Topic: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens - page 7. (Read 3411 times)

If the country people think that they can earn a living with gambling then I am afraid they are moving in the wrong direction or are too lazy to do any hard work to earn a living. Mind it that it is an era of Online earning but I don't think that gambling comes under this criterion of online earning. Gambling is too risky to be termed it as an online earning method or something from which one can earn a constant income.

And regarding your 2nd point of casinos should be sincere with their KYC requirements and should not let under age gambling, but it is seen that casino's motive is to earn money and as long as any minor deposits and play, they will close their eyes even if the minor submits fake documents for KYC.

Yes maybe some do falsify their KYC to be able to access casinos and get safe gambling, but maybe it's a group, but what about individuals, who basically gambling is a disgrace in their neighborhood but they force themselves to do gambling, and young people are always desperate to do anything to get what they want.
Yes maybe some of them don't need to sweat for money, or just get money from their school allowance and or ask from their parents deliberately for something but spend it in the casino, it often happens like this, and that's what will make everything messy for the character of young people who are not yet right to come into contact with casinos.

Instead of taking part in unlawful gambling activities, young people can simply act jointly with older peers to form a blueprint for fabricating KYC documents. Laying their life on the line with illegal casinos, isn't the shortest path to making their gambling journey go with a swing. Young people avoid this, for a safer method, due to the aftermath of betting on unauthorized platforms. Same internet have made way for millions of people to get around the KYC policy and gamble without providing their personal information. Although very amusing, unlike adults, ineligible gamblers tend not to regret losing out money in gambling. Could this be affiliated to young people not sweating for the money being wagered? Such negligence, deeply affects the young gamblers when they turn adults and begin grinding for their money.

Frankly, the truth is that, everyone wants a remote job and always want to be a boss of our own and if we can be sincere with ourselves then you’ll realize that, gambling is one way we can earn a good life legally even as a teenager in a country like that of mine(not trying to paint the country bad but meh, gambling is already proving to be the hope of a common man in a country where government is already neglecting its citizens and automatically drag us to extreme backwardness.

I still maintain my point that, the casino has a very huge role to play in the regulation of underaged gambling and that’s if they will be very sincere with their KYC terms and policies.

We often blame the young lad for doing what they are not supposed to do before their age but we as the guardians failed to do our own part of the scrutiny. If a child lives with you and eat food under your roof, you have every right to restrict them of some things but before the restrictions, you have to educate them about what we warn them about, that way they wouldn't be able to raise any curiosity of what you are trying to avoid them towards.

It's a growing concern among our society and what caused it majorly is because they want to make money in their younger age as that is what the society now does, money precede everything today and that is how they become addicted to gambling due to lack of experience and money loss. By the time they try to get back the money and the don't make it, the consistent loss can make them addicted to the point of losing focus about life especially education.

Yes, kids don't care about anything when they don't have to submit KYC or any other details on those type of platforms. KYC can stop those kids but since there's no requirement to do any kind of KYC and that's why kids can do whatever they want without any fear.

Kids, and teenagers are quite naive in taking proper decisions because they want fun and entertainment in their life and earning money on those online casinos or just imagining that kind of earning could add enough fun in their lives, however they can get addicted to gambling and that can destroy their lives.

As long as kids can play and are not required to submit KYC, they will continue playing on such platform. It won't matter what label you use for them, when kids can play on it, they will stay there. especially when these kids learn they can use cryptocurrency, it will be freedom to do a lot more.

So there are still decentralized exchanges and casinos that don't ask KYC these days. It can be a double-edged sword for these casinos can turn scams and they couldn't file a lawsuit.  More problematic scenes in the end, kids get addicted to gambling and at the same time scammed by scam casinos.

Smart phone is the current technology and the development of this thing cannot be stopped because not only kids who can used smart phone and we all know people around the world always be used this thing for their daily needs and from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed we can't get away from the smart phone so we cannot prevent kids from using the smart phone but indeed i think it's time for the parents to more concern and controlling their kids for using smart phone because i think it can be avoiding the kids to be aware of things we don't want such as gambling and maybe implementing gambling prevention education in schools is very necessary someday so the teacher can explain what is the negative impact from gambling to the kids besides that with the know the risk early the kids will have good self awareness about gambling

I don’t know how best to say this but personally I think any casino that doesn’t work under the required jurisdiction of a particular country of operation isn’t wrong to be tagged illegal that’s just another way to say unregistered but I think using the word “illegal” might seem too harsh I guess🥱
I agree with you @Hispo that as the casino grows, the government starts coming after it and that’s because the government already knows that’s you already gotten a lot fan and customers and might be difficult for you to want to leave and as such you wouldn’t be left with no other option but to bargain with the government and we’ve seen things like this happen to companies and even exchanges of recent in my country were already victims of this.

Rather than illegal, I would call those casinos to be "unregistered", instead. Because calling them illegal would imply they are operating in a jurisdiction in which gambling is not within the law or there is a lack of gambling authority in the country.
Also, those unregistered casinos which do not ask for KYC from their gamblers eventually become big enough to catch the attention of authorities, either they start to comply with regulators or they website and social media would get seized and unable to access to by the owners. That is what typically happens when a service becomes big enough but chooses not to comply with regulations, anyways.

