Topic: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens - page 18. (Read 3473 times)

You just said the teens will do it because they think they'd be cool to their friends. Who do you think they listen the most while they are still teens, their parents or their friends or the school?

Because in some cases teens who do all of those vices change after they get older, some friends get married and work at their father's business, some become successful working in the city. They mature eventually and stop the nonsense. Those who got deeper got worse though. I must depend and who they listen.

Did that really change anything? Do you think that teens don't smoke, drink or vape despite all the negative side effects that they are lectured about? They do and that's because if you do something like that, you are considered as one of the coolest person anywhere you go and everyone wants to hang out with you. Actors, singers, some athletes and many influencers promote that culture.

That does nothing but if parents take care of their children and become their friends and supporters, teach them and explain what's good and bad and how it will end up if they follow that path, then we will definitely have a very positive outcome out of this. Schools aren't gonna happen in this thing, parents have responsibilities too and there are things that you have to learn in your family and that's ethics, culture, manners and respect.

I think it is a fact that schools only provide insight and knowledge about the various lessons that a child must learn and of course this is only to increase their knowledge of everything they don't know, but obviously for behavioral problems and habits it all goes back to the parents who have full responsibility for educating a child to have a good attitude and behavior. and also in my opinion for the problem of keeping a child from falling into various negative things then obviously it is the full responsibility of the parents and not the school, because the school only provides lessons to increase the knowledge of a child but they will not be too much, and also in my opinion for the problem of keeping a child from falling into various things that smell negative then obviously it is the full responsibility of parents and not schools, because schools only provide lessons to increase a child's knowledge but they will not care too much about what the future of a child will be like.

As you said that not everything taught by the school is enough to educate a child as a whole, meaning that the school only gives a few lessons to a child but the rest is the business of parents who must educate their children in all respects, especially in terms of behavior, because after all only parents have full responsibility for their children, meaning that parents should also create various actions to prevent a child from falling into gambling.

No matter how busy parents are with the work of educating their children is a priority, it is an obligation and this must be done to respond to and understand the child's maturity process. If parents are unable to provide education then don't blame the child if in the process of adolescence they experience a much worse life. Schools are very limited in providing education while parents have more time so parental control is really needed.

Many children go the wrong way because their parents don't care about the children and they prioritize work over the children, so that when the children grow up they will go the wrong way. Don't ignore children no matter how busy we are, because we will regret it if they grow up in the wrong environment.

Damn so this already spread everywhere I think this only happens in my country since I know it by myself here in my village there is a lot teen play gamble start from the middle school it like 13 years old frennn what a crazy right and the news is all over the place and mostly they play slot deposit and withdraw here is so simple you can top up using app called DANA via  minimart.

People are concerned this gonna blow out and the government start to notice it and keep blocking out gambling site since here gamble is also illegal

Yes you have said the exact truth because drug use is so terrible for children and teenagers that it destroys the future life of a teenager by turning it into darkness. Rather than gambling, stricter laws should be made to ban the use of drugs by school-college children and teaching them about the dangers of drugs should be included in the syllabus and it should be made mandatory starting from the school level only.
I won't directly say that gambling is bad but there should be legislation to include age based gambling. In particular, school and college level children below 18 years of age should not be allowed to participate in gambling. Again warnings should be given in guardian quarters where guardians can keep children away from gambling and be aware of drug use.

With the way of the use of internet to gamble and how the young teenagers now have access to use a platform and gamble, this freedom they have should serve as an opportunity and not for them to abuse such because being at teenage stage, they are not yet fully independent and must still be under a guardian, which means, they are limited to doing some certain things, many could kicked against teenage gambling because they believe that early exposure sometimes brings about addiction.

The future of the kids and their behavior depends on the upbringing of the parents. That is why parents should have to play as a role model for their kids and must correct the wrongdoings of their child before it get worse. While schools are dedicated to educating students, it is the part of their parents as well to have some follow-up because not all things that are taught in school are enough to educate young minds, which also needs the guidance of the parents. With this growing involvement of teens in gambling, parents have a big responsibility to stop it, not only the school.

If we do try to compare on how informations been passed through neither person to person or other means then we cant really be able to deny that in todays years or generation on which technology is really that getting advanced on where information and other things could really be seen online as long you do have that mobile phone then you could really be that able to make yourself be wary on what are the things that happening around in speaking about information and other happenings which been shared up through online. We do know that companies do really make use of social media and video streamings when it comes on offering their services and products on which you would really be having that kind of exposure if you would really be hovering yourself with your phone.

Nowadays on which even our children have their own devices too on which this do simply means that they are really that susceptible into that possible exposure with those gambling sites online or
any other correlated things which is connecting to gambling. It could really influence them once that curiosity would be kicking in. It would really be just that depending on how you do raise up your kids
because if you do make out that proper explaination and education towards it then they would really be naturally be avoiding it without telling them and this is the beauty if
you are a parent who do really knows on how to handle your family and teaching them the right ways or methods.

I'd rather them deal with more substance abuse prevention in schools rather than gambling prevention.  I don't know maybe it's me but gambling seems like a singular sport where as drug use starts out as more a group thing which would make sense to talk about it in school.  Not that gbling addiction isn't bad but of the 2 substance abuse needs to be knocked out.

