Before the introduction of the online way of gambling, which is the use of mobile devices, the elderly were into gambling in the traditional method more than the young ones. However, the introduction of mobile way gambling changed the way of gambling which makes the young one to be more active in gambling than the elderly ones. Elderly ones are more into gambling in a traditional method than the young, while the young are more into mobile(modern) gambling than the elderly.

Where I come from, the elderly see the traditional way of gambling as a way to test how intelligent they are with one another(not bets with money always), and to whine away their time to be happy during the process of playing draft board games(draft games can be so addicted)

True. The advancement in technology and its adoption is what causes the change. The Elderly can't flow along with the new methods now, and finding difficult to cope with. They still gamble at pool centers with pen and paper while youngsters are using there mobile devices to place bets.

On the average the young ones gamble more than the elderly now.

Most likely. It's the young ones who are here in the forum and know more about crypto and online gambling. And the younger generations are more tech-savvy than the old ones who barely know how to surf the web. If there was just a gambling app on facebook, the youngsters today would have been playing cards with their facebook friends.

A friend about 10 years older than me doesn't know how to turn on a laptop, he asked me for help with it, and a few hours later he asked me again how to turn it off. I was thinking what was he doing the entire time using the device, he was just looking at it.

The age that is considered legal to gamble in our country is 18 years old, and the law strongly prohibits the youth from gambling, we have a saying in our country that our youth is the hope of one's nation, and it is considered a corruption of minor if an adult teaches a young one to gamble and the physical gambling platform that allows youth to enter their premises will get their license revoked and charged.
So here in our country, it's the elders who gamble the more because they are already mature and they have the means to sustain their betting

Before cryptocurrencies and online betting phenomenon, gambling was more common among older people (adults and elders). However, nowadays it seems the scenario is changing with the high adoption of sports betting by younger generations, which can be practiced through digital devices in a very accessible way. It's normal to walk on the streets and see young people betting on soccer matches through apps on their smartphones. I've already see many students and workers betting on such games during their breaks from lessons or work.

And they are pretty confident about the results they can make from it on long run, what makes me believe they aren't very skilled and experienced on this activity yet, since they seem to not believe or understand most of them are going to face losses on long run, instead of the initial belief of consistent results are achievable. In my opinion it's a temporary hype, and the tendency is that young ones stop gambling as soon as they find out gambling isn't profitable for them.

There is a bet9ja shop at almost every 100meters. And which age group are there all the time. Even when it comes to online casinos, I would even argue that they are not used to navigating it, talk more of using crypto to gamble. I give it more to the young ones. The OP should go back and read my topic on Why the Reluctance, he would understand that the statistics given there refers to the younger people and not the elderly.

Yes, what you said is true, because according to
researchgate.net which happens to be a research website, I was made to understand that truly in Nigeria, and most especially when it comes with regards to online gambling, I was made to understand the majority (i.e 79%) of online betting is done by young adults within the age bracket of 18-35 years, which stand to be a large sum as compared to those below 18yrs and above 35yrs who shares the remaining 2 1%.

So honestly speaking, with this it should stand as a proof that young adults are the set of individuals known to gamble the most in all nook and cranny.

I'm not quite sure.

I saw a lot elderly ones playing poker, chess and any other skill based games that can be played offline.

In other hands, I also saw a lot young ones gamble on online casinos especially in slots and sports.

So, I don't really know which one gamble more since they're equal, both of them gamble in different games on different world. I rarely see old people gamble on online casino, perhaps it's because they can't socialize unlike in land based casino.

so far there is no definite estimate whether young people gamble more than old people or vice versa in my country, but i estimate that young people gamble more in my country, this is because of the increasing number of online casinos operating in my country and most this casino targets young people as their users. this makes many young people become gamblers and the games they play most often are slots, everywhere i see people sitting relaxing with their smartphones while opening slots, and this is a sight that is no longer strange. but this is just my estimate from my experience, because there is no specific research to support this.

From what I have noticed in my country and maybe the same with some other countries too, I see lately more young people are involved in gambling, especially in some types of online casinos, one of the reasons may be in terms of socialization, plus now the digital world is increasingly sophisticated which makes most people, especially young people, more comfortable to spend their time playing the internet which as we know that most casinos now, especially online casinos, make the internet or social media as their main promotional place to reach more people.

As I said that these days most of the people spend more time playing social media which increases the possibility for them to be exposed to gambling and eventually fall into it, while on the other hand I see the elderly are much less likely to play social media because maybe they have limitations in terms of learning social media which means that maybe this can conclude that overall it is clear that it is the young people who are more or more often involved in gambling especially in my country.

Where I live, gambling is considered a negative and illegal activity, so the existence of land-based casinos where I live can be said to be non-existent at all, except for land-based casinos which are illegal and even that is very rare, because the security forces always carry out patrols and raids in one place. there is illegal gambling activity. So it will be quite difficult for parents to gamble safely and comfortably. Plus, most of the people in my country are very technologically ignorant, so they can't access online gambling.

And this is very different from the behavior of some young people in my country, where even though gambling is considered a negative and illegal activity, among young people, they already consider online gambling normal. Gambling has become a real problem for young people in my country, because many of them are trapped in irresponsible gambling activities. And what is the domino effect of an addiction to gambling, this can really destroy their morals and future.

