Never gamble in front of your kids.

[Rabata]

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.

Right now you forbid gambling because of age and support the idea of not gambling in front of kids. But what would be your attitude, if you win a millions? I think you wont hide your happiness, you would shout "YES!" like crazy or something like that, you would change your lifestyle after that. How you gonna explain it your kid? My point is - when we just gamble or lose, than gambling is not for kid, it is illegal, not for your age and etc. But when we win a lot, then "you've said you always wanted alive pink unicorn with giraffe and dinosaurs? here you are, we are rich now, enjoy life, forget about studies".  

But the point is that we can still gamble provided that our kids never see us. Because the moment they see us gambling, they will also gain curiosity and then ask about it. What we did was just to keep our kids away from getting interested in gambling because of what they saw. Of course, we can't hide this forever but we can explain them well when they are capable enough to understand gambling. As long as we still have the chance not to expose gambling to our kids, the better.

Children should be cared for until they grow up. As a father one must take proper care of the child. Children must be kept away from places where addiction may occur if he does any work. There is definitely a minimum age requirement for gambling, but if a child is interested in gambling, he can quickly become addicted to it. So, he may not develop normally. But when the child grows up and if they are gambling they will know better about their benefits and harms. So children should not be introduced to gambling until they get fill the minimum requirement of age.

[goxcraft]

it doesnt matter if they already knew or not , but at least don't justify gambling in front of them.

I'm not justifying anything. If you have the environment for these, then one way or another they will be exposed to it. For me, what is important is knowing the correct way of doing something. As an example, we all know exercising is good for everyone, regardless of age. But we all should bear in mind that anything what's excess isn't good. Sometimes it could bring harm rather than benefits. So knowing how to do an exercise, the proper way, the time, and the amount are important. Same for gambling. I don't want to publicly expose our kids to gambling, but if we see they are somehow involved in gambling, it is our duty to guide them and educate them so that they don't fall in the long run.

Children should not see how we are addicted to gambling, this will in any case be a bad example, no matter how successful you are in gambling. Children tend to copy us and one day they will want to repeat it after us, but without the proper skills this will not bring any good results. If you see your child has a craving for gambling, then you need to talk to him about it, explain all the difficulties and let him make the decision himself.

I could remember when I was young, my father always warn me to stay away from gambling, he said it will destroy you fast and he also made mention of some family members who ruined their lives with gambling addiction, he strongly believed that it will mess me up if I go into it, and thankfully, he saw an hope in Bitcoin investment, my father never act like old people do, we all know that older people believes less in technology but not my father, he made me, I am who I am today because of him, even when Bitcoin was just hundreds of dollars in value, my father believed that Bitcoin will work, till this day I am still surprised that my father thinks differently, like he knew something about Bitcoin's future.

I believe its a bad habit to gamble in from of your kids, they are too smart for everything, they catches every move around them, good or bad, your environment is what will reshape your children.

When I was 10 years old, I nearly turned into a smoker, because I have an uncle who was one, I was spending holiday with his family then and I felt like trying it out, because I thought it's cool to smoke some cigarettes, I tried it and my father dealt with me for doing it and he stopped me from visiting my uncle again, he died before my father and the cause was cancer.

There is nothing like allowing a child make any gambling decision him or herself, not when that child is still living under my roof..

I personally have my own personal conditions which my children must meet before I allow the child gamble under my roof..

First is that, the child must be above 18 years of age..
Secondly, the child must already be done with schooling,
Third, the child must be working, or job hunting atleast..

A child can not be totally idle under my roof and be gambling, I will never allow such.

Children need to be given enough knowledge to know what gambling is like and what kind of impact it has when they are involved in gambling, even though they don't know about gambling yet, it's not yet the time for them to know about things like that, but to anticipate them if one day they find out about it. Of course, things like this are not impossible because technology is now increasingly advanced and children can access gambling easily.
Providing knowledge about gambling is necessary because in the future if they find out about things relate to gambling they will thinks that gambling will have a bad impact on them and their future.

