Most of the grown up people do not live with parents. At such, the parents are not aware about the interests and habits of individuals. Do you parents know that you gamble ? What was their first reaction towards your gambling habit ?
Yes. But they have nothing against it since i'm old enough to handle myself. Of course they're concern, often advice me and that's understandable. However, as a grown up individual they know that I am a responsible person because I also have a family of my own.

Well, if you're still depending on your parents, you should be open. Our parents knows what's best for their children, therefore if you're still living with them, follow their advice and don't keep your gambling habit a secret.

Actually yes they know I am open with them with this activities so that they will not get worried about what we are doing. Sometimes we need those advice given by our parents so accept whatever words they are saying since all action they do is for our own good. We might feel harsh if sometimes they don't like those things what they do but in the end of the day we should think about that their disagreement with those actions we do is just for us and they just see something that might not result good to us in long run.

 But try to make them understand that you are playing just for fun and if they see you having a good time and make gambling as your stress reliever then for sure they can understand you and somehow let you gamble in moderation.

For grown-up people who are already living outside their parents' home, does it matter if they are gambling or not? I just don't get it. Or do you come from a place where parents still play a major role in your life decisions even if you are already a grown-up person?

Personally, my parents know that I am betting regularly, especially my father since sometimes I use my online betting account for his own bets. No big deal though, I don't have to tell them and they don't have to ask me. It doesn't matter since I am a grown-up man and I have my own source of living. I have no debts to my parents and I am betting responsibly.

No, for me, any gambling related activity is not that important for them to know. As long I can handle myself in gambling and I know my limits, it's enough reason not to let them know. Besides, I can already picture their reaction, and what words I can get from them. They are actually the type of people who do not like gambling ever since. Letting them know will only put me in a bad mood
Perhaps parents will not like it if they see their children gambling and will ask them to stop gambling immediately before they experience big problems. And it is normal for parents to ask us to stop gambling immediately because they already know the impact of gambling on those who gamble too often. Even though his son said he could still take care of himself by controlling himself, his parents told him to stop gambling and didn't want to know his reasons. That might cause children to hide their gambling activities from their parents so they don't want to cause problems in their relationships.

As you mean and personally I say that adult men have the right to privacy to do anything as long as they can control it, after all, not many parents want to know about the activities of their adult children unless they are still underage, of course they are still under parental control, where They must know what activities they usually do, so parents are obliged to guide them properly.

Adult men don't live with their parents, how can they know you are gambling when you don't live together, even if you live together, is it possible to gamble in front of your parents, I don't think there will be many people who do that, although there are, it could be that he is already an addict so it's difficult to be controlled so that he plays gambling in front of his parents without caring about their suggestions and advice. but personally, until now my parents have never known that I gamble because they don't need to know that and so far my gambling is still under control so there won't be any problems.   Wink

Right to privacy I agree but we are talking about parents not neighbors.  Parents are not going to make it public even if you share this with them like others.

My parents are quite conservative type so I have this feeling that if I tell them that I’m into gambling, they will never be glad and for sure they will just keep reminding me to stop gambling before losing everything. So I keep it to myself and when I started winning significant profits, and share some of them, that’s when they found out that I’m into gambling and to my surprise, they’re not against with it as long as I know how to control my finances and put some limits into my losses so I won’t literally end up with gambling addiction.

I believe the role of the parents in gambling is not actually to discourage their children not to engage in gambling, but to educate them on how to deal with the risks and be prepared with inevitable losses as gambling will certainly make us lose than win. Because whether we like it or not, adult people will eventually be hooked with gambling and there’s no wrong with it as long as responsible gambling is always observed and practiced.

Yes, that's gambling no matter how you hide it, no matter how tight you hide it by not telling anyone at all, one day it will definitely be found out too, just like you hide a carcass over time, it will smell too. Therefore, instead of continuing to hide it, it is better for you to try to stop, I understand that it is quite difficult, but nothing is impossible if you keep trying even if slowly.

Of course, every parent has a different perspective and response every time they see or face a problem, I see that your parents are quite different, which as you said you thought they would scold you for being caught gambling but apparently the assumption was wrong. But to be honest here I see your parents are quite understanding, they don't scold you because maybe they know you are a big boy and should be able to think to distinguish what is good and what is bad, I am quite impressed with the advice conveyed by your parents. Instead of scolding you they responded with a suggestion that you can consider, that's right, it doesn't matter if you want to gamble but we have to be responsible gamblers by accepting all the risks involved and also of course with strong self-control so that you don't go too far into gambling.
You speak the truth. Every behavior, especially gambling-related ones, affects our psyche and those around us. With its appeal and digital immersion, online gambling is adept at hiding its addiction. It's fascinating and scary how humans are predisposed to do so even when the repercussions are obvious.

Your parental reply observation is insightful. It shows their comprehension of human behavior and gambling addiction. Not everyone reacts to aggression. Gentle nudges and understanding are often needed, especially if the person is grown and can tell right from wrong. Responsibility and self-control are key in online gaming. Solution layers are needed for this problem. More people seeing things as clearly as you do might help break addiction's shackles.

