Topic: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? - page 4. (Read 1359 times)

Well, I don't know what it's like to be raised in some other countries, but I think that now things are very similar in terms of childcare. I know that in Europe children are super valuable, just like in the USA, they are actually the future. So I know that when parents do something wrong, like keeping an eye on them, not supervising them, they risk even losing them and handing the children over to the government, so this is something very delicate, I believe that parents should not allow their children to be looking for something else on the internet, if you see that they are in casinos then it is a very serious offense, in fact where I live, that is also punishable by law, because such cases can be very decisive with them, they can cause psychological damage and that It is very delicate.

Actually, I won't allow my child to gamble, that's because I'm afraid of the negative impact it will have on my child's life. Like addiction and wasting money just to gamble, it will ruin his life. But if my child wants to try gambling, maybe I will allow it when he is 21 years old because I think this is the ideal age. And I will help my child to control himself in gambling so that he doesn't become addicted.
I currently cannot stop gambling completely. I still gamble sometimes but not very often, and only with some of my money. This is better than before, I used to be addicted to gambling and it ruined my life.
When I became addicted to gambling I never felt satisfied. I always want to try it and double the profits. I once won a large amount in gambling, and I could buy whatever I wanted. At that time I thought gambling had a good impact on me, but when I tried to gamble again to get more profits, it turned out I was wrong and I slowly experienced losses.

I have no control to my kids when the time comes and able to provide for themselves. They can decide for themselves but I'll still be there to guide them that they should do anything with moderation.

Because if they're not going to do that, the result will be bad and they may not take it provided that they will see the results of those that have became reckless with gambling and wasn't able to control themselves.

Educating them the good and bad thing about it and when they can understand deeper, they'll be the ones to decide whether they should gamble or not.

Yes, we will not knows what our children do if we don't supervise or monitor them. But if we gives attentions to them and besides them while they use internet, we will knows what they do and we can suggests them if they wants to search about something. We will not lets them search for anything that's not at their ages because that can makes them searching for the other materials. The parents jobs will be difficult in this era because parents needs to have skills or knowledge to guide them to use internet.

We must educate them when they used internet but we don't have to teach them about gambling. If we can communicate better to our children, we will see our children will not close to gambling or even playing gambling. They knows that playing gambling can ruin their lives and they will knows that gambling is also prohibit in their religion so they will not playing gambling.

That's why parents must always tells and besides their children because that will helps their children from accessing something that they must not knows. Their children will knows what they can access and what they must avoids so they will not trying to search for something that's not for their ages. Their parents can gives privacy but their children must know how they can used their privacy. They will not trying to playing gambling even if their friends asks them to join with them to playing gambling because they knows that playing gambling can gives many problems. Parents needs to guide their children and not lets them select the wrong way so they don't be like their friends that involve in something that can ruin their lives. Children will also be careful when they are with their friends.

I think the age for a child to start a gamble for a child is 20 years because after 20 he gets up to some maturity and understands the actual nature of gambling. e.e greed, fear,r, etc, and also the norms and regulations.

I don't think so there will be a stage coming where I cut off my hands from gambling. Gambling is a technique that you can not understand all in just one year, In fact you learn and get experience with time so when you get old you will be an expert in gambling.

A stage comes in the life of every gambler where he thinks that he earned more than he lost in gambling now. So don't be fooled if someone tells you that not being into gambling is just a waste of time. and money. So don't panic when you are losing funds believe me you will be rewarded.

Being able to accumulate wealth is important in everyone's financial life for unexpected financial responsibilities that could erupt. Gamblers who are not able to control their wealth will undergo lots of trouble with handling other financial needs, except for gambling. It's quite fine for a gambler to repackage his lifestyle before becoming a gambler. Because of the changes that gambling could cause to his financial lifestyle if he's not careful of his savings. Upbringing is a factor, yes. And negligence affects the growth of children, regarding managing their pocket money.

Hence, due to the high rate of online gambling and the increase in the use of the internet, kids, growing up, should be enrolled to know the importance of controlling the gravity of spending money unwisely. It's not wrong to spend money, what matters is how it was spent, whether it favored societal growth or demeaned it. Managing money is not simple, a child needs to be groomed earlier in this pact of life since he'd never escape it. This could help in the growth of society if future gamblers are not victims of chasing losses and wagering money recklessly.

