Have you ever introduced an elder gambler to online betting?

[Hirose UK]

A person who has been going to physical casinos will never like online casinos. They go there for entertainment and not for only gambling. I understand why your grandmother did not like online slots as it doesn't give her the satisfaction. At that age, it is not that easy to understand how to access an online casino. If you do try to explain to her she would get confused that is why let her do what she wants to. By the way, I have never introduced any senior or elder to online gambling

Wrong, many gamblers who previously bet and played at physical casinos now prefer online casinos and this is because of all the convenience that online casinos provide to all gamblers.
But if he is an elderly person then obviously I sure that he will never like online games like slots on gambling sites because this is new type of game.
And those elderly people who used to play in physical casinos will not have encountered slot games in their youth or while they were in physical casinos, it just that now many casinos provide slot machine game options with various types of games.
In fact, there are many special places that only provide slot games with various types of modern machines which are quite interesting.

In context like this, it is clearly challenge to teach older people to understand online casinos, they may be less likely to trust online casinos because everything works digitally.
I myself would never be able or willing to provide understanding and teach about online gambling to elderly parents.

My neighbors are older adults and generally I have talked to them about Bitcoin and they hardly thought about it, now things have been changing, I don't know if it is because of the economic situation that has made them change, when we talk about the economy we always I tell them the benefits of being in an economy where there is no inflation, but I am a person who always tells them the good things, and it is difficult for them, because they are not good at computers and that is why I don't have time to teach them, but I would teach them, So they are starting to like bitcoin, I have also told them about the casino with bitcoin and well they get scared, they say that the money goes there very quickly, and since they have played in casinos, well I tell them what the conditions are like. rules.

But the thing that seems most unsafe to them is that they have to leave their IDs at the casino, they say that they are not going to do that, and on that side it is difficult and it is not possible, that is what they don't like and I understand them.

Each person may be different when they are introduced to online gambling, some accept it and immediately use it because they think that it is easier, faster, and can be accessed anywhere. But there are also those who reject it after they are introduced to it, their reason is that it doesn't offer real games like in offline casinos and they don't get that offline casino vibe when they gamble online. So maybe it depends on the person whether they can accept online gambling or not, but from what I see, most generation X or boomers are more inclined to choose to gamble at offline casinos compared to online casinos.

Yes this often happens, I have done this to older gamblers and most of them refuse, for the first reason they are not used to online casinos even though it is effective and efficient, secondly we know that generation X has a technology stutter, so they prefer offline casinos to online casinos.
The majority of online gamblers are those from the millennial generation to the current generation because their lives coincide with technology and the internet so their online gambling is much closer to them than their parents or generation X births, maybe some people who have been exposed to technology when they are young, such as parents who are in the city are not so familiar with online casinos, but I am also sure they are not so comfortable with online casinos even so.

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?

I never introduce anything risky to other people, even if that person is a gambler. I almost never introduce virtual gambling or online gambling to anyone.
reason I say this is quite clear, all gambling is very risky and I don't want to be the person who feels the most guilty if one day someone I introduce to online gambling accidentally becomes addicted.
and another reason why I will never introduce virtual gambling to elderly people is because older people have reduced eyesight, a mind that easily forgets and there is a very high risk if they deposit into the platform but enter the wrong address and end up lost his budget.

well, for me these reasons make a lot of sense because even though my fellow gamblers really don't like introducing something that has a bad impact even though our intentions are good, we also have to look at the impact in the long term.

As you can see, it wasn't only about gambling, but also about interacting with other people inside a real gambling environment, besides the technological experience not being so rewardable when compared to playing at solid, palpable physical machines.

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?

I have not because none of my elder friends who are into physical casinos approached me to teach them how to play gambling online, and I doubt that they cannot grasp how online casinos work because many older casinos prefer physical casinos because of ambiance, I have seen a lot of elder people in casinos but they are there for the ambiance the love for quality time with peers that accompany them in physical casinos.
Whereas in online casinos they are playing alone and there's a chance that they will become more addicted and it's not good when an elderly becomes addicted.

I haven't introduced gambling to any senior citizen of my country, I know how some individual aren't so strong emotionally and they can get emotional when gambling and also the elder individuals can get emotional too quickly therefore I won't want to be the reason why an elder individual loses his life due to gambling. He might gamble with all his life savings and when he loses all the money, I'll be the one to be blamed as I was the one who introduced gambling to him.

