Concerns grow over online gambling among teens

[nara1892]

Since the gambling industry became accessible through online many persons below the age of 18 has jumped into gambling. It is something that is worth given concern because these individuals are not prepared to take responsibility of their action. The painful part is that there is a low probability to stop them since one cannot k now the exact age when they come into the gambling platform. The concerns grow everyday not only in the gambling industry but also in other sectors. For example, the porn site, a lot of teens are accessing it when they're not up to the age to do that.

Minors have a high tendency to indulge in gambling. As the gambling industry grows, in the same way the number of minors gamblers also increasing. Now this situation is almost out of control. Controlling it is also not an easy task. But if the casino sites make it mandatory to verify the KYC of each of their users, then minors can be brought back from this situation. But casino establishments never give importance to such restrictions. There are some institutions they require KYC from their clients but if one wants they can conduct their gambling without KYC. But if all the sites here follow the same rules then the users will be forced to do KYC and it is possible to control minors from such activities.

Yes, especially after gambling entered the internet media, which is a fact that most people now, especially the younger generation, are more comfortable spending most of their time playing on the internet or operating various social media, which is the biggest place for several online casinos to carry out promotions, and Of course, this means that the possibility of involvement of someone, including a minor, is greater.

On the other hand, yes, I understand that when a casino implements KYC on its site, maybe the younger generation or children who are still underage can avoid the possibility of being affected by gambling, but so far I see that it is quite

implement a KYC system for each new member so clearly this situation makes it easier for anyone, especially minors, to get involved and gamble, on the other hand I think it is quite reasonable for casinos to eliminate or not implement a KYC system on their sites because as we know that is the aim The main thing is to look for more profits and if more people are involved then it means the possibility of their profits will definitely be greater.

I'd rather them deal with more substance abuse prevention in schools rather than gambling prevention.  I don't know maybe it's me but gambling seems like a singular sport where as drug use starts out as more a group thing which would make sense to talk about it in school.  Not that gbling addiction isn't bad but of the 2 substance abuse needs to be knocked out.

In try of teens getting hooked I don't know if there is anything that can be done unless they banned the mass marketing of it like draft kings on pro sports advertisements.  Things like that

If we do try to compare on how informations been passed through neither person to person or other means then we cant really be able to deny that in todays years or generation on which technology is really that getting advanced on where information and other things could really be seen online as long you do have that mobile phone then you could really be that able to make yourself be wary on what are the things that happening around in speaking about information and other happenings which been shared up through online. We do know that companies do really make use of social media and video streamings when it comes on offering their services and products on which you would really be having that kind of exposure if you would really be hovering yourself with your phone.

Nowadays on which even our children have their own devices too on which this do simply means that they are really that susceptible into that possible exposure with those gambling sites online or
any other correlated things which is connecting to gambling. It could really influence them once that curiosity would be kicking in. It would really be just that depending on how you do raise up your kids
because if you do make out that proper explaination and education towards it then they would really be naturally be avoiding it without telling them and this is the beauty if
you are a parent who do really knows on how to handle your family and teaching them the right ways or methods.

[Yamifoud]

I half agree with this because I don't really know if it will be good for the kids or not.
The same problem with teaching sex education. I don't know if that is a good thing too or not. Simply because I think kids will learn that normally and not by anyone trying to educate them. Gambling on the other hand is a bit different. If we are already making them aware of it, then it can be a problem soon.
I mean, I would not teach my children about it, as much as possible, I want them to be innocent about it when they grow up so that they won't even try it.
Giving them the idea could be the worst thing we will do or it could be good. I think it's still if they will remain clueless about it. But once they bump into it, I'd be ready to give some advise.

I disagree with you at some point, growing up as a kid there are time I'll want to go astray and join other kids to misbehave but when I remember the kind of family am from, I'll take corrections immediately what I'm trying to say is that there are some core values you'll inculcate in your children and they'll always take corrections and won't be carried away by peer pressure.

 I still insist that parents have the major role to play in bringing up their kids, kids are like plants if you train them well they'll grow to flourish but when it goes the other way they'll get spoilt, so teaching your kids and letting them know the consequences of doing wrong is very important, if you don't do that other kids would help you spoil them and mislead them to wrong acts.

The future of the kids and their behavior depends on the upbringing of the parents. That is why parents should have to play as a role model for their kids and must correct the wrongdoings of their child before it get worse. While schools are dedicated to educating students, it is the part of their parents as well to have some follow-up because not all things that are taught in school are enough to educate young minds, which also needs the guidance of the parents. With this growing involvement of teens in gambling, parents have a big responsibility to stop it, not only the school.

[348Judah]

With the way of the use of internet to gamble and how the young teenagers now have access to use a platform and gamble, this freedom they have should serve as an opportunity and not for them to abuse such because being at teenage stage, they are not yet fully independent and must still be under a guardian, which means, they are limited to doing some certain things, many could kicked against teenage gambling because they believe that early exposure sometimes brings about addiction.

