Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

[Silikiem]

Gambling could affect the studies and Education of "Adults" who get carried away by that form of entertainment, so it is not intelligent for a person who knows that he is an "Adult" and knows how the casino business works and gets Carried away by it because he really wants to, the one who is clear about what he is going to study when he Studies, even if they offer him what they offer, it will not affect his studies.

Gambling and education do not mix, and this for both the young and the old, there is no separation here, gambling while studying does not only affect the adult, it also and will also affect a child or a young person who is studying too, this is why it is very important for those who are still schooling to avoid gambling and focus totally on passing out from their school with high flying colors in terms of result.

Time spent analyzing games and looking the match to place the next bet on can also be used to read, study and carry out educational researches and so on, gambling can ruin a person's educational career if he or she is not careful, so this is why it's always better for one to be completely done with schooling before he or she start engaging in gambling if he or she finds it interesting to engage in.

It is true that gambling can ruin one’s educational career because I’ve seen people dropping out from school  because of gambling, not because they couldn’t pass their exams but simply because they used money meant to pay up for their fees to gamble and when they lost the bet and left with no money, they were unable to pay their fees before time so they could sit for the forthcoming exams, and when a student start missing exams then it spells doom.

Most student are easily influenced by their environment because in school they are usually gathering of different folk with different mindset and some of those folk that got influenced by their environment are usually gamble irresponsibly . That’s why the unusually go to the extent of having the thought of wanting to gamble with their tuition fees, which is wrong because gambling is full with uncertainty so there are chances of you ending up losing it all.

Since the students aren't matured, they are easily influenced by the environment. Parents role is very important in this matter, so they don't follow the bad things from the environment. Whenever parents know wrong attitudes, parents must remind the students. Parents sometimes can be more effective to remind the students than the teachers at school.

When the students want to join gambling, parents must stop them. Students are underage, joining gambling must be 18 years at least. If parents understand about the rules in gambling, they can guide the students. So, the students won't try to join gambling anymore before they fulfill the minimum age (18 years old).

It's true, I'm reminded as well, I do gamble stuff at early age but those are just for fun and it didn't really affect my perspective about the value of money and of course my studies. I'm guided well about the effects of gambling especially if you get addicted to it, it'll ruin your future if you're exposed too much on gambling.

But yeah, learning gambling is inevitable even for students but if a student knows how to value money and how things happen when you gamble too much, then they'll realize what to do after a one-time gamble.

Ofc you can't avoid peers, most of them do gambling stuff so as a parent, guide them and make them realize everything about money and the importance of it, even they aren't matured enough but with the guidance and wisdom, everything could be fine.

I knew of someone that didn't even bother to learn how gambling works because he believes that if he go into it he will surely get addicted to it (fear of getting addicted to gambling) . Such is not bad at all we human got to understand ourselves know our weakness, because not everything you compare yourself to others , for instance you know that you can not handle the losses in gambling or trading is best to stay away from it , because surely such is going to affect negatively.

[boltz]

Yea it does.

Here in Romania we had a very big case on this subject and eventually all betting agencies are forbidden to operate near schools or high schools because it got so bad at some point that a lot of minors got involved into betting life and skipped school but also grown up students and it became a national problem that at some point , after long battles , they released a law that basically forbids them near any educational institutes.

So yea ...gambling affects education and I'm sure it does in a big way. 

[Orpichukwu]

It is a deep problem to use tuition fees to bet. Students who gamble are not just gambling for fun, they are toiling with their future. The supervisors are really right to step in, but forcing it alone won't solve it.
Parents, schools and communities have stronger roles to play in awareness and setting digital boundaries. This is about the system that empowers and profits bad choices not just about the bad choices made.
Off course it's a serious and bothering issue because time and money set out for education get wasted and the moment addiction sets in, it becomes hard to reverse.

Time and money spent on a kid's education will be a waste if the child turns out to be an addict, which is correct. The parent and the community can also try to play a very vital role in the life of a child to educate them about gambling, and the child can still decide to leave them and go into institutions where they are not supervised and decide to choose their own path. As far as a child is of age, every decision they make they should be accountable for because they have the choice to choose their own path.

It is even wrong for a student to gamble because they are not emotionally strong to withstand losses and since they will be betting in order to win and cover up some of their tuition fees and other academic stuffs that requires money, it is dangerous because when the win doesn't come it can immediately chance the reasoning of that student which can even lead to engaging in social vices just to raise money and continue with their education, some people may not even want to continue their education if they have fallen into addiction, any money they get from whichever source they will prefer to gamble with it. Students should never be allowed to gamble, all they need is concentrate on their studies and abstain from anything that will affect their academic activities. I know some persons who gambled with their school fees and it wasn't really funny.