If the elder individual wants to gamble due to not having enough fun in their life, they have to try games like bingo and not to gamble by playing sport betting that can give depression and high blood pleasure. If he wasn't having enough interactions with other individuals then I'll look for other activities that can give him that and not to introduce the elder citizen to gambling in traditional casino or online casino.

i never introduce online gambling to elder people because I feel that it would be unethical if I offered something like this even when I know that they are gamblers. Moreover, like your story, it is quite difficult for older people to accept technology and play at online casinos, such as depositing, withdrawing, or choosing the games they want to play, it seems quite difficult for them, so I am reluctant to make their lives even more difficult and I'd better just leave them like that.

In this case I am not really pointing out the benefits of online or physical gambling to recommend to someone who is elderly, and honestly I would be more inclined to express my concern for them, after all they are someone who has entered the final phase of their life and with this as you said it is an unethical idea if we advise them to get involved in gambling especially if they basically never knew about gambling at all.

Old age is a time that should be enjoyed with a lot of fun, I understand that gambling can be fun if you gamble in the right way and approach but we have to look from the other side which is that gambling is risky and anyone can never avoid the name of risk, we can see the impact of gambling that will not only make you lose money but can also make you experience a lot of pressure until finally stressed and what that means is I don't want to see them spend their lifetime with the wrong activities that have a lot of potential to eventually make them quite stressed.

Same goes for me on which i  dont really like on introducing things into others on which it doesnt matter if they are young or old, i just dont really like for me to be getting blamed
on the time that those people whom ive been telling something specially about gambling or betting do ends up on wrecking their lives just because of such recommendation.
I dont really have that kind of confidence that they would really be able to succeed out into this field. This is why it would really be that best that you should really know
on what are those things that you would really be needing to set out and whats not. Dont be give out those kind of idea specially to elderly because we know that
once they do become that addicted, then you would really be having that sense of responsibility on what happened and this is something i dont really like.

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?

Well, there is a difference between senior gamblers who usually gamble in physical casinos and today's gamblers who are more accustomed to technological developments. as one of the examples you have said, it is not just playing that is their entertainment goal. as well as facilities, interactions and everything including physical gambling. most of them, especially the elderly, are not used to the sophisticated developments of the times. plus, they are also looking for other entertainment. So, it's only natural that there will always be a difference between physical casinos and online casinos. but for us, it is clear that online casinos are more efficient and make everything easier than physical casinos. It's just that, there are other pleasures presented between the two. So, for me both are enjoyable. However, I tend to be active online. So, the ideal choice is an online casino.

To be honest, I have no experience introducing elderly parents to online/virtual gambling. Apart from gambling for me being a personal area, usually as far as I know, elderly people are rarely interested in technology. However, how can they enjoy their old age? Perhaps, online casinos could be a means for elderly gamblers to channel their hobbies without having to travel. at least they can fill their free time, even though it's not like a physical casino. but I say again, gambling for me is a personal domain. So I rarely share it except for people who know me more closely.

[crwth]

I didn't know that most elderly people in a casino have some connections. Most of the elder people I see there are just staying in their machines and not doing anything. Not interacting or something. For sure your grandmother has probably developed a sense of touch with a casino and just gotten used to it that it makes leaving uncomfortable. I believe that's what happened.

I haven't had any success in introducing it to an elder person but probably not going to because if they aren't gamblers by their age at the elder level, they wouldn't probably go to do it. Maybe just for a while but not gonna stick to it. I don't have relatives who are gamblers ^{that I know of}.

This is exactly why I would be in support that older people enjoys gambling more than the youths.
The Grandma was literally chasing after fun and no making profits. At her age, she could not derive fun in gambling when she is alone. At an older age, gambling is enjoyed by interacting with the audiences and not as the youths who demands concentrative attentions before making a satisfying predictions. The company as Co. gamblers whe sees around the physical gambling places are the motivations of finding funs while gambling and that was the interests of the grandma.

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?

I have never introduced any elder person to gambling, and I don't plan to, unless the elder person explicitly approaches me seeking guidance. I firmly believe in refraining from introducing older individuals to gambling due to the significant risks involved. Elderly individuals are more vulnerable to the detrimental effects of gambling compared to younger individuals. Many seniors may already be coping with health issues, and excessive gambling can exacerbate their conditions, potentially leading to premature death. Recognizing these dangers, I am steadfast in my commitment to never intentionally introduce an older person to gambling.

