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

In my opinion, gambling depends on the home environment and the environment where he plays with his friends, because if the environment and friends are good then his brain will definitely avoid gambling. However, if the place where you live and the environment is bad, many people gamble, then indirectly, if they have a track record, the people around them will also do the same. Not because of gambling advertisements scattered in the media, because if it happened because of gambling advertisements in the media the whole world would definitely gamble.

Yes, it all depends on the home environment and where he plays with his friends, especially if children have friends who often do things that children their age usually do. That will make other children influenced by what they do so that it will attract other children to follow suit. This influence from their friends can make other children feel curious and end up trying to do it too. If they end up learning about gambling through socializing with friends, there is a chance they will hide it from their parents and other adults. And if it is not discovered until the children are adults, it can be even more dangerous because they can become addicted gamblers.

They don't learn it but subconsciously they look around them, usually children are curious because the people around them encourage them to want to find out more about what the people around them are playing, for example gambling, that's why It is very important to keep the child's environment positive. As long as he is still in a negative environment, of course it will be difficult to stop him from learning about gambling.

There are many things that a child often sees, they don't have to see a casino or people gambling, they only have to understand how the people around them are doing their activities indirectly, the point is that as long as they have a very positive environment, ofa course a child will not try to find out more. about gambling.

The gambling industry was build with the younger generation,because now the generation was changed.Now the younger generation was attractive towards the money,it was the reason for the boom in the crypto currency market.The gambling also feed with the huge younger generation by inspiring the old people in their family or by the parents influence to the gambling.If the gambler parent was playing in front of the kids,they easily get tempt to play the gambling in the future.

The gambling also had some negative impact of loss due to the random bet,the kids should ready to play the gambling game by the parents influence most of the time compared to their friends influence.

Explore how gambling attracts youth is intriguing. Your response shows a shift in mindset: younger generations prefer rapid financial benefits from gambling or cryptocurrencies. This raises the question: is this risk-return obsession new or a timeless human tendency worsened by technology? Parental influence on children's gambling is substantial. Gambling teaches parents and children risk-taking. The problem is how to teach kids to discriminate between healthy ambition and reckless speculation in a financial success-driven world.

Understanding gambling addiction psychology is crucial. Complex risk-reward-brain connection. We should encourage calculated risks and informed choices. Shouldn't we reassess our values and education to address these issues?

Of course a gambler's company plays an important role to make new gamblers. If someone has gambler friends in his environment then he will definitely become a gambler. Some may take more time and some may take less. But in most cases he will become a gambler. If a gambler wants to escape from gambling, he cannot withdraw from that environment. I have found that it is easy for gamblers to quit gambling if they can forget about it, but when close friends in one's environment are in constant contact with the gamblers, it is never possible to quit gambling. I agree that gambling advertising works far more than contacting gambling friends.

Yes, that's right, if we are in an environment that likes to play gambling on a daily basis, then we will most likely do the same thing. This is done because in this environment so that we can easily communicate and chat with them, we also have to follow their habits.

But not for people who have a strong stand or life principle, they will never be easily influenced by the outside environment and they always have other ways to get along with their environment without having to participate in gambling.

But life now is not like years back, at this time people prefer to chat through cyberspace. Even not a few people, to spend their free time just playing on social media. So to some extent, this gambling advertisement greatly influences someone to plunge into the world of gambling.

I highly agree, engaging in gambling can be influenced by people around the person.  If a person see other people having fun while playing in gambling, that person might be tempted to join these people and eventually engage in gambling like others do.  But @OP is also correct that gambling is inbuilt in  people.  Even without being influenced by others, there are moment where a person bet with his friend about something.  We do not need to go to gambling platform like casino to execute gambling activities.  A simple friendly bet is already a gambling activity.

Of course a gambler's company plays an important role to make new gamblers. If someone has gambler friends in his environment then he will definitely become a gambler. Some may take more time and some may take less. But in most cases he will become a gambler. If a gambler wants to escape from gambling, he cannot withdraw from that environment.

