But they can install the games on their computer or mobile phones so that makes them can play the games. I have already seen that young people addicted to games, and some of them are too busy to play those games. I think many games that can be a gambling game for the kids without we know because we don't have much time to take care of our children. I hope that our kids can understand how dangerous gambling games, and we can give attention to them while they are playing any games they like.

True. I have a niece who got addicted to using mobile phones most of the time cause both of his parents were often at work. I was really surprised. The kid was searching stuff he didn't even know about, even installing games that he didn't understand. Note that the kid is still not that skilled in reading, and wow I am surprised at how his hands can even manage to find those games. Not to mention the youtube videos he is actually finding. Ngl, YT is a bad influence. He often watches streamers that curse out loud, often leading to him actually copying it which is kind of sad.

I won't blame the kid nor the parents tbh, a phone has that kind of option naturally anyway. I just hope YT has some way to actually censor it lmao. I'm still relatively surprised by the age of 5 restriction though. I mean, the age restriction totally loses its purpose with that.

I think age restriction in gambling is not strictly implemented. People will always find ways to gamble if they want. Here in our country there are a lot of minors who are gambling in the street and even in crypto since KYC is not required. What I find hilarious is making 5 years old kid being legal to gamble. During this age they should learn how to value money not to take risk to earn money.

Then thats your country's weakness to not implementing the laws about gambling,I must admit that there are some guerilla type of gambling happening in the street but law enforcer must be there to take them down.
Also some may be can hide butt hose who will be caught make sure to let them suffer the required law so others will not follow their steps.

Youth should not engage in any gambling platform that's why laws are implemented to secure those gambling casino. There are a lot of people who teach their siblings to gamble and that's pretty bad for their financial state. There are families who encounters financial issue and the main reason is that their father spend so many time in gambling. Most especially the kids will adopt what their parents is doing, gambling is uncontrollable and youth is also uncontrollable. That's why it should start inside the house, teach your kids to explore about important things and not in the things where they mental health will be affected. Age limit is necessary so that there are no underage can access the gambling platform, also identification is the key to prevent dummy account to enter the platform.

In your local.

The local government should implement the law with fang and remind the parents of those minors that will be found gambling in the streets.. But for known countries, the first world countries, cmiiw, they do implement rules strictly for age limits.

Few people would always exists who would not listen to it . But we need to look at major picture and have a age restriction and if it is followed or not. If not and they come under law purview then we know how much penalty they would have to pay depends upon country and could also result into imprisonment and this would spoil their career. Also, child would not understand what money means unless they start earning themselves when they grow up.

One additional problem is gambling in games. For most Apps there is not age restriction. Even if there is almost all children are able to overcome these restrictions. As a consequence young people get addicted to in-game-buys and other mechanisms. However, as the provider states, the games are not designed to appeal to children under the age of 16. This is contrary to the presentation in friendly, bright colors and the comic look. Marketing also contradicts this statement: For instance Coin Master is targeted by influencers like Bianca Heinicke. These people are popular within younger age groups.

Many games for kids are somehow simulating gambling. It is true that they may develop gambling habits during their young age by playing online games, arcade games, and some video games. Coins used in a certain game can be bought by money too. So how can we avoid this, it is crucial for them to be informed and warned about gambling. And it is the responsible of the parent or anyone who is responsible to the child. Aside from infroming them, they need to teach the kid how to stay in control in playing video games, it is one of the most important thing in this world that can be applied to everything, being in control.

I agree with you BTCliz! Children at young age get involved with online games, and in some of them you need to gamble! Is it for some in-game-coins, or is items, or game itself is gambling oriented.
There are many gambling games for free for android, from slots to roulette, for free!
We can't stop all children from gambling, I guess each parent is responsible for it's own kid. We can have age restrictions, but in same time we need to be aware that we are gamblers and that our
kids needs to be free to try that if they want. I have a kid, and I will let her gamble once she is aware of what gambling is, in what age that will happen, I don't know! My kids are between 2 and 6 years
old, I think I have time before they get involved in sports and after that in betting, it's the same way I passed before!
There should be age restrictions, but before all others parents should be responsible for their child! Not every kid is the same, but who can know kids better than their parents!

The perceptions of gaining money in this kind of ways in life will be established as they will think that gambling is a good source of earning money.

