Parents? They are responsible but most kids are learning gambling from the internet not from their parents so the growth of technology has to be blamed if we want to blame something. But as a parent it is important to talk about money to our kids and importance of managing it then these teens will know how much to spend because its not going to be their money on most cases.
What you say is true, because parents still have to be responsible for everything their children do, now I think that apart from giving them the freedom to surf the internet, parents should also supervise their children access to the internet, and besides that there are many factor that triggers children to gamble, apart from environmental influences, of course their friends can also be one of the causes of children to gamble, it is quite important for parents to know where and with whom children are friends, because if children are given 100% freedom of course children will be caught in the wrong association.

Maybe we can forbid but we must explain why it can be a danger to them, especially if they are still kids. We can give an example for addicted people in gambling and what happens to them so they can see that gambling can ruin their lives. With the right explanation that they can understand, I am sure they will not be curious and search for more about gambling instead will try to avoid it and tell their friends why they should not be involved in gambling. We can not give them strict rules to avoid gambling them because they will disobey it and try to figure it out by themselves and I am afraid that can make them go in the wrong direction.
That's the right way to do than letting them discover gambling for themselves, they can easily learn it in the internet, we all know kids nowadays are quite reckless if they are influenced in the wrong way, so it's better that parents are the ones to tell them the disadvantages and the risk of being a gambling addict, only responsible parents can mold responsible children by doing the right approach.

I try to teach my child to understand the essence of gambling, and not to scare her with bad aftermaths or something else that can be negative if she is too passionate about gambling. Thank God she understands mathematics well and is not a gambling person, so I can assume that she will not have problems with gambling.
Generally speaking, our whole life is gambling and you need to look for where it is profitable, and avoid those areas where it is unprofitable.

I will not teach them about gambling but as we know, they can get gambling information from the internet, especially when they watch videos from Youtube, although we already use Safe Setting for kids. If somehow, they know gambling from what they got from the internet, I will explain why gambling can be dangerous and for adults. Luckily, I do not play gambling when they are awake so they do not know if sometimes, I am playing gambling 
It is how we can tell our kids about the danger, the risk, and what we will get from gambling, especially if we lose all of our money so they can understand that they must stay away from gambling before everything is ruined. If we can explain with the right, they will understand and will not try to get involved in gambling, even if they have already grown up.
When we forbid it because they are not old enough, they will be more curious. So I will explain to them what will likely happen if they play gambling. I think they will understand if we explain well. Moreover, the status of parents or family, we are even more comfortable in explaining, because there is a strong emotional connection.It is how we can tell our kids about the danger, the risk, and what we will get from gambling, especially if we lose all of our money so they can understand that they must stay away from gambling before everything is ruined.

As we have said above, some parents draw children's attention to gambling without even thinking about it. For example, a simple coin toss, which seems quite harmless, can be deposited in the unconscious memory of a child, which may later affect the addiction to gambling.
When my child asks about gambling games that he downloads to his phone, I try to explain to him that such games are trying to take his money. It seems to me that any sensible parent would try to limit their child from gambling, even if it is free.
Well, everything starts from an early age! You presented a good example, and I believe it's like that, it can look harmless at the moment but later can have consequences!
I don't know how old is your kid, but I will try to remember how you are doing it, I like it... kids will pay more attention if you explain to them that some game can take their money for snacks and toys! My kids are little, the older one is only 3 years old and I guess I have a few more years before they jump me with questions about gambling!
Harmless for them knowing that they cannot feel the worse situation at the moment and they can feel the impact on what they are doing upon growing up that's why we need to pay attention to our youngster since if they will be unguided to go on this area then provably they will be in bad situation which can put them in danger. But if they are will guided and been educated then maybe the risk is low.
for Sports betting - You indirectly teach your kids to gamble when you leave open your online betting slips, and drop carelessly within the reach of the underaged your offline slip if you didn't bet online. Kids are very inquisitive and take cue from their parents and guardians easily.
Whether sports betting or visit to casino or whatever ways including forgetting to cover your tracks from kids, the question is can you really keep those things or anything away from kids ? And the answer is no. Every betting company has it website online.
The changes that have occurred in our world is our number culprit. The internet has been exploded that it is has become a place of rest and relaxation for kids.
I mean there is nothing the kids can't find on the internet with the high tech phones available to them, you don't try to prevent them from using it because they would use that of their friends or be thought "wrongly" by their friends.
The best therefore is to properly educate the kids so they are well informed and guided and not to hide things off from them.
Many people are already into gambling some of them just use to entertain themselves and also earn some extra money and children already enlightened with this kind of activity in my country there's a lot of people playing gambling in their leisure time and of course, it's just a casual game so they play near on their houses and their children saw it. By that, they learn how to play and the parents ignore this kind of learning to them and some of them teach them that not good or appropriate still it's on the parent's guidance.
True, even when you go to the mall and enter those supposedly entertainment place for kids, somewhat there is a subliminal message to them to be a gamble. They insert coins or tokens, play with their friends and try to bested each other. So that for me is already gambling per se. Anyhow, sooner or later some of our kids are really going to developed a knock on gambling and hopefully they can control it when they grow up and you as a parent will have to guide them.
There is the case of increasing number of underaged gamblers, will you still teach your little kids to gamble?
The answer will be "no" for most users, but truth is that in reality, most parents who gamble teach their kids indirectly to gamble without knowing, how?
Actually we are teaching them indirectly by the way we live , how we bring them daily . when we talk about gambling when they are around this will bring them to understand and think that gambling is good and rightful to do.The answer will be "no" for most users, but truth is that in reality, most parents who gamble teach their kids indirectly to gamble without knowing, how?
i myself is a victim of this . though my parents are not gamblers but my uncles are, and they commonly play infront of us in our premises when i was young , and they even give us TIP when they won , or sometimes when they ask us to buy them some foods or cigarettes (Since in my country it is allowed for youngster to buy smoke)

