How threatening is gambling to the younger generation?

[bitterguy28]

And they literally don't just play for fun but on the desires of making profits like a legitimate source of income and due to how mentally weak they are to take control of it, they get ruined by addicted gambling.

it says a lot about the environment a child has grown in if at such a young age they are already thinking about money i think it can be impressive if a child is economically and financially responsible at a young age but being greedy which then leads them to cheating their way through an online casino doesn't bode well for anyone imo

the access to internet must be reduced since if not from their parents they most likely get these ideas from the internet and learn all kind of things there if the parents are not paying any attention towards their kids this will be the result and it won't paint them as good parents and worse their kid might continue on that path and might grow old to be an addict whether that is through gambling or something else

I agree that we should limit kids to online access since the net is often the source of information/misinformation that lead to gambling addiction to some teens but i don't know how we can limit them since accessing the net is already part of the lifestyle of the young generations so i think the best thing we could do is teach them the risks involving gambling.

Parenting is always been a challenging thing for us parents yet not everything will really be that able to monitor out specially our kids on which accessibility on different things are already that too easy and not something that you could be able to filter specially that they do have their own phone. Even lets say that you do have that close monitor but still there are tons of chances that you do find yourself having being getting behind or missed out into those times or moment thats they've seen those things on which it is really that something that could really be able to influenced out. This is why there's no assurance that you would really be able to make yourself that be able to avoid it out completely.

For what length of time will you deny your child access to the internet or specific information? The solution is not to limit a child's access to specific information, but rather to inform the child of the risks associated with participating in the activity. When this is done, the child will not participate in the activity even in the absence of his parents because he is aware of the risks.

The significance of this is that the child will not be easily influenced by his peers to participate in such an activity because the warnings from his parents about the dangers of that activity will continue to ring in his head, causing him to refrain from doing so. The same holds true for gambling.

Restriction is never the best option but the only thing I think can help is the implication of doing it without applying cautiousness and people today do not know all these things from origin because if they do they would definitely knows and possible avoid some uncalled addiction that has ravage over the young teens and so adults within the globe.

almost too late to void the kid's addiction to the internet and tiktok. we're all worried about our kids access time extending all the time and what sort of website they are visiting. when these new generation are taking nude selfies uploading it on the internet and proud of themselves, we already know times are different.

its alarming to read the article about young boys in the school just talking casually about their bets on the sports betting site they joined. the easy access to apps through our phones speeds up the the gambling industry.  its always the progress of technology that can change the course of things. this is why even the AI development had been suppressed because they know its going to ruin industries but now its been released.

That's also truth I have seen that's kind of example in my eyes on around me. 
And even then I have also seen lots of topic that on the Bitcointalk forum regarding the schools student hiding their Android phone on their back and bring that to their school classes and even then they bunk the classes and play Casino game online on their phone. Casino Games are just a part of their I mean the new generations addiction there were  lots of others things like as you mention the play social media and also playing the online games.

You're right, now the thing is that students can become addicted not only to casinos, they can even become addicted to social networks, sometimes the casino doesn't have much to do with it, just that they can lose more money and that represents an additional problem for parents, the problem and crux of all this is that not only at the level of teenagers and children, those who study at university now have that type of addiction, to social networks, they care about having their phone better than any other basic thing, it's incredible.

You think AI would ruin everything in the industry as you may have observed it?
To me I don't think so because AI is just a tools encoded by someone which it's only working on sets of instruction given by that creator or builders, and if they aren't give the AI right information then there is chances of malfunctioning or giving out wrong sets of instructions.

If I say something about in current situation of our world we entered in the digital Era but the hard reality is most of the children and student were become addicted to the mobile phone and the internet and the video games.
Suppose you can check it by yourself like  if your relatives or you have a child then you will notice that even the child showing him in unrest situation if we  give them mobile screen they will be silent. And this is the real factor the  under age people are going to addicted to the digital device and after that gambling also. So  there is no other way the parent should be aware of this.

I don't see gambling being a threat to the younger generation, since they are not being forced to gamble, the only determinant to whether they are going to gamble or not is their respective choices or decision towards gambling and the availability of fund to use in gambling, aside these, they will be always excited to gamble, because this is what make people get excited about life and themselves by having fun,

[Asiska02]

Nowadays Guardians are very stressed for the young generation especially online young generation are more busy with Sportbetting. Hundreds of school and college students in my neighborhood are now more attracted to online gambling. Guardians are always under a lot of tension with their careers as Guardians can't handle them.

Do you think younger generations are in danger?

Certainly when younger generations begin to prioritize gambling more to their academic excellence and future goals, it becomes threatening to the society and their future. When children are sent to schools, the aim of their parents, guardians is for them to become successful in the future through their academic career mostly. The government will look up to them as he’s building a stronger future for them, leaders of tomorrow they’re called. But when they’re attached to gambling and see it as a way of success, it limits their thinking capability and may not allow them to think beyond which they should. Gambling can be an addict to them from a young age, it’s better they don’t get too comfortable with it from that time, it may be a catastrophe for them in the future if they do from now.

I don't see gambling being a threat to the younger generation, since they are not being forced to gamble, the only determinant to whether they are going to gamble or not is their respective choices or decision towards gambling and the availability of fund to use in gambling, aside these, they will be always excited to gamble, because this is what make people get excited about life and themselves by having fun,

I don’t entirely agree to that. As a young person, most of them that are not upto eighteen may not know which is right for them or wrong and when they’re being misled by peer groups or society, they’ll never get themselves back again. They may not force them to gamble but when they want to feel amount through gambling from young age and are not stopped, it won’t help them in the future as their brain are already glued to it and only see it as the only means of making money without having to stress their brain.

Just like the Asiska02 I would also like to disagree with your opinion. Because I think that the op of this topic mean by young generation is not only the 18 + adult people here the underage people also. And yes if those people play gambling what they should do on that age it will really a threat for them and now there are many young peoples and also the underage people who were being to addicted to it. So this mean the underage people and the young generation is going to danger day by day and that is why I think gambling is a threat for young generation while they misused it.

When someone cannot control themselves while gambling, they will be harmed by gambling. That is why it is better for adults to gamble because they can take good decisions in controlling themselves. However, the problem starts when someone gets out of that self-control. While many of the new generation can gamble responsibly, many have lost control and become addicted gamblers. There are many gamblers of the old generation who have lost everything today. In this concern adults will be able to recover from gambling addiction to some extent, there are many gamblers who have lost control over gambling. Gambling can be addictive in people of any age if someone cannot control it.

Moreover, in the case of gambling, there is an issue of money management which is not very easy for an underage person. Moreover, gambling should be done only when a person starts earning his own income. Because gambling should only be done when a person has the ability to lose as much money as he gambles, while most young people cannot afford it while they are students or underage. So gambling at this age is definitely not a good signal for the future.

Yes, you are absolutely right, the digital age has already begun, even children who cannot even read can handle a cell phone perfectly, and it seems incredible, but they do it, now they are more advanced, I actually have a 9 year old boy and a 3 year old girl, but I have the 9 year old in soccer and I make him play sports with me because the only thing he does at home is look for his phone or be on the PC and I don't like that, I have to supervise him a lot , Parents now give them their phones to entertain Themselves, badly done.
