Teenage exposure to gambling

Teenage gambling exposure

Just like the subject says; it’s more about exposure of them kids and children to gambling.
I. Some society gambling isn’t seen as a menace, something that ought not to be and they look towards getting it out due to the fact that, it could easily be addictive. The later I agree to, the possibility of building addiction but, as a menace, sure not

This is why gambling is reserved for the matured minds and those that have got a lot of self control about gambling. Society has tried to build this about an age grade limitation which differs based on certain nations. Where am from, that age limit is pegged at 18years of age. You’re automatically regarded as an adult but are you really? Well, I guess we don’t have kids here.

Meanwhile, speaking of exposure; it talks about the various windows by which, gambling is been exposed yo our wards, even as a child in the society. Something I’ve seen and frowned at some many times is how you find some grown folks, adults having to predict games, get the codes on a shit of paper and hand it to these kids to go and have it loaded and played on the systems over there in a gambling house. This is always a terrible sight for me and so unacceptable. Even with the signs saying, under 18years of age isn’t allowed
Now, they typically might not be the once making these predictions or taking the bets but, they are sure getting that exposure of how it’s done, what goes on in there and getting some comfi in that environment. It eases their decision to choose to gamble just when they hit the right age.

Another means to exposure is by the broadcast on the TV but, you and I knows that, we can’t so much control that as, it’s just pops up and in seconds it’s all done. However, for that which we can’t control, what measures are we taking to ensure these kids are given limited exposures. What are those steps that could be put in place to not only persuade the parents, guidance and the gambling house from allowing these things to keep happening in our society. Letting these things slide by is misleading for the leaders of our tomorrow.

Just what can be done to ensure limited exposure of this kind?

In some ways it's probably advisable to introduce a teenager to very limited forms of gambling in a setting with responsible adults that they trust, as long as the remote odds of winning are explained well to them. It can be a much harsher reality for them to discover the pitfalls themselves and possibly dive in too deeply too quickly if they go alone or under peer pressure. However these days with all the loot boxes and skin gambling going on with so many games, it'd be amazing if they hadn't already worked out these sort of mathematics by themselves.

The thing with age verification, is that it's very intrusive.
For instance some asian countries have an eID that you need to scan in order to play even non-gambling games as an underage person. And then there's time restrictions for the hours being too late or too many hours in a day.

Would you like to open up this rabbit hole? Me personally, I'd rather not. Even if it means saving a few people for gambling, I wouldn't want to be dragged into this.
If casinos want to implement stricter age verification it should be in the form of checking ID once maybe. Then it's up to the player to make sure they're disciplined.

[Porfirii]

I have recently mentioned it in another topic: in my country, on the contrary, there are regulations in force to protect the youngest, like a minimum distance between schools and the nearest casino, the mandatory identification in order to access, the prohibition of advertising them on billboards and bus shelters, and also of advertising them on TV before 1:00 AM. Even YouTubers have been warned and will be fined if minors are among their target and they advertise anything related to bets.

Therefore, I think it depends more on the culture/politics/government of each region.

In my country, inflation is very high, so people are trying to make money quickly. As a result, the number of people gambling has significantly increased in recent years. Consequently, gambling has rapidly spread among young people as well. I even see kids playing slot games on their mobile phones in the library, which is really sad. Although the measures you mentioned exist in my country, they haven't prevented young people from gambling. Despite age restrictions on websites and mobile games, everyone continues to gamble using their parents' identification information.

This is sad. But although these measures are not perfect, and maybe some of them can be interpreted as too lax by many or even as too strict by some, I think that they have some impact in children and teens in the sense that they help to decrease their gambling activity, to a certain degree. If that degree is 1% or 30% I can't tell, but I'm pro protecting minors, so no matter how little the impact is, I think it's good.

The kid will be exposed to something new, such as countries exerting their dominance over another, which may mean exposure to geopolitical tension. This exposure is way more dangerous than gambling, in my opinion, and I think this will make the kid mature at some point.  

Such exposure can be a thing that might be able to open the situation to where he will learn further in such a career option. other than gambling.

Apart from what you say, it also depends on the surroundings of a teenager, especially if his friends are fond of physical gambling and online casinos; he can be influenced in the long run. Then their parents don't know the environment that their child is in with these atmospheres.

So those teenagers, their parents should be able to explain to them about gambling and playing it to minors that teenagers like them can't try it so they don't become aware of or experience it at an early age, for at least if they have friends like that who like gambling, they are aware that it is not good for teenagers like them.

