Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation

[decodx]

Yeah. Parents, teachers, lawmakers, casinos... all bear some responsibility here.  Parents oughta talk plain with their kids about gambling and setting some firm rules about money.  Teachers could put some of that discussion about gambling into their curriculum and provide resources about responsible gambling, telling students about smarter ways to use their cash.  The big dogs policymakers writing laws can make internet gambling off-limits for kids and give problem gamblers a hand up.  And I reckon the gambling industry can promote responsible gambling practices and offer support to problem gamblers...  Gotta be a team effort across the board.

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.

Acceptable. Previously, the most real fear of intelligent people before we existed on the internet was that freedom and convenience were misused. Online gambling has a big effect on the future of young people.
Playing the role of all educators from within the family, teachers and other learning communities can be one way to protect the younger generation to limit the negative things about online gambling.
Not forbidding not to gamble. With the roles played by all these parties, the younger generation knows that gambling is only for fun and testing luck.

[bettercrypto]

The effect of the internet is that there is a real danger in real life, especially for the younger generation that we have today. In short, it really has pros and cons. It is only at this time that gambling promotion has become rampant through social media platforms, where the Facebook and Youtube platforms are already being used in the promotion of gambling ads.

The worst part of this is that most of those who use these two platforms are younger generations whose parents cannot always monitor their children using YouTube and Facebook.

[Slow death]

Well, with the emergence of technology obviously there will be advantages and disadvantages. But talking about the case of gambling, some governments and news channels have spoken badly about gambling but have forgotten to talk about how alcohol is destroying the lives of many young people every day. Here in my neighborhood, for example, I have seen young people drinking alcohol all day long and beer companies continue to advertise beer and no one criticizes anything. The news channels don't criticize wine factories, they don't criticize the companies that make cars. There are many people dying in car accidents. but no one blames the car companies. That's because the wine companies are not to blame, the beer factories are not to blame, the car companies are not to blame. It's the fault of people who abuse alcohol and speed in cars

In games of chance, it's the fault of people who abuse the game, there's no problem in having a large increase in people playing as long as these people are playing with greater responsibility, I myself have seen many people in my country buying tickets for years. lotteries every day, but when I talked to these people in my country who have been buying lottery tickets every day, I realized that they were not people who just focused on gambling. They were or are people who have a life in the real world in my country and many of them are doing very well in life. So that means that gambling is not harmful to those people in my country. anything people do excessively will always cause problems

This reminds me that years ago in my country, people thought that giving video games to their children could make them stay indoors all day and become addicted, so parents at that time sent their children to play outside the house until very late. later and as a result the children began to become addicted to alcohol, so many parents changed and started forcing their children to spend more time at home playing and studying. So this shows that technology, when used well, can bring many benefits.

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.

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.

Gambling risks are rising for young people

It would make sense that gambling is more dangerous for young people. In that age, young men are risk-takers, as if they wanted to prove something or impress someone. Obviously for anyone that has a business that leverages risk for profit (aka casinos), they see that their marketing audience is obviously risk-taking young men mostly. This can have a bad physical effect on them, which lasts a lifetime. The brain is still growing in your teens, and addictive activities like gambling or addictive chemicals (drugs/alcohol) can have a very negative effect on the growth.

You are right, many who started in an early age, they usually have a lot of problems that they take with them into adulthood. And it is never not a problem later in that childs life. Sooner or later it will become one.  

[uneng]

Gambling has reached a point where it's impossible to be forbidden, exactly due to the accessibility factor, which makes gambling available to everyone at the reach of their fingers at a smartphone device. Naturally, younger generations are the most affected ones, because they are the individuals who make use of such devices and internet for the longest periods of time, besides the fact they are still unexperienced people, so they are prone into absorving what the world has to offer them, without much critical thinking.

Since you can't forbid gambling, the doubts arise regards how to deal with this issue then. I believe the best approach is a positive, propositional and frank conversation. Explaining how gambling works, why it's not profitable on long run, how to gamble responsively, what the correct reasons to gamble are, and so on... And if the young is too wishful, then go gambling with him, but guide the whole process. Set up a limited bankroll, have some fun and once you are over, just tell him it's time to stop. At same time, show him the consequences of not stopping on the right time.

