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"

Hmm I do agree with your point as there must be a line to draw on which projects to promote.

The problem with most YouTubers is that their influence is so huge that most of their subscribers are underaged children. In addition, if they try to promote a gambling website (which provides them revenue in return), children would be exposed to gambling which gives the latter the curiosity to try them. This is actually a dilemma on both sides in which I have no clue on how to balance them.

It's true that is not good for children exposed to gambling at an early stage. They can't even find the money of their own, its going to be worse if they become addicted.

Unfortunately is a line for setting what is moral and not which is also going to disturb democracy or somewhat like the freedom of speech of someone to which the platforms like youtube had also allowed. It must be youtube that actually has to mandatorily make these streamers add a warning before the video will play. Or youtube could add a template for their gambling videos.

You guys all tried gambling for the first time sooner or later, and I think most of you had your first gambling experience long before you were of age. Every parent should ask their child what they are doing on the Internet and you can always view their activity history in your browser or put a restriction on watching Youtube which will prevent very young children from being exposed to gambling advertisements.

Well, it falls to two parties to be responsible for that, the streaming platform and the parents. The internet is generally free for everyone to access, even kids, so it's up to parents to manage and handle how their kids access the net. Hard, yes, but there's nothing that can be done imo. As for the streaming platforms, well, just like the internet, is generally free, but sometimes they put restrictions depending on the info of what their AI thinks the age of the user is (or the age of the account). It auto filters stuff and the like, though it can still be bypassed quite easily if one really wanted to.

In the end, I won't really blame the influencers and whatnot for wanting to advertise casinos or gambling sites, it's kind of like a job after all.

This is a problem not only with gambling. It's also a problem with porn, for example. The age at which they usually see porn for the first time is around 11-12 years old. And porn today is not like porn 30 years ago. They can watch very violent porn at the click of a button.

The problem is access to the internet from a very early age, which I'm not saying they shouldn't have it, because it's a very useful learning tool as well. But the internet is like the world, it is full of dangers too.

They'll get the money to gamble from their parents, they'll look for a way to cash it in and then so that they can gamble with their parents' money. These influencers should always put a disclaimer that the young viewers that they have shouldn't gamble since they have no money to gamble and teach them to be responsible first before trying anything crazy that they have on their minds like the perfect example of thinking that you can make 10x or more. I've thought of that when I was a teenager that has saw gambling in my neighborhood.

And worst, some will use credit card /details from their parents just to sign up especially if they encounter fiat-based gambling sites. In this case, it is really important to instill with your kids the importance of money and the effect of gambling. Even at early age, they need to know about the possible consequences, so when they finally encounter it via their peers or online search, they already know what to do.

Agreed, it should be the parents' responsibility to inform or educate their children about the risks and dangers of the internet, as we all know that most children are already casually browsing the internet and are curious. I remember seeing on social media (this isn't gambling related, but it's close) a kid using his father's credit card to buy a lot of virtual items, and the kid thought it was fine. There are many temptations online to which the child may succumb, so parents should guide them.

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.

This is the price we have to pay if you are not going to check what your children are doing and surfing online, the web is huge and it open to all portals you should guide and explain to your children the many risks and if possible if you have a good anti-virus that can restrict sites then use it and always check sites your children are surfing through their surf history.

Even so, not all children will think the same because when they try several times but the result is a loss, then I still believe they will leave gambling. But indeed, when they get a win after a few tries then it is very likely they will continue to chase big wins. When children get something new, their parents must find out and not take an indifferent attitude, because children are still under the supervision of their parents, their children's activities should be of more concern to their parents as well.

Yes, it boils down on the parent themselves as they should monitor their children with their online activity. As I parent, I am alarm by it, I have teenagers already, so I closely check the websites they go and if they play online games I limit them. Specially if they have scheduled online schools the next day. So for me the parents should be on top of the situation to even remind their kids not to gamble if they see some ads or banner being promoted in Youtube.

I know its hard maybe but this is where the family steps up on that case.

