That may be sound weird as we're gamblers and we don't want our kids to gamble. But that's the reality, we want the best for them and we know the implications once they become introduced to gambling. They might not control themselves and they're still kids and where they're going to get their money to gamble? from us, parents.
I think it's okay to voiced out gambling to them once you see the signs that their curiosity is also ticking about it. You tell them about habits, the effects of it and based from our opinion, good and bad.

Children absorb everything they see around them, so we who gamble must be a little more careful about what our children can see, and we must certainly be careful what we say near them! Gambling is just one of the sensitive topics and I believe that parents should go through all these topics with their children but at the right time! When the time is right? And what is the right way to talk depends on the parents and the child and their characters, so it is difficult to generalize all this, it is up to each of us to have a healthy way of thinking and a logical approach to talking to children... I guess it's all about that, for now, my kids are too young, so I will see for myself how this goes in a few years!
Even though my children will become gamblers and enjoy gambling, I will not teach them this when they are young or teenagers. maybe I will just remind you that gambling is something that is not good and when you fall into gambling addiction, you will only get losses everywhere. but on the other hand I will not forbid them to gamble when they grow up because it is their choice.
You also contribute to the increasing cases of gambling when you hide answers about gambling from the underaged when asked. If your kids or any underaged around you becomes too curious about gambling, educate them and let them know the perils of underaged gambling and why it is for adults, answer their questions and clear their doubts, so they don't go find out about gambling themselves.
This is always the best to do. Doesn't matter how polemical is this matter, talking freely and in an educative way about all its aspects, including the risks and potential benefits, will help an underage person to better understand what can be really expected from gambling realistically. In my opinion it's important to highlight for underage people that gambling won't replace a part or full time job for most people and even though there isn't any work disponible around, to consider gambling an emergency palliative can turn the financial situation more serious than just not working. Sometimes underage people have difficult comprehending this, so they need support from older and more experient family members and friends. 
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?
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.
You indirectly teach the underaged to gamble when you speak freely and excitedly about how you their parent or guardian placed some bets, visited a casino to have some fun and so on. (be careful what you say around the underaged, they learn quickly especially from someone they look up to.

There was a study done recently where it said children of smokers are much more likely to become smokers and it's unlikely to all be chemical dependency related. It's definitely a sad side affect of peoples addictions and shows how selfish such addictions can really be. It's one thing to destroy your own future, if you take it to the extremes, but when you have children you need to really try to set a higher standard. If you're a sensible gambler and are able to teach your children about it the proper way it might have some benefits (such as teaching them they will never win long term but it can be fun in small doses), but that level of self control is rare. Problem gamblers can also tend to have other traits like poor money management or even lying, which combined altogether can be even more disastrous.

this has become a dilemma for many parents who are gamblers out therei am a gambler but i don't plan to let my kids know that i play gambling, i better keep teaching his mind that gambling is bad
because if my child gambles at a young age, I am afraid he will become a criminal because at a young age he certainly cannot make his own money for his gambling capital, I avoid this but when he grows up it's his choice
It is for sure that I'm not going to teach my child to gamble. By any means or sign, I won't give any hint of him to avoid it. It's true that we may indirectly teach them.
Also in conversations, we have to be careful if we don't want to teach them. We have to make sure that they don't hear things about gambling when we're in front of them. They're always curious and they'll ask things related to it upon hearing it from us so be careful with words.

Even if no one wants their kids to play gambling, yet the children will play the gamble when they grow up. Whether you teach them to gamble or avoid telling anything about gambling, they will probably involve in gambling through their friends and society.
The best you can do is to tell them the pros and cons of gambling and then let them decide what they choose for themselves. And why not yourself let go gambling and set an example for them ?
Teaching your kids to Gamble??
Kids??
This is honestly the most inappropriate thing that I have ever heard. Teaching them the pros/cons and at the same time educating them safely if the parents do find them engaged in something like that might be a better option but we have to definitely define the kids here that we are talking about. It's about addiction as well, additionally it's pretty a vast subject to talk about. Therefore they have to be mentally ready as well, age difference as well as their understanding matters a lot!

When a child ask parents or guildiance questions concerning gambling and they tend not to give them answers is not the best, children tend to understand things fast when you try to hide things from them. Their is nothing wrong for parents to teach their children gambling, children should be giving proper gambling education to teach them how to role with gambling ( benefits & effect), how to use fund for gambling and everything good the kids need to understand about gambling.
I didn't know that. I was always shouting and was being drawn by the game and I even share it to my wife how much I bet for. The kids are around when I do that. But I think there's always a solution for this kind of problem. Better explain to them while they are growing up.
Right now, kids are just at home spending most of their time in their gadgets and toys while school is all online. "Online" that is the problem because they can easily access the gambling sites and with all the ads popping out even in kids games, they might accidently open it.
Solution to that is restricting their phones with parental access before opening a specific websites. That's a lot of work though but if it does good then time and effort will be worth it.

