Therefore, it is a very good advise for parents not to allow there children go astray because there are different social vices that can also lead children into gambling like they may be in need of money and if they have older friends who already gamble for money, they can be lured into gambling with hope to source for money.

Parents must actively educate their children before their children leave the house for outside activities. Parental education focuses on being aware of being away from the gambling environment and don't expect education from schools, because schools do not necessarily have the materials to prevent children from being influenced by gambling. We must check the history of the child's cellphone and the applications that have been installed on their smartphone. We must detect problems early so that the child can be treated to prevent gambling problems.

I completely agree with you bud, activities like gambling are not something that are taught in school, so it is our duty as parents to look after our children, make sure they are always ok, and also monitor all their activities, keep watch of the kind of people or friends they are going out with, for i personally believe that children don't just wake up one morning and want to engage themselves in gambling, whenever a child decides to go into gambling, there is probably somebody, (a friend maybe, who is already a gambler) that is telling that child about gambling and encouraging him or her to try it.

So yeah, it's important to never let them out of our sight, and what i mean by this is, just the same as you have said, we must monitor their every move, periodically check their phone to know what they are doing behind closed doors.

what the australian government has done is correct by abolishing gambling advertising to prevent minors from gambling before they grow up. abolishing gambling ads may reduce the promotion of gambling and it will reduce the number of minors to find out about gambling platforms and play on those platforms.

but abolishing gambling advertising without the role of parents will be in vain because nowadays children are very free to access devices and their environment can also have a bad impact on them. as parents, they must be able to provide good lessons to their children and continue to monitor what they access and what their playing environment is like. with actions like this it is hoped that the number of minors gambling will be reduced.

Abolishing of whatever gambling ads is not the problem and like you said there is the responsibility of the parents to guide there children properly and show them the right way to grow up until they are of the age to know and understand certain things. There is a difference when you understand what you are doing and when you are just pressured into something. Therefore, it is a very good advise for parents not to allow there children go astray because there are different social vices that can also lead children into gambling like they may be in need of money and if they have older friends who already gamble for money, they can be lured into gambling with hope to source for money.

Then, as a child, we weren't exposed to gambling. I could only remember of lotto, as a kid. But we still said things like "let's bet it"

You said as a child let's bet. It couldn't have come from space or nothingness. As a child you definitely must have heard that phrase once or twice from people around you. The environment that you live in influences the kind of statements that you would alter out of your mouth as a child. A child who grows up in an environment where gambling is prohibited would never have this such phrase in his or her vocabulary. So I strongly disagree with you that kids do not learn gambling from anywhere.

That's actually true, sometimes we say it out of nowhere when it's in a case of proving something by just saying "let's bet" but it's more like believe me, something like that. Cause I think once money is involved, they would just agree on the things you say, but your intention is really into proving something not into betting. I always hear this phrase with my friend when we are having an argument to an specific thing like for subjects that are complicated, if I disagree with them they would just said the word, once I agree it's like nothing. From the word itself bet and gamble, if you heard it from the kid's mouth, most likely they are influenced or adapted it from their environment. Gamble is already a thing that exist to help our country by providing taxes such as casino, so it would be impossible for people to not learn or heard gambling especially to the kids, sooner or later they would be curious and learn it too.

Gambling is a dangerous behavior not inherited from parents but learned through imitation. Children often observe and replicate the activities of those around them. Although prohibiting gambling advertisements is a positive step in reducing underage gambling, it is just one step toward the ultimate goal. Adding additional measures, such as limiting underage children in gambling areas and neighborhoods, is necessary to protect children from gambling.

This is true. No matter what we do to control gambling, there’s always a point in our life which we will develop the curiosity to explore unknown territory such as alcohol, cigarettes, drug, gambling and other things that is unusual to human nature.

I agree on what you said because just like you, I just heard gambling on one of the adult in our neighborhood and I suddenly develop interest on it when I grow up until I’m capable to do it my self.

Kids in the 1990s learned faster as grown-ups were watching NBA games on TV together and betting live, the kids were also amazed at what they could make. Their eyes open wider realizing they can do it themselves without the grownup's knowledge.

Even when they were just risking their NBA cards or pennies, it's still the start of it. All it takes is just one small win and they are going to find it a success. Winning bets is addictive.

In the city where I live, it can be said that the habits of adults will pass on to the minors around them, even though adults gamble secretly, they dont show gambling to minors, but indirectly, sometimes adults in my area accidentally say bets. in front of small children, such as when adults joke with their friends and argue about something they dont know and say "lets bet on a pack of cigarettes" accidentally a minor hears the word and will practice it another day with their friends when one day the child was playing hide and seek and said to his friend lets bet on who wins.

statement you say makes a lot of sense, even though as an adult you have covered up your gambling activities, but environmental habits like that can influence minors to think about "lets bet". therefore, the importance of parental insight is that they should provide education to their children who are still underage so that they continue to provide bad knowledge about betting.

But what you describe doesn't sound to me like as if adult gambling habits spread like a pandemic among the children as well and also have negative consequences for their lives. Remembering my childhood I have also made little bets for whatever, like little things. Sometimes it was an ice cream and later on it was maybe the ticket to visit a cinema, but I would never say that any of these experiences let me to gambling today. I think it also has to do with exposure to sports in general and maybe also the time someone spends at the computer. I personally would not visit these physical betting locations very often, I would probably go there less than once a month if online gambling wasn't there. But now I do place a bet more often as I like sports and it is only a click away to place a bet.

