This is the sunk cost fallacy at its finest, people think that because bitcoin has grown so much already that it is too late to do anything about it, but the same thought crossed the minds of people before the 2017 and 2021 bull run and we know what happened, it is never too late to do something, so if a person has fallen victim of any addiction then they need to do what they can to overcome it as soon as possible, as even if they have been addicted for years they can still recover and live a normal life.

But a normal age for the game is 18 years old, but we have many advantages, because in online casinos, there is the demo game mode, and that is a mode that is very disliked by other players, no one likes to touch the mode demo, no one likes to talk about demo, if I am a person who spends a lot of money, who wants to multiply the money I have, I must first know what I am going to get myself into, obviously this includes doing things first Regarding the fact that the casino has and will always have the advantage, this will not make them lose in the long term, we as players must understand that we are not going to embezzle a casino, much less are we going to leave it bankrupt, I think there is no Many whale players, and those who are whale players, take care of each dollar as if it were a great treasure, so this is what we must detail very well, that we cannot put our money so lightly, because at least to me It is very difficult to earn my money, I must work hard, and obviously I have to do things to be able to earn it honestly, one is time, invest time in doing it well, doing it with love, because working without passion or love, for that reason nothing is done, or You are simply unhappy with the job you have, I don't recommend working on something you don't like, just for the money, the epna is not worth it, because you will be miserable at that time, so when we talk about casinos and we want to maintain a good performance we must take the demo mode.

Now, at the moment we do other things, for example explore the demo mode very well, master the game, there you can win with real money, because you already know how to handle the game well, you know it's difficult It's easy to have good profits and everything should be done with great moderation because that's how the game is, it should not be done in a crazy way, but with great moderation, why? Because it is money that we are risking, this is something that we must take into consideration for everything.

Perhaps it is too late for them, but they must be able to convince themselves that even though it is late, they still have time to cure themselves of gambling addiction. And by wanting to recover, they will try to find a way and do it well. They may need help from other people to do the things necessary to heal themselves from gambling addiction because they need other people to accompany them during the healing process. And even if young people are addicted to gambling, they can be cured, especially if their parents accompany them. The presence of their parents in the healing process really gives meaning to their children because they will see that they still have support from their parents, so they will be enthusiastic about going through every process of healing their gambling addiction.

This is a form of convenience that everyone can access gambling sites anywhere and anytime so it is not easy for us to put pressure on those who are still children not to engage in gambling activities.
The existence of so many conveniences has a big influence on the possibility of an increase in the percentage of gamblers who are still underage and this is really worrying.
Several efforts have been made to suppress and minimize the number of underage gamblers but all have been in vain and none have succeeded.

As parents of course we can easily give advice or education to our children so that they don't fall into gambling but the problem is that when they are outside the house we cannot monitor what they do.
It is better to limit cell phone use to our children and always check what they are doing with the cell phone.

Being responsible is a decision; being addicted is a decision that is born of our ignorance; and stopping gambling is also a decision. Some people don't just feel it is necessary to stop because they feel it's already too late to stop, like they have wasted time at it and also enjoying it, and why do they need to stop? From an early age, it could be easy to control for some people, but not all. Everybody responds differently to their decision. Some people cannot be controlled while they are young, but as they grow and are faced with self-responsibility (just like you said), they want to make money and look good first or acquire more education, and then their attention could totally deviate from settling too much on gambling and other things. I no longer agree with some of what you said.

The holy book, which is the Bible says that we should train up, bring up a child in the way that he or she should go, and he or she will never depart from it, a child that is difficult for the parents to control proves one thing, and that is the fact that, such child was over pampered when he or she was in his or her tender age.

When we over pamper children, they Will surely grow up to become or cause us headache, there is an adage that says that, "you surely will end up crying for a son or daughter whom you never loved to see cry when he or she was a kid", it means that, if we do not start training our children when they are little/baby, you will have a hard time training them when they enter teenage level.

Gambling should be kept away from teenagers until they are atleast, 18 and above, and this is if the teenager is no longer a student.

