Call your grandparents and tell them you love them
Don't fall for lesser sector because gambling generates huge profits. Elderly people have very few knowledge in the system, don't jeopardize their golden opportunities of winning due to the heavy presence of beginner's luck.
Beginners luck is not heavy, but chance of getting addicted in large. Indeed with elderly people having increased free time after retirement, eventually may fall prey of the addictive casino games. Of course they might be knowledgeable but lack of control would mean easily getting addicted or getting scammed by someone on such sites because casino chat boxes are full of scammers as well.

The best way to prevent such loss of money is to observe their online habits and keep them active offline.

gambling is not something they introduce someone or teach someone to do because it is something that involved a risk neither you stay on your own without introducing the person or the person forcefully notice what is gambling and they ask you for assistance especially Direction you can have the person and the Direct the person based on he or her question towards gambling but a process nearby gambling is not what is in the person's mind and you are the one that introduce the person into gambling and they advise the person to stake his money when the person loses the person will blame you totally so when the person mean the person will also come to you and the person my brought him or her as a recommendation.
Don't fall for lesser sector because gambling generates huge profits. Elderly people have very few knowledge in the system, don't jeopardize their golden opportunities of winning due to the heavy presence of beginner's luck. It's always important to lecture, more like giving out the necessary hints in the system, provided there are key basis of implementing strategies, most of these newbies in the system because they're desperate of making their crucial incomes ontime. They forget everything is step by step, we should always bring on the good job.
For old people then there's no other responsibilities that they would really be minding and this is why they would really be that confident on dealing up with something since they do know that they dont have any responsibilities at all specially on taking their children to school considering that they have let them finished studies already and other common family responsibilities. Now that they are on the situation where
they do get retired then it would be normal that their mind will be thinking about on having fun or having that non stressful life. Making up some recommendations about playing gambling is never been that something
ideal on which something that i wouldnt really be doing into those elderly. If they do discover gambling on their own then so be it but it wont really be that a bad idea on making
yourself that making some advise to them about gambling moderation and control on which we know that everyone do really fails on this one.

My grandmother used to play bingo with her friends and neighbor before, so I tried to introduced her to online bingo. Although she enjoyed it, and it was convenient, she still preferred to play the game physically with interaction with her friends. It's important to respect their preferences and not push them into something they're not comfortable with.
Pretty aware of this games on which this is really that common on Philippines with this kind of game on which you could really be able to enjoy with your friends even though it involves money or betting but at least
it is really just that something small and not something that could break their banks. Old people wouldnt be having nothing to do something and to kill up that boredom then its not bad to engage with these things
as long it would really be in moderation then it should be fine. We do know that gambling could still affect elderly or old people.

So far i havent been able to introduce someone to do gambling specially old people. Even into my grandpa's or ma's. I dont like for them to get involved with gambling and besides
there are other far more physical activities that they are really that enjoying into on which i could say that this is much more better rather than on making
themselves getting involved into something which is highly addictive.
I love gambling but I believe it would not be an ideal thing for seniors. So I have no reason to introduce to them to virtual gambling. Aside that I don’t want them to get addicted with gambling, online or offline casinos, it’s just that at their age, their health condition might only be worsen if they experience so much joy and so much madness everytime they win and lose from gambling.

Good thing I was the only gambler in the family. And even if I’m making a decent amount of income from gambling, that won’t be enough reason to convince my family members most particularly my grandparents to get started with virtual gambling.

You're right, sometimes people go to the casino or sports betting just because they have to go, whether because of advertising or something they see, sometimes it's more important if you, as someone's friend, can tell or intuit that they go to the casino. casino and this could be something that influences quite a bit, I had a friend, when I was in university, well he didn't know anything about computers or the internet, he one day told me to help him with that and I started to explain to him and he got a At the time where he was and he had such a high level that he was looking for anything on the internet and he ran away very knowledgeable. In fact, I told him that there were online casinos, but he said that he wasn't interested in that.

So what he did was take me to a bingo, which was actually a casino, and that was one of the first times I found the casino, obviously at that time I didn't have any money, just my scholarship at the university and well It wasn't much, at that time it was when I discovered a casino for the first time, I had already seen it on the internet, but I had never seen it in person.

