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’s a lot of elderly people here that doing casual gambling in barber shops on games like chess and checker. Previously, backyard card gambling is very popular in my country which the elderly always hangout to each other and gamble all day using small bets for their leisure time but right now our government ban this backyard gambling that makes it less popular nowadays.

I believe gambling is always popular on elderly especially if they are doing this when they are young since time flies by quickly when your mind is focus in the game and enjoying it.

The only remaining gambling spot here are the barber shop for chess player that do bets.

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.

When you say younger ones I assume that the younger ones are still in the studying stage and still rely on their parents to sustain their education and their needs we can assume if this is the case then the elderly are the ones capable of gambling so they comprise the majority of gamblers where gamblers is legal.

Here in our country, we are very strict on allowing young people to gamble the regulators make sure that the law that prohibits young one from gambling are observed.
There's a penalty and imprisonment for those who violate these laws, if you visit physical gambling platforms you will see signs that says Minors are not allowed.

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.

With advent of cryptocurrency, online gambling is now possible where it's banned by the government. In my country (Pakistan), gambling is prohibited by the government but people still do it in hidden. As far as age is concerned mostly it's the young one who do it and not many elderly people are seen doing gambling. As gambling is illegal and there are punishments for people who do gambling, mostly people stay away from gambling to avoid legal actions against them.

Do you see such elderly people in your country? Or is it only in Africa?

Such elderly people do exist and yes they play the draft game which they use in gambling. It is a longtime game that they have been used to, bringing them together from different places to converge in their known location to gamble. However, some young people also join but they are not much compared to the elderly. So it is more of older people's game than the young.

Is the younger ones play gamble more than the elders?

I was thinking that you would differentiate between the games because there are games that are known played by the youth often like sports and football while the elderly play more of draft. So in other words, the young people are more of online gamblers than the elderly.

As someone from Africa, I don't agree entirely with your evaluation. I have lived in multiple environments and in those environments, youngins are usually the ones much more actively involved in gambling than aged people. The only exception would be that the environment with more older people indulging in gambling vs youngins is underdeveloped areas. In more urban areas, the reverse is the case because its a different bull game and more bills to be paid.

Fun fact: I haven't seen a board game in 5 years or more.

I saw more Elderly people gambling using the draught board game in Bayelsa State than in any other state that I have lived in. If you have lived there you would have noticed. It is the game of the elderly. Despite this, I cannot say that they gamble more than the younger generations.


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.

The younger ones gamble more than the older ones. The reason is because the population of the youths is higher than the elderly, bad health conditions and death is a challenge to elderly people. Technology have made it easy for the youths to access the casino and place their bets easily, unlike the elderly ones who are used to traditional gambling, they need to go to where they will gamble.

Majority of youths see gamble as a get rich quick scheme, which is making more youths pumping into gamble, thinking that they are hustling.Elderly ones already understand that gambling is for fun, and they gamble only for fun. I don't think that there is an elderly person who have not gambled before in his life, that will say he wants to start gambling at old age. Any elder gambling, have been gambling for long.

The checkers game that you mentioned in which our elders use in gambling, is a game that I understand and know how to play it. So sometimes, if it happens that I need to see someone but he is at the traditional casino gambling, when I get there, I watch the game for a while to see who will win the bet, before I leave.

I also think that youths gamble more, because they are more inexperienced in money making. They are ambitious and always search quick and easy. Perseverance is not for them, and since a lot of games in gambling are quick, they gamble to get a better result faster. When elders slowly, step by step go to a desired result. (elders work / youth use gambling to get rich) And as usually, youth are in gadgets all the time, the chance that they gamble with it is higher than elder person would use a gadget to gamble.

Things have changed drastically now that we have online casinos, I wonder how anyone will have the accurate answer for this question, we can only talk about what we saw unfolding in our area.

Before online gambling become a thing, many youths are into gambling more than adults, and I guess that's because of shame in the public by the people, in Africa people will give you name if they find out that you are a gambler.

This type of things make many people to avoid the casinos and betting locations around their cities, but now that we have online casinos it will be easier for any adults or older people to gamble unless they don't know how to operate  smartphones which many older people are facing today in my country.

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 one, they have to do this and do that so that they will become successful.

I live in a country where religion is very strong. even five major religious groups exist in my country. That's why gambling is strictly prohibited here, but surprisingly, people really like to gamble online. In fact, according to data from the financial transaction analysis agency, the first rank in slot gambling is dominated by young people.

whether it is an achievement, or even the moral and religious decline of young people in my country, what's more, this activity has been banned by the government.

I have lived in many communities and some States or regions in my country and there are some communities I went and I discovered that women are more productive by going to farm and other daily activities to provide food in the family than men. While the male sons and fathers are busy playing bet with Checkers Game and popular known in my locality "Draft Board Game" and bet on "Whot Card Game". And their.wives would go to farm or fishing to feed the families. Till date those things are common in the places I have visited in the country, mostly the elderly ones who the young once are busy using the casino centers and websites to play their games.

