I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it!

[Eternad]

Gambling is a habit, kids can also imitate or be influenced by their friends, just imagine when your friends smoke, for instance, you guys work hand in hand, don't you think that it will take discipline and God to stop you from indulging in the acf, parents also play a major role in this, if a father gambles and the kids continue to hear him say it open or see him with the paper print out of the bet, a day will come when they will want to know the exact stuff their dads is always holding or looking out for, this as a parents we should be mindful of what we do in the presence of our kids, as younger as they are, their brain is sharp, it can accommodate good and bad and store it for a long time, check your children from time to time to know what they do when you are not around when you find them wanting advice them and make understand with a reasonable instance to prove your point.

I don’t agree that children will automatically inherit what their parents they are doing. I grow with my father gamble and cigarettes a lot but I never try neither of it when I’m a child especially the cigarette. The only time I gambling is when I discover cryptocurrency since it’s very convenient to gamble here. This is my personal and not because I saw it to others.

We have our own choice whether we follow somebody or not despite we are with them closely. It’s their choice on gambling early just because they saw it since not all kids is interested on gambling but rather on just playing. Some kids want to be just kid.

What we have to realize is that gambling has been around since our ancestors existed and will never disappear forever, and if we look at many children who are involved in gambling because they see what we saw when we were small until now and gamble.
It's just that as technology advances, gambling is getting easier to find and even so transparent that I think more children are involved in gambling than before technology developed.
And in this case we can't do anything and have to accept it because technological developments can change anything significantly. And those who play the most role in preventing our children from getting involved in gambling are parents who must always pay attention to their children when using gadgets and playing with anyone, and not carry out gambling activities in front of their children.

[noormcs5]

Yes, that's a well known fact. It's funny at the same time because as you said it's good that you experienced it when you were young.
At least you didn't lose a lot of money that way 

Yes, even though my gambling addiction occurred during my student years and I spent my pocket money gambling during my student years. I definitely think I was lucky because of this situation. Frankly, I think that if I were addicted to gambling and spent my salary gambling especially in these periods when I have a fixed salary, I would definitely feel very bad and have a very difficult time economically. Even though we feel bad in such situations because we are in a bad phase of our lives but it is definitely a great thing that such addictions were smaller and didn't occur in times when our financial status were not good.

Well, this is how the addition gets into one's blood right from the teenage. The gambling system is so weak that even students who are less than the age specified for gambling can gamble with their pocket money. Strange that all this KYC system fails to recognize that minors are gambling but they only care about the money, don't they?

By the way, no kids can gamble until they are given the opportunity to gamble and in most cases, the parents should be held responsible if their kids are found gambling.

Once the kids get to the age of 18 and are independent, then we can say that they are gambling because they are responsible for their own action but before that, it is the duty of the parents to look after their activities and stop them if they found then indulging in activities not suitable for their age.

Yes it is true, gambling has existed since ancient times but maybe not as popular as it is now and maybe only certain people who used to know gambling, this activity will continue to exist and will never disappear until whenever, and as technology develops more sophisticated then yes as you say gambling is increasingly widespread everywhere, this activity is so transparent and even like a natural thing to do even though if we look at the negative side it will have a very bad impact on life and the same future. On the other hand, what is worried is that those who are still children are then involved in gambling, none other than that because the promotion of gambling has become easier and more widely found because of the support of the growing technology.

Of course and maybe we as a society can only take some precautions, especially in supervising children in various ways so that they do not have the opportunity to get involved in this gambling, because it is impossible if we reject something that moves according to the times. I hope that parents can be more assertive in taking some actions to prevent their children from entering gambling, because obviously this activity will have a very bad impact on the future of their children. One of the things that can be done is of course to limit the use of the phone so as not to see gambling promotions.

You are lucky because you fought being addicted to gambling when you were still a student, others find it difficult to stop their gambling and even reach the point of not being able to finish their studies. Gambling becomes a bad influence on them so they can do bad things just because they can gamble. I know many people who are like this to be honest, some are in prison because they learn to do bad things to others, others are gambling illegally. I used to play with them in gambling when I was also a student. But because of gambling, their lives were ruined.

Yes, I think I was a little lucky because this gambling addiction I mentioned occurred during my high school years and it didn't cause me to miss my studies for this reason. Although it is a little difficult to comment without experiencing something like addiction, I don't think that I would allow this addiction to disrupt my education or cause me to fail my education if it recurred during my university years but as I mentioned since it is an addiction, unfortunately, it is difficult to predict clearly without experiencing this situation.

