Gambling Exposed to children

[Pamadar]

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.

Youtube has a tick box which is the content is made for kids? so the creator has to avoid clicking it means those type of videos won't get into their recommended list while exploring youtube. And if still those children are viewing it by violating the age restrictions then it is their mistake, not the creator.

Also the parents has the job of monitoring their kids and their activities, if they want their kids to be grown in a good way then its their responsibility to check it.

Even there are restrictions but if your kids is too lazy to continue watching those kind of contents,

It's no longer the creator nor YouTube's obligation but the parents should be held responsibilities with any actions coming from their children,

YouTube do their part creating this feature and creators needs to follow that, so it everything is up to the parents to make sure that they are guiding their kids not to open this kind of videos.

Practically its not possible to keep our kids under surveillance for 24/7, so why not teach them what is good and bad for them and make them to decide what is the best thing for them. In the internet world every restrictions can be broken by someway so the only practical way is to save us from our side that has to be taught to our kids.

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.

I hope every young parent can fully monitoring their children, no matter how busy they are, because once their kids doing something wrong at their age, it can be with them until they grow up. And when that happens, parents will not be easy to give explanations to them.

When the kids access gambling, they can easily hide their identity, including their ages, because they know how to do that.

Absolutely every parents job is to watch out their kids to influence an error things or in a Gambling Site . Nowadays more child addicted in phone since were in pandemic our child was in the house nothing else to do beside studying or playing a phone but more in playing gadgets and without our permission as a parent our child can easily go in site what they like that involve money. So as a parent if we got know that our child was exposed in a site of Gambling we will be worried about them.

I already saw kids addicted to their phone around me and that is not easy to make them realize that is not good for their health, eyes, and even their socialize with people around them. They seem does not to care about other people and even they do not want to meet others. Just imagine what will happen with them if they are addicted to gambling in their ages. They will lose their chance to grow up, socialize with others, and have fun at their age.

Here's a thoughtful quote from an article, "The younger generations are growing up aware of the dangers [of smoking] and don’t see smoking as glamourous, whereas the exposure to bookies has resulted in an increased problem among young people." I agree. The family as a small unit in the society has a huge role to play. As parents, the onus lies on us to make a responsible member out of each child born into it. Every family must teach it's child the attitudes, values, and actions appropriate to function well in the society. If the larger society has failed to put gambling in the same category as smoking then the family must not fail to teach it's child the health, emotional and psychologically, economic cost of getting hooked to gambling. It is a responsibility we must carryout.

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 .

Actually this problem can be solved with access to Youtube children. But actually it's true, some ads on youtube offer several gambling sites. I myself have children, for now I limit smartphone access. I educate him for other activities.
But behind that I also introduced him to the internet so that he has knowledge. At the age of children, they don't really understand it yet. They are more interested in games and social media.

Yeah I have noticed under age people are first watching videos if given access to smartphone and internet and then slowly start downloading games and these days there are too curious on watching youtube shorts and tiktok videos. And I am afraid their next leap might be toward gambling. Because, no one is getting into gambling on all of sudden but most of the people get linked one by one even they start using Internet for academic purposes.

Honestly I believe these days we cannot keep our kids not getting exposed to gambling. Because even television are continuously showing advertisements on gambling and gambling houses then definitely one day or other they will check it out for what is that and what is going on there.

I get your point but the thing is, the influenced of internet is really big inside the minds of developing young adult,

Your presence is always important cause even you try hard teaching them and telling them what to do, curiosity still there inside their minds and chance that they'll going to explore for more will damage them, we are talking about possible addictions and it's really possible if we will not take this seriously.

If you have kids that are on 10 to 16 years brackets you should watch what they are watching and what they are following and bookmarking, there are so many streamers and YouTubers promoting gambling sites and they are keywords away and many of them are even recommended by Youtube as relevant contents or videos, you should educate your children on what to watch and who they follow.

These days its difficult to control the kids and children because everything is available on mobile and its hard to track all the time the activity of the children.
If you want that you want children to remain away from gambling, you should sd counselling with them and tell the pros and cons of gambling. This will help them decide better.

