...Children really need to limit playing digital games for them to enjoy physical activities.
Childhood is a very important stage in a child's life as any habit picked up at that stage by a child can follow him throughout life, that is why it is important for there to a regulation to most activities they are involved as well.
I see no wrong in it as well, parents may have ignored that aspect of parenting and the government is helping to put it under control maybe after an analysis of the number of people i like to refer as children in adult bodies struggling to mature into someone that has control over their excesses.
If a child is not thought control to habits like video games when he is young, who is to say he will know how to keep under check his gambling activities when he has come of age, and maybe now a gambler as well?
Taking a break for children from playing video games is necessary because they can easily becoming addicted to the games and do not want to stop playing. We can do that to gambling and that is a must thing that we should do before we are late to realize that we have already become addicted to gambling. We can try to take a break for a while, especially if we get a losing streak and that will help us reduce the emotion that we got from the games. By taking a break, we can calm ourselves down and see that we do not have to continue playing gambling if we think that it will make us in trouble.
This is a good idea to prevent children to be prone from so much engagement in playing video games, here in my country even the young ones with an age between 12-18 were very vulnerable in video games that they could stay awake all night for the online video games. To be honest this is alarming since too much playing video games (sleepless nights, inactive daily activities) could cause serious health risk to a child. China just made a good law to protect the children from a possible risks that they may get from too much exposure on video games.
in League of Legends there's a reminder of how long you've been playing and they give you a 30 minute break. In another game CABAL, they have reminders on how long you've been playing and they will disconnect you when it's been too long already
Interesting, I didn't know.
so I think that regulation could work especially with children. In the case of gambling, it can still work, given it's not that long of a break and it's not a cockblock type of break.
Children should not gamble. They basically gamble by lying about their age (hence breaking the rules).
The block could work, but it also has the chance to rise frustration to highest level, for example if one is on a winning strike, or just lost a big amount. Gambling is adrenaline. If you block the user somewhere "in the middle" it could be bad: from accusation that the casino is cheating to people leaving it.
And if it's only displayed somewhere, even if it's highly visible, I expect exactly the most hooked ones who need disconnect will ignore that.

Well, China is not the entire world. The video games law would have no chance in a democratic country.
Also it's expected - I know that sadly it doesn't always happen, still, it's expected - that the gamblers are mature people, hence people who know to take a break now and then and clear their minds (yeah, this doesn't always happen either).]
Recently China passed a law that says that there's a break for children for playing videogames, I like this regulation because it helps kids reconnect with physical world and at the same time make them not dependent or addicted to the virtual space. Now here's my question, can we do that to gambling too, it can probably help the people to take a break and cool their heads off when they're on a losing streak or it can also be a time for some reflection as to when did it all go wrong for them to lead to this point.

Well, if I am not wrong all kind of gambling games are completely banned in China except the lottery which is run by the government itself so they already have strict regulations towards such kind of activities but in reality people are travelling to the other countries from China just for their gambling since its also a form of an entertainment. Instead of banning anything completely the government should regulate it so the minors so called kids can be saved while the remaining people can do that from their comfort zone itself. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/08/31/tech/china-ban-video-games-minor-intl-hnk/index.html?espv=1
I think it can probably work but wouldn't people that's gambling would find a way to circumvent the pause so they can get their daily fix? I mean that could render all the work in that regulation useless since they can find a way to get a loophole. I feel like this could be a good regulation but the gambling industry will definitely hate and try to fight it to not become a regulation.

nah, the hell with that. Parents should be the ones to educate their kids, not the damn govtbtw, just recently south korea got rid of their stupid gaming law; South Korea Abolishing Controversial Gaming Shutdown Law
but of course the chinese govt keeps pushing for more control over the citizens, ffs!
Now here's my question, can we do that to gambling too
not a chance...the gambling industry moves too much money, a govt can regulate it further in order to keep getting a piece of the pie, but to enforce such a restrictive law, even if it's for the "well being of the kids" (we all know that's not case, it's about control), not a chance. And, again, let the people do whatever the hell they want with their life!

