Topic: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens - page 16. (Read 3505 times)

In most cases, I see many teenagers playing at this age and never returning when they lose a small amount, they are not completely stupid and often the collective mind tells them that this is not a place where they can easily earn their first money. But there will certainly remain a few who will be greatly influenced by the game and will become addicted and will not imagine their life without making a mandatory bet. I usually worry about the future fate of such players and they cause me concern.

I agree with you that young people are always drawn to forbidden things, probably they want to feel like adults faster and look cool compared to their peers. I sometimes think that bad guys even attract girls and want to impress them that way. Including in adolescence playing gambling and showing that they lose or win without fear of anything. 

the role a parents play in the upbringing of a child is too huge and complex such that they can't do it all by themselves. These vices are now common in the society and and lots of teenagers are actively engaging in them without thier parents having the slightest knowledge about it and even for some that there parents already know that they are engaging in this kind of act, it's even more deficult to talking them out of it or helping them moderate it all by themselves.

The schools and religious setting has a huge responsibility of discouraging them from getting into early gambling and getting involved in some of these vices you've mentioned cause at those age, they aren't mentality strong enough to manage their gambling habit and should they become addicted at that age, it's going to be a strong foundation that they are laying against themselves in the long run.

What you are saying is correct, but whatever the government wants to implement to ban it for any good reason, it is for the sake of the teenagers at this age that we actually have. I also agree that it is better to teach the cons of gambling to teenagers.

At least they can see the effect that is not good when a person is addicted to gambling because of the addiction developed in the person who enters the online casino. or Why not implement in schools that when it's class time, cellphones are left in their lockers, then when it's breaktime or when class is over, they can use their cellphones again? At least in this way, they can stay away from such gambling apps.

Casino will search for many ways to promote their business and we already see that casino use social media to attract more people to comes to their place. Even casino hire many influencer to helps them promoting their casino and that strategy works well for casino that have more budget to promotes. Casino knows that they must prepare much money to promote their business and they also knows that if they can do the right thing, they will gets many customers comes to their business.

When many customers comes and playing gambling on their casino, the casino only needs to calculate how much money they will gets from the lose gamblers. They will see their business will grows in a short time, especially if they can promoting in many websites and hire many people to promotes their site. But for parents who had children must be ready to explain to their children about the danger of playing gambling in their ages. It needs guidance from parents to always besides their children so their children can feels that they are not alone.

It sounds like a typical media buzz story, out to pull on those emotional heart strings and draw in lots of nervous parents. However it might actually do more harm than good for schools to even cover topics like gambling. I don't recall it in my education growing up and while you might be able to describe these things in the classroom, you'll find that it probably encourages kids to go out wanting to try it even more. Talking about gambling and educating on the pitfalls might be sensible to briefly cover, but it's the responsibility of parents as well to instil the possible dangers into their children. Maybe stick to a solid math education and they will work out the improbable odds for themselves.

When it comes to marketing then it wont really be just that limited to gambling industry alone but also in other industries as well on which it is really just that relevant that they would really be putting up some budget for exposure and we do know that social media platforms and streaming sites would really be them main places on which these business would really be putting into. Why? It would really be that common sense on which considering on how many people would really be able to view it then it would really be understandable that they would really be putting up such focus or consideration even if it means that it would be having that kind of exposure into those young people. The only thing that they could ethically be done is to make up some disclaimers that it isnt really that recommended for minors.

If we do speak on stopping them not to see those stuffs then its really hard to filter out. As a parent then the better step that you should really be doing is to make them wary
and tell them that its better to avoid once they do able to see or encounter it.

Teens get attracted to these activities very quickly and since they are in full bloom and not much experienced, they fail to understand the drawbacks of these activities like drugs, alcohol and excessive gambling.
The concerns get more serious when these teens do not focus on their studies and rather give their energies and time to gambling. When they start to win in gambling, they usually think that will adopt gambling as a profession when they do not know that winning and losing in gambling is unpredictable and in no one's control.


Social media gives only one side of the picture. Even the gambling sites want to see us only a single side of gambling which is winning and making money, No one tells us what will happen when you lose money in gambling. Seeing and hearing only positive things, will make to avoid the risk management and it won't be long before gamblers will experience a major loss.

Casino will search for a way to attract more customer, even if that means they will attract children to playing gambling. Casino have many gambling games that they can used to tempts people, including children to feels new experience to playing gambling games. That ways seems working to attract many children to playing gambling because we can see many children start to playing gambling without they realizes that's a gambling games. When children see they can make money from that games, they will try to keeps playing and even if they use money to play, they will not care. If there are no guidance from their parents, they will gets deeper on that games and in the end, they will becomes addicted to gambling games. It's a job for parents to always watch and guide their children not to playing games that use money and always discuss with their children what they do with their phones.

When they already know about gambling and the various bad qualities that you mentioned above, they will never forget it and will try to find deeper information about what will happen when they do the things above. Only with high enough awareness and the role of parents who always control and provide education and even give direct examples will make children think critically and make this an important lesson that can be taught to parents. The role of parents is very important and nowadays it is very easy to have a bad influence on children because of the increasing development of technology which makes it easier for children to access wherever they want.

