And when they see their parents gambling, they will come closer and want to know what gambling is like. Moreover, if they have money on the gambling table, they will ask, which may make them even more curious to try it later with their friends. I can't imagine if these underage children were gambling with their friends. And even if it is a small bet, they don't deserve to do it because they can become addicted. After all, they will find that gambling is fun, especially if they can take home some money. You must be careful, especially if they ask their parents for more money. Parents must always pay attention to their children and provide understanding so they do not take the wrong path.

This shows that you dont have kids, or dont pay much attention what they do during free time. You see the situation from adults point of view, but kids (I mean like real kids, not teenagers) dont care much about money. They have parents to solve all that "money moments". So when the kids see money on the table, first they get excited if there is a lot, but often quickly lose interest to it. You know, the kids rarely measure things different than adults. They rarely use "money" to measure things. When they see something, it is big, small, shiny, tasty, red, heavy and etc. They dont measure things as "that cost 9.99", "this is 100 bucks", "wow that cost like 3 my monthly salaries", "this car cost a million".

Regards your phrase that I have bolded. When I was a kid I bet 3 chewing gums that I can swim the pool faster than my friend. From your point of view, I with this bet I did something bad and I did not deserve to even place that bet. But, I believe, when you was a kid, you did similar bets either.

It's true, every child will definitely feel curious about what their parents are doing.
that is why we can choose which parts we will show and not show until he understands how to differentiate them.
but by not pointing out things that we think are bad may have made his way of thinking different.

We should not do anything to our children so that our children will have a bad attitude towards those things. But if a child can grow up with proper education from his parents then he can become a human being. Some children are spoiled by their parents. Because of discipline if parents can discipline properly then children can never indulge in any bad deeds. So we should always encourage our children to do good deeds.

Children are the smartest set of beings and they are very fast in learning from whatever they find around them and that's why adults are advised to be sensitive enough to know what to do and not to do around children and which gambling is one the vices children shouldn't be introduced to.
Adults gamble because they either want to gamble for fun or because they want to find financial aid from it and as adults, they can regulate themselves and know when to quit. But any child that's introduced to gambling is likely to ruin his/her life with gambling because as children they wouldn't know the implications of gambling addiction hence they'll always do it because they saw an adult who was doing. It's very bad to gamble around kids

Right now you have called all those who gamble as bad people Cheesy

Please explain why they or gambling are bad. Btw, you see I have a gambling casino in my signature. Does it makes me double bad, as not only I advertise gambling, but gamble myself. Also, why do you think that person who gamble, with 100% probability becomes addicted? Why cant we gamble for fun? Somehow I think you are narrow minded about kids and gambling.

I think he just used a wrong word and phrased his thoughts too vague, but means no harm to the gambling community. It's true that gambling has its negative effects to people, there should be no denying in that. It can cause addiction and several effects to one's mental health and financial capacity. Hence, it's really risky to involve kids that know nothing yet when it comes to gambling. It's still much better to keep them out of it until their brain can fully understand how it works, together with its pros and cons, so that they could think and act in their own without being swayed or pressured by the society or their peers, or even be lost on the process.

Gamblers and bettors aren't bad people. You can't really distinguish someone's attitude based on the things they do. Sure, you can make your guess, but you can't really say that they are like that for sure. It will just be your impression of them and there's nothing wrong with that. But don't impose it to others as well and don't go telling that around cause you might find trouble. Gambling can be done for fun and for profit depending on what you prefer.

Again, why is it bad to gamble in front of kids? Do kids have millions and billions, and if they see adults gamble, they would lose all their money in no time? Even if the kid has money, gambling would be one of the last things the kid would spend it on. Instead, he would buy toys and sweets. Dont forget that kids have entire life ahead. By the time their deeds would have significant impact on their or other lifes, they would be familiar with harm addicted gamblers get.

Maybe I am different and had different kids around me and had different childhood. I've seen adults play cards, I've seen they make bets (not in casinos, but a bet between two persons), I have played cards and monopoly with fake money. Same did all the kids I know. I have observed them grow (for example my goddaughter that is 15 already), and I have never seen a kid that turns gambling addicted.

Just look on the numbers. 600k people visit Las Vegas weekly. More than 30 millions persons per year from all around the world. I doubt that all of them came to Vegas without kids. In fact, Vegas is not only about gambling, there are entertainment possibilities everywhere. Kids unintentionally see adults gamble, seem them lose or win big money. Share that when they get home. With all that 30 million experiences to share, do we see a lot of cases when kids did something bad because of gambling? Should we ban Vegas then? Instead we take kids to Vegas just to show how cool everything is there. Again, I see nothing bad to gamble in front of kids. Because it is my duty to educate them in such a way, that they on their own understand what addiction is and why it isnt good.

