Never gamble in front of your kids.

[junder]

Actually children are easily to learn on what they saw. Curiosity of children lead them to involve such things and if Their parents gamble in front of them then one thing for sure they will try it cause they feel thats okay cause their parents did.  But in reality not just the parents but also all people around them if a children lives in a crowded place a lot of gamblers then without a doubt many children will  involve in gambling even though In their younger age.  Influencers are everywhere so we need to take good care of our children.

That's right, because young children will certainly be easily attracted to things that do make it interesting for them. Also, children's curiosity is great, so they can be easily attracted and easily learn the things they see, it's true what you said when they see things they like and it's interesting then they can insist on imitating it, especially seeing gambling in the form of a game then most likely they can be interested in trying it, so therefore don't gamble in front of children, because it can have a bad impact on their future, I myself don't want that to happen.

That's right, if there are a lot of gamblers in the neighborhood then it's likely that they could get involved too, because environmental factors also affect their development. Giving more supervision must be done, in my opinion even though we are adults it does not mean we are free from parental supervision, so we should be able to supervise the children around us, don't let them learn things that shouldn't be like gambling because it's not a good right.

Yes, I agree with that, so far I haven't seen many children addicted to gambling, I think they have reasons not to become active gamblers there because their minds are not ready to earn their own money and are more focused on studying at school. That's probably why children they are not really addicted to gambling because they have nothing to pursue in gambling unless they really want to just have fun with their friends, so a child will not follow the behavior of their parents in gambling which is usually the case when parents gamble only to earn money to find additional necessities for life.

So that's why many adults are more addicted to gambling than children because I believe in their vision and mission of gambling at the beginning, if it's because of money they will usually easily get addicted to gambling, sometimes I often see neighborhood children playing slot gambling around the house. usually they just have fun with their friends and don't overdo it, let alone be addicted to gambling, occasionally I often see them playing while laughing and laughing at the gambling they do, they don't really take it seriously.

Your statement regarding why children tend to be less likely to have a gambling addiction makes a lot of sense and I agree with the reasons you gave here, it is true that a child will be more likely to like things that are fun and most of those things do not have an element of earning but rather lead to activities that will spend their playtime, a child's mind will not really be on "how to make money" because they don't really think about money and don't really know the importance of money in life, at that age there is nothing else they want other than just playing with some things they like, and different from adults who already have their own responsibilities to make money to make ends meet because they are no longer fully dependent on both parents.

We can conclude that the situation factor also has a big influence on a person, or that means the situation can be an impetus for someone to put the goal of making money in gambling, none other than this because of the need factor which basically cannot be tolerated, you have also said one of the things that will be on someone's mind is that they try to make gambling a place to increase their income and I believe in that. On the other hand I would say that it is quite unlikely for a child to know about gambling let alone become addicted to it because as we have discussed above their mindset is still not fully aware of the "value of money", but on the other hand I would say they can become addicted if there is basically someone forcing them to engage in gambling without limits.

Basically, never gamble at home, as much as possible choose another place to do it even though it is based on online gambling. Delete your browsing history when you visit any website related to gambling, because it could be that without our knowledge, children like to explore our cellphones. The impact of gambling in front of children is quite large, they will tend to no longer respect you if they understand that gambling is a bad thing, and will also follow in your footsteps if they are curious about the games you play.

In my opinion, these two things include other impacts, in the long term, gambling in front of children makes them trapped in a period of Inferiority Complex (feeling inferior), because they have parents who behave badly. Therefore, as much as possible, do not gamble in front of children, because we will never be able to control other impacts that may result from our own actions. Even if children already know about our gambling activities, then giving them an understanding is a wise solution.

From their young minds they will think that there's something that they need to explore, as watching their parents enjoying it will create interest and, with how the technology keeps on growing young kids can easily access the internet and trace whatever interest they've got while seeing their parents doing something on their devices.

It's your responsibility to prevent your child being exposed to any form of gambling. You never know how far they can go in terms of following your steps, thinking that there's no problem if even at their young age, they will be able to learn how to play the gambling game that you are playing.

Anything that they could be able to watch with their parents are really that always right on which it would really be that so likely that those kids would really be ending up on being a gambler
once they've seen that their parents is really that getting involved with gambling or lets say that they do actively seen up their guardians on doing such stuff or even just living on an environment such as this
then there would really be no doubt on what kind of kid it would become when it grows up, but somehow not all would really be surely be going there but high chances but there would really be those
kids who do able to think up well and realizing in between good actions and bad actions. There would really be those realizations in the end.

As a parent then it would really be that a resposible thing for you to do so that better to raise up your children on the right way or path on which gambling should really
be never be included on the moment that they are still growing up.

Hey gamblers' community, hope you're all doing great.
I wanted to convey my message here that gambling in front of our kids may put adverse effects on their growing minds and they may also take the wrong path and start gambling (either by asking you personally for funds or by stealing it in order to fulfill their gambling cravings).

