changed, and most people now gamble online. But not for the elderly who don't keep up with the times. And I personally have never introduced online gambling to the elderly, because I think they already have better life choices than gambling and have other activities that can still make them feel happy. And even though they are quite experienced in gambling and betting, in my opinion, in old age it is no longer the time for gambling.

Because they lived before us so they have more experience, including gambling, but usually it is traditional because online casinos have only appeared in recent years and are becoming increasingly popular when the world is facing a pandemic where many people have to carry out their activities in home and make the digital world massive developing.

As far as I remember, I have never or could say that I have never introduced gambling, especially online gambling, to older people because it is not an important thing to do, even without us introducing it, it could be that they already know beforehand because there are a lot of advertisements about online casinos, including when we were watching sports matches where one of the sponsors is an online casino so it is very possible that older people understand about it and do it too like young people.

Many of the elderly are no longer interested in following technological developments because, for them, technological advances are too confusing for them to be able to use them. It may take some getting used to, but it's not easy to follow because many elderly are no longer like they were when they were young. Yes, perhaps the elderly already have a better life choice than gambling because perhaps they realize that gambling carries a risk of losing money that is not small and can get bigger if they cannot control themselves. Maybe they can still take part in gambling games at physical casinos and make them still visit physical casinos and gamble there when they are free. And we should not introduce online gambling to them because not all elderly people can accept online gambling.

That's right, if an elderly person was not familiar with gambling, then of course you should not show him slots or roulette. I understand that we are all used to the kind image of a pretty grandmother sitting at a slot machine and spinning a combination. But in fact, of course, this is bad. We do not know how pensioners in old age reason, but the acquisition of gambling addiction is highly undesirable for them.

I expect a older man who is retired and rely on his pension money to live to say no to anyone that comes and tell them about gambling, if they are not into gambling at a young age they will surely say no, because they know better than anyone, and let's say the old man accept to start gambling, what you are trying to do is putting them in danger.

Old men can't be under any stress no more, they are in a stage where all they have left is a weak body that they need to keep managing, imagine they start gambling and they get addicted, all their retired money can be gone, can you live with yourself after exposing them to this?

We don't have to introduce gambling to older men, gambling wasn't hidden from them, majority of them knew what gambling is all about, if they are not doing it from a young age they won't do it when they are old, what kind of fun can they expect from gambling anyway? They lived most of their days without gambling, there must be few other things they have done to derive the fun they want.  

Yes as I said above that even though they have a fairly responsible personality in real life but honestly I really wouldn't fully believe that they could be a responsible person if they were involved in gambling activities, this is another thing that raises another speculation and I have already mentioned my disbelief when they are involved in gambling. Gambling is a place that will have a bad impact on irresponsible people and gambling can also be a trap for those who are basically responsible in real life.

All the ideas that I said before that lead to preventive measures are all none other than my own experience, before that I once asked one of my friends who had already gambled to teach me how to gamble, he asked me "are you sure you want to get involved in gambling, think carefully" and I instantly said "Yes", and after that I was really in a bad situation where I lost balance in my finances which in the end I really realized that I shouldn't have asked my friend to teach me how to gamble, Although I don't blame them but still the bad impact is really felt by me and this is the reason why I really will never promote or teach someone to gamble, it is too risky especially for beginners who are really new to this activity or the elderly who should enjoy their old age with fun that does not involve risk.

Studies have shown that older adults are particularly susceptible to gambling addiction due to factors such as increased leisure time, potential loneliness, and reduced financial security. This can lead to devastating consequences, impacting not only their own well-being but also their families and communities.

However, it is important to approach this issue with nuance. While shielding older adults from all forms of gambling might seem like a reasonable solution, it may not be the most effective or respectful approach. Many seniors enjoy participating in low-stakes games or social gambling activities as a form of leisure and social interaction. Banning all forms of gambling could unintentionally deprive them of these positive experiences.

I have never done that before. And moreover I don't have elder gambling enthusiasts in my house. and I wouldn't even try it. Reason being that an old man or woman has nothing to do with gambling at there age. What I only do is that I usually tell them to give me money to book a bet for them whenever I predict a game. so they will give me what they have. Sometimes I will win while sometimes I loose. So it's not advisable to introduce them because the older they become the higher chances of having a higher blood pressure in a slightest shock, just like a young man will play and loose a huge amount of money and becomes emotional and start panicking, so an elder who loose alot of fund while gambling might be suffering from HBP compeard to a youth.

The convenience of online gambling might not appeal to everyone. Many elderly individuals value the social interaction and community aspect of traditional gambling, finding joy in playing cards with friends or visiting local establishments. This social connection can be vital for combating loneliness and isolation, offering a sense of belonging and entertainment. However, it's important to avoid generalizations. Some elderly individuals might be tech-savvy and open to online gambling for its convenience, especially if it facilitates interaction with friends or family residing far away. Others, with limited mobility or technological skills, might prefer the familiar comfort of offline activities.

Regardless of their preferred platform, it's crucial to emphasize responsible gambling practices for all age groups. Open communication, awareness of potential risks, and setting clear boundaries are essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

This make me remember the gist and bonding we share in betting shops over here. If you need the latest information in the world of sports and even politics, I think the gambling shop is the place to be. I do not know if this will be possible to replace even though online casinos have grown so big. Every weekend is still a time to visit the physical shops for many people.

If not that people are becoming too conscious of their privacy, physical shops are actually great because they enable you know other gamblers and I know great friendships can start from there. Even me have friends that I made from gambling, it was only possible because I visited physical shops.  Like your grandma said, physical shops also help in addressing boredom, when you go out to meet and interact with other gamblers, you will not get bored.

