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.

There's a local gambling platform in my locality that's called lotto and a lot of older people are the one who patronizes it the more as the time of it's establishment can dated back in the 1970/80s. So one of my neighbor who's very experienced in online betting decided to introduce one of the men in my neighborhood who's always engaging in that gambling activity to online betting and to the my greatest surprise, the man who was introduced to online betting became very addicted to online virtual betting that he sold almost every of his belongings in the space of two weeks of being introduced to online betting. It was after that sad and regrettable event that I decided not to introduce anyone to online betting.

I don't dare introduce virtual gambling to an elderly person, especially if he has never been exposed to gambling before. It can make him addicted to gambling, and that is not good for his health and finances. He should be able to enjoy his old days in peace, but if he is familiar with gambling, he can gamble longer, and maybe he will find the joy of playing online gambling and forget about everything. It will be more risky for him because he can spend all the money he has without remembering his limits. After all, he already feels the pleasure he gets from online gambling. But I think older people are no longer interested in today's technology because they think it is too complicated to understand, so they don't want to deal with things related to technology and tend to leave them to the younger people around them.

[Hispo]

I have not and I don't think I would try, to be honest, the elderly here in my country are pretty much accustomed to the social aspect of gambling in person and surrounded with other people, rather than staying in front of a screen for hours and hours. Not even mention that they are more used to handling Money in the form of bills are coins instead of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
Besides of the gambling aspect of using Bitcoin or alternative currencies, there is also a social factor which would make me not to recommend any elder to get involved into Bitcoin or Alts. Because of the economical crisis here in my republic, it has become very common for people to try to find alternative sources of income for them to get by, elderly people are easier for scammers to deceive and make them participate into schemes like Ponzi's or piramids, I would only talk to my parents about this world because they are tech savvy enough and are aware of what scams are and how they usually work.

Anyways, if I started to talk about crypto casinos to some elderly here, they would probably tell me they do not understand anything and they will continue with their classic slots, lotteries and bingo.

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

Yes the guy I introduced is already a gambler and have played in physical casinos and he is a responsible player so I have no problem with his attitude on gambling, but I have watched and keep monitoring because playing online is very different from playing in physical casino, you'll have to be good in keyboards when playing online an so far he is doing good but I keep reminding him that to limit his time playing online as an older guy he needs to move around its not good if he stuck in a chair for a long time.

[ethereumhunter]

They can understand the pattern if they try to learn how the game works but I don't recommend this to them knowing that they are prone of losing or get affected much on their activities so as much as I can I will never mention any gambling activity to elderly since I don't want them to get stress for losing their money since for sure some of them is nor earning much and I want them to use their money on more important things basic necessity that can be used everyday.

If they visit physical casino well that it is but still I will never introduce this kind of activity to them since I don't want to get blame if there's something bad will happen to them that's why I avoid much having a discussion to anyone regarding this online gambling activities since its so hard on our part if someone blame us for that reasons.

We don't want to see them lose control of themselves because they gamble excessively so we wouldn't recommend it to elderly people. It is better for them to do other things that are more useful than playing gambling, especially if there is a surprise from the gambling game in the form of a big win or loss that will shock them, and they are not ready to see it, so it will shock them. This will disrupt heart health because elderly people are vulnerable to heart health. So we should avoid introducing online gambling to elderly people.

If they gamble at a physical casino, they have to meet many people there, which can also make them unable to stand the atmosphere, which is always busy. Maybe they won't be able to concentrate on gambling so they can blame us for taking them to that place. We should not discuss gambling problems with elderly people for any reason and if they open a conversation about online gambling, we can divert it to other things.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with introducing online gambling sites to someone who is elderly as long as they are used to gambling and they are still able to spend some money to gamble, but sometimes online gambling sites make you forget yourself and the person could even become addicted because virtual gambling can It can be done anywhere at home, whether they are eating or doing other activities. So even though it makes things easier for them, they also have to be careful because when someone who is used to having fun can't control themselves.

