The gambler mostly not introduced to the gamblers at the old age,because they can’t understand game at the old age.If the old age gambler play the gambling the game most in the random betting.The analytical skill was very low among the old age gamblers,So I don’t do the share about the gambling to the old age people.The old people who asked themselves about the gambling games to me,I will share their some of the gambling site which personally using for the gamblers.Many old people like to entertain themselves by spend the time with their grandchildren instead of playing the gambling game at the old age.

Cognitive abilities and analytical skills can decline with age that potentially lead to less informed decision-making and increased susceptibility to gambling-related harm. Instead, prioritizing activities that promote social interaction and bonding, such as spending time with grandchildren, can be a healthier and more fulfilling way for older individuals to enjoy their leisure time. If older people express interest in gambling, they need to be provided information about responsible gambling practices and steered towards reputable resources and support services if needed.

Encouraging open discussions about the potential risks associated with gambling, particularly for older adults, can help raise awareness and promote informed decision-making. The well-being and happiness of older individuals should be the primary concern, and activities that foster positive social connections and enriching experiences should be encouraged over activities that carry potential risks, such as gambling.

Before, I never introduced gambling sites to the elderly, but now the situation is the opposite. If you want to do a survey, introduce online gambling to young people, they will choose to gamble in online casinos with the technology currently available, the elderly are already very busy. to learn to open online sites

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

Yes the guy I introduced is already a gambler and have played in physical casinos and he is a responsible player so I have no problem with his attitude on gambling, but I have watched and keep monitoring because playing online is very different from playing in physical casino, you'll have to be good in keyboards when playing online an so far he is doing good but I keep reminding him that to limit his time playing online as an older guy he needs to move around its not good if he stuck in a chair for a long time.

As long as you introduce and explain everything correctly without excluding the possible risks that can also occur when the person you recommend bets on this type of online gambling then I think it doesn't matter, because what is feared is when you explain something that tends to only lead to its advantages such as online casinos can make it easier for all gamblers to gamble anytime and anywhere because with this it is very likely that he puts aside his caution and vigilance about possible risks that cannot be completely avoided which in the end can make them stuck in the addiction zone or experience a lot of big losses. But if you recommend everything well, especially about the chances of winning and the possible risks then I think they are unlikely to suffer a significant amount of losses, especially if you always monitor their gambling activities along with always reminding them to limit their gambling activities, it's a good thing because with the convenience offered by online casinos, the risk is very likely that they plan all their time just to gamble, and this is dangerous.

That is the same way why I wanted to introduce this gambling into people who already involved in gambling already , and my thought is clear and I don't need Him be lured and become addicted because he is an regular gambler all his life.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with introducing online gambling sites to someone who is elderly as long as they are used to gambling and they are still able to spend some money to gamble, but sometimes online gambling sites make you forget yourself and the person could even become addicted because virtual gambling can It can be done anywhere at home, whether they are eating or doing other activities. So even though it makes things easier for them, they also have to be careful because when someone who is used to having fun can't control themselves.

It's different when they have to go to a physical casino, they can still stop and go home and continue the next day, whereas online gamblers can still gamble at home. After all, going to a physical casino is more fun and can interaction with lots of people, whereas when gambling at home you may get less pleasure because you feel lonely. I myself have never suggested anything to elderly people because in my area there are rarely parents who gamble.

They can understand the pattern if they try to learn how the game works but I don't recommend this to them knowing that they are prone of losing or get affected much on their activities so as much as I can I will never mention any gambling activity to elderly since I don't want them to get stress for losing their money since for sure some of them is nor earning much and I want them to use their money on more important things basic necessity that can be used everyday.

If they visit physical casino well that it is but still I will never introduce this kind of activity to them since I don't want to get blame if there's something bad will happen to them that's why I avoid much having a discussion to anyone regarding this online gambling activities since its so hard on our part if someone blame us for that reasons.

