As a gambler can you help your parents do this?

[Didia Sofunichi]

Gambling is no longer a secret, every street or neighborhood you go to, you find lots of offline betting shops of different companies, infact betting shops are now competing with the number of churches around.

Gambling is now seen as something that is normal. We have seen cases where parents buy phones and ask their children to help them install some applications like whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram.

The trend made me curious to ask if as a child you can help your parents install betting apps on their phone.

Even if I were asked to assist my parents in downloading a betting app, I would act as though I knew nothing about it because I do not want them to know that I gamble. Since I know the risks associated with gambling, this is also to protect the family. My parents might be unable to control their gambling.

Because of this, they would always set aside money that could have been used for other family expenses for gambling, which would certainly affect the family's living standard. So, it would be detrimental to the family if I install a betting app for my parents after knowing that gambling can become addictive.

I mean I don't really care about what other people do with their lives including parents, so I would have them gambling app installed if they want to, I would probably caution them beforehand though about ill effects of gambling and then they can do as they please.

[electronicash]

when you are yet a child who hasn't learn the effect of gambling to a person and you are not going to be as smart as your parents yet. you might be persuaded by your parents to help them install apps. you won't be able to say no to them yet.

but when you are grown, probably highschool and have heard of stories of gamblers ruining their lives i'm sure you can already foresee what might happen later. you would be able to tell your parents don't start gambling now while your family is counting on you.

Aside from bank app and other social app I can install on my parents phone, I will not install any gambling app on their phone because I know how curious when there is something new on their phone, even the bank app sometimes scared but because it's something they use frequently, I just have to allow it, if wouldn't be funny if parents are addicted to something they don't understand.

At there age, gambling woundn't be for fun, they can get angry. It's better and safe if they have games on their phone, anything related to money I don't want to involve old people.

In this scenario, you are already a grown up that gambles and someone with a job. I'm assuming that at this stage of their life, your parents are only looking for more entertainment in addition to what they are currently doing. I don't see a problem with this. Just remind them of the dangers/risks of connecting these apps to their online banks or e-wallets.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes, there is no problem with that, anyone can help someone install any type of application, it is the best thing you can do, however things will always be Different when sold from the point of view that can generate controversy whether it is from a casino or not , the idea is that it is installed, not that you play, you start checking the app, less if you are a minor , some people may see that teenagers and those who are under age should not have access to these sites because they will Always get into trouble, it is not only advisable, but installing the app they can do so.

Below is my statement and summary about gambling that you have mentioned should you help me baba. As a child or parent, if you understand that any form of gaming or gambling can have harmful effects, then it is advisable to give proper advice. should If they want to use such apps themselves and you understand that it can be dangerous, you should try to warn them as well as make them aware of its harmful effects.

I don't think that would be a proper thing to do. Installing and supporting the use of betting apps can be harmful to children and parents, and can pose psychological and social dangers. In this case I would suggest that no one gives such encouragement.

Totally that unlikely that you will be seeing parents will be asking to install some betting apps if ever they do have that interest on installing then pretty sure that they wont really asking out into their children because we do know that parents doesnt really want nor like for their kids to know about betting. Instead on asking out into their kids they would really be rather be asking into their friends in regarding to this because they dont want for their kids to know that they've been dealing with betting but there were actually those parents who are that careless when it comes to this manner and just asking directly without having considerations when it comes into possible influence.

I first need to understand if they know what they are going to do and if they have prior experience betting online, because betting online and offline are two different things. You are literally teaching or leading your parents to gamble online, and they likely become addicted to it, I calculate the chances that they become compulsive and base my action there to help them install or discourage them from playing.

[Gurujebs]

They are indeed parent and guardians but I think they also have there own ways to make mistakes just that they won't tell you about it so it doesn't looks like they are making mistakes they are correction you about. It's not a good idea for person parent to be gambling because it wouldn't be funny when they are addicted, it will sound somehow advice an elderly person.

I will kick against gambling on phones with an app unless if it's going to be on my watch, you don't want to wake up one day and see your parents blame you for their misfortunes and loses, if you have manipulated parents, they will even blame you for their own action.

[salad daging]

In my country gambling is still considered illegal and when parents know their children are playing gambling then this will be considered bad, so so far I have not found parents to install betting applications unless in some countries that legalize it maybe it will be a different story.

If parents ask - then I will say this is a risk of losing money, the rest will not be responsible anymore.

[0t3p0t]

As their son who knows everything within the family I would never help them about setting up an account for gambling. We don't even have enough funds for things we need then why would I teach them to gamble right? Helping them getting involve in gambling is like a suicide because you are just creating a future problem.

[Baofeng]

Sure why not?

But you have to tell them that they don't want to be addicted gamblers are they are going to lose their money in the end. Just a warning for them to just play what they afford to lose and just enjoy it simply at that.

However, if you noticed that they are asking for money, then you need to do something here, in my opinion.