True, and there are many factors that influence or cause their mindset to be wrong. The first could be that they come from financially insufficient or can be said to be poor people and when they know about gambling with all the big wins that are there, they then think that this seems like a solution to improve their finances, the second could be that it is because of their innate personality, for example they have a greedy nature and when they enter gambling obviously whatever they get it will always not be enough for them, even though they have won several times the capital they bring, and in the end well maybe you know the first and second points above end up with a downturn, and always like that.

Well that's right guys, there they are like creating dreams and fantasies and they also stupidly think that it will happen soon, even though it is clear - obviously it comes out of their minds and lusts that are just imagining. If you don't understand and believe that there are no promising wins in casinos then I say your mind is healthy, obviously maybe we also already know that gambling only depends on luck so of course what you say is true, having a goal to change lives relying on winnings from gambling is just nonsense.

Every parent will have a way to teach their children so that they can understand how to face a tough life. No parent wants to see their children suffer in living their lives. Therefore, every parent will guide their children to live well. And I think that's a lesson that you give your children so they can know they have to learn to survive. And if you allow your children to gamble, you also have to teach them about self-control because we already know the impact that can be experienced by gamblers who cannot control themselves. And I think they can have good self-control because you guide them so they won't experience gambling addiction when they grow up.

Even though online gambling sites may have rules/verification for children, it seems they can get through it easily because they can find solutions based on what they learn. We might find it difficult to understand how they can do it but not them because they can use it with their abilities. Today's children can find solutions if they encounter difficulties and will look for them from many sources so that they can solve the problem well. But still, we as parents must continue to guide them well so that they don't go down the wrong path, which could have a big impact on their lives later. And with our guidance, they can grow and understand what is good and bad for their lives so that they will always be careful in their actions.

Children have their own desires but parents can still direct them to do good things so they don't go wrong. If parents can provide good teaching, their children can get through their times well too so parents don't need to worry if their children will choose the wrong path. Moreover, if parents are always by their side and give their children useful advice, they will feel that they are not alone in living their days. They need this because they often feel alone without anyone paying attention to them, so if parents can do this, their children will not feel alone.

It is difficult to prevent their children from using mobile phones, but parents can set clear boundaries so they will not use it for things that could harm them later. With the right guidance, their children will be able to use their cell phones well and not choose the wrong path.

Every parent strives to educate and nurture their children. They try to make their children grow up well. But sometimes parents cannot control their children despite their best efforts. They can control their children the way they do when they are young but not all parents can control their children when they grow up and when they become of common sense.

Mobile devices are now a very general needs. It is very difficult to prevent children from this. If they learn to use a mobile device, they will never be able to live without it. Once they learn about betting, it will be difficult to turn them away.

It is not necessarily about your kids only. In your case it might work out, but I can tell you that I know kids who have burnt their fingers on the stovetop regardless of whether they have been told that they shouldn't touch it because it is hot. I know a kid that drank dishwashing liquid. It has been told it shouldn't, but half a minute of less attention was enough for the kid to grab a bottle of dishwashing liquid and try it out. It also depends on the age, and while very small kids put everything in their mouth, older kids or teenagers tend to underestimate consequences. It is very typical. Every teenager is told to not drive drunk, and yet many accidents happen with teenagers and young adults under the influence of alcohol. Education is right and I am all for it, but when it comes to things that involve mental control and understanding of consequences, it is more difficult. Gambling is such a thing and alcohol, too. Barely any teenager that gets wasted every weekend would tell you that they have an alcohol problem. Same would probably go with gambling.

For me there are no game limit in gambling as we all know that nowadys there are many online casino uwhich is not strict and they can allow many gamblers even though they don't know yet the exact age of thier player. But there's a site who ask  a KYC which is pretty sure if that they are doing a good thing as we all know that it will lesseer the minor gambler. But not the the sulution about who to fix the problems I'd the young gambler.

Online casinos do place restrictions on ages according to the requirements of any countries where in they are situated but sadly some underage person do forge their age even their KYC document to be able to gain access to the sites so as to be able to play various games, win and make money for them selves, it's sad that you really can't asertain on a 100% who is telling the truth or not as online deals mostly with virtual activities.

In my country where I reside the legal minimum age permitted to gamble is between 18-21 but I think that of the united states' is similar to this and it stands to be very much recommended as people who fall within this age limit can to a great extent make decisions for themselves under every good circumstances. This can help curb some irregularities that may be caused by gambling.

