Online gambling becomes popular

[l3pox]

Offline casinos are certainly interesting, you can meet new people who might be your friends or girlfriends.  but in this pandemic period, people are afraid to be there, this virus is very contagious, it is much better to play online gambling during this pandemic while hoping this will all end.

I think you're right - I'd be very cautious due to Covid and especially of STDs, btw do you know how any Offline casinos have under 5% House edge?
Btw you can go to the park, to the lake, museums, gamers gatherings, etc. Making contacts in casinos mostly with addicted gamblers is over my league tbh, gl to you for the meme, you made my day.

interesting how each person is unique
a casino wouldn't be the first place I'd look for a girlfriend haha
many other better options to think about first...

Online gambling can be a solution for people who still want to continue playing gambling and move from offline gambling to online gambling. It makes online gambling become popular than a few years ago.

It became popular with the status of what we've been through.

Someone who wants to stay safe at home, now got a choice to gamble through their homes. No need to catch the possibility of getting the virus outside in the casino.

It's more enjoyable and relaxing while at home.

The online casino really helps people who want to play gambling because many offline casinos are close. But what to be concern about is people need to control themselves because if they play gambling at their home, they will have much free time, which can make them not realize that they need to be creative and still trying to make money. Many of them suffer because of losing their job offline and if they only think about playing gambling, that will not be a solution for them. Hopefully, people are only playing gambling in their free time.

Online gambling became a trend because since last there were a lot of us have been locked down in our homes. But look at that chart, when it has flattened it's because the restrictions have gone lower and everyone is starting to go back to their old lives at least for those countries that have beaten or almost beaten covid 19.

Exactly! Ever since covid19 made people remain indoor and movements was restricted,people are used to Using their phones to do what ever they like,going to a bet hall where people are crowded seems to be achaic now.Online gambling has become the trending means of gambling now also because,it gives one confidentiality to ones gambling activity.

Using a cell phone has become one of the most practical ways to gamble now that many interfaces already support phones with comfortable displays so I think this will stay in place for a long time during the pandemic.
Going to physical gambling is indeed a lot to worry about, especially in the transmission of Covid-19, I don't want to travel at risk, but now it's really easy, everything is practical and we are at home for a long time, gambling continues.

For some countries that has good vaccination rate, they're already open but still there will be many that chose to stay at home and just simply gamble at their homes.

But gambling isn't a replacement for those jobs that they've lost, it's just a temporary source that they can do because it's not assured and they should also count the possibility of losing.

that also helped a lot, lockdown is one of the reasons online gambling became more popular for sure, and even casinos knew that it's the right time to boost their users, because now i've seen a lot of streamers gambling on their streams and of course most of them are getting paid to do so, they don't even risk their own money, and streamers influence their viewers a lot.

The challenges of parenting have always been challenging, but the widespread adoption of smartphones and the rise of social media have added to the difficulty.
How much screen time should parents allow their kids? And how long before it interferes with children's normal development? And what is normal in today's world anyway?

I recently read an article by Pew Research Center stating that two-thirds of parents in the U.S. say parenting is harder today than it was 20 years ago, with many citing technologies, like social media or smartphones, as a reason. As parents, however, I believe that should not be an excuse. It is our duty to stay up to date on our kids' activities, and we should actively participate in their interests.

Well, my parents never really cared about my computer hours, I just spent all of my life in front of a computer and now I am working in front of a computer thanks to that, I also gambled when I was way too little, shouldn't have done that, but I at least learned about it, everything I learned about in life was my parents saying "go ahead and give it a try" basically, whenever it hurt me I realized it myself, and whenever I loved it then they started to consider if it is a good thing or not, and allowed me to pursue my dreams.

Yeah, I am a bit older than Z generation that is true, but I am only one decade older than them and I have been having the best time of my life since their age all because I learned life by experiencing it and having my parents back me up with whatever I decide, if I failed I know that I could always trust them with help, not just money (although of course parents do pay for their kids) because I usually did free stuff on computer, maybe buying the computer? that could count but also psychologically always being there was the main thing.

I also notice this thing, online gambling becomes more popular than before when the pandemic started, it is because most of the gamblers now that are addicted to physical gambling have no choice but to play only because all of the casino gambling is closed. I am also the one who tries to gamble online which I am not really doing before but because of boredom I tried.

In fact, many gamblers are comfortable with online casinos which are now widespread and there are also many fair gambling sites, so I think many are planning to turn back to physical casinos so it is better to stick with online casinos, which now have many game options available.

Some physical casinos are still largely restricted, some may go out of business during the pandemic, but for gamblers who love physical casinos they will still come in any way but still adhere to existing protocols.
Actually there are still many choices, how do we in terms of comfort.

Pandemic has brought everyone into online. That might be into games, social medias like youtube, tiktok, instagrams, facebooks and etc. The lockdown has locked everyone not only inside their houses but has locked everyone spend hours and hours of time into mobiles on online platforms. Youngsters from age 15 to 25, are mostly addicted in online games, gambling and etc which is really diverting them to experience the real world outside.

The issue is that parents mostly because of their jobs do not have the time to watch their kids as close as they could in the past, I really think that when it comes to smartphones, computers and video games consoles some limits must be set, the amount of time they are allowed to use those devices is not important what matters is that there is a limit as it is not rare for kids today to spend most of their time in front of one of those 3 devices.

Your post is basically my opinion of how the Internet can be damaging for kids, since most of the posts here only focus on adults and how their internet gambling can be harmful but there are many children that are already addicted to the internet and even my own kids are starting to show signs of it.
I'm struggling to make them aware of the dangers that exist online, especially when they see other kids spending so much time on their devices. It makes me wonder - after reading how others have addressed the same issue with their own children, if it is imperative that kids learn about the Internet's potential dangers from an early age? Or, am I just being paranoid?

