Gambling Exposed to children

[Pamadar]

I've seen some of the parents struggle on this part because most of them are busy with their work and businesses. But since most people are working from home, they're going to have more time and teach their children to not engage with gambling and it's too early for them or just tell them that they shouldn't be which is better.

But there are always cases where children managed to stay away from the eyes of their parents or parents aren't doing much research on what their child is doing it's not only gambling a child can get addicted to but there is other stuff such as heroin addiction and later on, forces them to commit crime because their norm earnings can't sustain the consumption of their drugs.

Most parents even tend to get into the private life of their children just to make sure that they do not engage in activities that will not benefit them,but most children will not listen,or better still,will hide and gamble,and do some other activities that are not encouraging. Gambling has become the order of the day.Even children engage in gambling.

As a parent, it's your duty to interfere if there's something bad your children is engaging with,

There are more exposures that we can see not just on the internet but also with friends and relatives where our children are exposed.
The more we continue to chase them out, the more pressures our kids will see that they shouldn't do things like that. Sometimes annoying them is the best way to throw them out away from this gambling industry.

Yes I see a lot of people streaming online not only the children will be exposed to gambling but of course out of their curiosity they will would definitely try this out especially they are about to win real money, I think youtube and twitch are not that strict in regards with this kind of contents.

As strict as restrictions are on the Internet, they are easily circumvented, and we all know that very well. As I have already repeatedly said it makes absolutely no sense to forbid something to a child, but to teach him to fully trust you and listen to your advice and recommendations is quite possible. Once you get your child's trust you can easily find out what he does on the Internet and at the right moment you can convince him to give up this or that content or hobby.

we have a different way of disciplining our kids, me, I would never expose them to online gambling as I know if they learn, I might not be able to monitor them and since they are just kids, they are not matured enough, so they might easily get addicted, and I don't want to blame myself for being an irresponsible parent too.

It is still part of parenting. They have an important role but there's a need to know what's the root cause of it. For children that are engaged with those things early, you really have to look at how the parents take care of them. If it's not for the parent's negligence, they will find the cause of it and will help their children to teach and explain why they shouldn't be engaged with those things. Too bad for those children that are engaged with those early if they've got no parents anymore but they should have the guardian or any relative that takes care of them.

Two thoughts on this one: Firstly, any sentence that has the word "children" on it should not ever be in company of "sex", "drugs", "gambling", "working",... You know what I mean. On the other side, each age and even each culture is a different world. You have kids that are mature with 14 years and you have other that are 17 (or 40 for that matter) and have little control and responsibility over themselves.

But there may be something good about getting ripped when you are 14 following a shitty youtuber scammer - you will not be able to loose a lot, as you cannot really open an account in most places if you are underaged, and you will rarely loose a large amount of money because you probably don´t have it anyway - yet you will learn a valuable lesson for life.

Parenting is surely playing a big role for their kids to be raised up well and properly but there are factors which could really affect their decisioning and it would vary on how they've been able to aware
on some possible situations that they might encounter.

Not only gambling is exposed to children but other things as well which might be immoral or something which isn't good for young minds.

Its the job or responsibility of a parent on taking good care and leading them into a good path.

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.

How would you keep your kid effectively from watching shit stuff on Youtube? I can tell you that's impossible, and if the kid doesn't use its own iPad, it might already hold yours in its hand. It is really difficult to exclude videos you deem bad for your kid. There is all kinds of stuff on the platform and they already know the tricks how to get the stuff rolling on the iPad that they want.

Today's children are already used to the internet, so sometimes they understand it better than their own parents. I admit it's not easy to control
what kids watch on YouTube, sometimes my 8 year old son accidentally watches adult material. Therefore, there must be good communication
between children and their parents. So children will ask their parents new things they have met, and if the material is not good, then explain well,
that it is bad for them. So far I have always maintained good communication with my son and he can understand there is content that they are
not allowed to see. Sometimes my child when he sees someone kissing immediately looks away, because I have given sex education from an early age.
Likewise with gambling content, if we explain well, our children can understand that it is not a good thing for them.

The problem is the whole streaming shit from some idiots on Youtube and Twitch. Those are the idols of the 8 year old kids from today. And the real issue about this is that these "idols", big Youtubers and Twitch streamers, do in fact advertise gambling websites, play it on their stream and pretend to win thousands and thousands that they get donated by the gambling service provider anyway. That is bad! The streamers then say it is not their responsibility to take care of their audience and the age of those watching them, it's the parents responsibility. I disagree because these streamers also earn their money off of those kids with merchandising and donations and other stuff.

