Gambling Exposed to children

[aioc]

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.

Parents should be responsible for what their children are doing online, these streamers and Youtubers can only give warnings, they have no way to tell if children are watching their streams, they are paid to advertise these gambling sites but they should post on their description with the highlight that their streams needs parental guidance so parents can take the cue and take action.

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.

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.

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.

Many parents do not know that material is not right for their children because they do not become aware of what is inside of their kids' gadgets.
We are seeing many kids under 17 years old already access many websites that they should not access and many of them are already watching porn (this is a serious problem in many countries).
Well, gambling can be like that. The curiosity will attract them to dig deeper on the website or search for the other website to fill in what they need.
Parents often let their kids use their gadgets without stop because the parents are busy with their work, which makes their children do not control.
We need to teach them about discipline so they will know what they need to do if they visit that site.

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.

A younger children is more susceptible to gambling addiction compare to an adult because children can't make a decision at their young age and what they see will be the ones that will register into their mind and it has bad effects on them as they grow older.

Preventing these children to not get exposed to gambling is one of the main responsibilities of the parents. Its kinda hard to prevent it since children are always surfing into the internet nowadays especially that they can't go out because of the pandemic but as a parent, you must teach them and tell which are good and which are bad.

[Woodie]

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 .

This is easier to do if the gambling company has a local office and is regulated, the authorities can easily follow up such a case.

Unlike what's becoming popular today which is online gambling and the growing number of unregulated casinos which they can get away with laws which don't govern them, but honestly I think regulation should start from home,  passing on the blame  or responsibility on to someone else isn't my kind of solution,  as parents and guardians monitor what your kids do on the internet,
so that this doesn't grow to be a big problem in the future .

Surely becoming gambling addict at a young age have many bad consequences which could put your personal and financial life at stake ahead in your life.There can be certain restrictions like putting watching limit to such videos for the young children's but that's also not possible and easy as algorithm needs to be changed and moreover the email id login is of parents in phone.These reasons have led to problem in children like anxiety and stress and eye sight weakness but they need to overcome it for their safety.

Gambling and teenage

This can become an serious issue which needs to be solved by parents.

I fully agree with you. Youtube and videos over the internet in general are fantastic, I have learned a lot with these in may practical stuff DIY, gardening, programming,... truly amazing. However there is a tendency to publish content that is super-biased and sometimes simply wrong. On top of that, there is the children issue. It is not only about gambling, it is also about drugs, hate, sex and in general, roadmaps to life that have all the chances of ending in drama. The only thing that can help is to have the parents understanding what is going on and make sure that they explain the children what is that they are seeing and how to interpret it and this has to start at an earlier age: the moment they pick up a phone.

Everything could be potentially be watched on youtube but at least they are moderated strictly but there are parts of internet which your children could possibly see off those things which they wont really be only
exposed on gambling but also into those other things as well same as you mentioned which as a parent we should really be mindful on how to guide and make aware of our kids into those things so that if ever
they do able to watch or encounter it out then they are much aware and the best thing to do is to avoid them.Its only a matter of parenting but not all are really good on this thing
this is why it do really make out some problems later on.

It is bad that our children are born to meet gambling as a game,which will drain and suck them financially and emotionally of the little dime they got.The internet is a tool that facilitates online gambling,but since it can't be scrapped off,we just have to bear,and make do with it as one of the disadvantage of the internet.

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.

You are right, those responsible for all this are the parents, in my case when I play and my son is close, the colors, the sounds impact him, it is something normal, and they approach and ask, I always let him know that this It is something delicate that he is not yet old enough to do it by himself, however I tell him to click to see how it goes, and he does it, he likes it, but he is always under my supervision, I like a dad I let him play but Other types of games, there are games that teach them both the alphabet and math things, and yet you have to be supervising because many times advertising can take you to forbidden pages, and he already knows it, when something like this comes out He tells me : "Dad, that's advertising, I'm going to close it" everything is about being very aware of the children and being responsible with them.

