Lets take a look at the family aspect of everyone gambling and try to give our individual opinions concerning these questions i will like us to discuss from regarding how we are gambling and how that can affect the family for the benefits of those already having one and those that will soon be in the league of a family man, lets make it as simple as possible in giving our earnest contributions on our take from this following questions i have for us.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?
2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?
3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?
4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?

First of all am afraid of replying some post because moderator may move it to off topic. but I pray he doesn't. Lolz

If you ask me I will say 18 years and above. because that is the age of any body to become a full citizen of any country. By then he would have been knowledgeable to know good and bad, right and left. also have the understanding of decision making without a third party interference

Gambling does not have an actual age to quit. It is unpredictable I may say I will quit at 50years and may got disappointed along the line but I think before 55years I should have stop gambling.

Sincerly speaking gambling is a kind of game that is unpredictable. though I have not cashed out big time but have achieved the little I can with my previous winning.

I  don't think so. If i have cashed out big time I would have said so.

I would not like to see my child gambling, talk more of allowing him to gamble, because he might not be able to have self control over his gambling activities.

I cannot say when I will the quit gamble, but if I am no longer enjoying the fun in gamble, then I will quit. If I am still enjoying it even at old age, I might not quit.

Gamble can not give you any satisfaction, because you will always want to gamble often, no matter how discipline you are. You will alway lose no matter how smart you think you are. Only people that won big and invested the money would ha e achieved a satisfying level.

Not really.

1. At 18 when he has the adult right. But I will always advice him or her about how dangerous gambling can be.
2. I can not quit gambling. As long as my brain can function good, I will continue to gamble.
3.  It has bad impact on me when I was addicted. But I am no more addicted and I like to gamble.
4. Gambling is not a necessity.

Really i will not want to specify any age limits to when i introduced gambling to my kids, this is because even at 18th kids can still make alot of mistakes when it comes to gambling so it goes beyond age aspect to maturity and the rest.

Gambling for me does not have a quite limit and that is because i can still enjoy playing games even at old age or decides to quite at younger age if i discover that gambling is having negatively effect on me at any time.

Well at some point it has, I once clear some important financial obligations like paying of school fees from my gambling winnings and also getting alot of provisions whenever I win a good amount in gambling.

The thing is that, it has been hard to clearly separate the amount of loses vs the amount in winning,  because in as much as I won alot from gambling in the past, same way I lose also and that makes me not to be able to say whether or have won more or lose more but ultimately I enjoy every but of it since I don't gamble beyond how much I can afford.

1. Kids must not gamble, but once they become an adult it is up to them whether they gamble or not, and a parent cannot stop them even if they want to.
2. I do not see why a person that has their gambling under control must quit an activity they like just because they are getting older.
3. If by this you mean a win big enough to leave gambling behind, this has not happened to me.
4. Since my gambling is under control there is nothing I missed because of it.

In a nutshell, gambling is a thing of choice and something that people get to engage in due to friend influence and peer pressure. My dad and his dad were not gamblers, but how did I become one? Probably because my maternal granddad was a gambler. That's to say, the fact that I am a gambler doesn't necessarily mean that my kids will or must also become gamblers too, and even ifI get married today and start giving birth, I would not do any gambling-related activities around my kind, and they would be raised in a disciplined way where they would have to understand the age at which they are supposed to do certain things.

In the past, I gambled every day and for long hours, but this time around, other activities have become more of a priority to me because I have realized that I need to pay more attention to what can pay my bills consistently and put food on the table, and gambling is never that activity that can do that. Therefore, I have turned into an occasional gambler, and with the way I gamble now, I don't even know what age I would find it very interesting to gamble again, but I believe that as long as I keep watching sports activities, I will always continue to gamble. 

Gambling is for fun, and once a person has that urge to gamble and they do so, it will definitely satisfy them. What more do you want? Even the wining that comes with it is very satisfying all the time. Not being a gambler would make one miss out on the fun of gaming. 

1. As long as the child can earn his own money, the father will allow him to gamble as a freedom given to the child.

2. Not sure. However, the intention to stop is always there, it's just that we don't know when this will be done because until now we are still enjoying gambling.

3. The level of positive satisfaction does not exist, but I myself consider that when gambling can be disciplined and responsible, it is already a satisfaction.

4. Will not miss something even though I am not a gambler for example.

Then don't reply, unless it's compulsive behavior in your case and you feel obliged to write something.

I've noticed there was a lot of threads moved to off-topic lately, a bit like the mod woke up and decided to do some Spring cleaning :)

To answer the question, never. I'll try to discourage it at any age, but I won't be able to decide for my child after a certain age.
There's no age at which I'll accept it, but as long as it's under control and there's no borrowing money to play, I won't make a big deal out of it.

From being years in gambling industry, I never thought of quitting especially when I managed to learn how to control myself with the amount I am betting. I have experienced winning 10x of my bankroll which was my biggest so far but at least I am not in huge loss, which I am most thankful of. And if it is allowing my child or not to gamble, one thing is for sure, I won't be the one to teach them of such activity 'coz it is for them to discover and know why and what's to avoid in gambling. Teaching them would be nonsense if they are seeing you gamble. This is another reason why you shouldn't show them the things you don't want them to be curious of. If it is with the things I might have probably missed from gambling then that's saving for sure. Losing is part of the game and if you regret it then you should not continue gambling afterwards.

I don't think gambling's a good thing for kids, no matter how old they are.  But I guess when he's old enough to decide for himself and has his own money to spend, itll be his call.  I wouldn't want to bankroll his betting, that's for sure.


Probably never.


No. Don't get me wrong, a little game here and there, just for fun ain't an issue.  but if its real, sticking happiness you want, gambling likely won't cut it.


No. I can't think of anything. However, I'm not addicted to gambling.

From my observations, I think that there is always a certain stage when a gambler will reach and he will limits the way he is spending money on gambles, when you as a gambler have becomes a family man or woman you will also have a lot of things to take care of, so you won't be spending money all the time on gambles.
From what you have mentioned, I think they are things that will make you to limit your gambling habits. Allowing our children to gamble is not a normal things because as you are the leader of a home gamble is not something you should consider as fun for children even if they are up to the age of gambling, that's why many parents don't allow their children to know wether they are gambling or not so the children will not learn it from them.
Also, the age of quitting gamble is always on everyone's mind, you can try to stop gamble when you are old enough to quit it, and you shouldn't wait for your age to go high before quitting when you know you aren't gaining anything from gamble except losing.
However, the only thing one should consider as achievement in gamble is when you have win a big amount of money and you invested it on somewhere that will bring more money to your pocket, because if even when you win big money and you didn't invest it on anything, you will lose them back go the casino.
I don't think so mate, there are important things and good things one would like to own outside gambling, their are many things that can satisfy you even you want fun and many of them are not so risky as gambling.

play me start with the points... actually a normal circumstances a child is supposed to involve itself in gambling at age of 18 years to 20 years that is the normal age that is been approved by government that a child supposed to start a gambling so I believe that we supposed to not allow our children to gamble from 15 to 16 years it is totally wrong from my own understanding.

Point two... gambling is all about the determination you can only free to gamble when you know that you have not benefiting gambling and when you feel that you are age enough not to participate in gambling so gambling does not have a duration for you to quit from a gambling as a gambler.

Point three... some people does not like to state out what they have achieved in gambling but they like to bring up what they lose in gambling to the air so we have different people who testify of making money through gambling and they also gambling some people also complained of losing whatever they have through a gambling.

Point four.. that is an individual consignment because we don't know what you can miss out when you are not a gambler some people always said that since they are not a gambler there are no losing anything so based that note it is a personal testimony or being a gambler or not

Why do I have to tell my children to start gambling when they get to a particular age, no matter the age which they are, I will never ask them to gamble, when they get to a particular age, and I notice that they have started gambling, all what I will do is to tell them about gambling, they should stay away from addiction, I will tell them how gambling addiction can ruin their lives, so they should stay away from addiction.

Why do I even have to quit gamble, I gamble for fun, and when am bored, so gambling is what will always keep me busy whenever am getting old, because I will have retired from most of the things am doing, I will just be at home doing nothing.

I would like to think that I would never gamble in front of my kids.

Of course there are certain traditions that might make it permissible. For example before new year's even in Greece they say it brings good luck to do certain sinful things like play gambling card games, swear and make sexual jokes and satire. But that's only 2 hours out of a whole year or something.

So if someone has a family, it's too much of an influence to be doing something in front of your kids constantly and if we're talking about gambling, better avoid it altogether. Children need not familiarize themselves with gambling especially through their parents. If they do so on their own accord, a parent can teach them about the bad things in gambling so they are more aware, as well of the statistical impossibility to win all the time in spite of what gambling promotion might have new gamblers believing.

Some say this, when we are in a place that is not good then our children should never be involved there. I mean gambling will have bad consequences when people involved in it are unable to control it so that it will worsen financial conditions.

I never allow my children to gamble ever, but we never know how when they grow up they will be involved with gambling. At least we provide an understanding of gambling so that they have an idea of the effects of gambling.

I started gambling when I was in college, initially betting on poker, football and the lottery. Until now I have never had a big win at gambling because maybe I only gambled with a small budget, so the level of satisfaction was only limited to enjoying small wins.

Gambling is a thing of interest and if the child have interest in gambling, whatever may be they motives it still has to do with a lot of training so it better to train them and letting them know the dangers that involved in gambling, this way they will have early understanding of what they are doing and how far they intend to go about it, but if you wait for so long before you teach your kids about gambling, they may learn about if from outside and this time this learning comes with a lot of regret since such learning comes with loads of negative effects.

The age of accountability is 18 years and i believe that is the age i will allow my child his free will. If he chooses to gambling that is his choice. I only owe me some advice based on my gambling experience.

Kind of hard to answer this because i don't think i may quit gambling. Currently i don't have that in mind and if i did there is no specific age just anytime the conviction comes for me to quit i will.

Cumulatively my winnings are more compared to my losses. So sure, i think i have made some good progress in as much am a gambler i have achieved more or equal to what people who don't gamble had. It doesn't affect me anyway. OP

No i don't think say. Some goals i set for me most have been achieved and i believe more will. I don't let gambling take the best of me.

I will only answer the first question which is a categorical no,absolutely no as I know the dangers of gambling and I don't want my child to go through the pain that I have gotten when I was addicted to gambling not long ago in 2019-2020.The second question answer I am afraid that there is only one answer to this and that is every vice gets out when our spirit gets out meaning when we die,so I don't think for anyone that there is the possibility of quitting gambling forever in this life although many people may quit gambling for quite a long time I guarantee no one of them has ever achieved to quit gambling once they were deep down with it.The question 3 and 4 are not relevant to me at all.

1. You gamble everyday. Walking down the street a vehicle could crash into you, Same if driving. Severe weather may come and blow you away. Random robbery while you're out shopping or whatever. So kids are gambling from day 1 IMO.

2. People stop gambling when they die. Whatever age that may be.

3. Anytime I win more then I start with I am happy.

4. Nope

So my answers to questions 1 and 2 are obviously not what you were looking for, but true none the same.

I honestly don't want my son to get involved in gambling even though he will know the consequences but still as a father wants him to know how the risk of losing a lot of money here, maybe as much as possible will prohibit it.

Don't know when to stop, as long as it can still be controlled well and the fun is always there then gambling will never stop, but once I gamble I will never show it to my child except on this forum to continue discussing it.

The level of satisfaction gambling measures from the pleasure if this is not there then gambling will feel more bland, satisfaction is always immeasurable because when you have started to win big as satisfaction it always wants to win high again.

1. No, my child is still under 4th, not sure if he is growing until he can find and get his own job and has his own salary. but I will always advise them to use and manage his money wisely.
2. I really hope as soon as  possible
3. Not yet, just ordinary and no one has had a jackpot or super satisfying results. because it's just gambling.
4. I don't know, because the problem is I'm already here. The important thing is to stay controlled and not get addicted.

I stand on the same principle with you. None of my children would, as much as they are still under my care, be allowed to gamble. And when they come of age, I need to inform them on what gambling is and how it can affect their income. And I'll be teaching my children a lot of emotional control, decision-making practices and concepts, so that whenever they are taking a decision, they're able to x-ray it first to know the nitty-gritty of what they are going into before they begin.

Knowing fully well how addictive gambling is, I would try as much as possible not to allow them to be inclined with it. So, I would, while teaching them what gambling is, focus more on the negative aspect of it, rather than the gains that people get from it, which are like, for some people, 10% of their engagement in gambling, or even 5% for some people, or some 20% etc. I would let them know of the dangers that are in gambling, and to also inform them that they must be ready to lose unexpectedly, if they must join gambling.

