Topic: Have you ever introduced an elder gambler to online betting? - page 8. (Read 1446 times)

This is exactly why I would be in support that older people enjoys gambling more than the youths.
The Grandma was literally chasing after fun and no making profits. At her age, she could not derive fun in gambling when she is alone. At an older age, gambling is enjoyed by interacting with the audiences and not as the youths who demands concentrative attentions before making a satisfying predictions. The company as Co. gamblers whe sees around the physical gambling places are the motivations of finding funs while gambling and that was the interests of the grandma.

I didn't know that most elderly people in a casino have some connections. Most of the elder people I see there are just staying in their machines and not doing anything. Not interacting or something. For sure your grandmother has probably developed a sense of touch with a casino and just gotten used to it that it makes leaving uncomfortable. I believe that's what happened.

I haven't had any success in introducing it to an elder person but probably not going to because if they aren't gamblers by their age at the elder level, they wouldn't probably go to do it. Maybe just for a while but not gonna stick to it. I don't have relatives who are gamblers ^{that I know of}.  

Well, there is a difference between senior gamblers who usually gamble in physical casinos and today's gamblers who are more accustomed to technological developments. as one of the examples you have said, it is not just playing that is their entertainment goal. as well as facilities, interactions and everything including physical gambling. most of them, especially the elderly, are not used to the sophisticated developments of the times. plus, they are also looking for other entertainment. So, it's only natural that there will always be a difference between physical casinos and online casinos. but for us, it is clear that online casinos are more efficient and make everything easier than physical casinos. It's just that, there are other pleasures presented between the two. So, for me both are enjoyable. However, I tend to be active online. So, the ideal choice is an online casino.

To be honest, I have no experience introducing elderly parents to online/virtual gambling. Apart from gambling for me being a personal area, usually as far as I know, elderly people are rarely interested in technology. However, how can they enjoy their old age? Perhaps, online casinos could be a means for elderly gamblers to channel their hobbies without having to travel. at least they can fill their free time, even though it's not like a physical casino. but I say again, gambling for me is a personal domain. So I rarely share it except for people who know me more closely.

Same goes for me on which i  dont really like on introducing things into others on which it doesnt matter if they are young or old, i just dont really like for me to be getting blamed
on the time that those people whom ive been telling something specially about gambling or betting do ends up on wrecking their lives just because of such recommendation.
I dont really have that kind of confidence that they would really be able to succeed out into this field. This is why it would really be that best that you should really know
on what are those things that you would really be needing to set out and whats not. Dont be give out those kind of idea specially to elderly because we know that
once they do become that addicted, then you would really be having that sense of responsibility on what happened and this is something i dont really like.

In this case I am not really pointing out the benefits of online or physical gambling to recommend to someone who is elderly, and honestly I would be more inclined to express my concern for them, after all they are someone who has entered the final phase of their life and with this as you said it is an unethical idea if we advise them to get involved in gambling especially if they basically never knew about gambling at all.

Old age is a time that should be enjoyed with a lot of fun, I understand that gambling can be fun if you gamble in the right way and approach but we have to look from the other side which is that gambling is risky and anyone can never avoid the name of risk, we can see the impact of gambling that will not only make you lose money but can also make you experience a lot of pressure until finally stressed and what that means is I don't want to see them spend their lifetime with the wrong activities that have a lot of potential to eventually make them quite stressed.

i never introduce online gambling to elder people because I feel that it would be unethical if I offered something like this even when I know that they are gamblers. Moreover, like your story, it is quite difficult for older people to accept technology and play at online casinos, such as depositing, withdrawing, or choosing the games they want to play, it seems quite difficult for them, so I am reluctant to make their lives even more difficult and I'd better just leave them like that.

I haven't introduced gambling to any senior citizen of my country, I know how some individual aren't so strong emotionally and they can get emotional when gambling and also the elder individuals can get emotional too quickly therefore I won't want to be the reason why an elder individual loses his life due to gambling. He might gamble with all his life savings and when he loses all the money, I'll be the one to be blamed as I was the one who introduced gambling to him.

If the elder individual wants to gamble due to not having enough fun in their life, they have to try games like bingo and not to gamble by playing sport betting that can give depression and high blood pleasure. If he wasn't having enough interactions with other individuals then I'll look for other activities that can give him that and not to introduce the elder citizen to gambling in traditional casino or online casino.

I have not because none of my elder friends who are into physical casinos approached me to teach them how to play gambling online, and I doubt that they cannot grasp how online casinos work because many older casinos prefer physical casinos because of ambiance, I have seen a lot of elder people in casinos but they are there for the ambiance the love for quality time with peers that accompany them in physical casinos.
Whereas in online casinos they are playing alone and there's a chance that they will become more addicted and it's not good when an elderly becomes addicted.

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.

Yes this often happens, I have done this to older gamblers and most of them refuse, for the first reason they are not used to online casinos even though it is effective and efficient, secondly we know that generation X has a technology stutter, so they prefer offline casinos to online casinos.
The majority of online gamblers are those from the millennial generation to the current generation because their lives coincide with technology and the internet so their online gambling is much closer to them than their parents or generation X births, maybe some people who have been exposed to technology when they are young, such as parents who are in the city are not so familiar with online casinos, but I am also sure they are not so comfortable with online casinos even so.

