As a gambler can you help your parents do this?

[milewilda]

That is really fair. Our parents are adult already. They definitely seen more and experienced more that we in our life. Talking to them about addiction, self control and so on is no use. They already know everything about it. They only lack "digital experience". Our generation are mastering that knowledge much easier than their. So they require only a little help from us. I would help them if they want to have gambling app installed. This is kind of "reinstalling or fixing Windows" problems that they ask from time to time.

There would really be these doubts on which this is really just that normal because we are really that trying out to protect them about potential addiction on which it could really that happen and despite of being that an old and experienced people is that that they are still that prone to mistakes and potential errors in despite of being that old and experienced ones. Its really that important that if ever they would really be that requesting then its better to tell them about into those potential issues but sometimes we will really be that hesitating on doing so because they are far mature than us but its true that due to lack of digital awareness and knowledge on which this is why they do have these kind of lapses on learning up.

It is normal to have such thoughts at any given point especially when we are trying to shield other people from the dangers that they may encounter. Being at a senior level or having worked for many years in organisations, one does not become immune to making errors particularly when it comes to things that are relatively new in organisations such as digital technology. Offering the information gently and explaining it to them to the best of their understanding will enable them not to lose their respect. We can try to solve it with understandings that learning process is not always an easy task for each person. Supporting them may assist them to overcome some hurdles in their line of tasks and duties without feeling depleted in the process. This creates a good rapport essential in developing a healthy relationship with other parties.

I doubt a parent will do that even the gambling is legal in a country because as kids they should not be exposed to gambling environment so being a responsible parent is not to do such mistake. Gambling is becoming very popular but it doesn't mean everyone should do it especially the ones we found in the mobile app stores cause they are mostly rigged and selective scamming the users, if you want to gamble then just pick the regulated and legitimate casinos.

I do get what you’re trying to say but I don’t agree 100% with your assertion. While it’s true that our parents are most likely to have more knowledge and experience on certain areas of life, including gambling, it’s also important to understand that the gambling world is ever evolving and a lot of things are coming into the system every single day, things that were never there before.

Speaking in gambling addiction, even if we could assume that our parents may actually know or have more experience than we do on this gambling addiction issue and thereby feel no need to talk to them about it anymore, it’s important to note that online gambling carries a whole new totally different vibe and experience, compared to the regular traditional form of gambling. Online gambling has potentially increased the convenience and accessibility of gambling, and while this is good as it has improved gaming experience, it has also made gambling more addictive too, which was never so in the olden days, therefore I believe there’s every need to remind them of the dangers of online gambling.

Can you install betting apps for your parents if they request?

Yes, I will.
They're adults already. They know already what's wrong, and what's right.

I'll let them experience gambling because I believe that they will decide on what they will do in the future once they experienced it first-hand. From there, there's a chance that they will continue gambling which is a bad thing, or they will stop gambling once they lost a significant amount of money.

At the end of the day, we already know that consequences of gambling that one person can experience so if we see that they've already lost consecutive times already, I guess it's time for us to step up and say to them to stop gambling or they might lose more money along the way.

Assuming they do, then as a child we would go and counsel them. No one wants to see someone close to them get into addiction. I mean when someone gambles, there is a concern that there will be an addiction eventually.

But as you said, the chances of that happening are very small. Before they ask us for help, I think they will try to ask someone else for help first.

I think that no matter how much gambling spread, if any parent is aware, they will never raise gambling-related issues in front of their children. Because those children can be addicted to gambling. But if family members are adult enough or established there is no way to ignore it if the parents of those families want to use gambling as fun. In that case, considering gambling as fun, their parents can be helped to install a gambling app or gamble.

Can you install betting apps for your parents if they request?

Of course, why not. My parents are already old and if gambling will make them happy and healthy for them to have fun and live longer, I will happily do that. If an old man wants to gamble, you should know that he was once a gambler. Old people wouldn't gamble for profit, rather for fun because they understand what gambling is for.

I think it will be seen as irresponsible in the part of parents to tell their children to help them out in things like gambling as it will paint a wrong image about the parents because no matter how chronic a person is into gambling they will always hide it from their child as it will make the child to have them in high regard. So I can't help my father or mother out when it comes to gambling related activities as it's not morally not ok because the fact is that there are things that you do that the value and respect given to you by your children and even society will drop

Gambling is an unnecessary expense it is beyond what we need and want so there is nothing wrong with considering it as bad even from the financial point of view. But if they are into gambling and knows how to be responsible with gambling then I won't hesitate to introduce them to the crypto gambling cause the chances of them end up in scam sites are higher if they do it on their own.

The 18 years age requirement is done for valid reason, no kid should be expose to gambling at the age lower than that because of irresponsibility that comes with it later. Your kids will not forgive you when they grow up because you forget to play the role of the parent. Some people are saying the kid might grow to become a better gambling but been irresponsible gambler outweigh the responsible gambling at under 18 age.

Even at thag age, I think children should be monitor, it's your duty as a parent to let them know but don't force them when they are old, there is nothing bad in correcting your children when you think they are not on track.

It is true that most of the elderly people do not have idea on how to operate mobile gadgets hence they mostly patronise the land casinos because that is what they can easily get access to without having any issues as it would be difficult for them to do anything online which they a not knowledgeable about. Another aspect of it is the aspect of transaction and that would be very cumbersome for them to handle so they would prefer to go straight to the casino to pay cash in hand or which ever way best for them so as not to have anything to bother about transaction but with time, more innovation as it relates to technology that could be able to accommodate the elderly when it comes to online casino might be developed so that the elderly ones can be able to have a taste of how the digital or online casino works.

It is very true, but these things can work for them, I had a friend who didn't even know how to turn on a PC and I remember that he went to university and after I arrived I would go to teach him, little by little he learned, I had patience with him, but over time I realized that he began to master many tools, of course he practiced, sometimes they write down the steps they should take, over time they learn, so I think that as they advance they understand the risks they face, that's how it is.

Each phase of learning requires time and to assist an individual in the development is time well spent. It is unbelievable that when a person has the chance to attempt something is not wrong at the beginning of this attempt as it is the way towards improvement. Though some people are born talented , they cannot start making improvement right from the onset; however, once they commit their heart and soul in practise, they can achieve far much more than what is naturally inborn in them. It is often hard to recognise the process of change, but, having come back to the beginning point, people can clearly see that the effort made was worth it. This is the way through which one is more confident enough when confronting different challenges in future incidences.

From all you have said, patience is a factor that we need to consider when we volunteer to help someone learn and pass through a process, it is done so that one can be able to properly assimilate what you are teaching them and in other, for them to be perfect, they would have to take their time to learn that process very well which you will have to be patient with them.

People are indeed very fast and quick learners, those sets of individuals make it very easy for the learning process to speed up because their receptivity is very high and that would ease the stress and burden on whoever is teaching them and in return would be patient with them to learn the process as it suits them.

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.

Have your say

Can you install betting apps for your parents if they request?

Why not, is gambling illegal or immoral? i will proudly do it for them once i detect its something that they like to do and can get them engaged, if i can do it and feels alright in doing it, then why is theirs an exception, they even have to do it more than i do, just to be able to get them the required fun needed, because i have learnt that gambling creates and atmospheric condition of learning and having fun, which will be of a great benefit for them at their own age.