Although the people of the world are under house arrest due to the epidemic, they are involved in various online based activities. They're trying to adjust themselves with various gaming, betting and gambling site with incoming but they don't know they are becoming a real gambler.

It's not house arrest, staying at home is the key to be protected and won't be a potential carrier. It's done by everyone to stay safe and we can't do anything with that and even you have received full shots of the vaccine, it's still recommended to stay at home.
And this isn't just an epidemic but a global problem for this disease and called a pandemic. As everyone stayed at home for long and will keep staying, it is true that it's an adjustment that everyone has to be done because we don't know how long this pandemic will stay and and when it will end.

I really didn't feel much of a problem since my job was from home (I am a freelancer) and I do not like to go outside. However my wife on the other hand was a teacher when this all started, she resigned from work last summer, and have been staying at home all this year, combine that with the fact that she likes to go outside for any reason at all (it doesn't have to be for fun, she literally likes to go buy groceries, anything outside of the house is fun for her) this year made her quite crazy.

I do not even have the money for it (some bad projects I started causing me to lose all my savings) made vacation nearly an impossible situation but seeing how distressed she was, I am going to go into debt and still go to a small one week vacation this year, I can pay it later on in installments anyway.

So, even though we say it is for our health, sometimes mental health overcomes the fear of pandemic, there are many like my wife that reached a certain level where they may say "I rather take the risk of getting infected and still go outside just to keep my sanity" and that is in hundreds of millions at this point.

Goodluck to those ones that has come to such resolution, they are strong indeed. Down here, the Covid-19 rules and principles in public places are flattered. Only few corporate bodies or organisations still keep to it. Not that life has gone back to normal or there is a proper vaccination in place but then, people just can't take it no more. Its been way too long and it's now looking as though, you either get killed by hardship or the Covid-19 and the people chose covid, if there is anything as such.

Well, betting is sure to be popular, it came to people's aid when things was hard the most. Even when it turned out that, at some point during the early phase of the Covid-19, bookmakers had a way to fix and decide a game to ensure that the betting keep going on. A growing addiction.

yes, I think its important to teach them from an early age, but in a way that doesn't kill their curiosity about internet too
in the end it is a tool so you can use it in a bad way or in a good way

but its much easier to go a good path if educated since the beggining than in a time in the future after the damage is done

But it's difficult because the internet has a lot of things to see, and I'm pretty sure he'll find gambling eventually. The internet provides us with useful information, particularly for children, and makes research easier than it was in the past, when books were the only reliable source. The only thing we need to do is discipline them and teach them the do's and don'ts of the internet; I believe they will understand if they learn more about it. The fact that they have no idea about gambling makes them even more curious, so teach them and give them plenty of time.

It's better to guide them in their early stage as internet gain a wide access around the world, kids are more explorer they are prone as there many ways to learn gambling once their attentions being caught by this activities.

Always make sure that you are aware to whatever activities your kids are doing,
 
indeed internet can use for good and bad you have to workactively in patronizing your kids.

Advancement of technology is inevitable and the parenting style of prohibiting gadgets to the child isn't working anymore so as a parent a new parenting style that must be work on I guess is better to let them explore but always pay attention in everything a child doing. Today, children is very much engaged in technology and whether we like it or not they could learn anything from the use of their gadgets so a focus of a parents to guide their child is very much needed.

All matters on how you do handle your child because being a responsible parent would always reflect on what are the behavior that his sons and daughter have.If they were raised on the right path
then they would really be aware on things around even they would really see it upfront but since they are full aware on things then they would just simply skip or ignore and if they do tend to
engage then everything is still in control. Its inevitable for them to see those things due to this developing technology where accessibility is really as easy with simple clicks and ticks.

Everyone has adjusted to working at home, those jobs that can be done through computers and by working at home. But there's a labor force that cannot be sent home and it has to be in the premises of the company. I don't know but most of them are required to go to their job and company for the production or any type of work that has that kind of setup. And for your wife, I'm sure that many of the teachers have adopted online too, even if many of them are not really on this setup, there are now online classes. If you're going into debt then don't add another problem that might caused you like in gambling, do not gamble if you're already in that trouble.

That is not the only reason, you must understand that people were under a lot of pressure during this pandemic because of the lockdowns that we have to go through and many people were not ready to face such a long time being isolated from each other, so they needed to find a way to deal with that and many people choose to find new ways to entertain themselves that could only be done from the comfort of their own homes and online gambling was the answer for some of those people.

I would prefer gambling and losing some money but I would never install tiktok on my phone I can't understand how can people enjoy that stuff, it's full of cringe!

Nvm that, I play online games and is around the age you've specified above and i wouldn't call it being addicted but rather having fun for a few hours.
Gambling is however another issue where addicted people are always losing and trying to recover their loses.

[STT]

People can get addicted to tiktok, its because it only requires 5 second attention span and its set to music so its a pretty sure winning formula.   They get giant viewing figures and its probably very profitable advertising in that demographic but it could also be described as addictive in that particular way.   Anything at all that normally is fine even healthy can become a negative if repeated without reason, eating obviously can result negatively if overdone even exercise.   I've heard of a medal winner reducing themselves below 1% body fat till they wore even their heart muscle out and stressed themselves into an early grave in their twenties just from constant exercise and the endorphins that gives can be addictive.
   Addiction is certainly not the exclusive domain of gambling and drinking, its best to learn to step away and do other things on most activities imo
