This Is How Social Media Casino Ads Are Destroying Kids’ Lives!

I agree, it's not even worth it to give independent access to them because they're still kids and they don't understand anything. If someone gives phone to a kid then there should always be some type of parental controls on it to monitor each activity of the children, and if they move towards wrong direction then a parent should stop them.

I will say here that these digital devices should not be given to them unless it is necessary for their studies because currently it has been seen among underage children that they are exploring gambling sites or porn sites through VPN or proxy. In this case, we need to keep a little strict parental control, otherwise we will ruin the future of children by giving them digital devices.

It is better to say than to keep silent. Gambling ads can be very tempting, and this is the main reason parents have an important role to play in teaching their children the negative aspects of gambling, which can result from a lack of understanding.

There is no guarantee that every child will avoid gambling, even if parents try to provide an understanding of it, but children are likely to follow their parents' instructions. Many people start gambling and become addicted to it simply because they don't have a parental background that can guide them to be on the right path.

Another problem is that not all parents can convey the message to their children correctly. They lack the right words and the necessary life experience. What will happen if they tell a child "No"? What will be the effect? ​​Most likely, children will ignore it and, out of spite, will meddle in what's forbidden. This requires a specific approach—one that can set them on the right path, and that's far from easy.

It is not easy to totally keep your underaged children off your phone except they don't know your password or you are holding your phone for 24 hours, they will always find a way to access social media and sites. In your presence they might be playing games on your phone but behind you they will explore gambling and porn sites without your knowledge. The best ways to discourage underaged gambling is not to buy them smart phones and to educate them about the dangers of gambling addiction, convince them to ignore such adverts on social media.

In my personal point of view, I think that if parents want to keep their children under proper control, they can, for example, in this case, they can restrict adult websites on the phone's internet from the router's IP, in this case, from gambling to porn sites, and besides, there are various features on the phone to use.
However, the problem is that most parents are not aware of this and cannot use it properly, and due to this, it is currently seen that most children are becoming addicted to gambling sites and porn sites.

Just like me, the only time on which my kid bought a mobilephone is on the time that he had touched up highschool but in gradeschool he had never held a phone and i wont be allowing it. Having some means of communication nowadays is very crucial and actually we cant be able to control whether they do able to access some sites without us knowing but of course it will be just that depending on how you do raise them and set up some restrictions. Speaking about dealing up with gambling then in todays social media on which it is that more rampant on seeing online because of these casinos or companies are using up their funds on marketing on which this isnt surprising. It all matters now on how you would make your child be at least having the awareness or guidance on how these ads are totally dangerous and should be avoided once they would be able to encounter.

This is part of parenting on which you would be needing up to guide your kids into the right path because having no proper guidance will really be leading into these kind of possible situations on which it will be leading into your kids lives to be messed up.

We are in the era where kids want to do everything they are seeing on the television and on media and it's not even about doing or mimicking the good things they see on social media. Kids loves doing the wrong things like listening to dirty music, following porn artistes and watching all kind of rubbish trending videos that is making them happy and want to portray similar behaviors.

it’s the parents’ responsibility to make sure their kids don’t come across such posts but even if they do so the kids would not have access to such websites there are ways to track your kids’ device and limit the apps and time they use those apps

...How can social media platforms help protect children from seeing gambling ads?

Each social platform has the right to set restrictions on the distribution and advertising of gambling games or by restricting the display of advertising to persons under the age of 18. In addition, parents should also take an active part to ensure that content designed for an adult audience is not visible on their children's gadgets by installing parental controls.

It’s very hard to track everything what your kids will do online especially on social media which kids can create their own account by faking their age for their account which content like this will show.

I think social media such as Meta should make their platform free from gambling advertisements or have a separate version for kids just like the youtube kids app.

On facebook, it’s very hard to restrict this for kids.

I have a simple question to ask.  What are children at a tender age doing on Social Media?  How does it help them and why do they have an account over there.  It seems like children are treated nowadays as if they are fully responsible adults.  If you let them sit on a website definitely not meant for an audience of children, expect them to see things definitely not meant for an audience of children.

Nowadays young people are certainly no longer strange with the name of cell phones, gadgets, the internet and social media, many things are now done online also there are some schools whose subjects are held online also sometimes the teachers assign to make presentations that must be displayed and of course the students look for learning on the internet. And with gambling participating in utilizing the internet as well as social media, it is natural that many young people see and even do it. Even children who are still underage are already smart to operate cellphones, maybe it's the fault of parents who are too free for their children to access cellphones.

That's true, although I see a way to split the screen so that activities on one phone can be monitored with the second phone, it doesn't guarantee that we can monitor them all day long, as we have our own activities that cannot be eliminated. And even if parents provide strict supervision, children can still occasionally slip out of sight. Even if we don't give children their own phones, I think social interactions can still expose them to gambling. And yes, creating fake accounts is possible because nowadays most people are smart enough to bypass online restrictions.

What you said about a platform free of gambling ads makes sense, but I think a separate version would be more practical. On the other hand, some casino sites offer an APK version, but this doesn’t prevent children from seeing it. The reality is that gambling ads are everywhere.

It is very important to always keep children and youth alert to preserve the future generation. Because day by day the influence of gambling and gambling propaganda is increasing to such an extent that it is leading the future generation towards destruction. Gambling is presented on social media in a way that gives financial advice to the youth and the youth think of gambling as a source of income and spend time and money there which destroys their career. Therefore, these issues should not be considered normally but should be taken seriously and the youth should always be kept in the eye.

Yes, it's a fact , children need to be Closely supervised because they are very easy to manipulate I'm not afraid of Casino ads, they're truly the most harmless thing compared to other dangers that encourage them to do Other kinds of things I'd prefer that a child, for entertainment purposes , should have their PlayStation of any version.

The thing is when you decide to keep it off from them, they might still have access to it. It could be through thier colleagues more especially if they are still in school, remember other parents might not be as discipline as you're that is why I don't buy this idea of not giving them access to digital device. The best way to deal with issues like this is by telling them about gambling and also inform them about the risk. this way, even in your absent they will be afraid to visit gambling sites, I think this is more preferable than not giving them access to digital device.
