I also suggested that to the child's parents, to immediately limit their child from gambling, but if I suggested that they should stop it immediately because by stopping it directly there would be something even worse than gambling addiction. So I suggest limiting it gradually step by step.
Parents have responsibilities to carry out, we often feel the pressured on our teens, it's our primary duty to lecture them on the right straight activities to carry out and gambling is not one of them. Gambling is placed to be dangerous for individuals who are yet to stand strong, depending on their parents for money. Watching a teenager gambling, I often feel sad and remorse for them because they are lost and have no one that would put them on the right line to follow, always keeping bad company's that served as distraction and indulging them in the wrong vibes.

I also suggested that to the child's parents, to immediately limit their child from gambling, but if I suggested that they should stop it immediately because by stopping it directly there would be something even worse than gambling addiction. So I suggest limiting it gradually step by step.
That is the correct way to reduce it gradually and not force it to stop instantly because stopping someone's addiction cannot be done very quickly, it takes a process and time to recover, sometimes it can take years depending on the level of addiction. The higher the level of addiction, the more difficult it will be. and it takes time, if the level of addiction is small then it could take months at the earliest.I have seen the application of such a method by reducing it gradually and not pressing to stop completely, it will be painful and will also continue to complicate the situation. I think as a parent you already know the character of your child so you know how to start and the most correct way is by reducing it slowly until it becomes saturated and finally the child can stop completely.
If you really want to stop gambling addiction, the best way is to indeed slowly let it go. If you go full stop instantly, the chances of you having a relapse because of sudden cravings for gambling is high. This is because for a very long time, you were dependent on gambling that it became a part of a routine which you were used to. If you will suddenly withdraw, your body will miss what you frequently do and eventually, you'll give in to gambling again. Withdrawal to gambling is a process. It's better to be slow and steady, rather than quick and inconsistent. Of course, nothing beats treating addiction with the help of professionals so you will be on the right track.

Gambling addicts make a way to hide their secrets anymore cause once they caught then one thing for sure they will have a problem. And also a gambler must know the consequences once they fall into addiction. One of it is that once they are addict they will become a introvert person cause they don't want to expose their behavior so they will choose being alone and play gamble anytime than having fun with friends.
And this is what I worry about when the addict chooses to be alone and becomes an introvert. He was too absorbed in the gambling he was doing which made him unable to know the outside world other than the world of gambling and this was something bad where he isolated himself. And I've also met people like this, where they just stay in their room, when they leave the room they only go to eat and go to the bathroom, and when they leave the house they only go to top up their balance. And what's worse is that he is still a teenager and still relies on money from his parents.Now taking into account how rebellious teenagers can be, it will be difficult to convince him that easily but it has to be done, and probably the easiest method to get him to wake up and try to get professional help is by not giving him money anymore so he understands the value of money and how difficult it is to earn it.
Yes, it is true what you said that if this behavior is not stopped immediately then this will make his situation worse and maybe this will change his thinking that he was born and destined for this world only to gamble.

Yeah, if the desire to quit is stronger inside no matter what the person will push it to happen, not easy as if it is that easy maybe we will see fewer people who will be engage and be addicted, most might quit before addiction take place but once you engage yourself and you already entertain the pleasure, most of the time you got out of control with your decision making.
Being responsible is something that needs to work out before stepping yourself into this activity. If you know by yourself that you
are not that good at controlling your emotion it's best not to take this route and find other things to entertain yourself.
Yes I will agree with you on every point made on this your comment, the act of responsible gambling has so much with first taking that conscious step to want to gamble responsibly coupled with a strong will to abide by your guidelines with which you will want to follow to guide you onto responsible gambling as anything outside this may cause you to still be the same regular gambler.Being responsible is something that needs to work out before stepping yourself into this activity. If you know by yourself that you
are not that good at controlling your emotion it's best not to take this route and find other things to entertain yourself.
If you have a strong desire to stop then it's the very first step and most important step before to take, the desire to stop or reduce to responsible gambling must be stronger than the desire to want to always stake a bet or gamble. This works better for people who have strong self control as they can easily stop and decide not to continue with the act.
It's even more difficult when you have relatively good intervals of wins, you may want to continue because you will feel you have mastered the act enough not to loose or get addicted and may probably turn it into another source of income, the pleasure that comes with it been an alternative source of income can gradually get you engrossed and addicted gradually.so one should be conscious and particular about wanting to stop or be controlled.
A kind of adrenaline rush where you think that you can easily repeat what you just achieved from your previous sessions unknowingly that chances is still the same, the risk of losing is not by far and the outcome might be different from what you earned from your previous try, and from that point the aggressiveness inside you will push you to keep aiming for more.
You will try everything to make that result inside you, but most of the time it will be on the other-side, leading you to go deep and engage too much. It's about on yourself discipline and willingness to keep that control and not to follow that desire.