1. I will not allow my child to start gambling, whether he is an adult or not because gambling can make him forget to control his emotions and control.
2. I don't know when I will stop gambling but I hope I can stop it.
3. If what you mean by the level of satisfaction here is enjoying gambling as entertainment, I think I have experienced that, and the impact is not too bad for me. I realize that gambling is just entertainment so I don't need to be too serious about gambling and just do it in moderation.
4. I don't think I would miss anything if I weren't a gambler. Besides, there are still many other activities that I can do to fill my free time.

I'd probably allow him or her to gamble once they hit legal age, which is 21. Of course, before I let them wander off, I'd like to teach them a few important lessons about gambling, and make sure that this is what they always think of before making a bet.


Probably sooner than expected. At this point in time, other hobbies have taken over my interest in gambling, and right now I'm off the grid and haven't bet on anything for more than 3 weeks. There is that thought of gambling once I got home but eh, most of the time it's just me enjoying what I do now compared to winning something in gambling.


In all honesty, I've never won anything extremely big during my time in gambling. Winning 1 btc a few years back when it's priced at $300 is something I would say as my greatest achievement in gambling. It didn't really give a good impact to me, but hey, it still made me a good memory.


Probably my interest in sports. If I weren't into gambling, I wouldn't have checked F1 a lot, peeped into baseball, or even dare watch a whole basketball match in the NBA. Apart from that is my tendency to use odds in almost every decision making that I do which actually helps to come up with a result that does not make me a loser in the end.

First and foremost, gambling is reserved for person's at the age of 18 and if the child is of this age he or she must be considered as an adult!

But for an 18year old to be gambling, as a parent you need to be worried because when did he get hooked and how are they funding their gaming account...if you can answer all this without your name fitting the equation then I wouldn't worry much but would advise the child on how to go about it responsibly and it's negative effects without sugar coating anything.

It's not about your age, things just happen AFAIK!!!


Not everyday should be a losing day, we have times when we win big and bad days when we lose hard it's just a game of luck...

Life is not about living it with regrets, we are already here and can't go back in time... otherwise I think I found myself gambling because of my love for sports otherwise if I didn't like sport maybe I wouldn't have known about gambling  :P

This is a good set of questions that it'seasy to ask but it seems difficult to answer and give an explanation. Kidding aside, Here's my answer from my own perception.

1. As an asian, Even if the kids are of legal age, I will not allow them to gamble. It is quite difficult to stop them, especially if our kids meet different people who engage in gambling. As a parent, I will not let my children grow up unaware of this matter, especially now that everyone is focused on social media and regardless of the ads that appear, I would rather be the one to explain when they are curious what is gambling, it's better that they know it from me than other people.

2. at what age? I don't know, I'm not really into gambling, I only do it when I have free time, I don't want to ruin my image as a responsible gambler.

3. Yes, that was when I won huge amount in slot games in just 2 spin, I thought I'm such a lucky person that day and It's very satisfying and one of achievments to me because in just 2 spin, I hit the large prize, I cannot explain the excitement that I felt that day.

4.Nope, because up until now I am still learning how to balance my gambling activity and my own life. I don't want to grow old with regrets.

1. As much as possible, i wont be considering on letting my children to play gambling. We do know the risks as parents.
2. I dont need to quit since im not that addicted. I can play and stop anytime i want and this do signifies that you are in control.
3. Gambling is for leisure and if you do play just for the sake of fun then there would really be moments that you do have that kind of contentment.
4. Doesnt matter, things that getting involved with would always falls down into someones interest and preference.

Each person does have their own perspectives in life and they would really be acting according into it. This is why
you cant really be able to tell on whats up into the mind of a certain person.

I will tell my child better to give attention to her study then to taste gambling. But when she become adult then she will take care of her life. If she needs my guidance then I am always there and will try to guide her from my experience.

When you see you are losing too much, no control for yourself, it's better to quit. It's not a full time job that you set a time to retire.

3. I had a big win which was wining around 1800 from 20 but in my entire life I have lost so much then the wins. The house always wins.

4. Gambling is not a necessity for your life.

Not planning to have any kids at all, but for the sake of discussion I'll humor your question and give you sensible answers:

1. Will generally not allow my kid to be a gambler, no parent (I would presume) out there would just say yes to their kid gambling even if they do ask for your permission. At the end of the day gambling's one of those things you discover by yourself, not something your parents will introduce you too. So while I'm saying I wouldn't permit them to gamble if they ask me, I'm also open to the idea of letting them gamble at least under my supervision, more specifically when they get old enough.

2. I have already quit on gambling a few times in the past and will be able to do it again without any issues, matter of fact the only reason why I really gamble is because I got nothing to do these days since I'm always working from home and everyone of my friends that I invite to go out is either busy or unavailable.

3. Wouldn't say that, I do have fun when I gamble but to say that I get a satisfying feeling which makes me think gambling's good for me is a little stupid and even more so dangerous, especially for people who have never gambled a single time in their lives. They'll go out there thinking that cause I find gambling nice, they'd find it nice too.

4. Not much as well, although I could've reinvested the  time I wasted as a gambler on a lot of self-improvement regimens like hitting the gym or socializing with people and strangers.

When the kid is old enough to work, pay his bills and live in his own apartment. If I allow an unemployed child to gamble under my roof, that's irresponsible parenting.

If you gamble for fun, entertainment, socialization, and networking, there's no reason to put an age when to quit gambling. Only poor people would gamble to make money or with the hope of hitting the jackpot at old age.

Yes. I have met friends, closed business deals, improved.my skill and knowledge about gambling. I consider these positive impacts.
No, not really.

1. Gambling in a casino is only allowed with 18 years in my country, I wouldn't try to get my kids into a casino before that. And even with 18 I would let make their own decisions but not encourage it. Before that it would only be fine to play games at home for money. Once you turn 16 I think it's fine to play poker with your friends using real money.
2. I don't really see myself quitting gambling any time soon.
3. Not sure if I understand that correctly. You mean making enough money in gambling to be satisfied? So far I didn't win big yet.
4. I had a lot of fun visiting our local casino with my friends and don't want to miss out on that experience.

1. I wont allow it because risks in gambling is so high, what if we die or not already here on this world? You wouldnt be able to guide your kids.
    This is why as early as possible then better guide them on the right path.

2. Quitting gambling could really be that only possible if you are already seeing yourself that you are addicted into it. Finding yourself that
    spending up too much with it would be the best time for you to quit.

3. Satisfaction or leisure seeking is that we are really that aiming with gambling. So its impossible that you havent been able to experience this one.
4. Gamble for fun and you wont really be having any issues with it.

There's a lot of money to make if you follow the right path. There are risks that are worth taking and in the real world, we should be capable of facing challenges and also resolving them with ease. We have the possible outcome to either relent or strive harder for good results, it's not a one day job but consistency matters here. None of my children will gamble because I'm working hard enough to give them an easygoing life. I'm here to struggle and work hard enough because there are presence of evidence for everyone.

Much better if never. If it's inevitable, I might agree at the time when they can make their own money and as long as their responsible.
Too old to see the odds and the spreads or my family won't let me use a computer anymore.  ;D
Yes. It gives me the thrills while watching sports games and I watched doctors reveal that emotional swings can be good for our health especially those who are working at home whose emotions are limited to nothing, smiling, or just stressed out mad.

Maybe. I like watching sports but there are times I get bored with it. But whenever I place a bet I always find time to watch them play and cheer for the team that I prefer and bet for.
I may have not been following the game if I stopped betting on it although I will still say I love that sport. Also, I don't like being missed out when my friends are talking about it. I feel out of place.

1. I think I'll allow my kids to gamble at 21. I know 18 is already a legal age to gamble but I want them to gamble at least a little older. But as much as possible, I do not want to tolerate or let my kids gamble in the future. They can enjoy their lives by doing other or different things.
2. I'm honestly not sure when I want to quit gambling. Quitting gambling does not have a specific age to quit. And gambling is just there, you can now even play anytime anywhere, I might go gamble whenever I feel I want to gamble or when I have free time and financially stable.
3. Every time I win big when I gamble, I always have this habit of treating myself and my family. Buy something that satisfies us, especially our tummies haha.
4. To be honest, not really.

At the age that he or she proves to me that his matured enough. I think things like this isn’t what you really get to decide even because, I don’t see myself ever getting comfortable with my child, I even wouldn’t want to hear them speak of it though, I would like to give them some advice on how to handle it but, that would be in cases of trying to get some obvious control over the industry rather than have them go headlocks with it.

At the age my sense fails me and I don’t get to find any fun in the practice or game. Even I don’t get to decide that but, my cognitive ability and sense would do the bidding.

Yeah, of course. I think the most I have archived isn’t in monetary terms, winning and all that but the fact that, am way above my emotions or urges to gamble when I wouldn’t have liked to is a taste I enjoy so well.

Definitely,
What it feels like to loosing for just no good reason, lol…! The thrills and chills it comes, all that.

Until the right age or legal age but as much as I want I dont want them to discover gambling and even do gambling, but of course qe cant control them forever it will have some point that they will make theirbown decisions, but of course if they stumble to gambling I will do my best to help them get over it.

No specific age, I think gambling to me will become part of my life, right now even I gamble, I only gamble just to have fun and I'm making sure that I have my control and disipline so I think even I get old I will still do gambling as my past time.

Yes but in the aspect of that I able to control my gambling and become more disciplined, In that way I become more satisfied and because of that I decided to not forget gambling at all, I just need to become responsible and controlled.

1. At the legal age of 18, he/she would be free to do with his/her money what he/she wanted.
2. I don't think I will ever take the decision of definitely quitting gambling. But I hardly ever gamble, so it's something that I can do for all my life without suffering any negative impact.
3. Yes, the few times I gamble I feel satisfied, so the impact has been good or, at least, not bad.
4. I would have missed the knowledge about how gambling works, which is a good think to know but not essential.

As a parent and as a gambler and knowing the consequences of bad gambling habits, obviously, you don't what your children to fall for it.


I don't see myself quitting, I mean I have gone into a stage wherein I don't see myself as a gambling addict. Yeah, sometimes I bet more than I can afford to lose but it's just for fun and I know that I will be ok.


Yeah, when I win big in a casino and at the same time having fun with families and friends playing along.


Maybe going and playing on land base casinos, still very experience and seeing some familiar faces and even strike a conversation with them.

I mean, c'mon- I would try my very best to avoid my child being exposed to gambling at a young age.

Let's not kid ourselves here- we all know the effects of gambling and on how it can be destructive to a person. If a fully adult man can experience suffering from gambling despite having the means to do so, then how can you expect children to handle it?


I think it is not about the age but the time you realize that gambling is a means to an end.

Personally, I realized that gambling was not for me in my mid 20s. When I was a young adult, I kept gambling in online websites because it felt that I had nothing to lose. More importantly, I have been using the money that my parents gave me as my means to gamble.

Once you start living for yourself and you have obligations to meet, then you will realize that you have to stop your vices on focus on building your career and family.


The positive thing that gambling taught me is that it made me realize my limits. It also taught me on self-control and meeting my responsibilities. Sure, gambling is fun when you win but once you experience a losing streak, that will definitely pull you into a rabbit hole that will slowly suck your earnings away.


Like what I answered above, gambling taught me on how to be responsible with my finances (ironically).

The best teacher will always be experience. When you start hitting rock bottom, you start to realize that the past decisions that you made. It made you to re-evaluate all the things you've done that lead you to experience this situation.

Never, I will not allow my child to gamble because I knew how devastating if you loss. However I have no control to her once she is on legal age but my stand about forbidding her to gamble is forever. It’s up to her if she will follow or not when I’m not around anymore.


Never, it’s very hard to quit once you already taste the goodness of gambling. Maybe I will stop if I’m not financially capable to spend money on gambling.


Yes, it makes my day feel complete.


I’m confused to this, if I’m not a gambler probably I will have more money so I’m not missing out if I’m not a gambler.  :D

1. I feel off kind of about this question since gambling is not a must. I even doubt if my children will be interested in gambling at all due to how I've raised them so far. I also do not let them know that aspect of me, I only watch sports in their presence. However, if they must gamble, none of them will be less than 25 years of age before they can do that to my knowledge.

2. I will not gamble forever, I've always known that, and since I am not gambling solely/desperately for the money, it will be easy for me to quit then. I don't see myself gambling after 65 years of age.

3. Well, this "satisfying level" of yours should be relative to something. If it is for the money, well, gambling has never been what I hope for a money-earning source, and if it is for the fun, yes, it has done its bit satisfactory sometimes.

4. Never! Gambling is an extra activity we do, it is not an essential aspect of life that missing it will have so much missed value.

1. I’m all for waiting until they’re adults. More than anything, it’s about ensuring they understand the value of money and the importance of responsible decision-making. It’s a great opportunity for a valuable life lesson when the time is right.


 2. When it comes to the idea of stopping gambling, I’d say it’s about balance. If there ever comes a time when it feels like it’s overshadowing the more important parts of life, like family time or personal goals, that might be the cue to reassess priorities. Life is all about finding that sweet spot!


