Gambling Education.

[Stedsm]

TBH, it's like pushing teenagers into gambling because with the education, comes the knowledge of excitement and pleasure that gamblers experience while gambling.

Now, before people come to me asking whether students that are taught about sex education, do they start having sex or do they rape and all the nonsense questions, I'd like to clarify that after students receive sex education, they at least practice safe sex with their partner and go for protection. However, I don't want to discuss about it much. But they don't really lose anything here (except their V), but if gambling education is provided and they started doing it, they'll lose real money and it'll be much more disastrous. I'm not saying that education is bad, but with authority comes responsibility and if the students get excited about it, then they'll "try" it for sure which may lead to losses. And yeah, if this gets approved anywhere, then it should not be provided in the books of students under the age of 18.

Instead of outrightly banning gambling, how about if the concerned countries officially include gambling education in their academic syllabus, just like sex education is taught in schools. Gambling education will teach the young ones the dangers of gambling and promote moderation in gambling. Will this not be a better way to handle the gambling cases?

There are so many things to consider before it happens. Just like how the students will take it, how it will affect their life and where/when they will use it. If adding it in syllabus, how they will expand the topic regarding gambling if the only thing you want to share with the younger generation is the knowledge and the risks of gambling. It will only become one of useless subject if this will happen.

Educating people about gambling is easier said than done. Not all countries can allow gambling businesses to operate because, by nature, gambling can be addictive. In countries where the economy is struggling, it's wise to ban gambling altogether, as people might easily become addicted. Most countries with a poor economy also have a high poverty rate, so introducing gambling would only exacerbate the problem.

While gambling can be fun and entertaining for some, it poses a significant risk to those who can't afford to gamble but still try, thinking they can make easy money from it.

The key of gambling education is money management, actually this topic has been taught in economic subject. So if people have been learn about economy, they should able to understand how to use their money carefully.

If the country already restrict their ISP to connect casinos, but people are use VPN to get rid of it, then those people should be blamed, not the country.

I don't think any government or country will be able to take this as a development because gambling is what can change the people's lives for addiction, losses of money, time and reputation, government will never encourage gambling, they can only support sporting activities and gaming but not gambling because it's what can set some people out of the plan to reaching their goals and targets in life, it also involves loss of money, government cannot support what does not bring in money to the people, if you remember in schools, PHE subject is being taught as for children during their leisure hours while in school, but this is totally different from gambling.

That is why OP stated that if education is possible, the same way sex education becomes a curriculum. It gives the chance to spread the important things to remember in gambling that might decrease the number of gambling addicts nowadays. People gamble because of their curiosity, if they know gambling, being curious about starting to gamble will help to avoid gambling.

Many countries prohibit gambling, to the extent that they do not licence any casino in their country. This however did not completely prevent the citizens of such countries from gambling. They go extra miles by using hidden or rerouted IP addresses to gamble. Even when the casinos block these users they keep attempting to cheat both their country's law and the casino.

Also, many countries have official gambling age but their citizens also violate this age standard.
All these abnormal ways of gambling promote gambling abuse and possible addiction which further makes gambling a societal menace.

This effort was made to prevent, and in other words, the government does not support gambling, this was done to apply a stigma to society that gambling is prohibited. Regarding the fact that there are still many people who violate the policies that have been made, this cannot be controlled easily nowadays, the government can only block access to sites that they can detect, even though they can still be accessed by other means such as VPN, that's true. cannot be controlled by the government. But for most of these things, at least obedient people will definitely obey the government regarding this prohibition. Just like people are prohibited from stealing, but it still cannot be controlled if there are people who want to do it.

This could be an additional alternative for countries that have very high levels of gambling, but usually in our country we still get it from moral messages directly from educators or the environment, and parents are also very influential in this matter.

That's not even a guarantee there are countries with nongovernment organizations that deal with educating people about gambling and the government keeps reminding its people of the danger of gambling and yet people continue to gamble and become addicted to gambling, people naturally do not have control and easily tempted to gamble especially if they see people making a lot of money from gambling, so their government take the initiative to prohibit gambling to save their citizen and lose the moral of their society.

I've seen 20 Best Gambling Addiction Books of All Time, Maybe there is some truth to it if books on addiction and the dangers of gambling are distributed in schools, higher faculties and so on, At least it can prevent young people from the dangers of gambling in the future, but can it produce maximum results or vice versa.

In my understanding, the most dangerous factors and the biggest influence on people involved in gambling are Android phones and the environment/socialization. We are aware of this in terms of education, In schools there are various majors given by the government to make students skilled, but still students' behavior is out of bounds, what they are taught at school does not stick in their brains, they always do it of their own accord, they regard the lessons at school as a passing wind.

I'm sure there are countries that educate students about the dangers of gambling in schools, but these efforts are in vain, apart from banning gambling sites which must be done, however, from the data seen in 2023, online gambling is already on the verge of breaking through, no except for minors inthe tripe.

