Concerns grow over online gambling among teens

I blame smartphones for this, when desktop computers were the most common option used to connect to the internet, a parent could easily supervise what their kids were doing online and even apply filters for them so they could not access some content not appropriate for their age

Smartphones have advantages and disadvantages, and the advantage is just more than the disadvantage. As a parent, you can still monitor your children’s smartphones, but it doesn’t make sense to me, which most parents don’t really do. Don’t just think they are your children, they also have their private lives, which we are supposed to respect as parents. But we can also monitor them even without searching their phones, if they are carefully observed, then we should be able to know if they are gambling or not, but it might just take time, and we should study the kinds of friends our children are keeping, some of them are being influenced by friends.

It is often the friends that influence them. You couldn't;t just observe them from afar like they are talking in a certain room. When a kid reaches their teen stage, they push away their parents especially when they are with their friends. Teens would rather be riding a bike than riding in their pop's truck.

You just have to have a close relationship with your kids and you can simply talk easily so that they are not threatened like they are being watched. Somehow this is hard to do when you already burst.

If you are afraid to maybe quarrel with your teen, I think having a gambler's advice on your walls might work.
Probably print some of these Anti-Gambling quotes and put them on doors.

It is often the friends that influence them. You couldn't;t just observe them from afar like they are talking in a certain room. When a kid reaches their teen stage, they push away their parents especially when they are with their friends. Teens would rather be riding a bike than riding in their pop's truck.

This behavior depends solely on how their parents raise their kids.  I have seen kids so close with their parents, even telling their secrets and activities openly to them.  The problem here lies on the parents since most parents often  implement superiority over their kids and treat their kids with less respect.

You just have to have a close relationship with your kids and you can simply talk easily so that they are not threatened like they are being watched. Somehow this is hard to do when you already burst.

All it needs is respect and openness.  The parents make sure that they have trust in their kids and make them aware that they are responsible for anything they do while guiding them kindly.

Lol why quarrel with your kids?  A parent should be open-minded and kind but strict when needed be.  There is no need to have a quarrel with your kids, just a reminder and implementation of carrots and stick while explaining for such action can do.  If kids have respect for their parents, they will give value to whatever their parents remind them.

Parental guide is made available for parents to watch over the activities of their children and help in restricting the involvement of such children in some rated contents above their age. Kids and young people still find ways of bypassing such surveillance on them. Don't know how they do it, but kids always share information to other kids undergoing same troubles.

It is quite hard for the parents to monitor their kids 24/7, this is why it is best to mold children on their young age.  Waiting for kids to reach an old age before telling them the right and wrong maybe too late.  So as early as kid have consciousness parents should start feeding them good moral and right conduct.  Since kids when baby is like a blank slate, it would be easier for parents to mold their kids at its early age.

I don't see anything wrong in physically observing the devices of the children. Their parents bought it for them and they should be some restrictions added to it. This is for the safety of the child. He or she may think he's not allowed enough time to handle the cell phone, yet that doesn't mean the child would stay without opening their books and doing their home works. Devices can sidetrack such thoughts from getting into the head of children.

Same here, checking our kids belongings from time to time is a good way of monitoring them.  It would be better to find if our kids are into something not good in its earlier phase than knowing it at a later stage.  This way we can act accordingly and prevent them from committing a serious mistake that can ruin their life.

When it comes to preventing our kids in accessing online gambling, we can use applications and programs to block casino websites.  We can also check their gadget from time to time and if in case we found them guilty of accessing gambling sites, we can have a serious talk with our kids explaining about the negative effect of getting involve in a young age.  We should also make sure to tell them the possible consequences to the point of possible punishment if they don't heed our advice.  Parents should be open to the kids about the possible consequences if they become stubborn.

You buy your kid a phone, a tablet, whatever - you're the boss of that thing. You got a right, no, a duty, to see what they're doing on it. Its not about being Big Brother; its about protecting your investment. Your investment is your child. These kids are smart, I'll give them that. They're figuring out ways around the controls faster than you can say "App Store." But we can be smarter. We can talk to them. Explain why we're putting these limits in place. Its not to ruin their fun, its to keep them safe.

The internet, its a jungle out there. Filled with predators and bad influences. Our kids, they're not ready for all that. So, we gotta teach them. We gotta show them the difference between right and wrong online. Thats how you raise a smart, successful kid. One who knows how to make good decisions, on their own. Its not just about saying "no." Its about teaching them why "no" is sometimes the best answer. Thats the art of the deal, folks. And thats how you win at parenting.

I think the last paragraph of your statement really hits a point as you have clearly stated that it's actually not about saying no but explanation to why that kind of decision or choice is taken, well if am not familiar about anything am familiar with the fact that the human brains hardly processes the word NO it's just like building more curiousity on their mind.

