Topic: Gambling Exposed to children - page 14. (Read 3947 times)
That's where the parents come in, if they let their children be exposed to it without doing anything, I think that they have already failed as a parent, you are the first defense of your child or any child for that matter to prevent them from discovering things that they aren't ready for yet.
These days I'm seeing many Youtubers and Twitch streamers are promoting Gambling websites [Dice, Sports Betting] and Poker Apps.
I know it's ok to gamble for having fun and socially but I don't think young people should be exposed to this when they're in school.
Most of them will only imagine "What 'IF' i win 1000x of this amount and i'll be able to do this and that"
The first thing where will they get the money, even if they get pocket money and use that to gamble then they'll slowly develop the habit of gambling disregarding short-term winnings - if they occur.
They'll pay a huge price with the tension they'll have thinking about this when their whole life is ahead.

Childrens with very innocent and aggressive thinking is highly feasible to catch a bad influence from gambling, so I really discourage them on making this as a form of entertainment within a young age. Though it's not really using money at first, but in event of society norms; using money as a tool to gamble would really lead these young people to have gambling addiction. We're creating little monsters for future crimes because of gambling that toxicate the minds of children.
I think the title should be "Children exposed to gambling".
Anyway, when we say children, we know they are minors and minors are not allowed to gamble, therefore they should be monitored by their parents and their addiction should not be blamed on gambling, it should be blamed for lack of monitoring by their parents. Gambling exist even before but it's not a deadly activities though really risky, and sometimes gambling makes us smarter as it will teach us on how to manage the risk despite losing.
No children would be expose to gambling if the parents are responsible.
i totally agree with you, there are all kind of bad stuff on the internet that is dangerous for kids, not just gambling, and parents know about that, if their kids are watching gambling streams or whatever other bad things, parents are the first to blame, it's their responsibility as adults to take care of their kids and teach them what they should and should not do.

Well, I believe this is a point that needs to be discussed.
Nowadays, children and teenagers have very easy access to the internet, social networks etc.
YouTubers and streamers take advantage of this and they will massively promoting gambling sites to expand their reach.
Of course not all youtubers and streamers do this, but there is a small portion that do.
I believe that for this to end or at least decrease, it will be necessary to create socio-educational measures or their parents to have greater control over what their children access in the internet.
I also think it would be interesting for the video platforms themselves to adopt measures for children to access these sites.

We were all children once! So before you start setting up some rules remember your childhood!
I have kids, and I don't plan to hide anything from them... Like for us, this world is slowly revealing to them, with all good and bad things! According to their age, I will teach them what they are able to understand... We parents must show our kids what is good and what is bad, and how to not overdo something, that can harm them in any possible way! After all, "life school" is something we all need to pass... so is there anyone better to explain things to kids than parents?!

Thinking that way allow your kids to more attach to you, knowing that you are there in case and you are willing to guide them on how to work and live a life without or with much lesser mistake.
Most parents do want to see their kids growing with a good characteristic, it's achievable if you are willing to guide them the right way.
You also experienced childhood and you don't need to make the same with them but much better to adjust with how the things are encircling them but be sure that you are there to set some limitations.
I'm open to exposing my kid to gambling but not actually make it like is a good thing to do for a source of income. It's true that we need to expose our kids to a better environment but they won't be learning from it. Opening them to a harsh environment will make them view life with survival skills but would rather not give them the idea of making a living by being a gambler.
It's not yet the right time and we should be responsible enough to guide them where they should go during their adolescence life. There are more important things that they should understand that would carry them on their own when they start to make some money.

if you are a parent or brother or uncle! pay attention to the children around youOnline casinos do massive promotions on Google that make even children expose it
Today's children are really very smart in using their smartphones and top up online games and online casinos with ease. this is already happening in my neighborhood
especially children who have a lot of pocket money then all they do is play and top up without caring about anything, then watch them