Gambling ads contribute to the dissemination of gambling in the society. Yet most people still don't venture into gambling after seeing those ads, because of their personal beliefs and understanding of gambling. The habit has bad publicity in society. So, we don't expect everybody to become gamblers. Another catalyst of gambling is the peers around the nongambler. People need to make money, and when they hear their friends talking about winning big through gambling they'll want to give it a try. Thereby, participating in a habit they don't have a prior understanding about. How easy does it seem to forget about gambling? Even when the player isn't with gamblers, he'll have his phone with him, nothing can stop him, other than his willpower. The bad publicity circulating in society regarding the disadvantages of gambling may have gotten to the ears of kids growing up. Which will lead them to ask or think about what gambling is about. Once they figure out it fetches money, they'll tend to try it while in an argument.

However, if addiction is hereditary, then the context of my thread is quite on point, as I don't understand how kids get to participate in gambling; locally. Who teaches them or do they learn from friends in school, can't explain. But, it'll leave me wondering how gambling habit is built. Lots of kids in a neighborhood where gamblers dwell must have had a relative who participates in gambling. That doesn't mean the child becomes a gambler, but there is a high possibility that the child, growing up will gamble one time in his life. So, those media advertisements can be secondary, word of mouth is the biggest form of advertisement. Especially in gambling, with addicted people getting in trouble every day. Parents will warn kids not to gamble. Remember that advice these days has different functions, it could help or destroy the person. If the child wants to know why his parents warn him against gambling, he'll gamble.

If an elder person in a family is addicted to gambling then that family will never be happy and peaceful. It can be seen that the younger members of the family become addicted to gambling after seeing him. One can never become completely addicted to gambling after watching advertisements.  Gambling can learn gambling or can learn gambling from watching family members. This is how little boys are getting into gambling almost every day. If family members keep the little boys under control, maybe they will not be so addicted to gambling.

That's the cons of it, when a kid is with friends that have been into gambling and those kids don't even let their parents know that they're into it. It's going to be shared with other kid friends that they have and out of curiosity, they're going to happily gamble with their parent's money and it won't matter to them because it's not their money. As long as they enjoy the money, whether it's with foods, drinks or gambling.

The only thing that will impact to them is the enjoyment that they're getting. I think the apps that can also be downloaded plays a role on it when they're accessible and can be downloaded anytime without having a very strict rule from such platforms like google play where they can just type a few keywords like gambling and app and then it will appear to them and they're free to download and play it. And much worse, if it's not just a free game but with deposits as well thinking that they're earning real money in an actual casino app.

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"

The government is right because majority of the people are introduced to online gambling by seeing ads online like on instagram, facebook, etc.
if these ads are not there then we were just surfing some other entertainment sites like youtube or streaming some movies, but these ads introduced many people to online gambling sites.
every person know about gambling when they are kids but that type of gambling (like if red wins I will win a pizza from you) is not very risky, the risky thing is gambling with hard earned money and how we know about it by ads or some friends they were also got introduced by online gambling by ads.

But instead of asking the family to manage a child, why don't the family manage the person who is gambling in the family, a very simple story, if we want to improve the younger generations, we need to improve the thinking of the adults, they are the first and closest teachers to the children. However, I feel that people are only looking at one problem, how to teach a child, how to separate a child from gambling, while the family constantly reproduces the act of gambling, if someone in the family is gambling, do it quietly and create a better cover for the child

As a parent or a guardian then we should really know on how to guide up our children on the right path.It cant be perfect or totally monitored but at least we are really that doing our part comparing
into those parents who doesnt really show some care at all.Somewhat it is really just that impossible that there would really be parents who wouldnt really be having care on what their children is dealing with. It is really just that there are things which we cant really be able to control and get rid of it considering that exposure and influence around would really be something that cant be stopped.
This is why we cant really put up all the blame into the parents or guardians because there are kids who doesnt really easily listen up into their parents when it comes
on lecturing or trying out to discipline on whats wrong and whats right.

Every form of gambling could be risky, even the one done as a joke between two friends. The loser may feel it deep down, as not everyone thinks the same way. The ads all over social media introduce adults to gambling, but the kids, how then do they get to see those ads? If not in stadiums. Remember it starts gradually, and the kids can grow up practicing a higher kind of gambling. The right thing to do, is avoiding the slightest form of gambling. As the urge for gambling starts gradually. If not taken care of, the child when he gets to adulthood will get too involved in gambling.

