Diversion is I think the best way to keep adolescent out from gambling. Sports, hobbies and other physical activities might help them divert their focus and develop their skills into something productive or even profitable. One factor that affects involvement of adolescent into gambling is influence so they really need to choose the right people so they will have the right path.

These are true but what if the child was diverted to other activities but saw some friends that are gambling? Someone can know about gambling from anywhere. I think parents needs to let children be open to them and the parents should be advising and be friendly with the children. Education is what that I see that is very important. There are some children that just play game and not gambling but they have fun. It is good to education children about gambling.

I think a good way to protect an adolescent who has already indicated interest in gambling would be to educate him properly on gambling, because you may not be able to completely stop them from gambling if they’ve already picked interest, except of course they haven't picked any interest in gambling. Adolescents are inquisitive in nature and the more you try to divert their attention from something or stop them from doing something, the more inquisitive they’ll become and if you fail to educate them, they’ll go seek for the knowledge elsewhere and if they eventually seek the knowledge somewhere else and gets the wrong information about gambling, it’ll be even more worse.

I think I agree with you in this matter,education is the key to educate adolescent about life and society in general. When education is in please adolescent will leave  a gamble free live, so adolescent abstaining from gambling is a function of education.I agree with you on this.

Parental involvement are more active than that of government, government can't entirely stop young teenage to gamble but parenting can careful monitor their child/ren on how to reduce the pressure and interest on gambling. A good parents should be able to monitor their children on their phones but it's not also that possible because at all times the parents must not be that close to the child since gambling is now accessible on from various device to gamble without the need to go to a local betting shop to gamble.

Everything you've mentioned can help, the government by restricting access and giving penalties to operators, the gambler's urge to gamble will be quenched, and a strong character of the indicidual lies so much on how the family raise a person.
So government and families are two of the strongest institutions that can help and strengthen the individual from becoming addicted to gambling.

The only effective way to put adolescent gambling in check is through education and awareness programs. A lot of young people are being deceived that they can get rich through gambling because they haven't been taught about the ripple effects and dangers that it can cause. The Nigerian government is somewhat inconsistent with it's systems to regulating and restricting those that are not up to the age of 18 to be actively involved in this, it's quite sad that teens of 14 and 15 years old are now walking into bet shops without being questioned, what do we expect from the next generation.

All of this will come to this. It's the parental involvement.

If the parents want their child to stay away from gambling, they will educate them what are the possible risks and negative effects of it. The parents will raise awareness towards their child on how dangerous gambling can be to a kid like him/her. As for the government regulation, I believe it will not help at all because there are still government-regulated gambling casinos out there so the kid can still gamble.

It all depends on the parents. If they don't want their child to get addicted to it, they must educate him at first place.

Parental involvement can play the biggest role in helping a child not become addicted to gambling, even in an environment where gambling activity thrives. There are people who became addicts to gambling simply because they had no orientation and no one to tell them the reasons why they should not gamble. These people have the bitter experience of finding out on their own, and now the problem is that they cannot stop gambling now that they are already addicted to gambling. Your involvement as a parent can help your child scale through this huddle by being involved in their adolescent stage and telling them of the dangers of some habits that they can potentially pick up, one of which is gambling.

It's a bit difficult, because currently, online gambling is very difficult for children to access, there are even many sites that don't care about their users who are still children. And although the government has tried to ban online gambling sites, in fact there are still many ways to access these sites. even more so, online gambling advertisements are increasingly rampant with the lure of such large prizes very easily.

Actually, in this case, the role of parents is very important, in how children use their devices, but once again, parents can't always supervise 24 hours, therefore, parental control on children's cellphones or devices is very important. it's just that, now even children are much smarter and more sophisticated in terms of technology, so they can understand better how to outsmart parental control. This is quite a blunder.

If online gamblers devs could provide KYC regulations with real-time ID photos to access the site, then maybe that would narrow down the possibilities. It's just that many online sites think more about the money they will get from teenagers or children.

Parental involvement can Indeed play a big role towards a child's attitude to gambling, but I don't think it plays the biggest role. This is because, not all parents are fully aware of the ins and outs of gambling, thereby would be unable to offer adequate guidance on how people should approach gambling. What do I mean by this? Most parents often have the society's opinion about gambling, which is that gambling is evil and should be completely avoided, which is never the right way to educate a child about gambling, especially a child that have gotten information about gambling. Children have an inquisitive nature and this makes them want to always try things they've just recently encountered, no matter how many time they're told to avoid that.

It is actually difficult to reduce gambling among teenagers, especially now that the internet is very easy to access anywhere, of course there will be more teenagers gambling without the knowledge of anyone including parents.

I strongly agree that the role of parents in reducing gambling among teenagers, the child is still under the supervision of parents, therefore there must be stricter upbringing and they must be able to monitor how he holds the mobile whether it is safe from gambling or not.

The average teenager already has a mobile, and this is the most dangerous where they can play at any time without the knowledge of parents.

To prevent teenagers from gambling, they should first be made aware of the dire consequences of underage gambling and also understand that a person should not gamble unless he can afford the funds to do so himself. Otherwise, there will be no success in his life.
Moreover, since gambling is a source of entertainment, we can present other things to them as a source of entertainment and make them interested in them. Of course they cannot be forced, they must be well understood. And they will automatically withdraw from gambling when they are attracted to other sources of entertainment.

There is a strong law against underage gambling, so the goal is not to expose them to the consequences of gambling, but to keep them from gambling. The energies that will be used to educate these teenagers on the dangers of gambling should be used to keep them away from it.

This is because the majority of teenagers will not stop gambling, and others will continue to gamble even if you warn them about the dangers of gambling. Therefore, efforts should not be limited to informing teenagers about the dangers of gambling, but should also include preventing them from gambling in accordance with the law.
