I am a private person and although I am not an active gambler, I will not let my family know that I like to gamble. Because my family is against gambling and they consider gambling to be haram, and when I gamble as much as possible I do it very carefully and hide.
Because of my gambling activities, I often play online gambling using my cellphone, so it's still safe because they won't check my cellphone and I also often do it outside the house when I'm out enjoying a cup of coffee.
And now I'm married, and I also hide it from my wife and only bet on weekends and only bet on sports betting on football and just for fun after five busy days of work. Because I love the sport of football and betting is just for fun and most importantly I can watch it and enjoy the match.

If your family never supports gambling and completely forbids you from gambling, then don't do it in their presence. Of course you've taken the right steps to hide it from your parents and wife, but that's not enough if you don't delete your browser browsing history. But since you don't gamble for money, I don't think your problem will ever be big even if they find out. You gamble for fun even though sometimes you lose money because of it, but as long as you set a gambling budget limit, it's safe for your.

In Indonesia, not only do you have to hide your gambling activities from your family, but you cannot gamble in public. You could be caught by the police because gambling is illegal, even if you are caught you will be publicly humiliated. Things like this happen in certain areas that enforce Islamic law, not only the constitution.

In my country, parents detest gambling not to talk of when they discover that their child(ren) are engaged in gambling activities. If they dare find out that you as their kid is gambling just forget about it because sorry is your name. Here, people see gamblers as irresponsible and would not want to associate themselves with it. Do you know why? because most of the people who gamble here are the middle class who hope on it for wins and profit and thy end up losing and becoming addicted with nothing to write home about them. They are seen as people with no hope and future and they most have some odd and funny characteristics that seems not attractive. I believe these are the reasons why parents detest their children from it here. So in that case any one engaged in gambling here always do it in the secret so that no one would know.

Gambling is seen by almost everyone in a negative light which a gambler can easily understand. Parents of those who become addicted to gambling also end up in embarrassing situations. They think their child is over. He can no longer be controlled. If the attitude of people in a society is very bad towards gambling then surely not every gambler will show interest to inform about their gambling. But gambling is now much easier in recent times. No one is able to understand anything while gambling at home. Gamblers are now completely free from that aspect. As a result, they do not have to face any such problem as earlier a gambler had to be under pressure. But I think there is not much a parent can do to get their child back from gambling. If the gambler is not self-aware.

Doesnt really need for you to be parent or a person whose really that being addicted first with gambling before you would really be able to know about the risks that it is imposed to it.
Even with just using up with your own common sense then you would really be able to make yourself that wary about the risks on dealing too much with gambling or as much as possible it would really be just that recommended that better make your children wont really be able to encounter gambling in the first place so that they wont really be that exposed into their early stage knowing that curiosity on this time is really that into that too active on which means that if ever they have encountered something new then they would really be non stopping on trying to explore it which it is really
that normal for parents to have those kind of steps or actions that as much as possible they would really be hiding those gambling related things in front of their kids.
Gambling habits or any bad habits should really be that stopped or should really be that be cut-off.

I don't think there is any need to tell our parents about
our gambling habits because as an adults it is believed that you are entitled to make decisions for yourself by choosing what you want and take responsibility of any outcome of it.

So for me I don't tell my parents about my gambling because I felt there is no need for that and in most cases telling your family about your gambling habits could easily influenced your younger ones to start gambling by following your footsteps, so the best is to keep our gambling habits to ourselves instead of letting our family no.

It's again based on your parents,if your parents are very friendly to you.Then you can share your habits to parents,So they can accept the gambling play because of the parents maturity in to the current way of life.My parents know my gambling habits after I had started my gambling during my college days.But it can’t be same to all the gamblers,because not in all the houses the parents will accept the gambling like my home.So share if your parents are gambler or d supporter of the gambling.Because if they against the gambling,they will not allow to play gambling after the information of involvement.

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 ?

The reason why the society and our parents condemn gambling is because of losses, if you are a gambler that wins even if it is not all the time but when you win you tell your parents you won they might not really bother you much the only reason why most of our parents are against us playing gambles is as a result of not winning.

There are sometimes that you win a bet and your parents knows about the winning next time they will even give you money to play for them as well though this happens when you win and also give them a cut from the winning

My parents know that am a gambler but they're only happy with me when I win but if I don't win for sometimes they will start complaining that since am no longer winning that I rather quit instead of continuously losing

I have always kept my gambling away from my parents knowledge first because I grew up in a very strict really just home where gambling is considered a "sin". They would have been disappointed if they knew that I had gone astray and gone and sin against my creator.

