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.

Although they will learn it eventually when they become teens, it's good to remind them before it grows in thier mind that gambling is a source of income. Even the greatest high rollers in the past have to retire due to losses.

The internet is introducing a lot of things and parents may not keep up when kids are using gadgets. A constant reminder still for us who have kids using the internet. I'm considering giving my kid just an old phone not meant for browsing but he'll also be behind in class because the teachers today are also asking them to search using thier phones. It's like teaching them how to use google.

I like what you said mate, I mean I do agree in the fact that even though we don't teach our child about gambling (which of course there's no parents that would want to teach their children at young minds about gambling) but due to fast growing and developing technology we know that eventually the child will going to learn it as it grows. So, as a parents, our duty is to be their constant guide and always being there for them to explain anything that we know the right and wrong for them. As a parent, as long as we can influence the life decision of our child let's keep on reminding to them the limitations, the pros and cons of gambling if they may get a chance to catch it up on internet or by accidentally.

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.

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.

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.

kindly bring to our notice other ways user's have unknowingly contributed to the increasing number of underaged gambling, so we can take corrections and make amends where necessary.