It is essential to prioritize their well-being and protect them from the potential harm and devastation that gambling can bring. Therefore, I am resolute in my stance against initiating elderly individuals into the world of gambling, understanding the profound implications it can have on their lives.

[Westinhome]

Not entirely true, it's simply that the approach of older people is completely different from the current generation, they go to traditional casinos as a way to recall gambling memories and find familiarity, a game is good enough and simple enough, why does an older person need to learn things that are more complicated and don't belong to their childhood. Online betting involves too many steps and is suitable for those who know a little about computers, older people should still be encouraged to go to offline casinos, at least there are still many people paying attention and preventing them from taking big gambles

The current generation doesn’t have any peaceful communication with the old age people.Because the mindset of the old people was different from the new generation,the current youth want to enjoy their life.But the old people was like the younger generations should settle in their young age.So the young people can live the peaceful life in the old age.If the young people share about the gambling to the old people,they just remember their old memories in the gambling site.So this will trigger the mindset of the old age people into the gambling.This leads to the old age people start their gambling games because of the memories remembering by young people.

In context like this, it is clearly challenge to teach older people to understand online casinos,

I consider anyone older than my age to be older, and I can refer to them as older people. If an older person who already has tried gambling before ask for some tips and lessons from me because they have seen that I am a better gambler, I will be willing to teach them a few things that I know,

I myself would never be able or willing to provide understanding and teach about online gambling to elderly parents.

If it is elderly people, unless i find them struggling with an online gambling application, I will not teach them gambling. Some elderly people have frail hearts, with one very big win, the excitement can fail their hearts.

[ChiBitCTy]

I can hardly even get my friends to try and understand the advantage of online gambling in combination with using bitcoin, I can't imagine trying to teach my mom or my grandmother how to bet online.  Now they are two completely not tech-savvy people but even still.  I also feel like a lot of the older folk enjoy gambling for the atmosphere that being in person brings, just as much as the actual gambling itself.  So, not sure how many would like to adopt online vs in-person.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Introducing an elder person into gambling is something Ive never done and may possibly never do due to the fact that I don't have many elderly people around me, not mother, not father, not uncle or brother, and even aunt, I am basically a loner based on where I currently live, and I think I like it.

But even if I had elderly people around me, I possibly will bother introducing them to online gambling, first reason being that, like the story op shared, they just going to tell me that online casino are not as interesting as playing offline, since in offline casinos, one could meet friends and family, and even make new friends through connections and so on.
And second reason is that, most of our elderly people around are not well educated enough got handle the pressure of using the internet, most especially when money is Involved, they are likely fall into the hands of scammers due to their limited level of online knowledge.

So, better for them to stick with offline casinos while we who are young and educated enough stick with playing online.

[marcous]

Personally, I have never done this, introducing elderly people to playing online gambling. Indeed, there are many cases of elderly gamblers currently turning to online gambling, because it makes it easier for them to gamble anywhere and anytime. I believe that they were taught by young people, who of course agree with them or say they often play land gambling together. Usually elderly people will very easily accept the idea of playing online gambling, especially if they come from an environment where gambling is illegal, of course gambling online can avoid the bad stigma against them because they will no longer be caught. On the other hand, introducing online gambling to other people is actually very wrong, unless they ask for it, because basically them are a land-based gambling addict. Because after all, when they experience serious losses, of course as friends we will feel guilty for our attitude in introducing them to online gambling.

This is probably one out of a good number of population because I see older people who don't like gambling either because they have had bad experience in it from the past or they were brought up in a religious home that talks against gambling. So in this case maybe this age person who freely goes into a gambling centre is already a gambler and doesn't need to be taught. He probably talks with people around because he is free and use to what is happening there. An aged person who is a novice in gambling is different and difficult to be thought about gambling. Aged people don't like learning what they feel won't be easy for them or won't benefit them.

Interacting while gambling ahs been a very interesting part of gambling that you sometimes need so that you can exchange idea and improve your gambling skills well enough to make more profit and aswell have some more fun gambling too , sometimes the interactions we get to have at the physical casino is really entertaining.

But then I think recently some online casinos have begin to introduce chat boxes where gamblers could interact while gambling and I've come across a few so it's possible to have almost similar experience to that which you had at the physical casino online, there's this online casino I once visited and we were playing crash game and I saw the chat box and I saw how fellow gamblers were discussing about the crash games and how it did affected them especially some who has exhausted their funds in their wallet already.
