Gambling in front of the kids is not a good idea, i wont advise for such, if you're going to gamble, then know it that it will be your own decision alone and influencing the children about it will make no any sense at all, moreover, children are not to start gambling at their tender age except they have been independent and no more called children, some of the things we do, they see, and instead of us to set a model for them to follow, they may only see the other asper in us which is a wring impression.
Today's children will be the builders of tomorrow's future, so we as guardians should never spoil the children's future. The education that a child receives from us today will spread that child to everyone in the future. Especially if children learn about gambling from us now, surely these children will spread education about gambling to their children in the future. If we participate in gambling in front of children then children will be attracted to gambling out of curiosity and in this case children will automatically get addicted to gambling due to imitation. Therefore, to ensure the future of children, we as guardians must never do forbidden things in front of them and always pay close attention to them so that their future is not ruined.

Such things are sometimes unavoidable because it is indeed a necessity to survive in life and to support the needs of the small family that we have but indeed on the other hand in this case of course we also still have to continue to take the time to at least save our children from the negative effects of the Internet. Even if we can't monitor for 24 hours but in the end there must be one or 2 days off at work where it can be used to create closeness with children and tell them what is good and what is bad. If that can't happen, we can still limit and monitor what our children do when surfing the internet.
The problem of gambling is sometimes very difficult to prevent including for a child but indeed this is still limited because in the end if they are adults and determine what they want with responsibility then it is welcome if they really want to do gambling even though but for children who are still not time to do it then it would be better if they continue to be limited and do not fall into something like this.

When they are already in the right age, the only thing that you can do is provide the guidance that still possible for them to hear, but the control is no longer in your power, unlike when they are still a kid where you can guide and guard them to direct them to the right direction, just like what you mentioned, if you can have that time to continue patronizing them and knowing whatever that they are doing you can avoid them taking the path in their early age, while if they already old enough then it's them who can decide to whatever they wanted to become that's not limited if they are into gambling.
As for when they are older, they already know what they are doing must have an impact on themselves so they must already have much better thoughts regardless of whether we give advice is still very necessary but the choice is ultimately in the hands of our children because they already understand enough and can decide for themselves what they want to do later.
This does not mean that we are freeing our children to gamble but when it is their choice then indeed we as parents only have to give the best advice that in the end gambling must be done responsibly because emphasizing that children do not gamble but we as parents still do that I think it actually makes children not listen to what we say.
and letting them realize on what are the cons and dangers about gambling at early stage so that they would really be instilling out those information and would be able to think up forever on what you have taught on them on which this is something that you would really be needing up for them to have that kind of awareness on which it will really be leading up them to the good path but of course there would really be no assurance that they wouldnt really be dealing up with gambling considering that there are children who are really that go into that different path due to tons of temptation and distractions on which this might cause for them to forget on what you have told them when they are still that young. If you are a parent who do get involved with gambling but doesnt want for your
kids to be something the same then you should really be hiding yourself as much as possible.

Playing gambling in front of children is the same as teaching children to gamble because children are good imitators. So stop gambling in front of you because the impact will be very big on his education. Gambling is something that is not good, even for adults gambling can have bad consequences, especially for children, of course their minds are not smart enough to see the negative impacts of gambling.
Usually a child will do anything if he already knows or likes any game. For example, when there were still Playstation rentals, when children were addicted they would look for money in any way they could to get to the rental place, including secretly stealing money at home. Another example like today is playing games on a smartphone and getting addicted, of course this is also not good, especially if you frequently top up, they will also look for money in any way to be able to top up. Especially if they already know about gambling from their father, this will certainly have a bad impact on your child in the future.
I won't advise any parents to gamble in front of their kids cause most kids have the ability to learn very fast and at that tender age I'm not sure they'll understand how to gamble responsibly, some don't even know that too much gambling could lead to addiction therefore would always want to do it cause most casinos games are similar to their video games on play stations. Also since most kids do not have money to gamble with, they could be forced to steal from their parents to do so.
I absolutely and completely agree with you, your view on this topic falls inline with mine as well, which I put down in comments hiding in some of the previous pages.
A child who will grow up into an adult to gamble will gamble, if he or she doesn't learn it from his or her parents, there are school mates to learn from, there are friends to learn from, there are work colleagues to learn from.
Using myself as an example, my parent never gambled, in fact, they are so uneducated that they don't even know what the word "gambling" mean, not to talk of engaging in it, but then, here am i, I gamble, and who thought me? Definitely not my parents.
Many parents who don't gamble don't even understand what gambling is, but that doesn't mean that children who have parents like that won't be involved in gambling someday. Because they will find out about it through their friends who like to gamble and this is the most common reason that in the end they learn and feel pleasure even though they always lose and in the end continue to gamble.A child who will grow up into an adult to gamble will gamble, if he or she doesn't learn it from his or her parents, there are school mates to learn from, there are friends to learn from, there are work colleagues to learn from.

