As for me, parents still have the responsibility to take control of their kids' actions while they're still young. We should educate our kids about how gambling could ruin lives because of its risks. We all know that teenagers nowadays couldn't make firm decisions and they mostly depend on what they see on the internet but parents should guide them. We must serve as their eye-opener about the reality of teenage gambling addiction.
Parents really have too many responsibilities and quite a lot of daily work, a small talk with their children is almost quite difficult in this modern and technologically advanced age, especially in countries with developed economies, most of the living environment provides children with a sense of independence and rely as little on their parents as possible. This kind of education allows the next generation to automatically try harder, gambling opportunities are also many due to this independence and this method but I feel that there are very few early addicts, the sense of self-control of these children is very high

For me, it's better to get addicted now than experiencing it while you already have responsibilities like wife and kids. When you are just a teenager, you will have limited funds to gamble, and eventually, you will get over addiction when you found another hobby. It's bad when you got addicted to casinos while the money meant for your family is spent to gambling.
Being a teen as I was when I started gambling, it does not really bothersome when I lose as I still have my friends with me after the game. The money will still be spent on the vodka we'll drink.
There is so much more to do for a teen in fact they will still find some girls and screw or make love. They're more likely going to find other things to get addicted to after gambling than forget life. It's not like their life is over and becomes hopeless when they gamble at an early stage of life. Teens that experience hardship as early as 14 grow smarter in life unless they really like to end up in the nuthouse because they joined the wrong crowd.
I think he will mean it with his intentions. He also asked his dad for help to block gambling sites.
Maybe there is, but in my country it seems like elementary age children, they only know to play a game. No cases have been revealed in my country so far regarding underage gambling or children of primary or high school age. I think they start to understand gambling when they enter high school. Besides my country is a country that prohibits gambling, maybe they are aware. This is just my thoughts, I'm just describing me when I was in high school. Not many are interested in gambling, they are interested in motor modifications.
It's surprising that you have gone through this at the age of 14, it's not easy what you have gone through, some adults have a hard time getting out of their addiction, at a very young age you got out from falling into addiction, there is a youngster who is also a victim of depression because of gambling, there should be an intervention by the parents because the youngster has no one to go through but their parents, parents should know what are the warning signs so they can take action and save their kids.

You cannot prevent it if the parents themselves cannot control or limit the activities of their children. Children are very smart in this day and age, and if they get their hands on something that they really want, they will do everything to learn things related to it and bypass some restrictions. We don't need KYCs and stricter verification rules. We need their parents to be vigilant and take action on their children's activities
Ten or fifteen years ago that is not the case, children are playing games outside and hanging out with friends and watch movies and their favorite TV shows but since the creation of computers and the internet, children have made a big shift instead of playing outside they prefer to play games in front of the computer.
This is the age of accessibility where everything can be access and everything are online, and if parents cannot monitor their children there's a possibility that they discover these online gambling sites, online gambling among underage is very alarming and parents should be aware of it, only parents can stop them, OP is lucky that he got out without his parent's knowing that he is deep in gambling.

Betting is not bad as long as you limit yourself on it, however, you'll never notice it became your habit until you've lost too much on it, that's when you'll think of a plan on how to get rid of that addiction. Getting into the gambling world at a very young age is not a problem, because you'll easily admit it and will eventually ask for help compare if an adult get addicted on gambling which is hard.
Adult mostly have a high pride, they'll never admit that they are in a very critical state (or addiction) because their mindset would always be "I'm too old and I can take care of myself, I don't need help" something like that, that's why they are hopeless case most of the time.

So if you have a problem with gambling, such as addiction, gambling underage, or in my case both, please seek help. Do everything in your power to stop. It will improve your life drastically. So next time you think about gambling, instead of gambling, call an old friend and catch up, or go outside and go for a nice walk. Have a good one! 
Normal for underaged people to easily get hooked with gambling addiction because we arent really that mature on dealing up with things specially with those real gambling games.Of course on where things do becomes more worst if you do really tolerate it even you do already observed or you are already aware that it is gradually becoming worst because this is how addiction works or affect someone on where they do really able to commit out mistake.Gambling activity do really start up from curiosity then small things turns out to be bigger ones but it wont really be directly be called as a mistake if you do know on how to handle up your finances.
Gambling industry is a profitable business which it isnt surprising that it is one of the most biggest businesses nowadays which does simply means that there are lots of people who do get hooked by it.
There are lots of addicted gamblers who do continue up to generate profits into this casino owners.
We are responsible for our own actions imho.You wont get addicted if you do just play in moderation and wont tend go beyond your limits or capacity then you should be fine.
Good thing you were able to seek help and you are willing to digest the advice of the members here. At 14 years old, there's a lot of things you can enjoy, you don't have to think of money yet as you are still a minor and you can ask your parent's financial support.
Try to go on activities that are not addictive, gambling is really addictive especially for minors who are still innocent of how this world moves.

