Topic: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens - page 8. (Read 3538 times)
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.
Well, I can’t speak for others but personally I think it’s a no, no because there are still millions of kids out there who still haven’t gotten into gambling and maybe in course of trying to school them, they might want to give it a try and you guys already know how gambling already works and how easily a newbie could get carried away if not properly guided.
I think the idea of fighting underaged gambling should be more on the casinos and to enforce more strict regulations against minors maybe a KYC for underaged will go a very long way to reducing the gambling activities within underaged( just my random opinion).
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.

Secondly, I don’t think a gambler gambles primarily just because his rooting for a club or a player because I’ve always been on the opinion that, the moment money is staked, each gambler hopes for a win and the fun and entertainment would come more if the wins are there.
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. hero member

Teens need to be pointed to the right direction as I think most of them gambling are only doing it to get money and they would had been misinformed about things that can give them money this is why they rely on gambling for money and it is a bad habit to have as you're still growing up. Teens need to get proper enlightenment on how bad gambling can be if done wrongly before it gets worst.
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.Teens need to be pointed to the right direction as I think most of them gambling are only doing it to get money and they would had been misinformed about things that can give them money this is why they rely on gambling for money and it is a bad habit to have as you're still growing up.

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.

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.

This subject is already out of the bag in terms of controlling the spread of gambling to children, not even as old teens would you have to consider restricting your range to. Even a ten year old likely has a gambling feature integrated into the games they are playing so are being actively pursed by companies for profit from an early age.
That whole concept of capturing children as customers to various schemes online, mobile based and other new markets was here maybe ten years or more ago, people have been slow to only consider the idea of a straight casino as gambling but its moved on from that to something far more elusive. Not just some companies but multi billion global corporations now include monetization into games, that can be assessed as gambling in quite a few of them.

Gambling among teenagers is definitely growing and two obvious factors are to blame for this: firstly, all teenagers now have smartphones. And now it is very easy for them to just go to the gambling casino or betting site and place a bet there.
All teenagers have plastic cards, so it will not be a problem to replenish the deposit. And the casino will not check in any way whether teenagers are as old as they need to be under the law.
I totally agree with you because one of the main reasons why youths are getting spoiled in today's age is the use of mobile phones. I am not against the use of mobile phones but if the mobiles are not used properly, youths will definitely destroy their careers. If a student spends 10 hours in mobile phone in 24 hours then how will his career be formed. In the village where I live, 90% of children below 18 use mobile phones while studying. If they use mobile phone while studying then surely their career will be ruined. Moreover, guardians are forced to buy mobile phones for small children because in my village, guardians are even being blackmailed to buy mobile phones. All teenagers have plastic cards, so it will not be a problem to replenish the deposit. And the casino will not check in any way whether teenagers are as old as they need to be under the law.
A person regardless of their age has a responsibility towards themselves to try to pick the very best outcomes they can, a teen knows enough about the world to make judgments about what is best for them and whether what they are doing is correct or not, after all if a teen did not knew this information then why do they hide the fact they are gambling? Because they know it is wrong, so they are purposely doing something they know they should not be doing, and as such no matter their age they should be held responsible for their actions.
No teen gamble without knowing as they are grown up and no longer kids that we can say will get influence to try things that they shouldn't be trying. Teens gambling is becoming problematic to the society as more of them are beginning to gamble in search of money. Teens needs to be paid attention to more as they are doing things that'll destroy their life when they're not matured to know how bad gambling can be to their finances. Teens need to be pointed to the right direction as I think most of them gambling are only doing it to get money and they would had been misinformed about things that can give them money this is why they rely on gambling for money and it is a bad habit to have as you're still growing up.