Sure, but the power of influencers kind of got out of control. That is why I used the word idol. These young kids see those influencers and like what they do, see them driving big cars just by making youtube videos. It gives them the impression that whatever that youtuber does, it obviously must make a lot of sense or otherwise he wouldn't have that house and that car. There is a lot of legitimization going on in kids' heads when they see all the amassed wealth and the style these guys live their "digital dream". That's a dangerous development and I am curious how this will play out. 20 years ago every second kid answered it wants to become a firefighter when grown up, today every second kid answers it wants to become a youtuber. Who is then going to fight the fire if the house is in flames?
I'm also actually disappointed with influencers who have a large following of children, they should be wiser when promoting gambling in their content.
I know they need income from the gambling sites they promote, sometimes we as humans have to have a little conscience in making money. Don't
let the money we make make other people harm, good influencers must choose the products they will promote, not to the detriment of their
followers. But it is very difficult in today's digital era, many people put money above all else.

So there is no other choice, parents have to work hard in taking care of their children, by establishing good communication with their children.
So that all the things that their children see can be known by their parents, because if there is good communication with their parents, children
will tell whatever they have seen to their parents. Sometimes as a good parent you have to put yourself as a friend, so children do not hesitate to
tell anything to their parents. This will make it easier for parents to control their children.

The problem is the powerlessness of parents in balancing a civilization that is already very advanced, which is a serious problem
not finished. because sometimes parents don't understand and are smarter than children in using smartphones and in my country there are lots of cases like this because when it's not parents who teach their children to use smartphones, it's the opposite in my country. It is the children who teach their parents to use both gadgets and laptops.
although it's not all like that but there are cases like this in my country and I'm sure in other countries it will also be like this

Yes, the role of parents is a must if they do not want to see their children become addicted to gambling in the future or when they grow up. We can not deny that but we can eliminate or prevent that thing from appearing in our children, but we need to explain to them the danger of playing gambling instead of the winning they can get. Maybe the ISP in our country will block the gambling activity showing the ad on our devices, especially if our government does not allow people to gamble.

I totally agree with you, because in cases like this parents have a very important role in preventing children from engaging in gambling, I think in this modern era it will be difficult to limit children from playing gadgets, but actually parents can approach and spend more time with their children, so that gradually children will prefer to spend time with their parents rather than playing or accessing gadgets, and I am sure if parents have a lot of time for their children, of course their children will be able to avoid bad behavior including gambling .

Normally the internet which is coming in our homes is not filtered and you can access anything on it. Since now internet can be opened on mobile too, its hard to trace the activities of the children on mobile phone. Unfortunately the world we are living in right now, it hard to control children from gambling. Even most gambling sites allow you to play without KYC, so minors can also play and lose money.

So if everything good or bad is available in the internet, its no excuse for the parents that they cant control their children. They should tell the children to stay away from gambling, monitor closing where the child is spending their pocket money etc etc.

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

As I have observed too children today are easily to adopt the new technology and I have also witnessed that the child teach his/her parents how to use gadgets rather than a parent who must teach the child. Today, children learned a lot of this things outside home and they are more curious to know a lot about technology which it is inevitable that they could possibly access sites that supposedly not suitable for them like gambling sites. This is a serious problem by the way but no one have had found the best solution to prevent a child being so engaged in technology.

[Natalim]

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.

The problem nowadays is that parents don't want the responsability of monitoring their children, so they outsource this function to the digital gadgets or to the school members. The result are many children without any guidance, because digital devices and teachers aren't sufficient to replace parents' participation in children's lives.
The excuse is always that parents work too much, have little time to spare with their children. However it doesn't matter at all, since excuses don't solve the issue of a kid who doesn't know what is right or wrong, what he should or shouldn't do because he wasn't taught accordingly by those who generated him. If parents were more participative with their children along the day there would be less problems like gambling addiction in their lives futurely.

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.

Yes, it's their role to protect their children from everything that these kids might discover in a harmful way. Their young minds will definitely think of it most of the time and cannot stop getting on it from time to time if they've introduced and discovered those things that they shouldn't. Like gambling and other internet materials that are too innocent for their minds and eyes. We all know it and if you're a parent you understand that because when we're on our younger days up to teenage days, we know how it goes.

If the parents can not watch over their children, do not give them gadgets and make them spend their time alone because that can make them visit the site they should not be. It is better if their parents stay beside them if they want to use gadgets so parents can know what they're doing.

It is important to teach them how to manage money at their ages so they can do better when they grow up and will not try to spend their money without something they do not really need. They can know that they do not have to gamble to make money when they grow up and it is better to save their money on other things.

The children who are exposed to gambling will surely do the same and those children will also start gambling. I have seen below 18 gambling by using games as their platform and they fight whoever wins and winner takes the money. Even as of now, I have seen a young boy bet on a team where he think that the team he bet will win and the results will be known once the game ends using either first person shooting games or games like dota 2 and more.
