Topic: Increased Gambling Risk for the Younger Generation - page 6. (Read 935 times)

I agree that it starts from the house and school but that's not an easy thing to do now. I bet there will be 1 or 2 who will listen to authorities out of 50 or 100 students because the influence they get all over the internet is just too strong. Kids normally understand that it's not a good idea to risk money but they are also at a stage where doing something like gambling or drinking is "cool".

This is the effect of emerging technology to young generation since everything is easy to access for them plus there are a lot of gambling advertisement popping up and also this is well advertise by majority of social media personality. And this people promote to much and tell a lie that they can easily earn with the casino they promote that's the reason why there are people want to try what they are talking about then see if they can really earn. Some young guys got interested to participate since they think its so fun to play on those casino and ride with those influencers they promote.



Parents need to step up on this issue and properly guide their children towards this activities so that they will not fall into addiction and they can save their children for more heavier complication brought by gambling addiction.

I myself am a teacher, and encountered cases like this. In fact, gambling has entered the younger generation because it is very easy to access online gambling sites. The teacher's role is indeed important, but it is only limited to reminding and providing insight into what gambling is like. The role of parents is the most important. because every day children must be with their parents and will be more obedient if they are told by their parents themselves.

One way to prevent young people from gambling activities is to limit access to deposits. for example, not using banking or electronic money.

Yes, it's true, especially since I often see underage children playing slot gambling where I live, I still think about how they can finance their gambling and what their motivation is for playing slot gambling, even though they should focus on studying at school and even get money from their parents. It made me think about what parents feel when they see their children gambling using the money they gave them or their children stealing money to gamble. it must have disappointed his parents indirectly.

The easy access that is currently available everywhere makes gambling increasingly difficult to stop, especially since there is so much online gambling every day and internet access is getting easier, gambling authorities should seriously prohibit children under the age or younger generation from gambling, I still wonder why children Underage people are free to gamble and is there no KYC process on the site which means they cannot complete it properly to stop gambling?

The younger generation does not understand that the risks they experience are not only about losing money but also the future that should be bright for them but becomes bleak just because they gamble. Again, the role of parents is very important for today's young generation because if you only rely on the government and the awareness of gambling site owners, it looks difficult.

I have seen around me, where there are several cases of young people who are addicted to online gambling, there are many things that have been done by their parents and also guidance from teachers, to the level of specialists involved, but the facts in the field of risk cannot be controlled, they still have risks in the gambling arena.

We have seen the facts on the ground, most of the young people who gamble do not pay attention to all the risks, most of them often hide it from those closest to them, especially when parents are caught in a new case, they are aware of the risks they face. For me, if they are young people, they are aware of the dangers and risks of gambling, there are no other people's stories to advise them, they themselves must have awareness of the risks of gambling.

I realize that nowadays many younger generations are involved in online gambling which is easier in accessibility of casinos they like and even simpler which is not so complicated if you want to play in online casinos.

There are many impacts where they lose money, I think it's normal more they certainly don't want to be a productive person, don't want to work, have no other activities other than gambling because they only hope for luck if they want their money to come again, actually this has been a lot and separated from their parents because they don't care or they don't know their children often play in online casinos.

Now there are still many parents who still don't understand about technology now so only the children know, where when the child is involved in gambling the parents are just silent because they don't know anything, maybe they don't know there are online casinos.

I don't think the younger generation can feel entertain while gambling, mostly they're interested with porn and online games.

No, that's not the effective way, parents and teachers are not enough to solve this issue, we should pay attention with the friends. Friends sometime can give a big influence because both parents and teachers are often angry when they feel the kids do something that they don't want.

That's why strict parents and teachers aren't good solutions.

It's not only that, it's also a LOT easier to influence them. With the era of social media, even if parents wanted to, they can't exactly control their kid from doing what they want unless they rule with a hard iron fist, which most families don't. This leads to some of the younger gen to stray away from, well, what is common sense when it comes to growing up back in the day. At this point, they'd go all in for risks and whatnot not because they understand what they're doing but because they "watched" someone do it and get some fame and success lol.

I hardly think teachers and parents alike can do something if they really get swayed away. Most kids crave for something "new" after all.

I think this topic has been a topic of discussion on several occasions.and indeed, it's a good idea for parents to educate their children about gambling. However, not all parents may feel comfortable with this, as many are overprotective. Today's children are eager learners, quick, smart, and easily exposed. The main reason kids may get into gambling is often due to the influence of their peer groups. Your child's friends can entice them into gambling without your knowledge, promoting the supposed benefits.

Unknown to these kids, they are jeopardizing their future and studies. Engaging in gambling at a young age often leads to early addiction and irresponsible behavior once they start receiving small rewards. In some countries, the majority of gamblers today are from the younger generation. As a parent, it's crucial to be aware of your children's activities and guide them to prevent them from going astray.

Good post op. The risk has definitely increased for the younger generation as you mentioned, but there are more ways to minimise it too these days which is the silver lining.

I guess you haven't heard of the articles where it was reported that some kids stole their parents credit cards and gambled away their funds causing them huge losses. This is why it's important to secure debit and credit cards properly.

I agree that online gambling is more accessible than ever, but who is going to give the teenagers money, in order for them to start gambling?
Do you know any parents, who will give their children money to gamble? I definitely don't know such parents.
Do you think that the kids/teenagers will find ways to earn money, so they could start betting in the casino?
I think that gaming is a bigger problem for the kids than gambling. Some kids/teenagers are addicted to playing video games and this problem can be as bad as a gambling addiction.