I know and I've seen many streamers and content creators around social media platforms that are promoting a gambling site particularly online sites. Now that we are in an era where technology and internet is a necessity already, its on the parent whether they will do something to not let their kids to gamble. Don't give them too much money maybe can help or know what you're kids are doing on a day to day basis.

The internet is dangerous and open for all. If you are a parent, you can limit the exposure of your kid using a google account logged to his youtube account. I did this to my kid's phone. There are still some videos that are for the adult that streams on her. Can't do anything about it but just monitor what she does and talk to her about it.
You just have to make your kid open to you that they share things with you so that you can advise them.

Children don't have money to gamble. They can watch videos, lives and even sign up at a casino platform, but it will be useless without money anyway. Parents just need to be careful with their credit cards and crypto currency wallets, because there are some cases of children who used parents' credit cards to purchase in game items without permission. So I don't doubt a son of a crypto gambler could do the same thing using the coins of his father in order to gamble.

Well I have the same with this thought, --children don't have money to gamble but they can watch it, at that young age, they even don't know how to pay online, but parents should always take care of their bank account and avoid not linked to their child device. Just like what happened here in my country, there is a couple who had lost thousands of money in our local currency because of their sons purchasing online games, they did not know that it was linked to their bank account and it was automatically deducted once it was successfully purchased from google. The same on gambling, we should keep our bank account safe since they don't have money, they can not able gamble even though they can watch the video, --but still they need parental advice and as long as possible parents should monitor what they watch.

Yes, situations like this are happening often because children have access to mobile devices and computers with internet access since a very early age. Furthermore parents let their children alone with these devices for long hours daily playing games which display premium offers all the time during the gameplay. It's just a matter of time until these children click the offer and finish the purchase.
The same happened in my country: a kid of about 8 years ago managed to take his mother's credit card and spent some bucks in an online game. The amount was about 40$ only, but still a considerable amount for a poor family. After being caught, they made a video where he apologized while crying and said he would work to pay his mother back. This is just one example that became really popular on social medias, but there are many other cases.

That will be the worse situation might happen if we will let our children engage on gambling site but there are ways to make them away or discover gambling by blocking it access to your computer I found this tutorial and hope it helps https://smallbusiness.chron.com/block-gambling-websites-56613.html I will try this steps on my other computer in future and hope it will work since it will save our children to get addicted on online gambling.

There is nothing like the web for the young and information is accessible to everyone not minding the age. This gambling sites/apps are actually promoting their business so you wouldn't hold them responsible for children's abuse of the web rather you should channel the responsibility on the parents who is supposed to guide their children on what to do with the web as well as educate them on sensitive areas of life in which gambling is one of such.

Gambling content is included in the adult category. if there is still an underage who sees content like that, it means that he himself is the one to find out. and nothing can limit someone from finding out what he wants to know on the internet. unless there is gambling content that all ages can see and promoted everywhere. this happens on several platforms such as facebook and tiktok a lot of gambling content that just becomes a recommendation that makes other people interested in trying it. can't blame the streamer or viewer. but only blame the platform that cannot limit these thing optimally.

With its easy access to the internet, not only positive things are obtained, but negative things finally happen. Which is now the promotion of gambling
content, there are various social media, which finally can be seen by children. Some children must be curious about what they have seen and of course
want to try it. Here I think it is wiser not to blame anyone for this, and my solution is more to parents who have to limit their children from accessing
the internet. So don't let our children access the internet for too long, then parents are more careful to keep their money so that their children don't take
them to play gambling. Don't forget to regularly check the internet history that their children have seen, the last thing parents have to do is educate
their children about gambling. Explain to their children that they are not allowed to play gambling before they grow up, because it is not good for children.
The key is how parents supervise children's activities.

Children shouldn't be exposed to Gambling, its a good start for a kid to start stealing, making decisions he shouldn't have,as well taking unnecessary risks as well.
Imagine a kid saying what if i win a million? And eventually starts breaking rules just to gamble, im totally not in with these idea

With the technology that we have right now, Children can expose to anything as long as he holds his own gadget and you don’t normally monitor their activities for sure their curiosity will bring them into bad places. That streamer should aware of this, he should now just share a content that can harm anyone, if report system works in Youtube, better to report them.