In try of teens getting hooked I don't know if there is anything that can be done unless they banned the mass marketing of it like draft kings on pro sports advertisements.  Things like that

Yes, especially after gambling entered the internet media, which is a fact that most people now, especially the younger generation, are more comfortable spending most of their time playing on the internet or operating various social media, which is the biggest place for several online casinos to carry out promotions, and Of course, this means that the possibility of involvement of someone, including a minor, is greater.

On the other hand, yes, I understand that when a casino implements KYC on its site, maybe the younger generation or children who are still underage can avoid the possibility of being affected by gambling, but so far I see that it is quite
Many underage children are involved in gambling, especially in my area where it turns out they are involved in casinos
online that doesn't
implement a KYC system for each new member so clearly this situation makes it easier for anyone, especially minors, to get involved and gamble, on the other hand I think it is quite reasonable for casinos to eliminate or not implement a KYC system on their sites because as we know that is the aim The main thing is to look for more profits and if more people are involved then it means the possibility of their profits will definitely be greater.

This goes along with poor financial education in general, although I can only hope has improved in the last decade. You should never try to "prevent" anything when it comes to teaching, as making it look exclusive or restricted will appeal to younger audiences, potentially making them want to chase it more. A better approach would be to just make sure they have all the facts and education, so before they even enter a casino, they know they are going to lose money at most games inside. Describing the math and odds involved in a relatable way is key to helping them understand.

More regulation is not needed for this problem, as teens could easily find a way around them, after all it is not as if online gambling is all what it exist, since they could just gamble among their friends and there is no way to block them with online solutions if they do that, so what it needs to be done is to start prevention campaigns that show them that gambling at such an early age is not good for them and it is illegal, besides with that money most likely being given to them by their parents and not really belonging to them, they have no right at all to gamble that money away anyway.

And this is why there is a suggestion about monitoring who could download the apps. These AI adverts are just smart to target individuals who are introduced to gambling. Kids who are fans of sports are encouraged to participate in gambling because of these adverts and the apps are enabling them.

Regulating these adverts however will require digital IDs which are also not approved by anyone. I myself doesn't want digital IDs. Which I think there really is the need for parents to keep educating their kids if possible, checking which apps should be on thier phones.

More precisely, education only plays a relatively small role most of the time, children may study in the morning and afternoon but they still have a lot of leisure time to communicate with the media and society, and honestly, this era is the golden age of advertising, it's hard to keep a safe distance between teenagers and gambling. What the family and society need to receive is the formation of consciousness and becoming a mirror of reflection, fully reflects a good world as well as still retains the fun of gambling, despite the increase in gambling among teenagers, it is still in the safe zone to deal with easily

Making Kyc mandatory might not completely solve the problem, I know making Kyc mandatory by a gambling site might be helpful, but that won’t stop teens from gambling completely. Most of them will end up looking for ways in which they are going to use other people's identities for KYC,  some might even use their parents identification cards to complete KYC on gambling sites just to be able to gamble. If you are desperate to gamble, you can do anything to get access to gambling sites. It’s better right from home you should discourage your children from gambling and make sure you monitor their activities.

The rate of online gambling by teens is quite alarming and the government need to do something about it. This might be very difficult to prevent because their are so many online casinos that do not require kyc and teens would see that as an advantage to avoid kyc casinos.

 Many people are finding online gambling platform a suitable place to bet living the physical casinos so people would not know that they are into gambling. We could make money in gambling if we know how to play the right games that are going to be profitable for us. Many teens do not care about if they are winning or not but only care about there curiosity to win huge spending funds that should be wise for something else to gamble.

@Colby Cotrone, research and say the right things, many of us see teenagers or adults who don't know and realize what they are doing, if asked what you are playing.
They answered, I don't know, seeing people gambling there, I want to do it too.

Concerns about teenagers should be monitored, many teenagers nowadays do things on the basis of following along, without paying attention and understanding the risks they are doing, including installing online gambling sites, With the current era of advanced technology, we are aware that everything is easy to access with Android, without considering all forms of risks that occur, we just hope that in the future, especially teenagers, there will be the basics of a special curriculum in schools about how dangerous gambling is for them.

Come to think of this, it is a big problem if young people are not taught about gambling, I so agree with this idea of lecturing teens about gambling in schools but at the same time some teens don't get into gambling because of their environment, no one is doing it and they don't need to, if gambling lectures are brought to school it will be more eye-opening to everyone in these schools.

One the reasons why gamblers get addicted all started with how they start gambling from they one, they have no idea what they are about to do and they get lucky, it then becomes a part of them.

The world is turning into a more tasking place to be, it feels like the dead are the lucky ones, money is now a problem for everyone, including kids in schools, I wonder how many will focus on their educations if a part of them is worried about surviving, and since some gamblers are still getting lucky it makes these teen feel like they are the next on the line to make some good amount of money from gambling.

If you are a parent with teens at home, you should consider talking about gambling to them, you may never know who is into gambling already and hiding it from you all this while, don't wait until they are been thought in school, this is just an advice, it may never be implemented.

Having both gambling education from school and from parents will be better, at least if the students do not really get the lesson at school then they may get it from their parents and vice versa.
In these modern era, we cant say that parents have more time to educate their children because of many things.
When the parents are so busy with their work then they will have less time to talk with their children, on the other side, children are now also having their own activities outside school.
I will be agreeing if there is a special gambling education and/or other education about morality because for me school is not only place to learn about  science, math, language, etc but it should be a place to learn how to be good person as well.