Same experience I guess my uncle as well do some kind of gambling but it wasn't really like the casino that you think of it was just some kind of betting on some games like card games, pool, cock fighting etc. But when he did see me doing online gambling he kind get interested in it ask me about it and how it worked, but I guess it was just too complicated for him to do online gambling and probably he just preferred gambling physically and with his friends for sure. What I actually observed is old people like him and even my parents doesnt really like the internet or anything that is high tech, He always thinks that something could easily go wrong, something like depositing money, he thinks that it can be stolen easily I mean I get his point because in the news there are tons of news related to internet or online like scamming, phishing and even news about stolen banks.

At his age, I guess all he wanted was just entertainment and fun, when he won a good amount of money on his gambling he always gave me money, It is probably safe that online gambling is for sure boring compared to traditional one, which is why most of the older people would prefer it since they really wanted entertainment.

An elderly person who has never gambled should not be introduced to gambling because it is feared that they will become interested in gambling, which could result in their money being slowly used up for gambling. It would be better for an elderly person to be given activities that can fill their days well without thinking about winning and losing because they have enough to live their days. By having other activities, they will spend their time doing those things, allowing them to stay healthy and not think about winning and losing. Maybe if they get to know gambling, they will gamble more often than enjoy their old age.

You could be responsible even if you do even engage with gambling. The main issue on here is that someone do loses up their control along the process on which on the time that they would really be engaging with gambling is that they do lost off track and would really be that being impulsive along the process. This is why i dont really like myself to be that to have those kind fo introductions or recommendations on playing gambling because i dont really like for someone to mess up their lives because of me specially with those elderly.

Just let them on doing on the things that they are that tending to do so, we do have different interest in life on which it is really just that right
just leave them alone and would really be that having no recommendation on things so that there would be no regrets or conscience that would be pushing you onwards.

In my country gambling is considered a bad thing especially in the area where I live, there are no offline casinos or things to do gambling like generally in liberal countries, so I can't indicate who is a gambler who is basically a gambler in a casino.
But I do see gambling done by older people in my neighborhood, which is that they always do gambling directly without intermediaries, such as card games and soccer betting, usually they do it directly with their friends when watching together. I have suggested to them about online or virtual gambling to those who are more than 50+ years old, but they don't really respond to it and they say that they don't understand how, on the other hand they are also not very comfortable using technology by accessing it which makes them think it is complicated.

Yes, that is the case, because gambling is very likely to change a person's character and personality, as I said that my prediction could be something that is very likely to eventually happen, which is where someone who has responsibilities in his real life cannot be denied that it will be possible for them to eventually fall into the wrong approach to gambling, We must understand that gambling is an activity that can stimulate your brain and mind because there is a chance of winning there that is always difficult for most gamblers to ignore and this is what can make gamblers change over time without them realizing when they are really in a situation that makes them lose control.

To be honest, I do not discourage anyone from recommending anything to others, especially the elderly, but before that I hope you try to consider first about the negative and positive impacts that exist in something you want to recommend, if there are indeed bad effects that are far greater than the fun then obviously avoid it and look for other alternatives that do not have serious risks.

A bit, I have shown my father how to bet on his phone, but that didn't really interested him all too much. What we do not really realize is that older generation didn't gamble because they thought gambling itself was fun, they gambled because it was something to do. For them, it was like going to the movies, or a play, or a museum, or going to a place with friends basically.

This is why I feel like it is going to be something that will change a lot with generations, we do not go to movies maybe as much neither, not sure about that part, because we have netflix at home, we have a lot more stuff at home now. So all in all, I think it's clear that we are looking at things in a different manner, and we gamble for different reasons as well.

I've always said that we have different reasons for gambling and this is irrespective of our ages. However, the age would tell more on the older people because they started gambling when it was still totally offline and nothing online then. People can gamble for some reasons, but basically, it is for the fun and for the money. For those who want to gamble, their priorities between the matter and we should respect that for them. Some would want to gamble online for some reasons, while some would want to gamble offline for some reason too, and irrespective of the choice we opt for, we should ensure that we enjoy it to the fullest, even as we have the fun and try to make money from it where possible.

I love to go for offline gambling at times, though I prefer it to be on the weekends, which is either Friday night or anywhere between the afternoon and evening on Saturdays. I rarely do this because I am a very busy person, yet I must tell you that if you go to the right place, it is just like you are at a relaxation centre. You see people, you interact, you drink and all that, so it is often fun on its own. On this note, I do not think that people go for offline casinos only to play and gain but to have fun. Especially the old people like your grandmother, it is a very good idea. At that age, there are not many activities to keep her engaged and feel lively, so if she has been finding joy in gambling, why not? I know that she can behave herself towards it at that age, so there is nothing to worry about.

You are right that during the Covid pandemic yesterday, this further increased online gambling activities, so that online gambling has become so popular to this day. And talking about advertising, nowadays online gambling advertising can no longer be stopped, especially on social media, online gambling advertising is like a mushroom that is rampant everywhere. Meanwhile, in this digital era, it is impossible if someone does not know about the virtual world, except for those who are technologically illiterate, such as the elderly.


Apart from that, it may be quite difficult for elderly people to get to know online gambling, apart from being technologically illiterate, but their understanding and memory are starting to wane, so it will be quite difficult to introduce gambling to them, not to mention their poor eyesight. has started to run away and with all its shortcomings it is very worrying that later when he joins online gambling and bets in it, he will make mistakes that he does not realize, such as increasing the bet amount accidentally or something else.

Each person is unique and different and when it comes to age then we cant really say that older people are really that having that easy change of mood and personality but to expect then they would really be on this way and it is really just that right that you should really be tending to avoid those things on which we know that it would be something influencing for them to do the bad or wrong decisions. The thing i dont like
on having those recommendations is that i dont really like on getting blamed in the end and i dont really like the feeling that i have seen someone who had messed up their lives just because of the things that
you have recommended and as we do all know that even those old people are  retired and having that money that they could play with, it would never be appealing for us to see that they are losing that much.