How can you "control" someone to prevent him/her from getting addicted to gambling? I mean, many people try that, but in reality they fail mostly when someone is inclined to be addicted. Before someone starts gambling it must be explained to him/her that gambling will not make them rich. Gambling is for entertainment only, and people must know it before depositing their money on a gambling site.
Gambling addiction has really proven to be a global disaster, both rich and poor can't escape the effect of Gambling addiction, it also has the ability to not only affect the victim alone but also those around them, family, friends, colleagues and what have you.
Indeed proper education and awareness about the reality of Gambling could play a very vital role towards preventing or eradicating addiction.
Many people often approach gambling with the knowledge that it's a quick and easy way to multiply their fortune, just one big win would change my life kinda mindset, when in reality, the odds are stacked up against them and this is just how addiction begins.
But if people are aware that gambling should only be for fun, a way to temporarily get aware from your problem and not a way to solve your problem, If this mindset is instilled in them before they start, then they're less likely to fall into the trap of addiction.

That means that someone who comes and gets involved in gambling by having a good level of awareness in him has a great chance for him not to end up as a gambler who misinterprets what gambling actually is, because usually from various cases of addiction that have occurred they come and get involved in gambling that is because they are too tempted by the name of winning opportunities, or that means they come because they hope to get money or multiply the money they bring without looking at various sides before they decide to get involved, namely looking at the risks,

Basically, the object of victory in gambling is money which everyone needs and wants money and this is clearly the reason why most gamblers are too serious in terms of responding to the opportunity to win which they think it is a quick solution to overcome financial problems in their lives, when in fact it is the opposite where gambling with the aim of earning will actually trigger more new problems, especially in terms of finance, so the point is that the opportunity to win in gambling has made most gamblers forget about the possible risks in gambling which in the end it is clear that they have experienced many adverse effects in their lives due to financial ruin because of treating gambling in the wrong way, intention and purpose.

Since you haven't introduce anyone to gambling, I'll advice you to keep it that way or there'll be someone blaming you when their bets aren't going in their favour. I hate introducing an individual to something that can take their money as they'll always blame me when they're not winning. Gambling is an activity that you'll lose at some point therefore when someone isn't mentally ready to accept the decision that they're taking, don't tell them about gambling or you'll regret it.

Old folks will always blame you when they lose their money from gambling therefore it'll not be wise to introduce them to gambling. They're old and should be doing things that are less addictive so that they don't misuse the opportunity. Old folks can always get addicted very easily as they don't have anything to do all day but just to sit and discuss with their friends and other old folks in the elderly homes.

Introducing someone to gambling can indeed lead to feelings of responsibility if things don't go well for them. We dont know his ability to handle the potential negative consequences that can have on their finances and mental well-being. Some people may not be mentally prepared to handle the ups and downs of gambling. They  that could indeed blame the person who introduced them if things don't go as planned.

Older people would have a heightened concern due to factors such as vulnerability to addiction and financial stability. It's better to prioritize activities that are less risky and more fulfilling for them, especially considering their stage in life. Encouraging healthier and less addictive activities for older adults is definitely a thoughtful approach. Gambling suits only people who have sensitivity and awareness of the potential consequences, especially the people who may not be more susceptible to its negative effects.

But what does he think when he takes away something that an older adult really likes? They become depressed, they begin to feel very bad, because they become like children again, that's what happens with them, they are very delicate, they become little again, so they must treat themselves and let them do what they like, If they like the casino, no matter what, they have the right to have a good time in what they like, but as long as things are controlled, then given this, many things have to be done, first of all, control them so that it is not going to be addict, because that is bad, however I don't think so, they are people who sometimes control themselves very well and they don't like their money going away just like that, because they like to have fun, I think that's what it must be done.

Yes, basically you are referring to the financial education of the people, this also has a lot to do with the style of education that the person has taken, and the great mentality about the deposits, if we can see a person who has a high financial education , they don't start having a lot of money in a casino, they don't make large deposits or anything like that, for this reason we are people who should always read, we should always base ourselves on the fact that our money should be protected and very carefully taken care of, If we decide to go to a casino, we know that most likely the money we allocate for the casino will be lost, I am aware that when people go to the casino it is because they want to increase, multiply their money, but that is something that is not so easy , things happen because basically the person who enters a casino already knows how much money they are willing to spend, and generally it is money that will not affect their expenses or anything in their daily life, something where it will not be affected .

