Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time

[Ridwan Fauzi]

Young people can easily be influenced by anyone and maybe younger generation wants an easy money too so they grab this kind of risk.

Young age still have unstable thoughts, they are still looking for what they want and make them comfortable in a short time. Especially in gambling online in my country it is still rare to find a gambling addict until he really spends the money he has from his parents. Gambling is just a place for them to get rid of a slack, or just eliminate boredom. And also depending on the environment in which he lives, if he has friends with someone who is very dependent on gambling then he will be easy to become an addict, but for those who gamble just a distraction then he won't become an addict.

I don't think age has any effect on gambling addiction. Personally, I have an opinion that, people who have more free time are prone to gambling addiction. They just start playing for fun and eventually finds difficult to get rid of it.

Agree! there is no age restriction for gambling because they might keep higher in order to gamble, there are many addicted people who will spend most of their time on gambling because they find difficult to work hard. Through gambling they should it is very hard to make money fastly.

Then we need to tells them to not playing gambling too often because they risk their money in the gambling games. They need to know this especially if the younger people are close with us or he is a member of our family because we don't want him to get addicting in gambling. The biggest problem that they can get is losing big money without thinking about their future, and this is dangerous to them.

I think most of the people are addictive to gambling which there is no age restriction and even most of the people for fun not to make money. So always most of the young people are very addictive for for free sources of money and they find gambling is the best way to make fast money.

Wouldn't call gambling a free source of money. It is the riskiest source where someone needs a lucky shot to be rich while dozens of people lost almost everything...

probably if you aren't using your own money to gamble and you take home the win, especially if the gambling game is based on luck and not sports betting something like that, like lottery only one winner while there are millions of people trying to win it in hopes to be rich.

And where the money will come from 
Making a big profit from faucets is unlikely to happen. Loosing your dad money is not cool and will get the gambler kicked from the house 
Lottery is pure hasard and the worst thing to do ever even if you picked almost all the sites, there is a risk of loosing it all.

Although trying to make money with gambling is a stupid idea (and we have to make sure all young people know this fact in the first place), I wouldn't call it the riskiest enterprise. When you gamble online you can lose your balance, while when trying to rob a bank you can lose your freedom or even your very life. Also, there are a lot of shady businesses in the streets which are much more dangerous than gambling. Since adolescents are tend to do something risky anyway, maybe gambling is not that bad of an option.

That's logically flawed. Robbing a bank could be successful too, without getting caught or risking your life. The shady businesses on the streets guarantee a profit. If one sells drugs on the street, he's guaranteed to make money. The case is not the same with gambling. You may or may not.

Well some adolescents will see things like this : Gambling = loose your money = suicide or evolving in risky and shady business to get your money back.
Thus said, even in regular job you can loose all what you have in case of robbery without having an insurance... So yeah, it is complicated

Age really do have some effect even though you may see some adults behaving like small kids sometimes, so in a way one could say that maturity comes to play most of the time. However, we also have to understand that there is something they always call youthful exuberance as they tend to start facing life and having to make some decisions while learning from their mistakes, and in cases like this, being exposed to gambling can really make a huge difference in their level of addiction.

Yes, there is no doubt that even old ones could get addicted depending on the mindset they bring in, but any old cargo that has experienced life in its thick and thins will know never to pursue profit in gambling, which is one thing that is most prone among the young ones.

Since we are talking about very serious matters here, namely the rising number of gambling addicts among young people, I will use some statistics in order to substantiate my statement. According to the FBI, in 2010, 16 people were killed during bank robberies—13 of them were the perpetrator. Also, according to various sources, including FBI, from 76% to 92% of bank robberies are being solved each year, meaning perpetrators are going to jail. Now, can you please provide the sats on how many gamblers were killed during a specific year and how many of them went to jail?

The shady businesses on the streets guarantee a profit. If one sells drugs on the street, he's guaranteed to make money. The case is not the same with gambling. You may or may not.

That is absolutely not true. People getting killed or injured by rival gangs while trying to sell drugs on the streets is a common thing. Your profit is not guaranteed at all. Where did you get that info?

We should be very careful in choosing words when speaking about such serious matters. Just imagine if young people were reading your lines, what conclusions they could draw from them?

He probably got it from TV series or just from the general idea that doing something illegal will give you money. I think it should be clarified that doing something like this will indeed give you money but only for a short time. The problem arises when you want to quit. Syndicates don't let you quit the game. Either you stay or they kill you so you won't expose them at some point. It's really risky to do. In addition, if you're in bad need of money for yourself or for your family, you're not going to risk going to jail because that will result to you not being able to do anything to help your family. There's still a lot of things that you can do since a lot of people don't want to do certain things.