Of course not if you depend on computer games, but that is a waste of time because we only do something other than just playing the game. Games like that can make us lose track of time and become lazy about doing other things so we are not productive even though our other friends are chasing their dreams.I agree with the psychologist because, with that small chance, a person will see that he can win the game and he will try hard. Even having to sacrifice his time to achieve better results than other people.
Nevertheless, the heads of esports organizations have come up with a great way to cause addiction and the strongest motivation in children playing their computer games, such as Dota 2 or Lol or CS2. The fact is that they show how much the finalists of tournaments earn, and children see that there is a chance to become a cyberspopter, and not work all their lives. That is, in fact: when playing, children think that they are training to win a tournament where they will win money that will solve all problems. And according to the facts, they just play and play, and it won't do any good.
It's nice to see so many posts touching on responsibility and discretion with gambling. I think a lot of people will start to feel convicted and hopefully realize that they need to get on the right track. I personally have always tried to refrain from any gambling in casinos or games or anything like that. The most I really ever do is gamble a specified some at the beginning of a fantasy football season.
Because responsibility and wisdom in gambling can have a big influence on the results we get and no matter how much we win if there is no sense of responsibility then everything is in vain or lost in an instant as well as losses when we can be more responsible we will be able to stop or at least limit our finances so that didn't experience anything worse.Not everyone is able to have a sense of responsibility and be wise in gambling but we here as much as possible will always remind other members to be responsible for every choice when gambling.
I agree with you. Gambling is not a game for everyone. There are people who easily lose control of themselves and can easily lose money. The worst thing a player can do is start playing with money that cannot be lost or not their own money but someone else’s. I am generally silent about taking out loans or selling real estate, cars, valuables.
Gambling is an activity that carries a lot of risk and can cost large amounts of money in just a short time so as much as possible before deciding to gamble everyone must learn to accept defeat or accept all the risks they might experience.And this inability to accept defeat can trigger thoughts of borrowing money or selling valuables so that can keep betting and perhaps catch up on the losses have experienced.

Gambling should be a way of entertainment, distraction and pleasure, but not a way of earning money
That is if the gambler is a professional gambler and has a great sense of responsibility for gambling but most gamblers come to get a certain amount of profit not for entertainment. hero member

I believe that dependence on computer games is not terrible, because in fact a person wants to play them only because of dopamine. Get harmony of pleasure. But it's easy to stop, because such games do not promise you a cash prize and a life change. And these are exactly what makes many people think that playing they can really change their lives, as for example it happens in slots slot machines.
Psychologists have found out that if there is even a small chance of winning money in the game, then a person perceives the game in a completely different way and his motivation to play it increases.

You very correctly noted that awareness of the problem is the first step to eliminating it. If a person does not understand that he has problems and addiction, then it is very difficult to help him. I know people who resorted to the help of specialists and went to rehab to get rid of gambling addiction, but the fact that they ended up in rehab already indicates that they had a correct understanding of the situation
But I don’t agree with you that a person who had problems with anything, be it gambling, alcohol, drugs or anything else, can then return to the same place and start doing the same thing in moderation. I believe that very quickly he will return to the same problems as before
Yes, having awareness and being willing to admit that he is experiencing a problem and trying to talk to other people and find a solution can give him a way to think until he finds a solution. This will also be more helpful in finding a way so that people around him can share advice with him and provide encouragement and support.But I don’t agree with you that a person who had problems with anything, be it gambling, alcohol, drugs or anything else, can then return to the same place and start doing the same thing in moderation.