I see in my country the elderly ones are gamble more than the young ones.

Most of retired people have a lot time that they don't know what they need to spend, so they will do anything they like including gambling. Money isn't their main objective anymore, but their health and happiness are what they looking for, while the young ones are really like to make money.

If young people meet up every week or month, the retired people can meet up everyday.

We need the numbers. A proper study on this, something big. It seems like everyone assumes its the young crowd because, hey, they're always on their phones. But sometimes we forget theres a whole world of traditional gambling the older generations are still plugged into. Without that data, we dont have a leg to stand on. This isnt just idle curiosity either. A big survey like this can tell us how things are changing, what groups might need help down the line. We cant have smart policies or meaningful support programs without knowing the real scope of the issue.

In the case of my country, most of the people who gamble here are young people and usually the games they play are slots. This is quite reasonable because gambling here is prohibited, so older people cannot access offline casinos and they are also not very technologically savvy, which limits them from accessing online casinos from their devices. However, it is different from young people, where they understand technology so it is very easy for them to play slots from their smartphones and make deposits/withdrawals.

It's funny. It turns out that the ban is broken by the fact that it is easy to bypass and only those who cannot understand VPN/cryptocurrencies fall under its effect. Another example of the fact that to maintain freedom you need freedom of speech (VPN) and cryptocurrency (private money), otherwise the state will enslave you completely. The fact that in the case of gambling restrictions make sense does not change the pattern - if the state can, then it will limit you in everything it can get its hands on.

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?

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.

It's the same in my country, you see elder people in the real casinos and not young guys at all, but with elder i mean 50+ YO, and the young gamblers used to do it online, some of my friends have accounts on virtual casinos and they place bets from their phones.

But answering the main question, who gambles more? i would say the young gamblers are more, but the old people gamble bigger amounts.

In my country it seems the young people and the middle-ages are more involved in gambling. Young people try different form of gambling while middle aged people are more focused on card games. That group of people earn for their own and have decent amount to spend on gambling without any trouble. Young people have many needs and desire so they have less time and money to gamble. Old pensioners too lack good money so gambling doesn't come in their priority.

This is not a fictional story or thread but it is for fact fun so if you think it is not good for you to make comment, nobody forces you. But it is your choice but you have already made it, so how do you called? You would have avoided it. I create this thread base on experience in my location and the places I traveled around in the country. Even when I was doing my National Youth Service/Community Service, I the elderly people Playing Gamble in the villages. So if you have not seen them in your side then you would have skipped the thread and this thread is not what you think of it.

it is very clear that the youths are more into gambling than the older people, since most of the older people can't even operate a smartphone, and right from time the youth are the most pressured ones, they have to do this and do that so that they will become successful.

It all depends on the kind of gambling that is popular in your location. Besides online gambling, other kinds of betting don't require any electronic gadgets like mobile phones or computers. Physical games like cards, chess, ludo, draft, and other local games could be used for gambling. In some locations ( mainly underdeveloped areas) some of these physical games are still popular that both the young and would elderly engage in them.

But I can attest that online games are popular in urban cities where many people are educated and have access to mobile phones. Therefore I will absolutely agree that when it comes to online gambling young people are more active because most of them are conversant with the internet.

This is why it is hard to conclude about the general population in a country. You can't precisely tell how many younger or older ones are into gambling, whether online or physical ones. You can just deduce the information depending on what you are seeing but the actual stats, I don't think you can really get this one.

when you say "elder ones" what age are you referring to(same with "young ones", when you say that what age are you referring to)? because from my experience, I usually see gamblers that look like they are middle-aged men and women gambling, though there are those that look like they are in their twenties but they aren't as many as middle-aged gamblers. anyway, if you referring to "elder people" as someone who is in their late 60s I'd say they aren't gambling more than the younger ones, I only usually see them in bingo halls but you rarely see them in any other gambling shops.

And that also, you need to define the older or younger ones here. What age brackets is he referring to? And besides, as I stated above, would be hard to determine the exact figures here because you will only get estimates as it is quite challenge to get stats like this.

If that's your question, of course I can't answer, if you ask about the country, the reason is: I can't cover the activities of other regions in detail and detail, because the country is large and has many tribes, BUT if that can be answered only for regions/provinces /area.

The point is: in my area, if we talk about online gambling the most, of course there is a 50/50 balance between young people and seniors, seniors don't want to lose out on playing with young people when it comes to risking money in online gambling, What's more, lottery gambling is generally played by the elderly, online gambling has increased in my area due to Covid, they have no other activities other than gambling that they can do and that continues to this day.

Not only online gamble that youths are more active in, even in taditional gamble, youths are more active than elders. In general, as long as gamble is concerned youths gamble more than elders. If you have noticed, those elders that gamble traditionally must gather up at a place which is seen as their gambling arena.

Youths that love more traditional games or that are use to traditional gambling, can gamble anywhere. In the bus, in an uncompleted building, in empty classrooms and any more unusual places. I have seen some set of young gamblers that gambled for 24hrs. An elderly gambler will not try to gamble in such manners, but with caution and in public. Many more reasons why I believe that youths gamble more on either side whether tradition or online.
