Is it proper for younger ones to gamble?

[Riginac111]

I asked someone besides me why did they allow this boy's to come in with their uniforms and gamble, he said did they put any restrictions that younger ones are not allowed to gamble. I said but it's not normal, I replied him what if this are your kids would you be happy seeing them gambling with their uniforms on them. So what do you guys think about this situation at hand now.

answer: definitely not. Minors have nothing to do in such places, and their parents should more carefully control what their children do and with their money. And there is a problem that children will start looking for money for new rates and skip school. If I were you, I would leave a complaint to the manager so that he would be more attentive who comes into the establishment.

anyway children art whether good or bad it is the front of the parents if you are allow your children to be mindful of looking for money or making money they will not Focus and interest to the place that they want them but the process whereby you have a plan for them and you resist them to not participate certain thing that they are not supposed they will desist from it immediately knowing that they are not taking a good step or rightful step

This exactly is my main point. Kids , teens no matter how grown or matured they seem to be are under no circumstances allowed to involve them self in Gambling activities of any sort. Sadly some countries have poor management of rules and regulations that restrict individuals below 18 for being able to gamble or even place bets in casinos. This is even better enforced in area's with traditional and regular casinos since it is quite difficult to enforce such rules online.
When kids and young adults involve themselves into Gambling activities at a very young age, it usually has some level of negative effects on them even in terms of behavior and intent and love for money. If you observe properly many under 18 gamblers gamble mainly because of the financial benefits and nothing more.

If they are not strict with their regulations, it will surely be abused or ignored. Gambling in their younger years has different impact as the way of their thinking is usually not yet mature. Most of them are just after for the winnings. Once they experience loss or incurred debts, it seems that it is the end of their life, which we all know is just part of gambling life. How they handle stress and losses sometimes is quite dangerous. Do remember those news in which young individuals commit suicide owed to gambling.

Study finds 4 per cent of suicides in Victoria are gambling-related, but number may be much higher


For older gamblers, they already experienced a lot in life. So a loss or losses for them is just part of this game. Should not take it too seriously, otherwise, you will go crazy chasing those losses. Also, better not to incur debt for your gambling activities. This is where the situation can easily get messy. And you will have chaotic life if you will subject yourself to debts.

Well to me everyone have their right to decide what to do and what is obtainable for them, I don’t see any fun in telling them no to gamble, as long as they know what is good and bad, let them enjoy their self and if they lose it will be on them

Younger children should not gamble because of concerns that they will gamble excessively. But we will find it difficult to forbid them from gambling because their current relationships are difficult to control. Only guidance from their parents can help these children not to approach gambling.

After all, parental guidance really helps the development of their children. Their children will not try to approach gambling if they already know the effects of gambling on themselves and their lives. They will also try to limit their interactions with their friends, especially if their friends could have a negative effect later.

Parents must be aware of this to guide their children well. Nowadays, children's social interactions are freer than a few years ago, so parents have to be more active in supervising their children. With good and correct guidance, parents can hope that their children will not do something that could hurt their children.

but you know some parents are so much busy with work this days and most of them don't even know how their, children are coping with their school life's instead the children will come back home and eat relax and sleep till next day. So most of the parents are to blame on this situation and the children are easily to be corrupt while they mingle with the corrupt friends, so from there their life have started mostly when it comes to gambling lifestyle. You know the younger ones whatever they've gotten addicted to it's very difficult for them to end it, and starting from here and worse part is when their parents don't even know how their children are doing or their lifestyle is. So with this I do blame the younger ones parents cause they don't know how their children are doing at school.

 I get your point but you can't tell me a parent would be too busy the whole year without having a single break from work which is an opportunity to use in checking up on their child, I could remember as a kid when my mom would call me and my younger siblings into her room to give us sex education and advice us on certain things about life, it really helped us not to live a wayward life like most kids in the society then.

 It's the duty of parents to make sure their children are in safe hands, you've failed as a parent if you do not raise your kids properly and allow them to go wayward, you need to scold them when they do wrong, let them know the consequences of their actions and teach them never to d such things again, parents should learn to have a mutual relationship and understanding with their kids then they'll be bold enough to open up about things then you'll know things they do and the kind of friends they mingle with.

Young generation usually has a high curiosity about something they have never tried including gambling. So it is possible that the young students you saw in the betting shop is doing it for the first time because of curiosity. Of course it is also possible that they have done it many times already, it means that we do not know the real fact about those young students so we cant make a conclusion that young players ignore their education and focus more on gambling.

