While watching TV with my kid, I've watched various advertisements of gambling nature (let's say for example, Rummy123, RummyCircle, A23 Rummy, etc.)
These are all specifically Indian ads, but I'm sure you may have seen various gambling advertisements, some banners at boundaries when cricket is ongoing, even in any other sport. How would a kid ignore those things, they might just come and ask you about what is it. Till when can we lie to them? Don't you think that the frequency of such ads must be less in order to let the kids not get trapped into gambling and don't do it at such a small age?

No, I don't see advertisements for gambling on television in my nation because it doesn't apply here. I do, however, see advertisements for gambling on Facebook and YouTube, and the truth is that there is nothing we can do to stop them—unless we ban our kids from using the internet or other technology altogether—to prevent them from seeing these kinds of advertisements. Thus, when our kids watch gambling advertisements on television, it could lead to them having unrealistic expectations about the possible gains from gambling. Because such advertisements for gambling, of course, often portray gambling as a glamorous and thrilling pastime and only highlight the potential for huge financial gains, leaving their viewers—especially the younger ones—in the dark about the potential risks.

It would therefore be ideal, in my opinion, if you could explain to your children that such kinds of games are intended for adults alone and that playing them could be harmful to them.

One of the things that our kids could be able to see those gambling related things is that they could be able to see it through online on which we know that on this era on which mobile phone is already considered to be a necessity into someones life on which there's always those chances or odds that they would really be that exposed with gambling and this is something that you should really be looking upon as a parent. You would really be that vigilant and really be that attentive if ever you've seen some potential gambling dealing in secret. Although you cant really be able to spot it out easily
on which it would really be that best that you should really make out those explaination into them on what it is,and on how to avoid it.

Although children today have become used to using electronics, we can still discipline them by setting up clear rules and limits regarding their use of the internet and other devices. Even if they are young, we can still offer them guidance and place limits on their screen time so that they will remember it as they get older. It is our responsibility as parents to discipline our kids so they don't choose the wrong road.
Yes, and by teaching our children about these concerns, perhaps we can assist them in making wise decisions and encourage a responsible attitude toward gaming. I believe that we can keep an eye on our children's online behavior and recognize any changes in their attitude that would point to a gambling problem. It is crucial to teach our children that gambling can result in addiction and can lead us to being broke.