In my story my father reaches me how to do the safe gambling at my younger age.If the old age people doesn’t involve in the gambling we can teach them gambling.But in my family my father is the gambler from his younger age.During my school days,their was huge fight between my father and mother for the gambling games.Because at the young age my father is not the responsible gambler.He had loss our property and vehicle at his younger age.But when I had started my graduation,my father became the experienced gambler.He also teach me his tactics and some basic knowledge about the gambling which I was following till now.

Do you think suggesting gambling to your uncle is the best idea just because his family wants him to stop smoking? I know there is nothing bad in gambling because I am also a gambler, but the problem is, won’t your uncle end up being addicted to gambling? In case your uncle ends up being an addicted gambler, how are you going to solve the problem? Or do you think you can easily stop him from gambling? As you have introduced your uncle to gambling, you should make sure you tell him the necessary things he should know about gambling. You shouldn’t just guide him on how to gamble, you should also tell him the risks involved in gambling, and he shouldn’t gamble for the sake of money alone.
 
If I were you, I would rather introduce people like this to cryptocurrency trading than gambling, because it will be kind of difficult to become addicted to trading, but since you already introduced him to gambling, then you have to monitor him.

As for me, I wouldn't engage in doing so, I will rather vested my efforts on the young adults whom I know will be able to afford making gambling with their whole energy and vibes, take risk and take responsibility for every of their performance, as for the adult ones, I will I stead get them a game to use and be playing instead of online gambling, how can they cope with the betting strategies and the financial demands involved, some can't even read the screen on a device because of old age, which makes it not a good idea to me.

Well, I have older friends who gamble sometimes, and I tried to introduce them to crypto in general (I tried to explain what crypto is and get them interested in it). And of course, I tried to show them crypto gambling space, I even gave some of them some coins to try different things, but I didn't have much success, they did try some sites and games, but I think they didn't understand crypto, they didn't believe that cryptocurrencies could do something more in this world so they didn't pay much attention to crypto gambling sites. But they remember me and my words whenever they hear how Bitcoin price is going up...

You gotta take into consideration that your grandma's probably known about hand-cranked slots all her life and comparing flat-virtual slots against something that you've known all your life you probably would choose the former any day too. Not to mention the fact that there's just something about personal experience beyond the phone screen that gets people going which is probably the reason why even us Gen Zs prefer real-lie experiences over virtual equivalents.

In any case, I do have a good example of someone I tried introducing into virtual gamble, which is my aunt (she's not that old but she's pushing 50 by now so still considerably older than me). She's good with cards and is used to playing Tong-its which if I'm not mistaken is a variation of the poker system, tong-its being one of the most played card games amongst card players here in the Philippines. I introduced her to virtual Chinese Poker and Tong-its games that do not ask for real-money wagers first as a means to have some family bonding along with my cousins, until she asked me if there's versions of Tong-its and Chinese Pokers that involve betting digital cash and winning it as well. I gave her good examples and taught her how to navigate through the whole ordeal and while I'm not particularly sure about her gambling disposition, I could safely say that I was able to introduce her into virtual gambling, which she says she plays when work's slow and she's bored.

I absolutely agree with you. Low stake gambling can be like a medicine for older people. A medicine that costs much less than what they are usually taking, but at the same time more effective too. I'm not going around telling older people to gamble, but I know that I don't actually need to do that. All of them know what gambling is and using it for their entertainment, and I think they are doing the right thing.

I think that people in their way of seeing things have to be very emphatic in what they want, I think that here where I live there is that type of person who already has all that free time because they are very retired and yes, they have a lot of time. free, but I consider that it is time to rest to do what they want, because they have already contributed with their work in their time, that is well deserved, therefore a mapr person who wants to have fun in any way has to do it because the bears have If they are so fair, then this makes things change in their way of being and they can focus on doing things better. I have my grandmother alive on my mother's side, but she is almost 80 years old and is very delicate, and whatever she can have fun with, I support her, and that is something one tries to do, my grandfather died this year. year, because what he liked most was drinking alcohol and he really liked baseball, and when he stopped drinking beer, because he had stomach cancer, and when everything he liked was taken away, he died.

But what does he think when he takes away something that an older adult really likes? They become depressed, they begin to feel very bad, because they become like children again, that's what happens with them, they are very delicate, they become little again, so they must treat themselves and let them do what they like, If they like the casino, no matter what, they have the right to have a good time in what they like, but as long as things are controlled, then given this, many things have to be done, first of all, control them so that it is not going to be addict, because that is bad, however I don't think so, they are people who sometimes control themselves very well and they don't like their money going away just like that, because they like to have fun, I think that's what it must be done.

The blaming nature of people is one of the biggest reasons why I don't recommend things that involve finances to people because I know that there is always a possibility of them blaming you for any loss that they have faced in the venture you have directed them towards while they wouldn't give you credit if they manage to profit from it. It's a bad thing but unfortunately, it's found in a lot of people and it makes them bad people even if they aren't generally bad.

This is why, one should never recommend gambling or cryptocurrencies or anything that might require them to use money unless they ask about them upfront, if they do ask about them themselves, that is when you can go ahead and give them some details but make sure to tell them about the risks involved.

You're right about that, for me the main thing about presenting deals that are with money is that the person asks, because as you say, one can talk about a casino, or cryptocurrency in general if the person does it on their behalf and they lose, then It is their problem and they are not going to blame those people for doing it, so what I can say about this is that every time we recommend something we have to say first of all the risks and if the person is willing to do it and to assume that That can happen and if he loses then it should be the total responsibility of the person but not the person who is receiving it, that is the main thing, now, things can manifest themselves in that way as long as the person asks.