[Fortify]

Because nowadays the younger ones take gambling more seriously then school. Yesterday i got back home early so I decided to step out and go to a betting shop to catch some fun while gambling, I saw two teenagers gambling with their school uniforms on them.

I asked someone besides me why did they allow this boy's to come in with their uniforms and gamble, he said did they put any restrictions that younger ones are not allowed to gamble. I said but it's not normal, I replied him what if this are your kids would you be happy seeing them gambling with their uniforms on them. So what do you guys think about this situation at hand now.

That is definitely not a normal experience you've had. In my country it is illegal for anyone under 18 to be in gambling environments and it is pretty strictly enforced, because if the police were to catch it happening then it is likely an expensive fine would be handed out. Besides that, it is just bad form for staff or the owner to be letting in young kids like that, it would probably get them a lot of hate generated from the community which could ultimately get converted into pressure for them to be shut down. It's possible the workers have instructions to prevent their playing there but we're too lazy or disinterested to take action against them, as these sort of places can generate a lot of conflict behavior.

What I think about this situation is that you overexaggerate things, it is not as bad as that. Well, I do not know your country and neither do I know your locality even if we are in the same country but one thing that is certain in my country is that no matter how bad the locality is, you can't wear your school uniform to gamble, except in some few cases where the situation of the neighbourhood is very bad. There are also a few instances where the parent or a senior person send the student to play for them.

However, it is so irresponsible of the gambling agency to allow such students or known underage to gamble. The agents should be arrested and tried in a court of law to be a deterrent to others.

Other than this, you will not hear of such in my country and many people will even frown at it. Now considering how it is in my country in the worst-case scenario, you can see that it is even minimal to warrant the importance you are laying on it.

[Hypnosis00]

Firstly I think that younger ones Gambling is very wrong. The age restriction for Gambling is more like a safe guard to prevent unnecessary and irresponsible Gambling habits of an individual and hence the Gambling restriction of 18+. A lot of teenagers are not able to make proper decisions for themselves hence if they are given the opportunity to gamble they will end up abusing it and even harming themselves. One common issue is that in some countries they are unable to properly enforce the 18+ Gambling rule hence alot of these teenagers in such countries are able to do such things illegally.

It's worse than you think. Those kids are not gonna quit even if someone talks to them about the damage it's doing to them  since they were already exposed to it earlier. It'd be hard to break off such habit now if they're already doing it with their uniforms on? That's really wild. They now have their balls deep in gambling. Whatever you learn in your teen days, is gonna stick with you in life for sure. That's why I fear for those kids especially if they randomly win, the dopamine hit will push them to bet more.

Early addiction is really hard to heal, and that ain't work too easily, especially where online games and gambling sites are rampant and anyone can gamble.
This is what happens when influencers promote gambling which exposes kids to it. If the government will never take action with this, more and more young people will get involved in gambling.

I'm not against gambling but it should be regulated in order to save young people/kids from early addiction. We know the negative impact of this in their life and we don't want to see kids commit crimes for the sake of gambling.

[teamsherry]

That'd why the government put laws on gambling and kept it for adults, so it's not okay, yeah some countries might have other laws against gambling but I don't think exposing children to such addictive habit is okay for them and it could destroy their lives if they are not careful.

True, I think it is a fact that children who are still underage have a high curiosity about whatever they find and what they hear, usually they don't really care that it is prohibited, as long as they can reach it and as long as no one prevents it then they will usually do it based on high curiosity, And I think you're right that it's likely that the young people we see in the betting shop aren't the first time they've been there, if you see them doing it so smoothly without asking any questions to anyone there then yes it's likely that they've tried it a few times before so it's like they're used to the environment in the shop. But at the end of the day it is a concerning situation that someone who should be spending most of their time studying various subjects at school but they are instead taking the time to engage in gambling, I think this is the reason why parental supervision is really important.

Gambling is for everyone, but we may need to be considerate a times with the age range of the children that are to be allowed to gamble, in some certain conditions, we may advise for the younger ones to play games instead of gambling because of the requirement of money in gambling, younger ones may not need to gamble as the way the adults do, we may also need to exercise restriction if the case needs for that on children to gambling.

