Gambling Exposed to children

[KTChampions]

Yes, that's right, that's why the main task of parents in the modern world is not to hide the child from the world around him, but to teach him how to interact with it correctly. Obviously, the situation when the child does not gamble because he understands how they work better than the situation when the child does not gamble simply because he does not have such an opportunity.

That's how responsible parenthood  be like.

If you guide your kids the proper ways they'll grow understanding what harmed gambling may bring them.

Hiding or trying not exposed them to gambling is far better but knowing the power of internet, it's unavoidable that they might see types of gambling or they'll experienced it with some friends or relatives, giving them advance knowledge and guidance will lessen chances of getting them to expose much in gambling.

Yes. I personally have to solve these problems. My daughter is an active internet user (like all her friends) and it is almost impossible to protect her from any content, so I work through many questions in advance.
And to be honest, I'm glad that she, as a girl, is mainly interested in various girl games and blogs, it would be more difficult with a boy  May be i wrong, but girls are more inclined towards collectible games than fiercely competitive ones.

What if children imitate what their parents do, and that's usually not just from the spectacle that is used as a guide. Sometimes family, environmental or school factors have their respective roles in fostering a child's desire to be curious about what he sees every day. It is difficult to prevent the factors that motivate him from third parties. Even far from that, parents as much as possible provide an example that should be taught to children after he comes home from school.

This is one of the factors that a parents should be mindful because a child would think that whatever he/she sees that his/her parents doing was right if what the parents doing is contrary to their actions. Nowadays, children can get idea about gambling activities with the help of social media and internet and sometimes it is made to be free accessed in terms of tutorial or some sites are easily accessed without restrictions so the parental guidance is really needed to make a child aware especially in terms of gambling.

Even today's parents often let their children do this because they don't have time to monitor what the child is doing, because they are busy with work and others. This usually creates something that tends to encourage children to feel free from parental pressure. Obviously gambling for children is strictly prohibited and is not allowed to be accessed under any circumstances. even if it's only a demo account though.

You're thinking about it too much to be honest there are some kids who are already exposed to gambling even before the internet promotes it.
I for one grow up seeing it regularly gambling at schools and even in our own backyard.
It just depends on how people would control it I would be honest that it does affect my school performance as OP stated but I got over it.

[Smartprofit]

These days I'm seeing many Youtubers and Twitch streamers are promoting Gambling websites [Dice, Sports Betting] and Poker Apps.

I know it's ok to gamble for having fun and socially but I don't think young people should be exposed to this when they're in school.
Most of them will only imagine "What 'IF' i win 1000x of this amount and i'll be able to do this and that"

The first thing where will they get the money, even if they get pocket money and use that to gamble then they'll slowly develop the habit of gambling disregarding short-term winnings - if they occur.

They'll pay a huge price with the tension they'll have thinking about this when their whole life is ahead.

Children are naturally very inquisitive.  They copy the behavior of adults.  YouTube and other social networks are very authoritative for them.  This is a great danger ...

Children do not have critical thinking.  They are just beginning to learn about the world.  Therefore, there is a great risk that they will become addicted to gambling.  This is a big risk. 

How can this risk be minimized? 

Content filtering may be needed. 

At the same time, I am not a supporter of the introduction of censorship.  Freedom of speech is the basic value of Humanity.

You cannot refuse it.  Such a dilemma ...

Most times we neglect our children feeling the know nothing. They level of exposure the younger generation get access to on daily basis will amaze you as an adult. Most of this children get exposed too early either through the internet, from close friends most times even from careless parents. Any parent who will not create enough time to advice and educate their children on the way to go about their daily activities will only end up training all sort of negative addicted lads.

Once my kids hit 10years of age, I'm talking to them about gambling. I'm not waiting until they're 18. Funny thing is that most kids don't start up with serious gambling like racing and other sports betting but rather with the basic and popular card games at home and lottery tickets. And although online gambling doesn't start until these kids have access to smartphones and are exposed to advertisment and gambling websites, what starts as an innocent curiosity might soon lead to a lifelong problem.

As a parent, I owe it to my kids to watch out for risks factors while I talk to them  about  gambling. I try as much as possible to set up rules for internet use with them.

[virasog]

I think it's unrealistic to protect children from gambling. Almost every child who spends his free time with his peers at least once in his life has played money in a card game and it's not about upbringing. The point is that each of us gets our own life experience, regardless of whether it's good or bad.

Of course this is what happened but at least we can control our children's online activities...

I have always been a friend to my son and asked him slowly what he was doing today, gambling advertisements made me worried, children have high curiosity, I am very afraid that they will fall into the online gambling trap.

I believe that if you do this and can control what your child does, then it can minimize something that has a bad impact on visiting gambling sites.
As parents, it is our duty to educate children to continue not to fall into gambling, even though we have already entered, it does not mean that our children have to follow the mistakes of their parents.

That's a strange thinking that you yourself love to play gambling but wish that your children does not involve in gambling. Children usually copy the parents and if they found parents playing gambling, they will definitely follow them.
If you want that our children does not play gamble, then we should stop playing gambling ourselves.

[Woodie]

the only way that this will stop is if all the social platform or streaming platform prohibits their users or content creator from advertising any type of gambling sites or if the government prohibit gambling site advertisement altogether.

