Children shouldn't be allowed near gambling before a certain age but parents nowadays don't really care about these things, they don't even supervise their children after providing them with all kinds of facilities like electronic devices and internet connections and everything else they might need for gambling or being able to gamble. If they have a device with internet access and has money and also know how to access gambling platforms, what can stop them?

The only thing that can stop children from getting involved in such things is the regular supervision of the parents. They shouldn't allow them to always stay locked in their rooms and do whatever they want without even checking their devices to see what they do on them, such children will surely get spoiled.

This may seem complicated for parents who are busy and have jobs, let alone busy doing business, so they rarely see their children and are never involved in anything their children do. I agree with that that children should be prohibited from gambling before they reach the right age. relatively mature, let's say they can make money from work, not from their parents' money.

At least when gambling with the results of your work or your own money, I think it's a sign of maturity, it's difficult to supervise children in this technological age where everything can be accessed just using a cellphone, the most important thing is that they must be taught responsibility where what they do will always be there. risky, because to ban him from gambling would usually bring his curiosity to try it.

Educating their children from the early age is the least they can do if they are busy working. Making their kids responsible of every movement they make and making their kids understand the negative effects of gambling. Most likely, their kids can carry out the knowledge that their parents pass to them even when they are on the legal age.

Technology has their own advantage, Restricting some possible actions in the devices of your children is possible nowadays. I wonder if there's an application that can block known websites that shouldn't be accessed by minors like casinos.

Unfortunately, it seems to me that such devices never fully block the access to sites that are not intended for children. In every school class there is always a computer genius, the same age as your children, who, from an early age is knows well how to get around all these protections. Children and teenagers constantly communicate with each other and such information from this local genius soom becomes known to other children. Very often, a local computer prodigy is much better than adults in bypassing system restrictions. Therefore, the problem can perhaps be solved only if any gadget which can be used for gambling and other non-child activties (a phone, a laptop, a computer) is taken away from a child. Otherwise, no access limiting applications would help.

The concluding part is very good, no matter how much you protect a regular gadget from children, they might still find their way around it. Children discuss a lot among friends and some children's parents don't care much, a loose child could infest yours if care is not taken. Aside from that, there are children with wider gaps from their older siblings, those ones could tell them a whole lot of things or they naturally learn a lot from them at their tender age. As parents are trying to guide against all that, I believe it's good to hand over to your children the right gadgets at the right age. There are gadgets that are specifically made for children, they will not allow anything adult programs, that is my suggestion on the gadget concern.
