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?

Parents teach their kids from very beginning that everything cost money in this world. Parents teach kids about investing, at least how to do purchases in store. And the kids say that they were not aware what they were doing when they placed a money bet? I dont believe in that. I dont expel the fact that the gambling problem exist, but such excuse as "we did not know what we were doing" is lame.

IMO, it's because the easy advertiser can be published by the casino.

Like, mostly we all know these kids know about gambling is not because of watching (TV), or seeing sponsors on bars, billboards or t-shirts. Mostly they're getting the information about gambling from streamer/youtube. Gambling casino are easily to advertiser their site with them, and we all know the audience mostly 70-80% are under age. Due everyone access via online, it's make gambling more easy on online rather than in landbase casino.

If authority want to take these case really seriously, they need to step in for any kind of sponsor in stream site/youtube and something like that.

It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing about implementing gambling prevention education in schools, but in my opinion the most likely action is implementing a rule of not having a smartphone before the age of 18 which is better to prevent perceived hostility towards online gambling.

Preventing gambling is the same as blocking income from taxes because the gambling industry has set an age limit for players who can play.
By implementing the rule that students cannot have smartphones, children's psychology is much more developed with natural experiments.

There is a reason that children are excused from certain crime until they are up to certain age and that is because of their capacity to reason, to know good from bad and that is the intentional act unlike the adult that the ignorance of the law is not excuse. So it is excusable for kids to gamble in ignorance and when they use money from their parents to do that, they are still not going to be blamed, and so who will be blamed if the kids turn to gambling, that is the parents. The parents are to be blamed when their children take to gambling especially at a certain age. Children don't just grow up to gambling, no. They grow into seeing their fathers doing it. Therefore, it is very important that children are guided, if the father avoid gambling in the presense of the children, then they are already limited from knowing that from the home. Further guide is the school and friends. And some parents don't give a damn what the children are doing with their android phone which has already made gambling easier for them.

If gambling prevention education is done for below 18s, it will even help those above 18s that were taught the lesson during their under 18 ages. I will like to see this kind of thing but I do not think it would be possible.

The best education children can have is from home. Parents should start teaching their children gambling prevention education. So that if the children wants to gamble later when they are grown ups, they will know they should use small amount of money which would have been part of the education.

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.

Exactly, the internet now is too powerful, and even young people can navigate the internet well and can bypass a lot of things, and one of them is online gambling. It's true that many younger people are being exposed to gambling because right now the internet or social media are open to this, and we know a lot of young people are already on social media. No matter what guidance a parent will give, they can't look out for or guide their children's 24/7, so there's still a moment where a child could explore for itself and be in a bad influence.

That's why KYC is very important now for an online casino because in that way a platform could determine what age their customer is. I know it can also be bypassed, but I think there should be more adjustment or another layer of validation before a user could actually sign up and play on a gambling platform.

It is a bureaucratic process for the school curriculum to be reviewed and the whole thing may take a lot of time if any subject like gambling prevention is going to be implemented into school education.

Do not wait for the school to teach your children the things that you could teach them from home, sometimes your children will learn better from you than they learn from their your teachers because they see you as a better example than a teacher that they don't know.

Trying to prevent your children from knowing about gambling at all will not help because you do not follow them around and there are lots of gambling advertisements everywhere even from their peers, as a parent or a guardian it should be your responsibility to expose them to it at home and intimate them on the dangers and why it is necessary for them to become adults first before they start gambling.

Implementing gambling prevention education in schools, to me is never the best solution when it comes to gambling and other vices such as smoking & alcohol, but rather teaching these teens about the advantage and disadvantages of gambling is the best solution ever, because you never can tell, a child who was prevented, can travel to a certain area, and turn to an addict, simply because he/she wasn't told the basic advantage or disadvantages of his action. Hence, if we make education about gambling a priority, and how it affects the society both positively and negatively, I'm sure there are teens who are also likely pick a side with the knowledge acquired.

Secondly, if massive jobs are created, most teens you see today gambling won't gamble, as more than 50% of the teen you see today, gamble for survival. (I.e For basic amenities such as food, shelter and clothing)

The gambling industry is growing into more a trillion dollar industry and there are more people who are gambling now than ever before and it is increasing. Sadly on the underaged gambling is also on the rise and if it is not checked it becomes a epidemic that may be difficult for countries and government to control. Right now, it is still at the starting stage and the government needs to act fast. I know they are doing a lot of TV, radio, internet campaigns against under-gambling but they need to take it a bit further by going into schools, and yes inputting preventing gambling education in schools. They need to have counselors talk to students about the dangers of gambling addiction and having an open door policy for students to be able to freely talk about their struggles with gambling and then offering them help three of charge.

"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
