Concerns grow over online gambling among teens

[ethereumhunter]

We should not blame casinos on first place for growing number of teens who gamble. They only provide product to everyone, and it is parents responsibility, that their children are involved in gambling so much, and find it interesting than other activities. Instead of saying that casinos are bad, and due to them being so available for everyone, we should blame parents, who did not educate or gave enough explanation about gambling.

I agree with you said because without guidance and responsibility from parents, children can easily do whatever they wants including to try something that they don't knows if that can harm their life or gives a positive effects to them. If parents can guide besides them, children will knows what is good and bad for them and they will not trying to do a bad things because they knows the risks and the consequences for them.

We can teach them about responsibility and how to manage their time besides of other things such as discipline, self control and other so they will not have a trouble while they grow up. With having discipline, they also knows how to manage their time with many activities so they can do many good things in their life. If they see many good and positive activities, they will not trying to playing gambling even if that is a game for guess something because they knows they can often to play that.

Exactly, we should think in this direction, in the sense as you said by not blaming the casino, because after all there is no coercion or even threat from the casino for anyone to get involved in gambling, meaning this is a choice, everyone has the right to the thing of choosing whatever they want even though sometimes it doesn't make sense to make it a choice.

But yes, I also can't blame them - children who are still underage because after all they are still very unstable in thinking and also can't differentiate between things as a whole about what is good and what is bad unless the object is an adult, which means For this problem, as you said, the ones who are to blame are the parents who are negligent in looking after their children so that in the end they are exposed to gambling which has the potential to have a bad impact on a child's future.

They are regulated too. I believe they are also not allowed to accept bettors of all ages. This is hard to prove though unless the government will go over their database.
Parents can't just go over to their kid's phones or check them all the time just like those casinos who wouldn't be able to look into their user's details or whoever downloaded their apps.

There is the need for coordination of big techs and government I think for this case to really control those teenager going into gambling through their phones and computers which there may be the need for AIs as well.

KYC requirements have overcome the problem of gambling age restrictions although many customers debate KYC due to privacy concerns, I think establishing KYC for all gambling customers has provided the right solution to prevent youth gambling. Additional verification is required such as facial verification and other supporting evidence to ensure that gambling has complied with maximum regulations to protect customer data and restrictions on gamblers under +18 years of age.

However, the government must issue new regulations that regulate in more detail the age limit under +18, must provide education to parents and children to educate them about the dangers of gambling for children and must provide recovery steps for teenage gamblers to get out of gambling.

There's this nifty little thing called "child lock" on all of your ISPs which will give the parent access to ban certain sites from being accessed by all users within the network, of course including the kids. Maybe parents should try looking into that and actually using it instead of putting the blame on the internet and the people in it.

It's like letting your 5-year old toddler to walk dead middle in the street, and when he gets run over by a speeding truck you blame the driver, the road, the road signs, and the Lord. You're the problem, you're a parent and you're not doing parent things? Want me to call CPS?

The internet will never adjust for kids, nor should it do so, otherwise we'd get stuff literally watered down and the internet will not be used for anything worthwhile anymore. And while we can definitely create a segment of the internet that will be only accessible to kids, you could only imagine how fucked up that will be when predators get a hold of that.

Be at the forefront of taking care of your kids whether they are young or teens, especially when they are accessing the internet, it's that simple. There are a bunch of other ways you could do it, you just need to be more mindful.

but there are still many casinos that in my opinion do not provide this, with many people doing this online gambling because not all casinos provide these features or requirements so they can still gamble just by filling in general requirements such as name, email, cellphone number and telephone number. the bank. If all casinos provided these features or requirements, I don't think there would be many people gambling, apart from that, if we look at various countries, many minors are already gambling online and this is because access is easy and the requirements are not complicated.
parents will definitely do the best for their children, including by educating them properly and correctly, but it cannot be eliminated that social interactions outside the home can influence them, especially if they are easily carried away by the current then the education that parents have received can also be ignored, with There are many young people who are already gambling, it is unlikely that they will be able to leave, in fact I think even if their parents forbid them from gambling, it will not be able to make them stop completely because online gambling can be played secretly and of course that is a loophole for them to get involved. engage in gambling outside the supervision of their parents.

I understand that yes, as you say, casinos don't know the full details of the users or players who play on their sites, but on the other hand, honestly, I don't see any reason for parents not being able to check their children's cellphones because after all it's the parents. those in power or what this means is that they have the right to determine anything for their children as long as it leads to positive things, unless the parents are busy people who find it difficult to take even the slightest time to pay attention to their children, but if they have a lot of free time then there is no What's wrong with always checking your children's cellphones, because after all, the essence of this discussion is concerns regarding a child's exposure to gambling activities.

On the other hand, of course it would be best if the government were also involved in overcoming this problem because after all they are the ones who have the authority and power to create new regulations about what is permitted or what is prohibited. If the government can be involved in overcoming this problem then that's right. good, but that doesn't mean we just sit back and wait for the results from the government, because after all everything should start from ourselves, so there's no harm in taking or preparing all forms of prevention for the good of our own children.

That's also a good point. We learn all about financial management in school except managing gambling addiction, these students might just learn it easy when there are already addicts in school. They could have real testimonials from the addict themselves. 

It's not only in school that kids learn about financial management; I think most parents are so practical about educating their children about financial management that they do it better. I would not say I learned that from school, but it was primarily from my parents; they made me understand the basic need for money, how to earn it, how to multiply it, and how to spend wisely, mostly on things that matter.

