Gambling Exposed to children

[AverageGlabella]

If a Youtuber is a children friendly channel they should not be advertising gambling services and if they are they should be banned from the platform or at least shunned by the community. Youtubers know what their demographic is because those stats are given to creators and if they look at those and then decide to advertise and sell out because of money and put children in harms way that should be a criminal offense and not just a ban worthy on Youtube.

Children aged -15 years are never suitable for gambling because it can damage their behavior later in life.

It depends on their mindset. At the age of 15, I doubt they will have an interest on doing gambling.

But if they really did, more on it was because of their curiosity. I'm sure at that age they already know the difference between what's the good thing to do and not. If we try to force and convince them to ignore gambling the more they want to know about it.

Gambling is all over the internet these days but as parents, we should know how to protect our kids from it no matter where they are. It might sound hard since we don't know what they're doing when they're outside but if we'll explain to them the risks of gambling and the effects of it, they would know how to avoid it. It's how we raise our children.

it's one hard part for me as a parent because i also wanted my kid to learn everything. its hard to teach kids all at once because as a parent you can't monitor each of the things they search while everything we do during lockdowns is online even the school extra activity is done online. although i wanted to limit what she sees on youtube or anything she searches, the ads appearing are very attractive to resist a click. it's hard to explain when the kid didn't experience gambling yet.

No one can prevent them to engage in technology as the world is already changing to a digital world, but as a parent, we have to be aware of the new technology, adopt with it so we will be able to monitor and prevent our kids in accessing gambling sites or any site that is not yet suitable for their age, with knowledge, you can manage the firewall of your network and block gambling sites, that would easily solve the problem.

Blocking access to gambling sites on your home network will not achieve anything. Tomorrow the child will go out and his friend will offer to play gambling games that he installed on his smartphone.

It is very important to build a relationship with your child without resorting to any prohibitions. Today you have banned your child from playing smartphone, tomorrow you banned him from watching TV until he learned his lessons the day after tomorrow you banned him from eating candy. In a week the child has adopted this experience and permanently denied you access to his private life.

Good parents always have a way to keep a strict eye on their children and they don't run from their responsibilities.

yes when they are still underage the role of parents is to limit things to maturity before their age. and because this is related to money so teach them to be responsible for all the decisions they make. there's no way parents can limit what they do on the internet and that's for sure, but they can do much more than that.

Gambling cannot be played without money. So all those children who are playing online gambling who is funding them ? Where they are getting all this money from ?

For sure, the parents are themselves given them the money to play gamble and if this is true, its a sad realty.

Actually it is not too difficult if we are smart to limit the use of smart phones or the like and stay under surveillance because in our family we are not alone, there are wives or other family members if there are.
Accompany them when learning online and if your child wants to watch you tube, and you have prepared shows that your child likes by downloading as many as possible. so that your child watches you tube offline whose data you have turned off and you also have to limit the time.
and in addition to limiting its use, you must also be able to divert it to positive things because children's activities have certain hours such as naps, playing and also watching television with appropriate shows.
Of course you can and that includes discipline and you have to be firm, because otherwise the internet today sometimes has lots of advertisements and sites that are not worth accessing and my wife and I apply it to my two children who are 12 and 9 years old

I partly diagree with your opinion, because many families dont have this opportunity. Many people have to educate their children completely alone without any help of others. In these circumstances control is not possible.

The problem is not the children, even if parents were to be strict to keep an eye on their kids they will always find ways to do it behind their parents.  I think gambling companies promosing to pay however can market their products to the world could be paid for their service is the origin of the problem and we all know that we humans are prone to error and temptation and this should be the responsibility of gaming companies not to expose kids to these services.

Whatever the reason, parents play a huge role in what their children do and while they can do it without being behind it, parents need to be more sensitive and know if one day their child sees an advertisement or gambling site what to do. tell your child before he knows it and if they see an ad or site not to click because it is dangerous and depends on how people tell them.

And we can't blame the game companies because they also don't know who is in it, they are adults or children and the company just provides services without being responsible for anything that happens.