 3. Reflecting on the impact of gambling, it’s had its moments of excitement for sure. It’s one of many experiences that add some spice to life, but I’ve found the truest satisfaction comes from non-material achievements and the joys of everyday life.


4. And if I had never gambled? I don’t think I’d feel like I missed out on anything essential. The best parts of life, after all, are about the connections we make and the growth we experience. Gambling’s just one of many experiences that can teach us a bit about risk and reward.

It’s all about perspective and keeping what’s truly important in view, especially when it comes to family and life’s real treasures.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?

Answer: many people who gamble today didn't really need their parents approval to do do, your child could be gambling at age 12, you wouldn't know. But to answer the question, gambling age is usually 18+ so at 18+ I believe anyone is old enough to gamble.

2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?

Answer: gambling is something I do for fun and recreation, so I don't think I have a specific time or day I plan to quit gambling, but I always tell myself that if it eventually gets to a time that I don't find gambling thrilling anymore, then I'll definitely quit because I won't have any use for gambling anymore. And this can happen anytime or anyday.


3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?

Answer: every single time I gamble, I achieve my purpose and goal for gambling, which is enjoying myself, I don't gamble for the purpose of making money so whether or not I win more money doesn't really matter, at the end of the day or at the end of every gambling session, it's still a big win and satisfactory for me regardless the outcome of the game.


4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?

Answer: well tbh I don't think my life would've been any different or better if I wasn't a gambler, yeah I admit that I've made quite a numerous amount of losses during my early days of gambling but still I can say that it wouldn't still have made any difference if I didn't lose that amount because I still recovered every single penny, not through gambling but other means.

1. I can't resist the decisions even if they are my kids if they are making their own money and living under their own roof. Until that I am not going to encourage any unnecessary expenses.

2. Probably Never, You are bound to live your life to its fullest after retirement.

3. Nope.

4. I don't gamble every day and I am not making it a habit to spend money and time gambling, I do it only when I want too so it doesn't affect my life in any way.

Honestly, when it comes to kids and gambling, waiting until they’re old enough to really get what it means seems wise. It’s like waiting for them to mature into their taste in music or movies, right? It’s all about the right time and place.

And on stopping gambling, I guess it’s like any hobby, you do it for fun, and if it stops being fun or starts getting in the way of family movie nights or weekend adventures, then it’s probably time to hang up the dice.

Reflecting on the whole gambling journey, sure, there’ve been some highs that felt pretty good, but the best highs? Those come from the stuff money can’t buy. Like that unbeatable feeling when you’re laughing so hard with friends or family that you forget all your worries.

It’s funny, thinking about it this way makes you realize it’s the simple things and the people around us that make the real magic in life.

1. Once they already know how to make decisions on their own, because I can’t control them forever and what I can do is to guide them only.
2. I still plan to gamble when I retire, because this is the only option for me to become active.
3. Probably, the joy of satisfaction especially when you are winning.
4. Gambling is fun, so you might missed this if you are not into gambling.

When he has earned for himself then I will allow him to gamble. So as long as I still support him and cover his living expenses, don't ever hope that he can gamble in front of me, because it's not his right to gamble using the money I have - even though I've given it to him.


I can't be sure when I can stop gambling, whether it's at 40, 50, or more, it depends on my condition. If my health continues to decline, my finances suffer, or there are other responsibilities that I should fulfill, then maybe I will be able to stop gambling. And that might also apply to others, where they stop when circumstances force them to.

I don't knows when I will allow my child to start gambling because I will watch their emotion first before allows them. It's important to prepare their emotion before they start gambling because they must have a prevention from the tempting of the gambling. If they can have that, I will not worry if they want to start gambling.

I don't knows when I will quit gambling but I will do it someday when I think that is my time to quit gambling. I am satisfy playing gambling so far I don't thinks much about my lose because that's the risks that I gets from gambling. If I don't knows about gambling, I thinks that will be okay because gambling is just a fun and not make money. I don't minds about the lose and I think if I am in the right time, I will have a chance to win.

If I ever have a child, I would probably not allow him to gamble until he has reached the age of 21. If he still decides to live with me at that age, I would try to asking about his gambling habit and to be honest with me about his losses and wins, you know, in order to cultivate trust, so he would never feel judged by me.

I see myself quitting when I get more responsibilities, like a spouse a child or a more demanding job in other city or something similar, so I could use the little time left I would have for other hobbies with I also enjoy and are better than staying on the front of a computer, like hiking, riding a bicycle or drawing.

I have not felt as much satisfaction as other here in the forum has claimed to have felt during their sessions, I have only felt it is entertaining and it is very good to kill the time. The hours fly by when one is rolling dices or playing blackjack.

Yes, I think I would have missed on a lot of interesting information and entertainment, specially when comes to card games, which I personally like (also dices). I have even considered to buy a new pretty card set/poker set on the local store, important cards made of vinyl.  ;)

18 years old and above we can not say that our children have their own decisions so if they want to gamble then it's okay but we need to control them, Avery now and then we will remind them what are the possible outcome if they are too greedy and over in the world of gambling. What are the possible circumstances that they need to be face once they will make a mistakes. Cause in the world of gambling we can not say that we are too lucky everyday but sometimes we are too unlucky. Anyways the best thing to do  be vigilant and wise.

Though it surprises somehow when we are into something and yet we think its not good for us to allow our children do the same, gambling quite alright is a means of having fun, but do many gamblers understand this and have the same mentality of that, the child will also have his own decision to make after he is fully grown up to choose whether to be a gambler or not, it doesn't matter if we want such to gambles or not, they will take their own pattern either ways, through our influence or not.

Legal age for my country. But of course I will explain clearly how it works much much time before.

never. it's fun like watch tv or just reading a book. I will never quit gambling but during the years I have reduced a lot (even without playing for several months).

Definitely yes. I have accrued a lot of info in many sports, and I have developed a good expertise in betting exchange.
Plus I have won nice prizee... definitely I had a good experience on gambling.

No. this is just a funny hobby nothing more.

I would never let my kids start gambling if I knew they were trying to do it.

I don't know when I will quit gambling but I always try to control myself so that gambling addiction doesn't take hold of me.

No

I feel Emptiness, but I don't feel anything as long as I can keep myself under control.

At that age, children are starting to enter adolescence and they will see many things amidst the sophistication of technology. It is not difficult for them to know the term gambling because currently many online gambling platforms are starting to emerge. It is the parents' job to supervise and make choices for them that gambling is not a job to make money. In this way, children understand about gambling and are better able to assess the impact if they are involved in it.

It is difficult to prevent children from being exposed to gambling because there are many factors that make them familiar with gambling. If we don't want children to get caught up in gambling then what needs to be done is to control and explain the benefits and bad effects of gambling. It is the parent's responsibility to supervise their children and if left unchecked, they will become more wild and difficult to control.

  first off, gambling is a choice and depending on th reason why you gamble, you source of satisfaction is different from another's source of satisfaction through gambling and that's just how it works. For me, I won't comfortably introduce my children to gambling since they are supposed to be focused on studies and fixing their lives right while they are still with me. The decision to go into gambling should be there's and theres alone to make and that's how I look at it. If they are emotionally strong enough to manage what comes with gambling, then they can decide if it's okay to start it or not but as a father, that's not my decision to make.

I will never allow our children to be a part of gambling because it is not just risky but it has spoiled the life of many individuals. Most of the people are saying that they are gambling just for fun but think about those families which are always in stress just because of a single gambler.

I never gamble and will never do so and I also advise others to not be a part of it if you want satisfiction in your life and wishes that your family remains happy always. I think those are lucky who understands its risk early and leave it before it ruin the life of whole family.

OP:
Let's talk about the game, the variances of how losses and wins only mean that they can make you a better player and how to draw up game strategies.

For your context (OP), the best thing to do is pay for a consultation with a psychology expert or a psychiatrist, they can even help you in those difficult stages of the game, a psychologist specialized in sports or casino betting can help you .

On the other hand, hire a nutritionist or pay for a consultation, diet is important.

You can also join a gym or pay for a personal trainer.

You must belong to a healthy family environment, and do many other types of activities, such as reading, writing, painting, sports, etc.

That is the approach, global not specific to a couple of questions. (OP)

Spending money on everything mentioned above is the best bet you can make, if you think you have problems or insecurities.

First off, gambling can't come to an end in my life, unless something peculiarly different happens, that it requires, that I shouldn't gamble anymore. As for the kids, I don't think they'll develop the need to become gamblers, because of their studies and environment. Kids who don't stay around gamblers will not have much interest in gambling. Except that they have exposed themselves to multiple gambling adverts. Talking about what I may have lost as a non-gambler, would be knowledge. Gambling opened up to me some meaning information that I can easily implement in my real-life endeavors. However, not all gamblers acknowledge the fact we learn each day whenever we gamble. It's a unique art that needs to be studied. When neglected and the gambler blindly joins the gambling niche s/he will develop rapid gambling problems.

It's an interesting topic but I don't understand what your purpose is for the questions you've created, whether the results will become survey data or just fulfill your curiosity in your mind, or just be a random question that you made up to fulfill your assignment.
So that's fine, I'll answer them properly;
1. To be honest, I will not introduce gambling to my child, because gambling is considered bad in my environment, and there are many things that need to be learned from gambling to become a responsible gambler, it will be very difficult if only based on my sentence and supervision, I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on my child, so as a good parent I will not do it.
2. I haven't confirmed for sure to stop gambling, but the sooner the better usually, because having a family will be quite complicated here if it's still connected to gambling.
3. When I win more than what my friend has won, I feel happy and satisfied because I can be arrogant to my gambling friend.
4. I will miss out on learning how to deal with gambling addiction, the most difficult thing in dealing with something that keeps us playing is addiction and if I never gamble maybe I will not learn how to deal with gambling addiction, maybe I will never know.

It will only happen when they are adults and it is an option for them to gamble or not.
But I would give you advice not to get too involved in gambling and there must be full control if you want to play or bet.

No one will know until when it will stop, but I am not intense enough in gambling.
I just entertained myself with a few games and bets and also none of the huge funds I used.

Ever, and it makes me more satisfied with the achievements I've ever done with gambling.
Makes me satisfied with the game jackpots I often get.
But it's not about how much money, but about the satisfaction of playing and betting.

Nothing will be missed, if I don't gamble then many other things can be done.

First and foremost, I want the very best for myself and would do anything to be comfortable and financially buoyant in the real world. Though there are sacrifice to make and terms to abide to if one is keen on making bold positive changes. Our family also looks up to us especially those of us that are breadwinner and tender their love and supports for our existence because it's never an easy job to take good care of the family and provide for the basic needs of our loved ones.

"Allow" is a weird word for your kid, I did not ask my fathers permission when I started gambling? I mean did you? How many people in the world asks for a permission to gamble from their parents? I do not think that's a possibility and in most cases we are talking about people who lose as well, this is why I do not think that it would be that possible to make some money from it by asking for permission.

I think I will probably never quit, like maybe if I am too old, like 75-80 years old when it is just not as fun as it used to be, but I am financially not spending as much, so it's fine for me these days. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, I had good days for sure. I would say I would have needed another hobby to spend time on.

I understand you perfectly, about games and our children, it is something that cannot make us afraid, because we always want the best for them, but now children come with a chip that wow, they assimilate everything wonderfully, in a way they see Things like casinos are not like us, where they basically do not suffer the emotions that we have, they see this as something normal, that is what I have seen over time, of course my perception, however, my son is 8 years old, but He knows very well that he doesn't even get involved in casino games or games that have to do with weapons, wars, or free fire, things like that, because I have forbidden it, and that is something that he listens to me, so I think that the children , adolescents have to have an authority figure at all times because the dangers are latent.

The ability to make their own decisions is usually reached at 18 so I would allow gambling at this age or above. This is what the government of my country approves.

There should be no age restriction for gambling. Continue as long as you like.

Sometimes some gambling satisfies me but mostly it attracts me more.

I don't know / gambling more.

In fact, no one ever gives children permission to gamble. And it will be the same in my case. I think when they are not child I mean when they are 18+ they will learn to understand their own good and bad then they will take their decision. And of course they will get permission only when they learn to earn themselves and can afford their own money for gambling. And I think a person should quit gambling only when he can't afford gambling funds.

1. I will prefer not to allow my child to know about gambling, and even if he or she does know about gambling I will advice against it, just because I am gambling doesn't mean its good for my child, hell no.

2. It's very easy for me to quit, because gambling is not a business to me, I engage in gambling when I feel like, I've never feel like gambling owes me a lot of money, I don't expect from where I don't do anything, I can quit today or tomorrow if I feel like.

3. I have feel satisfied gaming for many times already, and that's because I enjoy good game designs and soundtracks, I risk very little on gambling all the time and I've never for once felt like I should be risking more, it a lot easier to lose even if you risk a big amount, it doesn't matter.

