With the easy accessibility of the online gambling sites and tools, the younger generation is more involved in gambling. The risk for them is not only that they will lose money but gambling at such a high rate and at the age of teenage will cause them a lot of problems like lack of physical activity or no interest in the studies as they will more inclined to get easy entertainment in the form of gambling.
This is of course quiet alarming as it raises concern about the newer generations future given the fact that most social media influencers and popular artists promote this kind of activity here in my country that may influence the mind of these youngsters. As technology advances young people can easily access through mobile devices without parents consent.

Yes that's right, the future of the younger generation is guaranteed if accessibility like this is not stopped immediately, on the other hand yes I think one of the things that must be stopped immediately is the promotion that is always carried out by influencers or content creators, because lately as we see that online gambling promotions are increasingly widespread and what is worried is when minors see promotions like this accidentally because with the development of increasingly sophisticated and modern times more people including minors who spend a lot of time playing cellphones. I think it is quite difficult for us to stop all of this and I think for this problem it should be the government directly who takes care of it with some new policies especially limiting such promotions on some social media, because it cannot be denied that it is very possible for children to gamble without the knowledge of their parents due to being influenced by some promotions that are displayed on some social media.

I have seen some people that have not allowed their children to be exposed to finance and making money, they want the children to first study and knowledgeable about what they want before they go into making money. They deny and deprive them certain access to finance until they are up to a certain age.

Gambling in early age is exposing the children to certain behaviour that their mind is not mature to carry at the time. When children gamble and win huge money they are likely to be disrespectful because even an adult who wins huge amount of money do misbehave to a certain extent because money actually have a controlling influence and if you can't control yourself you are likely to misbehave talk more of children. So life is a gradual process just like the day and night interchange theirselves when they should and it gives the earth morning and evening. There is time for everything, no need for rushing into gambling when you are not ready.

We know this will happen but as a parents we should be aware that our kids could access online gambling sites if they wanted to, especially if the gambling sites does not have a strict KYC verification. We will be able to help them if we will educate them, telling them the risk of addiction as that's very important. If they really want to gamble and we allow it, at least we should not lose keeping an eye on them so we will know their behavior and we are to the rescue to help them when necessary.

Gambling is not for minors, as all gambling sites requires you need to be 18+ to be able to gamble, but like I mentioned, without a KYC, a minor could just check and agree with the terms pretending to be not minor anymore.

Gambling risks are rising for young people


 

The rate at which younger generation are trouping into gambling is something meant to be worried about and seek for solutions to curb the situation. Gambling platforms is every were online gambling which is very accessible with anyone with an internet access, gambling centers is all over, there is no day you will not come across gambling advertisement. The younger generation with high rate of internet access, which they are easily influenced by friends, peers, school mates etc thinks gambling is fun but not. parents who  indulge in gambling should keep it away from their kids in other not to involve them because gambling is not an investment  and parents should keep family away from gambling environments and educate them the negative implications of gambling. Also Government and gambling platforms, have roles to play to assist in reducing it if they are not greedy or profitable minded alone.

Something that needs to be addressed while you still can, like you mentioned, gambling is everywhere, both online and offline. There are influenced that can easily attract this young generation. If you happen to be a parent now, better to work this out with your children providing correct information and the right guidelines on what gambling can bring if they mismanage everything. Awareness is a good start and giving them examples will give them a clear view of how big the risk that they might suffer if they fall into this kind of vices.


This is of course quiet alarming as it raises concern about the newer generations future given the fact that most social media influencers and popular artists promote this kind of activity here in my country that may influence the mind of these youngsters.

Yup, they are adding it up, with how those social media influencers delivered their fake participation in every gambling casinos that they are promoting quickly gain the attentions especially of those young age who thinks that they can easily duplicate that same outcome, an easy way to earn will easily attract young people to try some luck without knowing that they can turned it into addiction, alarming as it is and needs to provide serious attentions.

Lucky for me that I have 2 teens and 2 semi adult that always in the internet but never engage in gambling(not that I know because I have logs of their internet search and there are no even one gambling site or gambling associates)
maybe I just bought them in right way , lucky that our community is not a gambling connected place  where youngsters are not getting any knowledge from gambling same as their school that is handled by priest and sisters.

What is a younger generation? Kids? Teenagers? People younger than 18-21? Why they are allowed to gamble at all? The problem than is not increase of gambling risk among youngsters, but problem is with Casinos, if they allow underaged to gamble. Technically 18-21 are still teenagers, but from law point of view they are independent person, adult, that are allowed to do everything.

Anyway, there is a problem and it must be solved. How? Get that younger generation busy, change their interest, make them replace gambling with something else that is fun, entertaining and can bring them money.
the best and easy way? limit their internet access because from that surely we will prevent them from engaging in gambling online (not unless they are free to go in local gambling places)
parents are the one to be administrative towards their children , and if the kids can hide this from them so what more in gambling sites?
I don't think it will be easy to do because we know that today's generation is very dependent on internet connections, they are even willing to ask adults for a wifi connection to check their social media or others. Limiting their internet access likely won't stop them from visiting the sites they're already used to. Maybe parents need to implement other approaches that their children can accept well so that with awareness, their children can start reducing their activities from gambling or other unnecessary things. They also don't need to check their social media accounts too often because that can make them lazy to do other things and it will make them less responsible with themselves.

