Where in the world are you people living? I don't have any old man telling me that gambling is good, they all seem to hate gambling, they call gamblers names and some said it's evil, for them it's a way to manipulate you and turn you into a useless being.
Parents in my country are always ready to disown their children if they go near a casino or any gambling locations, they talk about the devil instantly once they see you in a gambling location, they force you to pray that devil will never have his way in your life.
I don't blame them much, as seeing is believing, there are so many destroyed lives now due to gambling, they do have a right reason for thinking about gambling this way, so mate, no older person here will I dare introduce to gambling, it's like tarnishing your own image.

Successfully introduced, no. But introduced and explained well to my elder pops friend, yeah. They liked the idea but you know that there's thing that you just can't removed from them and that's what they're going to do no matter what you tell them how optimistic and happy you are doing your online gambling thing. SO, I've got the wrong audience and people but if it's about the elders, then that's what they will mostly going to say and they are not going to move forward too quick with the technology. It's like now a hobby to them and they don't mind losing sums as they know that's part of gambling.
But if ever I'll encounter another elder that I know and asks me about online gambling, I'd talk to him but I won't encourage them. I just don't want to be part of their addiction that's uncontrollable and I don't want to get blamed. It's hard to get blamed with these matters because you'll never know that they're talking to the other people and they talk about you introducing them to online gambling and then they resulted as a severe gambling addict.

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?
And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?
No never, my contact with elderly people is rather limited and the few times where I meet a lot of elderly people gambling is not really a topic we talk about. Usually on the birthday of my grandmother there are quite a few elderly people that show up and I need to talk to all. If them. But the conversations are very one sided, because old people love to tell their own stories and it's hard to speak about anything else than the past. The only elderly person I knew well that loved to gamble was my grandfather. He was the one that introduced me to gambling and if he still was alive today I would introduce him to online gambling. He loved to play cards, machines, even roulette and for someone that struggles to walk a lot online gambling is a nice compromise.

Never be the guy who introduces gambling to other people. I mean like trading, investment and gambling just do it with your self because some people might get financial problem from losing their asset.
So, rather than make a problem to someone else. Better to keep it on your self.
Exactly, recommending something that has the possibility of risk should really be avoided, as you said and the point is we will never know about how they will treat their gambling activities, no matter how good you are in terms of promoting gambling to them but in the end it is possible for them to gamble impulsively, and of course it is possible for them to end up blaming us as a result of losing or bad effects that they cannot accept.Never be the guy who introduces gambling to other people.

Especially if you are promoting gambling to people who have entered the elderly phase, I would not care for the idea of gambling for fun, most of them have the excuse that they want to promote something so that elderly people can spend their old age having fun in gambling, but the fact is that gambling can be a completely unpleasant activity when you gamble in the wrong way or approach, all of this has the possibility to eventually happen, and obviously one of our better decisions is "don't promote gambling to anyone".
when there's someone who would really be telling this and like that. Easy money? If the old person does have that gambling experience then it wont be an issue but if they are
totally newbie then for sure they would really be that impulsive even if they are already on that old age or something can be called experience.
We are not all knowing being on which there would really always those gaps.
Reading OP's post, I was really surprised to know that people actually recommend gambling to elderly people, especially elderly women. I do not see myself recommending gambling to any one whether old or young. If you are a gambler already, It's fine and you should be able to sort out your self if you need any changes in your gambling lifestyle. Gambling is one activity one must be very careful about recommending to the next person. You might be a responsible gambler but you cannot use yourself to determine if the person you recommended gambling to will play safe. It is better to give professional advice if you see them struggling with a gambling problem than introducing them to a new pattern of gambling.

Since when is some older people starts getting interest in today's technology? How are you introducing gambling to older people when they can't even operate a Gmail account not to talk of login into a casino website? Some stories are not making sense to me on here.
I have older people but none of them care about anything technology today, they don't even want to learn how to operate a smartphone, they believe that the world is in mess today because of all these technologies.
I believe that this place is full of fake stories, how can you introduce gambling to your father? They should be the one you are going to hide your gambling activities from, they will feel unease when they know about your gambling activities, because they mostly know better, they know that you can easily lose your way, older people always stay away from gambling, it's very clear that this is what's happening.

Indeed elder people are scared of technology and everything that is «computer» related. It is true that tasks we consider as easy, for them is like science and complicated to understand. However, the best part of online gambling is that it is easy to learn. You can write casinos webpage yourself, show games, click on desired and let elder gambler do the rest - clicking on bet, wait for result and repeat.

I believe that gambling is one of the activities that one doesn't need to share with everyone and it must mostly be kept private. So I don't tell people, even those in the family, that I gamble because most people wouldn't see it being a good activity and they don't understand that there is a thing called responsible gambling where you don't spend a lot of time and money on your gambling activities but you just gamble for fun sometimes when you got both time and money to spare.
Talking about the experience and comparing online and physical gambling experiences, I agree with your grandmother that gambling online isn't as fun and thrilling as physical gambling is because when you are outside, you get to meet other people, interact with other gamblers, and have a lot of fun, while gambling online you are all alone with just your device and loneliness all around you. Some people might disagree, it's all about mindsets and perspectives.

