And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?
I must admit that convincing an older person to play online or virtual gambling is extremely difficult because of technological barriers. Older people are often very lazy to operate on phones or computers, not to mention having to process money transactions on the internet, most of them will be afraid from the beginning. At their period, the internet was not yet developed, everything was direct interaction between people, so that became their habit. Society has changed a lot now, many older people have also worked hard to update technology and use smartphones and computers more than before, but according to my observations, all their operations only stop at simple tasks like watching news, YouTube or playing simple games.
My family also has a lot of older people, they often have the habit of playing cards together instead of playing them through a computer screen, sometimes what they need is interaction and meeting with other players than winning and losing, which virtual gambling cannot have. I once tried to persuade my aunt to play gambling games on her phone, but she said she easily fell asleep after just 15 minutes of playing on her phone. It is difficult for them to concentrate for a long time to play on electronic devices.


Most eldest people are just like them and it is natural because they aren't used to it, They still want the local way of gambling which is using cards and chips. There's still a lot of eldest who is indeed a fast learner when it comes to using technologies especially mobile phones but majority didn't pursue on using it even if it is norm. It's okay if they didn't get it how to use it, at least you offer and teach them how to use and play online gambling somehow.

I was thinking about my past experience with my grandmother when I was still starting in crypto industry and was getting familiar with gambling yet. Since I knew she was a gambling enthusiast (loved slot machines), I tried introducing her to virtual betting, telling it was an accessible and easy method to gamble from home with comfort and easiness.

So I opened a slots website on the laptop and told her to click the touchpad over the roll button, indicated by the arrow on the screen, to start betting. She did it for a while and had some fun when winnings were hit. In the end, I asked her what she thought about the experience and if she would replace the habit of going to physical casino by the virtual one, but she replied that it was too complicated for her to play online, and that she likes the contact with a physical environment where there are physical machines and other people to talk, so she could leave the boredom of staying alone at home to see traffic and flux of people outside the doors.

As you can see, it wasn't only about gambling, but also about interacting with other people inside a real gambling environment, besides the technological experience not being so rewardable when compared to playing at solid, palpable physical machines.

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?

I have never tried to introduce online betting or online gambling to someone who is older than me because I don't want people to know that I am gambling. You know, people tend to judge, especially the older ones, that if you are gambling, then automatically you are addicted to it and you are losing your life. I don't want to hear that, so I don't want to introduce it to some older people. Also, some of my older relatives already know about online betting, like my dad, who plays online tongits just to have fun. 

As you said, elders tend to love interaction more than gambling itself. It is how they socialize; maybe because of their age, they don't want to spend more time on the phone. They tend to spend their lives socializing and living their life.

That's the reason why most of the traditional gambling games, like cards, cockfights, slots, and many more, are played by the older generations.

Even if the elderly are interested in gambling and aren't forced into it, they still wouldn't show much interest in online gambling because in their times, there used to be no online gambling or stuff like that and they used to gamble at physical gambling establishments and they are in habit of them. They wouldn't like the online gambling environment because, to be honest, physical casinos are more fun to be in because of the thrill and everything.

You get to interact with other gamblers, you meet new people, you have conversations, drinks, food, and a bunch of other stuff that makes you wanna stay longer.

We talk about online gambling being more convenient and handy, they barely care about that because it's not fun and entertaining for them.
That is because the elder never get in touch with the online gambling so they don't have interest with online gambling. The elderly usually playing gambling in the offline casino which needs them to go to that place around their house while they are more familiar using offline casino than online casino. It is understandable for us because they lived before online gambling game popular while we lived in the midst of advanced technology so there are a differences between us and the elder. We don't have to introduce online gambling to the elderly because they will not accept the online gambling as easy as us.

For us, online casino gives an easiness to playing gambling but for elderly, they still choose offline casino because they can found something that they can touch and see and feel by their hands. They still want to have that experience while we don't need that although we still interact with many people and doing many activities with them. We only playing gambling at the casino online because we think that gives us easiness to gambling.

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.
Younger generation have a better situation, because they lived in the advanced technology which is different from the elder, When younger generation wants to search for something they want to know, they can use internet easily and found what they want while the young generation can also learn easily from many sources available on the internet. That is why the elderly can't follow the advanced technology because they feel that the era now become faster for their ages and it is hard for them to make themselves familiar using the technology.

We must understand that older generation doesn't have the same situation as the younger generation because when the elder was a young people, the technology was not develop like today. Besides that, The elderly was busy to fills their lives by working in many works while the technology introduced and they aren't aware about that. Some elderly was late to know about the new technology around them because their busy at work and that is why many elderly can't or difficult to digest and understand the things that is new for them. And that makes the elderly feel the new technology just something that they don't understand. While many younger generations can learn many things including playing online gambling, the elderly feel that is too complicated and still prefer to gamble at the offline casino that they familiar before.

