Gambling Exposed to children

[Smartprofit]

I think the title should be "Children exposed to gambling".

Anyway, when we say children, we know they are minors and minors are not allowed to gamble, therefore they should be monitored by their parents and their addiction should not be blamed on gambling, it should be blamed for lack of monitoring by their parents. Gambling exist even before but it's not a deadly activities though really risky, and sometimes gambling makes us smarter as it will teach us on how to manage the risk despite losing.

No children would be expose to gambling if the parents are responsible.

In my opinion, children should be taught from the age of 7 the basics of mathematical probability theory. 

Currently, the mathematical theory of probability is being studied at the University.  It is not right. 

Children should understand that all events in their lives are probabilistic in nature.  This will allow them to understand the concept of gambling.  Children will not turn into gambling addicts.  And that's great! 

Probability theory can be taught using the example of an ordinary metal coin. 

The probability that the coin will hit "heads" is 50 percent.  The probability that the coin will hit "tails" is 50 percent.  The probability that the coin will hover in the air when thrown is 0 percent.  This is an incredible event. 

You can create educational comics.  Children love to read comics.

I'm open to exposing my kid to gambling but not actually make it like is a good thing to do for a source of income. It's true that we need to expose our kids to a better environment but they won't be learning from it. Opening them to a harsh environment will make them view life with survival skills but would rather not give them the idea of making a living by being a gambler.

Exposure so that your child is addicted to gambling? without realizing it, you are trying to plunge him into which it is not an appropriate stage at the psychological level of children who are still under 12 years old. How can you think that helps the growth of children's thinking which in the future may not be fully controlled?
A child has their own world, and you have to learn how to educate them based on their psychological development. Not based on your satisfaction when gambling.

Its just dumb to have that kind of mindset because instead of trying to avoid it then you are just giving him some exposure just for them to get used to and to be aware? I know on some aspects but children are not really

that much aware on things around which curiosity would really most likely to happen on where they would really get involved if you do just tolerate that stuff. Better to avoid it as far as possible and in case you do able

to see some signs that they were aware or engaged with gambling stuff then this is the time you would be making some  lectures and proper guidance.

Children should indeed be kept away from gambling activities, and their mindset cannot be wise in dealing with gambling. I don't think it's wise to
open up the idea to children about gambling, they haven't been able to accept it, it's not that they will realize it. But there is a possibility that they
will become more and more curious about gambling, I said so, because now I have children and know how they think. The safest thing is to
avoid children from gambling, parents should be very careful to keep their children from getting involved with gambling.

I have a different view on this, exposing a child to gambling at a certain age may be productive but they should not do it at an early stage of their life as they will not have the brain capacity to create resistance with gambling addiction. If a child is 15 years already, I can start teaching the child the elementary part of gambling and risk management but is not allowed the child to play any gambling game at that stage until 18+.

That's where the parents come in, if they let their children be exposed to it without doing anything, I think that they have already failed as a parent, you are the first defense of your child or any child for that matter to prevent them from discovering things that they aren't ready for yet.

Parent's responsibility is to protect their child and look after what their children are doing. If they cannot stop and make their children follow them, they should be the ones to act as the parent and not act as the child as if the child is the one that they have to follow. And with this matter, it's very important for the parents to act firmly with everything so that their children won't be exposed to gambling. We don't want our kids to be open to gambling while they're young since our parents have also thought us not to be one. But when they grow up and they have their own money to gamble and they're not asking money from us, they can do whatever they want as long as they become responsible too.

I think that we should also consider the fact that in most cultures, gambling is not being frowned upon by the general population. You can see card games being played at funerals, e-casino establishments easily seen in business districts or commercial centers, apps and videos on the internet, even nostalgia plays where the adults now remember times where they play games that has betting money or valuables on it. There is no limit in the way gambling is being portrayed and that is also a factor.

Exactly. Even how we protect our kids, they will still be exposed to the gambling. Just even playing with their friends has the possibility that they will be involved in gambling. Rather than protect our kids or try them to avoid gambling, just educate them.

