On the notification panel of my android device and that of many other devices of people in my locale that i have come across, I noticed too many pop up ads about one gambling site or the other, which with a click, you will find yourself in the interface of an online casino or betting site asking for you to sign up and get huge bonuses, I also observed that when using the chrome browser on my cell phone to surf some websites on the internet, I am forcefully redirected to some gambling and betting websites that opens up on the tab as well.

Android and our browser are using an intelligent tracker to track your surfing preference, just like they do on Facebook if you've been surfing gambling sites and click those casino ads the device and browser will suggest sites that you are likely interested to click and browse.

I'm concerned for the underaged and how easy these things have become so exposed to them. I did a little research as to the statistics of underaged gamblers for last year, and according to an article, "39% of 11-16-year olds have bet their own money" as at when published in October 2020.

The answer is monitoring, parents should monitor their children, what they surf, their interest and who they talk online, unless they can take care themselves and they are old enough, parents should take the lead in monitoring their children

Quote

Just like pornographic sites, I don't think online gambling sites and casino's can fully checkmate underaged users that sign up, and as a result, unfortunately i see the number of underaged gamblers worldwide to increase significantly by October this year.

What are your thoughts?, What are the possible solutions to the problem of the rising number of online underaged gamblers?

They cannot control they just assume that those who will register to understand enough what they are signing up, they will only know it once they ask KYC.

If they're gambler at such a young age, they're going to need some government intervention because clearly the parents can't handle the children and guide them towards the right path in life. We need to teach would be parents and even parents that it's okay to monitor online activities of their children so as to prevent them from being introduced in vices that can be harmful to their formative years and can result in having a bad adulthood.

This can only be prevented if the casinos will ask for a KYC which should not be the first option in crypto gambling since we know, we value our identity and we love to stay private but if those underaged gamblers increases, better to implement this one so we can still save their lives even if their parents are not helping at all. This is alarming, gambling will just ruin their life government should do something about it especially now that the world runs most of the time online.

I doubt that KYC can stop young people from playing gambling because they will figure out how to bypass the KYC process. Many ways they can use, including borrowing their parents, uncle, aunt or other adult people to completed the KYC verifications and mostly, their parents will not know about that. The thing that their parents can do is just watching, monitoring, and observing their children when they use their gadget and always use a SafeSearch applied on their gadget so when they search for the thing that they should not know before they grow up, they will not get anything.

It has been very common, we can see many advertisements about gambling in games, videos, websites, and mostly in online games.
Of course, everyone can see it and many underaged may be interested in that kind of advertisement, you know they always say big won and jackpot, so many people will be attracted to that sweet promises.
But in fact, advertisements will be always advertisements.

Overall, this is the challenge of our era, kids can use gadgets much better than us sometimes. They have their own smartphone moreover during this pandemic, they are always engaged with smartphones where they can connect to any website and YouTube that they want.
And here is the role of parents. We must know what our children are doing, visiting, and also seeing. We may not be able to control and monitor them 24 hours. But at least, we can check them every time we can.
And the most important thing also is paying attention to them, giving more attention and affection to them. And of course, giving them understanding about what sites that they are probably curious to visit. If it is about gambling, tell them about it, about the risks that may be got if they are still kids and playing gambling.

Well advertisement today can be seen in any social media platform, it can be in a banner ads, video advertisement and others. It's a very challenging to every parent today to control their children because mobile gadgets today were became an essential to every children because of the need to their education and due to trend also. It's very challenging to them to monitor the daily activities of the children in their gadgets but one thing that they can do is to educate their child what are the thing that they must avoid though it's inevitable that gambling advertisement will popped up on any site they would open.

It's the parents that should be the first line of defense when it comes to this kind of stuff, they're the closest to the kid so that means that they can monitor what they do, some might say that you're invading their privacy but it's a good parenting to monitor their online activities because you want what's best for them.

Most of the teaching of social media now is not really helpful when it comes to our children where some of them say that teaching your kids right or wrong is not really advisable because you stealing their own experience to learn with themselves. well, their logic is not suitable when you let your children do what they want, all they think is they can get everything they want and no one can stop them on that no matter right or wrong they won't hesitate to do it as long as they can do so. That's why we as a parent need to be vigilant on how we raise our kids and as soon as we see something wrong, we need to stop them for being addicted in some habit where they first found it just for mere entertainment.