But it is clear, I have always said, whatever dealing with money one has to be very careful , lest people think that one is going to take advantage of their money to achieve personal benefits or something like that, because money and People sometimes change with respect to friendship.

When I talk to friends, they are generally of all ages, I have older friends, but when I talk to them about casinos it is simple, they only trust casinos that are physical, and when I talk to them about bitcoin and all that, well, they are people who Sometimes they don't accept it, they say that it's a lie, that it's very dangerous, that money can't be handled like that except in real life, older people are sometimes a little stubborn, but as some people talk, they at least go. Thinking and keeping it in mind, I already consider that a prudent guy can also ask if that is viable or not, I know it because it has happened to me, but I do recommend that companies buy bitcoin, the truth is I tell you that I do not recommend it because I want them to earn money, yes, and I know it is enough for them to decide, you don't have to do much either.

And this is what i dont like and this is one of the reasons on why i dont make myself loving on making some suggestions into other people just like on what been mentioned above by other people that it would
be better that you should really be remaining still and would really be that minding your own business rather than on making yourself that too love on involving someones life or activity.
Elderly people might really be that experienced but due to lack of knowledge and their senses are becoming that dull then it cant be denied that it might be affecting their decisioning factor on some things around.
What if you have seen that old mans life wrecked by gambling just because you had made out those recommendations earlier. What you have felt?

Not many parents really gamble nowadays because gambling is dominated by young people, I myself have never introduced online gambling to someone who is elderly because it can trigger them to be curious and can cause addiction, parents sometimes don't. think too much about the risks because things seem to be a good challenge for them besides that they don't feel lonely because there are activities that can keep them busy, therefore I would rather not introduce online gambling to elderly people.

It is true that when an elderly person is susceptible to disease, especially high blood pressure and heart attacks. Gambling games can trigger this disease if parents gamble and risk all their money and lose, this is of course very life-threatening because they don't think about the risks they will face so they experience things that can cause disease to themselves.

Depends on where you live, if you live in the third wold or poor countries, any parents won't want to see one of their family become a gambler because they know they're not rich and still struggle to build wealth. Many family didn't even earn enough, that's make them live from paycheck to paycheck, so how can they have money to gamble in the first place?

If you live in first world or rich countries, you have many options because you earn enough, either you use your money for investment, entertainment, both etc.

Either you live on rich or poor country still you won't like if you see your parents especially if they are seniors to gamble. Its because as gambler itself you already know the consequences that's why you are avoiding them to gamble since you don't know on what will be the effect for them with this activity since sometimes old people don't know how to control their emotion since they might want to have fun and approach gambling in wrong way.

Its not about how you earn but rather how you try to influence your elders since if you are the reason on why they gamble and then they get broke maybe you will feel bad about what they are experiencing since for sure we would think that if we didn't teach them to gamble for sure they are more fine on other things they have done.

Not with what country you are living in I guess, but with the culture. Such as in my country that even if people are not that wealthy, older individuals are hooked up with street gambling games e.g. card games, cockfighting, toss coins, and the likes. Bets aren't that big but gambling is gambling. And if it is inteoducing online betting with them then, only a few of them would be interested 'coz majority of elders in my area aren't tech savvy. Elders' source of money are either their monthly pension or from their child who provides for them, well anyway that's none of our business.

Point here probably is whether introducing this technology to them would do good or bad to them. And if that's the case then it depends on the gambler on how he/she will use this platform. It's on them whether they would be taking advantage of the convenience online gambling will give them.

First world country people may be "rich" numerically, but the cost of living there is also high balancing out the difference in numbers. However I do agree that the chance of gambling there is much higher as compared to the rest of the world at least in brick and mortar casinos. On online casinos I have seen third world country users also in high number since they are living in cities where physical casino might face legal troubles and thus dont exist.

For this second group the chance to play in casino is like an unfulfilled dream. For the older people there the casino would be a new thing to try and thus they might want to play. But this is number is small and most of the older people in developing countries are not in a shape to sit in front on a pc or mobile and play with their money.

The elderly find it difficult to keep up with current technological developments and according to them, current technology is very advanced. Meanwhile, those who feel they have not followed technological developments from the start will not be able or have difficulty using it. And even though it has been explained many times, they probably won't understand it because they can't use it. Moreover, if we introduce online gambling, they might be even more confused about starting it. Therefore, we should not introduce online gambling to the elderly and let them do the activities they are used to.

It is absolutely right that adults can understand things easily, in the case of elderly people it is delayed in old age they are quite disabled, they will not be able to understand betting strategies easily. Knowing the basic rules will prevent damage and increase your enjoyment of the game. For example, if you introduce older people it will be very difficult for them to know when to hit stand split or double down. Adults can control everything more easily than older people.

I agree you would be doing them more harm than benefit by introducing them to gambling.I would not do it unless in a very specific case like I saw some neighbor of mine do it.He never used to introduce elderly people to gambling except one case of one such person living alone and getting quite a bunch of money every month from his sons living abroad.He used to get bored and since he started passing time with gambling we don't see him sad anymore,he even looks more vivid and enjoying life more now at his age.

The elderly people would find it hard to engage on online gambling basically and based on the complexity of most the gambling sites, an aging person rate of comprehending those stuffs would be very difficult unlike youths who had all the time to learn and understand all those casinos stuffs, to me introducing it to them is just a waste of time, I had a close contact with relative who is involved in pools gambling and zI tried to convince him to embrace the online gambling instead of their usual analysis of past pool results so as to forecast and predict their games unfortunately all my effort to convince him  proved abortive because they are used to the old style of doing their stuffs.

Gambling can create a major health risk problem. As an adult, a person will accept his excitement in gambling but when he is older, even if he has the excitement, he will not be physically fit to carry it. A person's sense of self control can deteriorate significantly as the age increasing. I would never recommend gambling to an elderly person unless he is gambling on his own.

