Concerns grow over online gambling among teens

[Su-asa]

When it comes to blocking access then it could do but we do know that kids these days are really that wise on how to make use and find out other ways or methods on which on the moment that they do find out or being curious on a certain things then they would really be that definitely finding on how to do it.Its not always for guardian or parents would be taking up the blame because no matter how you do guide them but on the time that curiosity kicks in plus the technologies that we do have today, then it is really that hard to stop it Parental guidance or handling is crucial and as a parent then it's our responsibility to have this thing specially on raising up our kids on which it would really be that relevant and recommended.You can't really be so sure that they would avoid on things but at least we've done our part as a parent.

You're right, sometimes as parents we forget what it's like to be children and we start to act like these, but deep down it's to protect them, only now teenagers, children, have a very high IQ, they find a solution to everything, sometimes parenting is very hard, I still think that the best thing is to make friends with our children, and whoever achieves this is something I admire, for me the danger does not lie in a teenager spending a lot of money, the danger is in getting sick people who threaten them and make them do crazy things, that for me is the most dangerous and precise thing, that is what one tries to protect them.

As long as children are growing they develop more knowledge because they are becoming leaned in the society. So it's not bad for them to figure out the solution of any changes they have. However on one side the parents should be proud that the child is learning fast but most importantly the children should also know that the parents are trying to protect them from gamble harms. As a child no matter the kind of IQ you have you can't be smarter than your parents because they have more experience than you, it's just that as a child is growing the parents are becoming old.

I really feel this concern, even though I am still single and don't have a family, but by looking at developments in the digital era like now we can see that most people, including children who are still teenagers or even underage, prefer to spend most of their time playing on smartphones, where most of them like to watch videos on one of the internet media channels when they have finished all their daily tasks such as school.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, the worry is that now there are so many online-based casinos and we can find them on several social media that we often visit, because casinos use social media as one of the biggest media for promotions because they know that many people prefer it. spends most of his time playing on the internet. Therefore, of course this issue should be of concern to most parents. I hope parents can pay more attention to their children and also limit their children's use of smartphones as a precaution.

[bangjoe]

Yes, it should be, we should not only focus on the restrictions that we do to our children, it is a little impactful action because it is easy for children to trick their parents in various ways, giving understanding is also an obligation of parents and it really has to educate them.

I think that is the most basic thing to give to children before monitoring and limiting to see that children ignore what their parents say or not, or obey their parents or not.

Helicopter parenting isn't that effective in grooming a quality behavior for a child. But, clipping a child's wing on gambling is beneficial for his future. Allowing children to take responsibility builds their self esteem and bonds them together with parents. Excessively restricting kids don't contribute in maximizing truth in the life of children. Insofar parenting is a complete task everyone begins as an amateur.

Mistakes are expected, but consistently trying effective grooming techniques quickly advances a parent's knowledge on ways to treat children and enhance their ability to communicate easily to one another whatever troubles them. Recently was reading a site that encouraged parents to say to their kids “I Love You" multiple times a day. Never knew of this, but it helps them feel loved. Reading about parenting is the fastest path to becoming a great parent.

Yes maybe it is quite helpful for the child to grow well, I will not comment much on it because we have many ways to teach good things for the child's future to suit what is good for your child and parents.

The most important thing is that control and limits are mandatory to avoid gambling, because today it is a common concern that children cannot be responsible for entering the gambling world which is very bad if they have a stupid gambler character and are not ready for the consequences if what they receive is bad from gambling.

There is no doubt about that, it's just that sometimes as parents one sometimes doesn't know what solution to give, sometimes one has to give solutions when one doesn't even know what to do, and personally I believe that children today as well as teenagers are very advanced for these times, however it is always good to get peace of mind and true wisdom to be able to lead them on the right path, making them aware of the dangers and temptations that they can find in games of chance, casinos, as well as other games that they can encounter, honestly raising children is not at all easy.

Today's teenagers are more advanced than their parents and it is becoming difficult for their parents to control them. Today's teenagers are gaining more experience than their parents especially due to the advanced development of technology, thus parents of today's age are struggling to control their teenagers. Moreover, most of the teenagers are using mobile phones, so any advanced subject is learned by the children before the parents. It will not be possible to stop the use of mobile phones from the teenagers because it is going out of control to prevent them from gambling.

