Topic: Gambling Exposed to children - page 7. (Read 3933 times)

Be wondering why children are gradually venturing into gambling??  Imagine when there basic needs are not provided, Families not doing good at the point in time.... seeing news of others gambling and winning, they'll probably slide in trying to take the risk at tender Age, wanting more at this stage, which has led to failure of 85% indulging in gambling at this Age.

Most parents even tend to get into the private life of their children just to make sure that they do not engage in activities that will not benefit them,but most children will not listen,or better still,will hide and gamble,and do some other activities that are not encouraging. Gambling has become the order of the day.Even children engage in gambling.

But there are always cases where children managed to stay away from the eyes of their parents or parents aren't doing much research on what their child is doing it's not only gambling a child can get addicted to but there is other stuff such as heroin addiction and later on, forces them to commit crime because their norm earnings can't sustain the consumption of their drugs.

It's going to be harder if you're the type of parent that's not close to your children and you're just providing things for them. It's important to take care of your children and know the things that they learn every day as much as possible. I've seen some of the parents struggle on this part because most of them are busy with their work and businesses. But since most people are working from home, they're going to have more time and teach their children to not engage with gambling and it's too early for them or just tell them that they shouldn't be which is better.

Depends on the parent because there are some which could really just simply accept that but there are things which we cant really able to check or observe on even we are really that keen on checking our child
about their activities in school or even just simple on hanging out with their friends.You wouldnt know on what are the possible things that they've been doing on that time since we cant really fully check on them 24/7
which means you would really be needing them to at least made them realize on what are the harmful effects of gambling if they would really be tolerating such act or activity.

I would doubt that.
From what i've seen in my school days that children were gambling with their pocket money on the school football teams and chess matches and they were around 14-16 yr of age.

I really agree that this should be the case, after all they are promoting a topic which is considered to be only for adults and yet they are promoting gambling shamelessly to the kids and this is simply not correct, after all when it comes to gambling you need to know very well that you are getting into an activity in which the odds are against you and despite all of this many of us still decide to gamble because we want to obtain some fun, but a kid is not going to be able to tell apart those two things and they could think that they can make a career out of it when that is not true.

You are right, but the child is so impressive that not only does he program in several programming languages and play games, he also handles all the documentation of his parents, since they are older adults, and he is the one who makes all the requests digitally, he is That is, the parents ask him for the favor that they can go into their banks to see if they deposited his pension, and he makes the payments of all the goods and services, which means that perhaps his registration would do it with his father's documents or his mom. And with the income he obtains, he is the one who maintains and puts money to buy the market and all the necessities, his parents do not know how he does to extract money from the computer, they only know that what the child does is not a bad thing, And because of the situation in Venezuela with pensions for the elderly it is impossible to live, their expensive medicines come from what the child does. The parents are not that old, but the father is 65 years old, and his mother 59, and they do not want to update, that is, to go in and learn to use technological tools, surf the Internet, among other things. What the father does is supervise to see what the child is involved in, he checks that he does not get into prohibited pages, but the child is not stupid, he knows that there are advertisements and many programs that carry viruses among other things, what he does The child is playing and as in a pandemic they cannot go to parks or go to play on a court due to the pandemic and insecurity, what the child does is play and watch TV.

The fact that I program in C, visual Basic, so small I see him as a genius child, who unfortunately for the country does not have many opportunities to exploit all those abilities and natural talents that he possesses.

That's still illegal, as per their ToS. Anyone who is below 18 years old are not allowed to play the game, his axie team could be banned if someone will report it, so the better play on it is let his parent plays it. It is easy to play and anyone could understand it pretty quickly after watching some YouTube videos on how to play efficiently.

If he is a 18 year old kid, I would say that what he did was pretty impressive because not all of the kids thinks practically, the are more of a happy go lucky all the time.

Hopefully that will happened as per my experienced, I know someone who grows around people who are into gambling,

As a kid he's been watching he's family playing cards, now, he's one of those known personalities in terms of gambling, always finding ways to keep on playing and to have that good chance to win. Gambling is always in him as days won't pass that he won't gamble, but most of the time he enjoyed winning and by reading his gestures he's using this venue to feed his family.

Yes, that is absolutely right. The parent's job for their children is difficult because they need to supervise and look after their children until they are adults. And that jobs will not ends until the parents leave their children forever. In this era, the parent's job will be very difficult as they need to feed their children, search for money, take care of their children from anything that can disturb their life.

Suppose gambling is exposed in their children coincidentally. In that case, the parents need to explain everything, including what will happen to someone if he plays gambling too long and the risk of gambling so their children can think about the risk of playing gambling.

it is their parents and teachers that must hinder them from doing such mate and it is not the internet and vloggers problem .


it is on the children bringing if they will have this view in life because this will comes from what he learned when he was growing.
if the child know how to value money in right manner then he also knew that gambling is not part of profiteering.

you are just overthinking mate , just focus on your kids if you already have one , if not then focus on your family plans in future.

lucky if the children can change and are not addicted to gambling, what if the opposite! It is important for parents to take care of the surrounding environment, be it the child's home or school so that he can avoid the bad influences that he might get. gambling, drunkenness and dating are things that children should not do.

Environment influences kids so if they see grown up doing it, they will also be doing it. I for example grew up where my parents are not around but with my brothers inviting a crowd under our basement and play cards and billiards. Its not surprising that even my sister knows how to deal cards like a pro.

So if gambling is exposed to children, its got an effect on them but the good part is that they learn and may not be addicted to it when they grew old. Because the interest of the kids changes over time.

Today's 15-year-olds are very smart, they know that in a casino the chances of winning are very low, they seek more fun than the same money, because most of them have no obligations, I know a neighbor who is 14 years old. And what he did was play warm and then from there he went to Axie Infinity, all the time every day I think he gets the 150SLP, every day, he also plays others like cryptoblade, plants, something like that and from all those games he always accumulates a lot of money And the most important thing is that he says that he does it because he likes it, that he knows he has money but he does it for fun, it should be noted that this child spends all day on a PC playing.

When you are too strict then majority of those kids would really be having that rebellious kind of behavior on where they would really be finding out ways on certain  things that do poke out their interest.

This is why its important for parenting that you should bit loose and make your children wont really be stressed out and make some ample restriction but not too much which you would be giving out

some awareness on things in life specially with gambling.Internet is within reach or with a simple flick of fingers since kids are exposed to gadgets nowadays so its really unavoidable.

I know from my own experience that if a child is forbidden something, he will strive for it when his parents are not around. In my opinion it is better to give your child a tablet with a game of chance because in comparison with other games or cartoons it will seem very boring. This first impression of gambling will be negative and will be permanently imprinted in his memory. This is about the same when a child is confronted with an angry dog. Such experiences cause some people to stay away from dogs for the rest of their lives.

We also promoting the casinos it doesn't mean we are committing crime, only who are violating the terms should be considered as the sinner because gambling is regulated that is why all these casinos are working. Parents can actually monitor what their kids are doing but most of them are lack of such knowledge which gives the freedom to the kids to exploit the technologies.

Children should, of course, never be exposed to gambling. As far as I can remember, all sites have a policy that you must be 18 years or older, but you can't prevent children using passports of family members to gamble with them. That is impossible to stop, let alone with bitcoins.

It depends on how we're able to explain it to our kids. Since we've experienced it already, we know the risks and consequences of it which we won't allow to happen to our kids. As for me, early correction and clear explanation would be effective because that's our responsibility as parents. We should teach our kids to stay away from things that could harm them in the future. I don't think letting them commit mistakes first before they learn would be a good idea as parents. We should also do our part.