We don't want to see them lose control of themselves because they gamble excessively so we wouldn't recommend it to elderly people. It is better for them to do other things that are more useful than playing gambling, especially if there is a surprise from the gambling game in the form of a big win or loss that will shock them, and they are not ready to see it, so it will shock them. This will disrupt heart health because elderly people are vulnerable to heart health. So we should avoid introducing online gambling to elderly people.

If they gamble at a physical casino, they have to meet many people there, which can also make them unable to stand the atmosphere, which is always busy. Maybe they won't be able to concentrate on gambling so they can blame us for taking them to that place. We should not discuss gambling problems with elderly people for any reason and if they open a conversation about online gambling, we can divert it to other things.

I have not and I don't think I would try, to be honest, the elderly here in my country are pretty much accustomed to the social aspect of gambling in person and surrounded with other people, rather than staying in front of a screen for hours and hours. Not even mention that they are more used to handling Money in the form of bills are coins instead of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
Besides of the gambling aspect of using Bitcoin or alternative currencies, there is also a social factor which would make me not to recommend any elder to get involved into Bitcoin or Alts. Because of the economical crisis here in my republic, it has become very common for people to try to find alternative sources of income for them to get by, elderly people are easier for scammers to deceive and make them participate into schemes like Ponzi's or piramids, I would only talk to my parents about this world because they are tech savvy enough and are aware of what scams are and how they usually work.

Anyways, if I started to talk about crypto casinos to some elderly here, they would probably tell me they do not understand anything and they will continue with their classic slots, lotteries and bingo.

I don't dare introduce virtual gambling to an elderly person, especially if he has never been exposed to gambling before. It can make him addicted to gambling, and that is not good for his health and finances. He should be able to enjoy his old days in peace, but if he is familiar with gambling, he can gamble longer, and maybe he will find the joy of playing online gambling and forget about everything. It will be more risky for him because he can spend all the money he has without remembering his limits. After all, he already feels the pleasure he gets from online gambling. But I think older people are no longer interested in today's technology because they think it is too complicated to understand, so they don't want to deal with things related to technology and tend to leave them to the younger people around them.

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

I never introduce anything risky to other people, even if that person is a gambler. I almost never introduce virtual gambling or online gambling to anyone.
reason I say this is quite clear, all gambling is very risky and I don't want to be the person who feels the most guilty if one day someone I introduce to online gambling accidentally becomes addicted.
and another reason why I will never introduce virtual gambling to elderly people is because older people have reduced eyesight, a mind that easily forgets and there is a very high risk if they deposit into the platform but enter the wrong address and end up lost his budget.

well, for me these reasons make a lot of sense because even though my fellow gamblers really don't like introducing something that has a bad impact even though our intentions are good, we also have to look at the impact in the long term.

There's a local gambling platform in my locality that's called lotto and a lot of older people are the one who patronizes it the more as the time of it's establishment can dated back in the 1970/80s. So one of my neighbor who's very experienced in online betting decided to introduce one of the men in my neighborhood who's always engaging in that gambling activity to online betting and to the my greatest surprise, the man who was introduced to online betting became very addicted to online virtual betting that he sold almost every of his belongings in the space of two weeks of being introduced to online betting. It was after that sad and regrettable event that I decided not to introduce anyone to online betting.

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?

Interacting while gambling ahs been a very interesting part of gambling that you sometimes need so that you can exchange idea and improve your gambling skills well enough to make more profit and aswell have some more fun gambling too , sometimes the interactions we get to have at the physical casino is really entertaining.

But then I think recently some online casinos have begin to introduce chat boxes where gamblers could interact while gambling and I've come across a few so it's possible to have almost similar experience to that which you had at the physical casino online, there's this online casino I once visited and we were playing crash game and I saw the chat box and I saw how fellow gamblers were discussing about the crash games and how it did affected them especially some who has exhausted their funds in their wallet already.

This is probably one out of a good number of population because I see older people who don't like gambling either because they have had bad experience in it from the past or they were brought up in a religious home that talks against gambling. So in this case maybe this age person who freely goes into a gambling centre is already a gambler and doesn't need to be taught. He probably talks with people around because he is free and use to what is happening there. An aged person who is a novice in gambling is different and difficult to be thought about gambling. Aged people don't like learning what they feel won't be easy for them or won't benefit them.

