Teenage exposure to gambling

[EarnOnVictor]

Maybe that may happen to casino that lets minors playing gambling. But we know that the casino can do that easily and allow minors to comes to their place secretly. Not many teenagers have a good self control to protect them from the big risks of playing gambling. Teenage exposure to gambling can easily happen especially when they don't talking to adult people about what is the risk and the effect of playing gambling. But that is not a casino wrong because playing gambling or not is a choice for all people so they need to determine by themselves. If they think playing gambling can makes them lose too much money, they don't have to playing gambling instead doing other things.

Gambling is prohibited by law, as is selling alcohol to teenagers, but this does not mean that teenagers do not drink alcohol. The same applies to casinos, not all casinos require verification, but a teenager needs to think about where to get money, and how to send it to the casino to start gambling. If the casino allows a teenager to play, they will also be responsible for this, so this is not only a problem for parents who have not explained to their children all the responsibility for this.

Nothing is as good as continuous sensitisation of these little children, they all have this syndrome of "wanting to try it" (we were there too), but if there is more dreadful awareness for them to be scared of gambling, they might at least wait till they are mature enough to handle it. I don't blame anyone entirely for teenager's gambling, the reason being that these teenagers are smart as well, it is what they want you to know that you will know. And if a KYC casino could allow them to gamble for a while without KYC, why won't they try it by filling a false age? Even if all KYC casinos say today that you must complete the KYC, what about the decentralised casinos? This makes my first advice the solution.

Have you ever thought about following: many parent here, that are age 18-40 are still kids inside and similarly prefer to spend lots of time in gadgets, like their kids. We have quite a vicious circle. When the internet gives so much information for parents, that they dont have time, wish, knowledge to educate their kids, who are deeply in gadgets and the internet. Kind of a missing link when parents must realize that they are parents now and do parenting stuff Just make a little research. Look after parents that need to educate kids about gambling and etc. They are always busy with gadgets. So in situation when we want to reduce number of teens exposure to gambling, first we need to educate parents (and maybe their parents as well:D), before we start searching for solution for situation with kids

There are lots of truth in all you've said. But when you look around the world today, it has evolved and we are in a technological era right now where people do literally almost everything on the internet/online. Not just the younger generation but the old folks are also joining the queue and before you know it, it'll be everyone.

Just that different people have different ways they tend to spend their time online, some work online, some only go there for the entertainment, and some to gain information from news and other sources, but the point is that, almost everyone spends more time online. But yeah you're right, for those that are already parents, they should realize that they've got a responsibility, thereby should strike a balance between how much time they spend online and how much time they spend with their family, specifically their kids, in order to be able to detect where needs correcting and guidance and also do so.

Thanks for this information, this argument is really relevant and it makes me think differently. If a casino can really be fined for allowing children to play, then its owners should be afraid that minors can play games provided by the casino under forged documents. The same applies to betting. Because these children can then report the casino to the police themselves, and I am sure that such cases have occurred.

I think the scenario of entering fake data is something that is very likely to happen very often and is done by underage children who are victims of gambling exposure, and of course it also happens in my country because in my country there are many local sites that can be easily accessed, you can enter fake data without experiencing any problems. On the other hand, regarding casinos that are fined for allowing underage children to gamble, I think that is a reasonable consequence for them to experience because they allow underage children to be involved in their casinos, but I also think that it is unlikely for underage children to report the casino to the police, unless there is a serious underlying reason such as injustice on the part of the casino which for example harms the gambler, but I think for underage children it is very unlikely for them to take such serious actions.

[Outhue]

In this current age and Time, it has become extremely hard to keep kids away from something that is widely done like gambling we just have to educate the kids on the fact about gambling and how hard it is to get out of gambling once you become huck to it, and to avoid that kid's needs not to be greedy and should not stake money on games unless if  the regular computer games.

You are right, there is no need to hide anything from children this days, one day you will be shocked to find out that they knew about gambling already, someone close to them might have influence them either home or in school, instead it is better to ask them and tell them it is fine they tell you and put them through yourself, my dad did the same, put that fear in me and I am glad he did, if not I would have use a soft hand to handle gambling.

Normally people will only tell you that you can win by gambling but no one will warn you about losing some money.

