Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

[o48o]

For me it depends on the country we are in, because in mine the truth is they are not Interested , they are only interested in money and nothing else , that is why I do not believe in governments or their regulations, because I have my own experience , I do not know in the case of European or Northern countries where there is supposedly a better order , but based on what South America is , things are very liberal and almost Without interest.

But how taxing should be done then? I personally live in one of those Northern countries and i love free healthcare, free education, less corruption, workers rights, privacy rights and working infrastructure. Even though we have to fight every day to keep away the fascists that want to slowly undo all that. And i can't see any other way to achieve that then via taxing and strict regulations. And even if that all those regulations increases bureaucracy, it's worth it.

It's just a matter of debate what we should tax, and most of the people in here agree that anything that might increase health costs should be taxed. And sadly, while gambling addiction isn't a problem in majority, health issues and down spiral of people can affect negatively to our society in many ways. So we tax it like we tax unhealthy foods, tobacco and alcohol etc.

Obviously i would be also against regulations if my only experience of it would be corruption. And regions change slowly, it takes time (sometimes few generations) of new party leaders to fix corruption. Because it also requires attitude change in the population. When people can't trust officials, they teach their kids not to trust them, and those to their kids. It could be fixed with education system and by media, but it's a long road and doesn't happen over one election win, but by inclusivity and long term regulations.

What's going to happen if students go for exams with out studying & revising. They've got better chances to pass their exams if they're focused. Gambling's going to affect students focus it's a distraction which shouldn't be in their life.

It all depends on whether students gamble instead of entertainment, or instead of preparation time? Some may simply not play computer games, but prefer gambling instead, and then the time for preparing for exams will not change. And some may first play computer games, and then gamble. But in any case, I think that gambling is undesirable during studies.

I also think it's a subjective thing, whether a student plays or not always depends on him, they have no excuses.
There are a lot of kids who get into the game even though they are studious or people who are very good at school, so in my opinion it's just subjective.

Actually, these things definitely depend on their decision, this is a time when it is very difficult to control them, so it is really a matter of personal choice that how a student spends his free time along with his studies, but not to the exclusion of studies. But it is important to maintain his own balance, so that it does not have any negative impact on his studies. If they take it to an extreme level and start gambling uncontrollably, then it will definitely take a very negative shape, so they need to be taught the right way, they need to understand the difference between normal and addictive or dangerous things, so that they can make the right decisions.

What is your say in this critical issue against gambling companies?

If a gambling company is proven to be targeting student players, it must be dealt with.
There are standard rules that gambling companies must abide by, one of which is the age of +18.
If the company has implemented all the rules including +18 but the users who register to play do not prevent it, I think that's the problem.

I think there are still many student players who are not +18 who play without the knowledge of their parents. If the casino enforces KYC, it can be avoided because they don't hold an identity card yet.

If the student is not up to 18+ then whom is to blamed? Is it the casino company or the students. And it is not good to sanction the company because students play gamble but if the student are below 18 years and the casino company is in the environment of f either primary school or secondary school environment and students are going to play gamble then the casino company should be held responsible.
I think these are some of the causes of casinos to ask KYC.

Some times young ppl & adults become addicted because they've made small  bets for enjoyment. It doesn't take long for ppl to become addicted so they've got to be careful because many ppl don't realise when they're addicted. Students shouldn't focus on gambling they've got to concentrate in studies & their future.

I also think it's a subjective thing, whether a student plays or not always depends on him, they have no excuses.
There are a lot of kids who get into the game even though they are studious or people who are very good at school, so in my opinion it's just subjective.

But online casinos work a little differently. When you register, the casino website asks whether you are 18 years old and legally an adult. If you confirm this, the casino removes all responsibility from itself. And since many casinos today do not require identity verification, it is impossible to actually check this. But because the player confirms the truthfulness of their age information, the casino thereby protects itself from liability.

It's assumed that anyone who is signing up for a casino is matured enough to go into gambling and it's also written boldly on casinos that it's only people who are 18 up that can partake in gambling because you have have to be mentally prepared and ready to gamble because gamble is about making decisions and choices so if you are not up to 18

That's right, when we select yes to the question of whether you are +18, then all responsibility lies with the registrant and it is no longer the casino's responsibility.
But what I mean is if there are casinos that require players to submit IDs when making withdrawals and many players are deceiving themselves when registering.
If the casino is not so strict on the rules as to request identity, of course the checks are not carried out. It's not the casino that's at fault, it's those who are not yet +18.

Every person has the right to do what they want regardless of your opinions, as long as their actions do not harm anyone else. Therefore, it is up to each student to decide whether or not to gamble and how to study. We can only give them advice, but remembering myself in my youth, I can say with confidence that I didn't really listen to most of the advice and always tried everything out for myself. Young people always strive to learn through their own experience, even if it is negative. And there is nothing wrong with that.

