Topic: Gambling Education. - page 2. (Read 764 times)

Educational programs cannot include much more important subjects for teaching, such as cryptocurrencies, but you want them to teach gambling. In my opinion, this sounds too unrealistic, no one would even consider this, why teach something that is prohibited?

In addition, gambling is strongly tied to the emotional aspect, which means that each person will perceive it differently, so there cannot be any one program that would work the same for everyone. There are various courses on trading, technical analysis and much more, but there is no such thing in gambling, everything is different there and I’m not sure if there can be any education in gambling. I have previously tried, with varying degrees of success, to apply the theory of probability to betting, there is a certain result, but this is just one of the possible strategies.

Gambling education. I don't think so. Why do we always have to rely on our government when it comes to educating our children? It's the parents' responsibility to also teach the kids what is wrong and right or what could harm him/her or not in the future.
Using schools to teach kids about gambling discipline is just opening a portal to make them a gambler. Will you really agree with that? There are innocent kids out there who don't know about it. There are also adults who grew up not knowing about any gambling game or the sports industry having a gambling method too. Let's keep it that way, and preserve their innocence instead of giving them the idea in school just because we want them to be a "better gambler".
There are other ways. Strengthen the agency of whoever is handling these gambling problems. Giving power to the authorities to check the IDs of those who are on gambling sites. Transparency of a gambling site with the authorities but still keeping the privacy intact. And more.

While gambling education teaches how a person must control himself and prevent gambling addiction, gambling education can be taught. But this gambling education could probably be taught by parents first so that children know how to behave towards gambling. What you need to worry about is how children socialize because it is in this social environment that anything can happen and without strong self-control, they can fall into the wrong path. So gambling education may be necessary in some countries that allow gambling to anticipate the rise of underage children who often gamble without restrictions.

Yes, we know that there are countries which are liberated and there are counties which are conservative on which means that education or included into their curriculum would really be entirely be depending which things need to be allowed or not. Therefore, government would really be always having the final say whether they would really be applying it out or not basing up countries cultural aspect and peoples preference or really that part of their behavior on which if you do live on a place where gambling is allowed or rampant then it does basically means that it is really that legal and i dont really that much sure if there are some gambling related subjects wayback when im still on schooling because usually this could really be mentioned on social studies about addiction which it isnt really that just limited to gambling but also into different forms of addiction on which it is really that normal to be taught at school. There's no specific subject for that but at least there are some side notes that mentions about addiction which needs to be controlled and to be avoided.


Not really that necessary since education wont really be that something that will really be that could be available most of the time but with using up with your own common
sense then you would really be able to find yourself to make out those right decisions on how to deal up if ever you would really be able to encounter such addiction.
Common sense would be enough and self control or moderation but it seems that some people do really forget on this one and really that ending up on a disaster.

This varies greatly between countries. In mine, for example (Brazil), sexual education is not even part of the curriculum in schools.
But, regarding the subject you addressed, I think that a specific subject on gambling is unnecessary, however it would be very useful if all schools in the world could teach children basic notions about economics and investment, that would be something very relevant and certainly extremely important for the development of a person and the long-term improvement of the country.

However, in some countries this will be an impossible subject to teach, as teachers are not even paid adequately, so analyze with me... how is a teacher going to teach financial education if he doesn't even know what inflation is, something basic, and is he "drowning" with his own credit card?

The conscious use of money and what can be spent on gambling or any other high-risk business should indeed be fundamental in schools, but for many countries this is unfortunately far from becoming a reality.

As like the sex education,the gambling education also the needed one for the human being.Due to the convective thinking,the sex education was not implemented in the developing and under developing nation.If the gambler play the game without the knowledge,surely it will leads to the loss.Instead make the people to learn gambling at the early stages helps to control the gambling and stay away from the gambling addiction.The educated gambler will play with the control deposit and the control number of games per month.

