Gambling Exposed to children

[delfastTions]

It's true that is not good for children exposed to gambling at an early stage. They can't even find the money of their own, its going to be worse if they become addicted.
Unfortunately is a line for setting what is moral and not which is also going to disturb democracy or somewhat like the freedom of speech of someone to which the platforms like youtube had also allowed. It must be youtube that actually has to mandatorily make these streamers add a warning before the video will play. Or youtube could add a template for their gambling videos.

I think just getting YouTube to write a warning when using gambling sites is not enough.  The issue of access for children and adolescents to gambling sites is too serious from the point of view of upbringing and developing a personality, that one cannot do without the participation of regulation by the laws of the state or even global organizations that form generally accepted norms.  
And without serious punitive measures in relation to sites and utubers, you cannot cope with the problem either.  
And such measures should be established by legislators.

Why do we keep talking about kids exposed to online gambling/casino?
I mean it's the parents responsibility to look for their children atleast once in a while. Besides, YouTube has done their part to mitigate the children entry on gambling and other contents prohibited for the minors.
Read the YouTube TOS.
https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms
You cannot get rid of these content just because there are minors using the app. It is always gonna be the parents responsibility to look for their children.

So, your topic should be for the parents to look for their children not to get access on contents like these. Not for the streamers/youtubers.

There must be a high probability of addiction in adolescence! No matter where they get the money to spend it on gambling... In the future these children will face big psychological problems which can only be solved with the help of a specialist! That's why it's better to limit children from such gambling sites!

[imstillthebest]

it would be better if youtube and twitch put a restriction from under age people if the video is about gambling if they havent dont this yet but i know youtube has age restriction for videos that are too sexy  .

Most of them will only imagine "What 'IF' i win 1000x of this amount and i'll be able to do this and that"

they are too young to think of that and it wasnt normal if the kid acted like this .
 the kid maybe have a parent that doesnt gave his basic needs but afterall , they are too young to be exposed in gambling  and there are activities that they need to learn to grow as a better person

Kids on school or playing with his friend, they also unconsciously they're betting but not directly to money! like, I dare you if you do this then I will buy you this and if you can't do it or lose you need to buy these. That's is also one of unconsciously the kids betting but without money.

-snip-

Is not enough! If you told the kids they still want to discover that.

The only way to prevent this is the casino act and policy while they asking "KYC" first for the account before the user can be play or deposit. This is the only solution, and absolutely effective.

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.

Tell us what are the ways to avoid Youtube nowadays - the most effective one. None, right? Unless you are in a country that's prohibiting that website or living on a North Korean internet policy, that might be possible as viewers will face a legal sanction.

Regardless of the situation, you can't expect that young fellas won't be able to encounter anything about gambling even they don't have an access to Youtube. That's the reality and you can't change it.

If you are concern about young ones in your family and friend, then educate them. While outside, just hope that those young people don't like to do gambling, that's it.

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

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.

I noticed this too, that big twitch streamers are now playing online casinos more and more during their streams and then afterwards upload videos of their biggest winnings on youtube. It is obvious that those streamers get paid by the online casinos to play on their platform to promote it that way, which i have to say is totally fine by the way because that is just how marketing works. It is also true though that a lot of children are watching this streams and that children are much more prone to be hooked by that promotions because they are just much more naive than adults, but in the end it is the responsibility of their parents to make sure they are not starting to gamble when they are 12 years old.
I mean every online casino is already telling you that you are only allowed to use their platform when you are 18 or older (or older than 21 depending on where you are from). I don't think you can ask more from the casinos.

Children into gambling needs to be avoided. The YouTube and other platforms used to have a gambling site promotion or a trading app promotion before the start of their content. It is truly misleading.

One of my friend too had a YouTube channel. Myself suggested not to promote such services. In most promotion, it is mentioned. You'll get free money of few dollars, and young people start to give a try. This will continue further with more deposits from pocket money. Sometime this can lead to crimes, when there is need for money and they don't have it.

The big question is where they will get the money to play the gambling ? You cannot play gambling without money and in some cases, you cannot even make an account if you are a miner. So in case any child is playing gambling, then it is the fault of his/her parents who have allowed them to do so.

Most of the sites do allow you to play gambling without KYC and anyone can make an account to play. Secondly, parents may give pocket money to their children but don't monitor where that money is being spend by their children. Sometimes it is seen that children ask more money from parents for lunch and other activities in the school and misuse that money in gambling. So it is also sometime fault of the child addicted to gambling.

Any child (except for some rare exceptions) has pocket money for various purposes - to buy food, pay for public transport, etc. In addition, children have phones on which there is some kind of balance of funds. Some sites/games allow you to pay for various services directly from your phone balance. In general, virtually every child has access to money.

