There was a time when gambling was played through cards in our country and this game was mostly played by the elderly. But nowadays there are various online casino sites in our country even the casino sites have been legalized in our country. As a result, many boys in this country involve themselves in gambling from a young age. Cards are not played much anymore, but more and more people are flocking to online casino sites. Parents of youngsters who are involved in gambling from a young age are very concerned about their children's future. I have also heard stories of young people in our country who are daily wage laborers and earn money from it by betting in casinos only because of their addiction.
There are many youngsters who drop out of school and college and gamble on online casino sites in droves.
Topic: In Your Country Who Gamble More? Young Ones or Elderly Ones - page 2. (Read 1565 times)
Personally I think people won't actually be able to accurately tell the majority of gamblers in their region based on age group more like older or younger gamblers. My reason for saying this is because most of the time people easily tend to Carry out their conclusion based on their present circle or the majority of people around them or even based on what the notice most of the time. For this reason if a person who knows a great deal of young gamblers is asked what age class of people gambles the most he will most likely say younger gamblers since it's what he perceives more often.
Likewise if a gambler who knows a lot of old gamblers and also little or no young gamblers is asked a similar question he would also say older people Gamble more.

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.
You are right, both grades are into gambling, but the youth are the ones who are seen more often than the old people who are into gambling. The old people in my locality can only be seen most of the time focusing on pool gambling shops, where they use old newspapers and other materials to predict the team that will end up playing a draw in their next game. Another line in which we can also see them being very active is in the draft game, where they sit down with their fellow old men and challenge themselves on the game, trying to show who is superior and who has more skill, and they still end up betting against each other.
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.
So they may gamble too, could be some small game, could be some poker game, doesn't really matter, or horse races are quite common for this as well, you go there, watch races, meet friends and have fun. Younger generation is not like that, they just whip out their phone and gamble and be done. Doesn't matter who gambles more, it's different style.

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?
There is no way elderly people will not be gambling in any country where gambling is permitted because there is no country in this world where you will not see mixed behaviours and personalities. I also see nothing wrong with elderly people gambling if they are not losing money and focus to it to the point that their lives will be miserable because of it. But for me, it will get to a certain age when I will stop gambling altogether, this is a personal determination that I will surely fulfil.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?
In case you don't know, this has been peculiar to me since many years ago, and at that age, I want to occupy myself with only those things that give me a free mind to think and breathe without worries. By that time, I would like to invest more in the humanitarian aspect of life and social welfare and activities. I mean those things that will be productive to myself and humanity in general, so it's all about individuality here my friend, it's nothing personal or emotional as you made it look.
Since online gambling is already taking over the gambling market and gradually illuminating and outshining the old traditional method of gambling which is going to gambling outlets and shops, young people are more exposed to the modern way of gambling, which is online, so I can say that young people gamblers more now because they can now access casinos and gambling sites online, rather than going out of their houses to a gambling outlet before they can gamble.
It is true that the advancement of technology and IT in present civilization has changed the gambling style now people don't want to participate in gambling in primitive way it can be easily assumed that generally youths will not participate in gambling in primitive way. Generally old people who cannot easily understand any technology will participate in gambling in traditional way. However, in the context of our current situation, the tendency of gambling among the youth and students is increasing day by day. As the technology and software are more diverse in past gambling, the youth are usually more addicted to online gambling.In as much as technological advancement in gambling has brought gambling activities t spotlight and has contributed to the tremendous growth and publicity in gambling, we cannot overlook the fact that it has also brought it's own very disadvantages too.
Having the liberty to gamble anywhere and anytime with ease has indeed increased the rate of gambling addiction amongst the youths and those who has access to online gambling, even minors can now easily access online casinos with fake IDs or even their parents IDs, which has its own disadvantages too.
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.
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.

