I'm pretty sure that most of the users on this forum are aged 20+ and are old enough to have the right to freedom of doing anything, including gambling. Usually someone who is an adult will not be too closely watched by their parents, I mean every parent who sees their child is very mature as a parent gives them the freedom to do whatever they want so that even if they gamble in front of their parents they will definitely be fine just like myself . But all of that is just an overall statement because it all depends on which country he grew up in, whether the country is predominantly Muslim and if the parents are Muslim, parents usually always remind him to tell him to stop gambling even though he is old enough because for Islam gambling is something bad or against the law. which is determined. So a gambler who has a certain religion will definitely gamble secretly without anyone even their parents knowing.
not all of these things can be told to your parents even if you live in the same house with them. even though i still live with my parents, i never tell them about my gambling activities because why would they know that? i am an adult and have earned my own money, even though i live with my parents, there are things that are my privacy and i consider that my gambling activities are my own privacy and no one knows about it, even my own parents.
the most important thing is that they know that what i'm doing is still at a reasonable level and in my opinion it's fine for an adult to gamble as long as it's not too excessive.

Maturity means not just talking about age but talking about thinking and level of understanding. If you already have a good level of thinking and understanding then you are worthy of being called an adult.
Don't be too arrogant, just because you are able to earn your own money, it makes you arrogant by saying that you are able to control your own gambling activities without having to involve other people. Her bro.. if you still live with your parents, this shows that you don't have independence and maturity yet because you still need the role of someone to answer all your problems and needs.
However, you have to remember that when you still live at home with your parents, everything that happens to you is still the responsibility of your parents.
So if you can, immediately tell the truth about the gambling activities you are doing, at least you tell this to your father because he is the one who understands this best. You need to do this to anticipate undesirable things happening, because by telling the truth about this, when you lose control of the gambling you do, then there is a father there who will always remind you of this.
And we need to remember that we never know what will happen tomorrow.
Until now, they do not really mind about my activities ever since I find success in this industry years ago.
They're not asking me if I am visiting to casinos, gambling or such. My dad was just simply having no comments unlike before when I was still financially broke back then. My mom however has a deteriorating dementia condition right now, but back then when she was still will she's not asking me about my gambling habits or so.
However, I just gamble at my own free time and money that I can afford to lose and mostly here online and not in-person.

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.

So far, my parents don't know I like gambling. For me, we don't need to publish this hobby to other people, including family and even parents. after all, I live with my small family and not under the same roof as my parents. Well, if they knew I liked to gamble, I can guarantee, I wouldn't give any explanation or make any claims. there's nothing I need to compromise on, even if they force me to stop. especially, if my parents don't ask anything. So, I really won't bother to say anything.
The point is, firstly, they have absolutely no idea what activities I do with my gambling. secondly, if they ask about it and ask for an explanation. as I said at the beginning, I will not claim anything or justify the actions I took. The point is I will only answer to them, whether my life is a mess. if yes, I will gladly accept any criticism and suggestions. but if everything is under control, and does not harm anyone.
For me personally, there is nothing to worry about. because, I know what I am doing and am responsible for it. it's that simple, no need to bother explaining anything. after all, we are adults who are fully aware of what we are doing.
Your parents don't need to know about each and every habit and activity of yours, especially when you are an adult. You might be obliged to keep them updated about what you do as long as you are living with them, not earning money and taking money from your parents for your personal expenditures and stuff, but as soon as you get out of that circle, you either start living out alone or start your family, you start working and earning money, that's when you don't need to tell everything you do to your parents apart from the things that you feel are important for them to know.
I understand that there needs to be a certain amount of respect that you need to have towards your parents because they have obviously done a lot of things for you and the sacrifices that they gave for you can never be paid back even if you spend your entire life, however, that doesn't mean that you share every activity and habit with them, that's a totally different and personal thing, in my opinion.

The way your parents will respond when they find out you gamble will depend on where you are from. In some societies that see gambling as a bad activity, parents from that region will be disappointed when they discover that their child is a gambler, but in regions where gambling is not tagged as a bad activity, your parents won't feel bad if they know that you are not an addicted gambler. I don't see anything bad in gambling, so your parents knowing about your gambling activities is normal, and I don't think it's bad, but they might warn you to stay away from addiction.

I stopped staying with my parents years ago, and whenever I visit them, I don't really stay long with them, so they know nothing about my gambling activities, and I haven't discussed it with them before because I don't think it is necessary. If I can tell my parents about my gambling activities, I'm sure they won't feel bad because I will explain everything about gambling to them and let them know that am not addicted to gambling, and that's what I do once in a while. 
My parents found out I was gambling when I was in high school. They did not react in any way, as card gambling was widespread in my country at that time, both among young people and older people.
When they found out that I liked to spend time in a land-based casino they took it more seriously. I remember that conversation with my father. I didn't stop gambling from that time, I just started hiding it from them.

