Honestly, I am very concerned about incidents like this but there is not much we can do to stop them and only self-awareness can stop or control these gambling activities.
Maybe if there is socialization and also educational services for youth it can put more pressure on the increasing number of gamblers classified as teenagers or students who are currently mushrooming in every country.

At this age a gambler cannot be identified unless he reveals the matter himself because a gambler is getting all kinds of benefits from sitting at home. If a gambler realizes on his own that he may be addicted or has pushed himself into a hostile environment from which he needs a way out, he will find a way to control himself there if he can explain addiction well to those gamblers. We should remember that no gambler can be forced to turn away. If they are adults then definitely they can come back by realizing these things.

They don't seem to be able to have self-awareness and it will be difficult to tell what is really going on because they are definitely afraid that their parents will find out that they have a serious problem, namely gambling addiction or worse, becoming an addict.
Although this may not be accepted by parents when they find out, they can even be angry, but being honest to say that this is an interest and really must be done so that he can immediately be helped out of addiction problems.
Let alone those who are still teenagers, even adults will be ashamed and will never want to tell others about their addiction.

It's absolutely unwise for a financial dependent to gamble and should be condemned by anyoone who's around such person. Over the years, I've seen very young people who are still surviving with the financial assistance of their parents or guardians use money that was meant for something very serious like school fees, money meant hospital bills and sometimes money that was given to them to go and buy food items using such money to gamble.
They end up losing the financial trust of their parents and guardians because of their very silly decisions to gamble with those money.

There are lots of young people who are also students who are fond of gambling and of course most of them only rely on money given by their parents to be used for gambling while their parents give the money to meet their needs as students or school pocket money.
It's a shame that those who should be the next generation actually like or worse become gambling addicts, indeed there are some children who can make their own money such as starting a business because where I live there are quite a lot of young people who are still in school starting to learn to do business to make money but if they are already familiar with gambling then I can ensure that it will be difficult for them to develop, especially to develop a business that is being pioneered.
There is no way that can be done to stop these youths and the ease of accessing gambling sites actually makes them feel as if they are being facilitated by existing technological developments.

Honestly, I am very concerned about incidents like this but there is not much we can do to stop them and only self-awareness can stop or control these gambling activities.

What you're describing is a disaster waiting to happen! Youth gambling? That's opposite sportspeople's discipline and dedication. Instead of practicing hard, putting in the hours, and striving for perfection, they're gambling?

They dump money for education and basic needs into the gambling pit? You're telling me people are creating businesses in this mess? If they have the gambling bug, those enterprises will collapse. Hard.

The internet makes it easy? Yes, it is! It made my success easy, though. All about choices. Let's be honest - if kids can't resist gambling, how will they handle real-world challenges? Socialization and education may help, but I'm not optimistic.

Now that's the fear that I might have felt when I saw or heard that children who were underage were starting to get to know gambling.
They will definitely get negative impacts and of course the problem of gambling addiction will be a difficult problem for every child to develop until he succeeds in becoming a better successor.
Wrong action in taking is a natural thing to happen but when the mistake is due to entering into gambling then it is really worrying.
You know all the conveniences you can get to be able to gamble so that everyone at all ages can easily access it without any difficulties.