If we talk about people who are sentenced to prison due to illegal betting, I definitely think that this is a situation that occurs by people's own choice. Illegal betting takes place entirely with the user's own will and would definitely not be something I would choose. This is a decision that will affect a person's life and can lead to the destruction of the lives of the people. It is absolutely very sad that a person's life changes negatively or becomes miserable for such a reason.

It takes a great deal of self-control to gamble. You're going to run into serious issues if you don't have that control. Every gambler, in all likelihood, harbors the desire to prevail and win. But those who are astute and wise realize that winning isn't simple or a walk in the park

The golden rule is to gamble responsibly. That is the maxim. Self-control is crucial; it's especially important for individuals who bet frequently. It is possible to make money from gambling, but it is by no means simple. The real thing in gambling is in skill-based games. They let you hone your abilities and get better, but you still have to depend on luck. It's about recognizing your boundaries, being wise, and exercising responsibility. It all comes down to playing the game smart and correctly

Every gambler has the desire to win and it cannot be denied that they must reduce this desire so that it doesn't get bigger. Every gambler must have good self-control so he doesn't always follow his desires. He must realize that gambling cannot always result in victory, but he can experience losses that will become bigger if he loses self-control. That's where he has to learn about responsibility, taking good care of himself while gambling and not using too much money. We have daily needs that we must fulfill and if we use all the money for gambling, we will not be able to fulfill them.

Playing gambling responsibly with full self-control is a must for every gambler so that they can prevent themselves from gambling problems and gambling addiction. Gambling addiction has become the biggest problem that every gambler must be able to overcome so that they do not spend all their money and do not return to gambling more often. By always implementing things like that, it can keep gamblers away from these problems and they can enjoy gambling as entertainment.

The Australian Government once said about abolishing gambling ads as a means of reducing gambling activities amongst underage people. But, I think they'll be no successful way of stopping young people from gambling. As it's in them. Most articles here also say things like gambling addiction being hereditary. That means gambling can be hereditary as well. Because I just watched from a distant two kids below 10 years, staking bets, after a long argument about who the artiste of a specific song is. They later staked close to 40 cents each, for the person who gets the answer right. Then they went ahead to verify. And I lost sight of them. I thought about, how come or who thought these kids about betting money during a long argument. I was able to memorize, back when I was a kid. We easily said, how much would you bet if it turns out I'm saying the truth; during an argument. It made me understand that, despite during those days we had no phones or access to the internet, gambling is somehow embedded to the brain of humans. Then, as a child, we weren't exposed to gambling. I could only remember of lotto, as a kid. But we still said things like "let's bet it"

I often see articles about gambling regulations in Australia and I don't understand why are they so strict, do they really have gambling problems? Australia is a very developed country and I can't imagine if people there are addicted to gambling. Btw I can confirm that kids gamble because it's cool to gamble among them. When I was a teen, I used to gamble too, I was mostly betting on soccer and I did that because it was an easy money and it was cool to say in school that I bet on sports. You have to change your mentality and understand that it's not as simple as you imagine, you have to do actual work to earn or just have fun and only play with money that you are willing to lose in case you won't be able to win.

Then, as a child, we weren't exposed to gambling. I could only remember of lotto, as a kid. But we still said things like "let's bet it"

In different realms and categories, including the meaning of gambling. It cannot be denied that we often do this as a childhood activity, but in order to test our abilities. As adults we know about gambling and the types played and patterns. Then remember when we were kids doing the same thing with a different title. I admit once again that the world of gambling when I was a kid was more about competition with each other, nothing more than that and it didn't have much of an impact on addiction. Well, currently there are quite a variety of types of gambling, some are against machines and against fellow bettors, the effect is greater considering that we already know what we are after. Meanwhile, when we were children, all we did was have fun with friends.

[Crypt0Gore]

Almost everyone has kids living with them at home and we can easily compare to other homes around us, there are families that don't believe in the act of gambling, they don't see it as a sin, because many people believe that those who don't like gambling are religious people, I am telling you know that there are some families that don't even move closer to gambling, it's like they all knew what's waiting for them if they start to gamble, to them it's the fools game.

Influence is what makes many to start gambling, some people start gambling because of the friends they join, I have a brother who was an addict and it was revealed to us that all his classmates in school are all into gambling, someone who comes from a home where gambling isn't believed to solve anything but created even more problems.

I think it's the same thing with children around the world, TVs could have been a big part but there is no casino and gambling advertisement on the TVs, it's either their surroundings are full of gamblers or the friends they keep have elders that are into gambling, it's all about the influence.

[BitcoinTurk]

The gambling system is so weak that even students who are less than the age specified for gambling can gamble with their pocket money. Strange that all this KYC system fails to recognize that minors are gambling but they only care about the money, don't they?