I think gambling education really needs to happen. I know someone who went into it without any knowledge at the time and lost almost everything. It is a sad situation for him, but if he had been educated at the time, he could have reduced his risk and not lost all his money. Many people may have lost a lot of money, perhaps uneducated and uninformed. Although there is no education for everything, there should at least be a system that teaches that one can adjust one's own risk and take bets accordingly. Otherwise, when we look at it the other way around, everyone learns from their circle of friends in some way, but it is necessary to question exactly how much knowledge you can have with this learning.

One of the major reasons why countries ban gambling os because of the ugly outcome of most gambling addicts and also many of the immoral characters that are displayed in the casino,  casino are seen and viewed as an outlaw games centres and for that in some countries,  casinos are seen as black spot and citizens who go to such places could be arrested and prosecuted for that so most of the visitors already are aware of that and that why you must go into some physical casinos with your IDs for easy identification in case of police raids.

Countries do have their own big reasons why they ban gambling. We can't just simply say that they can instead add a gambling related subject as part of the education. Remember that culture plays a big role on gambling status of a country and also how worst the gambling-related crime on that country.

Just let these countries that implement a gambling ban to be like that.

It's just simple, if gambling is against a law, then comply with it. Face the consequences if want to face the risks.

The conditions for someone to be able to enter the world of gambling are not only a matter of age, because someone who is 18 years or older cannot guarantee whether they really have mature thinking too...? In reality, this is not the case, where there are still many people who are mature enough in age, but they cannot control themselves over their gambling activities which ultimately makes them crazy and addicted to gambling. So this is where learning about gambling is needed so that they can understand and interpret correctly what is meant by maturity in gambling.

Informally both types of free sex education and gambling education have also been taught in schools which are linked to the religious curriculum, so in my opinion not everything needs to be made into a new curriculum because the religious curriculum already discusses in detail the activities prohibited in religion. However, I do not yet know the condition of all countries regarding the increasing concern about gambling addiction, but if it is necessary to eradicate gambling, the government will suggest that schools focus on providing gambling education so that the next generation does not have an impact on increasing gambling addiction.

Even though gambling education is not included in the priority scale in school education, in my opinion it is necessary to add some brief explanations regarding gambling education, at least providing education not to gamble because you have to bear the consequences of high losses due to the impact of gambling addiction.

Well in as much as that is,  we have to do first of all take proper consultation before diving into any conclusion on this topic and that is because gambling and it liciesing still have something to do with the government and it agencies and at that we have to make proper reseachnas to know what the role of the government is to promoting a healthy gambling habits.

Just like what the government role is in smoking and production pf narcotic products,  and for that it is very important to conclude that the government have a role they play as longitthey drives taxes and revenue from gambling and also the government have the responsibility to protect the citizens from the dangers of this two things gambling/narcotic usage.

There are so many things that should have been added to the school curriculum like foreign exchange or trading currencies. Educating about money seems less important for schools when in fact we are dealing with money every day in our lives but there is no proper education about it in schools.

So instead of teaching students about gambling, why not teach about money? There is more to it than casinos. I learned more about money online and in this forum but not in school as I only learned counting the money in school not its history and how money started. Once kids learns about it, they may avoid gambling.

Yes, I believe that the legal age for gambling in many nations is 18 years of age or older, and I believe that this is the case. Young individuals under the age of 18 frequently receive gambling instruction from their elders once in one of two ways: either they choose to educate them or they are constantly present when competent gamblers are. Due to the fact that many nations do not place a high priority on gambling, many young individuals violate the age restrictions for gambling. They did not regard the laws as being so serious.


We all understand that gambling is bad because it has more negative effects than positive ones, so educating people about it is pointless. Despite this, more young people will engage in gambling-related activities if it is included in the curriculum at their schools. And once more, I doubt that many countries will even accept that due to the religions they follow. Countries are strongly opposed to gambling because of religion, and today the two most popular religions are Islam and Christianity, both of which forbid it.

