What age bracket is perfect for gambling

[dunfida]

~snip~ So I think it's fine to experience it by kids, however for me the perfect age when you take gambling seriously is when the time you're disciplined enough to manage your money.

No, kids should stay away from gambling, and a person should only take the experience of gambling while he/she is mature enough in mentally. Cause youngsters may take wrong steps by being curious and loss valuable money. A person should start gambling at the age while he realize the importance and the real value of money. Your case was different and there wasn't any big risk involved.

Until that kids grow up, they should not know how to gamble and give them time to enjoy their ages by playing many games and having fun without using gamble. The youngsters now become smart and capable of using a smartphone easily, and they can browse many websites, including gambling websites. Maybe the parents need to stay away from their children from mobile phones and ask them to play in real activity outdoors to distract their minds and become addicted to the mobile phones.

Actually it's very difficult because how can children play outdoor activities if there's no one can interact to? I mean, most of the children are now using smartphones to be entertained because most of the child stuffs like tv shows and such are now on YouTube. Parents will probably choose the easiest way to entertain their children is through smartphones and we can't blame if it ends up badly. Children need interaction with other children, as you can see in the show cocomelon, there are interaction and kids want those kinds of stuff. So they can't really prohibit these things nowadays because it's already part of the new-gen and the only thing the parents should do is proper guidance and words of wisdom to enlighten the children on how things work to avoid getting involved in such gambling platforms.

Due to this hi-tech era then probabilities of these young minds to get involved with gambling is high likely to happen because of exposure and on the ease when it comes to accessibility.
Parenting does really have a great role on raising up your children on a right way even though it might not be perfect or can be check out from time to time but making them
aware on what are the implications of dealing with gambling on young mind could really affect and once they would be aware then they are at least
having the idea once they do encounter it which means even if youre arent watching then they do know about it.

Easy to say but sometimes it's not the actual situation in reality. Different families live in different environments so there will be a time that parents can't follow what their kids are doing. There are families that live in a place where gambling is just around the corner so how come they can't prevent their kids to do gambling.

I would say, they just have to trust their kids approach towards gambling. If these parents badly want to educate their kids, then they can do some discussions, either during lunch, dinner or include it in their normal conversation. Now up to their children if they will obey or follow their parents.

I will still love to know if there could be a strategy in which we can use in helping the younger generations to avoid gambling until they are mature in all aspect so as to curb excessive mismanagement of funds appropriated for very important purpose

I still believe this job is solely for the parent; it's the parents job to monitor what their child(ren) do on the day he Internet.
The government and most gambling companies do indicate that age range vividly on their site, but kids don't pay attention to this things.

If parents can reduce giving their kids mobile device at tender age and encourage them to find true happiness in offline activities.

The gambler should be an adult at least to gamble as it will be legal for them to do that. If we talk about age bracket, I think it should be between 18-60 as when it is about kids, we as parents should never let them involve themselves in these kind of activities.

Involvement of someone regardless of its age will vary on how someone would able to find a way for them to get involved with gambling.People should really be

on the right knowledge and just like what others said that parenting will really be a big thing should really be focused on because if children would be
exposed on gambling then the will really be on that possible problem with addiction.

We cant guard or observe them 100% but we should do our best as we can as a parent.

[Hippocrypto]

When we talk about maturity with the involvement of gambling, I think it can provide awareness to the youth. There's  freedom to choose as age comes to legality as stated by the law. On our local places where gambling is rampantly happening, it's only strict on every range of age but on a registered gambling establishment.
Sad to say, those small time gambling or casual past time gambling bets was played by underaged young people.
How much more with online betting which easily be accessed through internet, without any guidance from parents.

What will the children learn from parents who gamble themselves? 
Parental control can only stop children from going the wrong way till parents are with their children watching them all the time but once their children are out for schools or colleges, their parents can't know what their children are doing. They may also learn about gambling from their friends and do it occasionally at first, then very frequently and become addicted to it.

[Silberman]

Gambling is specifically made for adults between the range of twenty (20) years upwards, because from my perspective gambling involves already made money which anyone that's not does not have another source of generating income are not suppose to involves in a such activities of gambling because of profit and loss involves, so for instance young adults between the range of ten to eighteen (10-18) years are not suppose to partake in  gambling because it can lead them to steal another person finance when the money is not available and if they are addicted to it, most especially when lose is bigger than their profit.

Age does not matter anymore.

Kids nowadays can earn money from various sources and can also gamble online without going through KYC. Offline it is not that easy but I have seen a few friends of mine in my younger days using the pocket money to gamble in offline illegal gambling sources. Age is just a number, if you are a minor you still can gamble if you know where to go.

We know that is possible but we need to question ourselves is this right? And I do not think so, most kids are not mature enough at such a young age to take responsible decisions when it comes to their money, to begin with we need to answer ourselves if they even have money that is truly theirs, after all the majority of kids that have some money do so because their parents gave them that money and since it is doubtful their parents gave them that money to explicit gamble then they do not even fulfil the minimum requirements to gamble as the money they could use for it is not even theirs.

If the children can not play outdoor with their friends, we can join with our children and I am sure that will attract the attention of the other children and of course, their parents will also attract them to that. We should teach them that there is a time when they use their smartphone or watching television, but there is time for them to socialize with other people to balance their life when they grow up.

Actually, I feel pity if I watch children just focus on their smartphones and ignore people around them without communicate or talking about anything. That will not be good for their psychology when they grow up because that can make them can not open-minded to accept other people. The children need interaction with their friends and other people to feel that they are not alone and have another shoulder to tell their feeling. Children need guidance from their parents, so they do not feel alone and lost in their future.

