What's striking the most of what Colby Cotrone said was that kids are unaware of what they are doing. Could it be that even the grown-up man may also not be aware of what he is doing as over time a gambler may be consumed by how much he enjoyed the thrills of gambling?

They think they are doing something as simple as rooting for thier favorite players but it's turned more into making money than the game and having fun as a fan. - Colby Cotrone

And would you agree with him in implementing gambling prevention education in schools?

Implementing gambling prevention education in schools, to me is never the best solution when it comes to gambling and other vices such as smoking & alcohol, but rather teaching these teens about the advantage and disadvantages of gambling is the best solution ever, because you never can tell, a child who was prevented, can travel to a certain area, and turn to an addict, simply because he/she wasn't told the basic advantage or disadvantages of his action. Hence, if we make education about gambling a priority, and how it affects the society both positively and negatively, I'm sure there are teens who are also likely pick a side with the knowledge acquired.

Secondly, if massive jobs are created, most teens you see today gambling won't gamble, as more than 50% of the teen you see today, gamble for survival. (I.e For basic amenities such as food, shelter and clothing)

What you are saying is correct, but whatever the government wants to implement to ban it for any good reason, it is for the sake of the teenagers at this age that we actually have. I also agree that it is better to teach the cons of gambling to teenagers.

At least they can see the effect that is not good when a person is addicted to gambling because of the addiction developed in the person who enters the online casino. or Why not implement in schools that when it's class time, cellphones are left in their lockers, then when it's breaktime or when class is over, they can use their cellphones again? At least in this way, they can stay away from such gambling apps.