 I saw an elderly man with a gambling addiction who sold one of his fixed assets to manage gambling. The gambler must have been over 60 years of age and loved to gamble. He enjoyed sports betting very much. He was so addicted to gambling that he gave priority to gambling over anything else and did not give much time to his wife.

Many people have requested me to account on gambling sites with the promise of gambling, but I have not given everyone an account on the gambling site, but I have definitely given an account to those for whom gambling will not have any bad effect. I've had a lot of elderly people who can't use a smartphone properly ask me to account after hearing that someone else has won some money gambling. I then knew for sure what the result would be so I kept them from accounting by telling them something different. We can easily imagine the future of gambling for people who cannot use smartphones well. But among those who understand a little and those who do not understand and will not take extra risk of money, I have given some users accounts in online gambling sites. So far I haven't heard any bad news from them after signing the account so I feel like I made the right decision.

I believe it depends on a certain person's financial status.

I would never introduce an online betting casino to someone who is struggling in his life, especially if he has a family to feed, even if he is a gambler. Introducing a new kind of betting online casino only means you are tolerating his bad habit. But, if a certain person is a professional gambler, I don't think it's a bad idea to introduce him in a new kind of betting platform, an online one.

Exactly, the idea of recommending someone to get involved in gambling is not advisable, especially if the scenario is that you are introducing gambling to the elderly, no matter what your intentions are, and more often I see that someone recommends gambling to others when they manage to win a large enough win so that they think of bragging about it to others along with recommending the gambling situation that gave them the win, And this applies to fellow gamblers or those who are completely unaware of gambling, logically everyone needs money and when you are the one who gets the recommendation then it becomes possible for you to be tempted and try it without considering first from various aspects especially the negative possibilities, and as you said that in the end it is a fact that gambling is not profitable but instead leads them to a worse situation in life.

Especially if you are recommending to the elderly, for financial problems, it may be possible to have a scenario or case like you said where the elderly live alone but have monthly remittances from their children who work, but I don't think this will be fully beneficial to make them really feel comforted, maybe this only applies in the short term, and I think it is unethical if in the end the elderly spend their old age with a lot of anxiety and pressure as a result of gambling.

You are very right, the average aging person will always choose that which they have been doing and are already used to, than the new stuffs coming out, and this is possibly due to their skepticism, lack or trust and their reduced risk intake level, as we all know that youth are better at taking risk than the older version of themselves.
Older men will hardly want to try something they are never used to, most especially things that are modern, and most especially also, when the said man is not that well educated and exposed.

This is why it's very easier to convert a young man to become an online gambler after having gambled offline for years, than trying to convince an aging man to leave their offline game to join the online gambling movement, not to talk of the fact that, their offline gambling is also one way they meet, chat and have fun with their fellow age mates.

just like you, i also won't introduce online gambling to old people because there is no benefit at all for us to make them gamble online. especially in gambling, often excessive stress or excitement can increase blood pressure which can have a bad impact on their health and can worsen their health. and the risk that they will be able to gamble every day which will increase their addiction also makes me think that introducing online gambling to older people is quite stupid.

it's better if we introduce them to better activities, for example chess or other games that can sharpen their brains. so it not only helps them to get rid of their boredom, but can also sharpen their brain.

I didn't think of introducing online crypto casinos for those of advanced age, the reason is.
* they cannot operate a laptop/android.
* Their age factor is that vision is not normal, such as children aged 20 years, maybe for those aged 40-50 it is still ok, not for those aged 70-80 years.

For the reasons above, we can understand that online gambling should not be used by those who are elderly, their understanding of technology and the internet is minimal, in essence I have never introduced online gambling to those of advanced age.

That makes sense, although as far as I know now many elderly people still use cell phones to communicate of course they will not do anything else other than to communicate with the cell phone they use. Also, even if young people or teenagers were to introduce gambling to older people, they wouldn't understand quickly and I think they would probably make negative assumptions about gambling.

It is true what you said, I myself will not introduce gambling to them, because even with me doing gambling it is secretly because I think that I win or lose with the gambling that is done, it is enough for me to know that other people don't need to know because there is no positive value if we get a win and tell other people.

You have a good understanding of the risk involved, some don't, while someone like me will also not care even though I understand the risk. I believe that as an adult if someone introduces something to me, it is my choice to accept it. So far the person did not force me to do it, then I should be able to take the responsibility of accepting it whether it is good or bad when the outcome comes out. This shouldn't be different in gambling and cryptocurrency, but what I will never do is introduce gambling to old people, I would rather introduce gambling to the young generation. Both gambling and cryptocurrencies are fun and are ways to earn income as well, it is not so inappropriate to introduce people to them, but the risk lies solely on the person that will accept it.

That's why I often tell people including those whom I introduced them that they should learn what I introduced to them very well before risking their money in them. Information is good and it will not make me evil because I shared it. It is now left for them to accept or decline.

Your point is clear here and i understand what you mean as well, however, we should also consider those who cannot make decisions on their own self, they will tend to accept anything that might comes their way either good or bad without giving a safety measures on it before acceptance, this is only about us, what of others who cant manage to be same as we can act, and the considerations here are the adults.


yes, you're right, the only differences here are the target audience, when we are dealing with young youths some approaches are better effective than when handling things with the senior citizens, for me, i don't even think i can go to that far inventing or encouraging the older one for gambling when there are younger ones enough to do so on.

In fact, if you live in a country that is not yet developed and gambling is legal in that country, we will definitely see lots of people flocking to gamble so they can multiply their money and changes the lives of those who are poor. We can see lots of people gambling, definitely in the lower middle class and In fact, countries that are not yet developed but legalize gambling actually make that country poorer because if the site is from another country it will only enrich the other country even more.