Generally no one under the age of 18 is allowed to join gambling or casino sites. It is considered as one of the main conditions in every gambling or casino where children under 18 years of age are not allowed to play in schools and colleges. It is generally seen that child laborers in our country are involved in gambling and most of the times they are also involved in anti-social activities. As there are no government facilities for these children, they are forced into child labor and later they do not hesitate to indulge in various anti-social activities. We have a responsibility as parents where we should stay away from adults who do child labor or who have school, college and primary school children under the age of 18 at home and join gambling or casinos. When we prevent gambling from our children very carefully then all our future children will be free from the negative effects of this gambling.

Indeed, children under 18 are prohibited from visiting casinos or online casinos. However, they can visit online casinos easily because they know how to have a gambling account at an online casino. The popularity of online casinos makes it easier for them to gamble because they can buy coins from other places and send them to their gambling accounts.

And just by watching adults play gambling, they already understand what they need to do before starting to gamble. Somehow, they quickly understood what they saw. So, it is true that we should not show gambling activities in front of them so that they do not imitate what we do.

And it is our responsibility as parents always to monitor our children's development. And with the right guidance, our children will not do things that could negatively impact their lives later.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Of course we should not gamble in front of our kids, because it will make them curious of what we are doing and keep asking about it and maybe they will ask to try it. It means that we have to choose the best time to gamble to avoid them watch us unintentionally while we are playing gambling. We should also minimize the chance of our kids accessing our browser as they may find it in the history of somewhere else in the browser.

It's not as if I am encouraging the fact that we should let our kids know that we are gambling, but the truth is that children are very sensitive. The moment they see you doing something, they want to find out what it is, so if your kids see you gambling, you can possibly explain to them and tell them the reason why they must not try it at their current age until they are fully grown. Sometimes, when you don't educate your children about something and they mistakenly learn it from another person and even begin to do it with your awareness, if you educate them and caution them, they will respect your instructions as their parents.

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).

Of course it's not right to gamble in front of our kids or wherever they're around and we have no privacy. In the eyes of kids, they tend to copy what adults do regardless of either it's good or bad. So letting them see you're playing might results for them to be curious and do the same, thinking it's normal.

Everytime i'm playing at home, I prefer to do it inside my room (alone or sometimes with my partner). If your kids by chance saw you playing, just to talk to them that it's not appropriate for kids and let them understand. Next time, make sure they can't see you, at their young age it's a bit hard for them to comprehend everything especially kids tend to ask a lot of questions.

[Jossque]

I am definitely against gambling around young people.Gambling is a bad habit and addiction.The longer we protect our young people from this bad habit, the better it will be for them.At least it can make their life better if they get involved at a late age rather than getting involved at an early age.Eventually we know that young people get involved in gambling to make money, but I can say that there is a big difference between starting gambling at 18 and starting at 25.
In the meantime, you have done the best thing. Some slots and gambling games are attractive to children and they are curious.

You've got a good point, for the people who are confused about why we always said to younger generations that gambling is bad and it can ruin their financial life or worst their career in the future, when we ourselves as an adult are doing it and it does look like we're fine with it.
So, the goal here is not to let your children see it's totally fine to get involved in gambling. Mold them to be financially stable and it doesn't matter if they get involved latter in the adulting stage because they will be in their right responsible mind when that time comes.
And yes, slots are way too attractive in the eyes of our children Lol!

I do not find it right for the younger generation to invest their money in such games. It is a sad situation that they should spend themselves, or rather their money, on more sensible places, especially on their own development, while they should spend their money on their own development, and perhaps continue to lose in gambling. For this reason, it is best not to play with your child and even if you are playing, it is best to take bets together with small amounts, because if he sees that you are betting here with high sums, he may spend all his pocket money here without your follow-up. Slot and casino games seem more enjoyable for children.

Me either. I don't want someone to see what I am doing as I feel uncomfortable with that. And it's like whoever in my family, I don't want to see them do it.

Kids these days are curious and will keep asking you what you're doing and they'll never stop unless you tell them what really is going on. It's going to be depending on how you will handle the talks on them and they're still kids, despite you need to teach them to tell a thing honestly. As a parent, you need to reciprocate that even if you don't want to.