Gambling at a young age can lead them to have an addiction when they grow and once they are addicted to gambling, it will be hard to solve since they know to gamble since they are young. Your idea to call an old friend and catch up or go outside is better than playing gambling together in your room because you will see that you have many things that both of you can do other than just playing gambling. If you can learn about trading, that will be better since you can make a profit and have the investment when you graduate in the future. It is better to prepare for your future than to get addicted when you graduate.
Indeed due to online gambling accessibility through the use of Internet. This is a common problem right now since many crypto casino doesn't require KYC(a sort of pros and cons). I wonder how come this underage get funds to sustain there online gambling addiction because during my childhood, My parents didn't gave me too much money that worthy to spend on this kind of expensive activity. Maybe parenting is the root of this problem since an underage will never access gambling with strict supervision.
Good for you that you quit already. Maybe try to share to the details on how you quit gambling. It will be more helpful.
Many of the underage people nowadays don't necessarily need their parents to give them money before can play gambling since there are so many ways for them to make money online even in the forum here like the OP. But what they should know is that, too much of everything is not good and they should not be too desperate to make money as what you tend to lose in playing gambling maybe more than what you will get at the end of the day. Is better to get addicted to investing in crypto currency that in playing gambling. Good for you that you quit already. Maybe try to share to the details on how you quit gambling. It will be more helpful.
At 14 years old, I don't understand why it's easy for you to test gambling. Most people at that age even that are even exposed to gambling are not interested since there are lots of things they can do like video games, computer games, mobile games.
At that age, they won't bother registering on the site and deposit a money. How can they deposit money on crypto in the first place? The exchange needs KYC before you can make a deposit with your fiat. And even before that, where are you getting your money?

OP is just an example of those kids who were not just a normal kid like video games or any game related on online but OP is having a deep curiosity about gambling. He is being a keen observer about gambling and with a strong guts to take risk to try gambling. Underage gambling is alarming but we can't blame a child being exposed to gambling site because they can just found it online, they can be learn about it trough online platform that shows how to learn about it. It is good to know that OP have had found his way out of being engaged in gambling activities.
I wonder if you're living with your own now OP or you're still with your parent/s, if the latter how come they aren't aware on this and where does your money comes from? Sometimes others can't escape the current rhythm if you're on that stage and it will take courage and strong mind to get out of that addiction. The best thing is to have some guardian/s watching over teenagers regarding the matter.
Tell me something @QuickAccount... did you have any outside incentive that helped you make this decision to stop playing?
You said you stopped recently, have you ever been tempted in any way to get back into the game? If so, how did you resist it?

And this decision is very correct. There is no denying that gambling has a negative psychological effect for underages. Gambling is just entertainment for those who have a steady income. Casinos that truly respect gambling etiquette only accept customers over the age of 18 (even on the stake. com site where he plays).

well he already explained everything happened when he was too fond of gambling in csgo . until finally he became more interested in gambling at the casino, maybe at that age I was more interested in in-game items than risk real money
btw at the age of 14, I don't think there is any special job to earn money unless he is a young business man or creative entrepreneur.
Hey guys! I have recently taken steps to get out of gambling at age 14 so I want to share some information I got along the way!

You said you stopped recently, have you ever been tempted in any way to get back into the game? If so, how did you resist it? Because I think the temptation to go back is much more difficult than the moment you decide to stop.
In any case, congratulations for your strength of will and also for sharing your experience with us.
Thankfully, you learned your lesson from the past thread that you made.
I have been a player before of an MMORPG that buys their premium cards to be top up-ed at their game in exchange for items. Yes, kind of old school, right? I bet you didn't experience that.
$10 worth scratch cards to play the game for a week and some premium items to be traded with co-players in exchange for weapons and other equipment. Or, just in game money and save it for later.
Nowadays, gambling in game was different because it's about skins to look cooler while in our era we use those money for strengthening the character.
Spending money for your visual pleasure, yes it's still considered gambling but sadly that's it for return and no money will come back.
