Crypto gambling sites should be careful of bringing eSports in

[KTChampions]

This is an interesting point of view, I agree with you. If we compare the attractiveness of different games for young people, then gambling is likely to be an outsider, like chess) It is very difficult to compete with entertainment content, the majority of young people are looking for entertainment and not earnings.

Those who play gambling are more concern about the earnings rather than the entertainment. Also gambling is played mostly by the young and middle aged people. They do find it entertaining as well and of course there is nothing more entertaining than earning the money while playing.

This is what I meant. And I conclude that young people make a choice in favor of ordinary entertaining games where they spend money without any hope of earning money (buying games, equipment in games, etc.) because they prefer entertainment and do not think much about making money. Therefore, I think that ordinary games are more dangerous for young people (if we are talking about addictions) than gambling.

If it's only for casino i'd agree that one of the entertaining part in gambling is winning money but it depends on what you're betting on because on sports betting it can still be entertaining even if you're losing.

This may be true for you but i never feel entertained if i am losing a bet on a match even though the match may be interesting and thrilling but i feel sad about losing the bet. On such occasion i wished i would have never bet and only watch n enjoy the match. 

Well, you should've decided that before you bet though it is really disappointing sometimes to bet in sports and esports since even though you are deeply analyzing the team and the possible things that would happen in the game, there might be some things that could affect the result and let the other team win. Still, we are betting so we should really expect losing too. That is why parents should really be careful on these things for their children.

It is very difficult to identify users of gambling sites without KYC procedures, it is very difficult to prevent underage users from
accessing gambling sites. So actually the gambling site provides esports betting options or not, it still doesn't prevent underage
users from accessing the gambling site. The best way should be from parental supervision, by limiting their kids from accessing
the internet.

Seeking new things is part of human nature. No way we can't totally control it.

Gambling sites aren't responsible if there's an underage using their site. That's beyond their control so even with lots of notices that they should be at least legal, there will always a way for these minors to gamble there.

Esports is taking the spotlight and many minors love the game. We just hope they will not go into a worst path when they gamble.

But if all addicted things are wrong, why not ban alcohol or cigarettes? A lot of people get addicted to them too. I agree with you that it's the job of the parents to educate their kids and not governement.

For the most part the government has lost the battle against the people which is why things like alcohol and cigarettes are legal, the governments gave up knowing the costs of combating the consumption of those products will cost them a lot more and they will lose the taxes they bring to their coffers so they were pragmatic about it and decided to make them legal, and now we are seeing the same process happening all over the world with the legalization of cannabis consumption for recreational use.

In my view, underage persons should have the right to own crypto. They already have the right to own cash anyway. But allowing kids to gamble has questionable ethics.

Crypto-gambling sites are doing business. Bringing eSports to their platform might increase their bettors. They shouldn't stopped nor be careful just because of kids involvement in gambling.

No one can really control if these kids will be introduced to gambling especially that most of them are enthusiast of playing and following E-Sports games.

Restricting them will just force them to think of a way how to gamble, even by illegal way. There will really be a time that they will be involve in gambling even without these eSports betting as gambling industry is vast.

It is more on how the kids are raised, how they can tackle this potential problem. As we are going digital, most of these kids have the access that their parents don't know about. So if they have good foundation, they will know how to handle these things and what to do with their money. If they have no access with funds, how can they spend much in the first place? And if they work just to earn money, then they will know the value of the money and should not be wasted in gambling.

It is not easy to prevent the kids from accessing a gambling site because when they can use their mobile phones, and we are not beside them, they can free to visit websites. They can visit gambling or porn websites from the advertisement because they will see other websites' ads.

The kids need to be watched, and parental supervision will be needed and necessary, so we can suggest the website that they can visit. Sometimes, when they are playing games, they will see the ads about playing gambling. Or when they use social media, they can see any ads inside their account.

That's true we cannot be with them all the time, we can restrict the gambling sites from our ISP but it's different when they are out of home and they carry their phone, what the parents can do is to educate their children about the risk of gambling at a very young age, if you have discipline your child, you don't even have to guard him.