I would like to add to what has been said that children are often interested in e-sports; this is a gaming discipline that did not exist before. All teenagers have plastic cards, so it will not be a problem to replenish the deposit. And the casino will not check in any way whether teenagers are as old as they need to be under the law.
And if at an early age football and hockey are not so interesting, then children enthusiastically watch the battles and battles of teams in Dota 2 and counter-strike 2. And this is the first step to betting on the betting platform. This is another factor that children have now become interested in betting.
Kids should not be let off that easy, after all it is their own life they are ruining, so just as they can use those devices to gamble at such an early age, they could also use them to make a quick internet search and see for themselves the effects gambling could have on their young and impressionable eyes, but they do not do it, so they share the responsibility even if their parents were careless, as they have a responsibility towards themselves to try to get the best outcomes they can get for their own sake.
mate, you definitely see kids at a high level kids are immature and they don’t care about “ruining their life” all they want is to have fun and they have no sense of responsibility thus why a parent’s role into a kid’s growing years must not be taken lightly if a kid was taught at an early age the do’s and don’ts i am sure that kid will know how to resist the temptation of doing things that could potentially ruin their lives
This is why proper guidance would really be that important specially to our own kids on the moment that they are on adolescent stage on which curiosities would really be at peak into these kind of times.Somehow as a parent on which not everything could be seen out and this is why it's hard to monitor them anytime,that's why it couldn't be always be blamed out to anyone.
"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
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?
And would you agree with him in implementing gambling prevention education in schools?

They think they are doing something as simple as rooting for thier favorite players but it's turned more into making money than the game and having fun as a fan. - Colby Cotrone

You have to understand that news organizations love building controversy, one week it will be teens gambling, the next week it'll be pregnant mothers vaping, the week after it will be angry pensioner vandals and so on. When you recite things like a "90% increase" then you really at the very least have to give a time frame, are you comparing the last year, the last decade, the last month? There could be reasons that need addressing, but there could also be things like the scope of what falls into the gambling definition has now expanded. Maybe it is the rise and prevalence of the gambling sites in the USA that have risen due to loosening restrictions, but the rest of the world has stayed very similar - so the fault is within a specific country that is not properly regulated.

Teenagers and the stage of adolescent is one of the most sensitive stage for any child to adult phase and a lot of things happening and I think it's because this stage of life we live now, money is now normal thing you see people have around. I mean, even in our time, there were booming in casino and physical betting place but there was challenge because you don't get funding. You hardly have access to money unless it's something you really need probably for schools but today, it's a different world we live in.
Parent are also failing to do there job, it's there responsibility to look after every teenager even though privacy is needed. There are ways parent can track record of transaction history of their kids, no way my kid is going to be smart than me unless I choose to let go or don't react but I will definitely know when my kid is doing some things that are not what we agree to be done and as long they live under my roof, they must obey me.
I don't think that these kids and teens are being funded by their parents. Just like me in the past, I snatch money of my parents to do stuff that I like since I don't have a job and I don't have money to do it.
So, I think that most of them are doing that. Getting their parents money without their knowledge for them to be able to gamble.
The parents task is vital with how they're going to understand that gambling at a young age is risky for their growth because they might be used to it.

Teens today are aware of Venmo Teen accounts, it's all they need and they can fund themselves already by asking for some digital USD from their parents. Parents are unaware of what the teen may do to the money and as a sort of pocket money for a student they give money. Teens must have digital money these days, it's necessary.
These teenagers don't have to steal from their parents. But this is not the problem, its if the teenagers continue to gamble using those apps and parents have no idea they are doing it.
While government can help with this kind of issue along with the help of the platforms from where we can download the apps. We might just be the problem too since we advocate privacy too much.
So it means that virasog is right that they're being funded by their unaware parents. Whether the description is that they're not stealing from their parents.
It only means that it's still not their parent but they are given the rights on how to spend them.
I do not know who is the youngest gambler but one thing is for sure, we should not blame any of these kids, children and teenagers gambling online because they are being funded by their parents to do so. Gambling needs money and these young people are not at the earning stages of their life.
This means that if they are gambling, the sole responsibility of this lies with their parents and they are accountable if in future it has a bad impact on these children's education, health and more importantly habits.

When much of our teens are engaged too much on gambling, then it becomes a serious concern for us to be able to take a cognitive step against them because they are having more open access to the use of online gambling through many media, the first is that they will not gamble as it is been expected of them, also, how would they be able to afford making the best of gambling opportunity when they are still at teenage stage, they may never realize the value of money they were going to need and how to source for having more to be used as well for the same purpose of gambling, except they passed through that stage.

I wonder how far they will actually get in trying to implement this?? I had no clue that this was such a problem with teens I guess it does make a lot of sense tho, even toddlers have phones now. I wonder how young the youngest gambler is 😳