No, they don't. They're both dead.
My father used to be very strict and scared of gambling. He was also a very religious man, thinking that it's a sin to gamble your money away, just as it is to drink it away.
I would never tell him what I do. It would only end with an argument.
My mother was much better at understanding these things and she wouldn't mind as long as I don't lose too much and go into debt. I wouldn't tell her anyway just to give her less things to worry about.

They knew that I gamble. They didn't like it at first because I was too young when I started but that's how they knew me and they never lacked of reminder to me. It's that because of how curious I was, I got hooked.What was their first reaction towards your gambling habit ?
They became mad at me because I still didn't have a job at that time and I was still in school but then eventually, they were able to accept that and told me that I needed to prioritize what I had to prioritize before I gamble. Because if I don't, they know what they'll do to me and will stop every support that they can. I know that they're just words of discouragement to help me out but I took it seriously and that's how I responded to them and showed them that I am a responsible guy. Even if I gamble, I'll never break any promise that I've made to them that I am aware of what's happening to me and I won't compromise the future that they want me to have.

My parents as aware that I gamble and they do not have problem with that. I'm like the good son of the family so they believe any choice I make is likely not a bad one since I have not been giving them troubles. I am very close to my dad and there is no way I can could keep that away from him. Gambling is not that bad of a thing that we have to make it a top secret.... it is just about making money nothing else. It only becomes bad when it is done in such a way that it affects our finances and behavior so badly. The point is you have to be a responsible gambler with all the risks that are there, and also of course by applying all the limits, not to overdo it because it could be without realizing you will be trapped in an addiction that you never wanted maybe. Honestly, I don't understand what you're saying when you say that you can earn. How can you say that for something that only relies on luck. So gambling is only really about luck and anyone should apply that mindset so as not to overdo it.

Even though im playing some gambling games online but it isnt really necessary for me tell about such activity yet im not really that compromising too much money out of it and it is something not really be that in concern. As long you do have that control then it should be just fine. If you are living far away from your parents then its just that normal that everything you do would really be that totally cant be known by your parents. It would really be just that depending if you are a type of person whose really that open towards your parents then it wont really be that needing for such
forcing out on doing such thing.
Even with those simplest habit that you do have but it comes to the point that it is already that too addictive then it would really be that just ideal that telling everything towards
your parents as some sort of monitoring on things that you do wont really be that a bad idea. IT is really just that there are individuals who doesnt really like
getting that being involved with their parents on whatever they do.
No my family doesn't know about it. I come from a middle class family. You all know what a middle class family is like. Especially in countries like Bangladesh. They feel that usually no work can be done before the completion of the study which damages the study. But they don't know that there is no guarantee that they will get a good future by studying. This is why I hide this work from my family members. Besides this is an illegal work or profession in our country. For this reason I did not inform my family about this as they might think that it might cause me problems in future. That's the main reason why I hide this work from my family. Considering all these aspects, I did not say anything about this matter to anyone. That's why this matter is hidden from my family. I think I will hide this matter from my family in future also because I am currently studying in class 12. I am not interested in telling anyone until I am stable in a place. If I tell this matter to my family then I have to face many problems.

I don't know for sure about that. Because I personally never asked my parents directly whether they knew I liked gambling or not. Besides, I don't think it's very important to ask my parents about it. Because now I am free from the responsibilities of my parents, besides that I also have a family. So basically my parents don't need to know about my gambling habits. Because now the most important thing is that I always send them a certain amount of money regularly every month and I like to visit them regularly. So about the fact that I like to gamble, if my parents knew it would definitely be calm and normal. Because my parents never questioned or questioned the paths their children took. In essence, my parents were not overly restrictive parents. Therefore, I don't need to tell my parents my whole life in depth, including my gambling habits.

To be eligible to gamble, in my country, it is expected for such an individual to be 18 years old and above, which at 18 years, it is presumable that such an individual is not a kid anymore, and as such liable to whatever action he/she takes. So for me, one thing I have noticed that gets parents worried when been told his/her child is gambling is as follows:1. The fear of getting addicted: Because the fear of not having their kids get addicted to gambling is one reason why they will always want to be against it at all odds.
2. The fear of losing more funds than they could afford: Because the fear that a child will lose his money or the parent's money to gambling while they are away from home is another reason why they could dislike gambling.
3. The society view: what people will say about a kid seen gambling is another reason that will want to make a parent complain about his kid not to gamble, most especially if he/she is not yet of age.
4. Religious believe: Religious believe is another reason that will make a father or mother not want their kids gamble, most especially when it is regarded as a sin in their respective religion (i.e Muslims)

In various countries specially with the developed countries,the adult people will not live with their parents.So the gambler who separate from their parents can’t be controlled by their parents.Because the parents of the gambler doesn’t aware about the gambling by their childrens.If the gambler age was below 18 or still studying their academic,the parent response will be to quit the game after they aware about the gambler involvement to the gambling.If the gambler had started to earn the money on their own,the parents just say don’t get addicted to the gambling and play the safe game.Both the response is based on the earning capacity of the gambler.