Right now, we are in a world where everything can be seen online and that also includes gambling.
The technology is also evolving and people including kids can access into the internet as quickly as possible. For sure most of the kids know the word gambling.
Teaching them directly really is a bad thing but the reality is, we can't prevent them in knowing what gambling is. As a responsible parent, the only thing that we can do is to teach them how gambling works and what are the possible effects of it to a person both positive and negative. Unfortunately, there are some kids around the world who are gambling because they saw somebody won online or they are curious about it and its the parent who's responsible for it if there are negative things happen to the kid.

Surely, teaching your children to gamble is an inappropriate term; rather, it should be a proper discussion about the ins and outs of gambling and how it can affect their overall lives when it starts to go wrong. Moreover, researchers have found that the attitudes of family members toward gambling have a significant impact on the likelihood of youth gambling[1].
Therefore, teaching these important topics to their children will somehow give light on their journey.
- The nature of probabilities.
- install add-ons for web browsers to limit the advertisement they see on the internet.
- financial education(e.g., money, debt, simple economic strcuture).
This way children can filter out which are the pros and cons when they encounter gambling somewhere in their lives.

Teaching them to gamble, like teaching them to play roulette and such things, seems irresponsible to me.
Teaching them looks irresponsible. What if you later find out they play gamble. It is better you teach them how to play responsible than leaving them , if you teach them growing up they will be able to control their urge for gambling (addicted). But when no body put them through they will like to do it the way they like without any control.

It is actually not direct teaching that makes most kids or minors gamble. Kids or minors gamble because they see gambling around. If a kid is exposed to gambling because his parents are also gambling then he will most likely learn it from them. He will either become a gambler while still a minor or grow into the legal age and become a gambler.
Some kid gamblers are getting the idea of gambling from their peers who are exposed to gambling. Others are simply living in a neighborhood where the presence of gambling is strong. There are many reasons why kids gamble other than direct teaching.

I don't mind teaching them a thing or two if they are curious. I mean, they could learn it from someone else who doesn't care about them or from someone who can explain gambling to them and what's the pros and cons of gambling. and to be honest, keeping your child from gambling is almost impossible nowadays. what they need is proper guidance and not secrecy.

Well i don't have kids yet myself but i am pretty sure i would not be that big of a inspiration for them to start gambling or sports betting, because i just do it for fun with small amounts of FIAT and i am happy if i win and if i lose i don't really care to much, but i am not doing it for a living like some people in this forum. That being said, if you have kids or younger siblings or whatever and they see you while you are gambling on your computer or smartphone then they are basically introduced to gambling through you, no matter how you take it. Then it is your responsibility to tell them that they should not do it if they are still young. Once they become teenagers they will do what they want anyway.
