A family member reported to me that her eighteen years old son has started gambling. She is not worried that he is gaming but her problem is that he is a student that solely depends on her for everything he needs. Her fear is also that her son might start stealing from her if he has no access to the money he needs to gamble. My relative has even started suspecting that some money she feels was misplaced might have been stolen by her son.
Nowadays it is very difficult to tell what you kid is doing, what they are capable of doing or not. Digitalization has weakend family bonds. Because at age 18 why would a kid without a job , who is still dependent on his parents be gambling? It is getting increasingly hectic to keep tabs on one's kids. The gambling industry seems like it is out there look for the next teenager newbie to prey on.

Your aunt should better assume her son is already addicted to gambling. She should get him engaged in a serious activity. Something that would afford him no time to think about gambling. It could be a physical activity or a competitive activity.

Well, the mother cannot force him to stop because he is never going to, but calmly, if he's being advised on the reasons why not to gamble, then he might stop, and to get him to stop, you will also be giving him some advice, asking him to heed the mother's advice. If the guy is truly not gambling with his mom's money or even stealing to gamble, then there's nothing wrong; gambling is not a bad thing. Although the woman should just take her time to access the boy and know if he is stealing from her, there are ways to tempt him and see if he falls into the temptation of stealing to gamble. If he is not, just advise her to let her son gamble.

Her fear is also that her son might start stealing from her if he has no access to the money he needs to gamble. My relative has even started suspecting that some money she feels was misplaced might have been stolen by her son.

I spoke to my nephew and he told me that he has never stolen from his mother to gamble. And he gambles with only his savings from his weekly stipend he receives from the family. And he won't gamble if he has no savings to do that. From my observation, he is a responsible gambler that is just enjoying the game and making a little money occasionally. The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?

Since your nephew is already 18 years old there isn't much his mother or the rest of your family can do. As long as it's legal for him to enjoy gambling then trying to stop him is going to be very hard. Many young people these days enjoy gambling without becoming addicted and starting to steal from friends and family. In my opinion it's a good sign that he is so open about his new interest in gambling, I would be more concerned if he starts lying about his new habit. As for his mother I can understand that she is concerned and would like for him to stop, unfortunately he is 18 and can make his own decision. If she is his only source of income at the moment while in university, then she can say that he shouldn't use his money for gambling. Or lower his monthly allowance if he has too much spare money available for gambling. How about finding a compromise instead? Your nephew could look for a small student job where he earns some money part time and then it doesn't feel like his mother would give him money for gambling.

This is easy, the advice should be for the mother that limits the budget of the boy so that he doesn't have much to gamble. Just go to the roots of why this boy can gamble, so if there's not that much money then that only means that he's got a limited move and can't deposit much.
That will serve as a forced lesson to the boy and I think that he'll learn that when he starts to feel that the budget was lessened. Although a possible rebelling action and recoil could happen but expect the positive side and effect.

This should be stopped at the right time, if not he could end up with addiction. During their school education they shouldn't be exposed to such activities. Nowadays this is really difficult, it is the parents responsibility to explain the student in this best way and keep him away from gambling. Once started to experience the addiction, surely it'll keep them follow it unlike the scenario around them.
Financial freedom is the ultimate priorities of everyone in the universe, we need it to achieved our goals and paying our bills independently. That alone will puts respect on your name without been a dependent clause on your guardians. Gambling is present and legal, specifically now that's online, which is easily accessible to everyone without differentiating the age number level. Gambling are not meant for teenagers, rather by working class individuals, those that have a profession going. Teenagers who gamble should be urged to quit because it would be the beginning of their down fall.
I agree financial freedom is something everyone needs but parental intervention is essential for children and teenagers. If they give up everything, they become addicted to gambling and put their lives at risk. Parents have the biggest responsibility to stop teenage gambling addiction. Measures should be taken to prevent the child from misusing the smartphone by monitoring who the child is interacting with and what they are doing on the mobile all the time. We should refrain ourselves from gambling. If necessary, those with whom there is a danger of becoming addicted to gambling if you keep friendship or associate with them, those dishonest company should be left.

      -     Simply telling your child to stop gambling is not enough to make him take action to stop. You need to be able to explain it properly so that he can understand, so that he will stop voluntarily because he knows the reason why he needs to stop.

Yes, it may be right that in another angle of his gambling he is responsible, but of course we should not let him lead to the chance that he will become addicted to gambling, this is just my reminder.

I don't think the forum is the right place to judge your nephew. Unless more information related to his activities are shared here none of us can judge him. Do remember every addict would always defend themselves by telling lies. If cash is missing from the house then things have gone from bad to worst. Just by talking you cannot judge or conclude whether he is a responsible gambler. My recommendation would be to keep an eye on him and if things look worst then necessary actions should be taken against him.
We can only advise him to approach his nephew and talk privately and try to explain about the dangers of gambling so that his nephew understands and can leave slowly before it's too late to realize. Young people their age need to take a different approach from adults because they tend to be sensitive if someone approaches them and suspects them. They will protect themselves so that others cannot influence them, especially those who are not too close to them.

But I think he can try to talk to his nephew privately and make him aware of all the dangers that can be caused by gambling. It may take time for him to accept what @ OP explained and digest it properly. Embrace him like your own child even though he is @OP's nephew and treat him well, later he will understand the intent and purpose of @OP speaking like that.