To be honest i don't really think that this law that china recently introduced is that bad. There are a lot of kids, and also very small kids, that are basically spending every free minute of their day in front of the smart phone or some other device to play some stupid mobile games that have zero value in terms of learning of increasing your general knowledge or stuff like that. Back in my childhood days we played at least warcraft 2 or diablo 2 on the PC
.It is something different though to introduce a law that limits the time that you are allowed to gamble, because gambling is only allowed for adults and i don't think any country would introduce a law that basically says adults how to spend their free time.

I do not yet see how this is connected to gambling, the law is for children not for adults, only 18+ people can be able to gamble, if any under age is seen gambling in countries that support gambling, any adult involved can be punished because only adult should and able to gamble. Also know that China is just a country, the world is full of several countries with different laws, China is not ruling the world, all the governments in the world will always have their differences, in a true democratic countries, there is no law that will be passed that will against gambling because people should have the freedom to be able to decide on their own to gamble or not.
I don't think that business owners will agree to that, knowing that they will have fewer players and less playing time. It's not going to be gone entirely, but the chances are that they rely on people who are always playing and not those who just go on it to try and have fun. I think having mandatory breaks on the actual game would be more helpful than taking breaks because some don't care about it. If it's a mandatory one, maybe it could reduce the addicted people and increase rage in people. Perhaps it can be a choice for the players.

Video games for children is different from gambling by adults. Children really need to limit playing digital games for them to enjoy physical activities while we, adults, already know how to control things. Most of us do gambling as a break to enjoy and have fun so as for me, we don't have to take a break from it as long as we know our limitations.

While it may seem like a good idea, China has a long history of top down leadership that didn't really turn out too well in the long run. Just look at Mao's suggestion to kill all the birds, because they were supposedly eating crops (nevermind the huge government mismanagement of agriculture) and then they had plagues of insects cause massive devastation. It may seem like a good idea to limit kids, but as long as it is part of an otherwise healthy lifestyle, gaming can actually help expand the mind, create great knowledge and flex cognitive abilities - creating stimulation that they might not otherwise get. It's nice to think back to a much cleaner and more carefree world that older generations had before computers, but time has moved on. It may end up actually stunting China's youth into the future, so may not be the benefit they think they are imposing. Like many aspects of Chinese society, it's all a kind of creepy big-brother controls your life type mentality.

Except, if China performs data accurately and cooperates with online gaming parties.If they do a photo directly on any online gaming site in the registration accompanied by a live photo, there will know the truth, register.
Why would we want to do that? It's like the old phrase of "God intention, bad law." Think about it, the only way to restrain gambling addiction/urge/self-destruction is with self-control. If the timeout imposed without consent, people will find a way to bypass the law. Thus, the law becomes meaningless. Moreover, it can be used by the corrupt government to punish their opposition. Imagine getting in jail because someone accuses you of playing video games (or gambling). It just like the death penalty for corruptors, when the government is corrupt, it only being used to punish or get rid of someone they don't like.

I think it's pretty good, maybe we also often do it just unstructured and not based on advice from any party. If we gamble, we should also rest. Well, of course, we want to know what kind of pause that China applies to children, maybe we can collaborate with their respective parents so that they can schedule how many hours to play games and how many hours to stop playing games. Then how can we stop all gambling that is done without certain rules and time limits?
Maybe what you mean is that you are more in control of the gambling situation when you lose in a row. So, after you stop gambling, go out and rest first to release mental stress, so that you are much more refreshed when gambling.
Of course, taking a break/pause is beneficial. Gambling should really take place in a fairly good condition not only physically, but in a much calmer mental state. In China, this is done for the sake of children's motor development so that they interact more outside because for children this stage of development is important compared to playing games on gadgets without interaction with the natural environment. Ideally, children like that are their world.

The thing is.. in theory all is great hence doesn't have to be fixed. And in reality, even if the problem would be admitted, it would be hard to fix. I expect though that such users are a minority, hence the problem is not that big.