By the way, no kids can gamble until they are given the opportunity to gamble and in most cases, the parents should be held responsible if their kids are found gambling.

Once the kids get to the age of 18 and are independent, then we can say that they are gambling because they are responsible for their own action but before that, it is the duty of the parents to look after their activities and stop them if they found then indulging in activities not suitable for their age.

Certainly, if the gambling business doesn't apply the minimum age limit rule set by the states, it helps people who have a tendency to gamble at a young age to gamble more easily. Pocket money, which is the only source of money especially at the ages we mentioned is used in this process and many students consume their pocket money in this way. For this reason, the KYC procedure is a mandatory system that a casino business must implement for every customer but we can see that many casino businesses don't implement it because their main focus is to make money.

Parents, of course have to follow their children's daily lives and warn them about the mistakes they make but it shouldn't be forgotten that, unfortunately, no parents can fully control their children's daily lives. During the period I mentioned I was gambling secretly from my family and I was doing this during school hours. In other words, it was not possible for my parents to actually follow me and prevent this situation because I was secretly gambling during those hours when they knew I was at school. Therefore, to comment on my own behalf I don't think my parents are guilty of anything.

Finally, if someone who is 18 years old doesn't yet know all their life responsibilities and is addicted to gambling I don't think it is right not to help them since they have their own will and choices. People gain experience and responsibility through their experiences and the advice they receive. Age is definitely not something that can cause one to notice these things immediately. When a person turns 18, it only means that the responsibilities that person has taken belong to them not that they have become aware of everything.

The kids are living with the gambler parents home,So no one need to teach them about the gambling.The are sleeping with you,So they can easy learn of gambling not even teaching one step to them.So the gambler parent itself enough for the strong influence for the kids for the gambling.If the gambling was against the gambling,It was more dangerous one compared to the kid which kid very close to the gambling.Since the gambling was stay as the legal to them.They get more curiosity to try the gambling for once.

This is where parenting matters but there are really things which cant really be that avoided for your children to be able to learnt up something on which it would really be just that normal that it would really be something like this. If you are a parent whose really that doing gambling and then you've been watched by your children them most likely these children would really be ending up on
on doing gambling just because they are really that able to see it into their parents on which we know that it does really have that huge influence on them or simply they are really that
able to discover for themselves.

This is why it would really be that important that proper guidance about gambling yet we know on how risky it is and how dangerous it would be if you
are really that talking about the possible problems that it could make. So letting them know and realize on what are the dangers would really be that good.

It's crucial to recognize gambling's impact on families, especially those with children. That gaming may and frequently does cause major issues is the issue, not religion or personal views. Problems that can swiftly escalate and ruin families financially and emotionally.

Children learn about gambling's risks in homes that discourage it as a non-solution. Because they know the hazards, addiction, and losses, they consider it a fool's game. It's fact, not faith. Gambling worsens issues.

Peer pressure is evident in your brother's case. It's about the immediate social circle, not only TV advertising that thankfully don't encourage casinos and gambling. Gambling is normalized for children whose friends and relatives bet. Education must intervene. We must educate our youngsters about gambling's dangers, huge risk, and start decisions. Not only saying "no" to gambling but understanding why.

[kotajikikox]

Sounds like legit , because My brother learn gambling from none of the family , as all  of us did not teach Him or never let him see our gambling activities , but after some times ? we learn that He is already having account in online casino and even playing  small time gambling in school.

I don’t subscribe the idea of gambling being hereditary, I feel it’s more of what is developed over time. It’s normal for people to argue and also normal for kids to want to be right or the most correct person in an argument and at times, making the wrong kid feel hurt the most, you try to take something from him or her for arguing with you. That’s how it develops, from promises on big win, easy money and the exposure you get. That’s my opinion though, it ain’t hot much to do with hereditary as, it’s not in itself a trait and can’t be transferred in the genome sequence in hereditary.

correct mate, it is not hereditary not unless their family is engaging in gambling day by day then that might be considered as hereditarian but not in ours yet my brother still gamble .

Every gambler has the desire to win and it cannot be denied that they must reduce this desire so that it doesn't get bigger. Every gambler must have good self-control so he doesn't always follow his desires. He must realize that gambling cannot always result in victory, but he can experience losses that will become bigger if he loses self-control. That's where he has to learn about responsibility, taking good care of himself while gambling and not using too much money. We have daily needs that we must fulfill and if we use all the money for gambling, we will not be able to fulfill them.

Playing gambling responsibly with full self-control is a must for every gambler so that they can prevent themselves from gambling problems and gambling addiction. Gambling addiction has become the biggest problem that every gambler must be able to overcome so that they do not spend all their money and do not return to gambling more often. By always implementing things like that, it can keep gamblers away from these problems and they can enjoy gambling as entertainment.