Returning to what he did will depend on the person because if he feels he has completely recovered from his addiction, he may prefer not to return. And even if someone goes back to what he did, he will be more careful because he already has problems with it. He will probably monitor himself so that he does not experience the same experience and will always try to take good care of himself.

Yes 100% agree with you mate stoping in gambling is can be done once that addict person has a determination to leave in the world of gambling cause it'l depends on a gambler if he need to adjust and accept the fact that gambling is not a good habit then he will try his best to leave in the gambling worlds there are many options or way to leave he must have another thing to become happy so that he won't remember to gamble anymore.
If the gambler can accept the fact that gambling is not a good thing for him and realizes that he is too deep into gambling and there is a strong desire to reduce his gambling activities and even stop his gambling activities, he will want to try to get out of gambling. No matter how hard it is, he will try and have many options to start changing so he will do other things to start diverting his mind about gambling. He will do his best because he really wants to cure his gambling addiction and try to stop his gambling activities.

It is either you are not deeply addicted or have a strong will to get out of addiction. It is also possible that you have noticed that you are getting into addiction and acted accordingly to prevent it. Either way it is good to know that you are able to beat that uncontrollable urge, I know addiction is hard to beat especially when a person's addiction is too deep. I was also addicted once, not to gambling but to MMO games. It was really hard to control the urge and I do everything just to get online every day and stay as much as my student budget can do. After I have spent my money, I ought to stay on the computer cafe just to watch others playing that game. It was hard to get rid but eventually, the game shuts down 
. I was lucky back then although was devastated when the game wasn't available anymore.
I feel lucky to still realize that I was almost too deep in gambling, so I decided to reduce my gambling activities. It was a difficult time for me because there was a strong urge to continue gambling while I kept thinking about the faces of my family. But with the desire that I could change immediately or not at all, I continued to try as hard as I could to reduce my gambling activities.. I was lucky back then although was devastated when the game wasn't available anymore.I used to really like the Need for Speed series games from the first to the last. It took up my time playing the game because I just played it all day without stopping except to eat and go to the bathroom. But I was lucky to be able to stop playing the game because there was a sudden need that required me to leave town for several months. And that's what made me stop playing the game. Fortunately, I have finished the whole series

I understand you, but it is easy to say than action. Have you been addicted to anything and tried to come out from the addiction of the thing. Let me say you are a womanizer, or drugs addiction and you were trying to leave those things? My brother it is not easy to come out oh!! I have heard and seen people testified in church how they managed left the addiction lifestyle of a particular thing they were frequently doing. It takes time before those things eliminated from their life. And before those things leave the person there must be some spiritual intervention, either prayers which is the most important one must be done and also the person action towards those things will be reduced. The person will not visit the casinos both online or physically sportsbooks.
What if I told you that I had gone through these things before but have managed to reduce them even though I could only reduce them slowly and am still trying now?It is either you are not deeply addicted or have a strong will to get out of addiction. It is also possible that you have noticed that you are getting into addiction and acted accordingly to prevent it.

. I was lucky back then although was devastated when the game wasn't available anymore. It's not easy and takes time but I really want to reduce my gambling time and it is a very very very difficult process for me. But it worked for me because I looked at my family and told myself that I really wanted to get rid of that addiction and start with myself. Prayer, desire, and effort are needed to achieve your desires and it requires time and faith to do it. You have to believe that you can do it and do it well.
At the end of the day, it is our will that will save us from the horror of gambling addiction.

20-30 years ago in order to gamble you had to drive to a casino or a bookie, today it's all laid down for you at the ease of your fingertips... yes, it is designed against you but people still get addicted to it just like alcohol, cigarettes and more ... the only trouble with this addiction is that it could be silent, invisible, there won't be visible symptoms...
Nonetheless, we still believe some people can gamble and keep it sane, we also believe in taking advantage of gambling offers (hence - our blog), but by all means your thread should not be taken lightly neither.
Thanks for posting this info.

I really do agree to this one, i think besides of that, Major Online Casinos praise Responsible Gaming all the time, but they are not really drawn to this. In fact a lot of users are beeing treated without any respect.