It is not so easy when it comes to children, there is always something that one can do to avoid the worst things but it is invetibale that some things like for example having clarity on things for them with open internet is not possible, neither can one. It may be restricting a lot, there is a program on Google that is for parental control, but that is giving them privacy in their things and that is what we should supervise, so in view of these things what one should do is have Of course, children must see what they do while they are on the Internet, there is no other way, even if they do not want to show, schedules must be established for them, it is the least way, and obviously staying away from the online casino and games. like deprotive bettors, because they are not really prepared for that.

I completely agree with you, for me the things that have to do with parents and children, after reaching a certain age, parents have to continue fulfilling their role, but at the same time giving their children the confidence that they can trust them as if they were their friends, that is something that very few people do, and it is not so easy, because children associate that parents should not give them orders, but parents have to make them see that their role as children can help a a lot to build a good relationship, it is difficult, but I know several cases that have achieved it even when they grow up and are adults, they talk to their parents as if they were really their friends, I think that type of relationship can be achieved, as long as they start From an early age, you have to create that confidence.

I think there was a question asked in this forum sometimes again that if you win huge in gambling, will you allow your children to gamble? And there were different answers on that topic. Some say yes and others no. Well I don't have a stand on that argument. But because of what you said made me to do some research and also create this thread to know if gambling could be a hobby. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/is-gambling-a-hobby-5492454 you can also read it and see other people comments. I don't like argument on things like this because it too clear that the parents that are already addicted in life allow their children to gamble because as for him it is a source of income. And he has taken it as a hobby.

As long as they are at the legal age and it is their own money I wouldn't stop then, instead I would just remind them to only spend what they could afford to lose, don't be too greedy and learn to control the time and money that they would spend on it.
I don't really know of a certain age since I am taking breaks on gambling everytime that I lose, and sometimes it would take months or years before I gamble again, I couldn't be so sure that I wouldn't go back or try to gamble again after a long time of break.
Not really sure about it, but I did achieve some satisfaction when I bought something for myself from the money I won in gambling back when I was young.
I feel like yes I would missed out something, but not really sure what it is, since most of my teenage years I was already into gambling, betting.

A person's maturity in managing money cannot be seen from their age, although in general people will be able to manage their finances when they are over 18 years of age or older. Children who are unable to control themselves and are unable to manage their finances will end up badly in gambling, because it will have a psychological impact when they experience losses. Maturity will give someone the decision to live their life and if they are able to be responsible with their life and finances then in my opinion there is no problem getting involved in gambling.

It goes back to parental upbringing because now it seems difficult to limit gambling to anyone because people are familiar with technology. So as long as their abilities can be responsible then getting involved in gambling is not too bad. I am not justifying or blaming because maybe people's perceptions are different, but it feels difficult to limit gambling now.

1. Tobe honest Im not gonna allow my kid to play gamble, but if he insists and know the risk I would probably be okay at 21+ because around that age he might have their own salary
2. Today I rarely do gamble so when Im quit I don't know maybe If I got married Im gonna quit
3. No at the moment so I don't achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on me the only feel that I felt is greed fear and fun hahhaha
4. Missed all the fun hahahha but maybe I missed this community

Gambling is not a hobby parents teach their children. Just because the father is gambler doesn’t necessarily mean he would approve of his kids gambling. Parents are usually protective and shield their children from their vices.

While I agree that the legal age for gambling is 18+, I don’t think there is a specific age to quit gambling. I have seen old people play bingo and it relaxes them. They don’t play for the money, just the fun of it. As long as there is no health concerns, a person can gamble till he/she doesn’t see it as fun anymore.

It is not the same for everyone. I don’t have a problem with gambling, I don’t see it as a means to make my fortune so my bets are well calculated within my own budget.

1. Gambling is a matter of choice, I don't have to say anything about gambling to my kid until it happen from their side and I will have to guide them to avoid addiction, Age is just a number but the company that your kid keep is what will expose them to things they don't know, I just have yo make sure that my child is around good friends even at a young age.

2. I don't have an age to quit gambling, its not a company where i have to stop working at a certain age and probably plan my retirement, I will do it only when I feel the time is right.