Talking about countries, I don't think this has anything to do with introducing online gambling sites to parents, even in the worst countries. If parents are already familiar with the world of gambling, then there no harm in introducing online gambling rather than having to travel far to gambling places because online gambling can also be done anywhere. But even so if these parents are our family, it would be good not to overdo it when introducing online gambling because if it is excessive it can cause addiction.

There is no doubt that the younger generation is better able to use technology than the younger generation. They are better able to understand current technology well and develop it into something useful for them. They can find more information than the older generation, especially since they are already used to using this technology, including using online casinos, which for the elderly is very difficult to use.

Elderly people have admitted that they have difficulty keeping up with technological developments. Even though there are people or younger generations who always help him, that doesn't mean elderly people are able to understand him. After all, elderly people are more comfortable using something they can actually feel and see than using something they cannot feel. So we don't need to introduce online casinos to them because of the difficulties they feel.

Even if the elderly are interested in gambling and aren't forced into it, they still wouldn't show much interest in online gambling because in their times, there used to be no online gambling or stuff like that and they used to gamble at physical gambling establishments and they are in habit of them. They wouldn't like the online gambling environment because, to be honest, physical casinos are more fun to be in because of the thrill and everything.

You get to interact with other gamblers, you meet new people, you have conversations, drinks, food, and a bunch of other stuff that makes you wanna stay longer.

We talk about online gambling being more convenient and handy, they barely care about that because it's not fun and entertaining for them.

I don't really introduce nor promote gambling to other people, except if I know that this person is responsible enough. I know several elder gamblers around me but I am reluctant to introduce them to online gambling cause I have this feeling that once they're introduced to online gambling, it could lead to spending more time and money in gambling. I have these two elder people I know who might enjoy sports betting and online casinos but I didn't share it to them. However, just recently, I found out that they already discovered online betting.

On the other hand, I introduced online sports betting to one of my relatives. I know that he can be responsible with his money and has self-management. So it was never a problem to me sharing it to him. I choose to whom I will share online gambling platforms that I know cause I don't want to be the reason a person becomes addicted to it.

One of the reasons is because obviously the younger generation was born in an era full of progress and change and one of them may be in terms of technology which is a familiar thing that now everything looks easier in any case, for example in terms of learning or looking for knowledge because you can get it just by opening a cellphone connected to the internet and looking for it on some social media or reference sources such as Google or other platforms.

On the other hand I understand that the older generation was born earlier than the younger generation but the right reason is because the older generation was born earlier before the development of technology was as good as it is now so that when modern technology appeared they were already at a fairly senile age and as we know that someone who is already at the age of 60 - 70 years and over is very difficult to learn because on the other hand they also have problems with their memory which makes it difficult for them to digest and understand something they have learned before, And this is the reason why the older generation is very difficult to keep up with technological developments that are developing very quickly, one of which is like an online gambling platform which is mostly filled with many younger generations, this is too complicated to learn for them and therefore more of them choose to gamble in physical casinos because it is easy to adapt and can find many people to enliven the atmosphere.

That is because the elder never get in touch with the online gambling so they don't have interest with online gambling. The elderly usually playing gambling in the offline casino which needs them to go to that place around their house while they are more familiar using offline casino than online casino. It is understandable for us because they lived before online gambling game popular while we lived in the midst of advanced technology so there are a differences between us and the elder. We don't have to introduce online gambling to the elderly because they will not accept the online gambling as easy as us.

For us, online casino gives an easiness to playing gambling but for elderly, they still choose offline casino because they can found something that they can touch and see and feel by their hands. They still want to have that experience while we don't need that although we still interact with many people and doing many activities with them. We only playing gambling at the casino online because we think that gives us easiness to gambling.

Younger generation have a better situation, because they lived in the advanced technology which is different from the elder, When younger generation wants to search for something they want to know, they can use internet easily and found what they want while the young generation can also learn easily from many sources available on the internet. That is why the elderly can't follow the advanced technology because they feel that the era now become faster for their ages and it is hard for them to make themselves familiar using the technology.

We must understand that older generation doesn't have the same situation as the younger generation because when the elder was a young people, the technology was not develop like today. Besides that, The elderly was busy to fills their lives by working in many works while the technology introduced and they aren't aware about that. Some elderly was late to know about the new technology around them because their busy at work and that is why many elderly can't or difficult to digest and understand the things that is new for them. And that makes the elderly feel the new technology just something that they don't understand. While many younger generations can learn many things including playing online gambling, the elderly feel that is too complicated and still prefer to gamble at the offline casino that they familiar before.

I must admit that convincing an older person to play online or virtual gambling is extremely difficult because of technological barriers. Older people are often very lazy to operate on phones or computers, not to mention having to process money transactions on the internet, most of them will be afraid from the beginning. At their period, the internet was not yet developed, everything was direct interaction between people, so that became their habit. Society has changed a lot now, many older people have also worked hard to update technology and use smartphones and computers more than before, but according to my observations, all their operations only stop at simple tasks like watching news, YouTube or playing simple games.
My family also has a lot of older people, they often have the habit of playing cards together instead of playing them through a computer screen, sometimes what they need is interaction and meeting with other players than winning and losing, which virtual gambling cannot have. I once tried to persuade my aunt to play gambling games on her phone, but she said she easily fell asleep after just 15 minutes of playing on her phone. It is difficult for them to concentrate for a long time to play on electronic devices.

I have never tried to introduce online betting or online gambling to someone who is older than me because I don't want people to know that I am gambling. You know, people tend to judge, especially the older ones, that if you are gambling, then automatically you are addicted to it and you are losing your life. I don't want to hear that, so I don't want to introduce it to some older people. Also, some of my older relatives already know about online betting, like my dad, who plays online tongits just to have fun. 

As you said, elders tend to love interaction more than gambling itself. It is how they socialize; maybe because of their age, they don't want to spend more time on the phone. They tend to spend their lives socializing and living their life.

