Is it proper for younger ones to gamble?

Now, I'm not saying you should never gamble. If you're old enough, play blackjack or roulette. Act responsibly. Establish limits, know when to quit, and never risk more than you can afford

That's right, the key word here is "old enough". It is not proper for younger ones to gamble. But they can gamble when they are old enough. At proper age they will know how to not go beyond the limits they set, or if you still go you violate your rule, say, going 10% beyond but not more. Those things you can understand only when you are an adult person, it sounds like abracadabra to young kids. When someone is considered "young" is a big question, but something is certain: under 18 you are definitely young.

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.

It is wrong grant gambling access to kids below the age limit set by the gambling companies in agreement with the government. These age limit was chosen to ensure that they gambler is fully away if the risk involved and also be able to take clear decisions not influenced by ignorance. I know that it will be completely difficult to enforce this age limitation given that children now have access to the internet at a very young age and through non-KYC crypto casinos, children can easily gamble without restrictions. If government and the gambling companies can spend more funds in creating awareness among the younger generation on the need to focus on other things and not gambling at their age, it will help a lot. Such campaigns are the only feasible way I feel will help.

Younger ones doesn't have to gamble and with supervision from their parents, younger ones will not trying to playing gambling. If their parents can explain the effect of playing gambling at their ages and what will happens to people around them, their children will not trying to risks themselves by playing gambling. They will be careful when they are with their friends and always reminds each other not to playing gambling. They will tells many things about gambling, especially if their childrens can explain every details about the effect of playing gambling.

That will makes their friends will always carefully and will search for other entertainment. They can realizes that they don't have to follow other children who playing gambling because every children have their decision and if they are not playing gambling, that will be good for them.

I think it's extremely hard to explain to young children of the age below 12 why is it bad for them to gamble. First off, you have to be an authority for your kids so that they were trusting your words. Secondly, they may simply don't get what you are talking about.

The thing is that when kids want to gamble, it's not for entertainment for sure. They want to make money from it and money only is what interests them here. It's adults who can(and must) be gambling for entertainment purposes. That's why before you are an adult, you shouldn't gamble.

At that age the best explanation is still a visual explanation. Maybe trying to show a regular gambler at small local casino, and a successful person in expensive car near business center or offices would do the job. The more facts of how gamblers lose money and conditions they live in comparison to others you provide, the better it would be. Find out what kids at that age use to measure success, and use it as instrument to show success. Perhaps, showing that gambler use not expensive android phones, but other successful person uses iPhone 15 Plus would help younger to evaluate who has more money, and who not.

There is no restriction to gambling age when you are 18+ having met that age you are qualified to gamble and  advised to do it responsibly, those below the age of 18 are only gambling illegally and that because most casino and gambling platforms did not use KYC on the bettors during their registration process. However KYC are being advised by the government to gambling platforms, in subsequent time they might add it up and prevent underage from gambling. You could imagine how addiction can mess up the life of a grown adult who is likely to have more experience and wisdom than an underage, how much more of damage can it cause in the life of those below 18. Where I'm from, if an underage goes into a gambling hall to gamble and he wasn't denied the opportunity to gamble, if the police paid a visit to that casino, they'll definitely arrest the manager for violating the law.

The thing is this does not only happen in casinos. Betting and gambling is part of a culture at a larger context.

You have to understand that it is literally everywhere. Kids not even 18 yet already bet on stupid things no matter how big their money is. This just shows that betting does not start nor end in a proper casino.

I agree with you. I would like to add that children's perception of the world is very vivid and we have long forgotten how we felt at their age. Over time, we all become more calculating and calmer, but children feel this world like an open book with 1000 possibilities. They are gullible and do not know that free cheese is only in a mousetrap.
Therefore, at a young age, even if children were able to illegally access online casinos, they are still in danger.

I can't agree more! Indeed, visual explanation is better for most kids than a million words. Maybe going to those places where many people are playing slots simultaneously and showing your kid how most of them look like, their faces distorted by greed, and your will never want to be like them. But avoid showing him their faces when they win because he will most likely want to be like them. If that happens, try to explain to your kid that the chance of that is very small, and it's not worth it to risk turning into the people he saw earlier who were playing slots. Why is the chance of turning into them is high is because he's a kid, and before certain age he won't know how to treat gambling properly.

I also first though that going somewhere and showing how people lose, their anger and other bouquet of emotions will be a perfect description of what to expect. I though that finding a place, where low income people gamble would fit, in addition to come up with idea that they look and dress like this, because they have lost and dont have money for good things. But they I though that I cant show a face of a regular online gambler, despite showing streamers who waste money stupidly.

We can explain or give any picture to our children regarding the impact of gambling addiction. This is the first basic understanding of your child's knowledge regarding gambling. when they are still small and don't have their income, maybe they will realize and obey. but when they grow up, they tend to explore on their own. The first knowledge you are introduced to will be a warning. but when they find out for themselves or are introduced to them by friends, when they already have their income, maybe you can no longer put pressure on them.
I will emphasize more on being responsible for every action and activity he undertakes. he or she must look at any risks before doing anything, including if in the future they might access gambling.