Basically, we must admit that the environment has a big influence on a child's development, especially on a child's habits and personality, simply put, if your child is in a positive environment, they will also be carried away by the current and if on the contrary, for example, your child is in an environment that has bad habits such as most of his friends are actively involved in gambling, then of course there is a big possibility for him to also become a gambler.

On the other hand, telling a child about what and how gambling really is, especially from the negative side, is indeed a good action, but sometimes it is also possible that your child will be curious and then try to gamble, but in general, of course, explaining to them slowly about the negative side of gambling is a good action rather than letting them and then they get involved in online gambling without you knowing considering the many gambling promotions that are now circulating on the internet.

There would be those moments that you might be able to notice it out but its already too late on which the damage has already been done or already that being affecting into your childs
condition but eventually there would be those common mistakes that could be changed and letting our kids be that aware so that in next time they wont be able to engage into it.

You are absolutely right in what you say, mainly sometimes children are not given the required importance when they Warn or are seen playing something , Sometimes by taking advantage of the time the parents who are entertained do not even give them that importance , the Bad thing is that since children this addiction is created, but in the condition that they are children, I consider that an addiction is easier to attack, the problem is when one is an adult and falls there , for this the children have their games according to their Age , but what matters most is in fact the Supervision and Guidance of their parents , if something bad happens it is the total Responsibility of their Parents.

I agree with you, I think teenagers need to be protected from gambling, but you can't do it only with government bans. Parents also need to protect their children and take care of them. Gambling addiction has become increasingly common among teenagers in recent years, and it’s truly sad.

I think in this digital era it is very difficult to control the activities of teenagers, because just by having a smart phone and having an internet network, they can do whatever they want. Because anyway, even though the government banned gambling, the reality is that many influencers promote gambling themselves. Sure, many influencers have  been  arrested for promoting gambling, but the reality is that gambling itself has been publicized so underage children will still be able to access it. So yes, any rules to limit the age of gambling, I think it is never effective, because the reality is that the gambling industry itself  also continues to increase.

Very indeed difficult even if you do say that you are really that making out such active checking or monitoring with your kids but still it wont really be totally assuring that you could be able to stop them on seeing into those stuffs that they could see possibly online including gambling. Somehow it is really that something more better in compared into those people or parents who dont bother on doing anything at all in correlation to this.
Our kids does really need out that kind of guidance from us parents if we do want for them to be on the right path on the way they do live on which this is something that us parents does really want for them. We dont want for them to deal up with something that could destroy their lives specially with gambling on which we know that this could really that wreck up their lives if they wont really be that careful.

This is why as much as we can as parents then we might not be able to make them avoid since we cant be able to monitor it out all the time but at least telling them about on what are the dangers about gambling and its possible effects on which with this then you do make them aware on what to deal up or not but of course it will really be just that still depending on a kid since there are really those who do obey their parents and there are ones who are really that curious and really wants to deal up secretly and this what really sucks bigtime on parenting period.

Age restrictions work relatively well when it comes to physical casinos, since they have personal on the ground checking people out and if a person that looks to young to be on their establishment appears they will immediately ask for an identification, but online this is very different, we know that most casinos do not ask for anything related to your identity until you attempt to make a withdrawal, so a teenager can gamble and lose everything and no online casino will do anything to stop him.

It is consistent with the strategy of casinos to allow people to play their games as fast and as easily as possible, without the submission of documents, it is good for them to attract new gamblers which may be interested in playing. Though, I would say that as soon as a teenager becomes aware they are not going to be able to withdraw their money in the case they got lucky, it becomes enough to deter them from further engaging on online gambling. After all, there is no reason to gamble in a website if you know from the beginning you would not be able to withdraw anything you earned, right?
So, identity verification on withdrawals could be enough as it stands nowadays, until regulators further lose their mind and start to force the biggest crypto casinos to ask for level 1 and level 2 KYC identification for creating an account, and not simply allowing new gamblers to deposit and play right way.

Very well, because if kids are left on their own, they could easily become overboard with whatever activities they have access to, and this includes gaming, because when you see kids that have parents who pay attention to them and monitor them on every activities, you will know that, such kids won't be making mistakes or engaging in games that is way above their age, most of those kid's that engage in adult activities lack parental supervision, so my question is, why should a parent five kids access to something that they know, they won't have the time to monitor them of those activities.

Gambling is bad for under age, so whatever relates to playing game's both on computer games or on a casino, one need to pay close attention to kid's if they most engage in any of such a game, we have some parents who have failed in they responsibility to handle they kid's involvement in gambling and have made the mistake of giving they kid's unlimited access to devices that keep them connected to such game's.

