Gambling Education.

[suzanne5223]

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.

Before any gambler who is from gambling restricted country decides to go the extra mile i will advise such a person to first consider the legal consequences, financial loss, and other risks involved in using a VPN and gambling if from a restricted area because 99.8% of all casino don't support the use of VPN.
It's better for such a person to comply with the rules and regulations of the country or visit the neighboring country that supports gambling which is something that once happened in China years ago.

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?

Let's be strict, some countries will never support gambling due to religious beliefs, societal rules and regulations, and other reasons. But the education aspect is good and we already have some casinos that integrated it into their website.
Nevertheless, it won't stop abuse and addiction to gambling.

The thing about gambling addiction is that it's not something that's not unbeknownst to many. Everyone who had an idea about gambling, knows just how detrimental gambling addiction is and I don't think there's no need for Gambling Education just as much as people need to be informed about Sex Education. What governments should do is to take gambling addiction with the same pressure and concern as would any other type of addiction out there. Nowadays when you're addicted to gambling you're most definitely going to be sidelined cause other forms of addiction are deemed more "severe" than actually burning your money on something that won't yield you anything in the larger scheme of things, and may even affect you and your family's future.

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.

While it's good to educate them at an early age I don't think that it should start with the school but with the parents. However, what if the parent is the one who gambles and is addicted to it? But as far as we all know, despite a parent being a gambler, we don't want our children to be dealt with gambling. That's why I believe that wherever is the kid and the environment that surrounds it, that's how they're being raised.

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?

It's possible that they will listen to their teachers but this is like introduction than prevention. A lot of things play in my mind but an actual scenario and test or case study will prove if it will.

If you are gambling to the extent that you have to sell real assets for it then you know you are addicted to it and that means you have a challenge with it and therefore you need help. You are not suppose to gamble to such extent and you can only get to that stage because you may be relying on it for daily survival but if you gamble reasonably, even when you lose you see it as a game, fun and entertainment. This is part of the gambling education we all need as adults but not to introduce gambling to teenagers.

The gambling addict mostly do this asset selling,because after get addicted to the gambling.The gambler will not know the limit to the game.So surely he may loss all the money deposited and get loan from the friends.If the plan work means,he pay the loan back and free from the financial movement.In case,the same was failed again.The gambler are forced to use their assets to balance the loan to the game,which he get from their friends.Then the loan to the friend was paid with the asset money,it allow the gambler to play further and get back all the loss money from the gambling with a tactics.

Gambling has long been banned in several countries. However, that doesn't mean there are no people who don't gamble. Since a long time ago, offline gambling, even though it was only cockfighting gambling, they did it secretly, there were even many games, lotteries and so on that were used as gambling events. And if the police find out, they will be arrested. However, this does not mean it stops bookies and players from continuing to gamble. So, even if you are given any kind of education, once you are addicted to gambling, this will be very difficult. Moreover, nowadays, there is a lot of online gambling that can be done very easily, slot gambling is currently one of the dilemmas and problems faced by most countries, especially the country where I live. This is really disturbing, because many gamblers do not consider and manage their finances and gambling activities, so they just place bets, so they keep losing and losing. And this has an impact on several criminal acts. Unfortunately, this is a fact. Although actually there are also gamblers who really understand how to apply it wisely and have risk management so that it will end better.

It's actually just one big whole wide web of confusion because if you are an addict you can never never know when to stop 🛑 except you have lost everything and that's why gambling is always seen as a an evil act because of the rate at which people lose their sanity to this habit that is supposed to be fun and kinda stress relief but it's exactly the opposite for most hard core gamblers out there.

What do you mean by gambling abuse?
I don't know about gambling abuse in many countries in the world. The most serious case in each country is about gambling addiction. Of course it's a threat, but it's actually not a new case. It already happened since many years ago.

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?

It won't be a good idea to make gambling education as a part of academic syllabus. It is just another kind of telling gambling to the school children/kids. When it is implemented, I suspect there will be more active gamblers among school children. When they know it, they must try to gamble because they want to prove themselves whether it is good or bad. Children always have high curiosity, that's why I am doubtful whether gambling education will decrease the potential gamblers or it even will trigger more potential gamblers among children.