4. I would have missed out on those cool slots games but it's not going to be a big deal if I was never a gambler, as there are many other ways to enjoy your free time on this mother earth.

You can forbidden it but someday, you will not knows if your children finally knows about gambling from his friends. We can deny that every possibilities can happen in future, especially if the technology grows faster and helps all people including children to learns and knows how to use technology better than us. As you say, now children comes with a chip that can be used for many things and they will easily learns a new thing without difficulty. We can only tells about gambling is a risky activity and have a big bad impacts to those who  used it. They must stay away from gambling and not using gambling as a way to make money. When we can besides them and always telling what we knows and we can communicate to them better, they will not trying to playing gambling or doing something that can harm their lives. They will be careful when they wants to do something and will not break the rules that they make because that can risk their lives.

Never, as long as he is under my command and listens to me and respects my decisions, I wouldn't let him gamble because gambling addiction is a curse, and I know that a lot of people can't control their emotions when gambling. So if my child turns out to be among those, he would ruin his life. So it's better if he stays away from it because it is not a necessity.

Well, I'm not a regular gambler, so I don't see any reason for me to think about that, but probably when I'm out of funds of if I feel that gambling is taking away a lot of my time and money, that would be the time I will quit it because I can easily do that as I'm not addicted to it.

Not really, I have never been lucky enough to win a lot of money from gambling. My wins have always been average as have my losses, so I can't complain but I don't have any significant achievements to share regarding gambling.

No, gambling has been a neutral activity for me, so even if I hadn't gambled at all, I wouldn't have missed anything significant that I achieved from gambling.

1. I won't look into specific age, but I will allow it whenever they already have a jobs and know to manage money. If they only have a jobs and can't save their money, I will not allow them to gamble.

2. No, why I need to quit gambling?

3. Gambling is one of many ways for me to get happiness, of course this affect me to know the reason to live longer.

4. Trilling and adrenaline.

My concern would be if they are responsible, stable and careful enough to gamble at some point of their lives. If they display such characteristics, I wouldn't bother to see them gambling since an early age, from adolescence onwards.

Why there would be an age to quit gambling? It seems the older people get, more used to gambling practice they become, because they tend to stick to more monotonous hobbies and activities which demand less mobility and emotional distress.

I have already had good times gambling which I remember with nostalgia and I think it will remain like this forever as an important part of my lifetime. Although I also have some nasty moments in my memory related to losses... Still, I consider it to have been a learnship after all.

Yes, the experiences, memories and learnships.

This is more rational because they can make their own choices regarding involvement in gambling or not. This can be done if they are able to be responsible for themselves and have the ability to manage finances.

Gambling by getting happiness or in other words pleasure will make us much more responsible. If we can distinguish addiction from being virtuous for pleasure why not? Because in this way some people can do any activity for fun. The problem is when the mindset in gambling is to make money regularly, because it is unlikely that we will be able to do it consistently and it will even cause chaos in thinking.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?
-I wont allow it as much as possible, as parents does know about its risks. Unless if you are a heavy gambler type of parent then
for sure you would really be allowing this.

2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?
-Quitting gambling is something that would really be relevant on the time that you are seeing that you had
made out that huge expenses or using up your funds through it or simply compromises your finances then its relevant on doing so.

3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?
-Satisfaction is something you do really need. Gambling is for fun and it would be always be.

4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?
-Not that much or not that something important. You could really always find for things that makes you entertained or something that you could enjoy.

Everyone will of course want the best for themselves and will do whatever they want without having to worry about what they are doing because if someone is forced to do something and this will make them have to sacrifice their finances of course that is It's really not a good thing to do, because they have struggled to earn income and if they use it for things they don't want, of course it makes us waste our money.

Someone who gambles but is still able to meet their family's needs, of course this will not cause them to have problems in their family, but if a gambler does not take care of their family, of course this will make their family neglected and some may even end in separation. because they don't care about their families and are more concerned with gambling.

Oh yeah, that made me realize "Who is brave enough to get permission to gamble?" I don't. I won't, back when I was young. Because if you do try to ask for permission you will get a punch, probably. :D

We do this gambling thing in secret and even as we grow old we don't tell our parents that we are gambling. We just let them know and I bet they will because some will talk, gossip will come out, and I bet one of the neighbors will tell.
But I don't mind if they will know it that way because you won't be smacked until they catch you. That's the only thing I am scared of when I am gambling and then suddenly they are already behind me just watching me with eyes that tell you are going to get it when you go home.

As we can't be on the lookout for our kids 24/7, we can't dictate their life's choices. But yes, as much as possible, allow them to gamble when they are old enough to know the repercussions of their actions. And they are also earning for themselves. Because if they are earning, it means, they understood the value of the money. They may have different disposition in life if they truly understood what they are doing to their lives and their income.

In addition, if the individual is too young to get into this game, usually, they can't handle the emotional toll on them. They are not mature enough to handle terrible situations on hand. This is why, as much as possible, they should be old enough to gauge their situation. So they can have better disposition in life even if we say, they lost something from gambling.

Yeah it's because I've seen many people who already more than 18 years old can't manage their money and always give excuse if they can't save when they actually earn quite a good amount salary. Imagine if they become gambler, I won't be surprised if they might gamble almost all of their money and in debt because they need to buy foods.

While there are many young people who're not even reach 18 years old can save their money and control their emotion to buy unnecessary needs.

if he has reached the age of 18 years or above, then it is up to him whether he wants to gamble or not. but i always have to make sure that he gambles properly and not too much. i mean, he has to gamble with a bankroll that isn't that big, since most of his money is from me and i don't want him to waste it and use it unwisely. i also don't want him to get involved in gambling too deeply which makes him addicted to it.

the point is how he can gamble but still be responsible for his other responsibilities and not get too involved in gambling any deeper.

1. I'll allow my kids to gamble when they are in the legal age of 18. But as much as possible I do not want to push them into gambling.
2. I'm not sure. Probably around 50-ish? Idk to be honest. Maybe, as much as I have an amount that I can afford to lose and enjoy to gamble away all my stress in life away haha.
3. So far, gambling had made some good impacts in my life and helped me financially. I was able to treat myself, reduced stress, and even help and treat my family from my winnings.
4. No, not at all. I haven't missed out anything because of gambling.

Buddy its not all about managing money and taking risk, its about taking taking responsibility of actions as a gambler. Now let me ask you this question, would you let your child who is not up to the age of gambling like let me say he is 14 years but he know hot to manage finances and make inclined decisions; would you let him gamble?

When we all mean 18 years, we meant that the child is fully responsible of his own actions. I know how desperate teens can be to reach the age of 18 so they feel like adults and make some adult decisions. If my kid by that age wants to gamble i wont stop him, and if i see he has some issue handing finances then ill advise him, dont get me wrong i wont tell him to stop, ill only tell him about the advantages and disadvantages of gambling. I will teach him how i learnt to control my emotions. On the other hand, a father should be a figure to his child. I fi claim to be a responsible gambler i believe my kid would learn from me and be responsible as well

1. Not allowing my child to involved with gambling as much as possible because we do know the risks on getting addicted, we arent around all the time until they do grow up. So it would be better that stopping them while they are still young.

2. I'll quit on random moment or time on which if its already that taking too much money or having that huge expense then this the time i would really be quitting gambling.
3. Entertainment and leisure should really be your main priority and if it comes to the point that you are already chasing up your losses then simply quit or stop and dont tend to do such thing.
4. No, its simply that for past time and isnt something that could missed out something.

I take the opposite attitude which is kids need to learn risk vs reward anyway.  Most kids will learn a card game, the gamble for money would not be acceptable for children but in any case they neither earn or spend in that way.

There is no age for quitting gambling, when you can no longer add up properly perhaps.  IF you feel judgement has gone then maybe then.  I think most old people play games for considerable amounts of time but not in a big way so much but many games lower key spread out over time.   Older people tend to play for the social dynamic not the advantageous part of the prize and how big that might .

Gambling can keep an active mind, its potentially helpful for everyone so thats the perfect satisfaction level where you enjoy the game and money is the bonus from being so good at this game.

I would not have watched some sports games if I had not bet on the sequence of games leading upto and after the bet upon game.  So I would miss that experience if I was not betting as Im usually more focused on the result and advantage of either team etc.

Many people ignore that children actually get introduced to gambling at a very easily stage or age unbeknownst to their parents or family. At first, it starts with table games like Ludo or any other tabletop game which involves to roll dices on a table. Later, as children start to grow up into pre-teen, they get introduced to card games like UNO or even poker.
All this happens even in controlled settings like in elementary and middle school, when their classmates or even teachers use those games to distract them in a boring day.
If we try to isolate children from the reality of the world, we will only end up making them ignorant and more vulnerable to fall for bad things, like scams, addictions, etc.

It is a matter to have some "serious talks" with them and be honest, in the same way many schools and parents opt to give sexual education to their teens and pre teens in order for them not to get pregnant or catch STDs, we are supposed to do the same with gambling and betting, so when they reach adulthood, they will be productive members of society. Just my opinion.

I am a non-professional gambler although sometimes I participate in gambling only for pleasure but my participation is only for pleasure and not for any monetary income. I will never allow my child to be involved in gambling because gambling has more harm than good. So I will always try to keep my child away from the lure of gambling.
As I am a non-professional gambler, at any stage of life, especially before fifty, I will remove myself from all the attractions of gambling and I will not allow any of my family members to get involved in this gambling addiction.
When I was not a gambler I had a good life style but now I am a non professional gambler and have lost ten times the amount of money I have gained from gambling. So I want to stop myself from gambling as soon as possible and try to control myself so that gambling addiction does not touch me later.

I have had many wins and losses since I started gambling. I gamble because I enjoyed gambling. I used to enjoy sports betting. It gave me great pleasure when I bet with a favorite team and win a small amount of money. I have had many moments in gambling when I had many wins. A moment gave me so much pleasure. Although my intention was to enjoy gambling but in one bet I got a big win in proportion to my bet and with the winning money I did some of my necessary work which helped me financially a lot. It was a good moment of my victory but there are many incidents in my gambling where i loss. I manage gambling within my budget so it doesn't effect much.

If I wasn't a gambler I wouldn't have gained such a good knowledge of sports betting. The fun of watching live sports betting is different. Those who have never bet will definitely not find this excitement. There are many who enjoy the excitement of gambling despite losing money and I think I am one of them.

1. Probably never. Yes, I am gambler but I don't want my child to gamble. Regardless of how the life will be in the next decade or so, I'd always decline if I am asked for a permission.
2. I don't know. Maybe when I don't feel gambling anymore. I can't hold the future and I have no idea on what's coming in it. Maybe I might like it for the next years but people change, right? That's why I have no idea when and at what age I'll be.
3. Yes. When I am on the rainy days and I need some money on it and fortunately have won some bets, then that's one of the satisfying moments that I've ever been with gambling. But it doesn't come always so, I'm thankful that it was just a fortunate moment of my life.
4. Not sure with that, it's all about "might", "maybe" answer.

Yeah I will let him to gamble, as long as he able to earn money and know how manage money, it's their choice to choose whatever he want.

In the end, people will ask you how much money you make every month instead of what's your degree, what's your profession, how long you study etc etc, even you're just a waiters but you can earn as high as business's owner, no one will say anything bad to you.

gambling and kids dont mix unless they're already grounded. They need to go to school, be disciplined, and know a lot about money. Its not about age, but about being mature. Me giving up gambling? That would be like giving up making great deals, which is not going to happen. It has given me an edge by teaching me how to handle risk, enjoy big wins, and even deal with tough losses. Its important to be smart in life, right?

What are you missing out on if you never gamble? Its true. Its the thrill and the wins. Helps you get back on your feet, think about the chances, and be humble sometimes. Balance is the word. Fun, family, and a small amount of danger can all go together. If you play smart and stay safe, your wins will taste even better.

And whatever the reason, I will not let my child gamble because I am worried that he will not be able to control himself when he gets to know the world of gambling, let alone become addicted and this must be really thought about. Because that would ruin my child's life, and those who really love their children definitely don't want that to happen. Even though I love gambling and am not an active gambler, I know the risks of addiction and I don't want that to happen to my child.

And in this case, if I want to stop at any time, I can easily stop because I only gamble on weekends after 5 busy days with work and only use a few dollars. That's also if I have the urge to gamble, otherwise I won't. And to stop completely, maybe I'll stop at 50.

What happens is that now the world has been very open to any type of activities where basically the freedoms are very great, since children can have Access to the web, as parents it is difficult to determine them, because they are very curious beings , in less than 1 minute they can go on the Internet, search, obtain information and be Aware of what they want to extract information from, and this is Done by children who do not even Know how to read, so in this order of ideas things can be very decisive for them, we have to have a lot of observation, a lot of Attention, a lot of supervision because now not only children but anyone in the world can Access any casino and the truth is that prohibiting them is like trying to cover the sun with a finger, so this guy Some things must be treated with Great Caution,  always warning of the Associated dangers.