I do agree that it is going to end up being a little different, if you keep on trying to win all the time, ignoring all the red flags and all the losses and keep on chasing that win, then you are going to end up losing a lot. I personally believe that the best way to go regarding this would be just ignoring that desire to win as well, I think you are right.

It should be our aim to have fun while gambling, if we can have fun that would be all there is to it and there isn't anything that would be better than that, if you only aim at having fun then you are going to reach that fun level eventually and stop or you will realize it is no longer fun and you are going to stop there too, that's how you should be gambling. If your goal is having fun, then you do not have to keep on winning, sometimes a little bit of win is more than enough, and if your goal is fun, it is easier to stop before you had any fun because you realize it is no longer fun to gamble.

At least we must be able to break the cycle of wanting to chase victory because we will have difficulty getting it. We can also imagine how much money we have to use, even though that money doesn't guarantee we can get the win we want. We often will only end up with bigger losses. That's why everything will be a circle that has no end if we don't try to stop it because the control is with us. By breaking the cycle, we can get out of gambling until we can calm our emotions and desire to win.

We should use gambling as entertainment and not use it to make money. There are many other places we can use to make money so gambling is just a place to have fun after spending our time doing activities related to making money. That is what we should do in gambling so that we will not be chased by the desire to win gambling or recover losses because we only want to use gambling as entertainment.

What you say is very real, in fact there are many threads that talk about this topic here in the forum, but it is always good to emphasize something that I have Always said that when you enter a casino you should always put at risk the money you are Willing to lose, because beyond that it is dangerous, you should never put at risk money that is already planned for something else, because that is where the problems begin, that is why the game is considered a game for flatters, because we have the responsibility to do things well and in a good way, there is no other way, it is obligatory to do it, in the case that we talk about the issue where even children do it, I think that this is a parental assignment, and I respect that you are looking forward to gregualr the activity. of your son, because it is obvious that things can go out of control, I can think that when we emphasize the degree of high information that our children receive on TV, well, it is something that could be confusing, but in the case Whether a child has access to the Internet is another matter.

Sometimes parents leave their Child's cell phone in order to have a quiet moment, without disturbing them and without them being entertained , but we must be aware that if we do not serve them, things can get out of control and can have very ugly consequences. , for that reason I always encourage parents to supervise them, in fact thanks to this topic , I investigated an app called family link, but I don't like it very much anymore, because they have a lot of privacy towards their children, and this is not a good thing. , I know the case of children who have killed even for getting into games like free fire, where sick people are found where they are threatened with death and made to do many things, this is what I call being something Irresponsible with our Children, and Just as it Happens in that game, they can easily enter a casino and launder any parent's credit card.

Sounds like legit , because My brother learn gambling from none of the family , as all  of us did not teach Him or never let him see our gambling activities , but after some times ? we learn that He is already having account in online casino and even playing  small time gambling in school.

Hahaha, it all because of advertising gambling advertising can't be easily found in the real world in everyday activities, but when child holds personal cell phone without parental supervision, that where everything happens.
He opens YouTube, Facebook or even Twitter where there are various advertisements for gambling sites that make him curious so he tries to play and even invites some of his friends.
This is the importance of always supervising every activity of child when holding personal cell phone.

~snip~

~snip~

correct mate, it is not hereditary not unless their family is engaging in gambling day by day then that might be considered as hereditarian but not in ours yet my brother still gamble .

Gambling is done by our children or relatives not because of hereditary factors but because they really the habit of gambling will appear directly if they live in an environment full of gamblers.
Maybe we don't tell or show gambling activities but outside the house they see lots of people gambling so it makes them curious and then they start to try and participate in gambling.

And in this case we can't do anything and have to accept it because technological developments can change anything significantly. And those who play the most role in preventing our children from getting involved in gambling are parents who must always pay attention to their children when using gadgets and playing with anyone, and not carry out gambling activities in front of their children.

Technology development has brought us good and bad influences at a young age. But as we can see, too sad that even kids know about gambling at a very young age due to ads everywhere which is not supposed to happen. I couldn't blame the actions/response of the government but it was too late already what these gambling companies had done already. Even the government will forced to ban ads but since they still allow gambling in their place or country, these kids will find and learn it.

This is sad for the current technological development and needs to be paid attention to. Sometimes, it is beneficial, but its downside is alarming. We cannot stand by and accept it. The government needs to intervene and strictly manage. Even parents should supervise their children themselves. We know that children cannot fully understand the harmful effects of gambling.
What do you think about children becoming addicted? They will steal money from their family and practice lying. And when they get into trouble as teenagers, what will their future be like?