This is common sense, but unfortunately there will always be a section of society that will not follow such advice and probably mess up future generations by instilling all sorts of other bad habits like littering or unnecessary swearing. If it's more of a card game, which can contain elements of skill and they are curious, then that may be a different matter and it can actually be wise to try to teach them about the mathematical probabilities. However if they're just watching someone endlessly and brainlessly play virtual slot games, which I don't understand how anyone can find stimulating, then they will either hate gambling forever or maybe even fall for it themselves because it becomes normalized.

Every parents have their way of doing things with their children, I have seen a father sent his son to go the gambling hall and bet tickets for him, and really I was surprised to see that. In gambling parents can't stop them to participate in gambling, the matter what you do, you are not with them always. In most time, Children play gamble through peer group in school and other social gathering. Children are funny are time, they like to test things that they see from their parents.

Children like video games and with that experience, they will like to test the main games though video games and sport games are different but it is only video games and casino games might have some resemblance. And children like to play casino games in event centers. Well guiding them from playing gamble is good but friends influence is very powerful in their life.

Gambling will devour you; this is not advice, but a strong warning to everyone in the system that he or she is not of gambling age. Gambling in front of our children is detrimental since we tend to influence their actions and growing up stage with dangerous gambling activities. They're infants and will seize the smallest opportunity when they're growing up; this is typical for all youngsters; the more reason we must defend our ground and become cautious around them; we should take preventive steps, rather than opening ourselves to the positive vibes around us.

It doesn't take long to make money in gambling side by side doesn't take long for a gambler to lose a mountain of wealth. So in gambling patience is an important matter. Those who pursue the loss will lose all his assets. Children should never understand that their father gambles only to make money. Then they too may indulge in such gambling which should not be for the future. But I don't think children should be taken to gambling or casinos until they are mature. Until they get a good idea about it.

Yeah, you are right, it's better to educate our children sometimes. But sometimes it's better if you don't even expose it to them at an early age. You might educate some of them, but they will still end up gambling behind you. When educating your children about gambling, you can't tell them that gambling is bad because they see you gambling also. The only thing you can tell them is that gambling addiction is bad, but if the kids try to gamble, they are likely going to get addicted. Most of the people who are addicted to gambling currently had the mindset of having fun alone when they started gambling, but they are addicted and they are finding it difficult to stop.

Gambling in the room away from our children sounds very good, but if your child tries to come into the room, isn't it better to turn off your PC or close your gambling session?
I think it's much better than you saying it's not good for children because you yourself said that children always imitate adults whether it's good or bad so as much as possible don't show your gambling games or gamble in the room after the child is sleeping or waiting for the child. we are outside the house.

I remembered a thread with the title keeping gambling a secret. Well, this thread is one of the reasons why we try to keep the gambling we do private, especially for underage children. As far as I've experienced in gambling, I've never even intentionally shown anything I did to my child. in this case, it is gambling. not only does it have a negative impact on the growth of their minds. However, this will affect his psychology, especially in the long term.

However, not all children like games, even those that involve betting. and what is dangerous is, a child who is interested in what adults play, especially when it comes to gambling. maybe they won't do it if there is no opportunity, but when they start to grow a little older even though they are still young, they will probably be interested in gambling. I will not say that the child cannot gamble forever, but when he is old enough and mature enough and he is responsible for himself. Whatever he does, it is his will and choice, including gambling. However, when my child is still a minor, it is not recommended at all to show off the gambling we do in front of our children. In fact, I limit my child from playing with his smartphone.

I think parents choose not to gamble in front of their children so that their children don't know about our gambling activities, because if they see us doing this there is a possibility that they will ask to play and we all know this is not very good for us. them, because we are adults, it is still very difficult to control ourselves in carrying out gambling activities, especially for those who don't understand what they are doing, children only think it is a game, maybe because with the cute pictures, the children will certainly like it. really agree with you that if we choose to gamble at home then it would be better for us to do it when the children are not with us.
