Topic: Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation - page 3. (Read 1013 times)

This is not surprising and not new to me, maybe the way people now gamble here is making feel like dejavu. The rate at which people play sports betting here is alarming and the primary reason is low job opportunities and the available ones are too competitive or low pay check and because of this, the rate at which people gamble has now supercedes the numbers we used to have before. Can you imagine that women now share bet codes to each other as soon as tickets bets code are dropped? It's really scary.

The only way this numbers can be reduce is to make sure that there job for both the young and adult looking men, people don't gamble for fun anymore but for money and if the government want to reduce it, they have to provide job for people. In places where job opportunities aren't the problem, I think restrictions measures should be adopted and also reduce the  number of gambling platforms that is also on the rise.

Did you also notice that there has been increased in gambling platforms? It's a very big concern.

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 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

If the parents are gambling themselves and they advise their children not to gamble, then how will the children take this advice? I think that they will not take it seriously because they have the excuse that if it is a bad thing, why do the parents continue to gamble?

I think the parents need to realize that if they want to put a ban on their children's gambling, they should take the first step themselves and stop gambling themselves. If they can't stop, make sure that they gamble when the children are not around them so that the children do not know that their parents are gambling.

These days teenagers are very sharp and it is not that easy that we ask them to stop gamble and they will immediately obey us. They would give many reasons to gamble and we cannot say anything against their arguments if we gamble ourselves.

For me, child training is something that has to do with time and early capturing of the child, because most of the times, majority of the things that our kids does are learned from the perants and for such alot of them will only copy from the father mother or any of the adults that are around them, this is why we need to handle kids as young as possible because if we failed to handle them it will become difficult to control them when their have already grown up and it could be an impossible thing trying to control them or telling them what is wrong and what is right at the same times teaching them all the fundamentals that they need to grow with as they journey along in real life, this is most important and ket fundamental foundations for parenting.

I don't think it's only happen now, when I was a kid, most of parents are hard workers and they didn't give a big attention to develop their children. Even we're not live on where technology is booming and every parents have cellphone, but we can get introduce to gambling, porn etc by our friends, so it depends on the children whenever they want to follow the friends or not.

Gladly I didn't follow that even I was still young.

Instilling information like this is important for parents in the family or the school environment through learning materials. For countries that prohibit gambling, of course, it is prohibited. but for countries that legalize gambling, of course, we have to understand the limits and risks of gambling itself.
If you are a gambler, don't do gambling activities in front of your children, or when you are with your family. do it yourself and just hope no one finds out.
Young people are very vulnerable to addiction. Moreover, they have limited playing capital. because they have not been able to earn money from work, they must be able to manage their finances first before starting to start gambling.

When a child begins to develop certain habits that are not healthy for him, check his parents first and then the environment he is in. We are now in an era where parents pay little attention to their children. When they neglect these children for too long, these children begin to seek for satisfaction at the odd places and the parents won't get to notice this if they are not friends with their children. They only get to find out when the children begin to suffer in their academics, become socially isolated or begin to steal/take loans just to gamble.  A child who is supposed to be studying  have no business with gambling. Parents need to be up to date with every happenings in the lives of their children so they do not get influenced easily by their environment.

It is better to caution these younger generation now that we still can. If we allow them to grow with the mindset that a little gambling won't harm, they might get lazy to really think of a proper means of earning money, worst still addiction might set in.

There is a part of gambling that fits calling some people lazy people, and sorry to say, this generation is full of them, people who don't want to take the hard part always find gambling to be the best way, they trade their possibility of learning a good skill for gambling and that's why many under graduate ends up becoming gambling addict, like one who don't want to learn any skills and use over nine years to gamble believing that he will get lucky, now things have gotten extremely harder for him.

You don't want to choose gambling as your main road to success, there is ninety-nine percentage chance that you will fail and waste your years away doing nothing, I believe the reason why people get addicted to gambling is lack of understanding, why are people working so hard everyday when they can just gamble and get rich? Why are people working from 8am to 5pm just to have food on their table? If it's easy with gambling everyone would have turned into a gambler.

Gambling is by luck, if it's your bad day you will keep losing money, since you are in the dark and don't know when you will get lucky you need to safe yourself from unwanted losses, that's why it's very important to keep risking what you can afford to lose in the main time till your turn to get lucky will come around.

Thank you for the positive response you gave... What I said is not necessarily true, but from what I have experienced and noticed it is like that, and you also confirmed that gambling is an escape from a problem, just like smoking. Regarding whether it can be changed or not, I am also sure that it can be changed, but it still requires a strong will from each individual. Maybe there are experts who can handle this in their respective areas, we usually call them psychologists, their role can help someone psychologically.

      -   You know you're right about what you said, mate, because sometimes I gamble to forget the problem I'm facing. Because by playing gambling, I get relief and can think properly about this matter. Then, in this time, really, the youth today, even if we keep them away from gambling, will not know and will still know about gambling whether it is online or offline.

Apart from that, you may be right about the young people or younger people you refer to as lacking positivity, but eventually that can also be changed, to be honest.

Obviously... if gambling is played by children who are not yet old enough, then this gambling will be negative for the child's growth and development. because they do not have enough knowledge, experience and good self-control in gambling. And this is really dangerous.