[Peanutswar]

As far as I know, there's a mode for the YouTubers to upload their content if it's for kids or not if it's not the YouTube algorithm itself does not give any suggestions or recommendations to the children still it depends on the user activity. If the activity of the user is more on children content for sure the YouTube does not give any adult content recommendation but if the user is more on gambling and adult content the YouTube will recommend to them suitable for adults. This is the reason why does youtube have their terms in uploading videos for kids or not.

Regardless of how many times you send your child to counseling, the fact that the modern times today requires every child to tackle on the internet, they'll still find their way to be influenced by the social media craze specifically contents not for children.
The only solution for this is to set up the device by not allowing /blocking any content intended not for kids not to show up anywhere in the web while using that specific device.
The apps and device should be the one to adjust.

Enabling such a restrictions is possible? Do we need any app for doing that? I read all the filtering features are not perfect as most filters are being done by the captions given by its creators and when those creators target to bypass any such restrictions then they can enjoy their breaching until they get caught. This is the reason why most childsafe apps are failing in the end.

We must teach our kids for not involving into anything for long hours and continuously following and watching them for the changes in their activities will help any parent to keep their kids out of harmful activities including gambling.

Children are not experienced enough to understand exactly how risky gambling is and what we teach them, it cannot indirectly give them a better decision, it only directly supports their curiosity, such advice is not a conversation, it's just stimulating the kids' brains, helping them to search more about gambling. Why do we always try to force children to participate in phone viewing when other fun activities are still useful to them, friends are also a good thing, a psychological parent is not a rigid and forbidding parent

[newwest]

The first step the kids start before the online gambling or visiting say casino is betting between the friends. This is what I have seen most of the things start with any matches, or any events or situations the bets are placed and this is how slowly and gradually they start to get into online gambling or say into more deeper addiction to gambling later on.

[Tumanggor]

Children grow with with what they see,hear and what they are taught.They see their elderly ones gambling,they hear people talking about gamble,they see people teaching people how to gamble,therefore,they try to implement what they see,hear and taught.

but not all gamblers have parents who gamble too, many of them are influenced by friends
then the school and home environment must be far from bad influences so that children are free from bad influences from their friends

home, school and online activities for those who have children really must be considered very tight

[ReiMomo]

Its really challenging for parents. Unable to give out 100% effort in diverting children from playing online games. Though its parents responsibility, I feel online games should be restricted. Since every online sites or gaming platform strives to grow business, its much harder to prohibit them. Keeping this in mind, its better to divert children on to physical games. Parents need to spend more time in playing with them. It would take only few months to channel the children.

Many factors make children gamble and one of the most important in my opinion is the friendship factor and also the social environment, usually children who are starting to grow up have a great curiosity about something and usually they will ask their friends who have been  before involved in gambling, so that curiosity drives them to try to do it and of course gradually this will trigger them to continue to do it, and this is where parents need a very big role to be able to control children activities in making friends, maybe children will think parents are too protective, but only we as parents can protect them from bad deeds.

The role of parents is influential here, although it will be a little difficult with the sophisticated development of the times that are increasingly sophisticated, but at least the role of parents can at least minimize this because there are so many children who are out of control because they are too free and without the role of a parent.
although gambling can be easily accessed now and indeed without certain rules, but at least children may not be suitable to be in this realm and the role of parents is very important to minimize this

There are lots of bills and recommendations of banning those online games but havent been implemented? Why? It is pretty useless because accessibility can really be possibly anywhere

which means its really hard to get rid so its no point that they would really be pushing it to happen and this is why parenting or guidance is really a must or much needed.

Even just searching online would really be having the chance on exposing into something not only in gambling but also in others as well.

Absolutely, look how many kids play Fortnite and spend their money on that or are exposed to the huge ton of mobile games. The only thing you should never do is giving away your credit card PIN, I can tell you!

But even if they only have access to the games and not to your credit card, the way these games are structured is brutal from a psychological (marketing) perspective. Kids feel left behind compared to others if they meet in school and talk the newest stuff you could buy for just two USD or whatever.

Regarding gambling, that is nothing I particularly can observe among kids and teenagers. As far as I know they like to gamble at a barbecue for a couple of bucks in a poker game and stuff, some go into a casino when they reach the required age, but I don't really know or hear an overwhelming lot about addicted teenage gamblers.
