This is the whole problem. When we talk about adults who gamble, we see many people who have problems with addiction and the fact that they cannot control their emotions. When we talk about children, everything becomes even more complicated. After all, children do not have the same experience, knowledge and maturity as adults, and they also do not bear responsibility for their actions. That is, children need to be protected much more from gambling as well as from drugs. I am very glad that in that place there is prevention of issues related to gambling in schools, this is very correct

Protecting children from gambling is of great concerns but then it has not really been effective because there have not been a proven and confirmed way of identifying the difference between children gambling and adults gambling on an online casino platform, most times even during KYC, these kids still find their way to forge their information and make the casinos believe they have provided true information so they can gain access to the casino and be able to participate in gambling.

It's easier to get children to stop gambling if you are able to get them earlier enough when they are just starting just before they get addicted, with adults it usually very different and not like the same as it would be with children because you cannot restrict an adult as you would to a child.

Most times it's not all about teenagers, it's about having the KYC requirements. When it comes to a casino that doesn't accept crypto currency for deposits, if they use their parents or friends or any elderly person in closer to them to verify KYC, when time to withdraw the winnings definitely there will be an issue because the bank names and the documents that was used to verify the KYC will not be the same. Both the date of birth and names will be different, and still, most casinos that doesn't accept crypto currency for deposits also request for facial verification, so if the face on the documents and the person didn't match then it the verification will not work.

I don't think minors or teens will have any problem if they are gambling on non KYC based online casino platforms. If they use KYC based casino platforms then they will definitely face problems. Because they monitor personal photos along with KYC documents. If there is any doubt then there will be no KYC approval. However, there are many gambling sites that require KYC but do not strictly verify KYC. No documents are required even if only name and address are requested. Minors can indulge in gambling on those platforms. Minors can be controlled by proper care but adults can never be controlled if they are not vigilant on their own.

If they use the details of their elderly ones, nothing would be difficult with accepting the funds with the person's account details. How would the casino understand who is actually using the account? The online casino settings are hardly designed properly for detecting young gamblers. However, non KYC casino are reducing every day as the government is clamping down on them. Only telegram based casinos could be accessible for players to play without kyc.

The growth of social media platforms is actually benefiting businesses like casinos, but hunts consumers, gamblers. Especially the young players who don't have enough control over their emotions. With the institution of the KYC policy being mainly impactful on money laundering and other financial crime issues, the focus on young people may not be the goal. Assuming it was, the government would have found ways to amend such an aggressive marketing of casinos to underaged audience.

When relying upon just parents it will still be the same since they can't do much to stop the trend from playing if they are addicted already. I think the focus should be on preventing these teens from downloading gambling apps.

It may sound dystopian but the government can do something with this by many of us also wouldn't like it especially if they use AI and government accessing phone data and telcom using the demographics to prevent users from using google play or istore to download apps when you're a teen.

That's the bad side of online gambling, you can't really control the users you get, even with the under 18 rule, teenagers can just lie and still get access to gambleing features, I think they have to get more strict and find better ways to keep teenagers off gambling sites, maybe by taking some birth certificate as part of their kyc verification, I think that would reduce the amount if teenagers in online casino.

Whether you ask to do KYC verification with birth registration or any other information, teenagers will definitely do it because they will steal their parents' identification and do KYC verification. If the teenagers are not self-aware and restrained, there is no way to stop them from getting attracted to this online gambling. No matter how much we as Guardian counsel against online gambling it will not help as it can never be stopped even if it is officially stopped then teenagers access the gambling sites by using VPNs from different countries.

Teenagers who can use Internet properly will knows how to do KYC, even if they should lie, they will do that because gambling can makes them back over and over. Teenagers can gets tempts easily to playing gambling without thinks about what will happens to them if they lose money and becomes addicted to gambling.

It needs awareness from parents so they can always watch and supervise their teenagers not to playing gambling in their age. Parents must use many ways to keeps close to their children, especially in this new era because teenagers like them can easily to understand many things in the internet. Parents should be worry with situation now because many information is not filter by teenagers and they can use that for themselves without thinks much. That's why parents always takes care of their children and make sure that parents can do their job to protects their children from any bad things.

There's nothing to argue on this, gambling towards students shouldn't be permitted and what I saw them started learning gambling at younger age isn't appropriate. They're using funds which comes from their parents in which totally wasted from their allowances, and that's really devastating as a parent of these young ones.
Teens is really vulnerable when it comes to emotions, they always tend to lose control and most of them got problems with money because of gambling. They're mind is broad and the possibility of doing something wrong just to gain money out of limit could potentially formed with their individual thoughts. That's what we don't want to happen, because negative outcome might arise as their social being will be much affected, so parents and guardians should pay attention.

You can call me regressive but I am against teaching kids things who are not really supposed to do because giving the information may tempt them to try it cause that's the age when we want to try anything that gives thrill but they are not really ready to consume such things but can touch the basics of addictions that cover the wide range including smoking,porn, alcohol and as well as gambling too other than that telling them you should not do might go the opposite way.

