Never gamble in front of your kids.

But that depends greatly from how you present gambling to them. If you tell that you gamble for money to survive, of course they will want to try to help parents and also get engaged into gambling. If you explain that it is for fun, then maybe among all fun activities, they will choose gambling sometimes. Just an example that everyone face - you tell kids that you go to work everyday to earn money for food, toys, pay bills and etc. You tell them how important work is, because their and family life depends from it. But I dont see many kids lean into starting work and becoming workaholics as soon as possible.

As a parent, you shouldn't justify anything that has to do with gambling to your kid. If you tell them, you gamble for fun there is no difference if you tell them you gamble for money too. No matter what you tell them, when they make their findings, they will know that they can make money from gambling or chase wealth then they might deviate to be addicted gamblers chasing wins every day. The reality is for you not to them at all about gambling. What you should tell them is that gambling has a bad influence and lets them grow up to make their choice.

Children believe what they hear from their parents but one thing I still know about them at some certain age is that they are quick to explore. So, it is important to hit the nail on the head that gambling is a practice that would only wound and not make a man.

I think what he said is OK if the kid doesn’t know what gambling at all. At kids mind, it’s just a computer game since the money involved is just virtual which I kid will not understand.

This thing will escalated if the kids see the him showing some negative emotions, cussing while playing and other negative things that will affect kids mind. But to play safe, We shouldn’t play with kids presence since they are always on what we are doing and they might find it by themselves when they are alone or when they are already on the age which they are exploring.

playing in front of your children is wrong but in a country where documents are falsified to play and everyone closes their eyes or where they let minors play it is all possible it is true that teaching must come first from the family but also the place where born and raised counts I started seeing betting when I was very little and where my mind was forming in my country 15 year old kids already play slots because no one controls them and they can do what they want so it's the life and sometimes what they teach you at home isn't enough

That is a danger if kids has no control from their parents which can makes them feels free to do anything they want. They will not realizes that playing gambling can gives a risk of losing the money. Once they feels exciting to playing gambling, they will return to gambling and keeps playing gambling without stops. If their parents doesn't know about that, their kids can becomes addicted to gambling in their age and that will be more dangerous because that behavior will be continue when they are becomes adult people.

That's why we must take care of our children from anything that can gives a bad effect to them. Although we can't protect them every day, at least we can gives understanding to them for anything that can harm their lives so they will not trying to close to that matters.

As far as I can imagine the child will indulge in bad deeds only if he does not get proper education from his family. So I think if the family can give proper education to the children then he will never get addicted to bad deeds or games. Every parent has his right.  The parents of any family raised in education do not want their children to get involved in any bad activities.

Well you would be surprised at what the world has turned into these days and even the children too, although I understand the context of what you are actually trying to say and relate when it comes to the child's education but for some peculiar reason the parents aren't actually the sole framework responsible for the child's behavior especially when it comes to gambling and responsible one at that.

If we are talking about children aged 15 and above I think you are right that if their parents forbid them to gamble, they can still manipulate them by accessing from other devices or on other people's devices. Especially if the parents are not tech-savvy then it will make it easier for children to access gambling. But I think parents actually still have an important role when children are still 10 years old and under. The close bond between parents and children because of the time and attention given by parents can prevent children from gambling if their parents do not allow it.

At this age, children can really be much more advanced in computers and security, such as parental control and so on. They can also find various life hacks that will most likely help them bypass this barrier. Also, if someone at school learns to bypass it, he can start providing such services for money, because everyone wants to be free from control. Teenagers after 15 are already left to their own devices and are much more influenced by their surroundings than their parents. If the leader at school plays gambling and brags to others, then others will want to be like him and because of this, they will also start gambling.

Then what else? or I mean who else will be responsible for gambling done by children? I understand that there is a government that should move to overcome this problem, but everything must start from the smallest, I mean all forms of prevention must start from the person or family including their parents, because the government only provides a regulation where not everyone likes the so-called regulation, there are always some gamblers who always have a way to continue their gambling habits.

And if the context of the discussion is children who are still minors then I think it is clear that all responsibility lies with both parents, or what I mean is that parents must be able to prevent their children from getting caught up in gambling, and also you cannot direct that responsibility to a child, because I think we already know that a child who is still a minor is someone who is still unstable and still not mature in terms of thinking to distinguish between what is good and what is bad, but if the object of the discussion is an adult then that is another thing.