That's the reason why most of the traditional gambling games, like cards, cockfights, slots, and many more, are played by the older generations.
 

Most eldest people are just like them and it is natural because they aren't used to it, They still want the local way of gambling which is using cards and chips. There's still a lot of eldest who is indeed a fast learner when it comes to using technologies especially mobile phones but majority didn't pursue on using it even if it is norm. It's okay if they didn't get it how to use it, at least you offer and teach them how to use and play online gambling somehow.

How can you "control" someone to prevent him/her from getting addicted to gambling? I mean, many people try that, but in reality they fail mostly when someone is inclined to be addicted. Before someone starts gambling it must be explained to him/her that gambling will not make them rich. Gambling is for entertainment only, and people must know it before depositing their money on a gambling site.

Maybe the elder generation is selecting, not lagging. Ever considered that? They witnessed revolutions most of us read about in history books as they navigated life's turbulent waters from analog to digital. Their tech use? It's discernment, not resistance

They may not be on social media or betting online, but that's a sign of knowledge. They prioritize depth above distraction. Learning is lifelong; age is just a number. The actual obstacle is mindset, not age. We should ask them how to manage this ever-changing environment without losing our essence. We're gazing in the wrong direction; they're not behind

You can offer them some fancy "crypto dice" option with cooler odds, but let's be real, sometimes people just wanna believe in their lucky stars, even when the stars are rigged. ‍Look, gambling's gambling, no matter how you slice it. Even with fancy bells and whistles, the house still has an edge. And sure, 1% might sound better than 45%, but it's still a gamble, not a guaranteed money machine.

The point is, you can't force someone to see the light, especially when they're blinded by shiny dreams of instant riches. Sometimes the best you can do is offer support, maybe point them towards some responsible gambling resources, and hope they'll listen someday. Not everyone's ready for a math lesson, even if it means saving them from losing their shirt.

And what are those "cooler odds", I'm wondering? Is it 0.5% or something? Are they much cooler? I've never seen the odds better than 0.5% HE on dice, and I can tell you that between 0.5% and 1% house edges there's no big difference. Regarding your chance of winning it's almost the same thing.


Stars can't be rigged, my friend. They are stars. If there is some precise order in this universe, it's in the stars.

Have never introduce anyone online gambling especially the older own because within my environment older people sees someone who is gambling as an irresponsible person, so as a gambler you would try your best to avoid having in contact with those sets of people to enable your head be at peace anything you come across them. Then for your granny, what she needs wasn't the game rather she loves moving out to mixed with different people and have discussion with that she is okay and she can also utilized the slot machine even though she lost it wouldn't hurt her that much rather the discussion over there made her have this homeness going out playing with physical casino. I think online casino are mainly for those who doesn't like interacting with much people around or I can say they are introvert and don't like mingling with much people around.

My grandmother used to play bingo with her friends and neighbor before, so I tried to introduced her to online bingo. Although she enjoyed it, and it was convenient, she still preferred to play the game physically with interaction with her friends. It's important to respect their preferences and not push them into something they're not comfortable with.

Pretty aware of this games on which this is really that common on Philippines with this kind of game on which you could really be able to enjoy with your friends even though it involves money or betting but at least
it is really just that something small and not something that could break their banks. Old people wouldnt be having nothing to do something and to kill up that boredom then its not bad to engage with these things
as long it would really be in moderation then it should be fine. We do know that gambling could still affect elderly or old people.

So far i havent been able to introduce someone to do gambling specially old people. Even into my grandpa's or ma's. I dont like for them to get involved with gambling and besides
there are other far more physical activities that they are really that enjoying into on which i could say that this is much more better rather than on making
themselves getting involved into something which is highly addictive.

Most elderly people prefer to do their gambling activities in physical casinos. Just like what I have experienced in the past. My auntie has been a gambler since she was 20's, when she grew older, she had a hard time going to the casino on her own since the end of the pandemic up to date. The reason is that she is too old to drive back and forth to the casino unless she can be with someone to bring her to the casino.

Because of this, I decided to introduce her to an online casino that has the game of her choice. However, to my surprise, she didn't like it and she still preferred to go to the casino and wait for someone that she be with to play in a physical casino.

The reason is the same as you, my auntie still chooses to experience the feeling inside a casino. She also said that she's too old to hold a gadget and play online casinos, she feels that it is not an activity fit for her age.

LMAO, don't mind the guy, he is trying to finetune the whole thing, as if stars can be rigged, there are no human thats capable of doing such a thing, it's impossible.

You can mess with Motherland and she won't fight back instantly, but don't mess with the sky, like humans normally do with the lands.

Gambling is a wrong thing to play your lucky stars with, you will lose your money and probably end up counting the stars in the sky, its better to learn how to be a responsible gambler rather than having some expectations.

Those who win when gambling mostly don't see it coming, because they have other reasons why they are gambling, they understood the risk.

Gambling addiction has really proven to be a global disaster, both rich and poor can't escape the effect of Gambling addiction, it also has the ability to not only affect the victim alone but also those around them, family, friends, colleagues and what have you.
Indeed proper education and awareness about the reality of Gambling could play a very vital role towards preventing or eradicating addiction.
Many people often approach gambling with the knowledge that it's a quick and easy way to multiply their fortune, just one big win would change my life kinda mindset, when in reality, the odds are stacked up against them and this is just how addiction begins.
But if people are aware that gambling should only be for fun, a way to temporarily get aware from your problem and not a way to solve your problem, If this mindset is instilled in them before they start, then they're less likely to fall into the trap of addiction.