Parenting does have a big role when it comes to raising their kids because if they were guided correctly then most likely they would really be aware and would able to avoid not only the harmful effects of gambling but also with other things as well depending on what you do taught into your child.

In our era today where we are almost connected to internet on whatever or the simpliest things that we do which its not really impossible for our child to engage nor able to meet up those things which aren't supposed or right for their age.

This is why proper guidance is a must but there are things which are unavoidable.

The problem is not the children, even if parents were to be strict to keep an eye on their kids they will always find ways to do it behind their parents. 

Even at that if they parents of this kids where their friends and got involved in the full day-to-day activities of this kids it would help reduce some level of risky adventure this children engage in. Sometimes parents believe their children knows what the ought to do forgetting that even as adults we make mistakes how much more the children. This children needs parents who could be a part of their life sticking more closer than a best friend this way their parents will know the activities of their child and help guide them.

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.

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.

To me parents are responsible for the activities of there children cause some parents would never tend to educate and talk to them in a polite way that will attract the children and bring the children more closer to them. Children are exposed to contents found on the internet whether bad or good and they are very attracted to those things that look promising with fake assurance. Gambling is not bad but there should be ways of controlling it in children in adolescent.

when three of you the mother, father, and your kid are locked in a city where your relatives are from far islands of the archipelago, you have limited options in teaching your kid. the covid virus had limit everyone and everything on this planet. all we have is online space and while VR is not fully developed. but if VR is developed, gambling will also be revolutionized through VR and casinos will still be exposed to kids.

it's inevitable and it's best that she just learn it from me that i can say, all these are just entertainment and there is far cheaper entertainment out there like netflix.

[ongkok87]

If someone wants to gamble, they can't be stopped anyway. And when do you recognize that your child will have that tendency? It used to be quite easy to keep him away from gambling as there were no online casinos and gambling sites back then. now the threshold is very low to start gambling.

Unfortunately this is difficult to do, kids have access to all kind of technology that was unthinkable just a decade ago and even if you can control what they are watching in the devices you bought this does not holds true when they are using the devices of other kids, so while direct protection from this kind of information seems like the best option at the same time it is never going to be enough, which is why it is important to have a talk about why something like gambling is not good for them at such an early age.

True, though I could control my children from playing online games, he is tend to play on his grand father's mobile device from other places. This is really a challenging one. As said, instead of protecting or controlling them from playing, its always best to educate them why they should not play the game. That should be explained in a way they understand.

I think parents have to educate their children about the implications of getting involve in gambling. Some parents don't have enough time to monitor the activities of their children. Many children however place their bet through online gambling sites, because they basically can't go to a Gambling hall. The internet can't be scraped out, but we have to guide and teach them about the disadvantages of using the internet.

I agree but to teach them about those disadvantages you have to let them practice it. Just making a lesson like a teacher won't change anything in their mind. I think they should learn how to gamble and manage a bank roll. Gambling games are usually available in demo mode or "fun play" as they called it at Stake but it's better to let them play with few real cryptos to understand how a budget works IMO.

YouTube has already provided parents with their special and unique app YouTube Kids which was made taking into account kids of specific ages and this app possibly does not allow any such ads to take place for kids to keep enjoying their usual videos. If parents are worried about the advertisements, they can buy YouTube Premium to keep ads away and let their children have a seamless experience of watching videos with ease on YouTube. Least that they can do is, download the videos and let their kids watch them on YouTube even if the phone is offline (not connected to internet), or download the videos on the phone that is available through various YouTube video downloaders.

Gambling is not bad up to an extent if played with care and if parents let their child do it under their supervision, and don't let their kids fall for its addiction, we don't think that it may ruin a kid's life considering that kids have fear of their parents and they will not commit anything that could cause problems for their parents.

That is a job for every parent to educate their children for good things and tell the bad things so they can think about the risk and consequences for them if they are trying to involve. At their ages, they will think that if they see something that looks strange, they will ask their parents and we, as their parents, need to explain to them and not let them search for themselves because they can get the wrong information.

If we can guide and teach them about what they want to know and accept it, they will not try to get in on the gambling games because they have already been told that is too risky for them. Giving some examples will convince them not to try it even if they grow up in the future.