Those bonds are slowly disappearing, kids these days spend most of their time looking at a screen than spending time with their parents, a development that is eroding the authority of parents all around the world, as if kids read online that gambling is good for them and that their peers are enjoying it, and then they hear their parents claiming that it is bad for them, then most likely they will prefer to listen to their peers and unknown people online over their parents.

It is said that parents are the greatest teacher for a child. If any family members discuss gambling in front of their children then the children of that family will be encouraged to gamble. It will be difficult to control those kids at that time because they have learned it from their family teachers. And if this kind of situation happens in any country then any kind of misdemeanor will happen in that country. The most important thing is that kids always follow their parents. To get rid of that situation, every parent should definitely not share gambling related issues in front of their children.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Dont know if kids really can, but they can try to learn how to read other persons intentions through gambling if he give him examples. Kind of a body language study. We should not really focus on that and teach them gambling on purpose, but if they show some interest to it, why not through gambling explain them how a person that is nervous, who is telling lie look like, or how to manipulate with persons opinion.

Like I think I've mentioned before, ordinarily, even if one is playing gambling games like slot or casino games in front of their kid, the kid can not possibly know it's a gambling game the parent is playing except being told so.
On seeing someone playing Slot or any casino game, the kid can probably assume that the person is playing one of this mobile video games, and this very normal and OK if you ask me.

But then again on the other hand, this days, I think keeping kids away from gambling is not just about not letting them know when you are gambling by not gambling in their front, but keeping them away from gambling actually takes extra efforts, outside of this, why kid that will gamble will grow up to become a gambler, regardless of how far the parents tried to keep gambling away from such a kid.

Sure... It is truly heartbreaking seeing people, specially children engaging in gambling for survival. Those are people who are literally wagering with their meals and hoping to be able to continue to afford food from their gambling sessions, it is very hard to see...
Perhaps that is why I am completely against introducing children to things like gambling or alcohol, it there are chances those thing would only turn into hardships further in their lives and make them reluctant to continue studying.
Maybe, that is why some games online have become so addicting in these recent years, you know, because they include mechanics like loot boxes and alike, which (depending whom you ask) it could be an equivalent to gambling.

One of the main reason why kids and underage gamble is because of the rate of poverty in the society and how gambling have been misconcepted in this part of the world, now people sees gambler's as people that have money since once in a while it happens that they win they bets,and by so doing they celebrate it to the point that it makes it look as if they will keep winning daily, and they won't tell those admirers how much they have lost in betting in the past, so the society have now embraced gambling as means to get rich quick, so children now sees gambling as a way to excape poverty and along the line they end up becoming addicted to betting.
In this part of the world online cryptocurrency casino's are very popular and at that most of the underage who could not gain access on some of the fiat casinos have now turn to cryptocurrency casino's as ways to excape being restricted because of they age, so this ball down to the same thing, which is failure in parenting since if the parents have not failed in providing the child with the necessary training and provision of basic needs the child won't have a choice than to dive into anything that seems to be a way to meet their needs, and Gambling is one of the readily available.

Not to discriminate those poor people or to those who are on the poverty side on which educating their kids wont really be their main priority or something that they could really be able to focus on
because they would really be rather that be in concern on how they would be able to survive on day to day living. Some parents which are gamblers would really be doing their activity despite of being seen
with their kids or totally aware on what they are doing.This is why high chances that with those kids they will really be eventually be ending up on becoming a gambler since this is the thing that they are seeing on their parents. This is why its not really that shocking anymore that they will really be on such condition. SOmehow not all parents that are on poverty side would really be having that kind of guiding their kids
on which there would really be still those families which does really still do those viable things and avoid as much as possible on something that could potentially put them into trouble.

It develops from what they've seen to those adults that sorrounds them, introducing gambling in the early stage of a young minds will result them to lean on it, thinking that it's okay doing such and like what you mentioned they will risk it all just to hope for some luck

If you are a responsible gambler, then you will know that there is nothing bad in gambling, but we all know the risk of gambling when someone gets addicted to it. I will say the young once’s are the once’s that easily get addicted to gambling. As a parent, if your children get to know about gambling at an early stage, then you are already causing problems for them, because when they start gambling and they start making money, most of them will take gambling as a place where they can be making money and might end up getting addicted to gambling, and you won’t be able to blame them because they know you are also a gambler, so how will you tell them what they are doing is bad?