Thank God people are starting to notice on stuff like this because this is a big deal, if children and/or teens are getting into gambling because they see it as normal, we'd be seeing an epidemic of future adult gamblers that are going to be addicted to gambling, I think that parents should be educated right now about this and that it's alright to be strict or heavy handed when it comes to gambling, we all know that it's going to be a bad time for them in the future so why not try to stop them now and tell them what they might end up in the future if they continue gambling, maybe having a monitor for your child's online activity might be the best option even though it violates their privacy.

If the teens are still under their parent's care, parents I think should have the right to know what their kids are doing online and on their phones. Whether privacy is an issue or not, my teenager will definitely be under martial law and I will check their apps and browsing history.

Teens are yet not fully aware of what they are doing just as Colby Cotrone said, they are fans of the sport but they are crossing the line already when they gamble. Government agencies may step in if it becomes an epidemic already. Australian government AFAIK is doing lots of things to prevent their citizen from gambling including banning ads everywhere.

Yeah.
I think these days technology is advanced more that other years back. So presently, all smartphones have a feature called parental guide, this feature helps parents to control their childrens phone 100%. This is a nice feature that helps all parents to protect their child from online gamble and other online activities that makes children and teenagers not concentrate on other important activities. A teenager who understands computers so well can easily clear up their browser history anytime they are done with what they are doing. A teenager who's engaging on gamble both online and offline line doesn't know the dangers in front. As a teenager, you don't work and unless the person is a street hustler, gamble is a thing that a matured minded person should do because there might be a loss that a teenager will have an will not be okay with it because he's not matured enough to handle gamble losses.

The best way to protect children from the bad influence of the Internet is to give them a level understanding of the good and bad of an activity, then continue by providing the impact it will have, and relevant examples to make it easier for them to understand it well. As a parent, you definitely understand the importance of choosing a good language for your own child, indeed this requires a long process.

Meanwhile, being too firm will make children avoid advice, while being too gentle will make them act as they please. As a parent, you must be good at positioning yourself, so that the function of supervising and providing understanding to them is achieved. Maybe this sounds trivial, but I don't think it's easy to balance it.

We cannot reject technological developments, by providing understanding regularly, in a gentle way, every child will definitely be able to take responsibility for their actions. Besides that, good advice will remain in their memories until they grow up. Another thing is, as parents should be a real example for them, you need to take care of your actions so that they don't contradict your words.

The first point is that parents must educate them about the dangers of gambling in their teens and the impact it has on those who will lose everything from educational knowledge and other things that are detrimental to themselves. This explanation must be explained firmly to children so that they must instill in themselves an attitude of vigilance and avoid gambling.

However, I am worried that when teenagers use gadgets nowadays, they can access whatever they want and there are lots of online advertisements about gambling, so parents must monitor browser access history by synchronizing the history to an email managed by parents.

I have a 10 year old kid. I tried doing this, no access to real youtube but Youtube Kids, the kid didn't enjoy using the phone I gave. TV with netflix and youtube is where where we watch together and after some time, the remote is now with him all the time. But I'm fine with it since I can see what he is watching. Its the laptop the he is using is something I can't monitor since its where he do his school work.

After spending some time with his cousins, he already learn lots of gambling terms. Hard monitoring when you spend less together. You prevented him from learning these stuff only to find out cousins are teaching him.

[Findingnemo]

You can call me regressive but I am against teaching kids things who are not really supposed to do because giving the information may tempt them to try it cause that's the age when we want to try anything that gives thrill but they are not really ready to consume such things but can touch the basics of addictions that cover the wide range including smoking,porn, alcohol and as well as gambling too other than that telling them you should not do might go the opposite way.

Gambling is a gateway to many other addictions and drugs and it’s hard to shield the kids from these days. The best way is to lead by example and if you’re teaching your kids to do these things well honestly I am not a fan of corrupting the youth lol

[Doan9269]

Things will definitely not go well when we have thew majority of the teens being involved in gambling, this is not what they should all focus on when there are other things to invest their time on, we can see the use of online gambling platforms as a way of having freedom gambling for everyone regardless of age, but we can discipline our children from a particular age they should be involved or exposed on something like this, gambling is for fun but money is also involved.

Well if that's the case, it would also help home when you also tell him the dangers that are involved in gamble. Teenager need to know that if an adult could become an addicted gambler then a teenager will also become addicted also. What I have seen so far from addiction gambler that are adult is that they takes loan so that they can gamble, but for a teenager who do t have anywhere to borrow, he or she will steal from their parents or from friends so that they could gamble. However, for a parent who doesn't stay close to his or her child all the time, the best time is to always advise the child and also give them what they want so that they too will avoid a lot of things, like gamble smoking and other things that they will not inherit any meaningful things from.

Teens gambling will make us lose scientist, engineers and other big career that are useful to the society. Teens are gambling as they want to make money quick to meet up with the lifestyle that the world is getting into making everybody to want to make money very quick. Teens gambling will make them not to be obedient to their parents as they are already having money from gambling and it will become a problem to the society.