And for me, parents who like to gamble should not engage in gambling activities when they are with their children, and even if in the end they still gamble at least not because their parents or always see their parents gambling.
And your story is the same as mine, my parents didn't gamble and my gambling started with a friend who liked to gamble. However, I also kept my gambling activities a secret to them.
So, whether we play gambling game in front of our kids doesn't really matter, most slot games looks exactly like the many mobile games children play for fun, in fact, children can't tell the different except if told, so, it's very likely a child can watch his or her dad playing slot game, and assume that the dad is playing one of those mobile games the child's often plays.
And this is up to them, but it is better not to play in front of children. And many parents don't gamble, but they tell or give advice that gambling or slot games are not good, because slot gambling is the most popular. This makes people who are unfamiliar with slot games know about slot games but in a negative way. And this makes parents worry, even makes them the object of ridicule because of its popularity and also makes many people addicted and makes them miserable. legendary

Kids are imitators, but they dont imitate everything parents do. If they were complete imitators, parents would never punish then for misbehave. Or we would have little 7yo adults. Ever imagined how people in countryside live? What they do with pigs, sheeps, cows or chicken when they are hungry? Strange that we dont have little maniacs that see adult kill animals for food.
Anyway, show me an example of any kid who is addicted to gamble. But not use gambling as just a method to get some easy money.

Sad reality that most of the time both parents needs to work to address the needs of their family, to extent that they need to work overtime and with that situation the time that they need to spend for their kids, and like what you mentioned there are many wrong information that the kids can get from the internet,

Hey gamblers' community, hope you're all doing great.
I wanted to convey my message here that gambling in front of our kids may put adverse effects on their growing minds and they may also take the wrong path and start gambling (either by asking you personally for funds or by stealing it in order to fulfill their gambling cravings).
I'm sharing this because I saw this issue with my kiddo who was once watching me gamble at a website playing blackjack and she started asking me more about the game. Then one day, she wanted to play it herself and asked me if she can go for it and I said "no, it's not your legal age to go for such games". So, it's better to keep our kiddos away from gambling and let them focus on their studies, else it'd actually ruin everything for the whole family if the kid takes the wrong path.
If a gambler gambles regularly and if he has a family but he is forced to gamble in front of his family, many times these gambling issues have a bad effect on the gambler's family. If gambling is regularly discussed in front of children, they will at some point ask the Guardian what gambling is or how to play it because children are always curious and try to learn new things. If he regularly hears discussions about these matters from the family, a gambling effect will develop in him and the effect is harmful at least for the children. So as much as possible a gambler should conduct their gambling away from children.I wanted to convey my message here that gambling in front of our kids may put adverse effects on their growing minds and they may also take the wrong path and start gambling (either by asking you personally for funds or by stealing it in order to fulfill their gambling cravings).

That's right, curiosity that will deliver them to gain interest and start following the path, thinking that there's no wrong as they can see it from those adults that doing it in front of them, you can't control that kind of interest so better to become more careful whenever you are doing your gamble, especially if kids are around.
Some children are lucky enough to have both parents around them, and some of them are so smart that they can cope with the ever-rising trend in society and carry their children along. But for the children who don't have such parents around them or who don't even have any at all, most of the time they do their own learning by themselves, and some do it very well.
Sometimes, even when the parent is trying to educate them, they still find learning online and outside very helpful. Compared to the ones they get from home, especially the ones that keep friends a lot, the parent can just give them a basis' knowledge of the things they want them to know, but they can't teach them up to the extent that they will be satisfied.
Those who have parents who care about them are very lucky because their parents can provide the knowledge they need. They know that they should not disappoint their parents by doing something that could have a bad impact on themselves and their parents. They will try to avoid problems, especially when they are hanging out with their friends. They are aware that social factors with their friends can have a bad impact. Therefore, they can get knowledge from their parents that can be useful in their lives.Sometimes, even when the parent is trying to educate them, they still find learning online and outside very helpful. Compared to the ones they get from home, especially the ones that keep friends a lot, the parent can just give them a basis' knowledge of the things they want them to know, but they can't teach them up to the extent that they will be satisfied.
Parents want to ensure that their children can survive things that could have a bad impact on their children. And parents will always learn more so they can accompany their children as they grow into adults.
When parents establish themselves as a trusted authority, children are more likely to share exciting news or seek advice about what they've learned from friends. This is a positive sign. Its crucial for parents to instill a strong sense of values and foster critical thinking skills. Today's children are incredibly progressive and with the right guidance, they're well equipped to seek out information and evaluate it through the lens of family values.
If children can get closer to their parents, they will share many things with their parents. They will not share with their friends, especially something related to their personal life. They will trust their parents more to get the information because they are close to their parents. Children can know what they need to do when they encounter new things and they will ask their parents. They also won't try it before they get answers from their parents. That is why every parent needs to always learn new things, especially those related to their children.

