Hey gamblers' community, hope you're all doing great.
I wanted to convey my message here that gambling in front of our kids may put adverse effects on their growing minds and they may also take the wrong path and start gambling (either by asking you personally for funds or by stealing it in order to fulfill their gambling cravings).

I'm sharing this because I saw this issue with my kiddo who was once watching me gamble at a website playing blackjack and she started asking me more about the game. Then one day, she wanted to play it herself and asked me if she can go for it and I said "no, it's not your legal age to go for such games". So, it's better to keep our kiddos away from gambling and let them focus on their studies, else it'd actually ruin everything for the whole family if the kid takes the wrong path.
Playing gambling in front of children is the same as teaching children to gamble because children are good imitators. So stop gambling in front of you because the impact will be very big on his education. Gambling is something that is not good, even for adults gambling can have bad consequences, especially for children, of course their minds are not smart enough to see the negative impacts of gambling.

Usually a child will do anything if he already knows or likes any game. For example, when there were still Playstation rentals, when children were addicted they would look for money in any way they could to get to the rental place, including secretly stealing money at home. Another example like today is playing games on a smartphone and getting addicted, of course this is also not good, especially if you frequently top up, they will also look for money in any way to be able to top up. Especially if they already know about gambling from their father, this will certainly have a bad impact on your child in the future.
