Topic: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens - page 4. (Read 3522 times)

It needs to be acknowledged that everyone definitely wants rewards that are obtained for free. With luck, we can get big rewards from gambling with just a small amount of capital, but this is not certain because it is also difficult to get this, that is gambling. and teenagers are of course a time when they are on fire, either with their social environment or with their desires, they definitely want a lot of money because they have a lot of things they want and to fulfill them they need a lot of money, unfortunately they take the wrong action by gambling and hoping for a big win, but This actually makes them addicted, in fact the rate of people who are addicted can certainly increase every day if you look at the whole country.

Even though parents can telephone their children at any time, that doesn't prevent them from gambling, apart from that, parents certainly won't be able to supervise their children all day long because of course parents also have their own activities. only themselves will decide how they respond to this. It is necessary to pay attention to the development of teenagers today, because I don't think it is surprising that many teenagers nowadays are familiar with and engage in online gambling. because their opportunity to be able to know and carry out online gambling is wide open, so the decision is up to them.

Teens have always waited for chances as this in all restricted behaviors including alcohol and drugs. Gambling knowledge spreads faster like a virus, for its monetary rewards, which clips in a teens memory and wouldn't free up space for other thoughts to go in till he's long over due in the habit. The challenge is frictionlessly dwelling more than it should in all societies and have emerged as a long lasting trouble. Parents can't help as they weren't conditioned to monitor in all times what kids operate on phones. Ever since the online settings was birthed, underaged players have succeeded in tricking not only guardians, but the government into a durable mental fatigue, which relentlessly troubles them towards finding a more effective restrictive method.

Educate them on what will happen to their life if they will traverse the path of a person who is into gambling and a person whon  will acquire a degree or appropriate education. We don't want to discriminate people but we need to lay down the reality of things. As we can't guide these youngsters throughout their life, they need to learn on their own accord how to fight the battle of life.
Forcing them to school may only end up sideways. So let them find their own pace on this aspect but still, educate them the pros and cons of being educated and just a vagrant in the community. They always have their own choice on this matter.

The fast pase of advancement we are experiencing in technology is something we don't have a total control over and this by extension makes it not so easy putting the restrictions that we may need to get our kids from really getting involved with some of these things, it will be even better to get them educated about it and the possible danger it can cause them because trying so hard to stop or restrict them may even result in them been very inquisitive and wanting to know why you are very concerned about it and trying to stop them from getting involved.

I can relate to this since I have kids who really enjoyed playing online games. But I make sure that I monitor what they're playing and also limit their use of gadgets. Because if you just let them explore (especially there are many influencers now promoting online casino) they might really try to play a gambling game out of curiosity.

Usually in private school. They don't allow their students to use gadgets to focus on studies (but this is during class hours).

It's an issue to analyze, due to the rapid growth and dissemination of what digital has provided us, it has brought comfort and ease in seeking information, including doing things online that were previously only possible physically, such as registering at casinos, this has created a gap for even minors to register at casinos, this is one of the trade-offs.

We cannot force young people in schools to simply stop playing, this will only make the situation worse and also create new ways of circumventing any attempt at a ban. What you should do is try to convince through lectures and communication.

I agree with both of you: new technology emerges, and the way things grow this time around, the children are now the ones who teach their parents how to make use of new technology, operate computer systems, and even access online casinos.
 
Like the other day when I was with my dad and he was busy going through old news papers and compelling some books that have past match records that he was using to make his next pool game prediction, I had to show him how to use his smart phone to check through live scores and even past match events for any game of his choice.

If there is a way to limit the way teens get access to devices and technology it will limit some unnecessary behaviors at that age and make them not to be aware of new technologies and the evolution of the world, which will cause more damage than good. But it can't be possible that is why in this era grounding children will not stop them from doing what is bad but good parenting is what gonna work so well.

More of advice, encouragement, and exposure to reality. Especially the dangers of gambling will help guide these teens not to engage in gambling. Sometimes using fake scenarios to demonstrate the disadvantages of gambling to your kids works well. It is not wrong lying to them because it is better lying to them so that they ma discover some truths.

Playing video games is probably the biggest for parents today since as early as 8 years old, kids are already playing games like the Roblox and if they discover more games where they could wager money it will be another game to get addicted to. As they grow older the bolder they could become in wagering how much they have.

Maybe choosing which school for your kids will help your kid's development and will not stray to gambling because they learn it from the teens inside the campus. There were schools prohibiting kids from using phones on their campus AFAIK.

I totally agree to your point... The Internet has created a sense of reliability and trust over the years; if the comfort, relaxation and anonymity isn't fascinating to you, the new innovations and advanced options will be....

It's like having a slut house/a club in an open area or a plaza... there's a tendency that several men wouldn't wanna take a bold step to pass through the constantly disruptive crowd, just to make their way into the club... It's nothing personal but, people enjoy having fun when nobody is actually focusing and being too concerned about whatever they're doing.

