Never gamble in front of your kids.

[TopTort777]

I agree with you, I think and don't find any benefit for children if they see gambling being done, I don't think there will be any benefit, if they think it's a talisman I don't think it makes sense because winning at gambling is more about individual luck. So, if you really have luck, you will win under any circumstances, and no matter what you do, you cannot guarantee that luck will be on your side.
Even though online casinos do not have an age limit, of course parents will not allow their children to gamble even if they are born  into a very rich family because gambling is not something that should be learned either for example, there are other people who gamble and there are other people's children, I don't think the people who gamble will show the gambling they do, therefore if there are parents who gamble and allow their children to see it it is probably the parents who have taught them wrongly even though they have good intentions behind it I don't think it makes sense.

My grandma played cards with me when I was a kid. My father explained me rules blackjack and poker rules when I was a kid. When I was a teenager, I remember we had a VHS cassette with comedy movie Maverick (movie about poker tournament). I remember I we had challenges when we were kids and used chewing gums as currency for bets. Somehow I managed not to grow up as gambling addicted. Miracles, isnt it? And from your post, it is considered that my parents were bad at parenting. In fact, my kid saw me gambling, knows rules and what it is. That also makes me a bad parent, right?

However, none of those who surround me, ever used gambling to earn, never boasted with amount won or that gamble. It wasnt accepted in our family. We usually celebrated achievements in studying and promotions or success at work. Gambling was never a source of income in our family. This is probably why we all have such entertaining attitude to it.

surely there is a good purpose behind it, it is impossible for parents to show their gambling just like that, especially if they want their children to become gambling experts, I don't think that's possible. what you experienced is the same. besides that when growth has occurred of course we will have thoughts which we can choose which are good and bad things to do, for example with parents who show their gambling and when we are adults we will think and then choose to do the same thing as our parents or even leave them., life is a choice even though at the beginning it was taught by parents but in the future we ourselves determine it.
that's good, indeed it should not be gambling as a means of making money because there is a fatal negative side that can happen when having such thoughts. I salute you if all your family knows that gambling is a means of entertainment and gambling is nothing more than that. this must be maintained and I think it can be an example that gambling is not entirely bad when done properly.

I am just saying that I am a living example of a kid who saw adults gamble and havent turned into gambling junkie Exposed a myth users talk here for 70+ pages. Of course not everyone is as cool as me, but still chances of becoming addicted after watching isnt 100%.

Nevertheless the life of a kid goes fast, and as a parent, you are surprised how quick their childhood ends, yet nobody dont even try to make a little test. Gamble in front of them for 15minutes and see if kids show any interest in it. Parents have still many days in advance to correct kids vision on gambling and redirect attention on other things.

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.

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, pushing their ways to win and make something decent to feed themselves, it's just a repeated thing that will develop inside them, same with you, I also don't see or don't like to see any kids being influenced just by seeing me or someone who gambles and gain their interest about it.

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.

Because children are used to the fact that their parents spoiled them very much and gave them everything they asked for. But sometimes you need to be able to say the word "no" to a child, although it is not easy, because we all love our children. But if you do not refuse them, then they will grow up to be those who are used to receiving things just like that without effort. Therefore, later, when they grow up, they are not particularly ready to go to work where they are loaded with responsibilities.

As for the topic, I would definitely not play gambling games for money in front of children, and if without money and for fun, I would teach them so that they understand the rules, learn to count and understand that there are players who want to beat them. Thanks to these games, you can understand why your opponent wins and what he does for this. So not everything is so clear with the answer to this question.

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.

Partially agreed. in my opinion, Need to protect child from gambling from the beginning. As children are innocent, they always follow people beyond them and try to repeat those things what they sees. So if you are gambling in front of them, then it also possible they do same thing later, they may  grow up by following the wrong footprints which won't have excepted. So better not to gamble in front of your kids. But mate, i also found your point valid. I mean if they anyhow know about gambling and show interest with it then it is also parents responsibility to guide them and show them right path. Otherwise they may face problem like funds loss, bankruptcy, or unsettled loan in their future life. Before that, it is wise to teach them how to avoid or to teach how become a responsible gambler by money management and following discipline.

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.

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.

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.