Parents have limitations on how long they can monitor their children. As they can't watch them 24/7, maybe instill to their kids the value of money and be open to discussions like gambling games. Don't be too hard on them when you caught them playing game but be open to discuss things so they will not hide it from you. With this, you will know what extent they are in, if in case they will continue to play.

Definitely true thats why it is really hard to watch over them and check out if theyre dealing with something isnt appropriate for their age and this is why its important to tell them while they are young and make them realize
that they should avoid gambling or its a bad thing even though its a bit exaggerated but it is much better for them to think off that way and once they do already get matured then they are at least able to realize that
the things that we had been saying into those younger years are definitely right and we might able to save them up for some possible addiction.

You don't monitor teens today, they learn faster and what they see online could become very powerful to change their attitude.

The power of AI of adnetworks and devices collecting data of kids that could have an interest in making money online is working. The ads are just irresistible that kids will click the ads too because the graphics are just too tempting.

I'm concerned for the underaged and how easy these things have become so exposed to them. I did a little research as to the statistics of underaged gamblers for last year, and according to an article, "39% of 11-16-year olds have bet their own money" as at when published in October 2020.

Just like pornographic sites, I don't think online gambling sites and casino's can fully checkmate underaged users that sign up, and as a result, unfortunately i see the number of underaged gamblers worldwide to increase significantly by October this year.

What are your thoughts?, What are the possible solutions to the problem of the rising number of online underaged gamblers?

In particular, this type of publicity usually appears in any online game, I have a 6-year-old son and when I let him play on my PC, which I am always supervising him, there is a lot of advertising from sites and apart from adult sites, but I have always told him Do not click on those notices, he says that this is publicity, and every time it appears to him it annoys him, because when he is playing he usually interrupts the game, and he removes it himself, closes it, however there is a pop-up blocker and there is a blocker that is similar to YouTube adblocker that is good to place, but I think this is a difficult problem to combat, the best way to combat it is to be supervising everything they do, and I don't let it play anymore of 1 hour, I think that is one of the best ways that can be done to combat this type of problems, I say this as a dad.

I also have children who like to play online games, and indeed I often see advertisements for gambling or porn sites appear. Usually I educate my son
that he is not allowed to open the site, although I noticed he understands what I mean. But still children always have a high curiosity for new things,
so even though I have given education, I'm still worried without my knowledge, he will opening a gambling site or porn site. So I really have to
monitor it closely and also limit the time to play online games, then more directed to do other activities that are more positive. Or I suggest to my child
to prefer offline games. I admit that it is a very difficult task as a parent in technological advances like now, because I can't completely prohibit
my child from using the internet, because I don't want my child to be left behind in technology.

Most of these casinos and gambling pop up advertisements have small user bases at times, they therefore always try to expand the number of players. Ads are meant to be based on user activity, yet I receive them all the time when I don't usually participate. Ita kind of weird that you need to keep skipping them all the time.
Another problem with these casinos and gambling websites is that they will allow underage ones to register even though they are completely aware of their age, they will allow them to make bets, when they lose, they will take the money away, but when they win, it becomes difficult to cash out, that's when they remember user policy.

Well as a parent, if you keep reporting the ads, at a point, they will stop because it's among ads policy not to tailor them to users who don't necessarily need them.

is this for real? a gambling site advertised directly in TV nationwide ? does your government really allows this when the TV shows and Ads must be at least concerned about younger generations?
lucky that my country does not allow this though internet is really a Shit source for children nowadays.

I used DStv and what that young man just pinout is correct, about advertising underage ads are done on TV mostly around the age of 13 and above and a clear warning is always written if parental advice is required.

I could say that this kind of problem is somewhat cant really be resolved nor get rid of it due to the technology that we do have today.This is something that cant really be stopped completely but somehow it could be able
to be controlled via some programs or even just simply inside on the house where you do really give out awareness into your children about the risk of getting addicted to gambling and with this alone then you
can at least somehow stop out for your children on getting engage with gambling and getting addicted at least but it is actually on someones personal take as they gets older.