I will just contribute in the short way children learn a lot from us. In fact, they just repeat what we are doing. Anything you are doing in the presence means you are teaching them how to do it and they will just repeat exactly what you are doing gambling in front of the kids is very dangerous because they will repeat that and not even letting you know unless you find out yourself so I wouldn’t advise anyone to proceeded and gambling in front of the kid, if you are doing it please just stop it’s not a good thing
Especially if your type of gambling portrays being irresponsible and being impulsive. You don't want to be that parent/ elderly don't you? Because once those children saw that excitement from negative behaviors, they perceive it as something rewarding and they ought to do the same because they are curious. So along with that, also show guidance because advertisements through media platforms also have those involvement with gambling. Easy money never last. Teach your children real skill and generational wealth instead.
Absolutely, I agree with you. It's crucial for parents to balance being an authority figure and a trusted ally to their children. However, it's important to maintain moderation in all things, including our approach to guiding them. Gambling can indeed serve as a form of social entertainment, but you also can essential to introduce children to a variety of activities that enrich their lives and expand their horizons.
Parents must educate their children so they do not take the wrong direction in socializing. Many children today have the wrong relationship and because their friends come from everywhere, it makes them get the wrong understanding. That's why if they are confused, they can ask their parents and get the right answer. That is why parents must be able to provide good knowledge to their children, and this also requires parents to learn more so they can guide their children well.I am sure that most parents are doing the best that they can already, it is just that now in many countries around the world both parents have to work in order to keep themselves afloat, and this is causing that many kids are growing without a strong parental figure that can guide them, so many of those kids are now looking the answers to their questions online, and as we know they can find all kind of mistaken information there that could warp the view they may have about gambling and they may try it at such an early age.
Yes, I'm sure of that too. But even so, parents cannot just hand it over to their children without any guidance from their parents. Nowadays, their children are exposed to more information, which means parents need to know what their children want to ask. Their children can search for the answers online, but if parents can provide more age-appropriate knowledge, it will help their children understand. Parents now have to learn more so they can understand their children's development well and educate them well.When parents establish themselves as a trusted authority, children are more likely to share exciting news or seek advice about what they've learned from friends.

Actually, I can imagine how to gamble in front of your kids and make of that something useful for them. First off, they should be of age above 14. Secondly, it shouldn't be a gambling session where you are excited hoping for a big win. On the contrary, it should be a cold-blooded session, and you should be explaining to your kids that it's stupid to count on earning money through gambling, and exemplify that with your game. This way you could teach a good lesson to your kids while losing just $10. But it also could be a terrible lesson if you won big accidentally. So, I'd say it's better not to risk and never gamble in front of your kids.
That is actually a real problem that I see among parents. Sometimes, when I see they play with kids (does not matter if it is gambling, board games or sports games), they play like they compete against equal adult. That is really annoying when I see adults beat kids, let say in chess, and call it as a valuable lesson, because kids needs to learn that the life if tough. Adults should play any game with kids like it is entertainment, to get them involved into game. Gambling with kids for little money seems a good lesson. But this game should involve both winning and loosing. Not only "I will give in" to make kid see how money are won.
Btw, what about playing monopoly? Game with play money, but it teaches about investment, trading. If people avoid gambling in front of kids because they are afraid that kids will grow up addicted to gambling and lose money. Then why Monopoly is different? Because kids might grow up addicted to trading and lose money. Wikipedia says Monopoly is suited for +8 yo.