I am worried when seeing the kids playing with their friends because we never know what they will play. Sometimes, even if we watch closer of them, we might miss something from our kids, so they can feel free when we don't' watch them.

I think the parental guide will be a must thing that every parent needs to do because we are too busy with what we did, and we might leave them for just a while, but they can do anything. I agree that every parent needs to educate their kids to know which is good and bad to think by themselves, and if they are curious about something, they can ask us.

and this is sometimes becomes the reason why they will change attitude and the worst is suicidal because of their activities
that they cannot open to us parents.
that is why i really don't want my Son to use internet without our permission and mostly with our side so we can see
what he is doing.

Minors are very prone to this game as they are the one who really loves and enjoy playing Esports.
And same with your statements gambling house even they've provide lots of warnings minors are good in bypassing
such rules, even sometimes there's kyc this millennial can still find the ways.

Mostly children learns gambling either from their Own family e.g parents,brothers,relatives or community,some are from the influences of School mates or class mates and the modern and popular now are internet,they can be attractive in all of this and might follow the steps that is why very important is the guidance and continues reminding about the badness of gambling and what this can bring them if not controlled.

That can happen if they can't open their problem to us, and I see many young ages end their life by suicide. The problem is not difficult, and perhaps, it's simple, but that person is not told to their parents about that, so they end their life while they left a letter to explain why they kill themselves.

Yes, when it's related to our kids, we must protect it but don't overprotective because they need space. We can try to be their parent, friend, and someone that they need.

Many of us let our wife stays at the house to teach, guide, and protect our kids with a purpose our kids will know things that good and bad. A lesson from moms will give them an understanding of life and something that they will use when they grow up. We can check their mobile phone periodically to know what they browse, and they did.

Like all the other here I agree that the parents should be in control on what their children are doing online, there are a lot of good E-SPORTS sites that kids can play and not those who that are integrated into gambling sites, parents should not introduce gambling to their kids at a very young age, or they will have problem when they aged as they will be hooked to gambling.

Parents can at least set their mobile phone protected content, privacy, and payment methods, so the kids can not use for something that their parents don't know. The parents need to explain that playing gambling is not good for them because once the kids become addicting, they can use their parent's money to gamble. The parent's control always needed to prevent the kids from browsing on the gambling or the other thing that they should not visit in their ages.

I agree, controlling the money is a good way to enforce strict no gambling rules. But there are also a lot of apps having casino games with play money. And the kids could still use their monthly allowance to gamble. It's better to supervise the kids more closely in my opinion. I remember when I was younger I was using various apps which where instantly added to my monthly phone bill. So my parents didn't really notice at first where I was spending my money. And only after a some months they noticed.

The backfire must not be against on the crypto gambling sites and any platform but should be on the parents side for the fact that the regulation with regards to what their children should play, watch, and learn must be under their guidance and not to be reliant from the restrictions coming from any platform that is present on the internet. We cannot control how the advertisement, gaming videos run on the internet on a random occasion so the parents must be the one guiding the kids on what they should and should not be in. There are certain restrictions that crypto gambling sites as well as other platforms put into that is stated for 18+ but such can still be boycotted by young minds for their own curious reasoning and that case must be up into the parents to take into control. Over all, the responsibility of restricting what the children would do will entirely be dependent on the parents guidance.

You are right that it is very important to teach your child to avoid problems on their own. And one of these ways can be a negative experience - if a child loses his pocket money in an online casino, then most likely he will not go there anymore. And I see that the majority of young people have an extremely negative attitude towards casinos. Still, now in the information age, few people believe in "easy" money.

If those kids download those games, they will slowly become addicting because I am sure that the games will be attractive, and they will play repeatedly. I am a bit worried if they use their monthly allowance to gamble because that can make them addicting too. There is no other way that we can do except explain to them how dangerous gambling is for kids to think by themselves, and they will not try to play gambling.