About the limitation of internet access... I am not sure whether how effective that solution would be, to be honest. Nowadays, so many things which are part of the daily life of any person takes one to have a I get it connection to be done. What happened in the pandemic is a good example of it, young people who were also students were forced by their situation to learn from home, to do their homework from their homes and even to interact from there with their family members from others cities, instead visiting.
People make money wires on their phones and those who are busy enough even ask for their dinner online, how would be possible to limit the internet access of a person in such a context?  It would be very difficult and even counterproductive.
Perhaps, it would be better to teach them about gambling addiction and the risk of irresponsible gambling, instead creating a taboo out of it.

The appearance of Internet has pros and cons then the existence of blockchain cryptocurrency-based online gambling has pros and cons.

I agree with you that teenagers need to be protected when they have yet matured in physical and mental aspects. But to be honest, I really can not know how to achieve it in sense of 100% success. Like proposals to KYC all cryptocurrency wallets, addresses just to control citizen money flow and tax better.

It is unrealistic and I see similar unrealistic hope to block teenagers completely from gambling.

In this modern world, the technology is advancing rapidly. While gambling casinos can add additional security measures, it will only do so much because teens can keep up with its pace just to satisfy their need to play and bet. Indeed, there is still no foolproof way to distinguish whether the account owner is of legal age or not because KYC can be bypassed by using identification cards of their parents or friends. They can even have a fake ID done in order to get inside a physical casino establishment, and it will be rare to be caught especially in places wherein security isn't as tight as it should be.

Which is why it's essential to teach your kids at home about how to behave and how to be responsible. The moment they become curious about gambling, it's your duty to educate them so they won't be tricked by the benefits of it, without fully knowing the possible heavy consequences waiting for them when things go wrong. Teenagers should be aware of the do's and don'ts so when the time they seek to experience gambling on their own, they will be wary of the possible impacts to their overall well-being.

More young people than older people bet online, which can lead to a lot of problems besides just losing money. Easy-to-reach game sites may attract teens. Problems could arise, such as not being busy enough and losing interest in schoolwork. To a large extent, this issue can be solved by showing kids what goes wrong when they gamble too much. Families can help teens understand the bad effects of bad behavior by talking to them openly about what to do and what not to do, as well as how it will hurt their personal growth and life.

Gambling risks are rising for young people
~~

I won't deny what you said in the thread and link you shared, it's just that if we want to, we have to look at all aspects, not just gambling. just imagine, for honorable members of my age, we are experiencing two or three different eras at once. Starting from everything being traditional, to everything being sophisticated because of technology. Here I just want to say that the current boom in entertainment and online gambling is just part of the era of technological progress.

But ok, let's talk according to the theme of this thread regarding "Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation". In principle, whether we like it or not, we will all follow the developments of the times, whatever they may be. Like it or not, we all have to follow it. If not, unfortunately for us there will be a lack of information and even knowledge. Currently, online gambling is something that is loved by almost all levels of society. whether because it is easy to access, instant entertainment and so on. however, there are various negative impacts on the development of the younger generation if they are not aware of it.

However, the point is that this era of digital technology makes everything easier for us. not just gambling, to order food, we don't need to leave the house with all the sophisticated features provided by the platforms that provide it. then what is the solution, unfortunately I am not an expert in this field. so, I am not in the capacity to comment on how it should be and the portions. what I can do is, provide education to my child according to his age, control him without feeling pressured. explain and tell, what is allowed and what is not, cause and effect. As for the teachers' duties and so on, I entrust them to them as it is the duties of teachers and schools. the rest, we as parents do our job as we should.  But it's worth remembering that understanding, insight, education must be involved.

Parents have lots of work to do in the society, although the current parents who don't know much about the tech world, have done their best, but seems they failed in their teachings regarding the use of gadgets for longer period. Hence, a new set of parenthood would be emerging soon, which include the tech savvies and computer trained people. Then we'd know if the problem is from the parents or the schools. It may be the fault of the parents to some extent, but the society has a lot of duties to do with young people to stop their excessive engagement in gambling. Most of them hide these activities from their parents, and it's getting out of hand, even in the recent world economy, parents hardly spend time with kids. Both parents go to work for long hours, some do shift, to get more money to settle the family bills and take care of the child.

While they're away to work the child may engage in different activities due to boredom. Going out with friends and peers, is their best fun time. So, it'll be a tough thing to change the mindset of most young people to begin to see gambling for it truly is, other than a way of earning money. Online casino has made it very simple for youths to gamble excessively and get addicted in the process. Many youths are lonely and have nothing doing, that's why they spend their stipends or pocket money gambling. However, other youths are getting deeply addicted to video games. Which is about to ruin the social lives of the young people in the society. The electricity lifestyle has pushed the society to a way different level and things are expected to remain the same.
Because currently there are still a lot of parents who don't really understand technology because every era they live in is different from today's times, maybe for today's young parents they understand technology better and understand what online gambling is. There are some parents who limit playing on cell phones and there are also parents who not are too demanding by limiting the use of cellphones because nowadays many of the young generation are strict and don't care about their parents prohibitions. So that as parents they can't do much, they can only monitor their children's activities and hope they don't do anything out of control, which in the end detrimental to their parents.

