Topic: In Your Country Who Gamble More? Young Ones or Elderly Ones (Read 1565 times)
Here in my place older people tend to gamble more than the younger ones. I can confirm this because younger ones are busy with their studies and during weekend they hangout with friends or they are on their mobile devices which is not that important for older people. Most of the time I see majority of older people are involved in gambling activities compared to young ones.

It should be young Because Yangs are the most emotional and they panic a lot. They want to become big people quickly because they understand reality very much because the knowledge of reality is very little among them. But the elders understand the reality better and by making various mistakes at the young age they learn many things which the young do not understand. So I think young people gamble the most. If you google it, you will find that people in the age group of 25-40 gamble the most. It is the same in my country

The only age limit in gambling is minor, apart from those that are below 18 years old any age can gamble and in my country very old men are gambling frequently just like young people. It is not only in Africa that old men are gambling but I think it is only in Africa that woman are the bread winner of the family while the men sit at home and do nothing but only to gamble and play games.
I do not think we have woman breadwinner more in Africa because it is the tradition in Africa for men to look for money while the woman takes care of the home in most African homes. In other parts of the world there could be equal rights between woman and men but in Africa men are seen as the more superior and no man will allow his home to be controlled by his wife by settling down at home without providing for the family. In Africa you men are the people that gamble more because they are looking for money to take care of their family as their is no job and a good source of getting money. You will not see anybody that is gambling in Africa just for fun unless you are looking between the very rich class of people.

Do you see such elderly people in your country? Or is it only in Africa? Is the younger ones play gamble more than the elders?
It's also the same in my country but I don't have such data to say which is more and less but I'd only say that I see both in all ages that does gambles. A young ones or a young professional at the right age that becomes addicted in gambling and having problems on how they'd spend their money well and to keep themselves in intact budget. And the same goes for the elderly, they're professionals, have got a job and family but also, they're experiencing problems when there are times that they spend 1/4 to half and even full amount of their salaries.In my opinion, I believe young gambler are more than the aged gamblers, that is if the age range for separating the young from the old is 50 year, then it's obvious we'll find more of the young ones gambling offline and online. Most of the old gamblers gamble more for fun sake and to relieve their self from stress and all of that, but majority of addiction gamblers are the young ones. From the house games I've been to the young who are desperate in making money without jobs usually get addicted. The old are usually assumed to be more experienced in making decisions than the young.

With the current situation, I believe that it's the younger people or the younger generation are the ones who stick to gambling all the time. I see people who gamble with their smartphones and never stopping. Even in land-based ones, there are more younger people than the elderly.
Maybe it's best to be more specific on the age bracket so we can quantify it better.

Well in my country if they could, children would play, but since it is for adults, those aged 18 and over play without exception, it is difficult to determine which population plays the most in casinos. At least when I go to the casino I find an equal number of young people and adults, older adults, so I think that all of this is very diversified. My country is predominantly young people, so just by pure logic and roughly speaking they should make more young people, that is what I think.

In my country, both old and young are the same since there are so many online casinos and you only need to have a wallet to use for deposit. Since there's a casino in my country, gambling is only allowed when you are in the right place but if yoiu are not then you might g lo to jail if caught that's why most gamblers in my country only use mobile phone to play. Only minors are not allowed to gamble. If you go here in my country, you will most likely see young and old gambling using mobile phone.

I think that nowadays in most European, central European countries and Western European you will notice that even the people over 60 of age have started to gamble hard, this because of the digital age and they have nothing to do after they have retired and they pass and kill time with gambling. This can be a worrying thing that happen as it cause bad consequences if they get addicted yet can be called a good thing somehow as they are playing and killing time and they are not bored now that they are out of the work zone. As for young ones nowadays it is the same story, they play from everywhere in the world because of the massive exposure to technology they have from US to Somalia to sum up the world.

Overall I think it is clear that young people are much more involved in gambling than older people, environmental factors are one of the biggest triggers in this case, and for parents as we know they have a big responsibility to support all their family members which is one of the things that is quite preventing parents from choosing to use their money to meet all their living needs rather than risking it in gambling, unlike young people who usually enjoy money from their work to fulfill all their own desires and needs.
In my country gambling is an illegal activity but there are still many ways to stay involved in gambling especially in online casinos especially for young people who usually always have many ways to access gambling.
Oh yes another thing that is also very influential is that now we are in the digital era where now you can find or search for any information so that it makes most people comfortable to continue accessing internet media for a longer period of time especially young people, and as we know that now the internet or social media is one of the biggest places for casinos to promote and that is another reason why I say that young people are more involved in gambling than old people.

