Long before I knew about gambling, maybe they (seniors) already knew more about what gambling was. It's just that when talking about online gambling, maybe for some of them this sounds a little foreign. because they only gamble offline, either in land-based casinos or doing it with their friends. But now times have changed, and most people now gamble online. But not for the elderly who don't keep up with the times. And I personally have never introduced online gambling to the elderly, because I think they already have better life choices than gambling and have other activities that can still make them feel happy. And even though they are quite experienced in gambling and betting, in my opinion, in old age it is no longer the time for gambling.
Because they lived before us so they have more experience, including gambling, but usually it is traditional because online casinos have only appeared in recent years and are becoming increasingly popular when the world is facing a pandemic where many people have to carry out their activities in home and make the digital world massive developing.
As far as I remember, I have never or could say that I have never introduced gambling, especially online gambling, to older people because it is not an important thing to do, even without us introducing it, it could be that they already know beforehand because there are a lot of advertisements about online casinos, including when we were watching sports matches where one of the sponsors is an online casino so it is very possible that older people understand about it and do it too like young people.
You are right that during the Covid pandemic yesterday, this further increased online gambling activities, so that online gambling has become so popular to this day. And talking about advertising, nowadays online gambling advertising can no longer be stopped, especially on social media, online gambling advertising is like a mushroom that is rampant everywhere. Meanwhile, in this digital era, it is impossible if someone does not know about the virtual world, except for those who are technologically illiterate, such as the elderly.

Many of the elderly are no longer interested in following technological developments because, for them, technological advances are too confusing for them to be able to use them. It may take some getting used to, but it's not easy to follow because many elderly are no longer like they were when they were young. Yes, perhaps the elderly already have a better life choice than gambling because perhaps they realize that gambling carries a risk of losing money that is not small and can get bigger if they cannot control themselves. Maybe they can still take part in gambling games at physical casinos and make them still visit physical casinos and gamble there when they are free. And we should not introduce online gambling to them because not all elderly people can accept online gambling.
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.
