what is the impact of gambling on students?

[Mr. Allcrypto]

seem the predictable effect when a person who has no source of funds getting into serious gambling issue. there are students who already killed himself after losing his tuition fee.

a grown man also won't last with his gambling issue resorting to stealing and pawning his assets just so he could continue gambling. the worse could happen to a kid who only dependent to his parents.

So sad... but how can a student risk his tuition fees for gambling? Gambling is for fun, and I have told many people that they should not gamble with their budget or money they can't afford to loose for that particular period. Gambling is for people who have spare money to have some fun and try their luck.
Gamble wisely.

I completely agree that problem gambling can have detrimental impact on students. It is concerning to see how it can affect academic performance mental health physical health and family relationships. It is good for students to be aware of danger of gambling and to get help if they or someone they know is facing with this issue. Education and support are key in preventing negative consequences of problem gambling on students.

And in the next few years, we can see the bad side-effects of allowing gambling to be accessible by anyone of age via the many apps on the smartphone. And here in my own country, they are even allowing advertising of those gambling apps in the popular free TV programs...and personally I don't approve of it as gambling should be strictly regulated and the government must not only think of the tax revenue they can generate out of the operation but also the cost of gambling to the society as a whole. Students and young people can be a very vulnerable groups on this situation as there is no need anywhere to go to a real casino because now they can do it on their fingertips.

The impact of gambling on student is seriously bad, and it has impacted the student negatively in a way that it has affected the academics; poses failures in academic performance,mental health issue,risk of suicide,physical health issue and lost of family togetherness.
So problem gambling can be detrimental to student and it is dangerous for Ernest student because of the negative impact it poses on the students. What is your own opinion on this.

Gambling must be banned for students as student life is career building time.  If the students participate in gambling instead of studying during this career formation, then their life will be difficult instead of career formation and later these students will face difficult situation.  Therefore, students should spend all their time on education instead of spending it in other areas.  Moreover, gambling can put students in financial crisis as well as emotional crisis, which will have a significant impact on the formation of their academic career.  That is why a student should never participate in gambling instead of studying.

Banning gambling for all students will be an injustice to other students who are responsible for their gambling. Gambling as we know has both positive and negative connotations and as a gambler, it's either gambling is helping you or destroying you. This is not only peculiar to students. But then, even if such laws are made prohibiting students from gambling, the challenge now will be, how do you identify a student? And what classes of students will be prohibited considering that studentship is of different levels? How would you compel a postgraduate student not to gamble?

In my thinking, there should be a widespread crusade calling on students to prioritize their studies and the government must make sure that students are paid stipends monthly because some of these students gamble to make money to fund their academics.

I agree with your submission.  Personally,  gambling has been sustaining me for some months now. My target every week is to make only 10,000 Naira. What I do is look for 1.50 odds and then make a stake of 20,000 Naira. This usually gives me 30,000 Naira and so, when I deduct my staking power, I have a profit of 10,000 Naira. I have been on a good run for some weeks.

I will note here that I also don't play every week. Like during the International break, I didn't gamble. Also, some weeks when fixtures appear so tricky I avoid gambling. Part of the reason most gamblers lose is that they want to gamble every day regardless of the fixtures. Others are chasing big wins and big wins come with so much risk. I advise that gamblers should mitigate the risk by reducing the number of games and outcomes they chase.

Gambling is one of the toughest obstacles because it can be extremely addictive, and it can be difficult for students to understand if they have an issues. I believe that schools should do more to educate students about the dangers of gambling problems, as well as provide assistance to students who encounter difficulties with this particular problem, because many students are still unaware of the resources that are available to them. So schools must do a better job of publicizing these programs and ensuring that students know where to get assistance. They must also address kids' usage of social media and online gaming, as these platforms may be problematic in their lives as well.

It's such a pity, but this is what we see everyday when people have the wrong ideas about gambling, and this misconception is common amongst majority of the gamblers. Gambling should never be seen as a way to multiply your money, there are other ways you can sort for solutions when you face a financial problem. I've been in this situation before during my University days, I was out of cash and I had fees to pay but no money to pay them, I had only little money with me, like any gambler would think, I saw an opportunity to multiply the money, so I had to risk the small money with me. It was actually my first time to gamble and I had no experience, but I had a roommate who said he had sure odds (like I knew what that meant at the moment) but he assured me that it was going to be a big win, which motivated me to give it a try. I did and I actually won the game, but it still wasn't enough to pay for the fees as it was only half of the fees, rather than going to risk that one again to gamble with hopes of gaining more, i sort for other means to complete the money and paid for my fees.