Stay vigilant and attentive to the young's behavior right after he was introduced to gambling. Check how he is going to act from that moment on. Give him space and freedom to act, but not neglect him, as he is still learning and acquiring new experiences. We never know how these experiences are going to affect him and his future decisions, so it's a sensible moment.

If the young gets out of control, despite all the guidance and care received, the next step is to seek for professional treatment, although the chances of that happening are really low if this individual comes from a functional lair which gave him all the support mentioned above.

The accessibility of casinos online could be a huge risk for the younger said but I believe casinos and bookmakers are already aware of the negative effects of it in our society is the reason why casinos restrict players below the age of 18 and also require players to date of birth before making a single deposit.
I believe the means the younger generation escapes restriction is mostly physical/real-world gambling not online because every issue experienced by online game providers always leads to new rules and regulations to protect their reputation and also avoid getting into trouble with the authorities.

[Ever-young]

We can’t control where this teens go and where they will be at every particular moment which means their is limit to the kind of things we can stop them from doing even if you don’t give them enough money that will serve them to gamble with the little money which you allocate to them for their up keep can also be used to gamble the best thing is just parental guidance the ones that will listen will listen and the ones that will not will still follow other ways to do what’s on their mind even when you keep on punishing them until most of them learn the hard way they will never want to stop.

For children who are still below a controllable age it’s always wise for them to be place under surveillance and their gadgets under parental control at least from their one can have access to the kind of sites they visit and restrict those casino from opening from their device.

[letteredhub]

As parents our role and responsibility in giving our children the moral guide on how to go about life, teaching them about the consequences of certain things they will want to go into out of peer pressure without due diligence, things like gambling. Looking at how the gambling industry is waxing and employing all attractive strategies and outlook to lure the young to gambling in the disguise of getting entertained if we fail to caution them beforehand it will be very difficult to discourage them from continuing when they have already engaged into it and getting addicted to fun that follows. Am of the opinion that school curriculum should fix in a space for admonishing the young about the evils for gambling if they go about it the wrong way. It will really be helpful .

[famososMuertos]

I think, there are so many edges,then,  where to start: e-sports are on the rise, gambling is there, online consoles require a subscription plus expenses on the platform, social networks are a way to leisure, so gambling is not 100% % of the weight as if you possibly had it before.

Hence, the possibilities of betting the addition are so varied, that it is an enormous matter, consequently  socio-cultural conditions influence a good orientation, but nothing is as decisive as moral principles that are infused at home.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

The right age to gamble in most countries, if not all, is 18+ years old, and there is no way parents can still be scolding a child of 18 years who decides to make gambling his hobby. As a parent who has properly raised your child from an infant until they are now a full-grown adult, what else do you need to teach them regarding the kind of decision they must make or the kind of choice they make? Perhaps before children get to adulthood, their parents have really taught them quite a lot of things that should make them choose between what can destroy their lives and what can make them excel.

In my country, rarely will you encounter underage people who are gambling. I have not seen or even read about issues like that in the news. Although I am not 100% sure that they might not be, even if there are underage gamblers here, you will rarely hear any of them.

Gambling is not that really a big deal on young generation because they have limited source of money so the chances for them to become addicted is much lower compared to computer games, alcohol, and other recreational activities that involves socialization. The only reason why it’s a big deal for us is we are involved closely on gambling but if we think  zoom out here, life is still pretty normal even with the existence of online gambling.

Besides KCY will make this kid keep away on gambling there’s already a selfie verification that will them detected by the casino once their account was requested to KYC. I will be more on cautious for my child to get addicted on illegal drugs rather than gambling because they will never be interested on gambling if they don’t have a lot of spare money and have friends for their social life.

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.

This is really the best way but the problem is how will you detect your child doing gambling because there’s a high chance that they will do this secretly instead of being transparent with their parents. The best way to deal with this is to limit their finances up to the point that they will have no spare money for gambling.

When we were young , Gambling is already in the places even in school meaning teenager is usually into gambling in their younger ages but what we have
now is Internet gaming and with this yeah our teens is vulnerable and can access easily without anyone knows that they are addicting , so Maybe i support that point and let people understand what they are entering and risking.

