Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation

[arjunmujay]

Saving the younger generation from gambling is not only left to the parents and teachers to do alone. It is supposed to be a joint effort for every one of us to get involved by telling them the dangers of gambling at a young age when they are not established in life and have a future to build in.

By teaching the next generation about the risks associated with gambling, we are indirectly saving them. Leaving it to their parents and teachers could have little effect on the lives of the younger generation because many parents live hectic lives and are unaware of the friends and lifestyles their kids associate with.

With the development of the world of technology becoming increasingly sophisticated and information systems also very fast, of course young people today and in the future will definitely be able to access this information, especially gambling sites.
Apart from the role of parents who must always monitor their children's movements in cyberspace, the role of the government is also very influential here. where the government must also be active in eradicating or restricting gambling sites and information related to gambling. If everyone can work together, young people will definitely not fall into things that are not their path.

With the easy accessibility of the online gambling sites and tools, the younger generation is more involved in gambling. The risk for them is not only that they will lose money but gambling at such a high rate and at the age of teenage will cause them a lot of problems like lack of physical activity or no interest in the studies as they will more inclined to get easy entertainment in the form of gambling.

This is of course quiet alarming as it raises concern about the newer generations future given the fact that most social media influencers and popular artists promote this kind of activity here in my country that may influence the mind of these youngsters. As technology advances young people can easily access through mobile devices without parents consent.

I am always worried about my child's future because when my child is active online in front of the desktop, ads from many gambling and casino sites start coming. By seeing these ads, my children have renewed interest in these gambling and casino sites. Such gambling and casino sites are also trying to attract the younger generation by advertising on various social media. In future young generation will be interested in gambling and casino sites and they will involve themselves with these gambling and casino sites very curiously. We who are guardians will never be able to keep our children in check because they are automatically attracted by seeing thousands of such gambling and casino site advertisements from online and in this case guardians have nothing to do. Moreover, seeing the attractive advertisements of offline gambling and online gambling on street billboards and festoon banners, the young generation is getting attracted to gambling. If this continues then in the distant future the young generation will become indifferent to their careers and get involved with gambling and casino sites.

For some countries where gambling is legal, it will clearly become easier, not only in physical casinos, but online casinos will also be easier to access.
But in physical casinos, it is clear that there will be an age limit for the teenage generation young people will not be allowed to enter.
But all this is the opposite for online casinos and of course there is no age limit for regulations that customers must obey, if it is based on KYC then young people will use their parents identities to complete KYC.
There is nothing that can really limit and also reduce the risks of gambling for the younger generation, they will still have the freedom to decide what they choose and as long as there are many ways that make it easier, they can continue to gamble with lot of convenience.

The role of parents and teachers is very important in handling cases like this, they are closer to young people and they can continue to monitor, advise and also direct them towards better path.

If the younger generation who are underage are using their parents identity, then this means that parents are involved in all this and they know that thier children are gambling and therefore they are responsible for any good or bad outcome.

We only blame the gambling sites as they are allowing minors to access the gambling sites but the reality is otherwise. In most cases, the parents and the family has a soft corner for their children and therefore they agree if their children asked them to allow them gambling. The pro and cons of minor gambling relies on the kids and thier parents are fully responsible for it.

I'd done enough when I was young too, we would want to have it all, the taste and experience of everything possible so I know the gist. But one thing I am happy about till today is that I did/do not go extreme in any way/anything the way others are doing. But it seems that our generation is wiser and more cultured than this, and this generation does not have much of restraints, they are being affected badly daily thinking they are the wisest, and if they are exposed to gambling, it will be an issue since they are still very young, this is in addition of living a carefree life which most of they are known for at that age.

And since they see their friends using fake IDs of their parents or uncles and others, they would want to do the same and get the taste of gambling as well. This might not be fine for most young people, but some might be delivered over time as they grow, while others will never get delivered and will continue gambling till they are old. But it is not fair to say that their parents are gambling or they know about this, some would know but most might not know. And among the ones who know, the mothers might be the most as they are the ones that always have the softest tough for their children.

If child steals their parents personal data or identity, they will never know about it and of course this is quite complicated matter.
It would be very easy for child to complete the verification by stealing his parents identity because child can even steal money from their savings balance, let alone just their identity.
Parents must really be able to supervise and also continue to pressure their children not to do bad things behind their backs and that is what they should do from the start.