Regardless of the age limit it is most advisable to not get to the point of addiction while gambling as this may cost you a lot even if you have attained the age, when you incure so much losses from gambling it may have some psychological effects such as depression on the the victim. In all you do gamble responsible, an advise usually seen on almost every casino site.

The kids btw are more addicted to gambling than adults. But they have their own kind of gambling. They make bets or better say argue who is stronger, faster, who makes more , who has more and etc. Their addiction is different. Their gambling addiction does not involve money, but have their own values, like "a wish", or something video game related (in-game gold for example).

Btw, we all discuss how 18 years is not enough for gambling, also mention that trading at that age is not good either. But are you familiar that kids <18 yo trade on platforms like steam? Like 10-12 kid buy and sell cs:go skins. And later withdraw money to his card or paypal. So dont you think we sometimes overreact about kids, gambling apps and gambling age?

That is the best approach,  because by explaining to your kids on the danger of those activities,  it place them in a better position to be able to protect themselves when they are faced with that challenges of deciding whether to gamble or not or do any other act that may have high negative risk on they total well being,  and this is why at most cases even if a person have passed the 🔞 year set by government,  it still need to add some extra year's,  and most importantly is better for an adult to start gambling that someone in they 20s or early 30s.

And the only time you can teach your kids all that is when they are young and still growing up,  and that is why there is a higher need for early education in the home and both parents are responsible for training the child and giving them all the necessary support most especially in area that are seen as red light such as gambling.

In fact, gambling can not only be accessed from a computer but can also be accessed using a cellphone connected to the internet. Moreover, without having to access gambling, we often see games on cellphones that contain gambling, even though they are just simulations or demo games, that is what ultimately drives the desire. Children are familiar with gambling which is sometimes difficult to prevent them by prohibiting them from accessing the internet.

I prefer to explain to my children about the dangers of gambling addiction and introduce them that gambling is not good so don't ever try gambling with friends or anyone on the internet, because it's best to play with anything on the internet as long as you never use it for gambling, however Our children cannot be banned because it will make them curious and try it. So it's enough to explain the consequences and risks of gambling so that they stay away from it. 

Aren't there also children who are seriously addicted to games? Maybe you introduce gambling as a fun game for now. but I hope you also tell them the risks and responsibilities when they play with their own money in the future.
I think introducing or learning about gambling on their own is not the problem of why they end up addicted to gambling at a young age. but maybe if the game is supervised by parents it will be better than them playing alone without any control.
they might force us to make another deposit when their balance runs out but they still want to play. that's how kids are.

The gambling should be considered as the game and shared to the children,because if they learn themselves.It May leads to the addiction of gambling.I had an habit of teaching my children each day one game.So they learned the gambling in my family itself.So the possibilities of getting into the gambling addictions was low.This habit will save my children from the gambling addiction itself enough for me.By the initial practice of gambling,my children know the value of money.They only do the control of money deposit to the website.

I would use observe and guide instead of control. If I fully control life of my kid, I doubt that something valuable will be learned. 100% sure there would no "own experience" behind all that. My vision is that kids must get their own bumps and bruises in life, instead of parents putting pillows everywhere. As to phone - be my guest to play games, but before that homework must be done and have good grades. And I would be very happy is something new would be learned during that gaming session. My kid knows what is money and how hard they came. Knows how easy it is to spend and lose them. Even though the kid is in first grade only, I wont be banning gambling sites and app. Wants to gamble - feel free to do it. Just first needs to be smart enough to register and make a deposit. If the kid looses all the money in first bet - I wont give more money. Either earn it or wait for BDays or Xmas Bumps and bruises

There must be parental supervision so that their children can be controlled in using their phones and so that they do not exceed limits that can make their lives difficult. We have seen the impact on young people who do not use their phones properly, where they instead use them to play games. It just wastes their time when they could use their time to study or for other things. The absence or lack of parental supervision can make their children access inappropriate things and if they visit casino sites accidentally, they can start gambling without their parents knowing. And when the parents find out, it may be too late because the child is already addicted to gambling.