Here in my place most of the sports bets are done online so it's not a problem for us but I think the more worrying part is the games that also have these gambling aspects so even if you don't teach them or have some slip up it's going to come to them at some point.
Also, I don't think there's anything wrong with learning gambling on their own but at the same time the parents need to monitor their child's activity since the topic of gambling is really out there nowadays plus you'd see so many advertisements from most social media platforms.
The advancement of technology has brought many benefits to our lives but it has also brought many other dangers that as parents are difficult to see unless you are heavily involved on the lives of your children.Also, I don't think there's anything wrong with learning gambling on their own but at the same time the parents need to monitor their child's activity since the topic of gambling is really out there nowadays plus you'd see so many advertisements from most social media platforms.
Many people only think of gambling when it comes to the traditional games like dice and poker, however now there are many mechanics in video games that are very similar to gambling, and as such it is important to teach them what is it really going on so they do not fall victims of this and then they develop gambling issues in the future.
By providing education to my kids ,it is possible that they will not gamble because a good future starts with clearing the mind ,I mean not being indoctrinated by something destructive ! I'm aware that gambling is harmful so I will only educate in the opposite direction so that children will be stay away from gambling more firm attitude !
kids will follow our activities as an example I will be an angel in front of my kids ,but education about gambling must also be informed that gambling is only for professionals and is not a good thing to do it ! in my small heart I have to be a role model ,all parents want to have the best child that can be proud in the future

Unfortunately, the situation is similar with alcohol. It is visible almost everywhere (on the street, in restaurants, in movies, on TV), children observe it and it becomes a normal part of life for them. However, not all become alcoholics. It is similar with gambling when we unknowingly show it to them. I think it is better to just avoid showing it at all costs than to teach them to do so.
That's a very bad idea imo. You should teach your kids Math instead. When a kid has a solid understanding of mathematics, it is nearly impossible for him/her to get addicted to gambling because he will know that he would be the loser in the long run. If you don't teach them math first, they'll probably think they can get rich from gambling like so many noobs out there. I know it because I thought about it when I was younger and dumber.
I understand your point is, if we don't teach them, they can take the wrong patterns off the internet. Children don't know the value of money. They can be taught the rules of gambling, but showing them how to play for money is too dangerous in my opinion.
There is no denying that children will become like us and no parent will teach their children to gamble, and the real example is we and we were not taught by our parents.
and in the end we are involved in gambling and even without their knowledge, it is all because of the increasingly sophisticated Age especially in technology that attracts us to get involved and it will happen to our children later without our knowledge.
and I personally still advise not to get involved in gambling because it will be detrimental, and in the end they do it anyway. and there may be no option to let go, and it is always under my supervision not to become an addict.

It is much easier to control girls than boys when it comes to gambling. I feel 5/10 parents will have a hard time preventing their son from gambling when every child has an android in their hands. Easy internet access has opened up higher opportunities for underage gambling involvement and this is already happening in many countries of the world.
Children need to be taught what is good and what is bad and what they can and cannot do. Religious norms will fortify them from things that are prohibited, but this modern era will be a barrier for every parent to prevent things like gambling or other acts from happening to minors.

- Teach them the right things
- Don't let them hold android more than learning needs.
- Their control is much more frequent at times they least expect.
- Education
I, like most parents who want only good for their children, do not teach my children to gamble, but I explain to them the algorithms by which they work. I think it is important that the child understands from childhood that gambling can lead to serious losses and the risks of such games are too high.
If I gamble myself, I do it so they don't see it. I believe that we must protect minors from gambling in every possible way.

There is the case of increasing number of underaged gamblers, will you still teach your little kids to gamble?
I will not teach kids to gamble but I will teach/inform them about gambling in general so they will have better understanding about the effect of gambling. The increasing number of underaged gamblers is not because their parent teach them to gamble, but they know it from the internet such as social media where there are many gambling ads or from other people around them. This is the main task of parents to teach and control them so they will not do something that they do not know well.
sooner or later, they will encounter the world of gambling. so yeah, you can educate them what you know about gambling and the possible consequences when you submerge yourself into this activity. they may unknowingly learn gambling outside your home, but at least they should know the possible impact of this activity on their daily life.
but as much as possible, let them stay away from gambling. if they are old enough to understand their finances, then, let them learn their own way if in case they will traverse the path of gambling. you can never see what they're doing 24/7. but if they have the basics, they may remember it along the way.