In most cases, not all students are under age. If we are speaking of higher institutions, most students are already young adults who loves to make choices and test out those things that probably their parents told them was wrong. Gambling won't be left out if they had interest. But if we speaking of under age, then it's absolutely wrong to have a gambling shop very close to their school. They will be lured to gamble, some might steal from their parents just so they are abel to fund their gambling activities. This will not only disrupt their learning but their emotions as well...

When a child becomes addicted to gambling, he is definitely jeopardizing his beautiful future. At this age, he is not only wasting his parents' hard-earned money on gambling, but he is also wasting his valuable time and age to gain valuable education. Therefore, if his parents do not take proper care of him at this age, he can easily go down a harmful path, due to which his beautiful future will definitely be destroyed. Therefore, every parent should take proper care of their child, especially limiting their online activities as much as possible and educating them in the right education so that they do not go astray. The responsibility of parents is the greatest to prevent a child from going astray.

The major causes of this is as a result of, (1)most Parents aren't taking proper care of their children or engage their children with skills that will fetch them money while they're studying, because these university students, when they have problems in school they start looking for alternative ways to earn easy money, I remember my course mate that almost used off his school fees back then in gambling. secondly students are influenced by some of their association of friends and in some cases not even the betting companies that lure them.

Of course, many students do not have enough money during their studies, and the young period of life in which you really want to travel, buy yourself various things and not deny yourself anything. I also went through this stage in life and it was very difficult without money and in the end I could not realize what I wanted, but I did it much later, unfortunately. But in my time, social networks were not developed, which show a beautiful life now and many have a picture in their heads that everyone lives so well except them. I think that's why gambling has become too popular because everyone wants to get money very quickly and does little to achieve this useful.

That's why I think parents should be careful when they are young so that they don't do anything like that in the future. Minors can make mistakes, but it is the responsibility of the parents to bring them on the right path until they become adults. If a child is addicted, it means that he is not normal. Whatever is spent on his education will be a complete loss. Parents must be careful before he becomes addicted. Once he becomes addicted, it is very difficult to bring him back from the position. They should be monitored as much as possible until they become adults, otherwise they will be damaged.

If most students don't have enough money to survive they shouldn't gamble. In poor countries their parents give them money so they'll get good jobs after graduating. If they're at uni spending money on gambling & losing they won't eat until their parents send more money. Students shouldn't gamble.

Even if those students dont even gamble, they will have it hard to find success in life. If they have difficulties, they should think of finding a part time job, instead of using money parents gave them to gamble and increase their budget. University student, that waits money from parents to buy food - imo that is wrong and low. If that person is in university, he is +18 already, and an adults should not sit on parents neck all the time. On the other hand we face a huge dilemma. If a students needs money and work - that will also influences on his results in study. Then what, students should not work either?

[Fredomago]

Students at that age are easily influenced by their peers, the moment information on how to gamble goes round in the institution it's going to go through a lot of problem with trying to raise the students. Like you said, the overtime percentage would increase because more people would be engaged in it. The best way to curb gambling addiction is by reaching out to the young ones and make sure you tell them the dangers of it

Will you go to them one by one? Is it possible? I do not think it is possible better make social awareness, which will help all the community, including students. I do not think there might have any other better solution except social awareness. So, we have to think which will increase social awareness.

Making a public awareness is the best way to reach out to students, going to them one by one isn't possible except you are trying to get tht attention of just a few number of persons which isn't going to be very impactful...in my country people do awareness programs on different things In schools but I have not come across any gambling awareness program...this is something that would help a lot of people

Yeah, if the gambling industries can use social medias or whatever venue that they can advertise their business, awareness should also do the same, putting social awareness about the danger that gambling can bring to people's life should also be a priorities, especially those young minds who are also being involve into gambling, school and government instituions should take this seriously to prevent more and more young gamblers to ruined their opportunities in life.

Parents will give money for education, because it is the norm for our society, but if he starts losing his pocket money, then it will be a bad decision and in this case he can lose this money and think about starting to earn money independently to spend his money at his own discretion. If gambling will be an expense item for him and will only be a loss, then why continue to play, I think this should be clear. Of course, it would be good if he earned money independently, but combining work with study is difficult.

[DiMarxist]

Yea it does.

