Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

[2Pizza410000BTC]

17-18's too young to gamble. If there's some students which graduate late or early it shouldn't change the advice they shouldn't gamble. If they're mature adults they should think about gambling after they've began earning their own income from jobs.

17 to 18 year olds will be between high school and college. If they are between high school and college, then of course they should not be gambling there, they are really too young to be gambling. In short, it is important not to gamble in education because gambling does a lot of damage to education that can never be recovered. It is possible to gamble with money earned from a job, but that gambling should be for entertainment, not to make money. Even if you gamble for entertainment, it should be with very small amounts of money, such as no more than 1% to 5% of income.

You are right and in an organised society, gambling business is not supposed to be done anywhere close to people in this age bracket. Government can make effort to ensure that physical shops are not located around school premises so that the pupils are not lured into gambling through curiosity.  In my country, government do not actually have this policy in place and that could be the reason for the increase of underage gambling.

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.

It's true that students and most especially teenagers has the highest percentage when it comes to the category of people who gamblers,  Due to their quest wanting to make money quick, and opting into gambling as a potential way of getting rich quick, while forgetting the fact that such can only happen when you are lucky enough to win the jackpot. While secondly, it's also true that ever since the  development of online casinos started, it literally has triggers some students deviating from learning to gambling, simply because of immediate reward gambling gives, forgetting the true reward of learning and education. Hence, the only solution to stopping students gamble while been in school environment should be to ban use of all electronics devices while they focus on their studies.

[DaNNy001]

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

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.

Even if people are not forced to gamble just like you said these students should be shielded from things like this...we can't control everything they get exposed to but as a society we can do our part to Ensure that students don't get influenced by gambling ... Gambling addiction is a choice but at the same time these casinos can just move away from certain environments so people don't get suicidal

For me I just don't think gambling is having any effects on education or studied because there isn't anyone getting forced to gamble. Everybody gambling is doing that out of their own will therefore we shouldn't act like everybody gambling has no choice and they have to be gambling always. We can all plan our gambling life and avoid some things that can be dangerous to use but people won't want to change and it's that thing that they're being asked not to do that they'll still be doing. If gambling is affecting your education then it's your responsible to stop gambling immediately and look for alternative things to be doing.

Yes, it really does affects education/ studies, because as a student, you were sent to school to learn and make the early part of your life to be meaningful and useful to your life, since education is the bedrock of ones knowledge in other for you to be useful to yourself and the society at large.
In a school setting, it is wrong to introduce gambling to students because it will lead them astray, making them not to be focused in their academics, using their school fees to gamble and be involved in a lot of atrocities while in school mainly for those lucky ones in gambling, are now exposed to gambling will now feels they are on top of the world financially.

Gambling in school causes early addiction and renders the youths useless to themselves and the society large, therefore it should be prohibited in schools and the management should find a way of not making gambling sites available in the schools environment to the extent of students accessing the sites and getting promos from casinos basically for students because at this stage all a students needs is to focus on his career and become someone better in life before going into gambling , let every individual go into gambling at their own will not forcing them in school while they are suppose to be studying.

At a young age, they don't even understand what they are doing, so often there is no such concept as funds for education or funds for entertainment. They don't distinguish between the two and think that luck will come their way and they will quickly multiply their funds and leave the games. Not only do many lose, but they also become addicted to gambling, which has only negative consequences for young people.

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).

Parents won't always be there to correct their kids but this doesn't disprove the fact that they have a major role to play in building the character of their kids. The problem we have most times is influence, some kids are raised correctly but along the line they become negatively influenced by their peers. Parents should not be the only ones to play this role, awareness on gambling addiction should be taught in schools

I agree with you, even most boys grow up with proper family education, but when they come to school they are negatively affected by their bad friends.
We see the effect of gambling more among students, but there is no proper education system related to gambling in any school or in our society.
That is, we do not get any education from school to stay away from gambling, they do not have any education system to stay away from its addiction, which is the biggest problem.
The responsibility of a child's guardian is the most for their proper growth, but at the same time our society also has to work for this.
Educational systems need to be put in place in society and gambling-related negative effects need to be presented in schools, so that students understand how risky gambling really is, so that they can decide to stay away from gambling on their own.