Even before I was convinced to start gambling, I already made a decision within myself that I would not see gambling as a real source of wealth because I knew it also had the ability to make someone poor. But at some point, I just began to have some thoughts in my head about being lucky enough to win a huge amount from gambling and use the money to establish myself, but I didn't see such a chance coming, so I had to remind myself of the morals I had learned from my parents. 

[Accardo]

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.

"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. "

It's not a small problem as it sounds, first it starts with the advertisement by most of our gambling companies that are using every media platform available to them such that no one is spared to give gambling a try... Radio stations, TV, ad's on social media , billboards, major sports game's I mean even with the best gambling education I don't see this helping but it worth a shot giving the pros and cons of gambling at a tender age that should give the youngsters a balanced argument.. though we shall have those that try it out and win big and when they share this news with their friends it will spread like wildfire and all kids will want to try to gamble!!

Otherwise stopping teen gambling should start from their homes, but unfortunately if their role models that being Dad or Mom do gamble...then it's difficult to escape their destiny but either way it should be a collective effort.

I still maintain my point that, the casino has a very huge role to play in the regulation of underaged gambling and that’s if they will be very sincere with their KYC terms and policies.

Most casinos avoid KYC not because they want to attract kids to their sites but to allow gamblers to gamble with privacy. KYC is often disliked by the ones who prioritize privacy and that's why some casinos allow everyone to gamble without asking for any KYC details.

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.

The only thing that can make casino and gambling companies to be strict on your young people is if the government can be involved in it then I believe for young people to get access in gambling will be difficult.

I’m not trying to dispute your points but I also want you guys to realize that the government are already winning the fight against unregistered casinos and that’s because for a casino to operate in a particular country now, there might be some legal processes and undertakings they must take which also includes payment of tax and this is to say that, the casinos aren’t actually strict with their KYC and since the major reason for KYC is to fight against money laundering and financial crimes through the casino and I don’t think a regular gambler shouldn’t be scared of KYC in this context because I’m sure if they’re sticker at withdrawals l, then even those who claim don’t like giving out KYC will be forced to do KYC because they want to get their winnings which is a sign that KYC isn’t the issue but the sincerity in implementing the KYC is the issue.

And it's not bad, the bad thing is that teenagers can enter these sites, a teenager cannot enter a casino, it is an adult who must do so, I'm not saying that the teenager should make one or Another Movement in the casino next to his or her father or mother in the account of one of them, but the teenager cannot have control, so basically a casino or casinos cannot concentrate on that type of things, the problem comes from home , due to the lack of a Father and a Mother who are constantly Supervising what their children do, there is a parental control that they have on Google , Which does not allow you to see messages or calls from them, but it does allow you to Block certain URLs, sites that are of this style, there only with that they can put it on their devices to Control them and I think that the whole Problem is Based on the lack of guidance from parents.

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.

We only blame gambling and casinos for destroying the youth but we are also largely to blame for destroying our youth. Basically we have to blame our little boys and girls for misusing technology. Allowing young children to use mobile phones is believed to be the main reason behind the destruction of youth. If young children use mobile phones instead of studying, they will surely spend most of their career time looking at mobile phones, so they cannot spend enough time studying, this is basically identified as one of the reasons behind career destruction. Moreover, a child can master many things even after seeing many bad habits of parents.  So parents have to be very aware so that little boys and girls do not become bad by seeing their own bad habits.  It is believed that if we do not allow the use of mobile phones and the wrong use of technology, our youth society will be on the right path.

That is a catastrophe just waiting to strike. And this disaster begins right at home Parents, its time for you to step forward. Im talking about mentoring and leading your children. Indeed, URL filters are excellent tools; nevertheless, there is more. We gotta get real about whats happening here. Children of today want excitement and want to challenge limits. That is understandable. They wind up in the wrong areas, though, when they lack clear direction at home. Im not here to point fingers. Im here to say we need to do better. We ought to help one another and figure out what drives these youngsters. Talk to your children, provide explicit limits, show them that life offers more than just online thrills.

Handing out a smartphone to a child can be likened to giving him a gram of cocaine said Jean Twenge an addiction expert in the UK. Depression never spiked to its present stage before smartphones got saturated in the market. Kids were better off playing with friends physically or facially than spending time chatting on screens. Moreover, social media has increased sleeplessness on young people, and made them unprepared for adulthood. Using smartphones for educational purpose is a concrete reason why parents purchase phones for kids as early as at age 12.

Unfortunately, tech addiction isn't good for young, growing teenagers, compared to adults who can easily control what they see on social platforms. Imagining how gambling ads are infinitely distributed across multiple popular online platforms, a good number of kids would stumble on such adverts once or twice in a day. In such situations, they're likely to forgo their educational research for gambling thoughts which is quite an early stage to get exposed to depressing activities like gambling.

You're telling me our portable screens are the devil's instruments, corrupting our kids? I'm not convinced. They may disrupt sleep, but they also link us like never before. Has a kid learned about a culture halfway around the world on their phone? Man, that's powerful. Gambling is a sensitive topic. These youngsters will see these advertising regardless of what we do. Why not explain it instead than hiding it? Explain the odds, risks, and everything. Maybe then it won't appear so strange and tempting

What's your sole aim of elevating an instrument or tool which disrupts a child's sleeping habit. Do you know the level of negativity lack of sleeping hours causes a child? Why not sideline the generous learning capability offered by these gadgets, which kids don't care about, and focus on humanity; love, care and kindness, powerful characteristics leaving this surface at a speed of 300km/h. Depression, sadness and failure in academic context is replacing the serenity once enjoyed in homes, where siblings gathered with friends to play and have fun. It links us, yes, does it equate feeling the presence of a friend? Lack of sleep increases depression and dwindles the mental strength of a child. How then do you expect such a kid to learn your gambling odds tutorial?