We cannot say that gambling sites are at fault because they have also provided KYC requirements for every user, except for local gambling sites and new ones might also state that they do not require KYC.
And basically it is clear that KYC is completed with personal identity data, while this identity is owned when they are adults, the only thing children do is steal their parents identity.
The biggest mistake is parents who fail to educate their children and provide education or are negligent in supervising their children activities.
It is very inappropriate to blame gambling sites for cases like this because they are in business and of course they have also provided requirements such as KYC, it just that some children use their own methods to complete the requested KYC.

The most effective way to address this issue is for the parents and teachers to play their part and convince the young generation the do and don't of gambling and how it can harm our personality and life if we are addicted to it.

Laziness is becoming a problem as everything is going into digital form, the youths are lacking exercise and other social activities for gambling online but other things are getting taken off from how they use to be and now going online. Kids no longer play together as they get all the entertainment and quality time from the scream of their laptop or playstation. As parents and guidance, we need to educate our children so they know the importance of socialising.

When it comes to gambling, we should teach our kids the right way to gamble and monitor the hours they spend gambling. Gambling isn't bad but when they over gamble, it'll become a problem and since they're gambling online they'll be getting other problem that comes from using the scream of our laptop often. They won't have any social skills since they're not making friends or going to play with friends.

And this game does not need KYC to send chips to other users. So, if user win or get a jackpot, the user only needs to send the item to other user who wants to buy it. I believe, this kind of game also give effect makes children trapped in gambling at a young age.

Parents have lots of work to do in the society, although the current parents who don't know much about the tech world, have done their best, but seems they failed in their teachings regarding the use of gadgets for longer period. Hence, a new set of parenthood would be emerging soon, which include the tech savvies and computer trained people. Then we'd know if the problem is from the parents or the schools. It may be the fault of the parents to some extent, but the society has a lot of duties to do with young people to stop their excessive engagement in gambling. Most of them hide these activities from their parents, and it's getting out of hand, even in the recent world economy, parents hardly spend time with kids. Both parents go to work for long hours, some do shift, to get more money to settle the family bills and take care of the child.

While they're away to work the child may engage in different activities due to boredom. Going out with friends and peers, is their best fun time. So, it'll be a tough thing to change the mindset of most young people to begin to see gambling for it truly is, other than a way of earning money. Online casino has made it very simple for youths to gamble excessively and get addicted in the process. Many youths are lonely and have nothing doing, that's why they spend their stipends or pocket money gambling. However, other youths are getting deeply addicted to video games. Which is about to ruin the social lives of the young people in the society. The electricity lifestyle has pushed the society to a way different level and things are expected to remain the same.

Because currently there are still a lot of parents who don't really understand technology because every era they live in is different from today's times, maybe for today's young parents they understand technology better and understand what online gambling is. There are some parents who limit playing on cell phones and there are also parents who not are too demanding by limiting the use of cellphones because nowadays many of the young generation are strict and don't care about their parents prohibitions. So that as parents they can't do much, they can only monitor their children's activities and hope they don't do anything out of control, which in the end detrimental to their parents.

And parents who are busy working definitely don't pay too much attention to their children because they are too concerned about works to be able to earn money to support their children lives. No matter how busy parents are, taking care of their children is still important. They also need to be cared for so that their future can be organized and if possible, they can avoid gambling which will hinder his future.
In my opinion, those who bear full responsibility are the parents of each young generation. If parents provide education about the bad things about gambling and advise them well, then the younger generation can understand and comprehend these bad thing.

It's not simple task to handle the upbringing of children, and whatever morals we use on them would matter during their youthful age. Most times during therapy, the expert would go as far as wanting to know the upbringing of the child. How he was treated as a toddler and how he responds, when given a gift. These things repeat itself while the child is growing. You'd watch or observe that a child who is hyperactive or very happy when offered a gift, when involved in gambling as a youth may be so happy when he wins a game. The joy could take the player farther to try again. Although, it's good to be responsive when winning, but with no proper control it could distract the player from focusing on his game. So, parents need to stay very observing of the reaction of their kids and know why they've chosen to behave like that.

Upbringing requires consistency, as it takes years to change a person's character. Looking at your response it shows that since the youths are strict and don't abide by the rules or advice of their parents, what would be the fate of the youths when they get to parenthood? And would they deal with their own kids? that we may not be sure of, but from the look of things it'll be a difficult task for a gambler to change his child who wants to gamble. You'd notice that in the nearest future gambling may be an overlooked habit. Which won't be bad, but there may be a high rate of addiction in that essence. Just like in the case of many other addictions where youths are involved, their kids may grow involuntarily to participate in those activities, if care is not taken.