Correct. It will be a very bad mistake if the children believe that gambling is the best option to earn a regular income for their life. I doubt they will underestimate the education and advice to get real jobs for their future. Except they can build a gambling company, I am worried if they only rely on gambling for their future.

Quote from: joshy23 on April 10, 2020, 08:09:13 PM

if they will be allow to gamble from their young minds, it will be difficult to change them once they've got addicted.

Indeed. Being addicted from a too early age and make gambling be a daily activity (habit), will be too risky for children. The children will be severe addicts and must be hard to recover. Well, I think the government should take attention to this problem. It is a serious case and cannot be handled by parents only.

Children don't know about the money. But even if the children don't know about the money, they may still get another bad impact from playing gambling repeatedly. They will make gambling be their habit because playing on it regularly. It is not a good thing for children, they can be addicted too early to gambling. Addiction from a very young age will be hard to recover, this will harm their future.

Children mostly can't justify what's good and what's not in life they should be well guided if they will be allow to gamble from their young minds

Yup, they will bring it even in school. Just like my classmate in grade school. We always play everything with the involvement of money because of him. He always urge us to gamble with his money so we can double up our allowance to buy a certain toy after school. Now I think he is cheating, he always win. We are always the losers. We think its cool back then, but that's gambling.

I also remember my classmate in college, we ended in guidance office because we got caught by one of our professors. He is the most punished since he was the one who brought the playing cards to the school.
I can tell that he is addicted to gambling because he always tell us that he started at a very young age and he learned playing to his father. So I guess one of the main factor is also the environment.

As I have also tried to see if this is real or not, I research about it and yes at the age of 5, they are legally allowed to gamble.
It's hard to think whether the kids know what they are doing or where they get the money to play. But I think they should be more strict when it comes to the legal age of allowed gamblers since it is not proper for kids to grow in gambling.

Seriously? I can't believe that, a 5 year old kid cannot think well, they are not full developed mentally and besides how they are going to play in casino gambling, how could they bet, they are so young, but thankfully they implemented age restrictions to protect our kids.

I think the legal age is 5 years old, but it is possible that they still have some restrictions like they are only allowed if they are with their guardian. Also, I don't think a 5-year-old kid will go to the gambling house by itself without knowing anything.

I think 5 years is not a good age for gambling as gambling needs mental maturity to get profit or to earn game so better wait and let our kids stay away from gaming yet when they are the age of playing or they should focus on the study as at our place people of 18 years are allowed to gamble as they are adult and mature enough to handle the misfortune of unexpected loss.

At a young age if a kid is exposed to gambling, that kid has a high chance to become a real gambler when it gets old. A life wherein it is all about gambling. We know how gambling affects the life of some adults. How much more to a 5 years old? Even though a 5 years old has the mental maturity to play, he /she must not exposed that early.
18 ? A college student in my country. We cannot say it would cause good. Because there many student who have lost their life in drugs, alcohols, smoke, and gambling.

I think on their country they are supporting the people to make more gambling because sometimes some of the people even playing gambling on their house with their children they learned by just watching and some of them are willing to learn about the gambling world, and soon they become a good gambler only earning a lot of money by their skills but still it is better if there is a guide came from the tutor or mentor or especially to the parents so the child does not bring too much pressure in playing gambling also it is money related so it might risk and even if you lose a lot of market income it can cause too much depression and regrets.

That is why the age restriction in most of the countries are 18 and above because those persons are now mature and they can now fully control their emotions and their thoughts. Those countries who have regulations where the children can play gambling will have a bad effect especially if those children will become addicted to it. It will become a big problem because those children doesn't have fully control their emotions and thoughts that can affect their psychology.

Yes, addiction at an early age might get continued throughout the entire life and the young minds might go unproductive as the mind won't think anything out of gambling. These days such kind of young people are very low in number. They always have their limits set, and the same makes them consider it an entertaining and fun source rather than losing big and getting into frustration.

they should also do some kinda study for those young ones who got involved in gambling and what they have become. pretty interesting to know about what happened in their adult age!

Before implementing some rules, they should have definite research regarding this before allowing it.

I doubt Malawi done anything of it.

Problem gambling in adolescents: what are the psychological, social and financial consequences?

The research was done in Canada with 366 participants. The study shows that most of the affected gender of gambling addiction are males. Students with poor school achievement and grades, not financially stable, have problems in behavior and their own social life are those who exposed themselves to gambling.