Yes you have said the exact truth because drug use is so terrible for children and teenagers that it destroys the future life of a teenager by turning it into darkness. Rather than gambling, stricter laws should be made to ban the use of drugs by school-college children and teaching them about the dangers of drugs should be included in the syllabus and it should be made mandatory starting from the school level only.
I won't directly say that gambling is bad but there should be legislation to include age based gambling. In particular, school and college level children below 18 years of age should not be allowed to participate in gambling. Again warnings should be given in guardian quarters where guardians can keep children away from gambling and be aware of drug use.

Damn so this already spread everywhere I think this only happens in my country since I know it by myself here in my village there is a lot teen play gamble start from the middle school it like 13 years old frennn what a crazy right and the news is all over the place and mostly they play slot deposit and withdraw here is so simple you can top up using app called DANA via  minimart.

People are concerned this gonna blow out and the government start to notice it and keep blocking out gambling site since here gamble is also illegal

[lizarder]

Having both gambling education from school and from parents will be better, at least if the students do not really get the lesson at school then they may get it from their parents and vice versa.
In these modern era, we cant say that parents have more time to educate their children because of many things.
When the parents are so busy with their work then they will have less time to talk with their children, on the other side, children are now also having their own activities outside school.
I will be agreeing if there is a special gambling education and/or other education about morality because for me school is not only place to learn about  science, math, language, etc but it should be a place to learn how to be good person as well. 

No matter how busy parents are with the work of educating their children is a priority, it is an obligation and this must be done to respond to and understand the child's maturity process. If parents are unable to provide education then don't blame the child if in the process of adolescence they experience a much worse life. Schools are very limited in providing education while parents have more time so parental control is really needed.

Many children go the wrong way because their parents don't care about the children and they prioritize work over the children, so that when the children grow up they will go the wrong way. Don't ignore children no matter how busy we are, because we will regret it if they grow up in the wrong environment.

With this growing involvement of teens in gambling, parents have a big responsibility to stop it, not only the school.

I think it is a fact that schools only provide insight and knowledge about the various lessons that a child must learn and of course this is only to increase their knowledge of everything they don't know, but obviously for behavioral problems and habits it all goes back to the parents who have full responsibility for educating a child to have a good attitude and behavior. and also in my opinion for the problem of keeping a child from falling into various negative things then obviously it is the full responsibility of the parents and not the school, because the school only provides lessons to increase the knowledge of a child but they will not be too much, and also in my opinion for the problem of keeping a child from falling into various things that smell negative then obviously it is the full responsibility of parents and not schools, because schools only provide lessons to increase a child's knowledge but they will not care too much about what the future of a child will be like.

As you said that not everything taught by the school is enough to educate a child as a whole, meaning that the school only gives a few lessons to a child but the rest is the business of parents who must educate their children in all respects, especially in terms of behavior, because after all only parents have full responsibility for their children, meaning that parents should also create various actions to prevent a child from falling into gambling.

Health class curricula across the nation cover the typical risks for teens such as smoking, drinking, vaping, etc yet gambling education is nowhere to be found in our schools. "

Did that really change anything? Do you think that teens don't smoke, drink or vape despite all the negative side effects that they are lectured about? They do and that's because if you do something like that, you are considered as one of the coolest person anywhere you go and everyone wants to hang out with you. Actors, singers, some athletes and many influencers promote that culture.

And would you agree with him in implementing gambling prevention education in schools?

That does nothing but if parents take care of their children and become their friends and supporters, teach them and explain what's good and bad and how it will end up if they follow that path, then we will definitely have a very positive outcome out of this. Schools aren't gonna happen in this thing, parents have responsibilities too and there are things that you have to learn in your family and that's ethics, culture, manners and respect.

You just said the teens will do it because they think they'd be cool to their friends. Who do you think they listen the most while they are still teens, their parents or their friends or the school?

Because in some cases teens who do all of those vices change after they get older, some friends get married and work at their father's business, some become successful working in the city. They mature eventually and stop the nonsense. Those who got deeper got worse though. I must depend and who they listen.

Teenagers who already use gadgets and are connected to the internet make it easy for them to access anything on the internet, gambling is no exception, almost all young people have cellphones and can access anything they can access including gambling sites, sadly even minors can do it without the supervision of their parents and mentors at school.

The ease of depositing is something that is very dangerous for today's teenagers who access gambling, what I fear is that many young people lose themselves and play gambling irregularly so that they lose their minds and even worse are addicted and that can be created until they grow up which will have an impact on the growth of character as an irresponsible gambler, I am also Indonesian and in my village there are also many like that, there are even some who skip school and prefer to do gambling all day, and yes our government blocks many gambling sites because it is very dangerous for our country's generation, but in fact the government cannot block all gambling sites and there are still some that operate very freely and even advertise on social media without being banned.
In our country gambling is not only illegal; it is strictly prohibited.