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.

I don't really introduce nor promote gambling to other people, except if I know that this person is responsible enough. I know several elder gamblers around me but I am reluctant to introduce them to online gambling cause I have this feeling that once they're introduced to online gambling, it could lead to spending more time and money in gambling. I have these two elder people I know who might enjoy sports betting and online casinos but I didn't share it to them. However, just recently, I found out that they already discovered online betting.

On the other hand, I introduced online sports betting to one of my relatives. I know that he can be responsible with his money and has self-management. So it was never a problem to me sharing it to him. I choose to whom I will share online gambling platforms that I know cause I don't want to be the reason a person becomes addicted to it.

Apart from that, it may be quite difficult for elderly people to get to know online gambling, apart from being technologically illiterate, but their understanding and memory are starting to wane, so it will be quite difficult to introduce gambling to them, not to mention their poor eyesight. has started to run away and with all its shortcomings it is very worrying that later when he joins online gambling and bets in it, he will make mistakes that he does not realize, such as increasing the bet amount accidentally or something else.
The elderly find it difficult to keep up with current technological developments and according to them, current technology is very advanced. Meanwhile, those who feel they have not followed technological developments from the start will not be able or have difficulty using it.

That's why I often tell people including those whom I introduced them that they should learn what I introduced to them very well before risking their money in them. Information is good and it will not make me evil because I shared it. It is now left for them to accept or decline.

yes, you're right, the only differences here are the target audience, when we are dealing with young youths some approaches are better effective than when handling things with the senior citizens, for me, i don't even think i can go to that far inventing or encouraging the older one for gambling when there are younger ones enough to do so on.

Depends on where you live, if you live in the third wold or poor countries, any parents won't want to see one of their family become a gambler because they know they're not rich and still struggle to build wealth. Many family didn't even earn enough, that's make them live from paycheck to paycheck, so how can they have money to gamble in the first place?

If you live in first world or rich countries, you have many options because you earn enough, either you use your money for investment, entertainment, both etc.
In fact, if you live in a country that is not yet developed and gambling is legal in that country, we will definitely see lots of people flocking to gamble so they can multiply their money and changes the lives of those who are poor. We can see lots of people gambling, definitely in the lower middle class and In fact, countries that are not yet developed but legalize gambling actually make that country poorer because if the site is from another country it will only enrich the other country even more.

Talking about countries, I don't think this has anything to do with introducing online gambling sites to parents, even in the worst countries. If parents are already familiar with the world of gambling, then there no harm in introducing online gambling rather than having to travel far to gambling places because online gambling can also be done anywhere. But even so if these parents are our family, it would be good not to overdo it when introducing online gambling because if it is excessive it can cause addiction.

I believe that as an adult if someone introduces something to me, it is my choice to accept it.

Your point is clear here and i understand what you mean as well, however, we should also consider those who cannot make decisions on their own self, they will tend to accept anything that might comes their way either good or bad without giving a safety measures on it before acceptance, this is only about us, what of others who cant manage to be same as we can act, and the considerations here are the adults.

That's why I often tell people including those whom I introduced them that they should learn what I introduced to them very well before risking their money in them. Information is good and it will not make me evil because I shared it. It is now left for them to accept or decline.

This is one of the main reason on why i dont really like o suggesting something on someone which it isnt really just that limited on gambling but also in investments as well on which we could
potentially be having those kinds introductions but im not really that a fan on sharing up something that im dealing with and just been said that i dont like on getting blamed.
It does feel suck when you get blamed for something you didn't do or intended to do. I do see some people getting blamed for introducing Bitcoin even though they clearly said buying it is risky and everyone should take proper measures before trading, yet nobody seems to care. I think this is just human nature where they tend to blame others instead of themselves first. That being said, some people who aggressively encourage people to participate without any risk-reward research do exist, and I believe people like this share the blame if somebody becomes a problem gambler or gets into financial trouble due to terrible investment, etc. The key difference lies in whether they tell you the risk and how often they tell the success story of the activity they're promoting imo.
The blaming nature of people is one of the biggest reasons why I don't recommend things that involve finances to people because I know that there is always a possibility of them blaming you for any loss that they have faced in the venture you have directed them towards while they wouldn't give you credit if they manage to profit from it. It's a bad thing but unfortunately, it's found in a lot of people and it makes them bad people even if they aren't generally bad.