What makes it easier for teenagers to access online gambling is none other than the increasing number of payment alternatives. It makes it easier for anyone to make deposits, including teenagers who are curious about gambling.
It doesn't matter where they get their money from, but in their teens, they definitely have an interest in something that might be prohibited. Forbidding them from gambling is not the best solution, but providing knowledge regarding risks and readiness from a young age is an option.
Nowadays, many young people, even underage people, can access online gambling. The role of parents is to be closer and know what their children are doing so they don't make the wrong choice in choosing steps.

Yes with smart phones everything is easier to access, so a lot of young people who see online gambling are easily attracted and try it, even though their economy is really not in time, they are still in school and some are still very young to know gambling, and that is the real danger.

But unfortunately most of these young people I believe they access illegal casinos because illegal casinos do not have certain restrictions to filter their services, I think some large and recognized casinos already have rules such as KYC is one form of filtering their consumers who are still underage are not allowed to gamble.

That's why a small child must always be guided in everything, not all the bad things we see are also bad for them, they can't yet differentiate between good and bad, what to follow and what to avoid. and simply put, usually when they see an adult doing something then they will most likely follow it without finding out first about whether it is a good or bad action, but it is natural because after all a child who is still a minor will not be able to make judgments because their minds are still young. unstable.

A child who is still underage is usually controlled by a sense of selfishness, they will rebel or cry when something they want is not fulfilled by their parents, meaning that the danger is when they really have an interest in gambling which is where they are now it is easy to find gambling on the internet, especially on social media, plus recently I have seen a child prefer to spend most of his remaining time holding a smartphone, meaning the possibility of falling into gambling is quite large, and of course There is no other solution other than what you said, namely that both parents must be able to keep them away from various things that can make their children reach the reach of gambling. Providing education is good, but I think if a child really hasn't touched gambling then it's better to focus on preventive measures and not say anything about gambling.

Smart phones are now very accessible along with the internet is now at hand so a teenager or teen can get involved in gambling at a young age without any hassle. Everything has a certain age. Teenagers are not the perfect age for gambling. At this stage of life a person usually does not earn money and also does not have enough decision making power so when he focuses more on such gambling his career will go bad. If the boy is addicted to gambling at this age, not only his career will go bad but also his family will be ruined. I think the casino sides can add some more rules in this regard so that these young ladies don't get addicted to gambling at a young age.

I actually agree with you that there is a whole in the system especially when most times they don’t bother to ask for KYC before deposit and most ask for KYC after a win which is more like not balancing the whole situation which isn’t right and if the casino can be 100 percent sincere about their KYC then the issue of underage gambling can be minimized even in online gambling.

That can be possible in offline casinos but that is easy to manipulate in online gambling sites. Even online casinos asking KYC but there is a hole in doing it and it is not the thing they focused on, it is increasing profit. Apparently, they are aware of the situation but they just let the situation grow and worsen. And now, the government is in the challenge to stop them.
That is the problem because these casinos are so tempting which makes a newbie easily fall into it. If the parents are gambling, that is a big influence on the mindset of their kids and the possibility that they become a gamblers as well. If online gambling is not fully controlled by the government, I don't think this issue will be resolved, I even expect more.

That's why teenagers needs to be guided by their parents. No matters if teenagers becomes an adult person, their parents will consider they are still kids and needs to be protected by them. But unfortunately, not many parents can do that because many parents knows busy with their jobs and left their kids with their nanny.

They thinks that if they guard by their nanny, they will be safety and not doing something that can harm their life. But that will not truly right because we see many cases happens to the kids that has been guided by their nanny. Teenagers needs to get right enlightenment from their parents so it's a job for every parents to always make sure that they can gives more attention to their kids. But don't too strict to their kids because they will not like it.

I actually agree with you that there is a whole in the system especially when most times they don’t bother to ask for KYC before deposit and most ask for KYC after a win which is more like not balancing the whole situation which isn’t right and if the casino can be 100 percent sincere about their KYC then the issue of underage gambling can be minimized even in online gambling.


These generation of parents are even the most careless ones please forgive me and don’t get my statement wrong as what I mean, is that as compared to the data of our parents, we could imagine how strict they were to us which helped a lot but these generation of parents are giving so much freedom to the kids and making them go off the line and I think everything also starts from the parents .

This is true.  Teenagers are the age when children move from a cozy and peaceful world into a cruel reality.  They understand that everything is not so good and rosy, so they lock up their feelings and rebel against reality before becoming adults and accepting it.  Nevertheless, they are as naive as small children, and it is better to keep such phenomena as gambling away from them so that addiction does not ruin the life of a fragile teenager.

However, it is not an easy job to be able to advise teenagers because most of them are in a period of rebellion and tend to be closed off from the advice given by other people regarding what they are doing. That's why as a parent it is also important to take part in providing advice and, if necessary, a firm attitude towards teenagers who do not want to be advised not to gamble at their age. These teenagers are very vulnerable to gambling addiction and this will not only disrupt their psychology, but also how they can focus on their school, therefore as soon as possible they must be given proper education about gambling.
