How threatening is gambling to the younger generation?

[Igebotz]

An interesting fact is that in my country gambling is not legal and its not advertised much but still people are greatly encouraged to gamble. This is because the young generation is so much attracted to gambling that they spread their gambling through their friends and relatives rather than any advertisements. It has now reached the stage that they are addicted to gambling without knowing anything about gambling. They don't even know how they can get rid of this addiction. If a youth in a family is addicted to gambling, his family does not know about him. Awareness must be raised to save the Young generation from such conditions.

This sounds weird in that how can people still gamble or encouraged to gamble? Who is encouraging the people to gamble when it is not legal? I also doubt that there will be any advertisements, and anyone who attempts to post gambling content will face consequences because they are inciting others to do something illegal.

If there are people who want to gamble, they will do so in secret and only online using a VPN because the country will block any gambling-related websites or advertisements. If this is the ideal then it will not be common to see people gamble because only few would want to go to the extend of breaking the law by gambling in secrecy.

Bah now everything moves faster with the increasingly modern era. I can say that now there are no more limitations about anything, because everything becomes easier to access by anyone.

So as I said before, what we can do now is to anticipate and provide education about things that can be dangerous for young people. because they are still at a vulnerable age and it will also grow their personality.

In the digital age, there is no other way without proper monitoring and proper education about digital devices and internet.
Otherwise we think that we are entering the digital age day by day which will make our life easier and which will bring more benefits to our future generation but not if we do not educate them in a proper way about the access of these digital devices. In the beginning they will start going in the wrong direction and later they will lead their life in dangerous situation. So I think to save our future generation we have to provide proper education to them about these issues.

Actually we don't have to talk about gambling, because we can see what is happening now where everyone is holding their smartphones, including children under age.

Without parental supervision, they can do anything, and even when they do get supervision, they will be smarter to cover up what they do with their phones. The education and family sectors are one way to educate them, although it is not 100% a way that can really make them obey it.

Yes, I also wanted to say that people can be saved with the same weapon and people are killed and crimes are committed with the same weapon. Here I will consider mobile or digital devices as a weapon and say that parents who do not supervise their children and allow excessive mobile use will definitely have more bad effects on their children than the current ones. The young society is becoming addicted to porn and gambling from a very young age.

If we compare gambling threat to adults and younger generation, then adults are more endangered. As they have full access to gambling and are more flexible and creative with getting money. While gambling and underaged issues can be greatly decreased by cutting off money flow of the underaged, with adults its much complicated. Cut off underaged budgeting in a way of not giving lunch money, money as presents, and the number of underaged gambler will greatly decrease. Underaged will get tired from finding ways to get money for gambling. As they are not fully prepare for responsibility and work, in months, they will drop the idea to get money for gambling. Simply because "it is boring". Of course there will be exceptions, but number of underaged gamblers will decrease. To bad that does not work with adults. As they are more experienced, more creating in moments when they need money.

It's like a double-edged sword that can be something positive or vice versa. It depends on each individual, we definitely agree with that.

On the one hand, we definitely want to see the younger generation be literate in technology, whatever it is. We definitely don't want them to be technologically illiterate. But on the other hand, if it is not directed properly, it will cause something negative. It is indeed difficult when you are in a situation like this.

You got me what I want to said.
It has become really difficult to save our future generation from these current situations. But as far as I think things are difficult but not impossible. If we want, we can give them mobile phones, but we should also give them directions so that they use them in the right way. Some things that are bad for them should also be presented in front of them in advance and they should be told in detail about those things and what are their bad impacts. And if they understand easily then good and if they don't understand or do the opposite then we have to discipline them.

Do you think younger generations are in danger?

Yes the younger generation is in a very great danger because gambling is now a very big distraction and trouble to their future as most young people today is more concerned how they can make money quick that is why they have turned their attention to Gambling at the expense of their future and education because looking at the society we find our self now from the point when casino's and sport gambling sites and shops became popular these gambling hall is filled with young people from morning till evening and is a big concern to the future of generation of elders as these young people will grow old with these gambling habit

Gambling is not legalized in my country but gambling can be conducted freely here. But here no one is directly persuading anyone but there is a point that gambling platforms have referral system so there are many people who want to attract gamblers but it is not public that is why we don't see them. If you refer some of the gamblers who gamble regularly then there is a chance of getting good profit. Maybe for this reason, many people can promote the issue of gambling by hiding themselves.

I don't think there is any major obstacle to the promotion of bans because currently, when browsing the internet on social media, gambling sites are promoted on almost every website, I mean, they are shown from Google Adsense.
And I think your governments can't do much in this case. More than they ban IPs, gambling is constantly promoting itself on social media in various ways. Now, as a country like yours, my only opinion is that if you follow the rules and regulations of your country, then it would be better for you not to gamble.

Once again, this requires proper education and direction, so that they do not go off the path they should not have gone, this is a form of anticipating unwanted things from happening.

I liken this to a teenager who has martial arts skills, for example. They must be directed not to use their martial arts skills on the streets, so there must be a place for their martial arts to be channeled into an achievement.

You make a good point. I think that to reduce children's mobile addiction or internet addiction, they need to be provided with plenty of physical toys, and as you said, they need to be attracted to be active in arts skills or other sports.
I will not say that digital devices are completely non-existent, but here is the only way to prevent our future generations from becoming addicted to them, and that is to divert their minds towards other physical games so that their brain development will also be good. But our current parents, to reduce little toil of them, most of the time they give their children mobile phones so that they stay calm and this leads them to various bad things in the future.

In addition to whatever distraction a parents intends to give their child, they should not fail to let these children know the basics about gambling and what they should avoid as far as gambling is concerned. Whether we like it or not, this children will grow to become teenagers and adults. By then, they will hear about gambling from friends, older adults, on TV and on the Internet. This time they will get tempted to try it.

To a reasonable extent, parental advice is very important because it will guide the child's behavior for a long time and even until his death. Even though there may be modification to his behavior as he progresses, there are certain ethics about himself that he will never change. This is why parents' instructions are so important.  Where a child has been warned about the dangers of gambling, it will be difficult for that child to engage in gambling when he or she becomes a teenager.

You are right mate. Many parents will shy away from having sensitive conversations with their children because they think their children are too young to know most of these things. How do they handle themselves when they eventually get exposed to them as they grow? Early parental guidance forms the foundation that  determines the choices a person will make in the future. Gambling education should be encouraged instead of distracting the children temporarily. We can't distract children for ever.

Yes, a child receives the greatest education from the family. If the parents of a family give negative ideas about gambling, then there will be very few children who will disobey their parents. However, this will depend mainly on the environment. In many families, children do not listen to their parents very much, but there are many who definitely accepts every words of their parents. Nowadays, many children are learning various things from their friends, but still, those minor children whose parents take care of their children will definitely be able to refrain from it. Although not everyone will be equal, it is possible to get good results on the basis.