You are right, and this is actually one of the menace our society is facing today, and let's also be aware that some teenagers can go as far as using their personal documents of their non gambling relatives to pass the kyc verification if at any point, they won a good money and was going to withdraw but that casino Is asking for an identity verification before the withdrawal can be processed.

We can't actually blame casinos for not doing their job well by asking kyc verification from all new entries into the casino even before he or she is allowed to make their first deposit and play, and this is because if casinos were to begin to enforce this, alot of underage gamblers will be erradicated out from gambling, but then also, we all will join in the complaining about kyc, specially those of us who hate it.

Exactly, along with the development of the sophisticated digital era, anyone can easily access the internet network according to their wishes, especially from teenagers to adults, they are already proficient in accessing the internet via their smartphones.
And in my opinion, if the government provides an explanation or education related to gambling, I think the results will not be optimal without the help of supervision from parents at home in educating and controlling their children's behavior patterns.

In reality, government prohibitions with various sanctions given and parental supervision still do not have much effect in preventing underage children from gambling on their cellphones, parental supervision basically only applies at home because when children leave the house they are free to do anything without parental supervision.
All these efforts always fail, at first I thought it could also work and put pressure but most parents also have their own busy lives with various jobs that may have much less time to be able to supervise and continue to provide direction to their children, on the other hand free association involving children mingling with anyone is now also very common.

It needs to educate the influencers so they will not promote gambling to public and there are a strict rule for them about promoting something. If the government can cooperate with the influencer and gives education to their citizens about the risks of playing gambling, maybe that can works and the citizens will not trying to playing gambling.
And for physical casino, they must strictly limit people and will not allow teenager to enter to the casino although that can not be apply to the online casino but the online casino can use the other methods to prevents teenager to playing gambling.

Casinos is a very risky and addictive game, and it is more harmful for Adolescents. Adolescents should be kept away from this game as much as possible, because what they do in their youth, that's affect effect their beautiful life in the future. If they become addicted to gambling at a young age, they will become an full addicted gambler. And they will never be able to grow out of this dangerous place, and their lives will slowly move towards disaster, and their beautiful future will be ruined.

It is necessary to strictly control the access of teenagers to physical casinos, and nowadays every physical casino controls this well, so that teenagers cannot go to physical casinos in any way. But they enter online casinos and start gambling. Hence the age verification system should also be tightened in online casinos, so that they cannot gamble with fake information. And the parents of all these teenagers should teach them properly, and keep an eye on them, so that they don't gamble secretly. And if awareness education programs are introduced everywhere, the younger generation will get an early idea about gambling/casinos and its harmful effects, As a result, they will learn about the harmful effects of casinos and stay away from casinos.

Reducing children from using gadgets will prevent children, but unfortunately the current situation is that children tend to spend a lot of time playing with cellphones, there is no other solution, other than just providing education about the dangers of gambling, strict supervision is needed, it is very difficult to face a situation like this

            -   Additional security for gambling website is a must for me . KYC is a big factor for the restriction of Age. A video holding an ID is a verygood additiona also.
For the parents, tehre are so many apps now that can provide security fo rtheir children that can visit. Internet is a big help to the world of upgrade and development. But the bad side of it is the exposure of children to all of it.
Parents are the first line of defence to jkeep  their children safe to these kind of app and website.
We can't blame it to the online casino itself, coz everything now is going online and easy to access.

How you would be doing that? Come to think that these influences are paid to do streams about a particular service or product or anything on which as long they've been getting paid then they will really be not
minding whether the things they are streaming could do some potential harm or not. They do really just mind on getting paid and dont care about other people. This is why you cant blame them totally since they are really jus that doing their job and this is really just that a basic stuff. It is really that important on personal approach that whatever the things that you do see online then you should really know on how to control yourself.
Doing or testing out gambling isnt really that bad as long you do it in moderation and this is something that really needs up to consider when dealing up with gambling.

Teenagers are really that highly curious when it comes to things that they havent encountered ever since then it would really be coming up into their minds that they will really be testing it out and
find out whether it does give out that good feeling or not. On the moment that you get hooked and lose up control then this is where problems do start to build up.
Some do able to realize midway and some do able to get themselves hooked up and being addicted in the end of line.

If we do speak about fiat based casinos or gambling platform then yes it is really that something that could hinder out those youngsters do able to play with gambling but come to know that there are still who do able to bypass on just simply making use of their parents ID for some verification or making use of their own credit cards on which we know on how easy to make out some access or play gambling online on using up those accounts. How much more if we do speak about crypto gambling? on which we could really be able to play without any issues because as long you could be able to have some crypto that you do have on your wallet then you could be able to play anytime and anywhere you do want. We do know that there are still platforms who are really that still having no KYC on which means that verification isnt still applicable.