Even how good the teacher and parents but it is about the community  we cannot watch our kids 24/7 , specially when we are working so Maybe this is about how we bring them to maturity and how to be trusted to what they wanted to be in life.

[Nrcewker]

Parents can control them if they want. Don’t give them money to gamble. If they won’t have any money, how can they gamble and become addict? Moreover the ad campaigns are the main culprit, for which these new generations are pulled to this gambling trap. They don’t understand the risk involved and go all in while betting. They don’t care about the money, as they don’t do the hard work to earn it. Sadly we can’t do anything other than the KYC thing imposed by the gambling sites.

I highly agree with you, the best way to keep young ones from being ruined by gambling is to have proper knowledge about gambling.  Forbidding them without telling them the reasons can only fuel their curiosity which can lead to devastation.  Giving them seminars and a deep understanding of gambling and its effects will give them a natural resistance to gambling addiction.  They should be properly guided by the older ones since I think that gambling exposure is inevitable due to technology.  With just a simple click or touch kids can enter the gambling environment so it is best to equip them with knowledge about gambling than secluding them away from gambling.

Parents can control them if they want. Don’t give them money to gamble. If they won’t have any money, how can they gamble and become addict?

I do not think parents can control their kids' access to technology.  And by not giving these kids allowances, this will be make a wall between parents and child, I still think the best approach is guiding our kids on what to do with gambling.

As a parent we cannot control everything, the best we can do is to guide our children to have proper knowledge on how to carry themselves and have self control over their actions.

[michellee]

The role of parents and teachers clearly cannot be separated from supervising their children because it is very important in monitoring their development. Parents should approach their children more often, ask them to tell stories about their children's activities and try to find out most of them. However, many parents do not implement this method because they are busy working.

The parent handed over supervision to other people in the family environment. Parents should be the ones who need to get closer to their children. Parents need to play their role and provide an understanding of what can and cannot be done. Easy access to search for information from the internet makes teenagers feel free. Teenagers then abuse this until they end up getting into a lot of trouble.

If the internet cannot be used properly, teenagers will fall into the wrong path and vice versa. Teenagers should be able to use this easy internet access to gain a lot of useful knowledge for their future. Hopefully, after the many problems with teenagers, parents can open their eyes to improve their relationship with their children.

Instead of controlling, why don't parents guide their children, as it's their responsibility? If the parents guide and supervise their children right and always, then that child will never take an interest in gambling or what they see will be limited by the parents, and if they see things like gambling or anything that they should not see or take an interest in, then the parents should always be there to explain that it should be avoided as it can influence them badly.

Of course, if the children themselves cannot be controlled or have an attitude, then it's a different case; in short, it's a case-by-case basis, but for me, there will be no young gambling addicts if they have been supervised and disciplined correctly. It will never be hard to control the child if they have been disciplined correctly from a young age; discipline is the most effective way of parenting.

That's right, I see nowadays even many young people who know also even some of them are addicted to online gambling with their inability to leave that activity, and they tend when they have a limited amount of money to force to gamble online. As you said, with them like this it is clear that they get problems such as lack of physical activity such as exercise, also they tend to become lazy to do things that lead to health.

I think that even though they have grown up, it doesn't mean that parents let go of their supervision, it still applies even though they are adults, and the advice you said makes sense. And after that they also have to be aware of gambling things that can make them addicted to gambling which leads to the destruction of their lives. And also with those who are still young, they should be able to take advantage of the opportunities in their youth with good things, also by working to prepare for their own future. Because obviously their future should be prepared from now on and it also depends on themselves, because if they are addicted to gambling in their youth, of course I think their future will be destroyed.

Gambling risks are rising for young people

Due to the development of the world, people have benefited as well as disadvantage. Earlier, as there was no online gambling, people physically participated in gambling very little, but nowadays, with the establishment of online casino platforms, young and old people are participating here. But they need to be more vigilant to steer young women away from casino platforms. If they can be kept under more surveillance, they may be able to stay away from online casinos. After that, children should be prevented from using mobile phones.  Gambling can be avoided if children can be kept away from mobile phones.

[Hirose UK]

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.
