Crypto gambling sites should be careful of bringing eSports in

[Janation]

Our world has changed already. The digital technology is fast changing and if parents can't cope up with this fast pace in technology, these kids will explore things that their parents are not aware of. And to combat this potential problem, I guess one way to address this is to foster them about the importance of money and how to spend it wisely. As parents can't watch their kids all day long, they need to find a way how to give them life long lessons that they can keep.

And if you notice, the incoming parents will also be used to these technologies.

Most of them are from the Millennial generations, in fact there are already parents at that generation and their children are now being exposed to technology at an early age. In 10 years span I don't think we should be having a problem with technology, since most of these parents know most of the things about it, security, regulations and other sorts will be the ones we should be talking about.

As long as they have access to the internet, I guess they would really know what gambling is.

As told in other threads in the past, the parents should be the ones doing their responsibility as the children's guardian, as their parent. It is not the crypto gambling sites that should be careful, parents should be aware of what their children are doing. There are a lot of gambling sites on the internet, and they can't filter all of those IPs to be children since as I said, they have access to the internet which can give them knowledge on how they could make accounts on these sites with or without KYCs.

I agree. Everything now is just one google away, and even kids with the age of 5 and up, they know how to use tablets and other devices, so it is inevitable for them not to know gambling unless parents would ban their children using google and other search engines.

You might say that there's a lot of way to search it on the internet and the solution for that is check their history always, and then you'll be able to know what stuff they are into. If it's bad stuff then talk to them nicely explaining they shouldn't do that again or they will be punish, simple as that.

i see . so gambling and esports are linked to each other  , i thought gambling sites are the one that can damage the reputation of esports but it looks like esports are .  because standard gambling casino do already have restrictions and so far its fine running but if esports are introduced there are chance that kids  can be found out gambling on them  .

this can also be the reason why esports betting isnt really that popular than sports betting because of the lack of support  .

In these 10 years, technology has grown fast. Many new technologies are invented to help people. And that technology for the new games also grow and evolve to the new interface. I am aware that kids now become smart, and they will easily use the mobile phone from their parents to play any games or browse anything.

If there are no responsibilities from their parents, I am afraid that kids will explore the internet from the mobile phone to visit any website. Usually, the kids will click the link that shows on the mobile phone, and they don't know what the links are.

The world is changing very fast and it is not possible to control the kids. One thing which we should do is to develop trust with our children so whatever they do, they should inform the parents. You really can't stop children when everything including gambling is accessible from computers and mobile phones.

i think some esports matches are usually used for gambling venues but that is only a few and only certain people and even though there are children, they don't do much gambling in esports, they prefer to enjoy the style of play of esports players which can be used as an example to be great person.

That is true, it's very hard to control children but that doesn't mean they don't need control.  Of course, you can't monitor them all the time and developing trust is very important but one of conditions for that is education. Children need to be well educated and informed how such websites are not designed for them and that they might get into problems.

Indeed. No parents would allow their children to gamble because no parent would let their child to have a bad future or make them addicted in gambling, that is why it is a parents fault if they are irresponsible for letting their child gamble or any bad habit. But I don't think games like CS:Go, DOTA2, LOL, and other violent games would result a bad habit to an underaged child, as long their parents would limit them from using or playing these computer games. So they could not forget their studies and social life.

Anything that is too much can affect them or push them into addiction. These games were too popular in my country that some were able to earn from it through streaming and doing live. I don't if it already become a problem to other parents that they children that some children thinks that what they're doing can help them to earn as there are young children doing live also but proper time management is need to balance the things and parents can guide them.

these kids still need proper guidance from their parents. if they have solid foundation when it comes to handling money, then they have no problem even when they are not around with their kids. sometimes it is the attitude that you instilled with their minds that will keep them away from being a gambling addict. the very foundation of their youth. but even if you, as a parent, did provide them the foundation, you still need to watch out for them, because once they are alone in the internet, you don't know what they are capable of.

Kids for the most part learn by imitation, if you see any kid that may seem to have some problem with gambling, alcohol or any kind of addiction at such a young age you can be sure you can track this to the family environment, this is why blaming casinos for this when they make all the efforts to not accept underage people on their establishments is wrong, however it is way easier than to simply accept there are people that are not good parents and they perpetuate their own problems on their kids creating a vicious circle that takes a lot of effort to break.

Its reality and does really happen on some families on where they cant able to guide up their children well but not all but there are families which is like this.

And later on they would really make some blame without even mirroring themselves if they are that responsible as a parent. Kids nowadays is much more expose

on such innovation and tech, its up to its guardian on how to guide them up on the right way.

The world is changing very fast and it is not possible to control the kids. One thing which we should do is to develop trust with our children so whatever they do, they should inform the parents. You really can't stop children when everything including gambling is accessible from computers and mobile phones.

Perhaps, what we can do for our children is watching them, and give the right information about the internet and something that they search, so they don't misunderstand, and they know the right. Developing the trust to them is necessary so between the parents and the children will have a bond to have a trust.

That is why we need always to discuss everything, including what they got in many ways. We don't want to see them get a problem while they access the internet.

