Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time

[maydna]

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.

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

With the growing of the internet, I am sure that younger people don't have any trouble to visit the restricted website and it's not just for gambling but for the other website. The younger people can have internet access everywhere, and it makes some of them curious about the new things and makes them visit the gambling site and searching the other games on the other sites. Besides that, the gambling site is growing too and trying to attract more visitor to come and play in their site.

Surprising... because from what I am seeing, the interest in gambling is going down. I agree that online gambling is now accounting for a larger market share, but if you take the overall gambling industry, it is having a negative growth.

Base on my observation, there are more gambling sites that are being created. People are spending at approx. 2-3 hours on the internet or social media. Some spend even more hours.

Online gambling is too easy to use. Just go online deposit some money thru your smartphone and you can gamble now. Its easy now to gamble since there is online now. Getting addicted into gambling is now easier because many can have access to gambling. For me, to prevent young peoppe into getting addicted into it they must know the consequences if they try to gamble.

Internet is giving us more opportunities  and gambling is one of them. With the help of annoying commercial and attractive suggestions of free spin of gambling sites it is just impossible to not try it at least once.

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.

This is what young people hate to hear most of all, when something is dangerous "especially" for their age. In most cases after hearing something like that they immediately try to engage with the subject in question, be it sex, drugs, alcohol or gambling. If we want to prevent young people from gambling addiction, we should try to speak their language, not the language they hate. Young people, starting from the age of 13-14 are no longer kids any more and if something is dangerous for them to do, it is equally dangerous for adults either. Is it bad for someone to become a gambling addict? Yes, definitely it is. But this is relevant to everyone regardless of their age.

It depends what gambling. I think that the interest in online gambling is going up and with some countries trying to ban or limit the availability of gambling sites the need for anonymous gambling with cryptocurrencies is growing even more.
I think that it is targeting young people more than it did in the old days. They can assume a fake identity and start gambling from home even before they turn 18.

That's why my government forbid bitcoin gambling because just like OP said that gambling attacking our young generation.
Since our people can't control themself and they are not open minded just like Europe, our government really take an action against gambling and crypto gambling.
If some country able tolarate bitcoin gambling industry , it means that they capable to understand their behavior against gambling !

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

We cannot control their mind, that's why gambling addiction is still increasing. Maybe they just love to take risk and afterwards become addicted. Playing gambling is not about how we believe to those article, we still doing what we wanted even if we all know the bad result of it.

Yes, with a good internet connection, I am sure that the younger people can access any website without problem. But I don't use to search and to play gambling because I know that I need to explore a ways from the internet about how to makes money, so I don't waste my time by having fun only. I suggest to my friends who are the younger people that they don't need to playing gambling in every day, but they can use their time to search for valuable things that could bring something good for their life.

When I was in my 8th, knew sony vegas, AE, photoshop, html/css. So it wasn't hard for me to hide my identity by using VPN and knew when and how to bypass situations like that, could gamble online and withdraw money by using someone's wallets I knew. So if I knew that, someone who is interested too will easily be enlightened, you need to just google.
Gambling addiction isn't a problem, it's your choice of life. Your tight mind inspires you to look casino as a profit source, then you get addicted. Have a fun from gambling, if you can't - then avoid, do something that makes you strong and happy in a healthy way.

choose a wise husband from a bunch of boys is a gambling
choose a school to study is a gambling
choose a boss to work with is a gambling
so, gambling is addictive…

How strange it is that younger generation are so super talented this days and still they fall in trap of gambling and cannot control them self from getting hooked to gambling. This is a dangerous sign as well because if people across world start getting such addicted then it would lead to high probability of they not doing anything other than gambling.

Yes, I agree with you. Everything we do is possibility and chance, but it's to get a good life for us. I think it would not be the same as a gambling game

I hope that younger people can filter what good things and the bad things that they want to do so they are not become bad people or being an addictive personality in gambling. Once they know the good and the bad, they can prevent from doing bad things and will focus on doing a good thing which can gives something good for their life.

I guess one of the reason why gambling nowadays are popular with young people is because it can be easily accessed online. I remember there was a time someone asked me for help to convert his BTC to Fiat because his account have limits and I agreed. When we meet up to turnover the cash, I was surprised to see the guy that I have a transaction with is wearing a school uniform, he is in his teens and I don't even think that he is in Collage already. He cant cash out his winnings in an online casino that's why he asked for help.

If we will see on other perspective, I agree with you. Our life is full of gambling or decisions but its not the same as the gambling game .

I think younger people must be educated with regards to gambling. What are the possible effects of it to ones life. Once you are getting addicted into gambling, its hard for some to remove it.

Yes, basically a lot of events in our lives can be likened to gambling, but gambling actually looks with a crude eye is only by using money at stake, we know gambling does not depend only on money because gambling can be done with anything as agreed. But the more technology increases, the more access to gambling can be easily accessed by many people, such as young people who continue to struggle in the online field, it will make young people continue to play gambling easily on the internet and as long as they have won victory and profits first, then they will continue to gamble because of greed that they did not realize.

I was never do some research to see gambling industry development but if this is really happend then probably most of people are more aware not to gambling even possibly some of them has been successfully life without gambling anymore but gambling will always be exist until whenever and nobody can stopped it

[minersday]

Also, dont forget that most of the teeangers nowadays just want money, that is why they put their hard earned money in gambling sources to get more, and they lose it all.

It is sad, but that is the way that the world works at the moment, and we can not change it.

But what are we gonna do? Just nothing.

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.

Young people like that are better than the young people of old,gambling has existed since ancient times actually I did not dismiss such things.I just think realistically where gambling circles are very popular with young and old.