It's different when they have to go to a physical casino, they can still stop and go home and continue the next day, whereas online gamblers can still gamble at home. After all, going to a physical casino is more fun and can interaction with lots of people, whereas when gambling at home you may get less pleasure because you feel lonely. I myself have never suggested anything to elderly people because in my area there are rarely parents who gamble.

[Reatim]

Yeah , I use to invite my Friends Uncle into Online betting because since he is a gambler all his life then why not try to put Him into direct betting using Online in which since he is Old now and need to drive in casino each time so it is a relief to him having a gambling game inside His house.
and yes he loves it and as far as I can see , he is winning sometimes and yes losing at some point but contented to what he is doing now.

That is the same way why I wanted to introduce this gambling into people who already involved in gambling already , and my thought is clear and I don't need Him be lured and become addicted because he is an regular gambler all his life.

As long as you introduce and explain everything correctly without excluding the possible risks that can also occur when the person you recommend bets on this type of online gambling then I think it doesn't matter, because what is feared is when you explain something that tends to only lead to its advantages such as online casinos can make it easier for all gamblers to gamble anytime and anywhere because with this it is very likely that he puts aside his caution and vigilance about possible risks that cannot be completely avoided which in the end can make them stuck in the addiction zone or experience a lot of big losses. But if you recommend everything well, especially about the chances of winning and the possible risks then I think they are unlikely to suffer a significant amount of losses, especially if you always monitor their gambling activities along with always reminding them to limit their gambling activities, it's a good thing because with the convenience offered by online casinos, the risk is very likely that they plan all their time just to gamble, and this is dangerous.

Before, I never introduced gambling sites to the elderly, but now the situation is the opposite. If you want to do a survey, introduce online gambling to young people, they will choose to gamble in online casinos with the technology currently available, the elderly are already very busy. to learn to open online sites

[junder]

I have never done this, because in my opinion gambling should not be introduced, in fact I do online gambling secretly, like doing it in my own room. because I think introducing elderly people to gambling is not a good thing, indeed in my environment sometimes there are elderly parents asking me about online gambling and they really like doing it, but I myself admit defeat, I don't I don't know about that, because I don't like to show off the gambling that I do.

Even though there are some people who like to brag about their gambling, that's their own right, but in my opinion, it's better not to brag about the winnings you get from gambling.
and if I introduce online gambling to elderly parents, I'm afraid that person will experience a lot of losses that could destroy his life and his family, because I think it's time for elderly people to enjoy life in a relaxed manner, like chatting a lot with friends. his friends, or doing something useful like gardening or anything that doesn't lead to big risks.

The gambler mostly not introduced to the gamblers at the old age,because they can’t understand game at the old age.If the old age gambler play the gambling the game most in the random betting.The analytical skill was very low among the old age gamblers,So I don’t do the share about the gambling to the old age people.The old people who asked themselves about the gambling games to me,I will share their some of the gambling site which personally using for the gamblers.Many old people like to entertain themselves by spend the time with their grandchildren instead of playing the gambling game at the old age.

Cognitive abilities and analytical skills can decline with age that potentially lead to less informed decision-making and increased susceptibility to gambling-related harm. Instead, prioritizing activities that promote social interaction and bonding, such as spending time with grandchildren, can be a healthier and more fulfilling way for older individuals to enjoy their leisure time. If older people express interest in gambling, they need to be provided information about responsible gambling practices and steered towards reputable resources and support services if needed.

Encouraging open discussions about the potential risks associated with gambling, particularly for older adults, can help raise awareness and promote informed decision-making. The well-being and happiness of older individuals should be the primary concern, and activities that foster positive social connections and enriching experiences should be encouraged over activities that carry potential risks, such as gambling.