At this age, there is usually little money, and if you manage to put something aside, it is just money without big goals, just money. If this money is spent on gambling, it will be sad because it is unlikely that an inexperienced player will be able to win anything, it is better for them to spend it on something they need than just lose. But I also think that a student will not gamble with all the money he has, because it is difficult to be left without money and no one wants to allow this.

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

betting companies that are caught specifically luring students into gambling should be heavily fined, closed and their owners charged. these kinds of betting companies know what they are doing to these students and they don't care as long as they can profit from them.

seeing that 30% of university students are involved in gambling in some way is concerning and I wouldn't doubt if that number continues to rise.

It is not a good news at all for any gambling company  putting the future of any student at risk for their own selfish interests, it is very unfair and requires quick actions from the authorities that will put a stop to this madness.

Situation like this sometimes can make a child to start leaving an unusual lifestyle by stealing from their parents or guidance just to meet up their gambling activities.

If you pay close attention, before opening a casino or gambling account, it is clearly written that no one under the age of 18 should participate in gambling. If gambling or cigarette companies state in their policies that minors should not participate in gambling, it would not be right to directly blame the gambling authorities for the loss of education. If students ruin their valuable careers by participating in gambling on their own, then I would definitely say that it is primarily the fault of the guardian and the student. Why would he participate in gambling while he is still a student?

As parents, we fully understand that we can't supervise them all day, as we're also busy working, and we can't leave that work; we work for them (the children). A child should understand this. However, a child will never understand this unless they receive a good education from their parents from an early age. Therefore, I agree with what you said that building a child's character is very important. And I believe the benchmark of a parent's success in educating their children is when the child continues to behave well even outside of parental supervision.

Continuing with the world of education or schools, educational institutions are places where parents entrust their children to receive the education they need. However, it's very unfortunate, considering the education system in my country, the quality of educational institutions and teaching staff is currently considered quite poor, so it still falls far short of what parents expect from their children.

Gambling companies should at least give concessions in some places, especially for those who are apprentices. At present, all these institutions are focusing only on their business without paying attention to any regulations, due to which a large part of the apprentices are getting involved in it. Although it is not much of a problem for those who are adults, it is having a serious negative impact on those who are young. Of course, the government needs to give due importance to this matter and improve the situation.

[Oluwa-btc]

I think the best remedy to this is banning gambling in the country Uganda cause there's no way one can serve two masters at a time. And looking at the rate at which the young ones are energetic about gambling i think utshigh time the government of that country look into this matter to reduce the high records of gambling activities by students more especially.

I think the point was that gambling with money that had been saved not just during student days, but set aside for education, is a double problem, because in many countries college or university education is quite expensive, so if a student loses this money, they will most likely have to drop out if they don't have a plan to earn money in other ways. At this age, gambling of any kind should be ruled out, whether it is just for entertainment or, even more so, for earning money.

The government needs to take their part seriously to prevent creating more problems especially if the involve parties are those young people on their jurisdiction, if situation unable to control eventually those young minds will turned to crime creating parties, we all know that addictions to gambling push those people to do uncontrolled crimes just to please and satisfied their desire to gamble.

I agree. As long as they are still students, I think gambling should be set aside. There's a ruling about setting a casino far away from schools, and that's to avoid students being urged to use their money to gamble. College students do handle the money, and if ever that person gets a crazy thought of doubling his money, he might gamble it.

It's better if the gambling dens are far away from schools, so no student will even try to mess with their allowances or the tuition money that is meant to be paid as fast as possible.

Students and jobless persons don't have any business to gamble because they're not earning money, you need money to gamble and the money should be your own. Students specifically who are underaged shouldn't be involved in gambling even when they have money, they should concentrate on their education at that stage. Gambling addiction can ruin studies, the student will be physically and emotionally unstable to concentrate on they see studies. In this age of online gambling it's not easy to restrict people from gambling that is why every student need to make personal decisions not to engage in gambling.