Limiting them will just result in curiousity. That's the most critical part as children will start keeping things secret in private to their parents and on my part, I don't want that to happen.

If my kids will ask questions about gambling, I like that part and I will happily discuss it with them.

Probably everyone who writes in the Gambling section on Bitcointalk realizes how dangerous gambling addiction can be for an adult. Gambling for children is several times more dangerous than for adults. We should protect children from such advertisements at all costs, because it will definitely end badly.

Exactly, but what I've seen is there are rare situations where parents weren't able to know about their child until he has become a gambler and is under a huge debt.
Educating children in their childhood is the best thing you can do and hope for the rest of their future that they don't think about gambling as a source of income.

There are instances like these because we cant really monitor our children 24/7 which means theres always a tendency that you would really be missing out those times on where they had able to encounter something which is inappropriate into their age which should really be avoided. Giving them some lectures or realizations on early age is much more better thing to be done rather than telling them when they are already old.
Im not saying its already late to guide them up but there are really difference when those children of yours had made out some realization on early age.

The only way we can discourage children from gambling is not allowing them access to phone which is very impossible because we are in a digitalised world where everything is done using phone.If we think we are watching their movements,we cannot watch what they do on their phone,and online gambling has been so popular that  even children are very much aware of it.

[lienfaye]

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

Actually not only gambling but there are also porn sites that are easy to access as well because it doesnt need an age verification to open it. Everything is already on the internet and its inevitable for them to be curious and explore these things. Thats why communication and proper guidance of parents are necessary.

As a parent I dont wait before my kids ask on a certain thing, I already explain what they're about to see on the internet because im not often present to be with them all the time. Good thing my kids has discipline and following their limit on when to stop using their gadgets.

Restricting them from using their phones is next to impossible since we also need them for schools and emergencies. All we can do as parents is to constantly advise them about the things they shouldn't do and when they feel unto the things which we prohibit them from doing so, we need to punish them to make them realize the bad things they have done. We must not let it slide because if we do, they might befall into something worse than that. All we need to do is patience when raising them up to the extent they wouldn't think of any lack of care when they were young.

It is very unlikely that parents will limit the use of cell phones because currently school children use cellphones or study online.
and if we know their activities, especially when they study online, there is nothing wrong if they are only allowed to use their cellphones for online learning and remain under parental supervision.
Whatever the reason, if the child enters the wrong site that can damage his brain development, especially gambling and porn sites, it is not very good for the child and also requires patience.

True. I have to buy my kid a phone for her to be educated because everything is online now. And because they can't go out, they are now going to see the world just using the internet which is not really ideal sooner all they could do is just clicking all the way and probably land on casino pages. The earlier you can warn them about the casinos online, the earlier they know it's not good.

That's good, at least whatever the children will know later we have given an explanation or advice which one is good and which is not. After all, not all children are aware about gambling and pornography and I think there must be an age range of children who can be aware of that. So yes, actually things like gambling and pornography will arise in their playing environment, after which they become curious to find out on the internet. Therefore, the association or the place where they play is also at least a concern for parents, if parents can continue to direct them to positive activities then I am sure the children will remain well and safe.

[Chato1977]

if we find any of those being a threat to our children then report to authority to find action and solution because internet nowadays are filled with stupid content and everyone is prone from being infected.
it is more than corona virus because the effect is lifetime and the affected are the whole world .

Well the sad thing is, most parents actually think that not managing it is better for them since it means to them that they don't know about it, which is wrong. Directly ignoring the issue instead of educating them seem to be the stupidest thing one could do in managing what they want someone (their kid in this scenario) to do. It's actually comparable how countries who ban gambling and casino in general still has said things in their country, and is probably more rampant than countries with laws that actually control it instead of banning it.

I am not saying it shouldn't be reported but things like gambling, porn, violence, etc.. will always be on the internet even if it is reported to the authority or with strict regulation. the best thing to do is be a proper parent and educate their children about these things.. the world is in an era where all kinds of information are just one click away. if people will continue to rely on the authority to protect their children from these things, they will just be disappointed.