That's right what you said because teenagers can gets the knowledge from many places and many ways including from their friends. Parents can't always guide them so parents must realizes and keeps trying to closer to their children so they can know what their children do. Parents also needs to learn more about the technology so they can know what their children will do and parents can follow without doing something that can makes their relationship with their children will become bad.

Teenagers gets what they wants from their mobile phones without taking too long so they can gets more knowledge that can gives bad or good for them. That will depends on them how they want to use that knowledge and if their parents doesn't give a right guidance while they are young, they can pick a wrong way that can harm them.

Learning this would be faster if parents exhausted quality time with kids. Sharing in the process, tips and methods to deal with self control and lift in them the need to be responsible. Kids can't gamble, but, intentionally, parents can begin to groom their ability towards essential needs in gambling, applicable in all walks of life. Effective trainings as this prepares a child to withstand all sort of irresponsible gambling challenge if he becomes a player in the nearest future. Achieving this across millions of homes increasingly gets complex due unstable timing of parents. Which permits casinos, through ads, to continue winning more premature minds into the niche

"It's time for schools to focus on the root cause of online teen gambling by implementing gambling prevention education in all high schools. 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. "

Drinking, smoking and vaping.
Well, these are the habits that somehow grace the environment of a physical casino or sport betting arena. Eventually, it’s become real associated with gambling but, these are activities you find more in clubs. I wonder though, what’s the curriculum on gambling going to look like?
Are they going to have the habits as some subtopic to develop on under gambling or it’s just going to surface under consequences?

Teenage gambling is something I’m so pissed about haven’t seen a few first hand and the resentment I express towards it but, I don’t think it deserves a page in the curriculum. Perhaps it could be taught under some addictive habits that could be impacting but, gambling can actually go without alcohol and the vices that it’s been linked with.

Just as well as, ragge music can go without weed. There is a natural association of ragge music to weed but, it ain’t so, its love and oneness.

Learning this would be faster if parents exhausted quality time with kids.

That’s the problem. Parents aren’t being much responsible these days and when you find your child getting out of a path set for them, they just look out on whom or where to place the blame and gambling has been the victim on several occasions.

It will indeed be very difficult if as parents do not have much time to accompany children, where maybe we only provide intake to children during holidays and even then it is rarely done because if both parents are tired of working and do not have much time to teach their children.

instilling the nature of responsibility and so on is quite difficult and requires time from stage to stage to be embedded in the child's personality, yes we know that gambling advertisements are very massive in various social media and it is a vulnerability for a child to be able to touch gambling faster than teaching the principles of life from his parents.

You are correct, most gamblers don't feel satisfied giving their details out, they feel it is not safe for them. I think if casinos takes kyc very strict many gamblers may lost interest to gamble with casino which they wouldn't feel okay giving identification out. Gambling companies feels Gambling being private will be better for customers. The truth is that even if casinos begins kyc underage people will still look for a way to gamble.  Kyc doesn't mean there won't be any way or any form of gamble for underage people to participate in gambling.

Strictness in KYC can limit underage gambling for a while before they get very creative and find ways to bypass the checks either with identity cards of their parents/ guardians or most likely carefree grannies. Technology is getting mad and these dudes are getting smarter. for me the only way to checkmate teenage gambling seriously is to enlighten parents to install, activate and intensify on parental control features in teenagers' gadgets, that way they are updated with their activities and can provide that level of guidance locally.

I am  one person who detests giving out my details and I surely prefer maintaining anonymity in my gambling activities.

Teen gambling is getting very broad and it needs to be taught on its own because the numbers are increasing every day and if it does not get treated with urgency, we might lose all our teens to addiction and it does not stop there because gambling addiction is a tool to other addiction. Teenagers are spending too many hours online and this is a cause for concern. We do not have many productive youths anymore as they are busy gambling trying to make money to live lavishly or selling their body online for clicks. While this is seen as normal for some countries, it is impacting other countries that use to have morals and lived a God fearing life. Most casino do not care about addictions because they are getting profits from their customers that are addicted but all casino should do things to help this problem. More restrictions should be introduced on casino platform to avoid underage gambling to happen.