That's an unfavorable example and every parent certainly does not want their children to be involved as what they do, especially if the activity is a gambling. But we also do not forget that children are almost 50% will follow their parents and even though they don't know their parents are active gamblers. Educated children on a more correct path and try they are not involved in gambling at an age that is still adolescent because it is feared they are not able to be responsible for their lives.

I'm sharing this because I saw this issue with my kiddo who was once watching me gamble at a website playing blackjack and she started asking me more about the game. Then one day, she wanted to play it herself and asked me if she can go for it and I said "no, it's not your legal age to go for such games". So, it's better to keep our kiddos away from gambling and let them focus on their studies, else it'd actually ruin everything for the whole family if the kid takes the wrong path.

It's your mistake and not trying to stay away when they want to gamble, children will be more active in asking something they see from his father's activities because it might be curious about the desire to know. Worse yet if they start to dare to ask to play and ask how? Children should be more focused on completing educational studies and they should not be involved in neglecting activities. If you are not able to control it is very feared that it will affect their lives and which results in their education unable to be resolved.

There are some things we need to put into consideration before we attempt doing it. For us to gamble at home, we need to make sure that our children are not there or available so that don't catch us red handed betting or playing games. It is good when we carry all our gambling activities to outside of our home so that we don't do something that will make our children to want to gamble too because they see us gambling.

Gambling is not for children, it for adult that is why we need to know what we are doing so we don't cause some scenes that will make children to want to learn how to gamble because they see us gambling. Gambling is good if that is what we care about and we don't have to call ourselves to gamble because that alone can have a consequence on us especially when we gamble and couldn't make any profits for ourselves.

It is possible because many casinos nowadays do not require any from of KYC when creating an account in their webpages in the first place. Some technological savvy children or teen could easily use their own email address to create one and verify it, though I am not so sure whether it would be as easy for them to deposit, because the access they would need to some Credit card or exchange.  It would be more likely some children would end up looking for gambling games on Google and play poker or slots with fake money in some webpages, from there it would only get worse in the case they got hooked onto those games.
I am not sure how common are fake money gambling games on the internet nowadays, but when I was a child, it was very easy to get to them in webpages which were intendes to host free games for children, most of them powered by Flash. It was a good era, luckily I did not got hooked to those games, as I preferred adventure games.
Anyways, regardless whether it is easier for children to acess to casinos nowadays or not, prevention and education are keys for them not to become addiction victims at a very young age. 
I would rather to educate a children of mine, instead of making gambling some kind of taboo to them.

Wonder how many of you have kids? I believe they rarely copy what you do, but show some interest in things when you express feeling loud and brightly. If you gamble and show zero emotions, they will never get curious about what you are doing. But if you shout WOW! Finally! Yoo-hoo! Hooray! No! or curse loudly, then no doubt they would run close and ask what is it all about. By looking on modern kids, I think it is like mission impossible to get their attention and drag them out of their devices. I think they would not even notice adults gambling.

Not really for sure but i would really be definitely be not that confident on letting my kids do sees me on the time i do gamble. Whether you would really be that being emotional or having no emotion on the time that
you do play. Sooner or later they would really be having those questions into their mind on what the heck you've been doing? As their parent then its impossible that they wont really be that curious on the things that you've been dealing with. On the time that they would be asking then what you would answer? Trying to teach them about gambling? I dont think that this would be a good idea but if you do accept about possibility becoming a gambler with your kids then its your choice.

I cant see myself to be that confident on doing some gambling activity in front of my kids even if i do know that they are somewhat responsible but we dont know on when gambling urge do happens
or those curiosity would really be on peak. This is why its better to avoid than to risks it out.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Some people can just be as shameless as having many things being done in the presence of their children, these are things that are obvious to be more worse than gambling, such could be fighting, intercourse, smoking, drinking and the gambling as we are making discussion on presently, as parent, we should know the proper way of training our children because they will have to rely on us for their proper upbringing, its something bad if the children were not being corrupted from outside but getting this right from within through their parents.

Yes, because usually a child will feel interested if they see something that makes them curious, such as when they see new things in their life but not all of them they like, the point is what makes them quite curious. And regarding gambling, I believe that it is unlikely that a child will be involved in gambling if basically there is nothing that influences them, such as someone who introduces them along with some tempting theories that can make them feel interested, then it is possible. .

It is unlikely for a child to immediately know that what you are doing is a gambling activity, it will not be that easy for a child who is still innocent to conclude something just by looking because the scope of their life is not yet broad, or that means they do not yet know the things that are involved. adults know about it, and if the scenario is like what you said here, where adults act very excessively in responding to their gambling activities, such as shouting loudly when something happens in their gambling session, whether they win or lose, then clearly that will attract the attention of a child to come. and ask about what is going on, but even so, as I said above, it will not be that easy for an innocent child to immediately know that you are gambling.

I'm not so sure about what you said. Some kids are like sponges and they absorb everything they see. Even if you don't shout loud or make violent movements, if you feel thrilled, worried, excited or sad, they will notice it, even at unconscious level.