I kept it away from a very long time till moved out of their apartment. This was many years ago. Right now kids can gamble tight under the noses of their parents without them being aware just through the use of their phones. I think it is harder now for parents to get a hold of their kids than before

Then provably they would be angry if they know that you are doing this activity and might they might do something that you wouldn't like. So maybe try to slow down all things and make them understand that you are just playing and erase up your boredom at home and the one they called sin is only applicable if you do excessive gambling or you have bad intentions from what you do.

For sure with pure intentions you parent would provably understand you since you are their child and if they see that nothing change on your life style and still you are functioning as a good person in the community then provably they will just accept your gambling activity. So communicate with them so that no conflict will be created for hiding it.

They know that I've been doing online gambling because I told them, but they have no idea what I'm using to play. Well, they don't give a f*ck as long as I'm not using my pocket money to play. Also, I've done well before, winning a lot without using a penny. So, it doesn't matter to them. Of course, I didn't say to them those huge amounts of losses that can be considered fortune to us.

Gambling is strictly meant for adults and as an adult you're entitled to making your own life's decision and facing whatever consequences that follows without parents interfering because that's what makes you an adult.

You are funny. When the kid skips school and goes home to play video games, even though he know he will be punished if parents find out about it - makes him adult? If gambling is for adults only, why in cartoons we seem characters gamble or visit casinos? Are cartoons for adults then? When you visit Vegas or any IRL casino with your family and you are accompanied with a kid, casinos guard will let your kid in, as well as let kid watch others gamble and even wont interfere if you will allow your kid to smash spin button in slots. Btw, do you know that on YouTube kids app kids can eventually get gambling ads? I'm eager to get your comment on this. Grin

gambling like I said was strictly meant for adults but the industry has been revolutionized in ways that kids can even gamble behind closed doors with or without their parents knowing. Though children now have access to instrument of gambling still doesn't make gambling an activity for children but simply for adult and am backing this argument with the age 18+ that's been displayed by any gambling platform be it online or in land as eligibility age to legally engage in gambling (The age limits differa from one country to another) therefore because parents gives consent for their underage kids to gamble or make a spin doesn't make them eligible to be gamblers or gamble so far as they ain't adult yet.

Of course, as someone who has been careful not to hide anything I have done from my family throughout my life, they know that I gamble because I have told them before. Of course, when I first started gambling I didn't tell my parents just like I didn't tell my parents when I first started smoking. But in both cases, I felt uncomfortable because I was doing something secret from my family and I said both of them without keeping it secret for a very long time. Since I earn my own money and I'm not addicted to gambling, my family doesn't interfere with me in any way and doesn't constantly give me advice when I gamble only for fun.

I think that especially people who have just started gambling and are hiding it from their families, people who have had a gambling addiction for a long time and are hiding it from their families and everyone who gambles for recreational purposes should tell this to their families. Your family needs to know this so that they don't hear about it from others and so that they can support you if you are in a bad situation. Remember that your family will be the one who will help and support you the most during this process especially if you have an unstoppable gambling addiction and it is very difficult to give up this addiction.

This view is popular in some areas that uphold some cultural and religious beliefs. In most Islamic nations, gambling is seen as immoral and even a sin. Some cultures also have low regard for gamblers. You can see these views in mainly Arabic and some African countries where parents will be shamed or mocked because of the gambling life of their children. In these circumstances, people will always hide their gambling activities from their parents. But in most developed and secular nations, gambling is seen as a normal way of life and it will become a problem only when the person becomes an addict. In the Western World, it is even possible to see a father and son visiting or playing in a casino together. But you can hardly see such behaviour in my location.

Many of us still continue to hide our gambling because if our parents found out, they would definitely tell us to stop immediately and some even forced us to stop immediately. This will depend on each gambler because if they don't want to see their parents sad, they will immediately stop and some people don't gamble when their parents are at home. And I agree with you that no matter what, they can find out on their own without us telling them. Meanwhile, we also don't know how they found out when no one knew.

With their expectations and judgements, families can strongly affect behaviour. Children often disguise unhappy or unsatisfactory behaviour. Protecting our loved ones from pain is instinctual, and many would rather see their parents upset than their own desires or habits.