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

Will never like? Hhmm... I don't really think so. I am sure a lot of us here do also started in offline casinos. In fact, we then stick to it because online casinos gives so much comfortability and there other perks too which can't be found in their offline counterparts. Not all offline gamblers are the same but I still believe that majority of them plays for profit.

I even know a couple of people who has this type of playstyle and their age groups are different. No matter what side you choose, what you are doing or playing is still gambling. We can't please everybody, so yeah, we can just let them whatever they like. What important is they are happy there.

[Japinat]

Unfortunately all my gambler friends who are older than me are not into online, they want a face to face gambling, and majority of them are into cock fighting which is very popular in the Philippines. I also bet like them but I'm more focus on sports betting, particularly on NBA games and PBA (local league), so I could not force them to like what I love to bet because they are not well verse when it comes to online gambling, and even if I will teach them,   it still won't work as they are not even good on basic computer, or anything online, it's just almost impossible to teach people who have no interest.

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

Elder gambler as in senior citizen because it’s very hard to that because they always preferred what they use to play and changing that involves new technology will always make them back off. Old people usually don’t want to embrace new technology especially if their current gambling method is working for them perfectly.

I think the only time I saw an elder gambler that embraced online betting is during pandemic when casino is not available to play while online is the only choice for them to gamble.

[Queentoshi]

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

Introducing gambling to anyone is bad, young or old, man or woman. Let anyone who wants to gamble learn it themselves so they can have themselves to blame, or let another person introduce it to them, so they blame another person not me tomorrow if gambling makes life harder for them. There are much better things that I can introduce someone to like crypto and trading, I am not a regular gambler, and have the ability to control my urge to gamble, instead of teaching people about gambling, I will teach other things and advice elders and the young ones to be careful with gambling because of what it can do.

I was thinking about my past experience with my grandmother when I was still starting in crypto industry and was getting familiar with gambling yet. Since I knew she was a gambling enthusiast (loved slot machines), I tried introducing her to virtual betting, telling it was an accessible and easy method to gamble from home with comfort and easiness.

So I opened a slots website on the laptop and told her to click the touchpad over the roll button, indicated by the arrow on the screen, to start betting. She did it for a while and had some fun when winnings were hit. In the end, I asked her what she thought about the experience and if she would replace the habit of going to physical casino by the virtual one, but she replied that it was too complicated for her to play online, and that she likes the contact with a physical environment where there are physical machines and other people to talk, so she could leave the boredom of staying alone at home to see traffic and flux of people outside the doors.

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?

Yeah, I introduced an uncle who loves to gamble but his wife and children wasn`t happy with the habit. However, he wasn`t reckless because I never heard of any act of irresponsibility from him. His family was only angry that his ego and the way people see him might be affected and so they pleaded he stop gambling. When I heard of this, I advised him to gamble online and that his gambling activities would not be open to anyone. I helped him set up the account, funded it and showed him how to navigate the website. Well, I can`t tell if he still gambles offline but he was happy learning how to gamble online.

Theologically speaking, elderly people generally don't like online gambling, because their habit of physical gambling was inherent when they were young and they weren't very good at using gadgets like they are now, in contrast to people today where almost everyone already has gadgets and is free to use them. access whatever we want, I have never offered online sites to the elderly but I already know the answer from them

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

I have never introduced an elder person to  online gambling. First, even though for a young person it looks like the easiest thing in the world,  it can be really challenging for someone after a certain age. If you have questions in real-life casino about anything, you'll be helped by the stuff immediately. But online it can hard for an elder person just finding the Support button. And while all of that can be finally explained, nothing can replace socializing with people around for people who fancy it.

[Promocodeudo]

I have not done this before but I have be sincere to you doing this makes me feel as if am introducing someone to something that might ruine him or her, another point we need to consider before introducing someone to something is that in what way will such benefit the person or will it increase the person level of gambling since no one will monitor him or here again, is gambling a career, to me I don't think so, lets think before doing things, let's not make it look like gambling is a lucrative business or career that people should build in it.