Re: what is the impact of gambling on students?

I think it would be the same with the adult gamblers out there.
I don't think there's any difference on the impact gambling can give to both students and adult ones.

Maybe the difference is that, most of the students have no source of income so they'll spend less money in gambling compare to those adults who most probably has a job. The only problem with this one is the parents of the student that got addicted to gambling will be the one who most likely to suffer. I mean they're spending their time working for the sake of their son/daughter who is a student, and where does their child goes? In a casino gambling using his/her money. As for the impact, I see no difference at all.

A student should not involve in gambling, because they will not understand that they should gamble for fun, rather they are gambling to double their money, which will make them lose focus on their education. They will start stealing to gamble because they are not working, and they can easily because of fear take their lives, they must have used a huge amount of money to gamble that is not theirs. Students will hide their addiction, and their friends might not be able to help them because they still need parental guide in their lives. An adult can come back to his senses, after he ha e realized that he has lost a lot to gamble, and he have not hit it big, and stop gambling. Adults are working and have people around them that can help them out from any ugly situation they got in to due to their gambling activities.

Imho, impact of gambling on students is noticeable, but does not influence so much that some serious actions must be taken. For example how many students there are in general? Millions and millions. And how many of them have serious gambling problems? Maybe a hundred thousand as maximum. I think it is less than 0.1%. I dont think that this is the amount of students that require authorities to take some action. Nor they cant do anything about it. Among those students who gamble, I believe that only a little percent are addicted gamblers, other gamble for fun. I dont know real statistics, but I think that only 1 2 out of 100,000 students is addicted. That is nothing for statistics.

Gambling is very dangerous for any person but more so for students. If a student becomes addicted to gambling while still a student, his life will be ruined. I have seen some students in my area who used to take bad drugs and participate in gambling and those students are today ruining their careers and living very hard lives. Those of their classmates who did not participate in gambling always avoided gambling and shunned vices have now arranged their lives beautifully. So every parent should be careful not to attract this deadly gambling addiction to the students. If parents raise their children carefully and supervise them, students will not be attracted to gambling addiction.

[Fancode09]

I have seen students who are usually addicted to gambling are now known as bad people in the society. As far as possible they have created a situation where they are willing to do any evil to make up for the gambling money. So such a boy child is the biggest threat to the society and the family, because a gambling addict can never bring anything good. So every parent should be careful enough to discipline his son so that your son does not get addicted to gambling.

I have also seen several students who often open gambling sites but fortunately they are not too addicted because in their school there are several events that provide knowledge about the dangers of addiction in exchange places. I am sure they are already equipped with the risks that can occur when frequently visiting gambling places. . It's true that parents may have done their utmost to monitor what their children do every day, but when they are at school and when they are playing with their friends, as parents it will be difficult to monitor what they do out there.

When a student is addicted, his education is affected. He will lose focus on his academics, and can easily become a dropout since he will not be able to pay his school fees. Whenever such a student is given his school fees, his first thought will be to use it for gambling and the parents of the student will come to know when a lot of things have gone wrong already in the student's life.

With the rate of student involvement in gambling, parents should always keep an eye on their children's activities and work rates in school to be able to ascertain their performance. In the case of a drop in performance, parents should find out the cause. If a parent pays a lackadaisical attitude in the progress of the child, it will be too late to make corrections if the child is trapped in addiction.

Gambling is addictive and students who become addicted may have trouble focusing on their studies and may result to drop out of  school. It leads to social problems such as conflict with friends and family.
Do you think KYC should be done, as to enable student to refrain from it?

[bitbit97]

This is actually amazing how things have change during last 10-20 years. When I was a student, I cant say that I was 100% focused on a study, but I barely paid attention to gambling. To gamble I needed spare money, but my mind was busy thinking where to get or earn money in general, because I was sort of in «adults life» and wanted better closed, notebook, mobile, car, own flat and etc. However, I think that current situation with students and gambling is pumped. Problem isnt that big. I think that most students are busy thinking where they would work after university with a large salary.

[Penlex_Writer]

Gambling can make a student to skip classes. Use the money for school bills to gamble. Risk writing exam for failure to pay exam fees. Miss quizzes because of always being absent from school. Lacks learning and reading materials because of using the money for gambling. Sells phones or laptops to settle debts incurred due to gambling.

The above is the behavior of a student who is addicted to gambling. All these will lead to academic failure and then create psychological problems for the gambler.