[Slow death]

I believe that no country will include gambling in their educational teaching program, because gambling depends on luck, what will a teacher explain to his students about gambling? There is nothing for the teacher to explain to the students. What the government does is simply carry out campaigns advising people that they should not use money that they know they cannot afford to lose and put into gambling and casinos also issue these types of warnings, now in schools in my country there is education about investments and entrepreneurship, in this subject students learn about how to make investments correctly and obviously, even in this subject they don't talk about gambling

the fact that gambling is something that should only be seen as fun, there is no way any government can include this in its teaching program in schools. about gambling licenses, when we look at an online casino and see that there are many more than 100 countries in the world, then we realize that it is not possible for an online casino to have a license from each country, hence there should be an organization that would give a license to online casinos and that this license would be accepted in all countries in the world. Only then would we see respectable licenses and people could complain directly to the license provider when the casino was a scam

Until that day arrives, each person must be responsible and not spend money that would be used to pay bills, it is important to have good bankroll management and be aware of the risk involved in gambling. anything in this world can make a person addicted, it's not just gambling that makes someone addicted, I've seen many people addicted to sex who sold everything they had to pay women

Many casino sites without a license are scattered everywhere while even though the state has prevented it but this is difficult to eradicate because they can create a new casino site again after the old site is blocked by the government, this is quite difficult because I know gambling casinos have strange domain names that are difficult to recognize.

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.

Regarding addiction, age abuse has been done a lot even from those who are addicted from an early age, it is difficult to encourage them to return to normal paths but for this prevention must be done with the closest person.

Gambling in education? I don't think it's a good solution, they will be more addicted even though the lessons teach the dangers of gambling.

There will be a negative impact if gambling education is implemented to be taught in schools, students will certainly feel curious to get involved in it, because many people think that gambling is for entertainment and pleasure.  Apart from that, there will be more teenagers at an early age who will get involved in gambling, because their curiosity is still higher and they cannot control themselves and this will of course be a bad effect if gambling education is implemented.

Publicity good or bad carries  negative outcome and this would happen to many students like you said. The best way to solve this problem is finding a method to teach students who are gamblers already the need of gambling responsibly. But as you know, that will be a very difficult task. Gathering non gamblers and gamblers in a class room to teach them about gambling addiction is wrong. Teaching them for fun can also lead to other negative effects, so I’d add that, teachers need to make strict provisions for only gamblers to participate in such lessons. As what matters is reaching to the right audience to reduce the harm of infecting others With gambling addiction.

The thing about education is helping young people to be aware of what gambling is and why it should be done with care and with a planned budget. If you are afraid that teaching the youth about gambling could lead them to gambling more, then you should be aware that there are thousands or even hundred of thousands of teens and children who gamble and do not even know.

Take a look at how the gaming industry has devolved this latest years, microtransactions and loot boxes in game-as-a-service products. A parent could easily buy a game to their toddler and introducing him/her to some practices which will likely make him/her prone to suffer gambling addiction in the future.  We should not be afraid of education.

But it can make them want to try what it's like to gamble, especially if they already have money from their parents. They will probably use their phones to find out about online casinos because they cannot go to offline casinos. After all, they are still underage. It can give parents problems if their children gamble at online casinos because they can hide their gambling activities, especially if they use their phones.

But as long as parents can direct their children well, especially if they can provide as complete an explanation as possible about gambling, including its impacts, perhaps their children will not try to gamble. Their children may not approach gambling because of the negative impacts they will receive later. But that won't happen for curious children because they will still find out what gambling is.

This is interesting, but what is the urgency of gambling education for society or in schools? All students are initially taught ethics and norms apart from reading and so on, this education is enough for their basics. BTW, I'm talking about education in my country. Regarding gambling, it is the same as other types of fun. Even though it is prohibited by the country, some people, groups, communities will try to get around it, including against the law, even as you said.

Believe me, we live in a world that is regulated by the laws and regulations that apply in each of our countries. However, the fact is that not everyone will comply. especially, those related to something pleasant. something that is enjoyable for someone, it is difficult to stop immediately. for example, children are now very familiar with the types of games on their gadgets. Almost all urban children must have played a game of any kind.