Before more young youtubers join to make gambling videos I think both the social media platforms and the casino owners should put measures to discourage them.
If the can ban them on both platforms it will be a good way to deter any minors from trying this out, and to ensure laws are followed if it is a regulated casino the regulator should swing into action and fine the casino.

until that happens you'll continue seeing them. the content creators that advertise gambling sites don't really care if their audience became addicted to gambling or not. all they care about is that advertising these gambling platforms will earn them some easy bucks.

Which is true, get the right people to advertise a product is getting expensive and difficult so these don't care how the get an audience which is unfair to the young ones.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

If that is about the video on Youtube and Twitch, many people can watch those videos, including the young generation, to get into gambling and play games.

Twitch has their own cathegory for gambling ( slot ) and cmiiw they not restricted age to watch those stream. unlike youtube they had age restricition and optional for streamer non safe for kids . now it's not a problem about the streamer. but to the platform which is not maximal in limiting their streamer content.

Firstly, I saw many examples that refute your assumption - the children did not follow the interests of the parents at all, even taking into account the fact that the parents deliberately tried to interest the children in something specific.
Secondly, the interests of children and adults are still different, therefore it is difficult to live focusing on the fact that the child will allegedly copy you.

[BITCOIN4X]

now it's not a problem about the streamer. but to the platform which is not maximal in limiting their streamer content.

YouTube also has an age limit for sensitive content that requires parental control. I don't know if streaming video while gambling is also one of the filtered by the platform but so far I don't think there is a limit. Streamers may be able to age their audience, but if the platform doesn't have stricter rule, then it's still possible for kids to get influenced by gambling content.

[Slow death]

Lately, it is very difficult to have control over the things that the children are exposed to, so the best option is that the parents are always talking to the children, explaining things in practice and the consequences. at least until today i haven't seen stories of children losing money in gambling, maybe i'm wrong but i think there is still not a large number of children creating accounts in online casinos

that's what  the problem and in the current conditions, parents be required policy and supervision of children's activities in accessing the internet, I think today's children are too smart to fool every age limit regulation applied by online platforms so they can easily register these platform accounts by falsifying their age and in my personal opinion stream platforms that serve sensitive content such as gambling or porn they should be stricter in registering new accounts or at least they require users to do kyc, because nowadays most streaming platforms are too easy for users to register and access every content using only goggle account.

If you see a YouTuber who runs a channel dedicated to young people advertising a casino or bookmaker, report it immediately. I am sure that it is forbidden by law all over the world to advertise gambling to children.
Such a channel should be removed immediately and the police should deal with this person. Nobody can do such things!

I agree with this, parents should be the first to be able to prevent their children from being exposed to gambling.
However, it could be that children know about gambling not from Youtube but they see adults gambling firsthand and finally do what they see.
Parents can activate parental control so that their children only watch content according to their age, not only about gambling but other adult content that is also not suitable for them to watch.

[CryptocurencyKing]

You know, steps are take  to most things that could be exposed to kids or should I say children as the thread says. In recent times, phones have been made programmable to come with parental guide or control. A lot of other devices have got that too. Unfortunately, I do t k ow as to how many parent are aware and uses this future. All thsee are put in place to ensure control on what is being exposed to children as there is only so much you could restrict publicly with little means of verifying who is clicking or watching what. The ratings come up but, you don't expect kids to be honest with themselves every time and choose not to view a content of interest.

Advertising is part of the business but then, they can only do so much as stating the ratings and thats just it. The rest is left for them kids to follow best practices and be nice enough to skip.

When you are a parent and involved in gambling then you should be responsible to hide off things like these in front or in the awareness of your children if you don't like for them to follow you on but if you

are a type of guardian or parent who doesn't really care at all on what they do saw then expect that they would really be doing on the same thing most likely but still depending on the child if they are

really that eager on following on whats been done by its parents or would really act on his own because he/she does eventually know on what are the implications of gambling.

We were all children once! So before you start setting up some rules remember your childhood!

I have kids, and I don't plan to hide anything from them... Like for us, this world is slowly revealing to them, with all good and bad things! According to their age, I will teach them what they are able to understand... We parents must show our kids what is good and what is bad, and how to not overdo something, that can harm them in any possible way! After all, "life school" is something we all need to pass... so is there anyone better to explain things to kids than parents?!

As said, yes, its the parents should have control over their activities since they tend to fall on all they see. I have enabled the control over kids youtube, so that my son just watches only the content I have chosen for him. Its obviously the rymns, stories and drawings where he is really interested. Often games do come as suggestion, he asks so. I would always explain him that that video is not for kids, thats for dad. He then just leaves and moves to his interesting content.

However, one day there is a lot chance for him to fall into it on our obscene. This is our responsibility to explain the way our kids understand and accepts what is explained.

Im also a family man and im really that serious on raising up my kids on a good way and wont really restrict out that much even though they arent doing anything.
I just dont want to end up on being overprotective because that would really be not a nice way on handling your kids.Just tell them on whats good and bad
and dont be tired on reminding them about those things and since we do have experience then we do just want to raise them up without experiencing problems.
Although its not an assured thing or perfect parenting but at least you have done on what should be done.