And parents who are busy working definitely don't pay too much attention to their children because they are too concerned about works to be able to earn money to support their children lives. No matter how busy parents are, taking care of their children is still important. They also need to be cared for so that their future can be organized and if possible, they can avoid gambling which will hinder his future.
In my opinion, those who bear full responsibility are the parents of each young generation. If parents provide education about the bad things about gambling and advise them well, then the younger generation can understand and comprehend these bad thing.

It is the role of parents to be able to teach their children that gambling is entertainment and they should only play it when they grow up, because in their youth now it is better for them to learn many things and explore things that can improve their potential. Parents should teach their children the basic knowledge they need so that they think twice before gambling.
And not only parents, here the government's role is also important to regulate that casinos do not market their products to underage children and prevent them from absorbing underage users onto their platforms. So with cooperation from the government, casinos and parents, it is hoped that the number of young people who gamble prematurely can be reduced.
As a parent then it would really be that our responsible on raising our children on the right path.Although gambling isnt really that a bad thing but we are really that doing our very best on trying out to avoid into those things on which we dont really like to happen specially if we do speak about gambling addiction or too much spending money or fund through it., We do know that once addiction would kick in then it would really be that hard to get out. This is why we would really be doing our best on trying out to avoid them on things which it could really affect their overall life situations on which we know that we cant really be forever on their sides.
No parent doesnt really wants nor likes for their children would really be suffering on such addiction due to mishandling or not be able to give out awareness or let them learn or know about it.

Sometimes we cant really be able to monitor everything and this is why we would really be experiencing out those kind of problems because our children cant really be able to avoid
into engaging into those things due to curiosity on which this is really that the real challenge for most parents.

I am pretty sure that younger generation having the social media and technology right under their hands is the biggest problem. They keep seeing gambling and how easy it is for them to gamble. When I was growing up, gambling online was a possibility when I was a kid, but it wasn2t this easy, it was still possible but required so many things, which ended up with me not having easy time gambling, I tried a bit when I was younger, but it took me a while.

On the other hand, when we are talking about my fathers time, they weren't even capable of gambling even if they wanted to, maybe illegal friendly local tavern games, which they did hiding from the cops, but it wasn't allowed and was totally illegal, so not many did. Hence, younger generation is doing it more, because it is a lot more easier for them.

The level at which, underage gambling is growing lately have give us alot of reasons to ve concern of what the future holds for the young generations, most times, the elderly people have tried to advise them against such early addictions to gambling and how the resultant effects can affect the future growth, but the young lads believe that its fun for them and making money is now the top of their desire which have fueled they quest and desperation in they pursuit.
In my vicinity,  kids are not only addicted to gambling alone but to other substances that fuel their desire to see after fun all the time, but you can hardly see that with the older people and for that, kids become the most affected in suce outcome and this really saddens many of us.
The reason for increasing the tendency of gambling among the youth is that the youth of the current generation likes to live a very lazy life, due to which gambling becomes their favorite place. Although many of them are told how bad gambling is, these advices fail to motivate them. At the same time, the amount of gambling among the youth is increasing day by day and it is not possible to curb it in any way. And gambling sites are representing themselves in such a way that young people are bound to be attracted

The young generation always looks for something to entertain themselves more due to the lack of doing something useful, very few except those who are interested in studying, I have seen that the majority just want to be influencers, that money rains down on them without much effort and this It's something that doesn't seem to me, it's fine if they can get money however they want , but the world also needs many people who are focused, who are Professionals who don't get carried away with parties , alcohol and everything that has to do with things. easy things.

The new generations may have some investment with casinos, because they risk money, they know that in a casino they can win a lot if they have many bets with high amounts of money , and that is something that everyone can see, I am not convinced with that, because That can bring many more cases of addiction, a lot of depression and that is partly not good, in the hands of whom are we going to be left in a few years? person who has many problems and who are not able to control themselves.

The most dangerous thing is underage gamblers, only the role of parents and those closest to them can stop them, but this is very difficult to overcome because of the easy access to open casino sites, especially nowadays, the average small child can hold their smartphone very easily. to access whatever they want, so be careful with your child, always supervise him closely
For a fact that gambling comes with alot of pressure it becomes evil for underage kids since they can't control they emotions at that age, for one to attempt to gamble you need to be 18+ because at that age at least you should be able to handle risk and being able to make your own money to gamble with, this is very important because if you as perants introduced gambling to your kids at younger age than 17 down, it may be very dangerous for them.

This is why we need to do everything with discretion and privacy watching what we do in the presence of our kids, because it will have direct influence on them and in the future it may become a problem for both us and the society at large.