Since you haven't introduce anyone to gambling, I'll advice you to keep it that way or there'll be someone blaming you when their bets aren't going in their favour. I hate introducing an individual to something that can take their money as they'll always blame me when they're not winning. Gambling is an activity that you'll lose at some point therefore when someone isn't mentally ready to accept the decision that they're taking, don't tell them about gambling or you'll regret it.

Old folks will always blame you when they lose their money from gambling therefore it'll not be wise to introduce them to gambling. They're old and should be doing things that are less addictive so that they don't misuse the opportunity. Old folks can always get addicted very easily as they don't have anything to do all day but just to sit and discuss with their friends and other old folks in the elderly homes.

Yes, basically you are referring to the financial education of the people, this also has a lot to do with the style of education that the person has taken, and the great mentality about the deposits, if we can see a person who has a high financial education , they don't start having a lot of money in a casino, they don't make large deposits or anything like that, for this reason we are people who should always read, we should always base ourselves on the fact that our money should be protected and very carefully taken care of, If we decide to go to a casino, we know that most likely the money we allocate for the casino will be lost, I am aware that when people go to the casino it is because they want to increase, multiply their money, but that is something that is not so easy , things happen because basically the person who enters a casino already knows how much money they are willing to spend, and generally it is money that will not affect their expenses or anything in their daily life, something where it will not be affected .

Introducing someone to gambling can indeed lead to feelings of responsibility if things don't go well for them. We dont know his ability to handle the potential negative consequences that can have on their finances and mental well-being. Some people may not be mentally prepared to handle the ups and downs of gambling. They  that could indeed blame the person who introduced them if things don't go as planned.

Older people would have a heightened concern due to factors such as vulnerability to addiction and financial stability. It's better to prioritize activities that are less risky and more fulfilling for them, especially considering their stage in life. Encouraging healthier and less addictive activities for older adults is definitely a thoughtful approach. Gambling suits only people who have sensitivity and awareness of the potential consequences, especially the people who may not be more susceptible to its negative effects.

gambling is not something they introduce someone or teach someone to do because it is something that involved a risk neither you stay on your own without introducing the person or the person forcefully notice what is gambling and they ask you for assistance especially Direction you can have the person and the Direct the person based on he or her question towards gambling but a process nearby gambling is not what is in the person's mind and you are the one that introduce the person into gambling and they advise the person to stake his money when the person loses the person will blame you totally so when the person mean the person will also come to you and the person my brought him or her as a recommendation.

That means that someone who comes and gets involved in gambling by having a good level of awareness in him has a great chance for him not to end up as a gambler who misinterprets what gambling actually is, because usually from various cases of addiction that have occurred they come and get involved in gambling that is because they are too tempted by the name of winning opportunities, or that means they come because they hope to get money or multiply the money they bring without looking at various sides before they decide to get involved, namely looking at the risks,

Basically, the object of victory in gambling is money which everyone needs and wants money and this is clearly the reason why most gamblers are too serious in terms of responding to the opportunity to win which they think it is a quick solution to overcome financial problems in their lives, when in fact it is the opposite where gambling with the aim of earning will actually trigger more new problems, especially in terms of finance, so the point is that the opportunity to win in gambling has made most gamblers forget about the possible risks in gambling which in the end it is clear that they have experienced many adverse effects in their lives due to financial ruin because of treating gambling in the wrong way, intention and purpose.

You're right, sometimes people go to the casino or sports betting just because they have to go, whether because of advertising or something they see, sometimes it's more important if you, as someone's friend, can tell or intuit that they go to the casino. casino and this could be something that influences quite a bit, I had a friend, when I was in university, well he didn't know anything about computers or the internet, he one day told me to help him with that and I started to explain to him and he got a At the time where he was and he had such a high level that he was looking for anything on the internet and he ran away very knowledgeable. In fact, I told him that there were online casinos, but he said that he wasn't interested in that.

So what he did was take me to a bingo, which was actually a casino, and that was one of the first times I found the casino, obviously at that time I didn't have any money, just my scholarship at the university and well It wasn't much, at that time it was when I discovered a casino for the first time, I had already seen it on the internet, but I had never seen it in person.

I love gambling but I believe it would not be an ideal thing for seniors. So I have no reason to introduce to them to virtual gambling. Aside that I don’t want them to get addicted with gambling, online or offline casinos, it’s just that at their age, their health condition might only be worsen if they experience so much joy and so much madness everytime they win and lose from gambling.

Good thing I was the only gambler in the family. And even if I’m making a decent amount of income from gambling, that won’t be enough reason to convince my family members most particularly my grandparents to get started with virtual gambling.

Don't fall for lesser sector because gambling generates huge profits. Elderly people have very few knowledge in the system, don't jeopardize their golden opportunities of winning due to the heavy presence of beginner's luck. It's always important to lecture, more like giving out the necessary hints in the system, provided there are key basis of implementing strategies, most of these newbies in the system because they're desperate of making their crucial incomes ontime. They forget everything is step by step, we should always bring on the good job.

For old people then there's no other responsibilities that they would really be minding and this is why they would really be that confident on dealing up with something since they do know that they dont have any responsibilities at all specially on taking their children to school considering that they have let them finished studies already and other common family responsibilities. Now that they are on the situation where
they do get retired then it would be normal that their mind will be thinking about on having fun or having that non stressful life. Making up some recommendations about playing gambling is never been that something
ideal on which something that i wouldnt really be doing into those elderly. If they do discover gambling on their own then so be it but it wont really be that a bad idea on making
yourself that making some advise to them about gambling moderation and control on which we know that everyone do really fails on this one.

Beginners luck is not heavy, but chance of getting addicted in large. Indeed with elderly people having increased free time after retirement, eventually may fall prey of the addictive casino games. Of course they might be knowledgeable but lack of control would mean easily getting addicted or getting scammed by someone on such sites because casino chat boxes are full of scammers as well.

The best way to prevent such loss of money is to observe their online habits and keep them active offline.
