Topic: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? - page 11. (Read 1765 times)

I think that if these people saw their children gambling in this place, they would quickly change the rules. It is not for nothing that children around the world are not allowed to gamble, because they cannot yet make competent decisions and cannot be held responsible for their actions. I don’t know in which country this is happening, but I think that this is not normal and it will not lead to anything good. Here a lot depends on the laws of that country and what these laws say about the participation of children in gambling, if the country allows it, then it will be difficult to prohibit it.
It’s hard to look at adults who have problems with gambling addiction, what can we say about children?! This is the highest degree of immorality.

  I dont think kids should be exposed to some certain things at some age, and gambling is one of them, if a kid get addicted at a very tender age, you could imagine what that kids could become if when they turn adults and start making their own money, a lot of people have mentioned that gambling could exposed kids to steal and I agree with that also since they do not have a source of income to fund themselves.

 They could start taking money without their parents concept to fund gambling, most of them would think it's a sure way of making money and before you know it they've become addicted to it. But I think parents need to caution their kids, let them know the consequences of involving themselves into it, let them know how risky it is an how bad it could affect their education, let them know it is against the law for them to gamble at a certain age.

It depends on how old they are, usually people under the age of 18 are restricted from gambling but that depends on the country they come from.

Gambling is an activity that is taken as a bad habit just like drinking alcohol or smoking, they could be fun but they got a lot of negative sides. Just like it is forbidden for kids to encounter these bad habits, I think that it is also bad for younger ones to participate in gambling because when someone is in a younger age they could behave irresponsibility and impulsively which makes them take stupid decisions.
Gambling is an activity where the gambler should consider a lot of decisions and rules before doing it, that is why it is better for a mature person to do it.
Maybe if those young ones are more mature than their age, they could make some good money out of it and use it wisely.

Its a major issue for our children. I've seen the industry's good and terrible, and this is bad. Kids gambling? Thats disastrous. They cant tolerate that risk since their brains are still developing. It ruins their schooling and future

Watching teens gamble in school uniforms? Thats poor regulations and an indication of our directionlessness. We need strict child protection laws. Period. Any parent knows you want your kids to create a future, not gamble away. Just simple sense. Set the next generation up to win, not lose. Teachers, parents, we must collaborate. I know gambling is fun for some, but our kids? A firm no

When we were high school students we were not allowed to enter the Internet Cafe while the class still going on no matter what suits we were wearing despite such restrictions, we still found a way to play because of our addictions. Put that in those kids' situation while they don't have anybody to prevent them from playing while they still wearing their uniforms, it's like a playground for them and nothing can change them with that kind of scenario and the worst part is, the next time you see them, they're not gonna be just two of them rather they bring a whole bunch of student who are gambling addict too hype their bad habits.

for me the Accurate age should be from 18, cause by 18 we all know what's bad and good and knowledgeable at this age.

I am never in favor that young people to gamble.The restriction in physical casinos should be clear,not allowed to gamble unless 21 of age because when you are young you don't have a clear idea or a clear vision of what to do in your life.When you are over 21 you are still young but you are a bit more grown up,more smart and now most likely your ideas are more clear also and that is why I am always in favor of such restriction.

Well the idea is quite reasonable, finding a place that can give them money for nothing with little effort is a disease, if for example it is obtained because they have expertise or skills such as painting, editing or something else then maybe it will not be a problem, but if we talk about gambling then obviously it is best not to approach gambling at all, because putting hope in winning in gambling will only lead them to many disasters in their lives and we can see that there are already quite a lot of gamblers who have experienced downturns due to putting their hopes of "earning" in a place that has absolutely no certainty and any guarantee to always be able to get a win. But on the other hand, to be honest, it is very difficult to tell people who are tempted by something that looks tempting, especially if they are typical stubborn people who will be very difficult to advise.

I was deeply troubled when I witnessed two teenagers gambling while wearing their school uniforms. This unfortunate scene revealed the darker side of adolescent behavior and the risks that some young people take. Though they looked clean-cut and studious in their uniforms, these students were engaging in a forbidden activity that could endanger their futures.  Their eyes were locked intensely on the cards and money. I wondered if this was their first time dabbling in gambling or if they had already developed an unhealthy addiction. With the right community support, they should stop this and engage in wholesome activities, work hard in class, and build bright futures for themselves.