You can offer them some fancy "crypto dice" option with cooler odds,

And what are those "cooler odds", I'm wondering? Is it 0.5% or something? Are they much cooler? I've never seen the odds better than 0.5% HE on dice, and I can tell you that between 0.5% and 1% house edges there's no big difference. Regarding your chance of winning it's almost the same thing.

but let's be real, sometimes people just wanna believe in their lucky stars, even when the stars are rigged. ‍~

Stars can't be rigged, my friend. They are stars. If there is some precise order in this universe, it's in the stars.
LMAO, don't mind the guy, he is trying to finetune the whole thing, as if stars can be rigged, there are no human thats capable of doing such a thing, it's impossible.

You can mess with Motherland and she won't fight back instantly, but don't mess with the sky, like humans normally do with the lands.

Gambling is a wrong thing to play your lucky stars with, you will lose your money and probably end up counting the stars in the sky, its better to learn how to be a responsible gambler rather than having some expectations.

Those who win when gambling mostly don't see it coming, because they have other reasons why they are gambling, they understood the risk.

Most elderly people prefer to do their gambling activities in physical casinos. Just like what I have experienced in the past. My auntie has been a gambler since she was 20's, when she grew older, she had a hard time going to the casino on her own since the end of the pandemic up to date. The reason is that she is too old to drive back and forth to the casino unless she can be with someone to bring her to the casino.

Because of this, I decided to introduce her to an online casino that has the game of her choice. However, to my surprise, she didn't like it and she still preferred to go to the casino and wait for someone that she be with to play in a physical casino.

The reason is the same as you, my auntie still chooses to experience the feeling inside a casino. She also said that she's too old to hold a gadget and play online casinos, she feels that it is not an activity fit for her age.

Have never introduce anyone online gambling especially the older own because within my environment older people sees someone who is gambling as an irresponsible person, so as a gambler you would try your best to avoid having in contact with those sets of people to enable your head be at peace anything you come across them. Then for your granny, what she needs wasn't the game rather she loves moving out to mixed with different people and have discussion with that she is okay and she can also utilized the slot machine even though she lost it wouldn't hurt her that much rather the discussion over there made her have this homeness going out playing with physical casino. I think online casino are mainly for those who doesn't like interacting with much people around or I can say they are introvert and don't like mingling with much people around.

Even with fancy bells and whistles, the house still has an edge. And sure, 1% might sound better than 45%, but it's still a gamble, not a guaranteed money machine.

The point is, you can't force someone to see the light, especially when they're blinded by shiny dreams of instant riches. Sometimes the best you can do is offer support, maybe point them towards some responsible gambling resources, and hope they'll listen someday. Not everyone's ready for a math lesson, even if it means saving them from losing their shirt.

There is no doubt that the younger generation is better able to use technology than the younger generation. They are better able to understand current technology well and develop it into something useful for them. They can find more information than the older generation, especially since they are already used to using this technology, including using online casinos, which for the elderly is very difficult to use.

Elderly people have admitted that they have difficulty keeping up with technological developments. Even though there are people or younger generations who always help him, that doesn't mean elderly people are able to understand him. After all, elderly people are more comfortable using something they can actually feel and see than using something they cannot feel. So we don't need to introduce online casinos to them because of the difficulties they feel.

One of the reasons is because obviously the younger generation was born in an era full of progress and change and one of them may be in terms of technology which is a familiar thing that now everything looks easier in any case, for example in terms of learning or looking for knowledge because you can get it just by opening a cellphone connected to the internet and looking for it on some social media or reference sources such as Google or other platforms.

On the other hand I understand that the older generation was born earlier than the younger generation but the right reason is because the older generation was born earlier before the development of technology was as good as it is now so that when modern technology appeared they were already at a fairly senile age and as we know that someone who is already at the age of 60 - 70 years and over is very difficult to learn because on the other hand they also have problems with their memory which makes it difficult for them to digest and understand something they have learned before, And this is the reason why the older generation is very difficult to keep up with technological developments that are developing very quickly, one of which is like an online gambling platform which is mostly filled with many younger generations, this is too complicated to learn for them and therefore more of them choose to gamble in physical casinos because it is easy to adapt and can find many people to enliven the atmosphere.
Maybe the elder generation is selecting, not lagging. Ever considered that? They witnessed revolutions most of us read about in history books as they navigated life's turbulent waters from analog to digital. Their tech use? It's discernment, not resistance

They may not be on social media or betting online, but that's a sign of knowledge. They prioritize depth above distraction. Learning is lifelong; age is just a number. The actual obstacle is mindset, not age. We should ask them how to manage this ever-changing environment without losing our essence. We're gazing in the wrong direction; they're not behind
