Concern about the the problem of online underaged gamblers.

[Fundamentals Of]

Honestly that's really a large number of underaged gamblers, right now you can easily create gambling accounts and play but of course there's a restriction in regards of withdrawal but the thing is by just signing up and checking the box that you are legal age, you can easily create an account. No matter how big or small their budget starting at a very young age would have higher chance of getting addicted to it and I think that's really dangerous.

Are there restrictions in regards to withdrawal? If it is a crypto casino then I think there are no restrictions. There are no KYC required during withdrawal so there is really no way the site can tell whether the gambler who is making a withdrawal is underage or not.

This issue is about parents making sure their children who are minor are well guided and monitored. They should know more or less which sites their children are visiting so that any sign that their children are involved in gambling should be addressed early on.

It is very important to keep close contact with your child in order to understand when it will be necessary to explain these things to him. For example, my daughter is not interested in gambling at the moment, and any number of advertisements and banners does not change this attitude. Perhaps when she grows up and begins to be interested in this, I will have to teach her to understand how everything works here.

Proper guidance is very important and I think it will also depend on the culture of your family, because in my country most of the parents didn't force their Children to leave their home even if they already on a legal age since we are family oriented, and parents are really responsible. Underaged can exposed to gambling easily because of the advance technology that we have right now, we can't blame them for that since we give them the access to online, what we can really do is to spread awareness, and educate them as long as we can.

Historically, my country is poor, so there has never been a culture of sending children "to free bread" upon reaching any age. Many families live by three generations in the same house and this is considered normal. But this leaves a certain imprint on the relationship (and I cannot say that this is bad with regard to the issue under discussion) - increased control by the parents and reduced freedom of action by the children.

Just like pornographic sites, I don't think online gambling sites and casino's can fully checkmate underaged users that sign up, and as a result, unfortunately i see the number of underaged gamblers worldwide to increase significantly by October this year.

You cannot blame the parents why the numbers are growing, parents are working and some of them are working longer hours to sustain the family this pandemic and even if they are working online the working hours are also long, children as young as 10 years old already know how to use a cellphone because of online teaching, because of this they can access to these gambling sites and porn sites

If children are up to 10 years old, we don't need to worry, because children that age still haven't shown valid data about what they access and what they watch. remember that their world is different from ours, they only access shows according to their growth like cartoons. It's still too far to access gambling even if it comes to gambling, maybe just games and videos of their age.

The generation is way too different now, some where engaged in playing but now with money involve. We should still be careful and watch what they are doing. Playing with money involve even just a little amount is consider gambling and now that everything online is accessible we must lomit what our child uses. There are apps where we can lock or use kid mode operation in our mobile to avoid them using our accounts if ever they also uses our mobile.

IMHO, Ads popping on android device or even on google is a targeted ads which means you will never receive it unless you are browsing same website or anything about gambling which an underage user that doesn't visit gambling will never receive that kind of ads if they never play gambling on there device.

This is the only reason I see why OP keep seeing the ads everywhere even if he doesn't want it. One way to test your privacy is to use a VPN and you will be surprised to see that the ads that keeps popping up to you is different. Although, there are ways to prevent you from seeing those kind of ads whenever there's a pop-up ads appear in your browser.

Google is your friend if you want to get rid of it.

Gambling sites are everywhere but it's your choice to stay away from them if you dislikes gambling. No one is forcing it to a minors because gambling sites knew that this might be a bad reputation if someone caught them letting minors play gambling on their platform.

We are in the information age right now, children are smarter than the old us when we were just kids. Kids that are 2 years old nowadays can open your phone easily if it doesn't have any password, what more to a 5-10 years old kids, right? They could easily navigate and explore the internet without their parents knowing, that's why it is important for parents to monitor their children screen time.

Everything is in the internet, just input a certain keyword and that's it, they are expose already to something they shouldn't have see or do.

It is true that today's children are very smart in accessing the internet, because now the internet has become like a basic need. So almost
everyone accesses the internet including children, and it should be a special concern for parents who already have children. Do not let children
access the internet for a long time, and always monitor what our children do when accessing the internet. Because there are lots of advertisements
and sites that children are not allowed to see,  especially adult sites and gambling sites are very dangerous for children. Indeed supervising children is
not easy, sometimes they are smarter than us as parents. Therefore, as parents, we must also keep up with technological developments,
so we can supervise our children when accessing the internet.

Today because of the innovation of the technology most of the child have their own devices and internet on their houses so they can search about their curiosity easily, and because of too much exposure on the internet and they read a lot they are now enlightened more about this kind of activities. This is better to have children protection to their devices and your internet connection to prevent getting exposed on this kind of activity. Of course as their guardians and superiors, we need to guide them.

If parents can supervise their kids when they are online with their gadgets, their kids will not try to visit unnecessary websites and focus on what they want to do. They will not try playing gambling because their parents have already told them that playing gambling can make them become addicted and can ruin their lives in the short term. The role key of the parents is not easy because they need to guard their children and make sure that they do not break the illegal thing that can drag them anytime.

Well, they choose to make an offspring meaning that they tacitly agreed to the responsibility that's going to come with raising a kid, I wouldn't say that it's the hardest job in the world, I mean a fireman, policeman, soldier and surgeons are much harder than being a parent to be honest.

You are right, that caution is the main thing and needs to be given more attention to children. As parents, apart from controlling, we must also be able to provide limits in providing pocket money, this is in order to minimize deposit activities to one of the gambling sites. But is this too far-fetched if children under the age of 10 have to go this far to access the internet? I don't really believe in this.

Completely not! But for a responsible parents they will spend extra time to check their children's activities. It's still part of their job to monitor their kids even they are all tired working. The problem with underaged gamblers starts inside the house. If you won't allow your kids to spend more time with their gadgets, it will lessen the chance that their curiosities with those pop-up ads will increase. If they know that the time is limited, they will use that to play or to watch their favorite movies or videos.

Maybe it's not all, but it will help in terms of guiding your kids, setting some limitations and make sure that your kids are following everything. It's not easy to protect your kids, but compassion and love will make it happen. No parents would like to see their kids wasting their time and energy on something that they are just ruined their lives.

These are targeted ads that you will get when you search for something that is related to the said ad. Seeing as you're getting gambling ads on your phone, you will of course get pop-up ads that are meant for gambling sites and such. What I am a bit concerned though is why you're getting pop-up ads even on your smartphone. This could be caused by haphazardly downloading apps on your device which may carry viruses. Don't wanna scare you but you might wanna look into it.

Honestly that's really a large number of underaged gamblers, right now you can easily create gambling accounts and play but of course there's a restriction in regards of withdrawal but the thing is by just signing up and checking the box that you are legal age, you can easily create an account. No matter how big or small their budget starting at a very young age would have higher chance of getting addicted to it and I think that's really dangerous.

Which is why parental guidance is important in ensuring that these underaged individuals do not get lost in the gambling spiral at their very fragile phase. We can't always put the blame on the establishments or the entities that set things up like this because they have a target demographic that the underaged people do not belong in. If need be, moderate the internet usage of the kids within your household to ensure that none of them are getting content that aren't appropriate for their age.

What are your thoughts?, What are the possible solutions to the problem of the rising number of online underaged gamblers

Restrictions from the gambling sites should be the first solution to go for. The government has to be involved to make the restriction active by making penalty for the sites not following the rules, as it is for pornographic sites so it should be for gambling during registration .The parents too can help to limit the underaged from gambling, this is not easy because the parents won't be there all day with the children.