I agree with everything you say, and I think that it is really unlikely that children will inform on casinos, I rather meant underage children who would intentionally want to blackmail casinos, I have seen such children, they were from disadvantaged families.
I wanted to focus the answer on something else, on fake KYC. I recently saw news that there is an AI-based program on the network that easily makes fake photos of documents for KYC, and I think that the future of fake documents is on this.

Kids spend lots of time online and learn different things there (like gambling for example) because being online and learning from youtube or instagram videos is a trend now. Their parents do completely the same, as they did not have all that developed internet context during their youth. It is sort of a "inexperience isnt able to teach something other inexperienced person" situation. Adults are not able to see thread from internet when they are in the internet deeply by themselves. And the internet is what spread gambling among everyone.

I agree with you, an ideal parent should treat their child in a friendly manner without being overbearing. Because parents may not always be right, in that case, instead of making a decision with the child in anger, you have to explain it calmly, because they can do anything at any time (maybe a terrible decision like suicide). Therefore, every parent should control their child's emotional, social and technology usage from the very beginning. Always keep an eye on them, stand beside them and guide them. And to prepare them mentally in such a way, So that they do not disobey you in any way, they have to be prepared in an ideal way. Only good parenting can guide a child in the right direction.

I think you are right that parents should not be too angry as they might be wrong or not but they have to understand the mental status of the child. But at the same time they must have to take care their child as they can commit anything wrong any time as they are teenage.

[LUCKMCFLY]

You are doing well as a parent, kudos, but many aren't, they forgot that it is our responsibility and this responsibility is also technical and psychological. We should continue in the way we know best and always connect with the children to even know what they are doing hiddenly because there are many bad things they might not learn from us but from a peer group or older people. Knowing that will help us to educate them and deal with the situation decisively. As for Google and other platforms controlling children's access, it can never be effective, they will do their best but the children can still outsmart them in many ways since Google and the rest will not know them directly, which is where good parenting also comes him.

Yes, it is very true, in fact now it seems to me that children are much more intelligent and advanced than us, they learn in a very fast way, and the things that when I was little seemed complicated to me, they solve them and without effort, then children have their methods to get information, possibly telling signs, how to force certain things, the truth is very difficult to control a child, a teenager because you don't know what they can do, but you have to do the best even if it involves punishments, because that is preferable to them getting out of control, I consider that a child should have sports activities, musical activities, so that they come home to sleep after school and then to school, so that they almost can't or don't want to pick up a phone.

Anger is never the way to solve a problem, it even becomes a catalyst for the child to deviate more in the future trajectory because children are the ones who can be called sensitive to words, besides their self-esteem is also too high, colliding with them in a harsh way, they become more resistant. Especially with the age of adolescents as well as close to adolescence, their knowledge is no longer called immature, they even want to show more about their abilities, they know how to use money and it becomes the root cause of gambling addiction but correcting them is still possible because the development has not stopped, they have many opportunities to recover, being too angry is just that little soul collapsing

There's a very thin line between parent's ability to understand the internet and their kid's online experiences, and this is what raises the major concern. Those parents who grew up in an without the internet may actually find it pretty difficult to relate to their kid's online activities, and that's where it's pretty difficult to provide adequate guidance. But those who are conversant and pretty familiar with the internet has more advantages because they'll have the opportunity to closely monitor their kids and their internet activities, that way one may be able to keep an eye on them.

And the internet is what spread gambling among everyone.

And what is the simplest and most accessible "source" of the Internet? Of course, a smartphone, and through this "bottleneck" you can limit access to the Internet. For example, by giving a teenager an old smartphone to use, which will lag and slow down, which will be out of the question of gambling. Or, instead of the latest iPhone, give a regular cell phone for calls, on which it will be technically impossible to play gambling games.

First, parents give teenagers smartphones with an Internet connection, and then complain that children spend too much time on the Internet or, even worse, in online casinos. By depriving them of the "tool" of gambling, this problem is solved.

And in the case of PCs and laptops, restricting access to some resources on the Internet also solves the problem of teenage gambling. In addition to this, teenagers need to be occupied with such activities (hobbies, studies, clubs, etc.), after which they will not have time and energy for gambling.

[taufik123]

If parents can position themselves as a best friends or closest person to their teenager, that teenager will share what they find out there and ask for the suggestion to them. They will not trying something that they don't know for sure and can handle their curiosity better than the other children.
-snip-

To be able to be like that, parents really have to be good examples and friends for children, but the process of becoming the child's main friend also depends on how the education pattern is carried out. 