When he can make its own money and can take responsibility for its life. At that time we will not be able to interfere in his lives, we can only give directions and share the experiences we have gained, all decisions are still up to him, I will not interfere when he has its own life.

For me, there is no specific age for this. I will continue to gamble as long as I can still control my finances, as well as mentally ensure I can maintain my gambling rules.

Currently, I feel somewhat satisfied with my gambling, because I can control my gambling without falling into an addiction. Plus, I can make a steady profit from my gambling.

Gambling for me is like a financial game that brings me many interesting feelings as well as useful lessons. If I hadn't participated in gambling, I probably wouldn't have learned the lessons of capital management as well as how to control my emotions and greed.

yeah I agree, that's why it should be to avoid such an incident, maybe what parents need to do is to build a good relationship between parent and children so that when the time comes when there are things they want to know out of their curiosity, they themselves will come and ask to their parents instead of searching it right away on the internet or asking other people. We don't watch over them 24/7 and we don't know the activities they do, so it's better to start with the easiest way until they themselves come to us to ask questions.

It is important to be smart in life so that we can achieve what we want, but if the direction is towards children who are not yet ready to know about gambling, it is better for them not to be close to gambling or fall into it. Because there are many other important things they need to know so it is true as you say that gambling and children cannot mix with each other.

The sensation will be felt when we have won from gambling because before winning everyone must face the same risks so that excitement can also be created at the same time when we see victory in front of our eyes. So things like this are usually more suitable for people who are adults and not for children who are still at school or at the same level.

The age that governments consider to be the age at which a person is already an adult is 18 years of age. Therefore, I would tell you that you can play at 18 years of age because in all casinos in the TOS they also set 18 years of age as the age of majority and this is because the casinos are following government recommendations. but it is necessary to look at each case in isolation, for example a person may have a child who is 18 years old but that child behaves like a child and is not responsible, in which case advising him to play at 18 years of age would not be a good idea. movement because he is already 18 years old but has no responsibility. while another person may have a more responsible 18-year-old child, in that case that person may allow the child to play. My answer will depend on the behavior of the child I had


50 years of age is my maximum age to play, when you are very old, playing becomes something dangerous, especially games that greatly affect people's emotions, which is why I would retire from gambling at the most 50 years of age


I play for fun, so for me every time I play I'm happy, even when I lose my bets I still laugh and do other things in the real world to have fun and with that I can play and even though I lose I'm aware that it's normal and that everything is fine. I always say that it is very important that people have many other ways to have fun so as not to focus solely on gambling. happy people rarely become addicted to gambling


Well, I don't see my gambling activities as losses, I see them as fun just like when I buy food and stay at home eating and watching a movie. Many people forget that the amount of money they use to drink alcohol or go to the beach is also an expense, so what is the difference between using $10 at the casino and using $10 at the beach? in both cases people are spending the money

For the first question if the father is a gambler then he will allow his children gambling and I will not know which age he will like to allowing them to gambling but as for me from 18 years and above because at that age they can withstand with the pressure of gambling. Then the number two question is that quitting gambling is something that is very difficult mostly when you have played gambling until it has enter into your blood. But from age 75 is a good age to stop gambling. Then the third question, even those who have won millions and billions are still gambling so as for me nobody has satisfied with gambling win and I have not also. And the number four. Some gamblers would tell people that if they don't know how to gamble then it is better they should not even learn how to gamble. So wit that statement, those of us that have enter into gambling are even trying leave gambling but the resistance is very low so we found ourselves in the gambling field.

I could say that its a bit too off when you do make out that kind of allowing your kids on engaging into gambling specially when you are a father, unless if you are a heavy addict then you might really be having those kind of considerations but for them then there's no way that i would be allowing that. As parents then we should really be guiding them into the right path as much as possible and we do know the risks about gambling addiction that
could really be resulting into that huge problem into their lives. There's no father that wants really to see their children would really be suffering out on such condition. This is why as much as possible then we would really be tending to avoid them at all cost. We do know the risks and the probabilities.

You cant really just that allow them just because you are doing it also. There's a difference on how an adult and a kid would be thinking up on a particular thing.So it would really
be just that depending on how you would really be handling out and making that kind of discipline.

1. I won't be the kind of father who restricts my children from a lot of things, knowing fully well that if I don't give them access, they might still learn the knowledge and do whatever they want outside and behind my back.
 
It will be best if I personally educate them on how gambling works and how they can go about it.
 
Going back to the number 1 question, I think the best time I can start allowing them to gamble is when ever they have started making their own money; they have the right to gamble with a little percent of it; it's their hard earned, and they can make decisions over that.

2. I can't really tell when I will stop gambling; it will depend on how my age will affect me and the kind of engagement and side fun that I might have discovered, which will determine if I will continue gambling at an old age or not.

3. I have never imagined gambling in this aspect, like looking for the positive things that it has impacted on me. I don't create room for that; I just check my gambling habits to see if I'm still on track or if I'm doing too much. That's the only kind of check I do, and I have also not won any big, reasonable amount from gambling before.

4. Can’t tell…

The most important thing is that, the child should and must get to gambling age before he she be allowed to gamble and to have a feel of what gambling is at first place, this is so because if you as a parent just allowed your child to have access to gambling at just any age because you are a gambler doesn't make you a responsible parent, most times you should be able to find a balance between when and how a child get involved in risky things such a as gambling since the child will be needing some form of mentorship.


18+ is technically ok as others have also mentioned, but if the child could grow older than that such as getting to 30 years before testing what gambling is is quite ok since at that age he will have sense of responsibility.

It’s very unlikely that a parent would allow their child to gamble, not even when themselves are compulsive gamblers or addicts to the industry. I think this could only come into play for the few individuals that sees it for a profession. For these persons, you could find them go as far as coaching there wards on how to gamble the various markets (these are just my assumptions with respect to what is obtainable in other professions and to set the records straight, I’ve not seen any gambler exhibiting these character).

70+ age seems like an age to draw the line but, that’s when we look at 70+ years of age to be really old. Some guys could be really young for their age and you could find them gambling still. I’ll always limit this to reasoning.

1. Probably when they hit the legal age, along with a good chat about playing it smart.
2. Quitting? I guess whenever it stops being fun or fitting into my life neatly.
3. Absolutely, I’ve had some wins that really made my day and showed me the fun side of taking a chance.
4. If I hadn’t gambled, I’d have missed out on some heart-pumping moments and lessons in taking risks and enjoying the moment.

This is possible for those who only work from home but we still can hire someone who will watch out for our kids. Kids needs to be shaped up because whatever they adopted, they will carry it when they grow old and we have the rights to do it because we are the ones who feed them and give their other needs.

You got a point there about earning but there are still lots of working peeps who have a gambling problem. They can realized what they are doing to their lives and their income, which is why some can change their bad habits into a positive one but unfortunately some finds it very tricky. Oh well, let's only hope and pray, they can overcome their challenges.

Only adults should be allowed to gamble because at that stage, it is believed that they are matured enough to handle their emotions and make good decisions.  My child should be be matured enough to make decisions for himself as long as he is an adult. There is no point hiding gambling from him or restricting him from gambling because if I do, he will definitely learn from friends, strangers and even the internet. Gambling is one activity one must be careful of so as not to get oneself in trouble. Once my child feels he is old enough to gamble, I will be right there acting as the watchdog monitoring his activities and giving good counsels so he doesn't get himself and the family into any trouble.


Aside from the wins, gambling has been fun and satisfying for me and I believe as I get older, I believe i will appreciate gambling even more.

That's because of the presence of the internet that grows fast in many countries. That makes people, including children can used internet easiness and can browsed any websites they wants. They can visits many casinos without a problems so that can makes them becomes liking gambling like adults. This needs supervise from their parents to always monitor what websites they used and will always warn them if they used internet for a wrong thing. If parents doesn't warn or tells them about the danger or the bad side of internet, their children can easily drag into the bad side and will becomes someone that their parents doesn't knows. The children needs to be careful when they interact with their friends because influence from their friends can changes them slowly.

The easy access of the internet within children makes it hard for you to know if they are gambling or not. It is only a child that is very close to his parents that will have the confidence in them and tell them whatever he is doing online, apart from that it becomes impossible for parents to know what their children uses the internet for.

The best thing is to educate them on gambling, and let them know that whoever is not working cannot gamble, and also let them to know that gamble can ruin their lives. I don't hope to see my child gambling someday, but if he does, and I notice it, that is when I will know what to do.

I don't wish that my children should gamble. But if they want to it should be when they are gainfully employed and can afford to take care of themselves. I don't expect them to gamble with the money they get from me. Also, they should be within the legal gambling age of my country.
I don't think I will quit gambling because my gambling activities will increase when I am retired. Retirement will be boring and I might consider gambling as one of my main activities.
I have enjoyed my gambling activities because it gives me some level of entertainment. Just like one will enjoy watching movies and getting satisfied, that is how I feel after gambling. However, I get higher satisfaction when I win my games.
If I was not a gambler, other endeavours would have interested me. So I wouldn't say I will miss anything if I am not gambling. Maybe I would have been attracted to video games, sports or other activities.

You are actually right, internet and civilization has made many children learnt alot from online be it good or bad. When they are addicted to the bad the parent will never know. Apart from gambling other thing that the younger generation are addicted to is also pornography or having an underaged affair. Though it might be out of our topic of discussion here but want to point it out. Most times parents need to educate their children in Versaille direction pointing out the dangers that can affect them when they get addicted to what they do. Just as you have said because advising them on those things will save them from some unforseen circumstances which might have endangered their life's. The only way to save the younger generation from online addition is by regular advising them because you wouldn't be their with them when they are online and be doing their things. Like me I always do gamble online by since my mum and my wife don't know, they think I don't gamble.ost at times they talk more about others not knowing they have one secret gambler at home lolz. But I am happy seeing advisers here since my family can't advise me online, I think I have millions of adviser here.

1. I don't think I'll give a chance to my child or children to ever do so knowing fully well the outcome that gambling at that tender age brings.

2. We'll I would say quitting gambling doesn't literally mean your going to miss the fun it brings but for me I don't think  gambling has any side effects or negative effect rather on myself because I see it as something I derive joy from.but nevertheless I would do so but can't guess the age tho.
 
3. Nah!! I don't think have achieved anything satisfying but  in the other hand it got an impact on me in the sense that I know when and how to tackle my emotions that will be favourable to activating my winning big.

4. Literally gambling has a way of making one Miss so much opportunities but I don't think it has affected me in this area too but rather it has opened my initiative and expanded my horizons on how to grab some opportunities.

1. Gambling is a matter of choice, I don't have to say anything about gambling to my kid until it happen from their side and I will have to guide them to avoid addiction, Age is just a number but the company that your kid keep is what will expose them to things they don't know, I just have yo make sure that my child is around good friends even at a young age.

2. I don't have an age to quit gambling, its not a company where i have to stop working at a certain age and probably plan my retirement, I will do it only when I feel the time is right.

3. I love the games and that's all, I am a big fan of games and I quickly get along, its either the graphic details or the mechanism of the game, its fun and that's all I need from a game, I use gambling to waste away my free time so its worth saying that I have achieved countless satisfaction while gambling.

4. There is nothing to missed out if I decide not to be a gambler, like I've said before I like games and gambling platforms aren't the only source of getting entertained when gaming.

Also money making wise, I have made more money from other investments than online casinos, if I decide to put an end to gambling today it won't do me a thing.

Gambling is not a hobby parents teach their children. Just because the father is gambler doesn’t necessarily mean he would approve of his kids gambling. Parents are usually protective and shield their children from their vices.

While I agree that the legal age for gambling is 18+, I don’t think there is a specific age to quit gambling. I have seen old people play bingo and it relaxes them. They don’t play for the money, just the fun of it. As long as there is no health concerns, a person can gamble till he/she doesn’t see it as fun anymore.

It is not the same for everyone. I don’t have a problem with gambling, I don’t see it as a means to make my fortune so my bets are well calculated within my own budget.

1. Tobe honest Im not gonna allow my kid to play gamble, but if he insists and know the risk I would probably be okay at 21+ because around that age he might have their own salary
2. Today I rarely do gamble so when Im quit I don't know maybe If I got married Im gonna quit
3. No at the moment so I don't achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on me the only feel that I felt is greed fear and fun hahhaha
4. Missed all the fun hahahha but maybe I missed this community

A person's maturity in managing money cannot be seen from their age, although in general people will be able to manage their finances when they are over 18 years of age or older. Children who are unable to control themselves and are unable to manage their finances will end up badly in gambling, because it will have a psychological impact when they experience losses. Maturity will give someone the decision to live their life and if they are able to be responsible with their life and finances then in my opinion there is no problem getting involved in gambling.