The Australian Government once said about abolishing gambling ads as a means of reducing gambling activities amongst underage people. But, I think they'll be no successful way of stopping young people from gambling.

No way to expect to stop these kids from learning gambling because some of them as been with their parents already and seen them gambling. Maybe we could there is a reduction but generally, it was not an effective way to avoid kids getting involved in gambling. We can't just them the truth that gambling already exists and with some of their games it seems to be they already gambling.

Whether we like it or not, the trend seems to be going where more young minds get into gambling. Online games are rampant nowadays, to hard for the government to track and stop them all. In fact, even social media influencers already promoting gambling sites.

So it will become increasingly difficult to reduce the number of people who gamble. The government could only reduce the number of advertisements displayed, but to reduce the number of gamblers, the government needs to conduct outreach to its citizens. They need to provide different approaches from the previous ones so that awareness will arise among their citizens to stay away from gambling.

And even if they still want to gamble, the government must be able to emphasize the importance of having self-control. This is so they do not experience the gambling addiction many other gamblers have experienced. If different approaches can make people who gamble frequently start reducing their gambling activities, it may reduce the number of gamblers.

But for children, this requires somewhat stricter supervision from their respective parents because children's social interactions today are much different from a few years ago. Children are now familiar with devices and the internet so they can use them without supervision from their parents. They will also easily visit the casino and gamble there. With easy internet access, the number of young people who gamble can increase if there is no correct information about gambling.

If the parents also have a gambling problem then we can expect that their child will also follow them since that's what they see and for sure they think that its normal for a person to gamble. Especially if no parents can guide them, We can also expect that they might go to traumatic experience like having a bad childhood like they might think about doing crimes just to finance their bad activities.

For parents not to came on point where they face the worse on their children maybe best for them to stop this activity and maybe listen up to those people telling that they are not doing good anymore especially for taking care of their children since they might face worst case scenario and they can't handle their child anymore.

I don't know about anything called gambling while growing up and I believe that's because my parents and brothers aren't into gambling, not even a single close friend ever talked about gambling, I knew about gambling when I was already over 25 years old and I was already developing some basic skills so I don't have the time to look at gambling at all.

While learning my skills for fashion designs that's where I heard many bad stories about gamblers and some even took their lives taking poison because they lose life savings to gambling, it was scary, my father also used to tell me about how disastrous gambling can be for humans, it's just scary all around that I don't ever want to get involve with it.

There is nothing inbuilt about gambling, if kids knows about gambling it's not through the TVs or cartoons, it's definitely people around them, or the company they keep, they can't just decide to do something when they have no experience or exposure to it, hereditary? That's stupid, sorry we grow up from diffenrt homes and I don't see my circles gambling around.

The Australian Government once said about abolishing gambling ads as a means of reducing gambling activities amongst underage people. But, I think they'll be no successful way of stopping young people from gambling. As it's in them. Most articles here also say things like gambling addiction being hereditary. That means gambling can be hereditary as well. ~

Of course gambling is hereditary, it's in our genes. Life was tough millions of years ago, those who where afraid of taking risks didn't survive, did not produce offspring, did not pass on their genetic code further. But now we are living in different times. We should learn to suppress those inherited instincts if needed. And we should teach our children that gambling is not for them until they grow up. There's many things for adults only and gambling is one of them.

It's easier than said. Even if you teach or lecture your children, you can't stop them from exploring things, and gambling is one of them. Parents can't monitor their child's activity 24/7, so they will never know if their child is gambling. In short, the person itself explores things like gambling by nature. The most possible solution for children not to do gambling is to abolish gambling itself, which we know is impossible, so what will we do? Maybe more censorship, especially on social media and television, or on all platforms that children can access. I personally do gambling, and I don't want to go to the point wherein my country will prohibit the gambling, whether online or physically. So it's up to the parents on how they will guide their children; it's their responsibility. If a parent itself does gambling and you let your children witness it, then you as a parent are irresponsible.

That means gambling can be hereditary as well. Because I just watched from a distant two kids below 10 years, staking bets, after a long argument about who the artiste of a specific song is. They later staked close to 40 cents each, for the person who gets the answer right. Then they went ahead to verify. And I lost sight of them. I thought about, how come or who thought these kids about betting money during a long argument. I was able to memorize, back when I was a kid. We easily said, how much would you bet if it turns out I'm saying the truth; during an argument. It made me understand that, despite during those days we had no phones or access to the internet, gambling is somehow embedded to the brain of humans. Then, as a child, we weren't exposed to gambling. I could only remember of lotto, as a kid. But we still said things like "let's bet it"

It's good that the Australian Government thought of it and I think it's right to ban gambling ads. I know it might not create a major impact but it will surely reduce the gambling activities slightly.
The % might be relevantly less but it's worth it considering it is saving few people from losing money and getting addicted to gambling.

It all depends on how parents educate them, sometimes a child can imitate what they see and hear what is around them from their environment, if they are far from gambling it will definitely not have a bad impact on them even though the government prohibits gambling advertisements I think that too It won't help if the environment is still heavily associated with gambling.

I also often did that when I was little and that was also due to the influence of my school environment where they always asked us to bet on the football games we played and we bet on football matches between class A kids and class B kids, yes, even though it wasn't using big money but still gambling can be affected by the environment as well and it will continue to be embedded into adulthood.