In my opinion, crypto gambling and esports are related, so it is only natural that gambling sites want to join esports right now.
However, as explained in the opening post, esports users are mostly a younger audience, which is the majority of children are
underage. But most gambling site owners don't care about this issue, they think only profit. Therefore, the role of parents is very
important here, by monitoring the activities of their children, so that they do not have access to adult sites or gambling sites.

Very well said. The rules of parents and guardians are very important, young minds always find ways to continue whatever they've already been addicted with.

Sports gambling house are only after with money they'll not care about anything, they'll blindly ignore whoever brings money to their business. Better to make sure that your kids are being well guided/guarded.

This is a risk for all parents, we can't blame the gambling site or all platform who related to gambling. This is because the technology has been changing everyday, indeed in one side the development of the technology is really help for us. We can do anything with an easy way because the technology has helped us. But in another side, there is a bad affect that will arise because the development of technology. Like gambling and I just think that playing games (PUBG, Fourtnite and etc) are also bad for the children. They will be addicted in it, remember all the addicted thing is wrong right? So, this is about how parents take care and educate their children, if they do well the children will never fall to the bad thing and it is otherwise.

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. The thing with betting is that it's not limited to online or crypto casinos. There are plenty of small betting stores in my city where everyone go in an start betting on sports. As kid I was already betting as no one was asking for my ID. It's not just the online gambling community who has a problem with minors using their services.
In my opinion if gambling sites would not allow any esports betting there will just be other sites opening to cover that demand. If people want to bet on esports we should let them, as long as it is responsible.

Gambling sites in my opinion can perfectly well be held liable for targeting an underage demographic knowingly.
Don't get me wrong, I do still believe that sites for gambling on video games and betting eSports should exist. They have a right to do so and if governments don't want to allow them there's still bitcoin to act as an alternative.

But the issue comes when legislators see young people excessively suing these sites. These stories can easily reach the ears of those in power, and their 'think of the kids' mindset could effect the entire industry if new regulations are brought forth. Such swift action against gambling platforms was moved by a boom that had many youtubers advertising gambling with CSGO skins for instance. It was obvious that these youtubers had a very young audience so the targeting of that audience couldn't have been but deliberate.

Long story short in my opinion, best for eSport gambling sites to stay a bit under the radar, at least for the time being. That's for the sake of the entire industry, because even a few sites after quick profit could spoil the bunch.

It's not Crypto gambling that should be careful, it's the parents that should be careful. Though really tbh, I'd rather allow my children to be exposed to such scenes, especially if he likes games early on, but rather control him in a limited way. Maybe even join him, as long as funds are actually available and can be controlled that is. Back then, I used to buy a lot of microtransaction stuff, but most of it came from my allowance that I saved up. Now should parents be mad about that? When the child themselves saved up to buy something? Most would probably say yes, but I'm one of the others who would rather say no.

Not that I'm saying Gambling is good or bad, but rather letting them know of its existence should be rather positive instead, so at least, YOU yourself know that your child is exposed early on, and could guide him so that he could control himself, as well as to avoid making themselves fall too deep into the gambling game.

Teaching kids to gamble and exposed him with lots of funds is really not a good idea for me, because when they grow up they will spend money carelessly. They should first learn how to manage and how hard it is to earn money. So that, if ever they discover gambling they'll learn to limit themselves psychologically and to not get bankrupt because they couldn't handle the loss of bankroll.

It is not a good idea to teach children to gamble and there will still be bad effects after adulthood the current thinking is very different how to manage money properly even seniors still can't handle this, it would be nice not to introduce gambling to young children.

Even adults have a lot of addiction, especially children who are taught to gamble, oh really unethical for me.

It carries a much bigger threat message for future generations. I think the family is the first and foremost role in attracting children to gambling. Because at a very young age, parents are giving mobile phones to their children. On the other hand, those who have a little more power, they hand over the tabs and laptops to their children. As a result, not only are children more prone to gambling but they are also experiencing physical problems. So the first step is to take the parents of the children.

The possibility of a children to learn gambling that is just through borrowing/using his/her parents or guardians smartphones/computers is actually very low. Mostly that he can see on their phones are just what us normally see on social media. Most of the children with young age, prefer to just watch on youtube, that scenario, what should be watch on the children is what he is watching, if it is appropriate.

Gambling will not be access very easy with that young age children.

[Rosilito]

Well yeah, possibly but I don't think kids will be interested on this industry. I mean, the vast majority do not like too much work as they had to think where they would get money, learn on how would they transfer it to such platform let alone learning how to bet with crypto. It might be a threat but I don't see any plausible reason for them to go such length aside from liking the game so much. Yeah, they maybe had already crossed gambling stuff particularly in eSports already, however, I am pretty sure they would instead watch somethin' else related to a certain game they like that would entertain them rather than gettin' themselves stress out over the things about gambling; odds, etc.

Agree, as long as kids don't have money to be used in gambling, there's nothing to worry about it. That's the reason why parents are the ones who saving their child's money to avoid spending on useless things. Also, kids are afraid to lose money because even a penny, they're already happy with it. So definitely, they won't spend it on gambling that doesn't have good results to them because they are always hoping to get something that will make them happy. Kids aren't techy enough to bring themselves in a crypto betting platform even it is related to games because there's a complexity.