From your post I have found that there are already two type of gamblers - adults and kids in your surrounding. The difference are - when adults gamble, they do it for two reasons, have fun and earn if they are lucky. Kids gamble in different way. They gamble for fun, for small things, trifles. I've never heard that 5yo kid was so into gambling, that he has lost parents house and now owe to half of the city. Never an adult play against kids seriously, nor accept their unrealistic bet. Never adults gamble against kids to win all their money, make them broke and etc.

If someone is afraid, that his kid will watch them play, then take parents money and gamble them away, then the problem is not in gambling, but in education. It is parents fault that they neglected the child, did not explain what is good or bad, what is appropriate to do, and what not.

I would guess that "kids" could be different, a 13-14 year old is still a kid as well and online world is not blocked to them if they know what they are doing. Nothing stops them from starting a new gambling account in an online casino and they could end up with losing a lot of money if they are not careful.

I personally believe that the best thing to do in the end would be making sure that you are going to end up with a kid who is illegally gambling without giving any KYC or secretly taking the photos of the ID of someone older who knows. In the end we should not be gambling in front of the kids because it is not 1950's anymore, any kid could end up making some gambling online account and could lose a lot of money if they are not careful. I personally believe that the best we can do would be teaching them how risky it could be if they are not careful.

Yes all children try to grow up with the education of their parents from childhood. If a child sees his parents are addicted to gambling then that child will never be good he will at some point be interested in gambling and become addicted to gambling. If any Parents are addicted to gambling I would say never gamble in front of their children because their children will not understand that their parents are addicted to gambling and the child will never get interested in gambling.

We thought that educating them earlier could help them understand what gambling is all about but the results are too opposite, we are grabbing them to gain curiosity and try.
Yes, there is a right time for them to learn about it, and when they are already at an illegal age where we believe that they are capable enough to understand the whole concept of gambling.

This doesn't need to be done or what this means is that your neighbors don't need to gamble in front of their children because it will trigger their children's curiosity to find out more and try. And this happened to his children because they saw that it was an interesting game. Maybe later they will find out more from the internet if they can access the internet easily.

Now they already know about gambling but hopefully, your neighbors can give them an understanding that gambling is not a place to make money. These children are not old enough or are not suitable to be familiar with gambling because it can carry over until they grow up. But hopefully not.

I'd argue the opposite almost, spending money sure and teaching kids about earning money, managing it and so on is a different topic but playing games is natural behavior for children. Card games are quite normal for kids to play and blackjack was one I played as a child, gambling attached to various games is a different subject I agree thats not for kids but the game itself I dont think is worth excluding anyone from.
Knowing the game vs banning them from playing is where I'd expect them to play a game they are banned from playing anyway so they might as well do it while its still a game not a danger in the gambling form. Anything can be attached to betting, any sport we cant exclude people from this.

I agree, the curiosity and desire that arises from within children will certainly encourage them to want to do the things they see from their parents and even from the people around them. I think this is a natural thing, because they want to imitate what their parents and they do. Just think of it as good upbringing for him, well this is where we as parents always show good behavior in front of our children, we should also keep gambling a secret, it's not yet time for them to know about it, there will be a time when we are still teenagers or adults when we give their understanding of gambling.

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).
-snip-

Kids always idealized their parents. They start observing and learning things at a very young age. If you are doing something wrong in front of them, they might consider it a normal thing. They might also develop gambling-related stress and financial mismanagement. A person must be of utmost caution in what they say and what they do in the presence of kids.
If a person still wanted to gamble, at least he should do it in a controlled environment, away from the children.

This can be avoided if we properly educate our children about gambling and how it will impact their lives. We should try to give them awareness about responsible behaviour and the importance of informed choices.

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.

I love watching lectures by psychologists working with gambling addicts, and in one of the last videos there was an incredible specialist, a professor of psychology. He said that the world of gambling changes a person's consciousness, the fact is that gambling seems to push back the harsh reality, making the player feel that now everything is going according to His rules, that here only He decides how and what will happen. And the casino seems to be just an observer, a friendly intermediary. And imagine how it affects children. Therefore, after winning a couple of times, they will not want to return to the harsh reality where everything is not according to their rules.