What will be your advice for this young boy?
Help him understand responsible gambling by enlightening him about the potential risks associated with his gambling activities, including the possible impact on his studies. Make sure he comprehends that gambling is an addictive activity and emphasize that developing an addiction is a deeper and more serious concern than mere participation.

I'm pleased that you are seeking advice from the community regarding this matter. It would be beneficial to monitor his actions while maintaining an open and positive approach of support toward him.

If I were her, I won't be afraid if he has stolen the money, but afraid that his morals are broken because it's not time yet to play gambling. because his psyche (young) is still unstable. He could be an emotional person when mature. he will probably spend more time in casinos without thing again his future.

What will be your advice for this young boy?
maybe it's better to add him to tutoring outside school, I have a nephew who is always active when school hours are over, so in that situation, his father brings him to take additional lessons Piano player outside the main school.

<...>

Well, I don't think it's a good idea for him to spend what little pocket money his mother gives him on gambling. Let him spend it on going out with his friends, on entertainment, but not on that.

My advice would be to teach him mathematics applied to gambling. If he is a student, even if he is not a science major, he will understand and see that when one gambles, the expected return is usually negative, then act accordingly. After a talk like that, and maybe I would take him to the casino one day, for normalising the subject, giving explanations about odds, HE and EV, negative in this case in casino games.

After that, I would tell him not to gamble with my money, that if I found out he was doing it, I would not give him any more pocket money. But I think that the explanations would be enough to open his eyes so that he wouldn't have false hopes about gambling.

That is one form of the lack of parental supervision of their children and also the wrong association in making friends, I'm sure he also has friends who like to gamble so that it affects him.
He must be given direction before it's too late because the impact of gambling addiction for a student is very bad and can affect the performance of his brain in learning while at school.
After all, he is still a student and has not been able to work to earn money for gambling, so when he is really addicted, it can have a negative impact steal to gamble.

You are more experienced at gambling so you can give advice and direction to your nephew.
Do not let the younger generation be poisoned by gambling activities which can be addictive and then do things that are not desirable.

Stealing money from him is a risk that is as close to reality as it is likely to be. There is an even bigger risk that does not rule out the possibility that it will happen if his child continues to play gambling games such as robbing until he is ready to kill to fulfill his gambling hobby.
We have found many stories in the media related to murder cases due to gambling motives.

As a parent, I will not directly forbid the child to stop gambling, the approach I take is by saying that get a decent job first. Please fulfill all your wishes from the results of the income you get from your work.
Psychologically, children will fight when their wishes are denied or prohibited. But give him the choice to think.

It is a complicated subject, as it depends a lot on the discipline and education that the young person has received.
If the parents are communicative and the child is obedient, the best way is to teach the youngster the harm that games of chance can cause if they are played irresponsibly.
In addition, it is necessary to "awaken" in young people the need to direct part of the money they receive to something that is not related to gambling, either in some investment for the future or in another leisure activity that provides moments nice.

If it were a child, it would certainly be best to fully control the spending of money, but as we are already talking about an adult, it is necessary to think that he will be able to seek other "sources of income" to continue playing, so the best way is certainly dialogue.

At this age, children are often exploring new things. And whatever they like, usually they will continue to do it. The problem is related to gambling. what is worrying is if he continues to play gambling and then becomes addicted to gambling, this is what is dangerous. because after all, at this age, most teenagers are still unstable and cannot manage and control themselves properly. Not only financially but also mentally and emotionally. Meanwhile, in gambling, everything has to be good, otherwise there will be more negatives than positives. As parents, our job is to monitor, guide, and also give direction if it is felt to be too much. give understanding to him so that he can be wiser, smarter, and also alert in any condition, especially in gambling. Take care and control yourself so that you can stay under control and not get addicted to gambling which will give more negative issues later. Tell them slowly.

He never stole from his mother but he is putting his mother's money where it should not belong and that is in his education, Young men should know that they are not free to do what they want to do if they are not yet earning on their own, gambling is vice and parents knows that gambling is an addiction they have no way of knowing if their children are already addicted and they will resort to bad deeds to get more money because when it comes to addiction no money is enough.

The kid should stop if he has respect for his parent, no parent will tolerate their children gambling if they are still studying, and it will affect their studies.

It's easy to deny things when someone has gotta know that you're gambling. The boy is still a teenager and that's why he might have told you a lie or he could also be telling the truth.

The boy should just have to stop gambling because he's starting to build it up. By the time that he gets his job then he can continue again so that he's earning what he's using in gambling.

That's also the advice to me by my parents that if ever I've got vices or what not, it should come from my own effort and salary.

Even though he was gambling use his weekly savings but it must be monitored properly. I meant there must be a prevention act before he was being addicted with gambling. Always try to tell him about the risk once he becomes addicted. He shall only focus on his study. He must stop as he doesn't have active income. He may potentially face a trouble in the future once he becomes very addicted to the gambling and he doesn't have money to play.
Try to stop him before it's too late. I can understand he has been trying properly using money from his saving but a prevention act is needed to make sure he will not be addicted.
It will be so difficult to stop him if he will be addicted to the gambling. Try to take care of him before it's too late. He was doing everything correctly but since he has no active income source and his mother must be careful with him.
