Although I admit that the internet provides facilities for everyone to access online gambling, even children. But we are not wise to blame
the internet entirely, I agree this is where the role of parents is very important to supervise their children when accessing the internet.
So parents really have to be diligent in checking what their children's activities are on the internet, the easiest way is to monitor the history of
sites that have been opened by our children. If history is found they open a gambling site, provide education that they are not allowed to open
a gambling site before they are adults.
I think that control over the execution of gambling sites in order to prohibit children under the age of 16-18 or even up to 18 years old should be done at the level of national legislation. The fact that schoolchildren, even elementary grades, can lose the little money they have from their parents is still nonsense. The bad news is that they are much more likely to become gambling addicts than people in adulthood. The fragile psyche of a child perceives such envy 10 times faster than an adult.
I admit that the reality is that there are still many children under the age of 18 who access gambling sites, because it is very easy for children to
access gambling sites. So I agree if the government participates in monitoring how gambling sites perform filters to prohibit children from
accessing gambling sites. So in this regard, cooperation is needed between parents, gambling site owners and the government. If all parties do not
take the problems of children who easily access gambling sites seriously, the future of these children can be destroyed. Children are more easily
addicted than adults, because their emotions are fragile and cannot think wisely. Strict supervision is needed to really prevent these children from
accessing gambling sites.
Unfortunately, of the four participants in the process, involving children in gambling, namely:
-the state and its laws:
-gambling sites:
-the child's parents:
-the child -
only the parents are fully convinced and try their best to wean the child from this danger. only.
The state looks at the problem in two ways, because the lobby from the Internet does not allow the adoption of prohibitive laws.
Sites are generally just business and they do not care who plays, as long as they make bets. And children themselves are subject to addiction to play. So the problem is practically insoluble.
Only weaning from a mobile phone or the simplest phone just to talk to parents can save the situation. Well, total parental control, of course, is not possible ...