As a rule, children should not be exposed to gambling, in fact, they should learn about it or play when they are of right age which is they can think and act responsibly and have a decent job, exposing them at a very young age will make them easy prey to corruption, children should not spend money except on their basic need, but if they are exposed to gambling they will find ways to get money to play and bet, and their minds will be corrupted.

With this, it is becoming increasingly difficult to control children when they are out of the home, even schools these days that kids stay along time before holiday to visit home is a challenge. These are some of the effect of civilization and modern day living. However, I think parents being a role model to the kids is the best that can yield result of good behavior until the children are independent to take there own decisions. Morality in the home can help the children conform to proper home training. Early gambling will breed addiction.

There is no way to limit children from gambling site when they'll have the access to Internet from every corners of their environment. Children especially the adolescent do have high urge to learn new things from different categories of life. Parents should always talk to their children advising them of the effects of gambling and it's addictions. This is the best way to correct adolescents' mindset from further exploit of gambling. Many gambling platforms do restrict the activities of under aged gamblers in gambling which is not that effective to be precise.

Yes, that's right, that's why the main task of parents in the modern world is not to hide the child from the world around him, but to teach him how to interact with it correctly. Obviously, the situation when the child does not gamble because he understands how they work better than the situation when the child does not gamble simply because he does not have such an opportunity.

Yeah I also think about that but actually not everyone can take to handle or understand about the risk knowing the youngster in this generation is so aggressive to know new things on them and I think sometimes experience is good so that they will find out for their selves that there's no good on gambling also our guidance is so important here so that they will not came to the point that they became addicted to much on the game and also we should watch on what's happening on his surrounding since it contributes unto this vices.

I know most Youtuber and Twitch streamers are only after the money that is paid and don't care about the negative result the company they advertised may cause to society which is the reason I believe you make an important point which will help to save children and the future of our society but most video that involves this kind of advert has an age restriction. Besides, Youtube moderates all the videos that are on their platform and children can only watch the video that had age restriction if they lied about their information or use some stuff that won't allow the restriction.

That's how responsible parenthood  be like.

If you guide your kids the proper ways they'll grow understanding what harmed gambling may bring them.

Hiding or trying not exposed them to gambling is far better but knowing the power of internet, it's unavoidable that they might see types of gambling or they'll experienced it with some friends or relatives, giving them advance knowledge and guidance will lessen chances of getting them to expose much in gambling.

[YuginKadoya]

I would agree with you. The fact is the content will always be there for everyone potentially to see, but with enough supervision from the parents and a much more active approach from these platforms, there wouldn't be cases where children are exposed to videos or streams that weren't suitable for younger audiences.

Yup! we can not control the content creators forte that they want to show on their channel, that is why as a parent I think we should be the ones that are guiding the little ones in what they are watching.

^ I definitely agree with you, we can not blame social media like Youtube because that is a part of their marketing strategy, so the best part here is the parent should always watching parental guidance for their children and avoid possible involvement in gambling. There is nothing wrong if they are aware of gambling as long as they will not be under influence of it and start to gamble on their own. I don't know how youtube filters their video, but I think it is good for them if they will not allow to 18 years old below to see a gambling video.

Social media shouldn't be the one to blame there will always be content that is not really suitable for children, and social media platforms can not control all content that has gambling, explicit content, and NSFW, so I think the parents' cooperation is surely be needed.

[harizen]

Exactly. There's no chance not to encounter those gambling videos since after all, these streamers and popular.

But for let's say even they are not, young guys will still saw it by any chance. Internet is so wide and everyone has an access to it nowadays. The power of social media is high and it's easy to circulate those videos via sharing.

Limiting these children will just lead to confusion and possibly out of curiosity, they will seek an attempt to enter gambling secretly. Educate them instead.

[blockman]

They'll get the money to gamble from their parents, they'll look for a way to cash it in and then so that they can gamble with their parents' money. These influencers should always put a disclaimer that the young viewers that they have shouldn't gamble since they have no money to gamble and teach them to be responsible first before trying anything crazy that they have on their minds like the perfect example of thinking that you can make 10x or more. I've thought of that when I was a teenager that has saw gambling in my neighborhood.

And worst, some will use credit card /details from their parents just to sign up especially if they encounter fiat-based gambling sites. In this case, it is really important to instill with your kids the importance of money and the effect of gambling. Even at early age, they need to know about the possible consequences, so when they finally encounter it via their peers or online search, they already know what to do.

That's already it, they'll get the money from their parents. Cash or transfer or through credit card but that's the problem of those parents that will have this problem. They shouldn't let their kids touch their credit cards because they'll really use them for the things that they want even for online shopping. That's why guidance is needed for those kids so that these parents will not have these encounters if ever they have a grown-up kid that's too curious with technology and gambling.