Kids listen to their so called cool friends, they don't listen to their parents. In fact, kids hate to listen to their parents and many of them intentionally do opposite of what would please their parents. 14 years old kids smoke cigarettes man, they drink and take different drugs, they gamble, they do everything bad because for some strange reasons, it means that you are cool and kids want to be cool, they want to gain attention and respect from their inner circle.

As they grow, they mature but the problem is that many of them are sometimes left with anxiety, depression, addiction and so on. Today you are a cool guy if you are on Prozac. The world has gone crazy. The maturity situation is getting worse in kids who turned adults recently.

That's what happens in most cases. I had the same idea back in the day to impress classmates thinking I would be cool in smoking cigarettes but I'm sure I snap and rebel seeing I have been to the principal's office countless times.
 
Growing older and coming to realize the world doesn't work the way they thought, maturity comes and discussions with friends are not about music bands anymore but how to make money or find a job. They will still come back to the old gambling ways but they will not get addicted anymore.

Well said,  that was your decision as of then, of which you were acting based on peer pressure just to impress your friends. Generalization of kids is not proper, parents still have role to play, and limit kids to social media influence, monitoring there activities, set parental guidance controls. Instilling in them the possible dangers instead of neglecting them.

One thing for sure, everyone of them will learn overtime for now curiosity is pushing them.

It's called peer pressures, some are bullies, or if you wanted to join the group, then you have to also do what they did so gambling could be part of that group. And not only gambling though, it could also be one of the so called coolest things, which is to smoke.

World is evolving and there are societies right now that the influence of parents is very small unlike before wherein before you can even drink alcohol, or go to a party, you need your parents consent first.

World really has gone crazy indeed. These teenagers are being influenced by their peers hence, they are making some things that aren't good for themselves and even worse, these things might lead them to anxiety which will turn out to be depression that might cause to death. I hope that nobody here will have a child that will experience those kind of things.

Nevertheless, their definition of "COOL" seems to be wrong. If they smoke cigarettes or worse, weed, if they drink alcohol until get drunk, if they have large amounts of money, if they are wearing these expensive clothing, they find themselves as "COOL" already. TBH, this is getting worse that the age of kids who are doing these kinds of things are getting younger and younger. Heck, I've also seen kids here in our community that are gambling already (both physical and online), and the range of their ages are between 13-16. I asked them if where they are getting those money and it's from their parents. World really is getting worse, and worse and like you said, it's going crazy.

Well, I also agree with the fact that as they grow older, they might realize any time on their lives that what they did was wrong hence, they will stop it, and change themselves. As they mature, they will realize that what they did was wrong and they will change it.

Online gambling is a growing problem due to its 24/7 availability and among young people it could not be less.

What I wonder is where they can get money to gamble, because their parents' paychecks won't last long. Apart from the fact that to play in regulated sites you have to prove that you are of age, and if they are sites without kyc as for example crypto sites previously have to convert fiat to crypto. I do not doubt that they will find ways to do it but they have neither the same ease nor the same risk of squandering a fortune as an adult.

Damn so this already spread everywhere I think this only happens in my country since I know it by myself here in my village there is a lot teen play gamble start from the middle school it like 13 years old frennn what a crazy right and the news is all over the place and mostly they play slot deposit and withdraw here is so simple you can top up using app called DANA via  minimart.

And what money do they bet with? When I was 13 years old I think they would give me the equivalent of 10 or 20 bucks a week and if I spent it gambling I wouldn't have enough to buy sodas or whatever.

We never knows what they will do if they don't have money. Maybe they will asks their parents to gives more money and they can use many reasons that makes sense so their parents will gives that money. They can lie easily to their parents and if their parents doesn't check the used of the money, their parents will not knows and still gives that money to their children. It seems their children is smart enough to avoids something that can makes them in trouble and if they knows about KYC, they will avoids it and will use crypto site that doesn't have strict KYC. Their knowledge maybe better than their parents as I see many children can use the internet better than adult people. They will knows how to solve their problem because their knowledge helps them to find a way to do that. It needs parents supervision to their children if parents doesn't wants to see their children use the wrong way.

It's called peer pressures, some are bullies, or if you wanted to join the group, then you have to also do what they did so gambling could be part of that group. And not only gambling though, it could also be one of the so called coolest things, which is to smoke.

Well that's bad per pressure is the number one enemy of teens since they fell bad in this especially if they are catching the attention if people around him. Maybe if we notice one of our family member showing some sign that they are into a lot of stress recently due to the activities they do then better we should spend some time to discuss their issue since this possible problem need to be discuss so everything will be corrected and they can avoid those people putting them into bad situation.

Those people are bad influence to them or maybe to other people to and maybe this indicates that how bad the gambling issues in their places so I guess its good to open up some discussion and try to make it viral to see if government will take action regarding on this gambling issues what young teens facing in their daily life.
