Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

[Hispo]

Young students who get pocket money from parents shouldn't think about gambling. In poor countries parent can't educate children with out suffering. If they start gambling they'll betray their parents it isn't fair they've got to graduate & help their family.

it is through that parents in developing countries need to suffer more and work extra when compared to people in developed countries to get their children education, in the end it is about giving one's children what it is the best for them and send them to a university so they can become highly skilled professionals in the future.
I dont know if the case of a student partaking in gambling could be considered to be treason in some way towards their parents, I would not use that word slightly.

I would be something equivalent to treachery of their children actively stole money from them in order to gamble or bet on casinos or betting house which do not enforce the minimum age required to access to their services. That is a completely different scenario.

So far, if a kid is gambling with money it was given to them to do whatever they wanted, I would just say they are just losing their path and need to be corrected so they wont get addicted to gambling and actually get involved on stealing money from their family.

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.

You have a point but I don't think that gambling companies take students to be their main target, they are just running a business and they are not responsible for anyone's personal gambling activities. People who gets addicted to it are not being compelled of forced, it's a personal decision. The only way to make sure that students don't get tempted to gamble is if they avoid setting up centers close to school environments

[WhoYouCantKill]

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.

Casino sites are making KYC mandatory. Gradually, many top-tier and reputable casino sites have made KYC mandatory on their platforms so that minors cannot gamble. However, if students, despite being minors, gamble on the platform without providing their parents' or someone else's documents or proving their age, it is their own and their family's responsibility. Casino sites are doing their business and they will do various kinds of promotions, it is their right, but if students gamble, it is their family's responsibility because their family is unable to take care of them.

One of the saddest aspects of gambling is seeing children or underage students gamble. Regardless of developed countries or poor countries, student gambling is considered illegal. Every student has a moral responsibility to their parents, who have provided support and facilities for their education, yet some fail to fulfill their duty to study seriously. They should be aware of the consequences and negative impacts of gambling, even if they haven't yet developed a mature understanding.

Parents are sometimes too busy working, so they don't have enough time to give their full attention to guiding their children, I think that quite normal, especially if they live in a poor country or a developing country. In such situations, no one is to blame, and everyone can understand that students can easily access gambling sites at this time, due to the abundance of gambling advertisements on various social media platforms, not to mention the influence of his circle of friends.

Yes of course I agree with you, there is no justification for stopping casino promotions, casinos will do everything to improve their business, but here the responsibility to prevent minors from entering is not only the casino, here the guardian of every minor should monitor their activities, so that they cannot enter any casino site.

Casinos can make the maximum KYC mandatory to prevent minors from entering, nothing more, but even then if minors enter using someone else's identity or creating fake documents, then it is definitely a social failure.

So in the case of a minor, the biggest responsibility to prevent them from entering such places is their guardian, if they are responsible for their children and strictly control them especially on online activities, then only it will be possible to prevent a minor from going the wrong way, otherwise casinos are never responsible.

Indeed, there's no specific age as like you mentioned it's a business and whoever that participate are the clients that they'll going to cater, though the chance that students in their young mind can deeply engage and get addicted, they might bring more money to the house and casino will love to keep them to stay, as that's how business works, it's always on the person to rect carefully and properly to avoid messing up.

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.

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.

[LDL]

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.

[DaNNy001]

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

Yes, and since we often see the tendency of gambling addiction among minor students more and more, that is why we should definitely introduce an awareness education system about gambling for them.

Look, we can never force all these students to stay away from gambling, even if punitive laws are made to keep them away from gambling, it is still not possible to reduce it because they can naturally gamble secretly.

So to keep them away from it, we have to create the right understanding among them, so that they decide to stay away from it on their own, of course, public awareness should be created to stay away from gambling, where students understand how gambling addiction can completely destroy a person's beautiful life, and if this right understanding comes among them, they will definitely decide to quit gambling on their own to stay away from it.

Gambling was never meant for underage people and this is one of those reasons why many online casinos compulsory KYC verification, which many gamblers hate unfortunately, I wonder what this world would have turned into if there is no rules and regulations from the law, even while many are screaming that those in law are the most corrupt I still believe that not having law around will be more worse.

For whatever business you plan to run you must think about the safety of the public first, this increases the chances of you getting permission to run the business, drugs are frown upon not because it's bringing better money than anything but because of the damages it brings to the society.

No student is good or bad, it's just mediocre scaling that brought about who's doing fine in school or not. Students excel in unique fields and some weren't opportuned to study the course they wanted to read in school, and these people while in a department they don't want, always feel less concerned and could go back to gaming as a solution to their anxiety and stress. Gambling in school is quite not nice and shortens the pocket money of the students leaving them distracted and unserious. With the right tutors and guidians they can come out of toxic gaming lifestyle while in school.

It's true that gambling wasn't meant for underage people because it's a mind game that's why one can hardly predict the actual results of it. However, as a business body, you are open to a lot of customers, even though you have rules in your business, there are customers who will not do according to the rules you have. Which is why there are still students that gamble.

Evening the gambling companies will be aiming at a targeted audience, students will be the least on that list because they know there people in their majority are not earning but are dependent on a guardian or their parents for money so mostly their source of income is such that will not allow then gamble at a certain level of which most casinos make a greater chunk of their profits from hig and big stakers not the smaller stakes from gamblers like students.

People who work, businesses men and other top earners are even the most target of these casinos but the irony turns out that the middle class and the broke are the ones who patronise the casino the most in a bid to double up the little they have got already and some of them actually loose it to the casino and enrich the casinos while some of them go dead broke.

Though, I have seen with my very own eyes who there are some gambling services here in my country who dont even care to offer their services to minors.
It was the case with someone in my family who was around sixteen years old when he walked to a betting/gambling place and was able to place a bet with no questions asked and with no ID card verification. Nothing at all.

So, while it is true there are casinos who are very strict on what their target audience or population is, there are some small gambling businesses who welcome pretty much anyone with money on their hands, for the sake of money and pushing their place higher as a company, and obviously that is wrong. There is little we can do, but to educate those who we care about and not to allow our minor family members to engage on activities which can lead to psychological addiction.

Now most of the gambling is organized online. Now people do not want to participate much in offline gambling because online gambling is safe and perfect in every way, so people of all classes are now leaning towards online gambling. As you said, setting up centers near schools should be avoided, but they may not participate directly here, but they can participate in gambling through mobile devices without the knowledge of their parents and teachers, and to stop this, every parent must be aware, keep their children away from mobile phones and keep them under observation most of the time. If parents keep an eye on their children, then I think every child will follow the right path and will not take the wrong path. In our society, children are led astray due to the lack of security of parents.

And another point is that gambling are not forcing anyone to gamble and they are always doing advert for people to gamble responsibly. And there people that even with education there people that gamble without completing because they are always getting some kind of winning and when you look at some gambling sites you will noticed that it is 18 rated so that way there won't be any form of blaming because the person is old enough to make there own decision. And even people that are addicted choose to be addicted. And we are all looking for ways to make extra money but when doing that we have to make the right decision and do it correctly.