Personally, I have never done this, introducing elderly people to playing online gambling. Indeed, there are many cases of elderly gamblers currently turning to online gambling, because it makes it easier for them to gamble anywhere and anytime. I believe that they were taught by young people, who of course agree with them or say they often play land gambling together. Usually elderly people will very easily accept the idea of playing online gambling, especially if they come from an environment where gambling is illegal, of course gambling online can avoid the bad stigma against them because they will no longer be caught. On the other hand, introducing online gambling to other people is actually very wrong, unless they ask for it, because basically them are a land-based gambling addict. Because after all, when they experience serious losses, of course as friends we will feel guilty for our attitude in introducing them to online gambling.

Introducing an elder person into gambling is something Ive never done and may possibly never do due to the fact that I don't have many elderly people around me, not mother, not father, not uncle or brother, and even aunt, I am basically a loner based on where I currently live, and I think I like it.

But even if I had elderly people around me, I possibly will bother introducing them to online gambling, first reason being that, like the story op shared, they just going to tell me that online casino are not as interesting as playing offline, since in offline casinos, one could meet friends and family, and even make new friends through connections and so on.
And second reason is that, most of our elderly people around are not well educated enough got handle the pressure of using the internet, most especially when money is Involved, they are likely fall into the hands of scammers due to their limited level of online knowledge.

So, better for them to stick with offline casinos while we who are young and educated enough stick with playing online.

I can hardly even get my friends to try and understand the advantage of online gambling in combination with using bitcoin, I can't imagine trying to teach my mom or my grandmother how to bet online. Now they are two completely not tech-savvy people but even still. I also feel like a lot of the older folk enjoy gambling for the atmosphere that being in person brings, just as much as the actual gambling itself. So, not sure how many would like to adopt online vs in-person.

In context like this, it is clearly challenge to teach older people to understand online casinos,

I consider anyone older than my age to be older, and I can refer to them as older people. If an older person who already has tried gambling before ask for some tips and lessons from me because they have seen that I am a better gambler, I will be willing to teach them a few things that I know,

Quote from: Hirose UK on February 08, 2024, 09:58:41 AM

I myself would never be able or willing to provide understanding and teach about online gambling to elderly parents.

If it is elderly people, unless i find them struggling with an online gambling application, I will not teach them gambling. Some elderly people have frail hearts, with one very big win, the excitement can fail their hearts.

Not entirely true, it's simply that the approach of older people is completely different from the current generation, they go to traditional casinos as a way to recall gambling memories and find familiarity, a game is good enough and simple enough, why does an older person need to learn things that are more complicated and don't belong to their childhood. Online betting involves too many steps and is suitable for those who know a little about computers, older people should still be encouraged to go to offline casinos, at least there are still many people paying attention and preventing them from taking big gambles

The current generation doesn’t have any peaceful communication with the old age people.Because the mindset of the old people was different from the new generation,the current youth want to enjoy their life.But the old people was like the younger generations should settle in their young age.So the young people can live the peaceful life in the old age.If the young people share about the gambling to the old people,they just remember their old memories in the gambling site.So this will trigger the mindset of the old age people into the gambling.This leads to the old age people start their gambling games because of the memories remembering by young people.

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

I have never introduced any elder person to gambling, and I don't plan to, unless the elder person explicitly approaches me seeking guidance. I firmly believe in refraining from introducing older individuals to gambling due to the significant risks involved. Elderly individuals are more vulnerable to the detrimental effects of gambling compared to younger individuals. Many seniors may already be coping with health issues, and excessive gambling can exacerbate their conditions, potentially leading to premature death. Recognizing these dangers, I am steadfast in my commitment to never intentionally introduce an older person to gambling.

It is essential to prioritize their well-being and protect them from the potential harm and devastation that gambling can bring. Therefore, I am resolute in my stance against initiating elderly individuals into the world of gambling, understanding the profound implications it can have on their lives.