You're right that's just the problem with kids under the age of gambling because unlike adult they see gambling in different perspectives which they believe they could win alot of money from it and before there parents will realize themselves the child will be out of control because the influence gambling has on kids is that it could make them to start thinking about doing illegal things just to get money and gamble, which is why is very important for parents to established a good interactive relationship with there children because it will help them to watch closely on there children by asking them about there friends and the kind of stuff they normally discuss on there school, and with this we can easily noticed the kind of influence there friends are having on them.

We all know how horrible gambling is. The devil will damage your life, etc. Suppose I told you there's another side. A side that could teach our youngsters about life? I'm not advocating jumping into the casino with kids. Life is a gamble. Every decision, from profession choice to stock market investment, is a gamble

Why not teach our kids about risk, reward, and informed decision-making through gambling? Setting limits, regulating expectations, and avoiding getting caught up in the game are key. By discussing gambling honestly, we're not only prepping children for Vegas. We teach kids life skills. They study personal finance, temptation psychology, and self-discipline

I don't minimise gambling addiction's risks. It's serious. But this often-demonized behaviour can teach us a lot

Ok, good thing you went further to explain who and at what number of years old a person can be considered to be too young to gamble, or old enough to gamble.

But on the other hand, I still think it makes sense for people to always consider their financial level or status as well, because in our contemporary society today, level of fiancial stability or success is another way to or of measuring maturity.
I personally is of that opinion that a man who is matured, like 30, 50, any age above 18 actually, and seriously struggling financially, should do away with gambling, because this are the type of people that usually turn themselves into problem gamblers, getting addicted and destroying themselve the more, only a very few lucky ones scale through this, get lucky by winning a huge amount that possibly changes their financial situation.

Precisely because the casino tests us and our children in such different directions, we must be comprehensively developed, just like our children. You need to communicate a lot with your child, in no case ask him "how are you" just for the sake of saying it. We need to be aware of all the hobbies of the child, this is very important.

I am so confident in my words because I often see how avid gamblers accuse their parents of a lack of attention from them.

That depends on how their parents approach to explain to their children. If we can explaining about gambling with carefully and our children can understand about that, they will not trying to gets close with playing. They will not trying to playing gambling even if their friends asks them to playing some traditional gambling to them.

It's all about how their parents can position themselves towards their children and not only strict forbid them not to gamble. But many parents nowadays only forbid their children from gambling without trying to get closer to their children, so this will make their children rebel or try to gambling with their friends in secret.

The thing is that when kids want to gamble, it's not for entertainment for sure. They want to make money from it and money only is what interests them here. It's adults who can(and must) be gambling for entertainment purposes. That's why before you are an adult, you shouldn't gamble.

For the first time, they will curious with gambling and they will search for why people wants to gets fun from gambling. So they will try to playing gambling with their friends in secret and they see that they gets entertainment from gambling. But if they can't control themselves, they will lose their money and they will asks more money from their parents without tells what they will do with the money in truth.

It needs awareness from their parents to explain what is gambling and the risks behind of gambling with the danger that their children can gets from gambling. When their parents can explain everything about gambling, their children will not trying to playing gambling.

[Apocollapse]

It's weird if someone allow the young people to gamble.

Young people are vulnerable, they're immature, so they still not able to know what to do and what not in their life. Exposing the young ones to gambling, drugs, sex, or war, as they're grow up, I think the country where they live will messed up since it will be full of criminals.

Sometime it's better for the child to never know what gambling is, rather than knowing what is gambling with the risk involved with it.

What is young to you? 6 years old or 16 ? 6 yo kid is indeed vulnerable, immature and see world through pink glasses. 16 is mature enough. At that age young people now everything in theory already, but lack experience and practice. What wrong can happen if a kid knows what is gambling? What, his world will turn upside down and kid will think only about gambling? Knowing is always better than not knowing. Please dont stop about addiction. Person dont get addicted from looking and gambling. Something must happen to persons mind for him to become addicted.

P.S. Do you have kids?

That's not weird to see young people playing gambling because in my place, they playing gambling with their friends and even they have one place to gather and playing gambling together. They really vulnerable, immature and can gets addicted to gambling so that's why adult people or parents must supervise their children and educate about the risks of gambling so their children will not playing gambling.

Children will not knows what gambling so they can gets addicted to gambling, especially if their parents doesn't knows if they gambling. Although their children knows gambling from their friends, they will not trying to playing gambling because of the risks behind gambling. Parents must shows them that many good things that they can do so their focus will just do that good things without thinks about doing something that can harms their life.

In some ways adults also occupy lots of spaces amongst the list of addicts in the society. It's only tough for the younger people to escape gambling conversations, adverts, and news flying all around them. However, players also need to privatize their gambling activities both in words and action. Such things shouldn't be allowed around kids. The children are already prohibited from using such services. Hence, it's crucial that players also respect them and not lure kids into the game. When a person grows up and having seen the effects of gambling can go ahead to, decide and consider going into the game.

I think it can be done to prevent children from gambling, it's just a matter of awareness of the adults around them to talk about and even invite young people to play gambling, some neighborhoods can still be managed very well.

But the most difficult thing today is when the marketing of gambling advertisements is on social media, which children are already using social media today, even from starting junior high school or worse elementary school, parents must play a more active role in their children so that they do not fall into it prematurely, their age is still small and has no income and already entering gambling will be very bad for the development of the child, but on average what I see today is that parents let young people use their cellphones and never control them.