There is an age that a child will reach in life where, even if you don't teach them about a particular thing, they will either come across it in one way or another, either through social interaction with friends or on the internet. They will definitely have to learn about it.

You can't just walk up to 6-7 years old and start telling them about gambling or other activities you either want them to stay away from or learn how to handle; it's at least from their adolescent stage where you know their mind is prepared for what you are going to educate them about.

I personally don't see anything wrong with teaching a child about the things they need to know before they learn them by themselves.

"It's time for schools to focus on the root cause of online teen gambling by implementing gambling prevention education in all high schools. Health class curricula across the nation cover the typical risks for teens such as smoking, drinking, vaping, etc yet gambling education is nowhere to be found in our schools. "

This is what Colby Cotrone said when interviewed by NBC News about the article he published in NYpost about the online gambling trend among teens causing concern because, in the school halls, they can already overhear teens checking odds and their parlays like it's the most casual thing to do in the campus. This is due to the gambling apps easily downloaded by anyone.

When Marc Potenza the Director of the Center of Excellence in Gambling Research was asked whether they were seeing young patients calling for help, he said there is an increase of 90% in young males with sports gambling problems. Either the patient himself or the parents calling for them. https://youtu.be/pCDbvDDLpFg?t=313

What's striking the most of what Colby Cotrone said was that kids are unaware of what they are doing. Could it be that even the grown-up man may also not be aware of what he is doing as over time a gambler may be consumed by how much he enjoyed the thrills of gambling?

Quote

They think they are doing something as simple as rooting for thier favorite players but it's turned more into making money than the game and having fun as a fan. - Colby Cotrone

And would you agree with him in implementing gambling prevention education in schools?

This is the whole problem. When we talk about adults who gamble, we see many people who have problems with addiction and the fact that they cannot control their emotions.

Kids should not be let off that easy, after all it is their own life they are ruining, so just as they can use those devices to gamble at such an early age, they could also use them to make a quick internet search and see for themselves the effects gambling could have on their young and impressionable eyes, but they do not do it, so they share the responsibility even if their parents were careless, as they have a responsibility towards themselves to try to get the best outcomes they can get for their own sake.

A kid, if not matured yet, doesn't understand much even though they think they do. You will often see kids saying that they know what they are doing and they can manage but they are all just words and they can't manage anything if they get in trouble, they can't even control their minds and emotions if they get into some difficult situation. So you can't say that the kids shouldn't be let off easily because it's their lives and they need to take responsibility.

We can only expect our kids to take responsibility of their lives once we know they have matured enough to understand everything very well and that they aren't doing to do things that can be harmful for them or anyone around them, but before that point, it's our responsibility as parents to make sure that our kids stay away from things that can harm them in anyway be it mentally, physically, or financially.

Yeah.
I think these days technology is advanced more that other years back. So presently, all smartphones have a feature called parental guide, this feature helps parents to control their childrens phone 100%. This is a nice feature that helps all parents to protect their child from online gamble and other online activities that makes children and teenagers not concentrate on other important activities. A teenager who understands computers so well can easily clear up their browser history anytime they are done with what they are doing. A teenager who's engaging on gamble both online and offline line doesn't know the dangers in front. As a teenager, you don't work and unless the person is a street hustler, gamble is a thing that a matured minded person should do because there might be a loss that a teenager will have an will not be okay with it because he's not matured enough to handle gamble losses.

The first point is that parents must educate them about the dangers of gambling in their teens and the impact it has on those who will lose everything from educational knowledge and other things that are detrimental to themselves. This explanation must be explained firmly to children so that they must instill in themselves an attitude of vigilance and avoid gambling.

Educating them is not good enough, they will still become a victim of the sweet promises made by these influencers. Social media has been a medium to widespread gambling online exposures which also have a huge impact on young people to get involved. Their parents could help them but stopping them is quite a big challenge especially when their friends are already addicted to it.
For me, it is the social media platform to act firmly and regulate gambling posts.

Quote

However, I am worried that when teenagers use gadgets nowadays, they can access whatever they want and there are lots of online advertisements about gambling, so parents must monitor browser access history by synchronizing the history to an email managed by parents.

You said it right. All these things can't be resolved by their parents and in school programs. The government will also take action and these social media platforms help to guide viewers if possible. Importantly, casino owners must choose the right tool to advertise their products and services that won't harm young minds.

The problem with the government is that the gambling industry is becoming wealthier and powerful as well. And the government wants to make money out of them too which if the industry wants to government to make a law that will allow casinos to have apps and easy access by anyone, the government will just nod.

People are more concerned about their pronouns than the concern for the kid's environment these days. The gadgets will even have BTC-ready wallets soon, and it won't be long even our teens are going to adopt cryptocurrency.

mate, you definitely see kids at a high level

kids are immature and they don’t care about “ruining their life” all they want is to have fun and they have no sense of responsibility thus why a parent’s role into a kid’s growing years must not be taken lightly if a kid was taught at an early age the do’s and don’ts i am sure that kid will know how to resist the temptation of doing things that could potentially ruin their lives

So, what I think is that we are not in any trouble but it's just that parents these days are extremely careless and they don't look after their children very well. If they start doing their job in a good way, at least one of the two parents should, then their children would be doing what they are supposed to do.