In my country, the jail time for drug users, and sellers is a lifetime. Once you're caught, you're better off dead. You're never getting out.

I think it is because of the online gambling. Young people use smart phones in the streets, shopping malls, schools and colleges and their houses they use both, cell phone and computer. It means that now they can gamble from anywhere. No time limit, no certain place, 24 hours and everywhere. This is the main reason that young people are addicting of gambling.

[deppil]

I have the feeling that  this is becoming more of a trend now with more young people and more time on their hands, they can easily be turned into such societal orders, taking up gambling.

It is because the younger generations nowadays are much more internet savvy as compared to the older generations, and they are also much more willing to learn about new technologies, since there are so many online casinos that are allowing the gamblers to wager with crypto-currencies, some of the younger generations might start to play on the site when they saw online casinos appearing in google search, they might get themselves seriously addicted to gambling without any self control as it just requires an internet connection for them to start gambling.

Digital currency makes it easier for young people to use online gambling. When a young boy or girl starts gambling from young age they become addicted when they reach to adult age. Then it is very difficult to quit gambling. The trend towards gambling is increased due to the much use of internet and it is not good, because gambling itself is a bad thing and is destroying young generation.

I myself have never seen a special thesis that says that gambling addicts are currently the biggest in young peopl., but referring to the digital currency that has the most users from youth and many online gambling that exist can certainly be interpreted if the most addictive people are young

Maybe experience can help us to stay away from addicition with the young people the experience of life may not be found at most time but if some one having much free time to spend they will be addicted to something for example if we are spending time with social media then it be our daily routine to check the social media every morning so which is an addiction so it same applies to gambling too.

If the experienced long time on gambling definitely they will be advise us to stay from gambling investment but they will involve themselves alone on gambling for sure.

Addiction stories are many on gambling as like that we will be able to find the loose fund completely from your pocket.

Looking at the level of addiction these days, you will tend to find out that most people that get addicted pretty fast are those who have the mindset that gambling can set them on a good course to get rich overnight and that is one mentality that can be applicable to anyone but I certainly understand this is something that can be more common among the young ones.

A reasonable adult who has experienced certain things in life, has heard different stories, and is wise enough to make decisions, will always find a way to control themselves.

Nevertheless, like I said, this does not mean we do not get to see adults that gets addicted too as well most times, so in a way, we could just say as long as you have the wrong mindset either young or old, you are still prone to gambling anyway.

I agree on you.With online gambling,young people are very free to gamble even how many hours they will play for it.As long as they have their own money to gamble,then they will not stop from gambling.Addiction will really develop afterwards knowing that you can't hardly get rid already from gambling.

Robbing a bank could be successful too, without getting caught or risking your life. The shady businesses on the streets guarantee a profit. If one sells drugs on the street, he's guaranteed to make money. The case is not the same with gambling. You may or may not.

In fact, I do not even think the two should be compared by any means. I would say your statement is even more logically flawed when comparing those two things and I can totally understand what betwrong is trying to imply here. He never said gambling is not risky, but certainly not the riskiest which I would not think someone in their sane mind would want to rob a bank or do some crazy illegal stuff and think they would in the long run easily get away with it.

It is impossible and that is even more risky than gambling. In the long run though, when young people are in their early age exposed to things like this, which includes gambling, the making of decisions without ending up on the wrong side is somehow inevitable.

That's how addictions developed, when you are into this activity without any limitations as long as you have your money and you can always refill, there's no certain ages that prone into addictions young or old who's really engaged nowadays are all prone into addictions, the only thing regarding to this matters are the time where young people can deal into online gambling as they've got more free time.

[izanagi narukami]

It's normal thing especially when teenager still have fresh spirit but the disadvantage is they still can't manage with rationally or we can say that they are based on emotion.
For me , it's very dangerous and will lead into serious manner.
Of course we can prevent that happen by give them a notice about the risk of gambling so environment and religion become the main aspect !

[Guideare]

No one can be blamed in today's gambling progress, it is true that gambling addiction is very much experienced by young people now they play as they please without thinking of anything beyond that, the environment greatly influences people's thinking, gambling will be very good if they use it with well and if not it will have a negative impact on a child's life easily, depending on how they work.

The reason is online gambling because young people play gambling from their bedrooms and their elders don’t know about this. They cannot stop them from gambling. Therefore I will blame online gambling for this. Young people who care for their parents will never visit physical casinos because if their parents do not allow them, they will never gamble in casinos.

I don’t understand how one can gamble for well as you mentioned here, besides I think that gambling can never be for good. When something is not accepted by the world how it can be used for well. It is not all about the mentality. It is because of the bad environment they have everywhere in their lives. Young people are destroying their lives in such bad things.