IMO, as I said in a prior post, there is nothing wrong with playing lottery from time to time, for example, in front of children. In fact, in my country, in the year's most famous lottery (which is televised and played by 70% of the population) lucky numbers are taken out from the drum by children, and many children watch the draw with their parents. It's already part of the culture.

But in the case of more hardcore games, like slots or even sports betting, I think that children are safer if they don't participate in their parent's hobby, at least until they've grown up and developed more critical and self control skills.

Some things are easier said than done, there is nothing wrong with gambling at home what matters is that when we do we should be able to hide it from our kids. If you don`t gamble at home when you are using an online platform then the advantage of convenience and anonymity provided by online gambling has been taken away. I have been gambling at home for over 7 years and I will tell you that my wife and kids are not aware that I gamble. The gambling apps are always hidden after I gamble because both my wife and children always have access to my phone so I wouldn’t want them to bomb into the app any day and that is why I hide the app after gambling.

Another reason why it is difficult for them to know that I gamble is because I don’t allow my gambling to influence my behaviour at home. Whether I win or not I am always myself. When I win I don’t get carried away by excitement to avoid my wife or kids asking the reason why I am excited. That can trigger a lot of investigation because even if I try to lie to handle the situation it might not be convincing so I try to avoid it. On the other hand, when I lose I don`t show my anger or try to transfer aggression. The ability to control the gambling activity as I have noted is what matters because even when we gamble offline and do it recklessly it will affect the family and they will find out and that can strain the bond in the family.

You claim that your wife and children are unaware? Rethink your thoughts. Evidence of absence is not the same as absence of evidence. The apps may go unnoticed by them, but what about the symptoms you aren't aware of yourself exhibiting? People are perceptive beings who can detect even the smallest shifts unconsciously. It's not only about avoiding detection; it's also about subtly imparting knowledge to them. And, believe it or not, every day, with every secret app, every controlled reaction, you are teaching them

It's a house of cards that will eventually fall. The true risk will come when you discover whether your family has restored their trust in you. Consider that

Social gatherings is where kids probably see more gambling activities when adults play table games as a past time. They would usually put money on the table while some kids would be watching at the back. Many of us here probably grew up in that kind of environment. We learned how to gamble at a young age but still ended up fine.

What you said here is very true, we can shield our children from watching us gamble or not to let them engage in gambling, when we're with them in the comfort of our homes, they'd listen to us, but what about when they're outdoor, probably seeing adults that are gambling in the open, we can't stop them from seeing and being curious. I think that at certain age of our children we need to teach them things according to there levels of understanding, example is telling them the implications of certain things that they see adults do in the open and on screen. As regards gambling we need to let them to understand about irresponsible gambling and how the individual can become an addict and ruin their lives.

Same with my opinion, they'll gonna think that there's no problem imitating their parents from what they are doing, if they see that those people who are with them are doing it then there's no problem for them to do it also, being a guardian or parent needs to have that kind of self-responsbility knowing that there are always possibility that the people especially those young child can be affected indirectly of our actions, it's better to stay away or far away from them if you can't resist the desire of playing/gambling to prevent them gaining interest to what we are doing.

We as parents do have the experience and have the knowledge about on things on this world and we are already wary about those probable things that it could lead out when our children
would really be able to know about playing gambling. If you are someone or a parent thats been engaging with gambling then it would really be just that right that you should really be responsible with your actions so that you wont really be that making yourself having those kind of regrets on the time that you've seen your children is really that doing the same stuff as you do.
There are ones who would really be might be having that good control since not all kids would really be getting a fond off things that they've seen around even into their own parents.

Children should have their own personal rooms so they won't be able to witness your gamble experience, more especially when you are a reckless gambler, your children shouldn't see your gambling practice or patterns because they will learn from you. When they feel like testing what they saw their partner of gambling might be worse than yours.

[HelliumZ]

As a father the first task will be how to ensure the future of the child, in this case no parent wants to do something that will affect their children's career badly. Little boys get excited about gambling in front of girls. Children get many harmful habits from these parents.can learn and start to affect those harmful habits later on in their lives. My advice to these parents is that you who have become addicted to gambling should provide some alternative entertainment for the children in front of the children so that the children cannot master your harmful habit.

Even if you delete your online traces for gambling, the kids and children are clever enough to know what their parents are doing. The children knows what you are doing and they observe things very keenly and also try to follow their elders. If parents want their children do not gamble, they need to get rid of gambling themselves. There is no way that the parents gamble (openly or hiddenly) and the children do now know and follow them.

In my opinion, these two things include other impacts, in the long term, gambling in front of children makes them trapped in a period of Inferiority Complex (feeling inferior), because they have parents who behave badly.

If parents lose in gambling, they will become frustrated and in this situation, they can behave badly with their children and abuse or punish their children too even though they have nothing wrong done by those children. I do not understand how to cope with such a situation but if the person is doing a responsible gamble he will be able to control his emotions and therefore he will behave normally with his kids, wife and all those near to him.
