The Rise of Mobile Gambling Is Leaving People Ruined and Unable to Quit

[South Park]

The technology really affects the time duration that people who enjoy or maybe get addicted to gambling, by simply clicking the site and everything is set to go.

It's alarming and without proper control of your time and good money managements, the chance of getting broke is really high.

Time is quicker when we're in front of our gadgets and that's why it's really making us spend a lot of time using these gadgets. It's a very effective way to kill time if you don't have anything to do.

You just sit and use your gadget and then later on, an hour has already passed.

Alarming as it is when you're not worried about your usage and time. And for the bettors that uses their phone, there's not that much of a problem if it's consuming their time.

A great deal of the problem is the notification system, if you have to use your phone you just grab it and do whatever you want, however with notifications your phone is always ringing and reminding you that something is happening, most of the time what's happening is not important and it doesn't matter if you take your time and respond whenever you have time available, but this creates anxiety in people believing that they are missing something important, so they check the phone not because they actually want to do it but as a reaction to a stimulus, and if you do this enough times then it will become impossible for you to ignore those notifications, wasting a lot of time in the process.

I think this is an issues that has been around for some time and I’m not sure all the new legal gambling in places like the United States really is making a big difference in the rise or mobile gambling. I think it comes down to parents doing a better job raising their children and teaching them about the dangers of excessive gambling and doing a better job monitoring them.

Strict supervision on developing youths is the key to prevent this. A lot of kids nowadays are involved in a lot of mobile games and some even tend to use their parents' money to gamble, or to buy in-game items and them gamble it online. If it's kept tight by their parents and shut down every opportunity for the kid to gamble, then I think the kid will realize that if their parents are that strict, it must be something that is really, really grave. Then again, supervision is not something that millennial parents are good at. They are busy making money that they are forgetting to watch their kids grow and learn of their habits and activities.

This is what im doing and always been reminding into my kids about gambling and other things which could be possibly be seen online whether those violence related things too which you should really make them aware and tell them about avoiding it as much as they could so that they wouldnt really be able to make themselves getting involved  with those.Parenting and guidance might not be perfect but at
least you have done your part as a parent.It would always be depending on how you do guide them on the right path although each one of us does have their own will and intellect on doing things
and make out some judgement but at least you had told them about its cons.

You have to set that manually for you to still be on time with how long you're using your phone, whether it's for gambling or gaming.

But that's a good idea and there are people who have been doing that to remind themselves voluntarily that they should stop once the notification and alarm rings.

Yes, parents aren't giving enough attention to their kids and punishing them accordingly when needed nowadays. I see kids think it's fine to steal parents' credit cards in order to use it for in-game purchases and some parents even record videos about these situations, showing it to the public as entertainment and as if it were interesting, curious and funny. When this happens, of course other children also watch those videos and develop a desire for repeating the same actions with their parents at home. If adults had a more serious approach regards this matter with their children I think these cases would decrease a little, at least.

this is a great way to remind yourself that your time is up to hold your phone while you are gambling or playing games.
but it seems very difficult for an addict who is already very brave to sacrifice everything to play gambling. they don't care what's going on or what's going on all he thinks about is to keep gambling until he gets what he wants until he feels the satisfaction inside the phone.
but if only for gamblers who don't have an addiction, this method is very effective as one of the easy ways to do it

When I first experienced how addictive internet is, my mind was blown. Over time it became even far more addictive with many gaming options. I think smartphones enable this so hard. When you have computer you need to leave it to move. But smartphones are always with us. It definitely makes online gambling businesses far more profitable. Although gambling addiction can hit vulnerable people so hard. There must be "quit" mechanism.

I think it is felt by many people, especially those new to the internet. They can discover many things they do not know, increasing their knowledge. Especially now, having a smartphone has become a necessity for most people, especially those busy working outside the home without carrying a laptop. This is also experienced by gamers who use their smartphones to play games and make them addicted. I think this also happens in the gambling business, where some people play gambling using their smartphones and this allows them to play anywhere.

It seems to me that what it is happening is that people are having trouble adapting to this new reality in which we are interconnected 24 hours a day, just a decade ago this was still relatively rare and people could get away with not having a smartphone, but in today's world this is something impossible to do, this means that those that have some problems with their impulse control can easily become addicted to anything they can do with their phones, and a few examples of this are social media or gambling.

This makes them explore further what the internet is and once they find that gambling is an interesting activity, it will be difficult for them to stay away from it or limit their time playing gambling. This also requires attention from us as smartphone users, especially for those who have money or a 24-hour internet connection. Yes, social media is a great example of limiting smartphone use so that it will not interfere with our other activities. Maybe if the development of smartphones and the internet is more advanced than now, this requires more attention and restrictions from us so that we can use smartphones and the internet properly.

Over-usages of your time online make you prone to getting addicted. It's not just the gambling concern, but there are bigger features that internet capabilities really provide to all the people who have access without restrictions. Though gambling is really a big concern since you can play wherever you are and whenever you want, unlike before which you needed to visit the offshore casinos to enjoy our favorite gambling games.

The technology really affects the time duration that people who enjoy or maybe get addicted to gambling, by simply clicking the site and everything is set to go.

It's alarming and without proper control of your time and good money managements, the chance of getting broke is really high.

With the internet connection available everywhere, it makes it easy for users to search for what they want and of course, if they want to search for a casino site, they will find it easily. But at least, if we can still control ourselves by not letting us gamble for too long, it will help us to avoid bankruptcy like most people out there.