That's a strange thinking that you yourself love to play gambling but wish that your children does not involve in gambling. Children usually copy the parents and if they found parents playing gambling, they will definitely follow them.
If you want that our children does not play gamble, then we should stop playing gambling ourselves.
Should we go back in time and stop what we've been doing? No way, Isn't a bad parent not necessarily expecting their child to be bad too? indeed I admit that I have already gambled. But we can't let our children fall for it. As bad as the actions of parents, they still don't want their children to be like him one day. Farmers don't want their children to become farmers, so he sends his children to high schools to be successful and live better than him. street traders do not want their children to be like him, so parents will try whatever happens, don't let him become a difficult trader. Do you think your ugliness wants your children to imitate you? isn't it not? (even if you have bad luck) Maybe not for someone like you.
Although outwardly children often imitate what their parents do, it does not mean that parents cannot learn from the dark past and hope that one day their children do not want them to experience what their parents went through. A parent would want the best for their child. Even by sacrificing one's life.
Imagine buddy how you gamble in front of your child !!!!
Lately, it is very difficult to have control over the things that the children are exposed to, so the best option is that the parents are always talking to the children, explaining things in practice and the consequences. at least until today i haven't seen stories of children losing money in gambling, maybe i'm wrong but i think there is still not a large number of children creating accounts in online casinos
Yes, and it all depends on the parents how to give child understandable advice about the internet which can have a bad impact on children, because nowadays it is very easy to find sites that are totally inappropriate for minors and also lots of gambling advertisements etc. which has a negative impact on children.because a child is a creative process of brain growth and if he is curious he will open it and do it even though it is impossible because it all depends on his intelligence, so it all depends on parental control every child holds a gadget connected to the Internet, and there are many children under age who engage in gambling without the knowledge of their parents.
Streamers are not harming anybody by promoting gambling. Everyone is responsible for their own choices and it is up to individuals to limit their risk.
Everyone yes, responsible for what to take in and not to. We can not stop anyone tempting others by any mode. Its a world of business. Everyone is aiming to earn by something or the other. Online has become a foundation to all now a days to prompt themselves and earn. It depends on the one who chooses what. Humans are easily attracted towards fantasy. Children do fall into it easily as everything would seem attractive when they grow. Its parents, teachers and others nearby are responsible for children's growth.

That's good parenting that you've got. Even though we're not all the same on how we handle and forbid our children not to be as curious as they are.I have kids, and I don't plan to hide anything from them...

This type of parenting of yours shows the positive side of showing them both, good and bad so that they will realize what they have to do, which is good and which is bad.
the only way that this will stop is if all the social platform or streaming platform prohibits their users or content creator from advertising any type of gambling sites or if the government prohibit gambling site advertisement altogether. until that happens you'll continue seeing them. the content creators that advertise gambling sites don't really care if their audience became addicted to gambling or not. all they care about is that advertising these gambling platforms will earn them some easy bucks.
There is not an epidemic of children gambling so it would be ridiculous if platforms started censoring this type of content. There is no way to prevent people from making bad decisions with 100% effectiveness. Streamers are not harming anybody by promoting gambling. Everyone is responsible for their own choices and it is up to individuals to limit their risk.
Children are exposed to so many things and their parents are not even aware of it. Many of them do this things because their friends are doing it. I know of a little boy, who started to gamble online because he friends were doing the same, and he wanted to know how it feels gambling. I also think the best option is that, parents should lecture their children about the disadvantages in engaging in such act.
What you say is right and that is really happening around us. Many kids play with their friends. But some of them hide gambling activity from their parents or adult people in their neighborhood so we do not know the truth. Besides gambling, some kids also drink alcohol as we see that they grow mature before their age. It needs concern from the parents, every parent because I see that the parents can not watch and keep an eye on their children's interactions with their friends. The parents can lecture their children, but the parents need to show the example to learn by doing good or bad. 
Lately, it is very difficult to have control over the things that the children are exposed to, so the best option is that the parents are always talking to the children, explaining things in practice and the consequences. at least until today i haven't seen stories of children losing money in gambling, maybe i'm wrong but i think there is still not a large number of children creating accounts in online casinos

Yeah, we can find so many.And also, we can find so many gambling advertisements on many platforms, especially online games where there are many children who are also playing online games (although the games are also suitable for children, the advertisements are sometimes not controllable with the appearance of gambling adv.
And we know that children may not be able to consider the plus and minus effects of that. They are sometimes only attracted to play and win the jackpot that is very desirable and attractive like in the adverstiement.
Well, actually this is part of the control by the parents themselves to always check the children's activities on their phone or even other devices.
Giving attention and understanding about what's good and not good to do at that time, sometimes, we need certain ages to do something wisely.

I just dont want to end up on being overprotective because that would really be not a nice way on handling your kids.Just tell them on whats good and bad
and dont be tired on reminding them about those things and since we do have experience then we do just want to raise them up without experiencing problems.
Although its not an assured thing or perfect parenting but at least you have done on what should be done.

I agree with this, parents should be the first to be able to prevent their children from being exposed to gambling. However, it could be that children know about gambling not from Youtube but they see adults gambling firsthand and finally do what they see.
Parents can activate parental control so that their children only watch content according to their age, not only about gambling but other adult content that is also not suitable for them to watch.
As said, yes, its the parents should have control over their activities since they tend to fall on all they see. I have enabled the control over kids youtube, so that my son just watches only the content I have chosen for him. Its obviously the rymns, stories and drawings where he is really interested. Often games do come as suggestion, he asks so. I would always explain him that that video is not for kids, thats for dad. He then just leaves and moves to his interesting content.
However, one day there is a lot chance for him to fall into it on our obscene. This is our responsibility to explain the way our kids understand and accepts what is explained.