You’re right about the responsibility is already on us once we fake the ToS. And I doubt casino can fully restrict minors to play if they have access to valid of an adult. In addition, there’s also a lot of services that offers KYC verification for problem like this expand the problem of the casino when it comes to verification just to avoid minors.

Overall, it’s dangerous to play while breaking the ToS because there’s a point that casino requires enhance KYC that ask for bank statements and other sensitive info which you will have a problem if you are gambling illegally.

[arabspaceship123]

The student's have a right to use their money like they want. If they're happy studying & gambling because they're comfortable doing it they won't take advice from ppl it's some thing they'll understand when they're getting older.

The one who has money will decide how to use that money. If he is given any advice and if he does not accept it and says that how I spend my money is my personal matter, then there is nothing to say. He will make many mistakes at this age but those mistakes will not be seen by his consideration, but when he grows up and understands responsibility at some point, he may regret the mistakes he made in student life. However, when the time is up, there is no point in understanding, should understand well while you have time.

If you violate the ToS of a gambling platform, you cannot expect to withdraw a large win even if you win it. I am afraid to even imagine a situation where I am lucky enough to win $5,000-$10,000 but cannot receive this win because I intentionally violated the ToS of the gambling platform. In my opinion, if gambling is not allowed in your country, you can play for fun, understanding that the probability of winning a large sum is minimal, or you can play in illegal land-based casinos. But the second option also has its risks.

If the casino and its affiliates did not overstep their boundaries by directly advertising to the student and soliciting their engagement in it, then they are 100% exonerated in this. Many adult activities are open, it is now left for the student to engage in them whether being an adult or not. Many underage individuals are gambling, should we blame the casino for that, despite warning about it on their platform and ensuring that the age started from 18 years old?

But the underage will falsify their age to still register and gamble. No one can hold the casino responsible for that, just as no one can hold them responsible for what students do without forcing them.

Yeah, that's correct. The KYC needs to be strict about this because there are so many underage individuals now that are slipping through this rule by using fake IDs or their older friend's identification.
Then, there are online casinos now that don't require KYC unless you win a big amount, where they will need the details before a gambler can withdraw the funds. I managed to play in one of our local online casinos without KYC for a month, and I was just withdrawing small amounts. If that can happen, I am sure many kids are playing in the same online casino because they can get away from KYC rules.

Students that are still dependant on their parents and guidance to pay tuition fees and survive don't have the right to use money given to them as they like. Unless the people that gives them money tells them to gamble with parts of it but I seriously doubt that any responsible parents or guidance will say such a thing. Dependants and unemployed people are not surposed to have anything to do with gambling because in the process of trying to win  and double their money they can lose everything. It is only people that makes their own money that are qualified to gamble.

If the gambler can develop his mentality correctly, then he will definitely be able to stay away from this addiction, but if he does not want to stay away from gambling, then nothing can force him to stay away from gambling.

That is just ideal, but there are people who find it very Difficult to reach that level, in fact some do not achieve it because they are always looking to win and win without caring that,  when they acquire enough maturity it can be said that that is when they Achieved their mentality , I tell those who can that when they go to play they should only put in the money that they can lose, and if they lose it they should leave it there and not risk any more.

Gambling do affect education and studies, like here in Nigeria so many students are fund of gambling with either their school fees and some other pocket or project money, for instance a student that uses he school fees of maybe 200k+ to gamble and lost it all tell me how that student will feel through out that semester knowing too well that single action can cost him a lot, how will he concentrate on studies rather than looking for a way to replace it and that might probably took his attention more than the studies he should be more focused on, I have seen so many students go astray for one common mistake of which most of them are not aware of the consequences maybe let me try luck and increase this money have sent many students back home, because they forgot it's a game of luck if by chance you're out of luck that very day then you regret ever going there and by wanting to make it up trying to make a replacement most go into robbery and all sorts of nonsense, so yes gambling really do affect education and studies.

[LUCKMCFLY]

What you must know is that people aren't smart enough in those days compared to how they are being handled in school and thought. Today kids now have access to information than our days and then there are little fear and respect in us but today you can't even imagine it because they do access everything without respect and fear of anything, and if they founds out that they don't know that particular thing you would see them googling it online to have a thorough information and knowledge towards those things now.

Yes, and as they continue to be born , children come with more intelligence, with more access so they can do better and bigger things than the new generations , they no longer have so many obstacles, the fact that they know information at a short time of a high knowledge nature makes them what they are now, that is why children of these times are not so easily tempted by a casino , young people in the middle of their stage may be more Inclined to go to a casino , but it is a matter of keeping them busy with sports, studies, and external activities.