It's a disaster for a child's life when he believes gambling is a way to earn money. That child may never try anything else as an adult to make money other than gambling. But, it's not sure who quickly gets addicted between kids and adults. I'm not sure if it's a misconception from me, yet adults quickly get addicted as well. The risk of gambling in a child's presence is way too higher than among grown-ups. Gambling peers may not have fully informed some parents of the harsh impacts this careless habit creates on their young kids. They may be doing this ignorantly and communicate this to friends who don't care about advising them.

[Docnaster]

Gambling in front of kids is one of the easiest ways to teach them how to gamble but the dangerous thing about it is that they'll use every opportunity they get to try engage in gambling not because they understand what it means but because they've seen an adult doing it and then wants to follow suit. It's easier for kids to become gamble addicts because their mental strength are usually not strong enough to guide them on when and not when to gamble. It's absolutely a bad habit for adults to gamble in front of kids because it'll likely ruin their future.
I knew a man who was doing it for fun in front of his child and before he could understand that the child have been practicing what he sees his father do, he's become addicted to it by using every money in his possession to gamble including his school fees. Let's all do our best to sensitize people around us on the effects of gambling in front of kids

Honestly, children's habits are always developed from the people around them. Let’s just know that whatever parents are doing is what their children will grow up to do. I have seen example in my society. When a father is a drunkard and a smoker, all three of his children have become worse drunkards than their father. Now, the man has become old, and he has no responsible son to take care of him. He now regretting his past.

So, as gamblers, we need to be very careful. When we are gambling as a parents we should allow our children should notice our habit of gambling, if not one day, we might just notice that our son has become a gambler. For a young person to  become gambler is serious problem because it can lead to bad habits like lying, borrowing around or even stealing when they get addicted, which can be very hard to control later.

Every responsible gambler need to keep their gambling activities far away from their children because children are very quick to learn and understand less about something without knowing the consequences. Gambling activities is not meant to be revealed to the family and it is something we need to work on and make sure that we are making money from our gambling activities while keeping it from the entire family. It is good we gamble at the work place of outside of the family home because this would reduce the exposure to little children who could see it as fun and a way to make money for themselves too.

If someone has good responsibility in gambling then I think they will have the same thoughts as us, in the sense that they know that gambling in front of children is an action that should not be done, they will know that it is an action that can indirectly cause disaster to a child's future, or what I mean is they know and understand that such actions can attract a child to try the same thing. But of course I am sure that maybe irresponsible gamblers or those who have an impulsive approach to gambling will not think too much about this, and actually regarding the issue of time to gamble I think everyone will always have free time in their daily lives, at least once a week when they are on the weekend, so I think there is no reason whatsoever that can be used as a form of defense to continue gambling openly especially in front of a child, as you said that we can gamble outside the home, but I do not recommend gambling at work, the point is you have to be able to divide your time according to its portion.

[cryptoWODL]

playing in front of your children is wrong but in a country where documents are falsified to play and everyone closes their eyes or where they let minors play it is all possible it is true that teaching must come first from the family but also the place where born and raised counts I started seeing betting when I was very little and where my mind was forming in my country 15 year old kids already play slots because no one controls them and they can do what they want so it's the life and sometimes what they teach you at home isn't enough

It is said that parents are the greatest teacher for a child. If any family members discuss gambling in front of their children then the children of that family will be encouraged to gamble. It will be difficult to control those kids at that time because they have learned it from their family teachers. And if this kind of situation happens in any country then any kind of misdemeanor will happen in that country. The most important thing is that kids always follow their parents. To get rid of that situation, every parent should definitely not share gambling related issues in front of their children.

Yes, parents are the greatest teachers for their children. Moreover, children's intelligence is dormant during childhood. So if we play gambling in front of them or discuss about gambling then their latent intelligence will be directed towards gambling i.e. they may become interested in gambling.

Moreover the current time we call modern time where now a child is very smart. They understand it before we tell them anything. So if we as parents share gambling content in front of our children, they will learn and try to apply it. If children expose themselves to gambling from a young age, it is harmful to their developing brain and may even become addictive. So for children to develop properly and beautifully we have to take such steps and eliminate some activities that hinder the development of children.