Gambling is for everyone and everyone who has money has the right to gamble because the main requirement for gambling is having money, but what differentiates them is their age compared to adults, it is really sad to see young people gambling when they are still young, it seems like it will end their dreams. because it can ruin their future. As people who live in society, of course we care about the people around us. If we see young people, especially school children, gambling, we can advise them not to play games that are very risky and it is better to play online games. which is more suitable for them than gambling which is not suitable for them. With this we can help people around us to stop gambling at an early age.

It doesn't mean anything, even though they don't harm us, but how much better it is than seeing children gambling, it's very unethical and very sad, in fact I can't imagine when their parents having high hopes for their children to become children who will make their parents proud but it turns out they actually gamble secretly and use their parents' money to gamble on what the future will be like if young people are allowed to gamble.

This is not about fun or limiting them from enjoying themselves but about the repercussion of it on a long time. If a child gets use to gambling at a young age, that child is likely to go into addiction if not properly managed because when he doesn't feel he is getting the fun again from winning, he will keep getting involved. Again, gambling involve money and when you don't have money even as adult you can sell off your property in that pressure to gamble on a game you feel is going to be winning. Now, what happens to a child when he doesn't have money to continue? He goes after his father's money.

[bakasabo]

It might be correct for younger ones to be allowed to gamble, only after they understand how hard it is to earn money and they might gamble only with their own earned money. In theory, they are allowed to do whatever they want with their money. The sooner they learn consequences of losing in gambling, chasing loss and addiction, the better it be, as they have full live ahead. On the other hand, younger ones are not ready mentally to take risk, to cope with stress. In reality, they already gamble with in-game purchases, skins and etc. So saying that they are not ready for gambling also is incorrect.

[hyudien]

answer: definitely not. Minors have nothing to do in such places, and their parents should more carefully control what their children do and with their money. And there is a problem that children will start looking for money for new rates and skip school. If I were you, I would leave a complaint to the manager so that he would be more attentive who comes into the establishment.

Basically, gambling is something that has a lot of negative viewpoints, therefore minors should not be familiar with gambling and not engage in gambling, even though nowadays they can get to know online gambling with the development of increasingly sophisticated technology which can make it easy for them to get to know it. or knowing many things just by using a cell phone, but of course we have to be able to prevent this by providing good education so that they can avoid bad things, actually gambling itself is not bad if we can do it right. Unfortunately, the fear is that they will become addicted to gambling.
Parents definitely have to be careful when their children enter high school, because then they will choose their own social relationships, and if they socialize with the wrong people, they might be exposed to gambling even though they are not old enough. However, it is also impossible to supervise children all day long because parents also have their own activities, so even though parents have given them the right education, once they enter high school, the rest of the choice is up to them to decide what to do well. or bad.

[Riginac111]

That'd why the government put laws on gambling and kept it for adults, so it's not okay, yeah some countries might have other laws against gambling but I don't think exposing children to such addictive habit is okay for them and it could destroy their lives if they are not careful.

government knows the reason why then make a law that children should not participate in gambling when they have not gotten to a particular age because when you look towards that you sense a lot because if children participate there will be stealing their parents money including people living around their environment when they don't have money to gamble they will find all miss to make sure that they have gotten money to Gamble so that is why it is not good for children to know how to gamble at area stage without being up to adult age

[Mia Chloe]

What surprised me was that the owner of the gambling shop understood that minors were not allowed to gamble, but he still allowed these children to gamble at his place even in their school clothes. I understand that he is also in business and money is money, but there should be limits on who he accepts the money from, he should be aware that it is not appropriate for him to accept underage children to gamble at his place. Didn't he think about how the child's parents would react when they found out that their child was gambling in a place like that? They would definitely be very disappointed with this, because no parent would want their child to become a gambler at a young age.

This exactly is the major downside of laws that are not properly managed and enforced. In the first place I see no reason why teenagers should be allowed to show much interest in public gambling in regular and traditional casinos let alone allowing them to place bets knowing fully well that the are underaged in such an activity. It's very common to come across kids carrying out things that they are not supposed to do because they are not properly monitored.
I think one major reason the casino management still allowed those kids on uniform to place bets was because of the fact that they are greedy and there was no one to quary such activity of report them to the authorities.

is improper for young person to gamble and it depends on the kind of young we are talking of because I know that anyone that is above 18 years is entitled to gamble so but if you are not in up to 18 years so younger ones that is supposed to gamble is the ones that is above 18 years and also have a small job they do to get money because if you don't have job that is giving you money is not good for you to be a gambler because gambling need money and then when you don't have money I don't think that you will carry on your gambling successfully