The most effective way to address this issue is for the parents and teachers

I would agree that parents should help to find the solution with this issue, but have doubts that teachers should be involved. Teacher is the one to give knowledge, experience, skills or whatever he could, be he isnt responsible for raising children. This is parents duty, because they are responsible for the child.. There might be situation where teacher and parents have different vision, then the child will have "system crash" in his processor.

There's no way on knowing that until problems become that known or having those kind of effects on which it did become severe on where it do really ends up for you to be wary on whats happening
but if things remains silent then as a parent then you would really be that blind on what are the things which are currently been happening. If you are really that not making yourself having that
sense of responsibility towards your children on how to raise up them well but there would really be situations or conditions on which you would really be that making yourself
that would be able to miss out.We do know that things cant really be totally be blamed by those parents because there are really children that would really be going
into the other another path despite of being guided well by their parents. This is why it would really be that situational.

Risk gambling? In todays era where technology and accessibility on different things and information then there would really be those possibilities on which it could really be able to bring out
that kind of situation which we might not aware for them to be already making out some engagement.

nowadays quite a lot of young people are exposed to gambling even though they are still at school and don't have their own income. they become gamblers at such a young age because of exposure from their friends and their parents' lack of supervision over them, which makes them gamble money that they shouldn't gamble with. moreover, with increasingly easy access to online casino platforms, it has become easier for young people to access gambling platforms from their devices.

the increasing number of gamblers from the younger generation has become a problem which, if not addressed, will become quite a serious problem in the future. and therefore there is a need for strict supervision of casinos to create regulations and stricter age verification and education from parents to be able to ensure that their children are not exposed to gambling from an early age.

I agree, casino just give an offer, decision not from them. well, It's not just about casinos, gambling is now emerging in the mobile games. we can find several mobile game where the application does not provide gambling, but users can send in-game items (chips) each other , making this game used as gambling by its users. And this game does not need KYC to send chips to other users. So, if user win or get a jackpot, the user only needs to send the item to other user who wants to buy it. I believe, this kind of game also give effect makes children trapped in gambling at a young age.

It is so true that if the younger generation decides to gamble, it is their mistake because they should know that gambling carries the risk of losing money. They don't need to gamble but use their time to do other useful things. I think I've seen the type of game you mean and it's true, they can send chips to other users. I've even seen some kids buying and selling those chips and if I'm not mistaken, it's on buying and selling sites out there. And it can indeed trap teenagers into getting involved in gambling at a young age, where they are very vulnerable to knowing something they don't already know. This will make them start to get to know gambling if they see gambling advertisements, and eventually, they will start gambling more often.

I think you are talking about in-game purchases or so called loot-boxes. Indeed this is a real plague. I doubt that this is a direct gambling, but it is even worse, because it isnt regulated at all. If in offline or online casinos kids can be stopped by age check or KYC, then with loot-boxes kids are one click away from spending money and getting random item in exchange for nothing. In gambling at least they can win something, with loot-boxes this is only cosmetics. Kids spin wheels, buy and open boxes, just to get "red hat that looks nice on a character". That is really awful and totally unfair.

This will make them start to get to know gambling if they see gambling advertisements, and eventually, they will start gambling more often.

A lot of this can be prevented by teaching them about gambling and other vices and how they eventually make the person suffer and hence right in the growing years a child can understand the good and bad and learn to avoid the latter.

Playing once a year is for fun and its not bad - losing the money might actually make that person understand the worth of that money which they could have used to buy something different. Gambling will exist in different forms because of the human nature to take risks but it is upto us how we shape our next generations to face this.

I think there is a huge market for that, and kids are purchasing those items with lots of funds. However, it's more like a way of enjoying the game, but it takes up both money and time from the kids, thereby risking his chances of getting addiction in video games. Such kids may not find it hard to become gambling addicts, since they've been practicing almost similar things in the past. Purchasing of armors and guns with real cash. The gaming world is quite evolving, and people especially growing kids need to be carefully watched. Because one they get addicted, it's almost for life. You'd watch them talk about games each day and won't leave the screen once on it. However, Video games are meant for both kids and adults, and not restricted. It's now the duty of the parents to regulate the playing process.