3. I love the games and that's all, I am a big fan of games and I quickly get along, its either the graphic details or the mechanism of the game, its fun and that's all I need from a game, I use gambling to waste away my free time so its worth saying that I have achieved countless satisfaction while gambling.

4. There is nothing to missed out if I decide not to be a gambler, like I've said before I like games and gambling platforms aren't the only source of getting entertained when gaming.

Also money making wise, I have made more money from other investments than online casinos, if I decide to put an end to gambling today it won't do me a thing.

1. I don't think I'll give a chance to my child or children to ever do so knowing fully well the outcome that gambling at that tender age brings.

2. We'll I would say quitting gambling doesn't literally mean your going to miss the fun it brings but for me I don't think  gambling has any side effects or negative effect rather on myself because I see it as something I derive joy from.but nevertheless I would do so but can't guess the age tho.
 
3. Nah!! I don't think have achieved anything satisfying but  in the other hand it got an impact on me in the sense that I know when and how to tackle my emotions that will be favourable to activating my winning big.

4. Literally gambling has a way of making one Miss so much opportunities but I don't think it has affected me in this area too but rather it has opened my initiative and expanded my horizons on how to grab some opportunities.

You are actually right, internet and civilization has made many children learnt alot from online be it good or bad. When they are addicted to the bad the parent will never know. Apart from gambling other thing that the younger generation are addicted to is also pornography or having an underaged affair. Though it might be out of our topic of discussion here but want to point it out. Most times parents need to educate their children in Versaille direction pointing out the dangers that can affect them when they get addicted to what they do. Just as you have said because advising them on those things will save them from some unforseen circumstances which might have endangered their life's. The only way to save the younger generation from online addition is by regular advising them because you wouldn't be their with them when they are online and be doing their things. Like me I always do gamble online by since my mum and my wife don't know, they think I don't gamble.ost at times they talk more about others not knowing they have one secret gambler at home lolz. But I am happy seeing advisers here since my family can't advise me online, I think I have millions of adviser here.

I don't wish that my children should gamble. But if they want to it should be when they are gainfully employed and can afford to take care of themselves. I don't expect them to gamble with the money they get from me. Also, they should be within the legal gambling age of my country.
I don't think I will quit gambling because my gambling activities will increase when I am retired. Retirement will be boring and I might consider gambling as one of my main activities.
I have enjoyed my gambling activities because it gives me some level of entertainment. Just like one will enjoy watching movies and getting satisfied, that is how I feel after gambling. However, I get higher satisfaction when I win my games.
If I was not a gambler, other endeavours would have interested me. So I wouldn't say I will miss anything if I am not gambling. Maybe I would have been attracted to video games, sports or other activities.

The easy access of the internet within children makes it hard for you to know if they are gambling or not. It is only a child that is very close to his parents that will have the confidence in them and tell them whatever he is doing online, apart from that it becomes impossible for parents to know what their children uses the internet for.

The best thing is to educate them on gambling, and let them know that whoever is not working cannot gamble, and also let them to know that gamble can ruin their lives. I don't hope to see my child gambling someday, but if he does, and I notice it, that is when I will know what to do.

That's because of the presence of the internet that grows fast in many countries. That makes people, including children can used internet easiness and can browsed any websites they wants. They can visits many casinos without a problems so that can makes them becomes liking gambling like adults. This needs supervise from their parents to always monitor what websites they used and will always warn them if they used internet for a wrong thing. If parents doesn't warn or tells them about the danger or the bad side of internet, their children can easily drag into the bad side and will becomes someone that their parents doesn't knows. The children needs to be careful when they interact with their friends because influence from their friends can changes them slowly.

Only adults should be allowed to gamble because at that stage, it is believed that they are matured enough to handle their emotions and make good decisions.  My child should be be matured enough to make decisions for himself as long as he is an adult. There is no point hiding gambling from him or restricting him from gambling because if I do, he will definitely learn from friends, strangers and even the internet. Gambling is one activity one must be careful of so as not to get oneself in trouble. Once my child feels he is old enough to gamble, I will be right there acting as the watchdog monitoring his activities and giving good counsels so he doesn't get himself and the family into any trouble.


Aside from the wins, gambling has been fun and satisfying for me and I believe as I get older, I believe i will appreciate gambling even more.