Well, now we're talking about gambling. Gambling is a type of instant entertainment that contains risks. gambling, offering simple, easy and fun games. now, gambling has become legal in several countries even though there are certain regulations that differentiate it. and IMO, gambling education is more effective through a family and persuasive approach.

Yes that is a good idea in my opinion. I also agree with that, because it will support the moral education provided by each family and support programs carried out by the government or the private sector to reduce various forms of detrimental juvenile delinquency.
I think every schools also need to focus on providing preventive education about various activities that have a negative impact on the lives and future of their students and so that they are better able to control themselves and their behavior in the future.

In my opinion, education about gambling is very important to include in the design of academic materials or perhaps non-academic materials in each school. Education like this is very important because it helps teenagers so that they can recognize and limit themselves from an early age so that they do not experience deviations or negative effects caused by gambling activities.
We know that gambling does have negative effects, but in my opinion there are still many things that teenagers who are not yet old enough have to recognize and be aware of so that they don't get involved in any activities or commit detrimental deviations that have a negative impact on them.
In my opinion it is not only education about gambling that should be given to students in schools. Schools should make various summaries of learning materials and introductions to various cases of social deviance that are often committed by teenagers so that they can better control themselves. Some of the deviations that I mean are free sex, drugs, bullying, illegal racing, brawls and others.

Gambling is everywhere and we can't ask the younger generation just to avoid it because it's everywhere nowadays. It is better if gambling reminders will be implemented in schools and the government were strict in implementing gambling restrictions. That's the importance of KYC these days so minors can't gamble though we all know that there are also tricky youth who know how to fake KYCs.
It is important that as early as possible, the younger generation would know how to get rid of gambling especially if they couldn't deal with its risk. We should remind them that it isn't for everyone and that a person can only gamble if he or she is financially and emotionally capable of doing it.

I agree with this line of thought. It should be normalize and kids from age fourteen should go through a class on gambling. It is vitally important exposing them to not only the dangers of gambling addiction but helping them to know how they can be part of the solution would be highly commendable.

but since we as humans would rather focus on the cure rather than prevention, it would be difficult to have gambling taught in class rooms as a course.

I have been going through the topic that I created a few days ago and I have seen that it has gotten up to five pages and more and everyone that is speaking on the topic are in support of the topic. I may not say everyone but majority of the people that have contributed. We have understood it this way because we are in one way or the other into the gambling and we understand how it can be solved but the government outside as you said believe in cure and not prevention.

If gambling education is well implemented, the rate of gambling and gambling addiction would be very much reduced. During this education of gambling you will also tell them the dangers of gambling and the law implication of being found gambling or abusing it. This will do a better job than the system that exist today.

Who should educate gamblers? If it's the government, I think it's too much of a job for them. It's understood that once a gambler plays, he or she should already be mature, meaning that he or she understands the risks involved. A little warning or education provided by the government is already sufficient. If they want more in-depth education, then they should seek it out on their own. The major reason for gambling addiction is not necessarily lack of education; it's because some individuals become desperate to make money through gambling and end up betting more than they can afford to lose. Some may even resort to borrowing money just to gamble.

Gambling and Sex are different things, so it is normal there is Sex Education but there is no Gambling Education. Gambling is a non-academic activity that impossible to be included in a lesson or curriculum. Gambling education can be obtained outside of school, and this information can actually be accessed by all students. The ones who should provide gambling education are not schools, but the students' parents themselves. IMO.

Meanwhile, sex education is needed because it is related to school lessons. This lesson is a version of biology. so it's normal to be at school. Meanwhile, gambling has absolutely nothing to do with education. Even in some countries gambling is prohibited, so i don't think we can see gambling in school lessons.

Even though some countries have legalized gambling but when discussing gambling education it seems that this will be very difficult because it is true why sex education is taught but gambling education is not but actually the reason is quite simple when gambling education is held then indirectly this is not to minimize addicts but increase addicts because they (gamblers) will openly conduct gambling which will make the majority of citizens in a country become bigger gamblers.
On the other hand, until now, almost all countries do not allow gambling except in some places that have become special places for gambling in order to minimize people gambling but with the existence of several online sites that are rampant today, especially if there is gambling education, this will indirectly smooth out people's plans to gamble legally.