The vast variety of games, options, odds, fast payments and a swift booking process is all it takes to convince anyone.

We are already in the 21st century when teen are interested in doing things they don't even have idea about. It is good we understand the time that we are in so that we can know how to discipline children on what to do and what not to do. Technology is moving very fast and it is good we strategize on how to talk to children and guide the from going too far doing things that would crumble the future. Gambling cam really have great effects and children and it is good we know how to react to them and talk to them in a way that will not take them far away from us. Gambling is not meant for the little once but it is quite obvious that children are going too far in gambling.

Gambling is what it has turned to now because of it availability online for everyone to have access on it, gone are the days we must have to visit the casino house before we could enjoy gambling, but now, the comfort is there and the free access is also made available for everyone to use the online platforms of the gambling sites to gamble, which all these make it difficult to separate or differentiate teens from having use of these platforms for gambling.

But the problem is that the initiative to learn in children or adolescents is lacking so it will be very difficult if not guided properly, yes we know that any knowledge we can get easily in this fast internet era but the problem is how they use the internet itself.

Teenagers are more susceptible to anything that is enjoyable such as gambling and because of that they are also very worried about getting into gambling because having a bad gambler mentality before they can mature will be very difficult for him in adulthood, and that is what is very worried about a teenager or child who already understands internet technology, they don't read the bad effects and good effects usually and they only access what makes them happy they will do it happily, besides gambling also another example is playing video games is also included in one that must be worried about today's teenagers apart from gambling.

Well advancement is actually not on the teenagers but at a global level as whole because the world itself is the one that have actually advanced to the stage that it's even possible for a child to not be or go to school and still get the basic and proper knowledge of things that he would have been taught there because technology has advanced so greatly but the thing about good inventions also is that there is always an equal opposite side as same as the positive.

Well, I think you meant to say that online gambling is growing at a tremendous pace, rather than the gambling industry which consists of both online and offline/physical gambling, and if anything is sure at the moment, it's the fact that offline/physical gambling is gradually fading away and it's counterpart which is online gambling is gradually taking over.

And we all should know, every good thing comes at a price, most especially when it has to do with technology, anything technology brings something new that saves people time, money, and at most, makes doing that thing way easier than the traditional way, such never comes for free, it comes at a price. And the price that online gambling have come with is the fact that both underaged teenagers are now gambling anonymously, and this is dangerous to our society to be honest.

Indeed, online gambling has a very high and fast increase in this digital era, especially when slot gambling appears where they only need to make a deposit and then they can bet easily and quickly. It is different with crypto gambling, because maybe they also have to understand about crypto itself before starting, and it will make it difficult for ordinary people to understand. Because after all, they just want to do gambling quickly to get fun easily.

But indeed, it may not be a problem that this gambling growth is increasing in a country that basically legalizes gambling. But anyway, the increase that is happening is in a country that basically does not legalize gambling but strangely, they can still do it easily and safely there.

You are right and precisely that is what makes parenting more difficult, because they tend to learn anything very quickly, if you are more skilled with Technology you will always have an advantage over others, and as parents we have to be so skillful, always think badly but at the same time have the necessary Understanding to understand the stage they are going through, sometimes the fact that they discover games and play is not so much that can be bad for them , the bad thing is that they enter Forbidden places, where they learn things and some take them down the wrong path just because they are people who are somewhat irreverent and have the world at their feet where they want to do things as they dream, but I say it is not easy at All.

Indeed, the gambling industry is growing at a tremendous pace not only among teenagers but among everyone. It's all to blame for the fact that online casinos are becoming more and more popular. Now we no longer need to go to a physical casino - we just need to install the application and launch it, and the whole world of gambling entertainment is in our pocket.

This is true. Teenagers are getting smarter due to technological developments and can also become increasingly out of control with negative things due to technological developments, while parents find it difficult to monitor these developments because every child has a cellphone, quite a few parents do not understand how to access cellphones properly. So, to prevent gambling in teenagers other than parents, there must be intervention from government regulations, for example there must be no promotion of gambling on television or social media so that it can control teenagers who fall into gambling.

It must be acknowledged that with today's technology, it is very difficult to stop teenagers from getting involved in gambling, however with more education about gambling this can also help them, at least if they gamble they can gamble responsibly. In my country gambling is illegal but there are still many teenagers who are trapped in gambling, especially in countries where gambling is legal, of course teenagers are very easy to fall into gambling. So parental supervision is very important and of course the government also needs to make regulations and improve education about gambling.

while gambling industry is getting more efficient or more population than before is due to awareness and secondly the use of internet, when looking at the basic ways of gambling you can openly see that gambling is something that the traffic is getting increase almost every day, and the essence of it is due to most of gambling is done with digital way or measure, so it's obvious that in the next five years coming the traffic of gambling will marvel people, because as it stands now its obvious that many young adults like to relax with gambling and most times a discussion of some of them do go directly to gambling.