Comparing the gambling tendencies of young and old people, today young people are paying more attention to gambling than old people. Moreover, due to the various structural changes in gambling, the old people are not able to adapt themselves to the structural changes in gambling, so the old people are gradually withdrawing themselves from gambling and the young people are taking over the place of the old people.
Here I partially agreed with you about this with old peoples are not adopting, but many are still doing things with their old way and having fun and youngsters are having addiction because they are now having too many ways of jumping into this which is surely hurting them badly and things are going from bad to worse with their addiction is creating more problems into their lives which are not ideal situation.Old generation peoples are doing things with their timetable and having some places where they are spending time and enjoying this all with, they are also not addicted like youngsters which are having this all with apps and mobiles.
Old people don't have the energy just like the young people do, to continuously gamble. But, it has to be a regional problem. Gambling happens to be a game that unites some friends together, like the old people. They are some gamblers who are old and participates in the game with their friends as they not only want to be bored, but that has been a lifelong activity that kept them going during their early gambling days.
However, in my environment I'd say that young people are mostly into gambling due to the addiction they have on the internet lifestyle. Everyone possess some gadgets that keeps them busily engaged in gambling. But, when I watch videos of offline casinos, I tend to see more of elderly players lined up horizontally playing in all slot machines. In the future, my society would have lots of elderly gamblers, because more young people participates in the game today.

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.

Gamblers who are between the ages of 50 and 65 usually participate in traditional gambling with cards, in which case they choose cards as their gambling tool.
Gamblers between the ages of 30 and 40 usually participate in land-based casinos or gambling. These gamblers usually outnumber the elderly.
Gamblers between the ages of 18 and 30 usually bet on football and cricket online and their numbers are comparatively much higher than the above two categories. And nowadays the youth community is most attracted to online gambling and this has become a concern in our society.

The Government, Parents and social regulatory organisations and We can take action to cope the high rate of promotion from influencers and exposure on social media platforms with different fantasy promises. The younger generation is breeding irresponsible gamblers and those who forget the right means to get decent income but all lack the zeal for hardwork. This can lead to decline with government check mating these rampaging campaigns of online gambling sites.
This generation seems to have taken the wrong perspective on the aspect of making money; they just see gambling as a way of making easy and fast money without stressing themselves on any kind of pay as they work. I think the reason can also be traced back down to how gambling is being promoted by the influencers they follow and the kind of good testimony some gamblers share online about how gambling is the reason why they are living their dream life, paying off all the debt in their life and the rest of it, and these young people, without giving it a second thought, see it as an easy way to make a decent living.
In my opinion, it is a natural thing that young people with the various facilities they have today are lazy to work will have a big influence on what they have to do to earn money, and also we must pay attention to where education has a little mess at the time of covid19 which may have a bad impact because it does not get a very good education in this generation, so having thoughts that can get money easily by just playing and betting without doing much effort is the best choice for the lazy soul.
Coupled with the promotion of influencers that continues endlessly makes young people who are easily exposed to information on social media will follow it and try what the content creator is doing, seeing people can get profits easily and big will attract young people to try it until maybe most will get addicted to gambling and even crazy gambling, it is very difficult to treat this if without good education, especially with the impact of all world events today, literacy is decreasing, showing that this generation will provide different outputs in my opinion. IMO.

Today's young generation is a generation that can get everything instantly and that makes them want to immediately get the jackpot and wealth from gambling. I think this is one of the reasons why many young gamblers are addicted. I'm not saying there are no old gamblers who are addicted, but in my country usually old gamblers are able to regulate their emotions better when gambling.
I think young generation is really more addicted on gambling due to the existence of online gambling which makes anyone with mobile phone or computer can play anytime they want since online casino allows small deposits and smaller bets.
Also the social media is full of influencers that promotes gambling that’s why online gambling is so popular nowadays on young generation while old people can’t catch up because it’s hard for them to understand new technology.
Influencers that promotes gambling the main reason why online gambling is now popular in my country since some of them doesn’t care wether their viewers are minor or not just to get sugn up profit.
Older players are better gamblers from all indications, whether addicted or not, I can even say for certain that older gamblers who are addicted to gambling know how to manage their gambling addiction much more better than the younger generation, Old players know which game they are good at and have the most chances of winning, due to their long exposure and experience in the field of gambling, and over all, older players really know how to have fun gambling even while they are chasing for a win, this is much better than the younger generation that seems to be always after nothing else than money and more money.
Today's young generation is a generation that can get everything instantly and that makes them want to immediately get the jackpot and wealth from gambling.
