Gambling Exposed to children

[worldofcoins]

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.

because it is already under internal influence, Youtube is generally free to be accessed by anyone. Due to its very broad nature with access, anyone can watch the videos that appear on the homepage.
As for children who try to gamble because of the impact of what they watch, the most important thing is the role of parents to continue to control and educate their children. And can monitor the daily life of children in using their gadgets.

the only way that this will stop is if all the social platform or streaming platform prohibits their users or content creator from advertising any type of gambling sites or if the government prohibit gambling site advertisement altogether. until that happens you'll continue seeing them. the content creators that advertise gambling sites don't really care if their audience became addicted to gambling or not. all they care about is that advertising these gambling platforms will earn them some easy bucks.

this is why we have to watch over our children, i don't have children yet but I have a neighbor whose children use school money to play gambling.  now is the era of the internet and we have to control what our children open on their smartphones.

We are already living in a world where information spreads fast and through various mediums. You cannot really prevent them from reaching your kid or any young relative. We cannot expect them to follow what we say that "gambling is bad" too.

...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.

What about when they are at home? Don't you often see adults playing cards in social gatherings?

Obviously they will fall into addiction slowly. However, the social medias and online games becoming a fantasy world for kids as well. The games for kids are set up in a way that they have to earn points and play with it. The points can be even bought paying money online. Obviously its the responsibility of the parents to monitor and teach their children what's really necessary and what not. I always, keep an eye on my son who is just 5 years old. He loves to play games, but I divert him to see hymns or I engage him on physical games. Its really challenging.

Of course the advertising business will not stop advertising that has big payouts, regardless of their impact on the environment. It is very difficult to prevent content creators who frequently broadcast live gambling on social media. Because it's public.

It's not only the OP who is worried about shows that are inappropriate for children to watch, who are still in the realm of imitating what adults do. Because we, as adults, will strictly prohibit those who are underage from watching, let alone trying to gamble.

I'm not saying streamer is a fault too.

But, IMO casino is also fault because not asking "KYC" at the time they're registered to the website. Gambling and casino is 18+ but to prevent under age playing the only way to solve this problem is, the casino should ask "KYC" before they can deposit or even play. That's the only way to solved this from my perspective, even streamer/youtuber make a restriction age for the content.

Sometime your kids more smart enough to find the solution ~XD If you want to prevent kids gambling, the casino should be asking "KYC" at the time they're register not after they're playing or even deposit.

Children think so much in "immediately", unlike adults who plan for the future and are in the habit of saving (not all), the littles try to satisfy their desires as soon as possible, and these "illusory" videos of multiplying something by 1000x or more are a "full plate" for they.

Youtubers and Streamers saw gambling as a way to absurdly increasing their views with the "foolproof tactics" of making money, is something that everyone looks for, especially children who earn a small allowance.

I think it's wrong, for sure, but unfortunately, there's no way to ban it and the controls that exist today on the internet are very precarious.

Advertising can't be stopped because this is a business for sure, all marketing will be entered everywhere, including a stream that has been sponsored and is a testimony of children when watching the video, this cannot be avoided because children's concerns about gambling are certain there is a desire to enter her and become addicted.

One thing that can be controlled is that parents if they are underage and we know that many games have become addicted because of the booming trend, then there can also be gambling that sees it, after imagining it, they will definitely try to place a bet. .

I'd replace that Sometimes with Mostofthetime, From what I've seen people (when they grow old) become slow, and their ability to learn new things degrades compared to what it was in their youth.

Many people wouldn't play on certain casinos if they started asking for KYC, on the other hand, what stops these children from using the ID of their parents for the KYC.

Children gambling should no way be encouraged because it exposes them to illicit acts, they would try to get money by every means including stealing it to play gambling. I guess there should be restrictions from the online betting companies against children so that if they are underaged they will be denied access. The parents too will have a major role to play to discourage their children against early gambling. Early gambling is the fastest way to become an addict and other hard life.

I think it's unrealistic to protect children from gambling. Almost every child who spends his free time with his peers at least once in his life has played money in a card game and it's not about upbringing. The point is that each of us gets our own life experience, regardless of whether it's good or bad.

At the start of the registration tab, there is a checklist box of consent to agree that you are above 18 years old. That means if you had created an account that means you have agreed on their terms and you are above 18 years old. In a crypto casino, the site will not be able to check this because they wont ask for your KYC but in most licensed fiat casino they will ask for verification when you want to withdraw

Notice the sentence that was underlined? The key point is consent. It doesnt matter if you are below 18 years old, as long as you have consented by creating an account that means its out of anyone's responsibility

Think about this.

- Government doesn't ban cigarettes because it profits them and disregarding people dying from cancer.
- Government controls what is shown on TV and what I've seen - There are Gambling Ads, Tobacco ads and kids watch that, TV also uses a certain frequency to appeal to what's shown on the TV to certain parts of your brain, but they never tell you this.

Most of the people live to feel good, there's no problem in that - But when they Knowingly promote retarded stuff to an underage audience by showing off their achievements then what impression will it give to those kids? --- The People promoting this stuff are popular and rich and since they're promoting this stuff then it must be real. Rest is History.

Its up to every parent and guardians to guide their kids and children against gambling children should be discouraged to desist from gambling its a pity YouTube didn't place a warnings and dangers of children being expose and  endeared to gambling unfortunately there is no regulations of most of those advert against kids thus  parent and guardians has a big role to play and to take up the challenge of ensuring that any gambling related advert that can jeopardize their wellbeing and future is curtailed at that moment until they attain the minimum age requirement for gambling and at least most finish and earn some academic certificates.

Of course this is what happened but at least we can control our children's online activities...

I have always been a friend to my son and asked him slowly what he was doing today, gambling advertisements made me worried, children have high curiosity, I am very afraid that they will fall into the online gambling trap.

Then what is your suggestion?

There is no single solution anymore, you're just getting an absolute no-sense answer + not solved the problem! KYC first before you can play or even deposit is the only solution for this problem, they using ID parent or other people's ID? is simple just need to add one more rule "KYC" while you need to picture yourself with the "ID" to make sure the id belongs to the person. This also to prevent someone using people ID.

If the kids ask to their parents for doing photos by holding an "ID" then they will have some suspicious with their kids. People hate KYC? come one even you can withdraw without "KYC" on every TOS/T&C (If you read off course) there always has some situation casino will ask you doing "KYC".

[dothebeats]

This is why a lot of Twitch streamers are calling out some other big names in the streaming industry to not promote gambling platforms or any games associated with gambling to their audiences, especially since these streamers have a lot of followers that are minors and can obviously not filter who can watch their ads/content that has some elements of gambling to it. Then again, you really can't assume full control on this industry because this is how streamers are making their money, and being ethical won't really put some food on their tables.

It's really up to the parents of the children to monitor and keep their kids away from gambling, if possible. That's the only way to not get the kids addicted to gambling at an early age.

Frankly it is shameful that regulators around the world, who will often have strong regulation banning gambling adverts from TV or other media, have fallen asleep at the wheel when it comes to social media. You can guarantee that many of these so-called "influencers" will sell out to anyone who will pay them a buck and will advertise anything they can get away with. Crypto-related advertising can go especially unnoticed because it is often unregulated as governments work at a very slow pace - they are barely putting in changes to cope with the advent of the internet. It must be much tougher growing up now and exposed to all these people online that have become the new role models who can be very sneaky for their own financial benefit, it's a real shame - some examples need to be made of these false representations that rarely mention getting paid to advertise.