Because many children are also reluctant to tell their parents all their problems on the grounds that they do not want someone to know.
And children who grow up have a high and unstable ego level, so parents really have to understand what their children need.

When you are really that already a parent then it will really be that one of the things that you do need to be careful when handling out your kids on which not all would really be that too strong when it comes to emotion handling and there are really ones who are really that too sensitive specially into the words on where their parents would really be that saying into. This is why as a parent then you should really be that careful on how you do deal up with your kids and teach them the best way as possible without hurting them physically and mentally. Usually if you will really be that enforcing those kind of act on where you are really that too aggressive on teaching them the  right way then it might not be resulting into the things on which you do want or really that supposed to be. This is why its really that important that you do really know at least on the things that you are really that trying to teach them in the best possible way.

We do know that in todays technology then it will really be that that so easy that you will really be able to see almost everything on which there's no exemption for someone who do able to see
up different things online including gambling. There's no way that you could be able to stop for them not to see it, this is why proper education and explaination will really be something needed.
Teaching them and made them realize that its never been that good on dealing up with gambling because this doesnt really only talks about money spending but also with those gambling addiction that
could cause up that huge problem on a certain individual.

The problem can be solved if parents read quality article regarding screentime. How terrible it is for the brain to process multiple hours on screen each day. Compared to how unhealthy it is for kids to stay online watching videos and looking for contents unguarded. At a young age we had the internet, but no smart phones, but we still encountered contents we were not meant to see. So, at a time where the internet is sophisticated with millions of creators looking to earn money with any form of content it's not safe for kids anymore. At least to secure their emotions.

With having that easy access in todays era then it cant really be avoided that there would really be informations that could really be able to see with those youngsters and we us parents wont really be able to filter out or able to see on what are the things that they are seeing online. This is why there would really be those time or moments that they will really be able to skip out into our awareness
and able to deal up with things accordingly. You will be able to notice it out on the moment or time that issues rises or becomes that too obvious. This is why proper guidance and telling them
about gamblings risks and potential problems could really be able to help out at least for them to avoid this thing on the moment that they've seen these things online.

I agree with you, excessive screentime and unregulated internet use can cause serious harm to children. Because if they get addicted to something bad on the internet from childhood then its negative effects will remain in their future. Moreover, too much screen time can have many negative effects on their physical health.

Moreover, the worst thing these days is that, children these days have access to all kinds of illegal and addictive things through the internet very easily. So that they become addicted very easily.

Every parent should, therefore, limit children's screen time and ensure safe and educational content for them. Keep a close eye on them. And develop good habits from their childhood, because people are slaves of habits.

The current increasingly sophisticated development helps everyone easily in doing anything, whether it's work or shopping to meet their household needs, also with information that can be obtained only through the internet, it cannot be denied that this clearly helps us. However, even though it helps a lot, things become easier, there are also negative impacts that can occur, such as those who expand their online gambling business by taking advantage of this development to reach a wider range of users, this is not a mistake because this is a natural thing to do because of course a company that is built will definitely try many things to develop its business.
However, the problem is in each individual in terms of awareness, if each individual has good awareness, it seems that they will not easily fall into things that are not profitable such as gambling addiction, now there are many online gambling advertisements circulating, but if people have good awareness they will not gamble excessively or do it with disciplined limits.

It is right that there is no way to say that anger may make the solution for a child to stay away from anything unwanted. And if we become angry then they learn about the angry and they do the same to others. But to let them know what is right and what is wrong I think it is necessary too.

Literally some kids have been battered with the information they get from some of this contents even without having an actual real life experience and it's really sad because for the content creators all they care is to keep one glued to the screen, gain more traffic and make money, what it does to the viewers in the long term doesn't always really affect them all that so for them it's basically just a job where they do all they can to make the money there by making it a point of duty for the viewers to protect themselves or risk the chances of the after effects.

In this day and age, even if we don't mention gambling or online gambling, they will still know about it, and they can't avoid not knowing for those teenagers whether to do it or not.

Because the most important thing for us as parents or elders to do is to remind them about the bad effects of gambling, and at least in this way we can teach them a lesson about gambling and its effects on us.