It goes back to parental upbringing because now it seems difficult to limit gambling to anyone because people are familiar with technology. So as long as their abilities can be responsible then getting involved in gambling is not too bad. I am not justifying or blaming because maybe people's perceptions are different, but it feels difficult to limit gambling now.

As long as they are at the legal age and it is their own money I wouldn't stop then, instead I would just remind them to only spend what they could afford to lose, don't be too greedy and learn to control the time and money that they would spend on it.
I don't really know of a certain age since I am taking breaks on gambling everytime that I lose, and sometimes it would take months or years before I gamble again, I couldn't be so sure that I wouldn't go back or try to gamble again after a long time of break.
Not really sure about it, but I did achieve some satisfaction when I bought something for myself from the money I won in gambling back when I was young.
I feel like yes I would missed out something, but not really sure what it is, since most of my teenage years I was already into gambling, betting.

I think there was a question asked in this forum sometimes again that if you win huge in gambling, will you allow your children to gamble? And there were different answers on that topic. Some say yes and others no. Well I don't have a stand on that argument. But because of what you said made me to do some research and also create this thread to know if gambling could be a hobby. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5492454.0 you can also read it and see other people comments. I don't like argument on things like this because it too clear that the parents that are already addicted in life allow their children to gamble because as for him it is a source of income. And he has taken it as a hobby.

I completely agree with you, for me the things that have to do with parents and children, after reaching a certain age, parents have to continue fulfilling their role, but at the same time giving their children the confidence that they can trust them as if they were their friends, that is something that very few people do, and it is not so easy, because children associate that parents should not give them orders, but parents have to make them see that their role as children can help a a lot to build a good relationship, it is difficult, but I know several cases that have achieved it even when they grow up and are adults, they talk to their parents as if they were really their friends, I think that type of relationship can be achieved, as long as they start From an early age, you have to create that confidence.

It is not so easy when it comes to children, there is always something that one can do to avoid the worst things but it is invetibale that some things like for example having clarity on things for them with open internet is not possible, neither can one. It may be restricting a lot, there is a program on Google that is for parental control, but that is giving them privacy in their things and that is what we should supervise, so in view of these things what one should do is have Of course, children must see what they do while they are on the Internet, there is no other way, even if they do not want to show, schedules must be established for them, it is the least way, and obviously staying away from the online casino and games. like deprotive bettors, because they are not really prepared for that.

Being able to accumulate wealth is important in everyone's financial life for unexpected financial responsibilities that could erupt. Gamblers who are not able to control their wealth will undergo lots of trouble with handling other financial needs, except for gambling. It's quite fine for a gambler to repackage his lifestyle before becoming a gambler. Because of the changes that gambling could cause to his financial lifestyle if he's not careful of his savings. Upbringing is a factor, yes. And negligence affects the growth of children, regarding managing their pocket money.

Hence, due to the high rate of online gambling and the increase in the use of the internet, kids, growing up, should be enrolled to know the importance of controlling the gravity of spending money unwisely. It's not wrong to spend money, what matters is how it was spent, whether it favored societal growth or demeaned it. Managing money is not simple, a child needs to be groomed earlier in this pact of life since he'd never escape it. This could help in the growth of society if future gamblers are not victims of chasing losses and wagering money recklessly.

I think the age for a child to start a gamble for a child is 20 years because after 20 he gets up to some maturity and understands the actual nature of gambling. e.e greed, fear,r, etc, and also the norms and regulations.

I don't think so there will be a stage coming where I cut off my hands from gambling. Gambling is a technique that you can not understand all in just one year, In fact you learn and get experience with time so when you get old you will be an expert in gambling.

A stage comes in the life of every gambler where he thinks that he earned more than he lost in gambling now. So don't be fooled if someone tells you that not being into gambling is just a waste of time. and money. So don't panic when you are losing funds believe me you will be rewarded.

Yes, we will not knows what our children do if we don't supervise or monitor them. But if we gives attentions to them and besides them while they use internet, we will knows what they do and we can suggests them if they wants to search about something. We will not lets them search for anything that's not at their ages because that can makes them searching for the other materials. The parents jobs will be difficult in this era because parents needs to have skills or knowledge to guide them to use internet.

We must educate them when they used internet but we don't have to teach them about gambling. If we can communicate better to our children, we will see our children will not close to gambling or even playing gambling. They knows that playing gambling can ruin their lives and they will knows that gambling is also prohibit in their religion so they will not playing gambling.

That's why parents must always tells and besides their children because that will helps their children from accessing something that they must not knows. Their children will knows what they can access and what they must avoids so they will not trying to search for something that's not for their ages. Their parents can gives privacy but their children must know how they can used their privacy. They will not trying to playing gambling even if their friends asks them to join with them to playing gambling because they knows that playing gambling can gives many problems. Parents needs to guide their children and not lets them select the wrong way so they don't be like their friends that involve in something that can ruin their lives. Children will also be careful when they are with their friends.

I have no control to my kids when the time comes and able to provide for themselves. They can decide for themselves but I'll still be there to guide them that they should do anything with moderation.

Because if they're not going to do that, the result will be bad and they may not take it provided that they will see the results of those that have became reckless with gambling and wasn't able to control themselves.

Educating them the good and bad thing about it and when they can understand deeper, they'll be the ones to decide whether they should gamble or not.

Actually, I won't allow my child to gamble, that's because I'm afraid of the negative impact it will have on my child's life. Like addiction and wasting money just to gamble, it will ruin his life. But if my child wants to try gambling, maybe I will allow it when he is 21 years old because I think this is the ideal age. And I will help my child to control himself in gambling so that he doesn't become addicted.
I currently cannot stop gambling completely. I still gamble sometimes but not very often, and only with some of my money. This is better than before, I used to be addicted to gambling and it ruined my life.
When I became addicted to gambling I never felt satisfied. I always want to try it and double the profits. I once won a large amount in gambling, and I could buy whatever I wanted. At that time I thought gambling had a good impact on me, but when I tried to gamble again to get more profits, it turned out I was wrong and I slowly experienced losses.

Well, I don't know what it's like to be raised in some other countries, but I think that now things are very similar in terms of childcare. I know that in Europe children are super valuable, just like in the USA, they are actually the future. So I know that when parents do something wrong, like keeping an eye on them, not supervising them, they risk even losing them and handing the children over to the government, so this is something very delicate, I believe that parents should not allow their children to be looking for something else on the internet, if you see that they are in casinos then it is a very serious offense, in fact where I live, that is also punishable by law, because such cases can be very decisive with them, they can cause psychological damage and that It is very delicate.

Until they reach adulthood (and after that, until the children listen to my opinion), they will not be allowed to gamble. Of course, with money bets. And I would not include playing cards with friends for fun, for example, within the scope of this question. Upon reaching 18 (21) years of age, their personal responsibility for their lives begins.

Quick question: Should board games like "Monopoly" be classified as gambling? There, too, bets are made, there is game luck, depending on the dice thrown, and the like. Where is the line between a game becoming gambling? If you play chess with money bets, is that already gambling from which children should be protected? It seems to me that there is enough gambling in the lives of children, which adults don't pay attention to due to the prevailing traditional views on this and the lack of monetary bets on these games.

I quit gambling a long time ago, even before I started playing it. :)

I was always afraid that it could develop into a gambling addiction and I should stop as soon as possible.

I don’t regret that I tried gambling (just a little), because it allowed me to understand how this industry works, from which it is better to stay away. Only if you are not the owner of the casino. :)

You touch an important point to me, very often when I argue that kids should be taught about money matters from a very early age I get a negative response within my family, they say that kids should be let to be kids for as long as possible, but if kids are not taught at an early age healthy money habits, they will grow to develop all kind of behaviors that will set them back for the rest of their lives, so taking your time to teach your kids about money early on will save you and your kids a lot of money and headaches, and this could save kids from gambling at an early age as they will understand that gambling is not really for them.

when we decide to get married, have a family and maybe some already have children. then what is our hobby, our pleasure and our favorite, then that should no longer be our main priority. because we not only have to be responsible for ourselves, but we also have to be responsible for them, our children, and our wives. A child whose life is still dependent on his parents for the time being, and when, for example, we as fathers, the backbone of the family, experience serious problems due to gambling, then it is not ourselves who are the victims, but also those, who are wives and children, who will also be affected.

We all know very well that gambling has quite dangerous risks and negative impacts, because anyone can become addicted, and even those who are old enough can become addicted to gambling, especially those who are underage, maybe they are a little more susceptible to becoming addicted. Therefore, it is quite important for us to always monitor and ensure that our children's growth and development can go well, and that irresponsible gambling activities do not become a factor that disrupts children's growth and development and damages their future.

There'll be a countervailing reaction from other people regarding such ideas, but it sounds like hiding the truth under the sun. Growth is inevitable, since he'd never remain a baby forever it's crucial to walk him through the future he's about to face, while in his childhood. Hence, in the future, he'd be able to look back and thank his stars for having a responsible parent who tutored him earlier on the importance of money management. Not all will grow up and end up as gamblers, but even if they gamble, he wouldn't chase losses. As he's known the basics of limiting his expenses, as a child.

When with kids, I tend to teach them what would favor them in the future, because it's inevitable. Putting them on the right track gives the child advances over some financial challenges, even as a teenager. A lot of adults battle with financial management because it came to them as a surprise. Their parents sounded like those around you who always say let the kids be kids. Erasing from their mind those children will end up becoming adults soon. Same way they were taught to learn how to eat, bathe, clean their teeth, etc., a child should also be versatile in other basic factors of living a healthy life like money management.

what you said is true, as the head of the family who has responsibility for his wife's children of course must be highly prioritized however it is a bad impact if we make mistakes in gambling, but honestly this depends on how you manage yourself and depends on your situation too, if gambling does not interfere with the economy and your time with family I don't think it will be a problem, as long as you manage it properly and don't like to exceed your limits in gambling, so you can continue your hobby in gambling but yes of course we gradually have to reduce gambling time from what we usually are in the casino because after marriage has a family that needs your time.

The risk of bad in an unprepared state is real, gambling can do that, so yes as much as possible you need to minimize gambling in front of your child or if possible not in front of him, including also protecting our child's environment because nowadays the environment will easily influence our children to enter a world that is not yet their time to enter such as gambling.

Because the risk of losing their children makes parents must always supervising their children. Many children lost their lives because of parents lacks to supervise them, especially if their children can't stay close to their parents and choose to lived or socialize with their friends. They can't gets the right information from their parents because their children believe their friends and not their parents. It's a wrong if their children lost their belief to their parents and follows what their friends said because that can makes them in a wrong way. Parents must introspect what's going on with them and their children so they can start to fixed what's needed. If their children can follow what their parents suggestion, they will not chooses the wrong way because their parents will always besides them.

You are right. Even if one gambles, one should never gamble in front of children. Or to make children learn about it. As a result, children will become interested in shoes. And gradually become addicted to it.

Gambling is strictly for adults. Even we see many adults around us who are addicted to gambling. I know some young people who have become addicted to various drugs because of their gambling addiction. I have seen some news about people who have committed heinous crimes like theft and robbery to finance their gambling and drug addiction.

I always say that gambling is not for the faint of heart. If you cannot control yourself then you should definitely stay away from gambling. Otherwise you will easily get addicted to gambling. So before gambling we should know about its disadvantages. And you should keep yourself mentally strong.

1. This is common to all of us parents, though we here are regular gamblers or heavy gamblers at some point, but I think we all have to agree that as much as possible, we wouldn't want our children to get involved in gambling ever in their life. However, when it comes at the right age and the right time, I would say as long as my children are able to make a living themselves, I no longer will interfere if they choose to engage into gambling.
2. Me, I didn't totally quit, but I managed to minimized it at the most convenient to accommodate and prioritize my family necessities and needs.
3. Hmmm the only satisfying moment in the entire time I was gambling since before, was when I went home with a good winning amount and bought my parents and siblings an extra food and drinks for dinner.
4. Well, I might have missed how to responsibly manage my finances.

Let me go directly to your question, first of all I will definitely try to educate my child with good education and I will try my best to ensure a bright future for him. I will leave no stone unturned to try to shape a bright future for my child and I will try to shape him accordingly. I will make sure that he is never involved in gambling in student life. When he is established he can gamble as much as he wants I will never invite him to gamble or force him to do so.

In answer to your second question I would say that I will gamble as long as I see myself in the driving position of gambling ie as long as I can trust myself but when I feel that the gambling vehicle is out of control I will quit. 

In answer to the last two questions I will tell you that I have learned and learned a lot during this time of gambling and if I had known about gambling I might not have understood the things that I know or understand now.