The elderly ones are still busy playing games with the traditional methods so most of us didn't notice that they are gambling but they bet with money and that has become automatically a gambling habit while the younger generation is using the new methods of online and casino Halls. Mostly of this elders would left home early morning to the draft games centers and stay there till evening. Playing games with one another. In most time they use places that sells drinks and smoking things like cigarettes and others. Those places are always busy with elderly people.

Here in our country, I can say that when it comes to the population of gamblers, it is balance because nowadays there's a lot of younger people who's actively engaging in gambling activitiea especially in online gambling. It's like the older gamblers is more active in land base casinos and the younger gamblers is more active in online gambling so there's really a balance. Here in our country, sometimes it's just worrying because even the minors have the idea of ​​gambling because of the vulgar advertisements that spread on social media, so I won't be surprised if in the coming years the population of young addicts will increase even more because they became aware at a young age.

I will say it is quite hard to tell who gamble more, as we would never really know the amount of online gamblers from one country, and making a conclusion only by taking offline casino is not correct. From my own experience, I rarely saw young gamblers in offline casino. I think the reason for that is that they go there only to gamble, which means they have limited budget for such activity. When elder go to offline casino to play, and they spend a good amount on drinks or snacks. Young person would never order 12-15 yo whiskey, but rather only spend money on gambling or maximum he would get one beer. With online casino, it is total random, but I think elder gamble more.

In my country the younger is gamble more than the old people because here we lack of job vacancy and it make people to find other way to make money, gambling is one of the ways for them. Some people win, but most people go broke and it make them become thief or criminal to earn money.

And especially middle aged people in here seem to gamble online, at least those that don't use it as excuse for socializing. Because it's safer and takes less effort.
I won't say socializing is an excuse for people who gamble on land based casinos, we don't know what will happen, someone might able to find high roller who willing to make a business.

It has always been the elderly who gamble here (in finland), and gambling gets more popular during economic depression that we are facing. But just this morning i heard the news on on my alarm clock radio where they said that young people are gambling even less now then few years ago, and their overall attitude against gambling is more hostile, which is interesting.

In fact every negative comment about gambling has came from youngsters, and that argument is that it's a scam against poor people who are bad with their money, and old people who play their pensions to slot machines and lottery tickets. I feel that they have more acceptance for sports gambling, but casino and lottery type games seem to be very unpopular among young people in here.

And especially middle aged people in here seem to gamble online, at least those that don't use it as excuse for socializing. Because it's safer and takes less effort.

I think the same thing happened in my country (at least in the city where I live) but of course I cant say that what is happening in the city where I live is representing the whole country. Here in my city, there are still some elderly people who do play traditional gambling game (mostly card games), gambling game where they play against each others and no young people play this game. For the main question who is gamble more, it depends on the type of the game. I can say elderly people gambler more than younger (for traditional games), but for modern game especially online casino, I'm sure younger people gamble more than elder people.

I think with the emerging of online games, I can see that young generation these days have easily get hooked into those variety of games and eventually fall into gambling addiction. But what we also don’t know is that even elders these days are still into gambling, although they’re not visible playing with their smartphones but that’s because they are having more fun with gambling in betting shops or real casinos wherein they can socialize with other gamblers as well. That only proves that both are still active when it comes to gambling, some are just fond with online while others prefer betting into physical casinos.
I agree with you, with now the existence of this online gambling makes many young people interested in doing it, not even just young people. I think all people do it, it's just that the more dominant ones are young people who eventually lead to gambling addiction that is not easy to stop. In my neighborhood, online gambling is very rampant, so many people in every hangout always tell their friends about gambling. This is very profitable for the host, because indeed the purpose of them holding online gambling is to expand their network to be able to attract more people and in my opinion casino companies are successful with that, they have made many young people interested in online gambling which is said to provide easy profits.
But in my neighborhood there are rarely physical casinos because gambling is a prohibited activity so many of those who do gambling are with online gambling. Sometimes they do it in the middle, which is said to play in the middle even usually will provide an easy victory, I don't know if it's true or not but that's what happens in my neighborhood now.

Well, these stats may vary from place to place but in general, the elderly people or the adults in the early 30s to late 40s gamble more.
The reason is that gambling requires money and people have the most money in this time period.
Yes, people between the ages of 20 to 30 also gamble but I do not think they have control over the money as this age is basically career-building and one may not possess many funds during this time.

Also as you grow older than 50, the responsibilities take over, you may again start to get lose on the financial controls and near the retirement age, lack of funds may result in less gambling. There are a lot of factors to consider while collecting this data.

We have a law in our country that only allows 18 years old and above to bet on the lottery and other physical gambling platforms and they are not allowed on the vicinities of these places either, and young people rely upon their parents for their allowance since they are still in school and do not have stable jobs.

So with this, it's a fact that the elderly are the ones who gamble the most, but of course, it's different in other countries where it's legal for young people to gamble, and with the advent of online casinos the number could be equal, but I still maintain that the elders or adults have the numbers because they have the means.

Here in the United States I would say middle aged people are easily the biggest group of gamblers. The 30-50 age ranges. I fall in this range and I’m in a few text groups of buddies from college and it seems like damn near every one of us are gamblers. Small or big we all seem to make bets fairly regularly. It’s fun to talk about and see what people are doing versus yourself .