We already have: "keep gambling" in secret and "never gamble in front of kids" topics. Now about parents Cheesy What next - never gamble in front of parents or does your pet know you gamble? Cheesy

I will confess - I have gambled in front of my parents, they have seen I have placed a bet on a hockey game. But, we have watched that game together and I am 35+ Cheesy Jokes aside, I think it is better to tell parents that you gamble, because they, as more experienced, might help and spot that moment when gambling is no longer about fun.

When I was a teenager was caught several times coming to land-based betting places and they were both angry with me for trying to gambling especially using the money they gave me with and from then on I started to gamble less and go out to play more often friends the same age.
But as time went by I had family and worked at company in the area where I lived there were quite lot of gamblers there and plus the environment where I lived was also an environment full of people who liked to gamble it made me try playing again and to this day I still continue to bet when I have certain amount of money that I can accept when I lose.
Even so I still have to prioritize limits and also control myself because I have a family to support so I don't go so far as to use extra money to gamble.

This is just little of my experience in gambling but from what I have gone through there are many valuable lessons and experiences that cannot be obtained from other activities.

I started gambling seriously at the age I could make my own decisions so it doesn't matter if my parents knew that I gamble I have my own family so it is my family is the one who should know that I'm into gambling because all my money and time are for my family and they are the one that will suffer if I lose a lot of money from gambling.

But if I am still young or still in my parents' jurisdiction then they have the right to know my gambling habit and they have the right to stop me if they want to because it's their money that I'm using and I'm still their responsibility and as their child, I am obligated to obey them if they restrict me.

Yes, in my case they have known about it for many years. I am a responsible adult who plays poker and earns money with it, I have not had gambling problems or anything. They weren't very happy at first and it's not something we talk about a lot because deep down it's a world they don't know about, but they do know about it. From time to time, like once a year, they ask me if I still play, and the truth is that I play less and less.

My father found out that I sometimes bet when I was still underage, he just told me - I won’t ask you what it is and why you do it, it’s your business, you are responsible for it. In fact, my father never dealt with gambling, I’m not sure that he really understood what it was, but after his words I really began to treat gambling more responsibly. I understood that even at that time there was no prohibition for me, but there was trust, and this is what I valued most.

Of course, as a parent, they will have react negatively if they know that their kids are into gambling, specially if they are still very young.

What do you mean that the parents will have to react negatively if they know that their children are involved in gambling? By negatively reaction, you mean that parents need to stop them or they need to ignore and pretend that they do not know that their children are gambling.

The reason is that if the parents know that their kids are gambling, then it is their duty to stop them. If they do not stop them, this means that they are encouraging them to play. Knowing them playing and keeping silent means that they are supporting you. One condition is that they can pretend that they do not know that kids are gambling, in this way the fear of getting caught will remain in children who are gambling.

Of course, as a parent, they will have react negatively if they know that their kids are into gambling, specially if they are still very young. Traditionally though, if you are grown up, then you don't need to live with your parents or at least get out of the house and established yourself. So maybe that's where majority of us started our gambling careers or addiction.

And I think our kids will not tell us if they are into gambling, they are going to hide it as much as they can. So it's either we are going to learn it and then tell our kids to stop, or not learn and until our kids have grown up already.

Many parents will certainly be surprised when they find out that their children are gambling, especially if they come from a culture or religion that is very against gambling, but for families who are more modern or open to everything, they will consider it normal, especially if gambling is commonplace in their community.
However, parents should be able to provide the right knowledge to their children about gambling and how gambling must be done carefully and responsibly so that they don't get caught up in gambling addiction because this is an activity that is always interesting to do because it often makes gamblers curious about the results.

No,they don't but my wife does.There is no real reason to burden your parents with your problems as gambling most of the time can be considered a problem by most of our parents so why worry them with that.We can keep it for ourselves and only in the event where we dive deep down into aggressive addiction only then we should tell them by asking for help as they are the best that can help us with any problems we might encounter.

I don't know what would be their reaction but certainly if they find out it won't be a good one despite me having created a family of my own.

When you are not staying with your parents then why would they need to know about your gambling habit. It is none of their concern as soon as you leave their house. If you're leaving their then you are earning for yourself. In that case you can do whatever you want to do with your own money. Unless you have responsibilities no one is interested in your activities.

My Mom is too religious for me to tell her , or maybe she has an Idea because we have so much common friends and some relatives that i come along when going to casinos .
but I am not telling her directly , i love the way we are casual about my vices as it is truly prohibited in Her religion .
I love my Mom so i don't wanna disappoint her just because of gambling that i am into , in which I only want to enjoy and try my small luck once a week at least or 2?
If it so then yours is better, someone can gambler to the extent that his friends will not be aware of it, but some people put much hope on gambling and get addicted to it that they will do anything possible to gamble even though they will go and borrow money to gamble and later they lose, people that are addicted to gambling are not afraid to borrow because they always think that they can win. In this aspect that is when the parents will be aware that their child gamble when the people is owing are trying to collect their money and his refusing to give them that when they will report him to his parents. To make a gamble secret you have to plan for it that's set a budget for it then it will be secret.

I was a high school student when I gambled for the first time and I tried to hide it from my parents although I know that my father is also a gambler (traditional gambler) who gamble when there is special moment only in my village. Although I have tried to hide it but my parents knew about my gambling activity eventually. Their reaction was not as what I thought, I thought that they will be so angry but they just told me something like "it is fine if you want to gamble, but be responsible, use your own money and do not use the money we give for your school/education".