Unexceptionally, gambling as a nature of stakes between two persons or more, both the Old and the young ones do have positive side effects to the society at the other way round and not literarily that they are focus to make profits out of it but it is something that a doubts has to be cleared where stakes in one or two ways are considered between both. It could be financial stakes, materialistic stake, verbal stakes, outdoors activities stakes or otherwise where the gambling ground is best recognized a challenge and who gets it right is termed the winner.

Gambling is a competition between more than one party that has a winners reward earning.
Such as OPs figures about the kids, this could be an area side of educationality or sociality that built them the ability on that such as the quiz answering competitions at school, the rewards sets by either an  organization, schools or any facilities that who ever either come the first position or who wins in one way or the other depending on the nature of the competition or providing the background with an expectation would be tagged the winner.
Even at home parents sets some series of daring amongst kids either to scare them or discipline them with a domestic terms, academy or social terms that who meets up with a specific action/position would earn a possible rewards. This competitive backgrounds could motivate or discipline the kids in one way or the other so basically as long there is stake termed to be called gamble, then I must say yes, of so, gambling has positive offer to the societies too because it is basically an activity of competitions and the games of dares with rewards to earn at its ends.

But however, parents who gambles still have to be mindful of how they discuss about any form of activities that either is a social competition or the bet (lottery) competitions with stakes because kids are quick to advancing knowledges either by what they hears or what are seen.

I don't think there is child anywhere who would tell his parents that he likes to gamble because he doesn't want to get angry and maybe some strict action from his parents.
Indeed, the main factors in the development of gambling activities among children are the living environment and social interactions, so parents have an important role in determining which places their children are allowed to socialize.
Curiosity in child is easily influenced by things that may not be good out there and the spread of each activity among each child will also be very fast if most of them really like gambling.
If tell each other and show gambling activities to more friends, can be sure that all of the children in the group will be influenced and start trying to gamble.

This is crazy, children are starting to look for enjoyment from gambling which obviously requires money to play there.
But they got this amount of money from their parents and misused it for gambling, this is truly very unfortunate incident.
A child thinking is different and of course they have way of looking at things they do, including gambling, they will be wrong from the point of view of gambling.

If a family member is a gambler, then the family members should explain him and stop him from gambling. And if the family can properly educate the children, then it does not seem that any child can indulge in any bad activities. Some times in the family  A child goes down a bad path due to lack of proper education. Sometimes it goes down a bad path due to hanging around with bad friends.

The important thing is that family members do not show their gambling activities in front of the children. They must be able to hide it from children so that there is no curiosity from children who want to know what gambling is. Even though they can find out from their interactions with their friends, when adults or parents can explain and educate their children well, their children will not want to gamble with their friends. If parents in a family can educate their children and always remind them to maintain their relationships, their children will not try to do something that could have a bad impact on their lives.

Children are very curious and it is very difficult to hide anything from them, they will be interested in what you are doing, if you play in front of them, you will have to explain what you are doing and why.

And if you don’t want your children to know that you are a gambler, then don’t play at home and don’t gamble when you are near your children, learn to separate time for family and time for gambling.

I look down on gambling because gambling has good side as well as bad side. I faced many problems for gambling. But now with gambling almost everyone from children to adults know about gambling. As days go by gambling.  People's interest is increasing. Minors are more inclined towards gambling. If minors are addicted to gambling, they don't seem to be able to do anything good in their life. Many people have lost their money and become destitute due to gambling.

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.

Government doesn't encourage such advertisements that is the fact but legally minors aren't allowed to gamble either online or offline so if they do means they are violating the platform's term and breaking the law then they have no defence at all if something goes wrong even as a legitimate mistake.

Addiction isn't hereditary like diabetics but the environment where they grew up is probably the factor that led them into that way.

I agree that governments does not encourage minors to play gambling but advertisements and those that operates legally were the stepping stone as kids can see them in most social media platforms where in fact they can see tutorials. What kids see around will remain on their minds and will influence them until they grow as adults but this will also depends on how parents guidance with their children.