The influenced of growing technology provides easy access with gambling, it's tough to stop or prevent those young guys to learn more about this activity.

The best way to deal with this is your awareness with your kids. Even the government implements rules. Without your guidance, those kids will always find the way to continue playing once they already have the experienced. Addiction is more prone with young kids, when corruptions inside their minds already penetrate, it's hard to prevent them to resist.

Unless, government will seriuosly interfere with this kind of business, banning is a good way to stop risking those
kids in terms of early addiction to gambling.

There are no other ways because getting rid of it or simply isnt that possible and this is why we do only need to at least make aware of our children about gambling on this they would
able to know on what are the things that should be done in case they do able to encounter it.This is something a problem that cant really be resolved nor get rid.
Its true that due to technology nowadays then its really hard for young age to avoid on not to see those things specially if they are really connected to internet from time to time.

Personally I think this is on the parents, it is very common in this day and age that parents just give a smartphone to their kids and then they just forget about them, not understanding that they need their guidance and their admonition, it is very easy to set up filters on their computers or their phones that at least filter out the majority of those websites and if you have a chat with your kids about the topic then the problem can be easily solved in just a few minutes but many parents are too lazy to do even that.

Blocking most gambling sites from the service provider is one good way to discourage them and using a VPN would simply put them at risk as gambling sites are very cautious when it comes catching gamblers who break their rules. We could always come up with different solution but like what mu enrico mentioned there's no easy fix to this problem because gambling is also connected to video games and other forms of activity where teenagers still have access on. As much as we want to prevent others from developing gambling addiction there's no way to completely shut gambling down as a whole.

Nothing but banning those gambling sites is the right solution if it's really concerned with underaged gamblers.

Very tough, but it will ensure that the activities of these people are limited, with strict implementations of government rules, it can't be accessed by anyone.
VPN can be the tunnel, but it's risky as you mentioned. Gambling sites are strict with this process good enough to lessen the interest of these minor.

The only thing here is the common interest of these young generations. They can start gambling, even playing their favorite games.
Parents should look at this and not to allow participations of their kids with these kinds of activities. Things will work with the join hands
of the government and the parents, to protect their children from gambling addiction.

Quote from: TimeTeller on September 13, 2021, 01:26:15 PM

Most fiat-based casinos if not all, require KYC from their players. Unless, the kid uses his parents' credit/debit cards to get in.
So this problem maybe more on crypto casinos since they are not requiring KYC as of now.
Aside from the fact that crypto is getting popular these days owed also to Play-to-Earn games.
More than likely, some underaged users/gamers will encounter these P2E gaming platforms and so these crypto casinos.
But as you said, the child has always curiosity on these things, and the upbringing will come into play in these crucial stages of the child.

There are many play-to-earn games outside of the crypto realm - check ebay and other sites for a huge variety of things from games for big bucks. Therefore, children have access to money without even using their parents' cards. Therefore, if you want to protect your children from gambling, you need to do it not at the level of availability of money, but at the level of understanding that this is an unprofitable entertainment, and not a way to earn money.

I don't think that there is a solution to make 100% sure that no underaged can gamble on online casinos. I mean everyone gets asked if you are at least 18 years old (or maybe even oder depending from which country or state you are coming) before you can register at online Casinos. Some of them even require you to do a full KYC. So i don't think that the casinos are the ones to blame. In the end the parents are responsible for their childs and what they are doing with their money.

The less solution we can do is we shouldn't use their phone to open up any gambling apps or any apps related unto it so that there's no gambling links will pop up and caught their interest to try on. Also we should monitor our underage kids at the end of the day to see on what activities they are on using their devices, from this we can assure a little bit that they are away from gambling.

This is one of the problem of parents who have a teenager kids like me. Especially now that the new form of studies are through online or modular learning (due to pandemic because face to face classes are prohibited). Which means they need gadgets to communicate with their teachers and be updated of the cuurent lesson. Its inevitable for them to be expose in gambling sites (and also porn sites) because ads can be seen everywhere. The reason why a strict monitoring is needed and as a parent it is our responsibility to guide them and explain everything about these sites which are not for minors.
