Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time

[Harlot]

As long as kids have access to cryptocurrencies and their parent's credit/debit cards they will be gambling on their own even without their parent's consent. The problem I see here is that online gambling isn't as much as monitored as the gambling happening in casinos where you need to show your id every time you are suspected as underage. In online gambling you only have to click that you are above 18 years old without even verifying that you are one, this makes kids have a highly accessible way in gambling.

Gambling is indeed more popular among young people. especially at this time many gambling uses online features, from betting and money used for online transactions. so that nowadays gambling is done more by young people.

It doesn't have any age preference, every age has its own gambling preference so I don't think there should be "more" popular.

Go to the casino's where you can find prominent people spending their wealth and time after working hard with their entire life.

Since many young people are using the internet around the world, there is a high chance that they encounter how to gamble or anything related to it and they will be curious about it. Young players can gamble anytime they want since it is been done online and if they lose, they will get their lost again and there is a chance that they will get addicted if they are winning consecutive times in a row. I think young people must know what are the effects of gambling into our lives. They must be knowledgeable with regards to gambling.

Internet has actually exposed kids to a lot of things and it would take some inbuilt discipline and principle to not get caught up in it as a youth. Young people today are already getting exposed hugely to things they should not be getting exposed to and for the fact that they always tend to find it hard at times, when it comes to making good decisions about their life at that age, the likelihood of seeing them doing things that would affect them will always be there most of the time.

Addiction is something that starts with the state of the mind and that state of the mind as a result of youthful exuberance is something that usually goes wrong. Moreover we cannot expect an addiction to lead a person for performing some big achievement but being as a neutral man is also not possible after got addicted.

I believe the parents might need to monitor and ask the kids about the usage of their credit cards, if their kids are always maxing out the credit cards spending limits to purchase crypto-currencies, this might be a strong indication that they are seriously addicted to gambling, and they might need serious help to curb their gambling addiction.

Why they should monitor and control them. How the mobile apps and games are there to use even same like that gambling is the kind of option to make the young generation with the full of entertainment but one thing you need to spare the money and ready to take a risk.

When you ready to gamble you does not need to see the what is the age of the user and all. I see most of the site ask the age confirmation before you get into the gambling site. So family is responsible for finding what children are doing.

After recent changes to the merit system, I am trying to do something useful and contribute to the forum. And this is what I collect, hopefully it will change my merit.

This is an article about that, a gambling disorder in most young people
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5841330/
As stated in the article, experts and analysts know the causes and issues that lead to gambling addiction, they have clearly spoken about the dangers, consequences, and effects of gambling on the nerves and health of a person then there is a series of methods to stop that. But we are still here very clearly, the number is still increasing significantly every year, it has no signs of diminishing, even rising dizziness.

And the problem here is I want to ask why that happens? All the information is complete but people still can not solve the gambling addiction problem, the analysis is useless or our greed still dominates all.

Please let me know your opinion on this issue and if you have enough power, what would you do to solve this

Yes gambling is now popular to all young people especially online.They becoming addict to because you fine online everywhere.Maybe this is not easy to stop because they are free to do what they want.

Gambling is indeed more popular among young people. especially at this time many gambling uses online features, from betting and money used for online transactions. so that nowadays gambling is done more by young people.

I think this is why gambling become more popular among the young people because right now, they can play gambling without anyone knows and they can play at anywhere. And if they cannot control their emotion in the gambling game, then they will have a chance to become addicting in gambling, and like the old people who are in the gambling, they can lose their money too. We need to remind them to stay away from the gambling or at least we can tell them to use small money as the bets, so they don't have lost too much money in the gambling game.

We all know the level at which young people have some level of exuberance ruling over them and then being exposed at that age when things are actually not supposed to be in that lane for them, we always get to find out that a lot of times; they tend to make bad decisions. It is just more like being exposed to certain hard substances as well.

I understand this is something that can cut across all age though, if you tend to have the wrong mindset, but as a result of maturity, we know younger people tend to make the worst decisions most of the time. It is better to not even get them exposed to it than trying to remind them the issues at stake.

Young people usually have hard time manage their emotion and have identity crisis. They will look for ways to solve their problem which could lead to negative things such as gambling, drugs and other kind of addiction.
Besides, most people especially young people usually don't think about potential problem or end result which makes gambling as something good.

Please let me know your opinion on this issue and if you have enough power, what would you do to solve this

Actively ask ISP to blocks all casino website, shutdown all physical casinos and forbid all activity that could be considered as gambling including video games loot-boxes/micro-transaction. While they could find way to bypass ISP blocks, i'm sure only people who've gambled before and addicted would go that far.

If you suspect that a loved one is addicted to gambling you do not need your ISP to block those websites you can do it yourself and block those sites in your computer or your router, most people do not have the technical knowledge to avoid the measures that you set up so they will be unable to access those websites but the issue is that now the world is filled with computers so unless they have a desire to stop gambling those measures are not going to work.

Because eventually they are going to find a way to avoid the steps you have taken by using a different computer and you will back at square one, so at best those steps can be used to gain time and nothing more but it is worth the try if you are desperate to help a friend.

[Secionz]

I don't agree. I always see more elderly. people in casinos.