I think that is what the parents' approach is due to their children and no matter if the situation is different from the past, the parents need to take care of their children. If the parents are not busy with themselves and still care for their children, their children will not go wrong. The parents and their children's communication is the important thing that the parents need to do because now, many parents seem to forget about that and only give money to their children.

I think it is more related to the ambient you are raised in.I learned gambling at a younger age because for my good or bad luck I was born at a neighborhood full of gamblers.Of course age plays a role which the more you age in theory the more control you should have.For me the perfect age to gamble is over 25 years old.

It really depends on the kind of education that you receive, I remember that my father taught me about gambling games at an early age, he did it not because he wanted me to gamble but it was a lesson on probabilities, that is how I learned very early on that gambling as a way to make money was simply not going to happen for almost anyone because the probabilities are on the long term against you.

You have a really progressive parents then, I mean if I was to ask my parents about that thing, I would probably get myself beaten to a pulp. To me though, I would say that gambling should be allowed on the age where the individual can decide for themselves and have the ability to accept responsibility, it will be difficult to determine by age since people mature differently, maybe sticking to 18 will be enough.

In any country it seems that no parent wants their child to become addicted to gambling, then the parents will be tough if they find their child
gambling. I am like you have parents who cannot be discussed with all things related to gambling, if until I dare to ask about gambling. I will have
the same fate as you, so I can't discuss all things about gambling with my parents. This is a lesson for all of us that being a parent should not be
a distance from their child. It means being a good parent, you have to explain everything to your child, including the game of gambling. So that
our children do not get this information from other people, it may be that the information provided by others is misleading.

Yes, parents need to educate their children regard any subject that may come up instead of punishing them just for being curious. It's part of human being to ask questions and have interest for the unknown, especially children, and it's parents' duty to clear these doubts in order to teach how to deal with these questions in the right way. The lack of teaching by parents can lead the child to addiction, because as you said, if he can't find answers for his questions at home he is going to search for it through another people and there lies the real danger.

Also worth adding that whenever I try to add an opinion of mine to the table, I get easily lambasted sith words that shame .e and they also bring up that I owe them that I am alive and in my mind whenever they say that, I wish that they did because I don't want to be their insurance policy when I start to make a lot of money.

Would you please stop being a Fool and stupid? is there any Parent that will want His Children Addicted in anything ? of course all parents will never allow their child to become addict , But it is the Child decision to break His Parents rules.

I am like you have parents who cannot be discussed with all things related to gambling, if until I dare to ask about gambling.

When you grow old and become a parents also, you will UInderstand what are you talking right now.

I will have
the same fate as you, so I can't discuss all things about gambling with my parents. This is a lesson for all of us that being a parent should not be

another stupidity , Not all parents know about what gambling is all about because many of them are not gambler at all so how can you explain things that you don't understand?

So that
our children do not get this information from other people, it may be that the information provided by others is misleading.

\
do it when you become parent.

Well, it's quite a well-known fact(maybe? Don't have any source tbh, but it is more effective than carrot and stick imo) that violence is by far the easiest way to discipline someone, especially children. Some parents just look at the short term effects of physical discipline hence they don't really look at the long-term effects of what their actions would result in (or they're just that much of a bastards who don't care about their children).

Well imho, I'd suppose the parents just want to avoid such discussions to avoid influencing you negatively. Their methods may not be the best, but I think they want the best. Not that I can say it for myself, you have your own opinion tbh so might want to try to confront them instead of bearing it all to yourself.

I disagree.

It's not about the education you received, it's about your life perspective in such an early age. Let me explain it further. My father was a gambling addict as well, and whenever he came home, he'll beat me for no reason at all. So that's when I wonder why did he such things to me when I'm just an innocent child? that's when I realized that instead of getting back on him by doing the same thing that he does, like playing gambling so that if he sees me he would be pissed of and eventually he will feel the same thing when he was beating me for no reason.

But I didn't do that, instead I promise myself that I would be better, that I would not grow up like him. That tragedy that happened to me made me mature in a very young age. Therefore in my opinion, it is all about on your decision.

Education, perspective or decisions are the basic things that make anyone have their own views about gambling. So, whatever the reason, I think there is nothing wrong because we are sure to find choices and different views and that is formed from the education of each individual. But about what age group is suitable for gambling, I guess it depends on how prepared they are to take the burden or the risks involved, because basically someone who starts gambling will definitely start with trial and error or just having fun. There is no definite age range, because, consciously or not, gambling is definitely done by most people from an early age.

Education, perspective in life, and your status in life while you were young, these are the aspects that may enhance yourself on how do you look life. I am not a total gambler, nor being so engage in gambling but what i could only say about these matter was, even your father teaches you at early age, educate you about gambling it is you who would make a choice in your life. It may seem that engaging in gambling should have a bracket for perfect age and yes this might be tackled because gambling wasn't just gambling, it is more than that and the worst about it was the failure that might encounter which is inevitable that a matured person should handle.

I think most of the common education of the previous generation is often teaching gambling since we were very young, sometimes our parents don't want to direct us to make money, they just thought it was a fun game for the kids but unfortunately, the happy mindset weakens as we mature with the financial pressures, gambling as a solution of choice when we have no other way. Maybe such classical education should be erased in our own time, adulthood automatically teaches them about gambling, adopting too early only increases the risk of an addict.