And of course, to be able to start online gambling, we must have at least four things, namely, smartphone, internet package, balance and digital wallet. For smartphones, nowadays almost all children have smartphones, because today's children's lives cannot be separated from smartphones and regarding internet packages, I am quite surprised because today's children cry, not because they want to buy them for them. snacks, but they cried because they wanted to buy an internet package. And related to finances, because they are still part of their parents' responsibilities, so all their needs still depend on their parents, including pocket money. Well... what makes me not understand how those who are still minors and don't have an identity card yet, but they have digital wallets and m-banking which are used as a means to carry out online gambling transactions. how can they do it.?

A child grows according to the life in and outside his society. The training a child gets at home, differs from what the society would teach him. That's why they're complications between parent child relationship, in recent days the teachings don't corollate. In the past, if I may assume, before the invention of electricity and internet, parents still had to battle gambling addiction with their kids. Casinos existed, and if it wasn't there then, people gambled on their own, in different games like football, wrestling, bull fight etc. It may have been the growth of man up to this stage that youths and adults will gamble. These days it has been innovated to suit the recent technology which the world is so fascinated about, the internet. To get the attention of the child, it's mainly about video games, or online videos.

All they want is a device to keep them busily happy. While parents tend to change the life of their ward to focus on books or choose to ask them questions other than google, they need to provide the time between them and their kids. Children want their parents around them, they want to grow close to their parent. But have been denied of such privilege what would the child do when his parents are not at home to teach him. He runs to google for any unanswered question that's bothering him. There he can get some ads pointing to a site he may be too tender to visit. Like gambling. If he had some close relationship, they would voluntarily tell them about the site he's visiting. It rarely happens. Most kids keep it to themselves, trying to make their parents proud with a huge gambling win.

We need to extend our time taking good care of our young folks, they need guidance and we as parents need to be there to enlighten them. There's always a way if we want them to walk on to the right path. The emerging technology can quickly damage their mindset, which we need to be held responsible in working to prevent that damage affecting their future.

Even regardless how busy we are, we should be more careful in planning how we will provide good guidance to our kids, letting them realize what risk are waiting if they are doing things irresponsibly will help to create preventions inside their young minds. Just need to be their, not just to provide basic needs but more to develop their good and responsible attitude towards that kind of life that awaits them.

Sometimes gambling is just an escape from every problem or lack of positive activities that can utilize one's free time. I am sure that teenagers who have positive activities and are busy with their hobbies tend to avoid online gambling activities. I did not conduct a survey regarding this matter, but what I observed in my environment is indeed like that in reality, plus the influence of the environment we are in, if the people around us do not have online gambling activities then 80 percent of children and local residents will not even know about online gambling. . However, if it were the other way around, then 80 percent of local residents and children would know and play gambling online and offline. Friends and relatives have a huge influence on our habits.

Even if the parents will step and remind their children or teens not to gamble, if they're around they are not sure what their children are doing. And that's why many we see that are into gambling even at a young age. It's easier this time and it's true that it's more accessible because of how easy to obtain a smartphone, and download some gambling app and that's it.

They don't even mind if the gambler is a minor or not yet appropriate age for gambling. What matters to them is they've got another customer ready to gamble and deposit to their casino. While we don't like to take KYC, them, they're taking advantage of it because these kids won't even have the identity to place to prove that they're at the right age to gamble.

And this is a fact that the rapid growth of online casinos, with the ease and accessibility of modern technology through smartphones. Having a problem like this seems to be the norm nowadays.

Due to technology today on which this particular aspect would really be that normal or really just that there would really be missed handling of our children as a parent on which i could really tell this basing up on real experience on which there's no way that you could really be able to monitor every single move and actions made out by our children on which it would really be just that right that you should really know on what are your responsibilities on how to handle them up. Dont make yourself that easily give up because its part of us as a parent.
Anything could really be that destructive if we wont really be that careful when it comes to those possible things that could affect out on the way.

Nowadays it is easy to limit their using of each sites because we can control or  set limits in their accessibilities   and also Guidance as what you said is important because sometimes it only reflects to how we treat our children and what they are seeing in life , that will give them hints and attitudes towards matter.
better to let them realized the importance of life in different perspectives , not because we don't want them to learn gambling but also to make them understand the world in the future.

I agree with the article you provided, ease of access and curiosity which is the nature of the youth are the two of the main elements that can make youth lose itself from gambling, the youth loves to venture because we are in a fast paced and extravagant generation where money is always involved in our every move.
The youth are in a hurry to make money and the gambling casino are just one of the venue that they can explore to get fast money they fancy the gambling platform as a place where they can reach their dream of making a lot of money.

If the youth is not properly guided he will be at loss when faced with a situation where he can make money from gambling, its not only the parents and teachers its also the concern of the government.
The youth is the hope of the nation, we cannot maximize the potential of the youth if he is too involved in gambling.

It's always about the parents because they need to educate and support their children with good education both at home and outside. They need to teach them good manners and to preserve that, they need to make sure that they are going out with good companies when they'e not home.

Obviously, some other people will think this is easy but sometimes when you just slip a little bit by letting them go with some strange kids, they cannot forget what they have just experienced and probably will keep the curiosity in their mind for a long time, unless you are a responsible parent and will never slack to teach them everything they need in their lives.

some people in our community when they were young, used to be addicted to local gambling games but when their parents took action, they forgot all of that and did not pay any single attention to their addictions anymore.
