Are you asking this question for under aged people? Because I don't think it's bad for an adult to gamble unless it turns into an addiction. I think the public with gambling addiction needs monitoring if it is for them.
However, to answer your question, I will not say that no one in my family knows that I have a gambling habit. Because I don't do it too much, just mostly I do sports betting when I have an idea about the games of those teams and sometimes I gamble if the teams I like. I'm actually not that much of a regular gambler. Apart from that my family be it my parents or my wife none of them will take this well as far as I can tell. Because in our region gambling is considered a crime.

Honestly this is a question that is most applicable to children who were still independent under their parents, an adult can do anything he likes and choose to gamble or not with or without his parents permission as long as he's being responsible enough for the family, why this is in most cases not encouraged is because of those who have taken gambling to the next phase by being addicted and irresponsible for the family and theirselves, but a full grown up adult don't have to fear of letting his parents know he gambles if he's responsible.

[goxcraft]

Yes, they know it. But they are very friendly about that because they knows that, I'm not an addicted gambler. Honestly speaking I don't gamble that much anymore. I just gamble when I'm bored or when I need some fun. It's not my main work. And why does it matter if they knows or not? I'm fully grown an adult now. I have my own freedom. Your question mostly applies for under aged children.

When i was a 14 years old, that is when my classmate introduced me to this gambling because he came out from a wealthy family, and his father is not against it in their family because sometimes their father always ask them some games to choose for him, and the ones his children will pick from the games, will be the ones his father will win, and he will surely give the children some money to enjoy themselves in school, and that is how I follow my classmate to start gamble, and my mother cut me on a faithful day when she was using my phone to do something because her phone was developing some fault at the moment, that made her to see some of the games I was waiting for their results to come out to do cash out, but she made me go through hell , that made me to vow that I will grow mature before I will start gambling.

I’ve discussed gambling with my parents a few times but can’t say that my Mother ever approved. She would always tell me that nobody ever wins in gambling and would seemingly be annoyed when I enjoyed watching games with money on the line. She always worked hard for her money though, so throwing it away so recklessly was hard to understand.

In various countries specially with the developed countries,the adult people will not live with their parents.So the gambler who separate from their parents can’t be controlled by their parents.Because the parents of the gambler doesn’t aware about the gambling by their childrens.If the gambler age was below 18 or still studying their academic,the parent response will be to quit the game after they aware about the gambler involvement to the gambling.If the gambler had started to earn the money on their own,the parents just say don’t get addicted to the gambling and play the safe game.Both the response is based on the earning capacity of the gambler.

To be eligible to gamble, in my country, it is expected for such an individual to be 18 years old and above, which at 18 years, it is presumable that such an individual is not a kid anymore, and as such liable to whatever action he/she takes. So for me, one thing I have noticed that gets parents worried when been told his/her child is gambling is as follows:
1. The fear of getting addicted: Because the fear of not having their kids get addicted to gambling is one reason why they will always want to be against it at all odds.

2. The fear of losing more funds than they could afford: Because the fear that a child will lose his money or the parent's money to gambling while they are away from home is another reason why they could dislike gambling.

3. The society view: what people will say about a kid seen gambling is another reason that will want to make a parent complain about his kid not to gamble, most especially if he/she is not yet of age.

4. Religious believe: Religious believe is another reason that will make a father or mother not want their kids gamble, most especially when it is regarded as a sin in their respective religion (i.e Muslims)

My parents as aware that I gamble and they do not have problem with that. I'm like the good son of the family so they believe any choice I make is likely not a bad one since I have not been giving them troubles. I am very close to my dad and there is no way I can could keep that away from him. Gambling is not that bad of a thing that we have to make it a top secret.... it is just about making money nothing else. It only becomes bad when it is done in such a way that it affects our finances and behavior so badly.

I don't know for sure about that. Because I personally never asked my parents directly whether they knew I liked gambling or not. Besides, I don't think it's very important to ask my parents about it. Because now I am free from the responsibilities of my parents, besides that I also have a family. So basically my parents don't need to know about my gambling habits. Because now the most important thing is that I always send them a certain amount of money regularly every month and I like to visit them regularly. So about the fact that I like to gamble, if my parents knew it would definitely be calm and normal. Because my parents never questioned or questioned the paths their children took. In essence, my parents were not overly restrictive parents. Therefore, I don't need to tell my parents my whole life in depth, including my gambling habits.

not all of these things can be told to your parents even if you live in the same house with them. even though i still live with my parents, i never tell them about my gambling activities because why would they know that? i am an adult and have earned my own money, even though i live with my parents, there are things that are my privacy and i consider that my gambling activities are my own privacy and no one knows about it, even my own parents.

the most important thing is that they know that what i'm doing is still at a reasonable level and in my opinion it's fine for an adult to gamble as long as it's not too excessive.

No my family doesn't know about it. I come from a middle class family. You all know what a middle class family is like. Especially in countries like Bangladesh. They feel that usually no work can be done before the completion of the study which damages the study. But they don't know that there is no guarantee that they will get a good future by studying. This is why I hide this work from my family members. Besides this is an illegal work or profession in our country.  For this reason I did not inform my family about this as they might think that it might cause me problems in future. That's the main reason why I hide this work from my family.  Considering all these aspects, I did not say anything about this matter to anyone.  That's why this matter is hidden from my family. I think I will hide this matter from my family in future also because I am currently studying in class 12. I am not interested in telling anyone until I am stable in a place. If I tell this matter to my family then I have to face many problems.