You can never tell if your children will secretly develop interest in gambling, and don't wait till you caught them in the act because it might already be too late, you are to lecture them about gambling and those who will move away will do it, and the ones that will believe that they can make something good from gambling will believe.

You don't have to become harsh and try to force them to look away, some people are born stubborn, they will still do it at your back and believe me this will make you a bad parent later, and next time when they have something in mind to share with their parents they won't be able to, because you sucks at been a parent.

Instead, be a good guidance, make sure your kids have no problem opening up to you, this will make them to always get you involve in whatever they plan to do, teach them how to be a good gambler if they are so into gambling, tell them your own past experience with gamblers around you or in your friends group, sometimes, sharing experience is enough for some kids to make decisions or making up their minds.

I would put emphasis on physical activity and following their passion to be the things that can counter any sort of addiction - because the primary objective of any addiction is to avoid that daily routine and free one's self. For that the gateway for many are drugs and for some it is gambling.

So if people make sure to be active physically at least one per day and educate themselves to be what they want to be, a lot of problems can be solved right there. Unfortunately we created the problem ourselves by removing playgrounds and parks and creating a system of jobs that dont match people's skills. The core reason for that is the increasing population in our developing countries.

Still this problem existed since a long time, its not new and from a personal standpoint it can be prevented.

I have some reservations here. If the ID is required to enter in a physical casino, the MONEY is required to gamble online. Even if the teens are  able to create the account, bypass the KYC process by gambling at non-KYC casinos but who gives them money to gamble ? For sure the parents are funding them with this money that they are using to gamble.
If a child is consistently asking for money and we, as a parent, do not see where that money is going then probably it's time to look at the teen's activity. I still think that many teenagers are using their parents' KYC verified accounts and parents' money to gamble and the parents know about this.

clearly gambling will be a higher risk for the younger generation. because gambling is an addiction if you can't control someone who is still easy to leave everything, be it school or education, just for gambling and can commit crimes, for example, stealing so you can continue to gamble. actually not only young people of all ages can be addicted to gambling. let alone online gambling, where no one else knows what they are doing.

For some countries where gambling is legal, it will clearly become easier, not only in physical casinos, but online casinos will also be easier to access.
But in physical casinos, it is clear that there will be an age limit for the teenage generation young people will not be allowed to enter.
But all this is the opposite for online casinos and of course there is no age limit for regulations that customers must obey, if it is based on KYC then young people will use their parents identities to complete KYC.
There is nothing that can really limit and also reduce the risks of gambling for the younger generation, they will still have the freedom to decide what they choose and as long as there are many ways that make it easier, they can continue to gamble with lot of convenience.

The role of parents and teachers is very important in handling cases like this, they are closer to young people and they can continue to monitor, advise and also direct them towards better path.

Due to the development of the world, people have benefited as well as disadvantage. Earlier, as there was no online gambling, people physically participated in gambling very little, but nowadays, with the establishment of online casino platforms, young and old people are participating here. But they need to be more vigilant to steer young women away from casino platforms. If they can be kept under more surveillance, they may be able to stay away from online casinos. After that, children should be prevented from using mobile phones.  Gambling can be avoided if children can be kept away from mobile phones.

That's right, I see nowadays even many young people who know also even some of them are addicted to online gambling with their inability to leave that activity, and they tend when they have a limited amount of money to force to gamble online. As you said, with them like this it is clear that they get problems such as lack of physical activity such as exercise, also they tend to become lazy to do things that lead to health.

I think that even though they have grown up, it doesn't mean that parents let go of their supervision, it still applies even though they are adults, and the advice you said makes sense. And after that they also have to be aware of gambling things that can make them addicted to gambling which leads to the destruction of their lives. And also with those who are still young, they should be able to take advantage of the opportunities in their youth with good things, also by working to prepare for their own future. Because obviously their future should be prepared from now on and it also depends on themselves, because if they are addicted to gambling in their youth, of course I think their future will be destroyed.

Instead of controlling, why don't parents guide their children, as it's their responsibility? If the parents guide and supervise their children right and always, then that child will never take an interest in gambling or what they see will be limited by the parents, and if they see things like gambling or anything that they should not see or take an interest in, then the parents should always be there to explain that it should be avoided as it can influence them badly.

Of course, if the children themselves cannot be controlled or have an attitude, then it's a different case; in short, it's a case-by-case basis, but for me, there will be no young gambling addicts if they have been supervised and disciplined correctly. It will never be hard to control the child if they have been disciplined correctly from a young age; discipline is the most effective way of parenting.

The role of parents and teachers clearly cannot be separated from supervising their children because it is very important in monitoring their development. Parents should approach their children more often, ask them to tell stories about their children's activities and try to find out most of them. However, many parents do not implement this method because they are busy working.

The parent handed over supervision to other people in the family environment. Parents should be the ones who need to get closer to their children. Parents need to play their role and provide an understanding of what can and cannot be done. Easy access to search for information from the internet makes teenagers feel free. Teenagers then abuse this until they end up getting into a lot of trouble.

If the internet cannot be used properly, teenagers will fall into the wrong path and vice versa. Teenagers should be able to use this easy internet access to gain a lot of useful knowledge for their future. Hopefully, after the many problems with teenagers, parents can open their eyes to improve their relationship with their children.