People should ask themselves, is showing gambling to kids really that bad? I bet most of gamblers here, found out about gambling before they turned 18. Did bad things due to knowing it early really happened to you? Have you became addicted due to that? Kids knowing about gambling doesn't mean they won't escape the gambling habit. Could recur a member that mentioned about his dad abusing gambling right in front of them. He was a son to an addicted player but ended up having a severe hatred on gambling. For some reasons he didn't engage into gambling like his dad. It has both impacts on the person. It either makes the person avoid gambling entirely or get the person into gambling. Both ways none is the right choice for young people. First, having hatred on gambling is not good. Because gambling is good once a while a person is meant to gamble to get a few tastes of joy from swinging money. On the other hand if the person gets involved into gambling like his dad he could become addicted.
As a child I knew about gambling had some family friends that gambled. But didn't gamble like them because I never had access to doing it. Kids tend to repeat what whoever they respect do. It doesn't necessarily have to be the parents he lives with in same house. But a family friend or friend who comes once a whole, could, in multiple ways, influence the kids into gambling. The dad may unknowingly mention gambling. Or the person starts a conversation right in front of the kids about how he made money in gambling to purchase all the important looking things he posses. The child could be around listening. Having access is the main problem. Most kids today have complete access to anything online. Including online gambling.
You know, I can give you my own examples of how kids dont get addicted to what parents do. For example I watch UFC fights weekly. From time to time, kid passes by TV, pauses for few seconds to look at what is going on. For majority - my kid is watching violence. For majority - I am giving my kid a bad example. But, not a single school teacher, nor other parent complained about my kid fighting with others. Never ever I saw any aggression. Never ever my kid tried to solve situation with fighting. The other thing that my kid often see me doing is reading before going to sleep. Unfortunately, I cant boast that my kid likes reading or reads a lot. Maximum what the kid reads is for homework.
What I am saying, that kid not only get addicted to what parents do, but not always shows a huge interest to it. Btw, we play UNO and we bet candies (skittles). On one hand it is a motivation to gamble. On the other I dont let kid eat candies unlimited and for nothing. Beat me and grab a candy
Sometimes I get more candies than my kid 
I am sure that most parents are doing the best that they can already, it is just that now in many countries around the world both parents have to work in order to keep themselves afloat, and this is causing that many kids are growing without a strong parental figure that can guide them, so many of those kids are now looking the answers to their questions online, and as we know they can find all kind of mistaken information there that could warp the view they may have about gambling and they may try it at such an early age.
Yes, I'm sure of that too. But even so, parents cannot just hand it over to their children without any guidance from their parents. Nowadays, their children are exposed to more information, which means parents need to know what their children want to ask. Their children can search for the answers online, but if parents can provide more age-appropriate knowledge, it will help their children understand. Parents now have to learn more so they can understand their children's development well and educate them well.Sometimes, even when the parent is trying to educate them, they still find learning online and outside very helpful. Compared to the ones they get from home, especially the ones that keep friends a lot, the parent can just give them a basis' knowledge of the things they want them to know, but they can't teach them up to the extent that they will be satisfied.
Sad reality that most of the time both parents needs to work to address the needs of their family, to extent that they need to work overtime and with that situation the time that they need to spend for their kids, and like what you mentioned there are many wrong information that the kids can get from the internet,
The problem of gambling is sometimes very difficult to prevent including for a child but indeed this is still limited because in the end if they are adults and determine what they want with responsibility then it is welcome if they really want to do gambling even though but for children who are still not time to do it then it would be better if they continue to be limited and do not fall into something like this.

People should ask themselves, is showing gambling to kids really that bad? I bet most of gamblers here, found out about gambling before they turned 18. Did bad things due to knowing it early really happened to you? Have you became addicted due to that? Kids knowing about gambling doesn't mean they won't escape the gambling habit. Could recur a member that mentioned about his dad abusing gambling right in front of them. He was a son to an addicted player but ended up having a severe hatred on gambling. For some reasons he didn't engage into gambling like his dad. It has both impacts on the person. It either makes the person avoid gambling entirely or get the person into gambling. Both ways none is the right choice for young people. First, having hatred on gambling is not good. Because gambling is good once a while a person is meant to gamble to get a few tastes of joy from swinging money. On the other hand if the person gets involved into gambling like his dad he could become addicted.
As a child I knew about gambling had some family friends that gambled. But didn't gamble like them because I never had access to doing it. Kids tend to repeat what whoever they respect do. It doesn't necessarily have to be the parents he lives with in same house. But a family friend or friend who comes once a whole, could, in multiple ways, influence the kids into gambling. The dad may unknowingly mention gambling. Or the person starts a conversation right in front of the kids about how he made money in gambling to purchase all the important looking things he posses. The child could be around listening. Having access is the main problem. Most kids today have complete access to anything online. Including online gambling.