Young people shouldn't touch betting because when they see a way to earn money with minimal effort, they will not focus study and socialize, but they will focus to spend all of their time just for gambling. They think if they have spend all of their time and effort for gambling, they will become a professional gambler and will high likely to earn. But, the reality most gamblers are in loss.

I don’t consider this as a form of addiction but rather just a curiosity to explore gambling at young age. Addiction is different from being curious to try things until you make it a hobby.


This is the tricky part. At age like the subject on OP which most of the bettors think of them as good to bet means there’s no way to control all of their movement especially on gambling since you can’t monitor them 100% when they are at school.

Limiting their money allowances is the best way to control this behavior because they can’t gamble if they have money to play.

This isn't a good example to younger generation engaging themselves with gambling, but we can't blame them if they saw their parents also doing that kind of thing. The upbringing of their parents also reflects towards them, then it's basically what's happening to these younger ones.
Same at my local community young people got influenced from seeking lucky wins from ongline gambling apps that they easily got from playstore, ads is one of the reasons why they're attracted with.

If a child is addicted to gambling at a young age, that child's life can never be good. So we should prevent young children from gambling and if we do not discipline our children properly, our children's lives will be affected.  We have to go through life through many hardships. We know that gambling is very bad and then we are busy for gambling. But if we can take gambling as a reward, it is good for us.

Just 2 students and you can make a conclusion that younger take gambling more seriously than their education?
That's just a small example if you ask me and it does not represent the actual fact about young people globally.

The betting shop should have a regulation and they should not allow young students to enter and play.
In this case, there are some parties to be blamed:
1. The betting shop because of allowing young students to enter and gamble
2. The students because they should not do it ofc
3. The parents of the students because they do not monitor their children better.

In reality, parents won't be able to supervise or even guide their children all day long because they certainly have their own activities. but what you say is true, when parents succeed in educating their children in the home environment, I think they can control themselves, meaning they may be able to refuse invitations that are not good, such as by not being influenced by things that lead to bad things that could be detrimental to themselves, but they can't It is also hidden that children certainly have unstable characteristics and thoughts, so even if their parents' upbringing or their parents' approach is successful, there is still a possibility that the child could be influenced by the surrounding environment.

and when they finish school or graduate, they begin to be able to determine their own relationships, and this is where their parents' upbringing will determine them. If parents give them poor attention and upbringing, there is a possibility that they could be influenced by relationships that could be detrimental to them. Currently, many young people are already familiar with gambling even though they have just graduated from school, but that does not guarantee that they will be safe. Of course, the influence of the social environment around them can determine them themselves.

underage people, for whatever reason, are not allowed to gamble, especially when they gamble in a gambling shop wearing their school clothes, the gambling shop should try to prohibit this and not allow them to gamble.  because at their age they should not gamble and be exposed to places like that.  i don't know why the owner of the gambling place allows children to gamble at their place, is he so mindless that he ignores morals and allows children to gamble at his place, and that's just quite sad.

thanks for this, cause we the elderly ones seeing the younger ones going the wrong way it's bad. Even if I'm not their parents but I'm also considering cause they're kids trying to grow and thay aren't going the right at the moment. Thanks

but since I don't know their parents but I know the owner of the betting shop, I think he'll still help out a little. If someone sees your kids gambling with their school uniforms on them. And they report to you, would you be happy?

I'm not making them my problem, why can't we see what's wrong and say it. We won't die if we speak the truth.

Even though it is prohibited they will still play in online casinos, so in my opinion every betting shop may have a certain age limit for gambling there, in my country there are no betting shops like that because they are considered illegal, so I can't give much comment in this regard. This is the case, but talking about young people who play gambling, of course I also won't agree because our children could do the same thing, but it also depends on how parents educate their children. If they educate them properly, I'm sure they will stay away from gambling.

There are many types of gambling games that can be played by young people, so even though they are prohibited there, they will definitely play in online casinos or online gambling. I often see school children playing slot gambling around my house, but it seems their parents never know that their children gambling, that's what's wrong that every parent is responsible for their children, therefore if we see young people gambling and we see it, we actually don't have the right to forbid it because that won't stop them, unless the parents themselves advise it, that would be better, you can tell his parents about his son gambling at the betting shop.