The reason is that new generation spends most of their time in computer and online gambling provides them the facility to gamble from their bedroom. Now there is no need to go outside for gambling and the elders will also never know about their gambling. That’s why the number of youngsters increases day by day. They do not understand what they are doing.

Yes, they can play gambling by secretly without anyone know and if they played for a long time then they have a chance to be addicting in gambling and we need to worry about them. So for people who have teenagers, watching your kids and don't let them in their bedroom for a long time and talk to them or discuss anything so they can open mind for something that is not for them.

The elderly people you see in casinos are more likely to have control over their expenses and have not much use for their money. And the daring of youth most of the time makes them prone to being excessive in things that interest them.

Yeah you are right and the reason is online gambling. Now everyone can gamble from his bedroom without the fear of their elders. In many countries gambling is assumed as an evil thing and negatively treated therefore they do not allow their youngers to gamble. They know the consequences of gambling and nobody wants to see their youngers ruining. 

It is simple to understand why young people become addicted of gambling. The reason is online gambling. Parents do not know what their child is doing in his room, and it is the bad thing in online gambling that you can play from your bedroom. It brings easiness for regular gamblers but also destruction for young people. It could not be stopped anyway.

That also maybe a reason why they are getting addicted to gambling because they have their smartphones at their hand so they may be interested to make some money through gambling but they are not going to have lot of money to spend for gambling so they even they get addicted to ot they may not much affected in terms of economically.

Youngsters are very proactive with any activity and they are the age that can be addicted easily.

But addiction doesn't really any have choice of age.

Yes, you are right, and I agree with you. The youngster has a big curiosity about something new, and they have a big passion for learning until they know everything. And it's happening too with gambling; they learn how to make money from gambling, they finally understand how it feels when they lose all the money. And if we don't take attention to them, then we might lose them too, and they can be addicted to gambling without any chance to leave the gambling games.

Well technology has its good and bad effect, not to mention all inventions of science has its boon and bane. Its on the person who is using it to decide how to use them and what to take advantage of or let the bad things take over them. Considering young people, I dont expect someone from a middle-class family to be having cash always at hand unless they are already in a job, in which case nobody is going to judge them or they are coming a rich family with a lot of money to "waste". But since they are adults they are responsible for their own money.

Either way it always the rich remain rich and poor remain poor. So even if they do waste gambling, the only people who are in profit are the casino owners and not the players.

[Fromse]

Because younger people are much exposed to negative things now compared before. Our culture is also different and the source of information can be acquire anywhere using different types of technology. With this, younger people has more advantage and gambling is the one they have learn through this.

It is true that most of today's addicted people are the young ones because we all know that the young ones are the one who are most exposed to todays negative things. Young ones are the one who spend their time playing games, playing outside and worst is playing gambling. They didn't think of the consequences they may take. I believe that parent's must be aware on this to help their children and guide them.

We all very much know that young people are very much addicted to gambling but we should first ask why young people are gambling in the first place, In my country lack of jobs have driven the youth to gambling and even underage kids are even gambling.

New generation is going on very wrong side. There is no brotherhood and humanity in today’s young people. They just need money and for that they want to choose the shortest way and online gambling provides then this opportunity. Mostly students play online games for gambling. Their elders do not know what are they doing in their rooms and this is wrong.

It is just because of the greed for money. Everyone in this world needs money but the problem is that now young people choose the wrong way for making money. They should understand that gambling is not for making money, but it will take all your money in just a few minutes. The consequences of gambling are very bad and destructive.

I think young people must know what are the effects of gambling into our lives. They must be knowledgeable with regards to gambling.

There are much more of the articles criticizing gambling than of those promoting it. Info on possible bad effects of gambling in general and on horrible consequences of gambling addiction in particular is not some secret kept from the young. In fact they can hear and read about it constantly, only they mostly ignore it because it is poorly put. Young people hate it when they here, "do not ever do this" or "abstinent from that". They hate it to such a degree that they can start doing something just out from spite, even if they weren't going to do that at all. In short, if we want less young people becoming gambling addicts we shouldn't repeat the same stupid warnings over and over again because this can make things only worse.

Thats right, right now gambling is not as difficult as it used to be, right now you can gamble with anyone, without any age restrictions, without identity and without other people knowing, by gambling online, nowadays there are so many online gambling sites that you can find, especially internet users most of them are young people, of course they will be very easy to access gambling sites

Of course everyone needs money to feed their stomachs but that would mean a liberal society where everything is allowed and everything is decriminalized.
Does that sound as a proper healthy system to live in? Definitely not. Thats why people have to go to work earn a living and then spend their money as they want. Gambling if they wish is a part of their choices and these choices is what shapes their lives.

People do realize that in the young age they may have acted impulsively and taken wrong decisions but there is always time to redeem those mistakes and start anew.

Well said, that how things should take place and even if we are young, we should not be afraid of committing mistakes as that will teach us lessons.
Gambling is not bad after all since it could give entertainment, if we abuse it, that's where the bad consequences will come, so regardless of our age or status in life, we should not consider gambling a way to make money, instead think of the opposite.

But once a person got involved in gambling, it will be hard not to 'abuse' it. Even though for example we just gamble for entertainment, the chance to be obsessed by gambling is big especially for the young people.