Lack of knowledge on things such as gambling, sex, alcohol, drugs and anything that can possibly destroy our lives when addiction hit us as a human will always depends on our knowledge about it. The more the knowledge we have on each things we avoid problems because we know what are the consequences unless we are stupid enough to cheat ourselves even if we already know the outcome if we fail in one of those. Gambling really is a threat to minors as it can distract their young minds instead of just focusing attention on their studies. Here in my country it is really quite alarming as we can see it anywhere especially on social media and even in television ads so yeah government doesn't care about it because they allow these ads for revenue purposes as restriction won't really work.

Here we need to think about whether we can completely protect teenagers from gambling? In the event that a casino or bookmaker’s office requires KYC and, among other things, asks about age, then, of course, this makes it possible to limit teenagers’ access to gaming platforms. But what if the gambling game is completely decentralized and does not involve user verification? You know that this situation is somewhat similar to the situation with cryptocurrency trading. After all, if a teenager has even small funds and access to the Internet, then nothing can stop him from trading. At the same time, on decentralized exchanges, he can, using special technology, take the so-called decentralized leverage and lose his money if the price moves against his position quickly enough. Both trading and gambling are often addictive. But if we are against KYC, then we must accept that teenagers will trade and gamble. I don't know if this is good or bad.

Recently, it seems that casino promoters are coming up with new ways to attract children to gambling. And it's not surprising - if earlier children were not interested in adult sports and casinos, now there is esports, and many boys have known professional esports teams in counter-strike and the like since high school.
Children are able to assess the strength of the players, which means they have an opinion on who is most likely to win. And if there is an opinion, then why not try to make money from it in gambling? That's how it all starts.

Who is to be blamed in this situation? Without a second thought, I would blame the parents for allowing them to do all of that, and on top of that, they are giving these teenagers so much money without asking them what they are spending the money on. What kind of parenting is that? You can be careless as a person but you can't be careless as a parent because that will ruin the future of your children if you don't bring them up by teaching them certain things and disciplining them on certain matters.

A bad parent is the reason why we see bad children in society today. If parents keep an eye on their children, watch their activities and make sure that they aren't involved in things that aren't good for them, we won't see these kids doing all these things at ages where they should be focusing on their studies.

This isn't a new thing though, concerns are a bit new, but kids are playing is not something new, we should realize that it is quite common in the gambling world that kids under 18 gamble. When you have online gambling, you do not really know who is gambling. If you have KYC in place, then you may, but if there is no KYC, how are you going to know if the person is playing could be 12 years old or 82 years old, you have no idea at all. This is why KYC was put in place for most casinos, some get away from it however they can, but most do it.

I think this has been a thing for many years. Kids would of course love gambling, kids love anything with adrenaline, some likes jumping off a huge cliff only tied to a rope, I would say I rather see my kid gamble all our money away, then see them jump from like some bridge with some rope hoping that rope would protect them.

I think that's the point of the problem, where they think that gambling is a means to get money quickly, with thoughts like that they will become addicted, especially if they are lucky enough to win, of course they will be more confident that the gambling they do can result in winning. . Moreover, we know that ordinary children have desires that they must continue to do, so when they want something, of course they will do it until their desire is fulfilled. It's very bad if they spend their time gambling instead of studying like reading books or something else. because when that happens they have lost the opportunity to be better, even though there is a time when it is possible to change everything, it feels almost impossible to do it and succeed.

In my country, gambling is prohibited and indeed many people are strongly opposed to this, but with the increasing prevalence of online gambling, many young people and even minors are doing it, and this is only known by young people who are no longer strange about it. online gambling but they hide it from their parents, also with the advertisements that are increasingly appearing on social media, this has attracted many young people. However, even though the laws in my country are strict regarding gambling, I have only once seen the authorities arrest people who gamble online, but when it comes to people who experience bad impacts from gambling, it happens a lot.

Nah.

Online casinos do have mandatory KYC rules, but it's not that strict. I've gambled on many casinos and only 1-2 casinos that ask me to submit KYC, which mean I can just switch to other casinos if I'm underage.

Unfortunately not all parents have a good parenting knowledge, they only know how to fuck each other and give birth, but they don't know how to raise their child. Mostly their kids didn't get monitored by the parents since the both parents need to work in order to survive.

Prevention campaigns in educational institutions not only do not work, but may also generate interest in the area under discussion among young people who have not been exposed to it until now. You cannot see the real statistics from the inside, but you see the statistics presented to you by organizations interested in making these campaigns produce positive results. That's politics. The real methods of fighting any addiction among both youth and adults is the construction of special rehabilitation centers, and free of charge. Unfortunately, no one wants to allocate money for this.

We can eliminate this problem by paying more attention to our teens in our houses but we are not doing this and allowing them to do whatever they like. With the attitude of not caring about our teens we are allowing them to make decisions on their own but they are not matured to make the right decision and any wrong decision that they take at this ages, they will live with that decision forever unless something happens that change that decision to a good one. We should always monitor our teens and they will be guided in the right path to having a bright future. We should monitor the activities that our teens are doing with their phone and restrict them when they are doing things that can damage their future. Gambling is bad for people that are not up to age because they can not make the right decision when necessary.

Online casinos have a very strict policy regarding underage gambling. They apply a KYC policy that prevent underage teens to gamble.

You are absolutely right, the high rate of underage going in to gambling is becoming something else, they see gambling as a means of getting quick money.

They spend their time in gambling rather than studying their books or taking their studies more seriously, although I don't really blame them, it's the way our society are being so corrupt that might affect some of them but if our leaders will be able to handle this matter effectively by issuing a strong law, that will prevent them from gambling at underage, that will be really a huge help to them, so that they will useful to themselves and to the society as whole.