No. Yes appreciate the fun, the excitement, the wins especially and the losses. But thinking about all of this and with the stress it gives, the time that I should be spending with my family and friends or career, If I would start over again I won't delve in with gambling. I used to juggle with which priority should I chose between making money gambling or making time with my family.

So for me I won't miss out any. Because gambling will always be there, they will operate without me. The lesson I learned from that I can also learn from other endeavor. This is just my perspective and my own experience.

And you think once your child starts gambling he/she will be sincere with you all the way? You must be joking if that is what you think. For a child to be so sincere with the parent after starting gambling is so rare, and of course, depends on the relationship you built with the child. When it comes to money in such a way that it is also affecting the life of the child negatively, that's when they start keeping it from you to avoid you believing they are bad children. But if you are such a very caring and supportive father, maybe the children will open up to you, but this is in rare cases. However, if you already know that your child is gambling, maybe you should once in a while request for his gambling slips and apps, it could be randomly done after 6 months so that you will be able to bring in parenting advice for a guide.

Nonetheless, as you are doing this to curb excesses, why not also try to keep giving the child financial support and advice that would make him/her know that the real success of life is not in gambling but in real-life activity and successful career-building elsewhere? Gambling is just a way to earn passive income but also an activity that is dangerous and damning. If a child knows this from the beginning, he/she might be cautious and conscious towards it and build a good foundation that will make him only see it as an extra way of life and not the main one. This will not cause some core attachment to it which often leads to desperation of seeking financial breakthroughs through gambling. With this, such a child will always look elsewhere to build a career.

I won't support my child gambling. What I would do is only to educate him on the dangers and negativity of gambling at an early age.  Educating them early is the best thing any parent can do for there wards.
This will instill the fear in them from a early age, thus will debunk any later information they  come across.

In essence what your ward hear you preach,  is what they will follow.

Maybe when someone can control and regulate these activities well then gambling will not be a problem. However, when someone tries to use gambling as a shortcut to improve their family's financial situation, then this is clearly wrong behavior, because the final results of gambling cannot be relied on. Instead of gambling being able to improve their financial situation, in the end this activity actually worsens their financial situation, where their needs are not met at all and the money they have is used up on gambling because they have started to become addicted to gambling. In the end, this behavior can cause disharmony in a household relationship, and possibly result in divorce.

And it's true what you said that as much as possible when we gamble, never gamble in front of our children, because perhaps gambling could be a bad example for them (children), with their very high curiosity, children. Children often try everything adults do, including gambling.

Gambling is dangerous, as a father, but that's not a reason to quit. What matters is the cautiousness of the player, he shouldn't get too attached to the game. Having a family is a better advantage to him, and a means of being focused on grooming his home and having less time to gamble. Some gamblers who were too attached to gambling should see it as a time detach. As more responsibility is now on board. Hence, looking out for the children and spouse is the duty now. Gambling profusely at this time is quite wrong. Unfortunately, some players carry the habit over to their homes and tend to destroy the happiness in the house. However, not everyone can control those impulses to reduce their gambling habit as a married player.

In a situation like this, the player should open up to his spouse, for help. Mainly I see marriage as an advantage to the player. However, not all players tend to utilize this opportunity. Being single as a gambler seems riskier to me, in terms of addiction. Unlike a married person who has people around him to take care of him. Things change along the line in the life of every gambler. Good or bad. Considering our home is crucial as gamblers because they matter much more than the casino. Those funds should be used for the kid's upbringing. Spare cash can be thrown into gambling.

Training a child or children is not an easy task, sometimes what you have planned installed for them is not actually what they will go with. I have seen children still get spoiled with their mentality or their moral upbringing. Children are complex and open minded at some certain stage in their life and also wanting a little bit of influence by their peer is always done by most of these keys so even being introvert doesn't help you because the children can turn out differently from what they feel is right on their own part.

Educating children is not from an early age, but when you choose a life partner who you will make your wife and mother of your children, because for a child, home is his first school and a mother is his first teacher. Therefore, before getting married, it would be better for us to be wise in choosing a life partner, because marriage is not temporary but once in a lifetime. But on the other hand, we also shouldn't be selfish, where we want to have a good life partner, but we ourselves don't try to qualify ourselves to be good future fathers too. And if you find that at this time we still have bad behavior, are not able to control ourselves and our emotions well, and still like to spend a lot of money on things that are uncertain (gambling), then slowly get rid of these bad characteristics and behavior, and continue to try to become a better person.

If it is very true, when a person gives himself to the bears by not giving himself to his children, he turns out to be irresponsible, that is why there are now so many youth full of drugs and debauchery in the world that one should not take responsibility , that is a mistake. of parents, when a child or a minor under 18 years of age is under the guardianship of their parents, parents must do more than that of a police officer, they must supervise absolutely everything, because as parents we must have rights over them, and in That is the education they receive at home, the values they should have and above all the things that are framed so that they can be men and women who Contribute to the world, then everything starts from home, if the Children are if they are not given the required Attention , through the web, through friends, they will find it and take it without a doubt, otherwise if we focus on neglecting them, we cannot complain after any kind of thing happens, including tragedies.

I got your entire idea on this, which i could as interpreted as this, there are things we cannot do without, even though they cost us, we don't mind as long as gambling is one of those things that we found pleasure in doing, but we may try to restrict our children from it because they may get the whole idea wrong and misbehave at the cause, gambling is what we have to understand right before starting, because there are things we have to bear in mind concerning it as well as things to avoid, the kind of mistakes we made, we may not allow our own children to follow after same by doing the wrong things except they are completely independent on their own.

I have never allowed my child to be involved in the gambling industry and have never given permission for him to gamble, for any reason.
My principle is that my child must not be in the same position as me, he must be superior to me and the bad things I do must not be known to my child, including gambling.

When talking about stopping gambling, maybe I don't know at what age, the point is that I stopped gambling when I couldn't do it anymore.

There is, I have forgotten where, what is clear is that I was satisfied at that time when I won.

Don't know, what am I missing.

I love this questions and I'll give my opinion about them. Well, for the first question I think the general age for gambling in most countries is 18+ which is an adult age, when the child gets to that age, they have a right to make their own choices and as a parent I won't force my child in making or quitting any decisions rather I'll guide them to make the right decisions and advice them when I think they're making the wrong ones.

 Well as for the age of quitting gambling, i don't think there's any age for that, an individual is expected to quit when they're not benefiting from it. Well for the third question, I don't gamble very often but I've made good profits from it, especially from sports betting since I follow football games. No not really, I don't take gambling as my major source of getting money I have other major sources of income and I only gamble for entertainment or when my favourite teams are playing and if I when I smile and when I lose I don't get very emotional cause it expected, you either win or lose.

1. Honestly, I hope my child doesn't become a gambler. That's not really a good thing. I mean gambling has a high risk of addiction. I think it's the same as cigarettes in that I don't want my child to become a smoker. If I had to say permission then I never allow my kids. Sorry if this is not the right answer.

2. I am not a gambling addict. So sometimes I play, sometimes I can take a break for a few weeks.

3. Gambling is the same as alcohol or cigarettes. It will give me satisfaction and stress relief. Winning the jackpot might have a good impact on my finances because I don't have to use my salary to make a deposit. But I have never made a withdrawal from the casino.

4. I don't have an answer for this. Sorry.

1. I will try to make it more interesting for my child to spend his free time in other entertainments than gambling.

2. Difficult question, as it is more difficult to give up gambling than it seems.

3. I have been gambling for more than half of my life. I can't say that it has led me to any problems, but to be honest it hasn't produced any noticeable results.

4. I don't think that if I didn't gamble something would change in my life.

This kind of awareness is necessary, not considering gambling as the main income or becoming addicted because of gambling,
so that the initial purpose as entertainment will not make gambling the main source of income.

Gambling is indeed a means of entertainment for some people,
but for those who are too addicted will make gambling as income and become their main reason why they intensely do gambling.

There is not even a guarantee whether they will continue to win or even lose.
Because the risk of loss will be greater when no full control on financial management is used

Setting an age for kids to start? It's more about teaching responsibility than picking a number. Quitting? It's about recognizing when it's becoming a problem. As for satisfaction, it's hit or miss, but managing expectations helps.

This particular of your I think about the gambling have to do with understanding and the teaching your offsprings gambling is something that is not encouraging and before you come imported the knowledge of gambling to a children I think that there was to be up to age is not supposed for a gambler to come up with its own biological children also be a gambler at the tender age I don't think that from my own perspective it is right and it is well emulate from my own perspective in gambling, a gambler suppose to understand the protocols not to extend to its families

May be that time when I will have no right to stop them. I mean when they will be not in under age when they will learn their money management and of course when they will able to earn by their self. In case of my pocket money, I will never allow them to play gambling. When they have to also know the key word, "gambling what you can afford" before starting their  earning by own self I don't thing they afford to play gamble.

In those age when I won't be be able to afford money for gambling and also as well as mentally healthy position, because I think their is nothing wrong to play gambling if a man in a mentally stable position and also can afford to lose the amount what he want to bet.
We are human and I think until we die, no matter how much wealth we own in the world, we will not reach our satisfied level, in that case, when we win a bet or jackpot of a large amount, we will say that another person has got more than that.

I'm surprised that some are picking letting their kid start gambling by 18. Personally I wouldn't encourage my kids in that direction but if they do
I can atleast offer some advice.

2. Not really a chronic gambler so can stop anytime I want. Besides life itself is a gamble. You can only stop gambling or taking a gamble when you die.

3.Humans are insatiable but there have been times where I experienced temporary joy from winnings but would be yearning for more and we all know how that normally ends

4. I don't know, I think I would have had more funds to invest in Bitcoin but we can cry over spill milk. The experience has made me who I am today.

Most parents don't even know if their kids have started gambling. The beginning of gambling lifestyle they tend to hide it more especially from their parents. I don't think parents have any power to decide when their kids should start gambling because most of them  don't even play gambling from the house.

It is better for a child to start playing gambling at the age that he can afford money for himself. When children starts paying gambling at a very tender age it usually make them to do dangerous things that can affect them.

I don't even think any parents will advice his/her child to start playing gambling because parents know the side effects of gambling which they would want to protect their kids from it.

Teaching responsibility is very much important than just trying to want to wait for a particular age before granting permission because even if the child gets to the age where it's presume they are adults enough and can be able to take care of their needs and even going ahead to taking responsibility for their actions and inaction, without the right advise and directions from the beginning, there bare chances these kids may still not be able to get their lives fixed well enough to be able to know how to stay in control and fix their habit if it's becoming of a Concern in school.

Self control and responsible gambling is another thing that need be taught to them that's if you are hoping to teach them or you are seeing the fact that they are getting interested even without calling their attention to it. Most gamblers are definitely not even fully able to fix it these habit of theirs so hey are sure they wouldn't want to pass it on to their kids,. It's very important to know when to quit nas that way you will be able to take care of family and yourself because .

Allow is a bad concept, children need to be prepared for normal events in life and gambles are a normal thing to encounter.  I dont see how you are better treating a children by pretending a risk does not exist then letting them deal without alone without any guidance first.   People have the false perspective they can control everything which is unfortunate because that is not life.

No need to give up normal levels of gambling, play when you feel like it and have time to do so.   Never overplay because it'll not do much good or be much fun in my experience.

Satisfying level would be just gambling as a game for fun, ideal is to find a game you like then the loss is less if any.

I think I'd think less without gambling and considering all odds etc.  Play nothing instead of a game and you are less capable surely so thats a loss.

I am not a person that gambles enough to call myself a gambler. I do not gamble often, and I do not feel like I am missing anything because whatever the benefits from gambling, I get my own from through other means.
If I start thinking that I'm missing something by not gambling that thought can drive me to become a gambler because I will tend to want to gamble more putting myself at the danger of addiction.

The biggest fear of parents is that their children get out of control with the game, because one of the things that children have is not to be very afraid when playing, sometimes a young person is not in control of everything, they have no obligations , family or something like that, which makes one much freer and capable of generating any type of strength to face very great dangers, this is something that is characteristic of every young person, therefore in a casino a young person, not It has many restrictions and that can mean that any danger such as losing money does not affect it, so you have to teach it the value of money so that it sees that you have to be more careful when gambling.

Although we cannot look out for the kids 24/7, we should be accountable for where they're and what they're doing at every point in time, most especially when they're still underage. I don't also advocate for children learning gambling from their parents, there are several good norms you should expose them to rather than gambling activities. Parents shouldn't gamble in front of their kids because these tiny legs are natural scanners, they absorb every energy around them both positive and negative. Being young, they can't totally differentiate the good ones from the bad ones, especially when they copy it from their parents.

When they're of age and choose to gamble, its the parents duty to guide them to gamble in moderation and learn emotional control in gambling to prevent addiction and serious funds loss.