My neighbors are older adults and generally I have talked to them about Bitcoin and they hardly thought about it, now things have been changing, I don't know if it is because of the economic situation that has made them change, when we talk about the economy we always I tell them the benefits of being in an economy where there is no inflation, but I am a person who always tells them the good things, and it is difficult for them, because they are not good at computers and that is why I don't have time to teach them, but I would teach them, So they are starting to like bitcoin, I have also told them about the casino with bitcoin and well they get scared, they say that the money goes there very quickly, and since they have played in casinos, well I tell them what the conditions are like. rules.

But the thing that seems most unsafe to them is that they have to leave their IDs at the casino, they say that they are not going to do that, and on that side it is difficult and it is not possible, that is what they don't like and I understand them.

Wrong, many gamblers who previously bet and played at physical casinos now prefer online casinos and this is because of all the convenience that online casinos provide to all gamblers.
But if he is an elderly person then obviously I sure that he will never like online games like slots on gambling sites because this is new type of game.
And those elderly people who used to play in physical casinos will not have encountered slot games in their youth or while they were in physical casinos, it just that now many casinos provide slot machine game options with various types of games.
In fact, there are many special places that only provide slot games with various types of modern machines which are quite interesting.

In context like this, it is clearly challenge to teach older people to understand online casinos, they may be less likely to trust online casinos because everything works digitally.
I myself would never be able or willing to provide understanding and teach about online gambling to elderly parents.

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

As a rule, I don't want to introduce gambling to who I think will not a responsible, I based it on my assessment and my interaction with him much more to elderly person, so no I have not yet introduced an elder person to virtual gambling I don't want to get blamed if fever the elder person become addicted to gambling the whole family will blame me if ever the elder person become addicted I want him to enjoy his retirement age by doing what older people are doing like strolling in the park talking to their peers and enjoying retirement years.

If I get him involved in gambling, there's a possibility that he will spend more time gambling than doing what is best in his status as an elder, and we all know gambling is risky for people who have time and money many elder people have time and money coming from their pension.

Never...I introduced online gambling to some friends but not to elder person.
I do not introduce online gambling to random people, I introduce it to those who like to gamble only and I also introduce online gambling to those who ask my opinion.
Most elder in my area do not like to play games which are available in online gambling, most of them like to play traditional card game only which can be played against others (pvp) and it is rare to find it in online casinos.
Even if there are some casinos that provide the games, I dont think elder in my area will be interested to play.

I have never introduced betting to an elderly person, moreover, I don’t quite understand why I should do this. Bringing a player into gambling already bears indirect responsibility, because we are the reason for the emergence of the game in this person’s life, provided that he is very keen.

Even if we imagine that we teach an elderly person how to gamble, what do we expect to get from this? The fact that he will then be captivated is that he will play all day long. Or in some cases, lose everything that you have accumulated throughout your life. I don’t want to seem rude, but the reaction, perseverance and calculations of strategies for the game will definitely be worse than that of a young person. I will just believe that 1 out of 10 older players will benefit from such an acquaintance and will actually use it to bet on their favorite team and get pleasure from it, without much greed.

I have never had the experience of introducing an online based gambling casino, especially those gambling applications that are in trend today. First, I avoid involving the elderly in the family in excessive use of mobile devices because it is difficult if too much usage of mobile devices can affect their health just for the sake of gambling. Second is, they might waste their time gambling even if they are just inside the house and not leaving. Even if we say that they will enjoy it if they try, maybe it would be better if I introduce them to another activity than online gambling, but as I know, I can't stop them, especially since most of the adults here at home are also immersed in social media, It is very impossible for them not to see the online casino advertisements that appear in the feed even if I block them from their accounts. Well, if they want to try and I can't stop them, maybe what I'll do is to guide them so they know the limits of using their mobile devices as well as their spending habits.

When they come to visit, my aunts and uncles sometimes get a chance to watch me play in online casinos. They appreciated watching me but every time I attempted to allow them to play, they could not play longer times. Perhaps they are bored, not like when they are in a club where they can talk and see numerous players.

Anyhow, it truly relies upon the sort of individual. There are individuals who like to be distant from everyone else and do not like noise around them. These gamers will be interested in sitting in quiet places in front of a computer or laptop.

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.

I never introduce virtual gambling to elderly people because most of them will not understand the patterns or how to play and they find it confusing. Even though we may have taught them well and correctly, still, they will say it is difficult. Well, that is understandable. Maybe they prefer physical activities because they visit physical casinos and gamble for real. Moreover, many elderly people do not know internet technology well and will call us if something happens to those using the device. But perhaps some older people love virtual gambling as much as we do and they find it more interesting than visiting a physical casino. These people are usually able to see something new based on a different point of view so they will not easily say I can't. But they will try to understand it first until finally they really understand it.