Internet technology is like becoming a new friend to everyone because they can access it secretly without anyone knowing it. This is why we really need self-control so that things don't happen that are detrimental to us. Only using the internet properly can make us survive and even be able to use it well for our benefit.

Parents as well as schools since most kids are spending longer hours at school with their friends than at home with their parents. A big challenge for this is not only that minors can easily declare themselves to be at a legal age online, they're also mostly given privacy at home. Parents are often respecting their children's space and boundaries so much so that it is somehow rude for them to check their kids' phones.

A good idea to interrupt you while enjoying the game. The only problem with that is when you already have the addiction inside you. It will be easy to ignore knowing that notification is just created by you. We all understand how aggressive each addicted gambler just to play the game, the focus is centered inside the game and they are impossible to be disturbed.

That's how the generation being treated now, child privacy are also being respected by their parents, digital devices are mostly allows and they are free to do things that they've desire, not generalizing though but there are places where these practices are being observe.

I guess it boils down to the culture, In Asia, children are being taught to respect their elders. And in turn elders or parents can snoop on their children without having their kids calling the cops or something like in the West.

But I do agree that parents is one factor that really shape the minors. If they see that their parents are playing around with their smart phones, for sure they could be influence and might play their parents phone or them registering and gambling when their parents is not around.

I think children are just uninformed that they have the right to sue their parents if their parents verbally assaulted them.   It is more on information dissemination I think,  those people who are in asia that knows their right file a complaint against their parents with the help of either their neighbor and/or trusted person.  There are cases happening like that but rare because of the stated reason.

But I do agree that parents is one factor that really shape the minors. If they see that their parents are playing around with their smart phones, for sure they could be influence and might play their parents phone or them registering and gambling when their parents is not around.

It is agreed and proven that parents is one who has a greater influence in shaping minors.  Because minors learn as they grow, and their parents are mostly around during those times so kids often inherit their parents traits and attitude.  So it must be the parents task to guide and ground their children in relation to gambling activities.

In todays era then it is really hard to avoid yourself on having your phone with you considering that everything is almost circling around with mobile phones because this is the main communication that we do have.

Having it doesnt automatically means that we are involved in games or other things which arent that important.Lets say it is crucial for your everyday work since communication with other co-workers will really
be that important.

Therefore, your children would able to see it most of the time.It all matters on how you would really be handling out your kids on those various situations.

You can break your own rule if you will rely on it.

I've read several confessions that have done it but it didn't worked for them when they've tried to because that's not how it is. And as an addicted gambler, no one can stop them when they're enjoying, eager and focused.

Given to non addicted gamblers, they can easily acknowledge those notifications and alarms because they're not eager and they can stop completely when it's necessary.

Humans learn by imitation, basically if a baby sees their parents do something then the baby will want to do the same as well, as for them this is what is normal.

But if what they’re seeing is a behavior which is out of line then they’ll learn to imitate this as well, this is a known phenomena, which is why parents that abuse drugs or alcohol most likely will have children with the same problems, and it seems we’re making the same mistake but now with digital devices.

Gambling addiction has become commonplace in my area. for an adult who is no longer in school, we can't blame him for that because he makes his own money and it's up to him what to do with the money he has. but what makes me concerned is that gambling addicts are now emerging from among school students who are still underage. they spend their pocket money on gambling. because they can't make their own money. then I'm afraid it will damage their mental before plunging into the world of work. for adults gambling is entertainment in the midst of a hectic job. but I don't understand if a student does it. I hope the parents can keep an eye on them. but this is indeed difficult to avoid because easy access via smartphones makes it easy for teenagers to access it.

Students who have fallen for gambling addiction will surely have a hard time recovering. They are still young enough to control their emotions so we can't blame them if they felt overwhelmed when gambling. They're not using their hard earned money so they will never have a concern over their expenses in gambling. Temptations could also be everywhere online so they will always be tempted to gamble. I think that's when the role of parents should matter. We must always monitor our kids as well as their online activities. We should also enlighten them about the risks of gambling so we will be able to help them get rid of it.

precisely. The role of parents is very important here. and education about gambling is indeed important. because sometimes these students are not aware of the risks they are taking. because like you said. they do not feel a loss because they get money not from work but from pocket money given by their parents. so when the money runs out. then they just wait or ask to be given pocket money back. then of course this is a difficult thing for teenage students who are addicted to gambling. because they feel light even though they lose. because they find it easy to get money back. Parents must teach their children the impact of their actions on family finances. Of course, teaching must be slow and at the right time.

Parenting is important but it looks like the virtues of it is falling and failure by the day, this is as a result of hard means of sourcing for livelihood and both parents have to work to take care of the family. Moreover maybe this is just difficult to do these days with the rate of technological development even if the parents are saints, the children have to learn certain things outside the home through friends in school and they try those things out in their private hours. A smartphone with data for browsing is the world at hand.

The value of parenthood among these new generations of high-tech technologies is really important. We all discuss the potential risk of those young minds, especially with all those bad influences that they can watch/read online. But you are right with your sentiments, kids nowadays are protected by local laws which give them the right to put their parents in jail, the reality that way back kids are the one who are in jail when parent restrict them to anything.

Today's generation is prone to the threat of any potentially addicted hobbies. It's not limited to gambling, but there are more things that really engage people by using the internet.

The easy access using any mobile or digital devices permits them to enjoy whatever they desire to do.