1. See a child should never be taught to gamble from an early age and as a guardian should never encourage his child to participate in gambling. By making him aware of his academic education from an early age, surely at some point the child will understand the importance of education and develop a negative attitude towards gambling. As a guardian I will never encourage my child to participate in gambling.

2/3. It is not possible to predict anything about the satisfaction level of gambling. Some people lose huge amount of money in gambling and later control themselves completely from gambling. In my case if it were to be imagined I would involve myself in gambling after finishing my academic career and working life and would need gambling to pass my solitary time later in life.

4. As I have not involved myself professionally in gambling so far I do not regret any achievements at the moment. But sometimes I bet two or four dollars on sportsbetting and if I lose I feel a little bad. But my regret is not too big as my gambling amount is not too big.

I believe that children should be educated from an early age about finances, the value and importance of money, about responsibility and especially: "Money is not the solution to everything." That said, I would only allow it after 16 when she is able to control her feelings and impulses more adequately.

I haven't abandoned it yet, but a conscious game doesn't need to be abandoned.

I play for fun, I am quite satisfied with my bets even without making a profit.

I have never stopped doing something or made the game a priority, there is nothing I regret.

we're talking about kids here; they're not little adults, right? They're impressionable, they're learning about the world by watching us. Sure, you can't keep an eye on them every second, but the things we do, the things we normalize around them, that sticks. Gambling in front of them? That's sending a message, whether you like it or not. They don't get the risks, they don't understand addiction; to them, it's just something adults do

The real work, the tough work, comes later. When they're older and making their own choices, that's when it's about open conversations. It's about teaching them balance, about understanding that losing is part of the game, about controlling their emotions; those are life skills, not just gambling skills. Our job as parents isn't to shield them from everything, it's to teach them how to navigate the world, the good and the bad

This question sounds strange like why would you even want your child or children to gamble in the first place? It is good for your children to know about gambling so that they won't be misled by friends or peer groups outside but allowing them to play gamble is very bad at a very young and tender age. Gambling is not bad but never allow your children to play gamble because if they do you will find out that they will be devoting most of their time in gambling and disregard other life objectives because they will think it is an easy way to make quick wealth if they play consistently.

As parents, we all know the harmful effects of gambling, we have witnessed the losses that gambling causes, and we have even lost money because of gambling. Therefore, I will never teach or encourage my children to gamble. I will completely ban them and monitor them as closely as possible while they are still with me. When they are grown up and can manage their own lives, we have the right to decide everything. They can gamble or continue to say no to it, it's up to them.

Has anyone become rich through gambling? I have seen many people become rich through high education, have good jobs, become rich through investments...but I have never seen anyone become rich through gambling. So for me, I would not encourage gambling to anyone especially children.

Maybe he wants to knows if some people allows their children playing gambling at their ages. But if he thinks that allowing their children to playing gambling is not the right thing for them, he will not do that because that can makes their children becomes addicted to gambling in their ages and can makes their children lives ruins and will gives a bad impact to their family. He must not allows his children playing gambling in their ages because that will be too risky for their children. He can asks their children doing other activities which will not harms their lives so their children can knows that playing gambling can makes them lose their money and can becomes addicted to gambling. Parents must teach and explain them to thinks about the risks of playing gambling and what bad thing they can gets for their lives. If they can explains the bad sides of gambling to their children, they will not trying to playing gambling because they already knows the risks.

     -   To your first question, as a parent of my son, my son will not be allowed to gamble; in short, I don't want him to learn it or try it. It's true that I was the only one who learned to
gamble in my family, although I'm not a gambling addict.

But for other children, maybe if they learn how to gamble, they should be adults, because it's not really good for minors to gamble. That's the truth; it's better for them to enjoy their childhood instead of spending it on gambling.

I assume you didn't understand the question the OP asked. His use of children in the question doesn't mean underaged children but offspring who have reached gambling age. Your child will always be called your child regardless of his age. Of course, the majority of parents would not want to introduce gambling to their children at a tender age because it violates the law of many countries which the gambling age is generally 18 years and above. OP was trying to know at what age (within gambling age), you would want your children to start gambling.

Just as you stated it is important to expose your children to gambling so that they would be able to gain proper understanding instead of getting wrong information from social media and peer groups. I prefer that my children choose other forms of entertainment than gambling. They used to choose music, sports, or writing and forget gambling because its addictive tendencies are harmful.

At first every parent does not usually want their children to gamble but it does so happen that when the child comes of age, he will decide what is good for him and what is not. Your parents might also be sounding this way to you when you were a kid but here you are not only a gambler but also wearing the signature of a gambling company and promoting same in this big platform. Most of us have similar story to tell and it will not stop with us.

Your major job as a father is limited to guiding and protecting the children from gambling and other habits when they not yet up to the age of making their decision and taking responsibility for their decisions. When they grow up, they will chose their path.

1. Maturity in human is at a certain stage when a person is  responsible for he/her actions and I will not just use the age limit whereby an under age should not bet except he/she is an adult like 18 and above. I still disagree cause kids nowadays in their 18 can't even take responsibility and I don't expect such from any kid so from my opinion my child will gamble when he/she is responsible for their actions and decision

2. Anytime but I don't think I have a specific time or age cause I can literally stop gambling now or later or whenever so it's just a lead and I think this is not so necessary

3. At first gambling habit had a negative impact when I just started and I sometimes get angry with the way I gamble with any little opportunity but ever since I get to understand about gamble win, I'm satisfied with my win and game but when it comes to lose definitely everyone will have same opinion, no one is expected to be happy after a lose

4. not a single thing

It is clear with that, according to me, no parent wants their child to be involved with gambling, let alone addicted to it. But with the current development of technology that helps online gambling which is increasingly easy to recognize also because of the many gambling advertisements that are spread, it makes it easier for everyone who is accustomed to using cellphones to get to know online gambling. Because I am sure that not only adults, all people who use cell phones must be familiar with social media, therefore they can easily recognize online gambling with the many advertisements spread on social media.

The duty of parents is of course to educate their children with good direction and upbringing, as well as providing supervision and attention. But for supervision, of course, it will not be full for a day, because parents must have other activities whether it's working or hanging out with friends. The environment will direct them in their relationships, right what you said when they grow up they will choose their own path and relationships by determining whether it is good or bad.

I will not pray to my ancestors that any of my child don't get an eye for gambling, I don't know the reality of this happenings seeing that am a gambler but a responsible one for that matter. My wish for any of my child not to gamble at all is not because I view gamble to be of a bad or evil phenomenal but that I fear if such a child could have the discipline to gamble responsibly all the way in  all situations that result.

I before now have had the thought of retiring from gamble in the future but if am to be sincerely I just don't know at what age only that I know I will quit.

Satisfying level? According to Maslow in his theory of needs he postulated that the satisfaction of one need leads to the pursuit of higher need. And this is just similar with all gamblers, there's no satisfying level and this also apply to responsible gamblers, we all want to experience a much better satisfaction than the previous we have had, and this in extension also has to do with how much profit we are making too.

I don't know!

Upbringing plays a great role in shaping the future of a child and what habits and likes they will have in their lives when they grow older, it means that your children will grow up doing things that you let them do when they are young. If you allow them to get involved in gambling or any other potentially harmful habit, they will grow up and do those things as adults, so parents always need to make sure that they keep their children away from such things.

If a parent gambles, they need to make sure that children aren't around when they are doing that, they should also make sure their gambling doesn't have any direct effects on them like losing and then getting angry and scolding the children or the partner in front of them which can have negative effects on them.

First of all, it’s before it’s the whole family is gambling and secondly, it is very risky to experience such a thing because they will end up losing a lot I am sure of that, but any situation We are by the shit opinion together and understand what they are doing. They will definitely experience a lot of Wini. Yes, I know when I am advance. I will be so careful consigning the kind of money I come for it, but I will always come back to my old age, even when I have aged I will always come because it’s for Phone to me and I will stop anyone from coming out of my children as long as they are above 18

Firstly I don't think it's a nice move to expose kids to Gambling activities let alone allow kids to gamble. I don't think that's kid who puts in too much interest into Gambling at a very young age will end up a responsible gambler. Also Gambling is something I have noticed that most of the time, younger adults tend to put in more interest into than older people . This is because, most of the time as gamblers grow older some tend to gradually lose interest in Gambling activities probably because they already put in a whole bunch of time into it during their earlier days.
As for the third question, I believe it has a strong relationship with a gamblers Gambling win. Sometimes the most common impact gamblers feel is usually when they hit a nice prize or jackpot and they end up spending the money on something nice and important to them .

Setting age for kids to start should also not be for children who don't know their left and right, the age for children which could be classified as kid qualified to teach such are those who know their left and right and can be able to do thing on their own even when they are not up to the age. 
 
Like kids who are above 8–12 years old, they are smarter than we can ever imagine, so it's best we teach them how to go about gambling while warning them at the end not to engage in it until they reach a certain age, using the risk involved and regulatory violations as reasons for them not to engage in gambling until they are off-age.

I won't mention gambling to them at that age. Well, if they happen to discover that, then that's the time that I'd be stepping in.

I know that there are good implications of introducing them while they're young so they will know what to do and how to avoid it.

But that's not what I am thinking, if I mention that to them because of how curious their minds are at that age, they're going to do something in finding out why I've mentioned it to them to avoid it.

There are things that children from 8 to 12 years old should not be taught Because it would ruin their Childhood and that is something that is not fair, that is why when a person tries to open a child's eyes too much it is going to Hurt them, I think that every child needs to go through all its stages , we cannot anticipate them because that is not something Healthy and that is Something that should not be done, it is better that if they are games of chance you know them but that they play From the age of 18 it is the best now when they are more mature in what they do, the rest would be completely crazy, and I do not agree with them getting ahead of themselves in Doing things like that.

As much as possible, I don't want my son or anyone in my family to learn gambling. That's right, I'm the one who gambles once in a while. That's why, of course, we don't hold them to their choices about what they want to do. As long as they know what they are getting into, they know and understand its negative impact.

And the common the usual age that should be at least 18 yrs. old. It's not applicable to minors, and it's not good to look at it because they're still gambling; there's a high chance they'll become addicted to it for sure in the end.

Why the hell would the question 1 be a thing? That's not something that you have no control of and even if you catch your kid gambling at a young age, you're probably going to scold him and then that's it, you will see your kid gambling even more than ever, that's the thing with this one. I don't think that not allowing them to gamble is a difficult thing to do anyway, it's something to do with self-discovery so I'm not sure what you would get out of it, you will only make a good liar when you restrict them. Question 2 is a bit subjective but I don't think that age will have anything to do with quitting, you will just do it, that's about it. Question 3, there's no good impact that has been made in my life when I do gambling, I just lose money and have a short burst of fun for a little while. Question 4, I don't think I would've missed out on anything, it's not something big on a person's life and gambling doesn't really nourish anything within you so I doubt that I would've missed out on anything if I didn't gamble.

I've been there and able to learn gambling at a young age. I don't want any kids and mine to have that idea that there's this thing which is gambling.

To those that are saying that it's good to give them some idea about it so that they can have an idea for them to avoid it.

Kids are different nowadays, we're different from them and instead of avoiding, they'd dig deeper why you want them to avoid it.

This is because children today's curiosity is very high regarding prohibitions or challenges.
we have to explain carefully so that their understanding can be better. determine the readiness and age of children when they can reason about good and bad things.
we have to be more aware nowadays that children are less likely to be banned or ranked. they want to be understood and they have to get what they want.
Letting them find out for themselves regarding gambling is also not good. especially if they know about gambling from their friends. the process may be more difficult for parents or families to control.

There should be a balance on it and you're right about the latter part. But for me, it's best if I don't give them any clue what gambling is.

And if the time comes they're able to find out and discover gambling, then that's the time I'll start to talk about it and tell them what are the possible implications that might happen to them.

I would miss out on a reasonable past time if I didnt gamble.  I would miss out on practicing my maths, good use of my brain and also it would reduce my enjoyment of some sports that go along with betting Ive done.

I dislike the characterization  of gambling as a negative influence when thats not at all true until people start gambling money they cannot afford.  Thats the same problem every activity can bring, if done to excess and without any regard for the cost then you will end up having to stop completely.   Drinking, smoking, driving badly is all quite worse then gambling but considered far more normal and safe when its not really true.

It is very true, in the game things can be very easy to decipher if you have other things in mind, because under any circumstance things can always be given to improve, we see the game as entertaining, as an option for fun with the chance to win And that is something that not all games have, that there are dangers? Yes, do you have to have priorities in life? Yes , but the game is like that, it is not all bad, I know that many fall into addiction but if they fall into addiction it is because they do not know how to control their money, their emotions and they are weak to think that everything can happen quickly, the game is there That Seaber plays, a casino is adult fun.

I started gambling before kindergarten. I struggled as a gambler from 4 to 33. I quit in July of 1990 I am much better off not playing the horses going to casinos or playing cards. ♦️