Well, here the role of parents is very important to control their children, to keep controlling their activities on the internet which often opens certain videos with smartphones. But in my place.. the video about the gambling site has not been clearly listed/often appears on youtube or other social media.

Although I admit that the internet provides facilities for everyone to access online gambling, even children. But we are not wise to blame
the internet entirely, I agree this is where the role of parents is very important to supervise their children when accessing the internet.
So parents really have to be diligent in checking what their children's activities are on the internet, the easiest way is to monitor the history of
sites that have been opened by our children. If history is found they open a gambling site, provide education that they are not allowed to open
a gambling site before they are adults.

nope , in youtube almost half of the videos has gambling site advertising ,a nd the famous 1xbet (in which questionable for being scammy) is spreading the social media and video sites luring players .
so if your children can access youtube that easy then expect them to be prone from this gambling advertisements.
best to limit their activities using gadget for sites that you will only allow them to use, better to get sites that even with pay but will keep them safer from this wild internet world .

  As I observed many kids expose by the gambling site without knowing their parents that their child are in the gambling site playing and watching ,To prevent this case parents must be observable to their child Specially now that they always in the house so it's a great that we can watch our child everytime what they do.

I think that control over the execution of gambling sites in order to prohibit children under the age of 16-18 or even up to 18 years old should be done at the level of national legislation.  The fact that schoolchildren, even elementary grades, can lose the little money they have from their parents is still nonsense.  The bad news is that they are much more likely to become gambling addicts than people in adulthood.  The fragile psyche of a child perceives such envy 10 times faster than an adult.

That is parent's job always to watch their kids every time they are alone because we do not know what they do. Once I watched some kids play with their friends using their mobile phones, but after hearing what they say, I am shocked to see that they use the money to play a game on their mobile phones. It is simple gambling because they give the money to the winner after the battle or buy some food for the winner. That teaches them to have a gambler mental in their ages.

I fully agree with that, they can't blame the faith of their children to gambling as gambling sites are very transparent with their rules that they'll only allow users to gamble when they are at the right age, if a child gambles, that means they lied and they bypass the rules, therefore, it's the lack of monitoring by the parents which is the main reason why they have access to gambling.

they can do this by limiting the sites their children can enter , so in cases like this they will not be prone from getting involved. because kids are easily be lured , once there is something attracts their eyes surely they will check it and find out what's inside.
let us be reminded that our children's action is a part on how we literally teaches them, meaning what they will become is on how we shape them.

Parents that let this happen have already failed in becoming a parent, also making mobile devices as a pacifier for your child to behave has been the thing for the past decade and the results are showing, the newer generation is getting more dumber than the last. In the case of gambling, children's phones should have a customized filter to help with the parents preventing children from being exposed early to vices like gambling.

Parents should be aware of the proliferating gambling sites online, awareness is the key to the prevention of children getting hooked on gambling sites if they are not being monitored and kids are spending too much online, it usually starts with gaming until the child learn that there is a way to make money online through betting and yes one of this is when kids watched these streamers and Youtubers promoting gambling sites in their channels.

The Internet gives freedom, but as minors, they should be guided by their parents. I also have children and I make sure they cannot access sites that are not for minors, by controlling internet accessibility, that's one step to prevent children from getting addicted.

[zanezane]

Try to be a better parent then because a child won't be exposed to this kind of thing when the parents are guiding the child properly and it's not like the kids wander so easily on this gambling website, there's definitely an outside influence that triggered their curiosity. Manage if not be strict on their online activities, limit their screen time and play something else, buy some board games or teach them to read books.

[AicecreaME]

I think children will never bother trying gambling after seeing those ads and promotions if their parents raised them well to understand what to do and what not to do as a kid. Good parents will always have great kids and great kids know how to choose their friend wisely.

You can also monitor your child browsing history if you'll set it on your internet settings. This is why being close to our children is important, so they will never be shy opening things on your no matter what they are.