On the contrary, gambling has to do with taking risks, and as such that's not the kind of thing we should be teaching our kids at an early stage due to the high risk involved, and the reason why in most casinos/countries, it's mandatory an individual has to be 18yrs of age before eligible to gamble (i.e both online & offline), so as to reduce the rate of misuse and addiction among people across the globe. So in regards to the topic in question, I'm in support about people teaching the effect of gambling & ways to avoid gambling addiction, more than a mere teaching about gambling itself

[Vaculin]

I don’t see it wrong bringing gambling education at schools since it could pave way for the kids awareness about gambling. However, my point is instead of educating them, it could even trigger their interest and curiosity to try out gambling and talk about their experience. That’s even a serious problem if ever.

I believe people gamble not because they are less knowledgeable about it, but maybe because they don’t have stable jobs that will pay them good compensation. So they try out their luck in gambling and believe that it could give them instant profits. They gamble not to make them entertained but because they are gambling to earn a living.

This is the point i agree with you that money management is they key of gambling .I wanna add one more thing we should need to learn how to control our mind and not to be greedy when we win enough .This is the most reason why gambler loose their money.On the other which country doesn’t support gambling they should need to avoid it cause if the site doesn’t support this country as well then gambler with stuck from both the side .However we all know gambling is a way of earning nevertheless it is a risky way to go for it .I have tried many times there is no prticular strategy for winning consistently so not to follow any tricks continiously we may loose our valuable fund .

Teaching gambling is like introducing them losses and remorse. I agree to an extent. Knowledge brings duty. Gambling education should help people understand the dangers and repercussions, not encourage reckless gambling. Similar to any education, it should inform and guide, not lead to harm.

Your parallel of sex education to responsible education is valid. Always prioritise harm reduction and informed decision-making. We agree. Gambling education should be done carefully, concentrating on risks and appropriate behaviour, and never to minors.

I think school psychologists should conduct lessons in early grades on the topic of addiction to the gaming industry, but definitely not teaching material on the topic. This should be a warning about the negative consequences that can cause excessive gambling.There is no point in teaching the basics of games as it will push more towards games in my opinion.

I have not heard of gambling abuse before, it is called gambling addiction.

Listen to yourself. You said gambling is banned in a country. How will the country have gambling education? If you take a look at the countries that ban gambling, their religion ban it. Example of religion that ban gambling are Islamic and Buddhism and some other religions. If such religions are common in a nation and they have political power, gambling is banned. Will they be the one that will introduce gambling education? No.

in some countries, their government is led by religious people, so their state regulations will definitely involve religious regulations, apart from that, even if a country bans gambling, education about gambling is something that must be done, the purpose is to minimize the misuse of loopholes in gambling.  so, education is like if you are armed with something to prepare yourself when it comes to you ^{(when other people invite you to gamble or get involved in the gambling business)}, Moreover, with the increasing development of technology, it is difficult for the government to truly block all types of online gambling sites.

Basic curriculum starts from the early stage and adulthood begins from somewhere around 18 , so whatever you don't learn below the age 18 , you can learn and unlearn reself depending on your choice at the age 18 and above. Therefore, if gambling education where to be offered or approved for adulthood students then it may just be like not useful when they are already aware of what is coming.

If such is possible then an early age will be taken as appropriate but I don't think it is gratified at that age to vividly understand what gambling is because teenagers barely manage themselves not to include another experience to their workload on growing experience.

This will be a great move by teaching the young one the disadvantages of early gaming addictions is so bad and afflicting to they academic well being as most of them will misused the time they suppose to spend in studying they books.

This issues can trigger up future gambling addiction when they have the chance to gamble with money,  if that is not check because early gambling is bad and result into worst condition and that is always a issue that have been treated in a multiple time and discovered that early gaming also contributes to adulthood gambling addictions.

The future is here, anything we do now affects us in either negative or positive way. Everyone should know about gambling, creating awareness of the dangers and risks involved in gambling. Gambling are only the those individuals that have multiple streams of legit and reliable incomes other than depending entirely on the system which is designated to liquidate our accounts, leaving us in a deform broken state. I've learnt my lessons, I'm pushing forward to triggered solid results in the system, because I'm here to recovered all my losses, besides I've encounter brilliant ideas portrayed by my colleagues, it do helps.

I would more in favor of giving the youth classes about money management and also educate them about the laws or probabilities or the laws of games.

Introduction to gambling as a class for young people sounds rather counterproductive if the objective is to prevent people to irresponsibly fall down into the addiction.

Though, religious schools are more likely to demonize gambling enterely instead using resources to educate on mathematics.

In addition to the school (psychologist and teachers), parents should conduct explanatory conversations with the child on the topic of gambling. There must be mandatory control over the child’s finances and, of course, family funds. Parents must teach their child responsibility. Because due to age, the child does not realize this. At school, it is necessary to introduce not classes based on game theory, but the basics of statistics, and in addition to them, explanatory conversations should be held.
Because the purpose cannot be to ban everything related to games (regarding the financial component), as this can lead to the fading of the child’s interests and talents (analytics and logic).