This is why, one should never recommend gambling or cryptocurrencies or anything that might require them to use money unless they ask about them upfront, if they do ask about them themselves, that is when you can go ahead and give them some details but make sure to tell them about the risks involved.
You have a good understanding of the risk involved, some don't, while someone like me will also not care even though I understand the risk. I believe that as an adult if someone introduces something to me, it is my choice to accept it. So far the person did not force me to do it, then I should be able to take the responsibility of accepting it whether it is good or bad when the outcome comes out. This shouldn't be different in gambling and cryptocurrency, but what I will never do is introduce gambling to old people, I would rather introduce gambling to the young generation. Both gambling and cryptocurrencies are fun and are ways to earn income as well, it is not so inappropriate to introduce people to them, but the risk lies solely on the person that will accept it.

That's why I often tell people including those whom I introduced them that they should learn what I introduced to them very well before risking their money in them. Information is good and it will not make me evil because I shared it. It is now left for them to accept or decline.

The elderly people would find it hard to engage on online gambling basically and based on the complexity of most the gambling sites, an aging person rate of comprehending those stuffs would be very difficult unlike youths who had all the time to learn and understand all those casinos stuffs, to me introducing it to them is just a waste of time, I had a close contact with relative who is involved in pools gambling and zI tried to convince him to embrace the online gambling instead of their usual analysis of past pool results so as to forecast and predict their games unfortunately all my effort to convince him  proved abortive because they are used to the old style of doing their stuffs.

That makes sense, although as far as I know now many elderly people still use cell phones to communicate of course they will not do anything else other than to communicate with the cell phone they use. Also, even if young people or teenagers were to introduce gambling to older people, they wouldn't understand quickly and I think they would probably make negative assumptions about gambling.

It is true what you said, I myself will not introduce gambling to them, because even with me doing gambling it is secretly because I think that I win or lose with the gambling that is done, it is enough for me to know that other people don't need to know because there is no positive value if we get a win and tell other people.

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?
I didn't think of introducing online crypto casinos for those of advanced age, the reason is.
* they cannot operate a laptop/android.
* Their age factor is that vision is not normal, such as children aged 20 years, maybe for those aged 40-50 it is still ok, not for those aged 70-80 years.

For the reasons above, we can understand that online gambling should not be used by those who are elderly, their understanding of technology and the internet is minimal, in essence I have never introduced online gambling to those of advanced age.

Not many parents really gamble nowadays because gambling is dominated by young people, I myself have never introduced online gambling to someone who is elderly because it can trigger them to be curious and can cause addiction, parents sometimes don't. think too much about the risks because things seem to be a good challenge for them besides that they don't feel lonely because there are activities that can keep them busy, therefore I would rather not introduce online gambling to elderly people.

It is true that when an elderly person is susceptible to disease, especially high blood pressure and heart attacks. Gambling games can trigger this disease if parents gamble and risk all their money and lose, this is of course very life-threatening because they don't think about the risks they will face so they experience things that can cause disease to themselves.

just like you, i also won't introduce online gambling to old people because there is no benefit at all for us to make them gamble online. especially in gambling, often excessive stress or excitement can increase blood pressure which can have a bad impact on their health and can worsen their health. and the risk that they will be able to gamble every day which will increase their addiction also makes me think that introducing online gambling to older people is quite stupid.

it's better if we introduce them to better activities, for example chess or other games that can sharpen their brains. so it not only helps them to get rid of their boredom, but can also sharpen their brain.

You are very right, the average aging person will always choose that which they have been doing and are already used to, than the new stuffs coming out, and this is possibly due to their skepticism, lack or trust and their reduced risk intake level, as we all know that youth are better at taking risk than the older version of themselves.
Older men will hardly want to try something they are never used to, most especially things that are modern, and most especially also, when the said man is not that well educated and exposed.

This is why it's very easier to convert a young man to become an online gambler after having gambled offline for years, than trying to convince an aging man to leave their offline game to join the online gambling movement, not to talk of the fact that, their offline gambling is also one way they meet, chat and have fun with their fellow age mates.

As for me, I wouldn't engage in doing so, I will rather vested my efforts on the young adults whom I know will be able to afford making gambling with their whole energy and vibes, take risk and take responsibility for every of their performance, as for the adult ones, I will I stead get them a game to use and be playing instead of online gambling, how can they cope with the betting strategies and the financial demands involved, some can't even read the screen on a device because of old age, which makes it not a good idea to me.
It is absolutely right that adults can understand things easily, in the case of elderly people it is delayed in old age they are quite disabled, they will not be able to understand betting strategies easily. Knowing the basic rules will prevent damage and increase your enjoyment of the game. For example, if you introduce older people it will be very difficult for them to know when to hit stand split or double down. Adults can control everything more easily than older people.