Here in Romania we had a very big case on this subject and eventually all betting agencies are forbidden to operate near schools or high schools because it got so bad at some point that a lot of minors got involved into betting life and skipped school but also grown up students and it became a national problem that at some point , after long battles , they released a law that basically forbids them near any educational institutes.

So yea ...gambling affects education and I'm sure it does in a big way. 

I think this is the case in many countries and it is good not allowing those minors in the hall to bet but as for the online. It will be hard to regulate them because those minors can access the casinos without visiting the site and they can even hide themselves during the lesson and lecture periods to gamble online. This is a very serious problem in many part of the world.
Teachers should always check their students to know if they are in the classroom. And from the report even in the classroom they are still visiting the casino website to gamble.

When a child becomes addicted to gambling, he is definitely jeopardizing his beautiful future. At this age, he is not only wasting his parents' hard-earned money on gambling, but he is also wasting his valuable time and age to gain valuable education. Therefore, if his parents do not take proper care of him at this age, he can easily go down a harmful path, due to which his beautiful future will definitely be destroyed. Therefore, every parent should take proper care of their child, especially limiting their online activities as much as possible and educating them in the right education so that they do not go astray. The responsibility of parents is the greatest to prevent a child from going astray.

This is not just about bad parenting; parents can be extra careful in handling their child, making sure they are strict with them on what they should do and what not to do, and have parental control on all online platforms and limit what they can access on their internet. In the eyes of the parent, the child can be very humble and obedient, but each time the eyes of the parent are off the child, you can't predict what they are doing in those few minutes. When they are in school with their mates, in game class, etc., and when they are finally free from home to go to higher education, parents have a role to play, but the children are the ones who will decide the path. No matter the guardians, any child that doesn't want to be useful to themself will look for a way to render themself useless.

I don't think parents should be blamed for their kids t gamble while in school,  parents gives their kids the best they can provide for them nd if it is not enough for the child their is nothing that can be done about it. And if a student is not having enough to solve some his problem in school,  this not make the child to think gambling is a way of making money. Their are other ways of makings good money as a student. You can make money by doing fellows student assignments and also to make researches for students with this you can be able to accumulate some money to assist yourself than gambling.  Gambling will cause a student to even lose the little money that was giving by the parents.

[ndutndut]

Studying and gambling are two different things and if the two issues are considered carefully then a clear explanation can be found. A good student will never be a gambler or at least he will control himself before participating in gambling and will be extremely careful so that his studies do not suffer.

A bad student doesn't really want to study, so he gambles during his studies so that he doesn't have to study. No matter how much you suggest to these students, they won't study. These students who gamble will definitely harm their studies and their careers.

In fact, we always say in this forum that you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and with your own hard-earned money. So, when students gamble, they're already making a big mistake from the start. Moreover, if they're determined to gamble, it will not only ruin their education but also their future.

Therefore, almost all gambling companies always remind people that gambling is only for those aged 18+. Even countries that legalize gambling have regulations regarding the age limit for gambling. However, students often violate the prohibition, which is why we see so many students dropping out of school due to gambling in various countries. What you say is also true. Good students certainly won't gamble, but bad students will gamble without caring about their education. This is why it's important to supervise children to prevent them from gambling prematurely.

[Fortify]

I Stumbled on a news that "Betting Companies in Uganda Luring Students to lost their Futures" with fake bonuses and promise of big wins. According to the explanation, the time you use in the casino affect your future and life which would have been used for studies. They use an idiomatic expression to portray the point by saying that " robbers came to steal money which your properties", but casinos came to steal your time, which will affect everything in your life in the future. So their brighten futures only ended up in gambling.  And they further said the 30% of the students are well engaged in online gambling instead of focusing their students. And for "Sports Betting" and the money that is meant for tuition fees were used in this act.
And that prompt the regulators to come up and say that gambling companies are exploiting the students with unrealistic wins. And research shows that 97% of the students used mobile phones to gamble online during school hours as a disguised as entertainment.

This is an alarming issues concerning students.
What is your say in this critical issue against gambling companies?

It seems like common sense to restrict gambling to 18 years old or maybe ever higher like 21. Our brains are still developing through those years and are especially vulnerable to addiction forming games, so governments should take a lot of care in enforcing the law around gambling. It's actually better for casinos and bookmakers to have a lot of more responsible gamblers because they are more likely to play consistently over a long time. A true addict is going to burn through everything and then just be throwing scraps at a casino, but someone who is educated yet still enjoys it for fun could turn into a life long customer if they're treated right. Universities and colleges should definitely offer support and steer students away from gambling at a young age with the right education.
