There is the case of increasing number of underaged gamblers, will you still teach your little kids to gamble?

The answer will be "no" for most users, but truth is that in reality, most parents who gamble teach their kids indirectly to gamble without knowing, how?

for Sports betting - You indirectly teach your kids to gamble when you leave open your online betting slips, and drop carelessly within the reach of the underaged your offline slip if you didn't bet online. Kids are very inquisitive and take cue from their parents and guardians easily.

You indirectly teach the underaged to gamble when you speak freely and excitedly about how you their parent or guardian placed some bets, visited a casino to have some fun and so on. (be careful what you say around the underaged, they learn quickly especially from someone they look up to.

You also contribute to the increasing cases of gambling when you hide answers about gambling from the underaged when asked. If your kids or any underaged around you becomes too curious about gambling, educate them and let them know the perils of underaged gambling and why it is for adults, answer their questions and clear their doubts, so they don't go find out about gambling themselves.

kindly bring to our notice other ways user's have unknowingly contributed to the increasing number of underaged gambling, so we can take corrections and make amends where necessary.

Although they will learn it eventually when they become teens, it's good to remind them before it grows in thier mind that gambling is a source of income. Even the greatest high rollers in the past have to retire due to losses.

The internet is introducing a lot of things and parents may not keep up when kids are using gadgets. A constant reminder still for us who have kids using the internet. I'm considering giving my kid just an old phone not meant for browsing but he'll also be behind in class because the teachers today are also asking them to search using thier phones. It's like teaching them how to use google.
