As long online casinos and gambling sites are legal and easily accessible to everyone who owns or possesses smart devices and computers, teenagers and underages will always sort for ways and alternatives to gain access to them, regardless of the restrictions placed on those sites or their devices to stop or prevent them from participating in these activities.


Children and teenagers always have alternatives to be able to access online gambling and this is a problem that I think is difficult to solve. Teenagers can use the access of their parents or uncles or even other adults to enter online gambling that requires KYC. And another problem is that not all parents know how to use the parental control feature. Teenagers who play online gambling are teenagers who are not under the supervision and care of their parents. This makes them not know what is right and what is wrong, and then they become addicted to online gambling.
Teens should be restricted from using gambling platforms to play their bets. I could remember when we were small, we normally gambled but not to the extend of using money or going as far as online casino to play bets. Things have drastically changed these days and children now have access to the Internet which is good but they should be limited from using a casino or trying to play bets at a casino.
Sometimes the mistakes are caused by the parent. They may be want to be like their father, seeing him playing bets and being happy anytime he wins. Children might want to do the same thing that's why we need to be very careful and know how to exposed children into what they should not know about.
There also needs to be a more objective element when talking about parents as well as placing them as the cause for teenagers to start gambling, sometimes they also want to have more time to pay attention to the child but being busy in return for adequate materials and facilities is still more favored, they also just want to build a good environment for a family. In some cases, imitating parents is also relatively unreasonable. Obviously, at this time it is difficult to prevent teenagers from experimenting on social networks.
