Topic: Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time - page 13. (Read 18982 times)

Well some adolescents will see things like this : Gambling = loose your money = suicide or evolving in risky and shady business to get your money back.
Thus said, even in regular job you can loose all what you have in case of robbery without having an insurance... So yeah, it is complicated

That's logically flawed. Robbing a bank could be successful too, without getting caught or risking your life. The shady businesses on the streets guarantee a profit. If one sells drugs on the street, he's guaranteed to make money. The case is not the same with gambling. You may or may not.

Although trying to make money with gambling is a stupid idea (and we have to make sure all young people know this fact in the first place), I wouldn't call it the riskiest enterprise. When you gamble online you can lose your balance, while when trying to rob a bank you can lose your freedom or even your very life. Also, there are a lot of shady businesses in the streets which are much more dangerous than gambling. Since adolescents are tend to do something risky anyway, maybe gambling is not that bad of an option.

And where the money will come from 
Making a big profit from faucets is unlikely to happen. Loosing your dad money is not cool and will get the gambler kicked from the house 
Lottery is pure hasard and the worst thing to do ever even if you picked almost all the sites, there is a risk of loosing it all.

probably if you aren't using your own money to gamble and you take home the win, especially if the gambling game is based on luck and not sports betting something like that, like lottery only one winner while there are millions of people trying to win it in hopes to be rich.

Wouldn't call gambling a free source of money. It is the riskiest source where someone needs a lucky shot to be rich while dozens of people lost almost everything...

I think most of the people are addictive to gambling which there is no age restriction and even most of the people for fun not to make money. So always most of the young people are very addictive for for free sources of money and they find gambling is the best way to make fast money.

Then we need to tells them to not playing gambling too often because they risk their money in the gambling games. They need to know this especially if the younger people are close with us or he is a member of our family because we don't want him to get addicting in gambling. The biggest problem that they can get is losing big money without thinking about their future, and this is dangerous to them.

Young age still have unstable thoughts, they are still looking for what they want and make them comfortable in a short time. Especially in gambling online in my country it is still rare to find a gambling addict until he really spends the money he has from his parents. Gambling is just a place for them to get rid of a slack, or just eliminate boredom. And also depending on the environment in which he lives, if he has friends with someone who is very dependent on gambling then he will be easy to become an addict, but for those who gamble just a distraction then he won't become an addict.

Digital currency makes it easier for young people to use online gambling. When a young boy or girl starts gambling from young age they become addicted when they reach to adult age. Then it is very difficult to quit gambling. The trend towards gambling is increased due to the much use of internet and it is not good, because gambling itself is a bad thing and is destroying young generation.

Agree! there is no age restriction for gambling because they might keep higher in order to gamble, there are many addicted people who will spend most of their time on gambling because they find difficult to work hard. Through gambling they should it is very hard to make money fastly.

It's not the darker side of crypto-based gambling, it's the only side of it. It just doesn't make sense for a gambling casino to require your identity and they sure are going to lose players when they do that or they might not even get players at all. Even if gambling is legal in your country and you're at a legal age, why bother registering in a gambling site that requires identification when you can simply register to one that doesn't?

The betting system in most games doesn't really feel like you're gambling since for one, you're not really betting real money. And I think this is where gambling habits start as a kid. Although we really can't put the blame on online games that have a betting system because ever since, gambling has been a common thing in our society. Even when it's frowned upon, everyone's either doing it or has done it.

It's definitely becoming more and more prevalent as time goes on, due to more and more methods available online to gamble with and more sites with little or no verification required to deposit and withdraw. There's two sides to crypto-based gambling, and this is the darker side.

As for CS:GO Skins and items associated with gambling there, I believe everything really started with the concept of cases to unlock skins, starting sometime in 2013, and gambling with virtual skins really began to grow around that. There's definitely some actions being taken by Valve to stop this, including cases being locked with no option to unlock in Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as the regular banning of gambling site bots to stop sites from operating, though.

It’s the love of making money easily that’s why people end of becoming gambling addicts they think that in gambling they can have easy money and when they have spent far too much and haven’t won anything they continue to gamble because they think they can win some of their money back when never happens.

Loved the article, thanks for that

About the topic im more a type of you make your decisions and decide your own fate.

Right, some of them gamble with their parents' money, so they don't know the value of money but some of them gamble with their own money and if the gambling addiction becomes more popular, I think it is related to generation gap. Today's young people don't want to spend their time by working, they try to make money hand over first.

It's those loot chests, it's basically the same as gambling, especially if those items can be sold for real money.
Then there's those scummy Youtubers who are basically promoting skin gambling websites to 10 year old kids, these guys just have no morals.

I think it's a very bad trend that more and more games seem to rely on people getting addicted to these loot boxes. They're a huge income stream that they don't want to give up.
Recently my own country outright banned lootboxes and some game publishers (Guild Wars I think) were actually begging their customers to complain to the government about it. I live in Belgium btw.

Yes, i do strongly believe you.
Young peoples are really getting towards gambling much faster.
They are not treating gambling as a source of income but they are getting addicted by it and addicition by gambling is really much bad and it can cost you a lot.
I have seen a lot of peoples who have wasted their lives in gambling and they simply spend all of their hard earnings into gambling.
Gambling is not actually that bad but should be treated much cautiously.

It's not that they don't know about it. Others know about it but since their kids have been seeing their parents gamble ever since, it has become an acceptable thing for them. I guess it's because kids want to try different things in life and gambling just happened to be one of those common ones. Everyone wants to try out their luck and see if they can hit the jackpot. If they did, then lucky. Otherwise, they move on and try to do other things. Sadly, gambling makes you addicted. It gives you reward whenever you win and people get addicted to that kind of feeling. I will not blame online gambling, honestly. I blame the capitalists. Even when they don't get addicted to gambling, they are going to be addicted in some other thing that benefits the capitalists. And if there's someone to truly blame, it would be the parents since they were not able to raise their child properly.

You and I both know that gambling will never disappear from this world. The only thing an individual can do is improve his character to the point that he's not gonna be eaten by gambling anymore. People think it's "normal" to be hooked on gambling one time but it's actually a sign of underdeveloped character. Improve your character by researching about gambling addiction and you can move on from it.

If the experienced long time on gambling definitely they will be advise us to stay from gambling investment but they will involve themselves alone on gambling for sure.

Addiction stories are many on gambling as like that we will be able to find the loose fund completely from your pocket.