The gambling industry is growing into more a trillion dollar industry and there are more people who are gambling now than ever before and it is increasing

while gambling industry is getting more efficient or more population than before is due to awareness and secondly the use of internet, when looking at the basic ways of gambling you can openly see that gambling is something that the traffic is getting increase almost every day, and the essence of it is due to most of gambling is done with digital way or measure, so it's obvious that in the next five years coming the traffic of gambling will marvel people, because as it stands now its obvious that many young adults like to relax with gambling and most times a discussion of some of them do go directly to gambling.

This is true. Teenagers are getting smarter due to technological developments and can also become increasingly out of control with negative things due to technological developments, while parents find it difficult to monitor these developments because every child has a cellphone, quite a few parents do not understand how to access cellphones properly. So, to prevent gambling in teenagers other than parents, there must be intervention from government regulations, for example there must be no promotion of gambling on television or social media so that it can control teenagers who fall into gambling.

It must be acknowledged that with today's technology, it is very difficult to stop teenagers from getting involved in gambling, however with more education about gambling this can also help them, at least if they gamble they can gamble responsibly. In my country gambling is illegal but there are still many teenagers who are trapped in gambling, especially in countries where gambling is legal, of course teenagers are very easy to fall into gambling. So parental supervision is very important and of course the government also needs to make regulations and improve education about gambling.

Now we no longer need to go to a physical casino - we just need to install the application and launch it, and the whole world of gambling entertainment is in our pocket.

You are right and precisely that is what makes parenting more difficult, because they tend to learn anything very quickly, if you are more skilled with Technology you will always have an advantage over others, and as parents we have to be so skillful, always think badly but at the same time have the necessary Understanding to understand the stage they are going through, sometimes the fact that they discover games and play is not so much that can be bad for them , the bad thing is that they enter Forbidden places, where they learn things and some take them down the wrong path just because they are people who are somewhat irreverent and have the world at their feet where they want to do things as they dream, but I say it is not easy at All.

Indeed, online gambling has a very high and fast increase in this digital era, especially when slot gambling appears where they only need to make a deposit and then they can bet easily and quickly. It is different with crypto gambling, because maybe they also have to understand about crypto itself before starting, and it will make it difficult for ordinary people to understand. Because after all, they just want to do gambling quickly to get fun easily.

But indeed, it may not be a problem that this gambling growth is increasing in a country that basically legalizes gambling. But anyway, the increase that is happening is in a country that basically does not legalize gambling but strangely, they can still do it easily and safely there.

Well, I think you meant to say that online gambling is growing at a tremendous pace, rather than the gambling industry which consists of both online and offline/physical gambling, and if anything is sure at the moment, it's the fact that offline/physical gambling is gradually fading away and it's counterpart which is online gambling is gradually taking over.

And we all should know, every good thing comes at a price, most especially when it has to do with technology, anything technology brings something new that saves people time, money, and at most, makes doing that thing way easier than the traditional way, such never comes for free, it comes at a price. And the price that online gambling have come with is the fact that both underaged teenagers are now gambling anonymously, and this is dangerous to our society to be honest.

Well advancement is actually not on the teenagers but at a global level as whole because the world itself is the one that have actually advanced to the stage that it's even possible for a child to not be or go to school and still get the basic and proper knowledge of things that he would have been taught there because technology has advanced so greatly but the thing about good inventions also is that there is always an equal opposite side as same as the positive.

But the problem is that the initiative to learn in children or adolescents is lacking so it will be very difficult if not guided properly, yes we know that any knowledge we can get easily in this fast internet era but the problem is how they use the internet itself.

Teenagers are more susceptible to anything that is enjoyable such as gambling and because of that they are also very worried about getting into gambling because having a bad gambler mentality before they can mature will be very difficult for him in adulthood, and that is what is very worried about a teenager or child who already understands internet technology, they don't read the bad effects and good effects usually and they only access what makes them happy they will do it happily, besides gambling also another example is playing video games is also included in one that must be worried about today's teenagers apart from gambling.

[Doan9269]

Gambling is what it has turned to now because of it availability online for everyone to have access on it, gone are the days we must have to visit the casino house before we could enjoy gambling, but now, the comfort is there and the free access is also made available for everyone to use the online platforms of the gambling sites to gamble, which all these make it difficult to separate or differentiate teens from having use of these platforms for gambling.