You just said it exactly the way I had in mind to say it, because in most case scenario, you may be having it as a good intentions by introducing a betting platform to a gambler, but in the other way round, such individual, may not be seeing it the same way as you, hence it will be best if you could just maintain your lane, while letting other people gamble as always. But most times, the level of relationship between you too is another factor to consider, rather than meeting a random person you do not know simply because you just want to introduce a betting platform to them .

Personally haven't but I have seen a lot of people in my neighborhood coming together to play Bingo. Quite a few of them are really old and when I asked a couple of my friends who brought them over, turns out they were the instigators of them coming along lmao.
Can definitely agree with the socializing part though. I'm mostly silent when it comes to gatherings like these but you can definitely see the older people conversing with everyone around them. Used to wonder how people could know their neighbors so much even after a few weeks, turns out they're just that friendly lol.

It was gambling,so the gamblers had the full game knowledge and the game experience.The gambler at the old age without any experience will leads to the loss in the gambling site.So the gamblers should take the responsibility in the gambling site,So the gamblers should share the old people with the experience.Sharing to the gamblers who don’t have experience at the old age will leads to the big loss in the old age.Money was the hardest part for the gamblers at the old ages.The gamblers should take responsibility if they are playing at the old age or the age with the younger time.
It would really be just that right that you shouldnt really be trying out to convince them, is it something that your conscience that could swallow up if ever those old person would be losing
all of his money just because he had become that addicted to gambling? If you do and dont care then you would really be still proceeding but if you do have some care and having those
kind of advanced thinking then for sure you would really be avoiding on telling so.

The gambler mostly share their experience to the new people in the gambling site.But the interesting part in the gambling was the gambler doesn’t have any age as their retirement.They will play the game at the old ages,we don’t know the gamblers with the experience at the youngest age will share to the old people.But the gamblers who was not new to the gambling site at the old age will share their experience to their old age friends.
Because of the old age gambler references,many old age gamblers will continue their game in the gambling site after the long gap in the gambling site.The gamblers who play the gambling at the old age will play the gambling only for the entertainment compared to the money making idea.

And you, have you ever successfully introduced an elder person to virtual gambling?
Actually, not at all, as they have been going early since I was a child. Second of all, given her age, I believe it makes sense that your grandmother would much rather play at a real casino. I believe that older gamblers sought social validation from their friends because they are typically more outgoing and are adjusted to modern technology, so I can understand them. Of course, the sound of the slot machines, the sight of the flashing lights, and the feel of the actual chips can all contribute to her entire experience and make it easier and more enjoyable for her to visit a physical casino.

I once introduced online casinos to an elderly person, but he was confused by the display on the device I showed him, generally elderly people are blind to the technology currently available, I asked him whether you like gambling in online casinos, he answered I don't understand what what had to be done there, I explained briefly but he was still reluctant, he preferred physical gambling
It's difficult to introduce elderly people to online gambling because they are not used to the game, but if they learn slowly they will definitely be able to do it themselves because in my opinion it depends on the person's will, if they don't want to, it means they don't like it, usually that also depends. From the person who teaches and the way it is delivered, I can teach elderly people because to convey to them you have to be calm and patient, there is no need to rush because of course their memory is not like those of us who are young, so when teaching them you have to repeat it so they remember.I think that elderly people should not be introduced to online gambling because they have less good memory problems than young people, so on average it is difficult for elderly people to play online gambling even though there are some who have switched but in fact they are more happy with physical and offline gambling only because they enjoy the interaction of people around them compared to playing gambling which leads to privacy and being alone, it is different when young people gamble which requires privacy and is closed while elderly people are happier with gambling which interacts with people in offline gambling . so don't be surprised about that.

Many elderly people are no longer interested in things related to technology because they feel they are no longer able to keep up and prefer to do activities that are light and do not seem complicated to them. They will even look confused because something is happening with their device and will call someone who can help them.I have older people but none of them care about anything technology today, they don't even want to learn how to operate a smartphone, they believe that the world is in mess today because of all these technologies.

But there could be elderly people who still want to learn much about today's technology and don't want to be left behind like others. They still feel like they are part of this technology, which is rapidly developing, so they are slowly learning it. However, introducing online gambling to elderly people is very risky because we don't know what could happen to them.

Interestingly, elderly people are becoming more tech-savvy. Though paradoxical, hear me out. Online platforms can make hobbies and interests like gambling previously inaccessible. Administering gambling to someone unfamiliar with Gmail may seem ludicrous. Some elderly people are adaptable and interested in new experiences, but this underestimates them. Education and mentoring can change apprehension into appreciation. Choice, not digital agenda, is the goal.I have older people but none of them care about anything technology today, they don't even want to learn how to operate a smartphone, they believe that the world is in mess today because of all these technologies.

Promoting joy Gamble responsibly, not undermine traditional values. Showing the elder generation that it can be controlled and enjoyed within limits might demystify it. Remember to be kind, patient, and informed.

Everyones grandpas and grandpas are different when we talk about technologies. Some have mobile phones with buttons and ask help to use internet banks to check pension and later withdraw it from atm. Others need only few minutes to get familiar with new device, UI and OS. I think, if elders are friendly with modern technologies, then there is no use to introduce them online gambling, as they have faced it already (as ads for example). If elder are not so friendly with the internet and etc, then there is no use to even starting. I havent introduced online gambling to my elder parents, first because I am sure they know that such sites exist. Second, I am sure they will show little interest to it.