Both I think are engaging in gambling. The adoption of smartphones I think contributed to all these siesta moments even in the time when they are supposed to be working.
Social media is more addictive than gambling though, this is where people are spending more time on social media trying to learn what each other is doing. But the casinos are also grabbing attention especially if it's about national sports, people are betting on it online regardless of age.
It's a digital age after all, social media seems to more addictive than gambling but it's also the same thing if you examine properly.Gambling is also a social space and people tend to do more and overdo whatever at all costs.People gamble to the extent of creating comfortable measures to facilitate and continue to gamble whether it's online or even going to local gambling centers.Morever,the gambling activities in almost every country is growing tremendously and Likely,it won't be easy to determine the level of engagers to gambling amongst the old and young; they'll all gamble in as much as a lot of of Will not like to reveal that they're into gambling.
In my own country, I don't know who I will say that gamble more because everyone wants to get more in anyway they can, so both young and old gamble.
They gamble to the extent of not knowing who gamble most, the young will want to gamble more, the old would want to show that they gamble more too, so I can't really dictate on who gamble most, although they believe that they can get rich through gambling and if they opportunite for them to win and get some money, that will encourage them to go and gamble more but whichever one that gamble most, my advice is that they should gamble responsibly so that it won't cause them any harm or damage.

I believe that there are both audiences, but in different micro-followings, the older ones tend to bet on lottery shops and Jogo do Bicho, while the younger ones either on sports betting or luck-based games like slots.
Influencers here are heavily promoting slot-based gambling and the trend is that we see more and more young people playing.
While the older public tends to physically go to lottery outlets to place their bets, young people tend to bet in online casinos.
Furthermore, the gambling sector is growing very strongly in the country.

A young ones or a young professional at the right age that becomes addicted in gambling and having problems on how they'd spend their money well and to keep themselves in intact budget.

From the house games I've been to the young who are desperate in making money without jobs usually get addicted. The old are usually assumed to be more experienced in making decisions than the young.
As far as I am concerned there are more numbers of both for gambling but the easy way of online gambling is attracting more youths. More or less all youths are using mobile phones and can bet with friends wherever they are. Physical casinos are preferred for seniors but the use of technology has reduced the quality of physical casinos to a great extent with everyone opting for online ones.
Yes this is the reality because old people are less skilled in online gambling than young people that's why old people are not able to adapt themselves to online gambling. On the other hand, physical gambling is generally seen to involve older people, because in this case, cards or other ancient methods of gambling are involved, so the attraction of young people is less, but the skills of young people are mainly observed online, because online gambling is mainly made according to the preferences of young people. 
During the era of the elder ones they didn't have any casinos in their places just casual bet with the people around them and also they are using entertainment games without online, I often see elder people here playing pool games, chess and cockfighting as a form of their gambling they are showing their skills through out experience during their times and for the young ones, this is the new form of entertainment because of the technology and innovation gambling casinos offering more convenient to the people. Not all elders knows the use of the technology they will stick on their traditional way because that's the thing they know and not in the online world.

The only age limit in gambling is minor, apart from those that are below 18 years old any age can gamble and in my country very old men are gambling frequently just like young people. It is not only in Africa that old men are gambling but I think it is only in Africa that woman are the bread winner of the family while the men sit at home and do nothing but only to gamble and play games.
But we know that when the internet connection is available on that country and they are no limitation from their government, minor can playing gambling easily and they can hide their gambling activity from the adult people. That will makes them playing gambling with calm because no one will know what they do. Maybe the elderly still playing gambling at their friends and their younger people look what elderly do so they will try it with their friends. Playing gambling can cause from their environment and with many people playing gambling, old or young can triggers the others playing gambling too. It needs concern from the government to educate their citizens to realizes the effect of playing gambling.

As for how it is in my country, well, the elderly people are not gambling as such, there is no way they will be gambling so much that I will not know about it as I move around more often. It is the middle-aged people who mostly gamble in my opinion, and if the elderly ones are gambling indeed, then the population will be lower than 0.05% here.
A younger age is added to the average age of gamblers (in my country). Even more so, underage young people. I have personally seen people who bet on gambling on a regular basis. This is facilitated by the easy availability of mobile (gambling) apps, smartphones and the internet. Almost from childhood, people already have access to all this, which allows them to make a very early start in gambling.I don’t have detailed statistics, but in my region the number of active gamblers is more skewed towards younger people than older ones. Of course, old people also play, but in incomparably different proportions from young people.
Secondly, your point about seeing the elderly ones everywhere playing games is just baseless to me because no one says he can't play games and have fun at an old age but saying Gambing will be avoided at that age, which is personal. Or are the elderly people you saw told you they gamble all the time they play the games?
I don't think your right cause I live in Africa too and in my area and country, elder ones play gambling more than younger ones, have you seen the crowd of elderlies outside a gambling shop cause a lot of em don't use their phones to gamble and they rely on gambling shops, IMO since I can't tell how many youths use online casinos, I'll just say that elderly ones use physical gambling shops more and youths use online casino more, no numbers here no facts.
Well said mate because of hardship in some many countries today don make elderly people's to joined gambling because although they see it as a way of survival that's why you see that any gambling bet office that you go today you we noticed that the elderly people's are more plenty than the youths, however just as you have said earlier the youths prefer to use online casino.
