Gambling Exposed to children

[kotajikikox]

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.

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.

but the hard thing is that Parents cannot look after their children's activities specially in internet nowadays that child can easily accessed and can do anything beyond our knowledge as parents.
unless we are living in isolated places when there are no access in real world.
best to let our children learn about the value of money and how to earn this in right manner and not just simple risking in gambling to become an instant millionaire .

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.

No, I don't think so children have fertile mind what you sow on them in their early years it will linger on, once they learn the strategy and tasted victories they will be tempted to try their luck and use money, they might even use their school allowance to gamble. let them learn gambling at the right time, and the right time is when they can afford to decide what is right for themselves, gaming is ok for them it develop skills in decision making but never gambling.

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.

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.   

In terms of using the internet and playing games, children nowadays are extremely difficult to control. We can't really prevent them because we live in a technological age where almost everyone has access to the internet. What we can do now is talk to them and educate them about the risks of the internet. We also know that they are aware of betting in online games but aren't aware that it is gambling because they think it's just for fun so we should also educate them with this.

I agree we need to educate children about the risks of gambling, because banning them will only be useless. Parents should be able to educate
their children about gambling, so that children can realize that it is not yet time to access online gambling sites. Use good language with children,
don't force them, but more aware of the risks that will occur if children access gambling sites. I also did the same to my son and luckily my son
listened to what I had explained, parents must have good communication with their children.

That's true, parents rarely monitor internet activities and it's only a matter of time until their child gets exposed since a lot of games offer similar ways to gamble. Even if they know the actual value of money won't be enough since they also need to understand the issue between gambling and how it'll affect their lifestyle at a young age.

No, I don't think so children have fertile mind what you sow on them in their early years it will linger on, once they learn the strategy and tasted victories they will be tempted to try their luck and use money, they might even use their school allowance to gamble. let them learn gambling at the right time, and the right time is when they can afford to decide what is right for themselves, gaming is ok for them it develop skills in decision making but never gambling.

That's why parents need to step in because gambling is a common topic and not everyone is fortunate enough to learn gambling at the right time.

If you will just tell them this and that but without complete explanation and understanding then they will only get interested and curious more than anything and the chance of sneaking to try playing and betting is indeed will happen.
|make them completely understand and knows the Good and Bad side of gambling so as they grow old they will keep that on mind and even if time comes they are already can make decision for themselves at least they knew to value the ethics of gambling and not just by winning but also to enjoy and self control.

I go with your comparison, gaming is good in developing skills while gambling should not be practiced in their early age. Kids love to push for more when they see easy money.

They will keep doing things and the worse things when situation leave them empty pocket because of gambling, they will start stealing money.

To avoid that, parents' responsibilities are not to let them engaged to this business as early decision making is not yet fully ripe,
better to keep them away from this activity.

If there are parents that allow their kids to gamble at an early stage, they are open-minded parents but I don't see parents do that casually. It's hard to know if their kids won't fall into addiction because they might find out that their kids are playing even without their supervision. You'll never understand how it is going to happen or if you do, we've been through that process and there's no way to stop that unless there's early prevention coming from the parents. Kids these day, if you give them the favor, they're going to abuse it.

in my country, only stupid parents teach or let children play gambling when they are small
children have no income, they will definitely try to make money to gamble by stealing parents' money or doing other negative actions

Gamblers who do not have a fixed income will definitely try to get money to gamble in any way, it cannot be denied
Don't assume that being open-minded by letting children gamble from a young age is a wise parent

Well, those parents don't have much income to sustain their needs. They shouldn't do this to their kid, they shouldn't hope that their kid got lucky and win and even allow them to gamble. That's what happens in some places that there's no that much source of income, they think that gambling can save them. Although there are those people that made their lives amazing and good through it but it also depends to the situation and if they're not having the good situation to do it, they shouldn't do it.

Those children need to be guided by their parents so they do not try to learn or know how to gamble, although they can still get that way from their friends. But if their parents can be strict with their rules not to let their children know about gambling, they will not try to gamble.

The fact is we see many people who do not have a fixed income trying to gamble to make money. But in the end, they lose all money in gambling and they feel desperate, which can attract them to commit a crime.

Yes, guidance is always needed to avoid those kinds of situations where children are now getting curious about gambling. Kids are easy to get curious on such things especially if these things are getting his attention like card games in gambling. If a child is taught about the reality of gambling and how it works, he is unlikely to do it because he knows it is wrong and should be avoided. Parental supervision is really essential to us and plays a significant role.

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.

This is definitely something that is indeed a little controversial for most gambling sites since if they do ask for the documents to make sure that people are not underage then people don't tend to take them seriously and at the end these sites are specifically avoided.

I do think that when we are talking about cryptocurrencies like bitcoins, Any gambling platforms related to them would definately have probelms in this sector since most of the gambling places looks like kids videos games and someone might just come and use their parents card to pay.

But this issue needs to be taken seriously since it can cause long term damage, both socially and mentally.

I would like to share the below. Today I received a clip on my Whatsapp. A boy was just moving his fingers around thinking he was holding a mobile and playing a game on it.  But he did not have any mobile device on his hand. He lost himself. His parents were just calling him by his name touching him. He was just seeing his hands as though he was holding a mobile in his hand playing. Really feel bad to see it. Children are easily got up on online games and gambling or what so ever.

I am currently experiencing this behavior in my son recently that makes me wonder why children are so attached to playing mobile phone games lately, my son spends a good amount of time playing games at first I was not bordered since he seems to cash fun but again am afraid if he continues this way he may progress into full-time gambling which is something I will not like him to get involved in not at this age.

Its really better to divert him to something else. Better lets engage our children on playing something with us like we used to play when we were kids. Its not only that they will get engaged into full-time gambling, but also will mentally get affected. They wont even realize whats really happening around them. Its the right time to rescue our children. Though we are totally taken up going to offices or business, we should engage ourselves with our children. There were our responsibility falls on. This is what this generation loose from their parents.

Good parenting would be the key.Its part of your responsibility on taking out actions which could really be good for them and wont able to engage into those things which will really be putting them into risk.
Your children would realize that those things are bad on their current age and even when they do get old then its always been ideal that gambling shouldnt really be touched up as far as you can.
Explain them about the risk but everything could be still ending up on their own decision because we do have our own will as we do grow old this is why when they are still young
then proper guidance or handling is a must.

Unfortunately it seems to be a fact of life that regulators are always 5-10 years behind the trends and take another 5-10 years to make effect laws to protect the most vulnerable. That is generally the case in the most stable and developed countries, it's even worse for others who have weak governance. "Innovative" businesses are always trying to push the limits while chasing money and targeting streamers/so-called influencers is the latest trend right now - they are generally clueless about advertising laws, just seeing the massive wads of cash thrown at them. There needs to be more examples made of this deceptive form of marketing and product endorsements should be banned because it is too open to abuse.

In this you are right, I think the best thing is that children who play do not play online, but play offline, there are many games and there are no dangers of addiction when parents have their full supervision, the danger lies when children play online , and they start to see unwanted advertisements.

In addition, the advantage that they do not play online is that there are no chats where they can interact with the players, there are many who are malicious that can do damage from there.

Children get addicted to things so easily most especially mobile /video games and it's the duty of parents to help this young ones because  despite the education the receive and how intelligent they may appearance the still lack the full experience to operate in this digital era and if parents keep a busy schedule without having time to guide and advice their wards on how to adapt to the society without endangering their future the will go about feeling the are actually living the life the way it ought to be lived.