Teens gambling increase the numbers of teens that are going to become an addict as there are always going to be more individuals losing and getting frustrated by all the lose that they're getting therefore start looking for alternatives things that they can use to make money and other illegal activities might become popular when gambling isn't working for them to make money. Teens just gambling gambling will make the society to be falling apart.

Its about teaching them why "no" is sometimes the best answer. Thats the art of the deal, folks. And thats how you win at parenting.

seeing what they do with the gadgets they have is of course one of the things that their parents definitely do, because we don't know what children do when they are not under the supervision of their parents, with the increasing development of technology it is not strange when there are Children who are smart in using gadgets so that sometimes they know more about current developments because they definitely have a great curiosity. But what you say is true, of course this is not done to cash in on their fun, but the aim is to look after them as well as their future, which of course no parent wants their child to grow up with serious problems.

Many children today are already proficient in the world of the internet, which is not surprising because as time goes by, more and more children will understand the internet well. There are so many young people who are addicted to gambling that they can gamble secretly outside the supervision of their parents and this is something some parents don't want to happen because gambling can be a reward for more than money.

It's all about parents taking the responsibility to look after their children and their activities so that they don't get involved in things they shouldn't get involved in. If children are gambling on their mobile phones and other electronic devices and parents don't even care, it's their fault and not the children's, if they keep an eye on their children when they are growing up, they won't end up becoming gambling addicts due to easy access of online gambling platforms.

So, what I think is that we are not in any trouble but it's just that parents these days are extremely careless and they don't look after their children very well. If they start doing their job in a good way, at least one of the two parents should, then their children would be doing what they are supposed to do.

Kids should not be let off that easy, after all it is their own life they are ruining, so just as they can use those devices to gamble at such an early age, they could also use them to make a quick internet search and see for themselves the effects gambling could have on their young and impressionable eyes, but they do not do it, so they share the responsibility even if their parents were careless, as they have a responsibility towards themselves to try to get the best outcomes they can get for their own sake.

Not everything should really be taking blamed of with into their parents on which we know that even how strict your parents is but you do have that easy access on things online which includes gambling
then it would really be that still be able for you to have such dealing which your parents couldnt really be able to know. This is why it would really be just that wrong on having that kind of blaming 100% on parents or guardians with this kind of aspect on which we know that this isnt something that could really be that controlled or something that could be stopped if these young minds would really be trying out to make those kind of engagement because it would really be just that depending into the actions and decisions that they would really be making and wont really be tending out tell anyone on what it is.

In todays era and technology on which it would really be that hard to filter out into those individuals who do make out some engagement on which it isnt really that just limited on gambling
alone but also in other things as well on which we know that it could neither give out that negative impact or situations or events into someones life if it wont really be able to
controlled or would really be able to moderate well.

mate, you definitely see kids at a high level

kids are immature and they don’t care about “ruining their life” all they want is to have fun and they have no sense of responsibility thus why a parent’s role into a kid’s growing years must not be taken lightly if a kid was taught at an early age the do’s and don’ts i am sure that kid will know how to resist the temptation of doing things that could potentially ruin their lives

Yeah.
I think these days technology is advanced more that other years back. So presently, all smartphones have a feature called parental guide, this feature helps parents to control their childrens phone 100%. This is a nice feature that helps all parents to protect their child from online gamble and other online activities that makes children and teenagers not concentrate on other important activities. A teenager who understands computers so well can easily clear up their browser history anytime they are done with what they are doing. A teenager who's engaging on gamble both online and offline line doesn't know the dangers in front. As a teenager, you don't work and unless the person is a street hustler, gamble is a thing that a matured minded person should do because there might be a loss that a teenager will have an will not be okay with it because he's not matured enough to handle gamble losses.

The first point is that parents must educate them about the dangers of gambling in their teens and the impact it has on those who will lose everything from educational knowledge and other things that are detrimental to themselves. This explanation must be explained firmly to children so that they must instill in themselves an attitude of vigilance and avoid gambling.

Educating them is not good enough, they will still become a victim of the sweet promises made by these influencers. Social media has been a medium to widespread gambling online exposures which also have a huge impact on young people to get involved. Their parents could help them but stopping them is quite a big challenge especially when their friends are already addicted to it.
For me, it is the social media platform to act firmly and regulate gambling posts.

However, I am worried that when teenagers use gadgets nowadays, they can access whatever they want and there are lots of online advertisements about gambling, so parents must monitor browser access history by synchronizing the history to an email managed by parents.

You said it right. All these things can't be resolved by their parents and in school programs. The government will also take action and these social media platforms help to guide viewers if possible. Importantly, casino owners must choose the right tool to advertise their products and services that won't harm young minds.

The problem with the government is that the gambling industry is becoming wealthier and powerful as well. And the government wants to make money out of them too which if the industry wants to government to make a law that will allow casinos to have apps and easy access by anyone, the government will just nod.

People are more concerned about their pronouns than the concern for the kid's environment these days. The gadgets will even have BTC-ready wallets soon, and it won't be long even our teens are going to adopt cryptocurrency.