Its intriguing and disconcerting how parents can spot behavioural changes in their children. A deep-seated evolutionary drive to protect their children may explain this perceptiveness. Perhaps after years of seeing and engaging with their kids, they notice even small changes. Even if one thinks they've hidden their acts, tiny behavioural cues can reveal them. A subtle dance of acts, reactions, and concealing and seeking.

Gambling is not supposed to be for kinds. Many casinos and gambling companies do not allow children to register or use their services. Consequently, anyone up to the age of gambling is supposed to be able to make his decisions with little to no interference from parents or anyone.

If it is just my parents knowing that I am into gambling, they do and not that they really have any way to interfere as I'm independent and can take my decisions.

All casino prohibits children and underage from using their platforms to gamble. Gambling is strictly meant for adults and as an adult you're entitled to making your own life's decision and facing whatever consequences that follows without parents interfering because that's what makes you an adult. For parents that cares too much the only area they can come in is just to give advice of been mindful not to get into addiction. Their knowledge about me being a gambler doesn't tickle my fantasy of what they think about it whether they stomach it in good faith or not, that's part of adulthood.

Since I never involved myself in gambling, it was never possible for my father's parents to know about it. My parents trust me a lot so I won't do things that cause them to distrust me at work. But since I haven't participated in the earnings so far, even if it involves gambling in the future, it won't be based on my parents' money. If I have to join gambling alone, I will join gambling by earning myself. But it is undeniable that gambling is not a good act at all but it is one of the reprehensible acts.

For someone who is still independent may be scared of these, but now that in your own case, you're not a gambler like that, then there's nothing to hide from them, parents are not going to dislike us because we are gambling, but they will react negatively on is on knowing that we are gambling when we are not even serious with our lives, gambling is for fun and not to be abused, our relationship with our parents also will determine their take on such diwcovery that we gambles.

Yes and over time they, especially the people around us, will also find out about our gambling habits, it can be through anything, whether it's from your nature and behavior that has changed, and also in terms of your finances that are always experiencing problems, they will know it because they are one of the closest people in the environment around you. So instead of continuing to hide it then I think it's better for you to look for other alternatives that can take you to a safer and more comfortable place, and yes one of them is by always trying to stop doing it, I think there is nothing better than that.

Parents have a very strong sense of their children, whatever their children do they will at least be able to find out through any medium, so maybe I think it's wrong if you intend to hide it because it won't last long. It's better to tell them the truth and ask them for advice, both parents know how you are and what's best for their child, so of course it can be a huge encouragement for you to consider all the advice they give you. You are old enough to differentiate things and I think with that encouragement you just have to choose the wiser option when in that situation.

Although you may believe that you're hiding it, others (especially those who are close to you) notice. Everything about you, including your finances, behaviour, and acting, changes; sometimes without your knowledge. And let's be honest, people: are we really hiding anything? Not the greatest tactic, not the greatest at all

Parents have a sixth sense, oh boy. You wouldn't believe the things they pick up on. Though you may believe you're being cunning, they always know, I assure you. Therefore, why not be straightforward rather than engage in this game of hide-and-seek? Obtain their opinion and ask for guidance. They have seen things, heard things, and been around the block. And nothing, nothing at all, beats the wisdom of consulting someone who has been there, done that. Decide wisely by giving it careful thought. It is the extremely wise course of action

Some people especially in Asia still live with their parents and when their parents find out about their habits and the parents hate such kinds of actions, the consequences are not pleasing that's why most of them I think have been hiding this kind of habit until they have no other choice but to tell them about it. Just like my Brother's friend who got himself in trouble when the gambling den got raided by the police and caught him when he was in jail, he explained everything to his parent and confessed how and who people influenced him on gambling and it was his cousins.

In most Africa homes, gambling is regarded as one the vices that a responsible child shouldn't get engaged in and that's why most African youths who engage in gambling doesn't allow their gambling activities get to the notice of their parents as they'll never find it acceptable no matter how hard you try to make them accept gambling.
So the best thing to do when an African youth doesn't want to attract the wrath of their parents is to stay away from gambling.

Well, what they would say now? It doesn't matter anymore but back then, I don't want to recall anymore those moments. So, I'll talk about the present time.

They sort of aware of it and I even saw one time that my mom talked about gambling on an app which is popular today. And even saw the bet slip in the history of her phone.

I guess she had an idea about that on me so, that probably concludes that it's fine whether they know or not in present time.