I agree you would be doing them more harm than benefit by introducing them to gambling.I would not do it unless in a very specific case like I saw some neighbor of mine do it.He never used to introduce elderly people to gambling except one case of one such person living alone and getting quite a bunch of money every month from his sons living abroad.He used to get bored and since he started passing time with gambling we don't see him sad anymore,he even looks more vivid and enjoying life more now at his age.

Exactly, the idea of recommending someone to get involved in gambling is not advisable, especially if the scenario is that you are introducing gambling to the elderly, no matter what your intentions are, and more often I see that someone recommends gambling to others when they manage to win a large enough win so that they think of bragging about it to others along with recommending the gambling situation that gave them the win, And this applies to fellow gamblers or those who are completely unaware of gambling, logically everyone needs money and when you are the one who gets the recommendation then it becomes possible for you to be tempted and try it without considering first from various aspects especially the negative possibilities, and as you said that in the end it is a fact that gambling is not profitable but instead leads them to a worse situation in life.

Especially if you are recommending to the elderly, for financial problems, it may be possible to have a scenario or case like you said where the elderly live alone but have monthly remittances from their children who work, but I don't think this will be fully beneficial to make them really feel comforted, maybe this only applies in the short term, and I think it is unethical if in the end the elderly spend their old age with a lot of anxiety and pressure as a result of gambling.

I believe it depends on a certain person's financial status.

I would never introduce an online betting casino to someone who is struggling in his life, especially if he has a family to feed, even if he is a gambler. Introducing a new kind of betting online casino only means you are tolerating his bad habit. But, if a certain person is a professional gambler, I don't think it's a bad idea to introduce him in a new kind of betting platform, an online one.

Many people have requested me to account on gambling sites with the promise of gambling, but I have not given everyone an account on the gambling site, but I have definitely given an account to those for whom gambling will not have any bad effect. I've had a lot of elderly people who can't use a smartphone properly ask me to account after hearing that someone else has won some money gambling. I then knew for sure what the result would be so I kept them from accounting by telling them something different. We can easily imagine the future of gambling for people who cannot use smartphones well. But among those who understand a little and those who do not understand and will not take extra risk of money, I have given some users accounts in online gambling sites. So far I haven't heard any bad news from them after signing the account so I feel like I made the right decision.

I have never done that before. And moreover I don't have elder gambling enthusiasts in my house. and I wouldn't even try it. Reason being that an old man or woman has nothing to do with gambling at there age. What I only do is that I usually tell them to give me money to book a bet for them whenever I predict a game. so they will give me what they have. Sometimes I will win while sometimes I loose. So it's not advisable to introduce them because the older they become the higher chances of having a higher blood pressure in a slightest shock, just like a young man will play and loose a huge amount of money and becomes emotional and start panicking, so an elder who loose alot of fund while gambling might be suffering from HBP compeard to a youth.

Gambling games can trigger this disease if parents gamble and risk all their money and lose, this is of course very life-threatening because they don't think about the risks they will face so they experience things that can cause disease to themselves.
Gambling can create a major health risk problem. As an adult, a person will accept his excitement in gambling but when he is older, even if he has the excitement, he will not be physically fit to carry it. A person's sense of self control can deteriorate significantly as the age increasing. I would never recommend gambling to an elderly person unless he is gambling on his own.

 I saw an elderly man with a gambling addiction who sold one of his fixed assets to manage gambling. The gambler must have been over 60 years of age and loved to gamble. He enjoyed sports betting very much. He was so addicted to gambling that he gave priority to gambling over anything else and did not give much time to his wife.

The elderly find it difficult to keep up with current technological developments and according to them, current technology is very advanced. Meanwhile, those who feel they have not followed technological developments from the start will not be able or have difficulty using it. And even though it has been explained many times, they probably won't understand it because they can't use it. Moreover, if we introduce online gambling, they might be even more confused about starting it. Therefore, we should not introduce online gambling to the elderly and let them do the activities they are used to.
The elderly people would find it hard to engage on online gambling basically and based on the complexity of most the gambling sites, an aging person rate of comprehending those stuffs would be very difficult unlike youths who had all the time to learn and understand all those casinos stuffs, to me introducing it to them is just a waste of time, I had a close contact with relative who is involved in pools gambling and zI tried to convince him to embrace the online gambling instead of their usual analysis of past pool results so as to forecast and predict their games unfortunately all my effort to convince him  proved abortive because they are used to the old style of doing their stuffs.
