It's sad to actually see underage children already addicted to gambling games,
But it's been unopposable, and some parents are also playing the same game, so there is no ban whatsoever.
Whatever the kids see to their parents, they're going to imitate it while they're young. And what's even harder is when they develop that habit until they grow up and that's the hardest part when they're already aged and can't removed that habit of gambling. All of the blame will go to the parents for not noticing that but I doubt it that they can't noticed that because when they're too stressed with what they're doing, they are not giving time to their kids and have some family time. That's why gadgets and stuff should have a screen time and limit for their kids to get monitored on what they do with it.
Because if they're going to give such limits, the kids that are seeing your actions as you gamble will also be dealt into addiction as they grow old and out of curiosity when they try to run an app of a casino and managed to see that you've got money there, they'll start to have that in mind that they can easily make money from it. But for them in order to make money, they need to steal money from their parents and have it deposited to that casino so they can start playing and making money. You know that the minds of the kids nowadays are tricky and innocent, they think what is right is right but on top of that, what they think is right is actually wrong and they're justifying it and dying to argue with what they believe is okay and right.
Whatever is the tree, and so is its fruit. So when parents are gambling, most likely children will also imitate what their parents are doing, and might be thinking that gambling is the best and the most effective way to gain profits. They will continue to absorb this mindset even when they get matured, and even when they have learned in school that severe gambling is not good at all, but deep in their hearts, they will still chose to gamble because even their parents have been gambling throughout the years.

This is a sad reality that children are the most affected individuals when it comes to gambling. Good thing if they can be guided by some good people around, and will correct their mindset about gambling. But if the environment they will grow are populated by gamblers, then it’s a sure thing that these children will definitely grow into addicted gamblers as well.
Yeah, most likely what they see from their parents or whoever is adult in their house will definitely have a place in their minds and they're going to do the same thing as them. That's why if you're a parent that has a concern to your kid, you should never allow them to see you gamble because if you do so, they will no doubt going to imitate your actions and that bad habits that they will develop whilst they're a kid will result into a terrible habit as they grow up.
Many of the children don't know yet what's good and bad, right and wrong and we as adults need to guide them so that they'll have the idea on what they're doing if it's right or wrong. Because without having that guide, they are for sure going to have a bad future and these habits will definitely pull their lives down and it's going to be a sad day when you realize and saw them that they're completely addicted. We don't want that to happen to any kid that we know especially if that kid is from our own.