About the violation of age standard, I think this on the casino, it shows how their KYC compliance system sucks, if they are using the strict KYC system, no any under age can bypass it, a strict KYC system does not ask for your valid identity card only, they wil ask you to provide your ID + yourself holding the ID on your right or the left hand, and they will make sure that you don't upload a old picture because their system will only give acesss to your camera without the gallery option where you can upload old pictures, you can't cheat this KYC system.

If any countries doesn't allow casinos to run in their land it's not a bad thing generally, maybe the government of such country sees things differently? Because the truth is somehow gambling companies are just reaping people off, and the only reason why some countries allow casinos to run is because they are also benefiting from those casinos, so to me, if a country says no to casinos it's not bad at all, the rules, laws and religion of everycountries are different.

You might not like this but there is nothing educative about gambling, losing money is a 95% certainty in gambling, what is there to educate people about? That they should use only what they can afford to lose? You decide to roll a few buttons online and turn $10 into $1000, that's without breaking a sweat, you don't have to be lectured that losing money doing this is the most assured result. You fall for it using big money shows you are an idiot, even older people knows this, when you don't sweat for the money, it's either gambling or fraud.

I think that sex education programs are not working as intended because we know that the abortion rate among minors is just as high and it's not that young girls don't understand that contraceptives protect them from pregnancy, they just don't understand that it's important to limit their desires. And their desires say that a condom dulls the sensation of sex.

I think that teaching gambling in school will lead to more underage people becoming interested in gambling. So this initiative is quite controversial.

I worry about the current generation of children not really listening to what their teachers say, in contrast to previous children who really respected their teachers and obeyed school rules, that's why I don't think it guarantees that they can be ready to get education about gambling because it will definitely make them try gambling. and don't understand the dangers because what we know is that differences in time and technology greatly influence a child's character.

So in my opinion, gambling education is actually very inappropriate, let it be the job of parents at home to provide guidance for their children to understand the dangers of gambling and stay away from it because it can cause addiction and harm themselves.

In fact I have hardly seen government or her agencies running a jingle or ads on gambling to promote it and this is because it doesn't have any significant purpose or benefit to the health of the citizens unlike the sex education or warning on the adverse effects of smoking to the organs of the body. So the government won't have any such business to begin to admonished people to gamble, not to gamble or its effects.

It is the work of the parents to do that verbally and physically on their kids and most times parents that are not gamblers don't bring such discussion up in the family until they begin to see traces of such behaviour on their children especially the sons and then they can now seat them down to talk against such vices and usually they discourage them from it with all the negative advises and references of gamblers who are addicts and never achieved anything through their life time. But this is not the same with sex education, for sex education whether in school or not, the mother takes it as a duty to educate, advise and admonished the daughters and even the sons on what they will expect through their ages and the fathers too admonished likewise.

Yep, I agree with that. I believe someone who doesn't know about something if told about it but then they are told that it's not good for them when they can clearly see that it doesn't have any immediate harm, they may get curious and want to at least try it themselves just for the experience. This happens with adults as well, and they have a lot more self-control compared to children.

I also believe that sex education can have a little bit of a negative effect on the minds of the students who are taught about it. I've even seen teenagers making jokes regarding the stuff they learn in biology regarding fertilization, private parts, and a bunch of other stuff related to human sex. So, sex education can have diverse effects on students regardless of the fact that it educates them about the dos and don'ts of it.

A certain age or after a certain class might be a good criterion for gambling education so that when the children are growing big, like 18 or above, that's when they learn about it so that they can decide what's good and what's bad for them and even if they for trying it, they are at least mature enough to manage the risks and stuff.

Teaching young kids about gambling education is actually a good idea to teach them about the possible risks about it such as addiction and financial problems, but I don't think that it must be included in the academic syllabus.
Sex education, on the other hand, are being taught in schools because it is a necessary thing for every human for it teaches us to be aware about our sexual health and about the human anatomy. Which, I think is quite different from the gambling education because not everyone will relate to it and not everyone should be involved in this type of discourse. If we really want to teach gambling education, I believe that it should start in our home and the community might help as well. This is just my opinion, I am not saying that gambling education is not important, it’s just that there are more important things that children should learn in schools.