Not everything should really be taking blamed of with into their parents on which we know that even how strict your parents is but you do have that easy access on things online which includes gambling
then it would really be that still be able for you to have such dealing which your parents couldnt really be able to know. This is why it would really be just that wrong on having that kind of blaming 100% on parents or guardians with this kind of aspect on which we know that this isnt something that could really be that controlled or something that could be stopped if these young minds would really be trying out to make those kind of engagement because it would really be just that depending into the actions and decisions that they would really be making and wont really be tending out tell anyone on what it is.

In todays era and technology on which it would really be that hard to filter out into those individuals who do make out some engagement on which it isnt really that just limited on gambling
alone but also in other things as well on which we know that it could neither give out that negative impact or situations or events into someones life if it wont really be able to

You buy your kid a phone, a tablet, whatever - you're the boss of that thing. You got a right, no, a duty, to see what they're doing on it. Its not about being Big Brother; its about protecting your investment. Your investment is your child. These kids are smart, I'll give them that. They're figuring out ways around the controls faster than you can say "App Store." But we can be smarter. We can talk to them. Explain why we're putting these limits in place. Its not to ruin their fun, its to keep them safe.

The internet, its a jungle out there. Filled with predators and bad influences. Our kids, they're not ready for all that. So, we gotta teach them. We gotta show them the difference between right and wrong online. Thats how you raise a smart, successful kid. One who knows how to make good decisions, on their own. Its not just about saying "no." Its about teaching them why "no" is sometimes the best answer. Thats the art of the deal, folks. And thats how you win at parenting.

seeing what they do with the gadgets they have is of course one of the things that their parents definitely do, because we don't know what children do when they are not under the supervision of their parents, with the increasing development of technology it is not strange when there are Children who are smart in using gadgets so that sometimes they know more about current developments because they definitely have a great curiosity. But what you say is true, of course this is not done to cash in on their fun, but the aim is to look after them as well as their future, which of course no parent wants their child to grow up with serious problems.

Many children today are already proficient in the world of the internet, which is not surprising because as time goes by, more and more children will understand the internet well. There are so many young people who are addicted to gambling that they can gamble secretly outside the supervision of their parents and this is something some parents don't want to happen because gambling can be a reward for more than money.

Teens gambling will make us lose scientist, engineers and other big career that are useful to the society.

Thank God people are starting to notice on stuff like this because this is a big deal, if children and/or teens are getting into gambling because they see it as normal, we'd be seeing an epidemic of future adult gamblers that are going to be addicted to gambling, I think that parents should be educated right now about this and that it's alright to be strict or heavy handed when it comes to gambling, we all know that it's going to be a bad time for them in the future so why not try to stop them now and tell them what they might end up in the future if they continue gambling, maybe having a monitor for your child's online activity might be the best option even though it violates their privacy.

If the teens are still under their parent's care, parents I think should have the right to know what their kids are doing online and on their phones. Whether privacy is an issue or not, my teenager will definitely be under martial law and I will check their apps and browsing history.

Teens are yet not fully aware of what they are doing just as Colby Cotrone said, they are fans of the sport but they are crossing the line already when they gamble. Government agencies may step in if it becomes an epidemic already. Australian government AFAIK is doing lots of things to prevent their citizen from gambling including banning ads everywhere.

Yeah.
I think these days technology is advanced more that other years back. So presently, all smartphones have a feature called parental guide, this feature helps parents to control their childrens phone 100%. This is a nice feature that helps all parents to protect their child from online gamble and other online activities that makes children and teenagers not concentrate on other important activities. A teenager who understands computers so well can easily clear up their browser history anytime they are done with what they are doing. A teenager who's engaging on gamble both online and offline line doesn't know the dangers in front. As a teenager, you don't work and unless the person is a street hustler, gamble is a thing that a matured minded person should do because there might be a loss that a teenager will have an will not be okay with it because he's not matured enough to handle gamble losses.

I have a 10 year old kid. I tried doing this, no access to real youtube but Youtube Kids, the kid didn't enjoy using the phone I gave. TV with netflix and youtube is where where we watch together and after some time, the remote is now with him all the time. But I'm fine with it since I can see what he is watching. Its the laptop the he is using is something I can't monitor since its where he do his school work.

After spending some time with his cousins, he already learn lots of gambling terms. Hard monitoring when you spend less together. You prevented him from learning these stuff only to find out cousins are teaching him.

Well if that's the case, it would also help home when you also tell him the dangers that are involved in gamble. Teenager need to know that if an adult could become an addicted gambler then a teenager will also become addicted also. What I have seen so far from addiction gambler that are adult is that they takes loan so that they can gamble, but for a teenager who do t have anywhere to borrow, he or she will steal from their parents or from friends so that they could gamble. However, for a parent who doesn't stay close to his or her child all the time, the best time is to always advise the child and also give them what they want so that they too will avoid a lot of things, like gamble smoking and other things that they will not inherit any meaningful things from.