Even though im playing some gambling games online but it isnt really necessary for me tell about such activity yet im not really that compromising too much money out of it and it is something
not really be that in concern. As long you do have that control then it should be just fine. If you are living far away from your parents then its just that normal that everything you do would really be that totally cant be known by your parents. It would really be just that depending if you are a type of person whose really that open towards your parents then it wont really be that needing for such
forcing out on doing such thing.

Even with those simplest habit that you do have but it comes to the point that it is already that too addictive then it would really be that just ideal that telling everything towards
your parents as some sort of monitoring on things that you do wont really be that a bad idea. IT is really just that there are individuals who doesnt really like
getting that being involved with their parents on whatever they do.

I am a private person and although I am not an active gambler, I will not let my family know that I like to gamble. Because my family is against gambling and they consider gambling to be haram, and when I gamble as much as possible I do it very carefully and hide.
Because of my gambling activities, I often play online gambling using my cellphone, so it's still safe because they won't check my cellphone and I also often do it outside the house when I'm out enjoying a cup of coffee.
And now I'm married, and I also hide it from my wife and only bet on weekends and only bet on sports betting on football and just for fun after five busy days of work. Because I love the sport of football and betting is just for fun and most importantly I can watch it and enjoy the match.

It's quite confusing but maybe that's the character of your parents, I mean they don't really care about it, and to be honest I'm quite curious about the reasons why your parents don't care about your gambling at all. As we know that in general gambling is very bad in the eyes of society because of course with all the risks that are there. And well maybe so trusting your parents that they like to trust you about whatever activities you do, one of which is gambling. If that's your choice then go ahead, but I hope you gamble with the intention of just having fun because there are many cases that end up getting worse because those who take gambling too seriously by applying all expectations.

The point is you have to be a responsible gambler with all the risks that are there, and also of course by applying all the limits, not to overdo it because it could be without realizing you will be trapped in an addiction that you never wanted maybe. Honestly, I don't understand what you're saying when you say that you can earn. How can you say that for something that only relies on luck. So gambling is only really about luck and anyone should apply that mindset so as not to overdo it.

They knew that I gamble. They didn't like it at first because I was too young when I started but that's how they knew me and they never lacked of reminder to me. It's that because of how curious I was, I got hooked.

What was their first reaction towards your gambling habit ?

They became mad at me because I still didn't have a job at that time and I was still in school but then eventually, they were able to accept that and told me that I needed to prioritize what I had to prioritize before I gamble. Because if I don't, they know what they'll do to me and will stop every support that they can. I know that they're just words of discouragement to help me out but I took it seriously and that's how I responded to them and showed them that I am a responsible guy. Even if I gamble, I'll never break any promise that I've made to them that I am aware of what's happening to me and I won't compromise the future that they want me to have.

No, they don't. They're both dead.

My father used to be very strict and scared of gambling. He was also a very religious man, thinking that it's a sin to gamble your money away, just as it is to drink it away.
I would never tell him what I do. It would only end with an argument.

My mother was much better at understanding these things and she wouldn't mind as long as I don't lose too much and go into debt. I wouldn't tell her anyway just to give her less things to worry about.

[madnessteat]

My parents found out I was gambling when I was in high school. They did not react in any way, as card gambling was widespread in my country at that time, both among young people and older people.

When they found out that I liked to spend time in a land-based casino they took it more seriously. I remember that conversation with my father. I didn't stop gambling from that time, I just started hiding it from them.

[Issa56]

The way your parents will respond when they find out you gamble will depend on where you are from. In some societies that see gambling as a bad activity, parents from that region will be disappointed when they discover that their child is a gambler, but in regions where gambling is not tagged as a bad activity,  your parents won't feel bad if they know that you are not an addicted gambler. I don't see anything bad in gambling, so your parents knowing about your gambling activities is normal, and I don't think it's bad, but they might warn you to stay away from addiction.

I stopped staying with my parents years ago, and whenever I visit them, I don't really stay long with them, so they know nothing about my gambling activities, and I haven't discussed it with them before because I don't think it is necessary. If I can tell my parents about my gambling activities, I'm sure they won't feel bad because I will explain everything about gambling to them and let them know that am not addicted to gambling, and that's what I do once in a while.

If your family never supports gambling and completely forbids you from gambling, then don't do it in their presence. Of course you've taken the right steps to hide it from your parents and wife, but that's not enough if you don't delete your browser browsing history. But since you don't gamble for money, I don't think your problem will ever be big even if they find out. You gamble for fun even though sometimes you lose money because of it, but as long as you set a gambling budget limit, it's safe for your.

In Indonesia, not only do you have to hide your gambling activities from your family, but you cannot gamble in public. You could be caught by the police because gambling is illegal, even if you are caught you will be publicly humiliated. Things like this happen in certain areas that enforce Islamic law, not only the constitution.

Your parents don't need to know about each and every habit and activity of yours, especially when you are an adult. You might be obliged to keep them updated about what you do as long as you are living with them, not earning money and taking money from your parents for your personal expenditures and stuff, but as soon as you get out of that circle, you either start living out alone or start your family, you start working and earning money, that's when you don't need to tell everything you do to your parents apart from the things that you feel are important for them to know.

I understand that there needs to be a certain amount of respect that you need to have towards your parents because they have obviously done a lot of things for you and the sacrifices that they gave for you can never be paid back even if you spend your entire life, however, that doesn't mean that you share every activity and habit with them, that's a totally different and personal thing, in my opinion.
