The thing is that when kids want to gamble, it's not for entertainment for sure. They want to make money from it and money only is what interests them here. It's adults who can(and must) be gambling for entertainment purposes. That's why before you are an adult, you shouldn't gamble.
You're right that's just the problem with kids under the age of gambling because unlike adult they see gambling in different perspectives which they believe they could win alot of money from it and before there parents will realize themselves the child will be out of control because the influence gambling has on kids is that it could make them to start thinking about doing illegal things just to get money and gamble, which is why is very important for parents to established a good interactive relationship with there children because it will help them to watch closely on there children by asking them about there friends and the kind of stuff they normally discuss on there school, and with this we can easily noticed the kind of influence there friends are having on them.
In some ways adults also occupy lots of spaces amongst the list of addicts in the society. It's only tough for the younger people to escape gambling conversations, adverts, and news flying all around them. However, players also need to privatize their gambling activities both in words and action. Such things shouldn't be allowed around kids. The children are already prohibited from using such services. Hence, it's crucial that players also respect them and not lure kids into the game. When a person grows up and having seen the effects of gambling can go ahead to, decide and consider going into the game.
I think it can be done to prevent children from gambling, it's just a matter of awareness of the adults around them to talk about and even invite young people to play gambling, some neighborhoods can still be managed very well.
But the most difficult thing today is when the marketing of gambling advertisements is on social media, which children are already using social media today, even from starting junior high school or worse elementary school, parents must play a more active role in their children so that they do not fall into it prematurely, their age is still small and has no income and already entering gambling will be very bad for the development of the child, but on average what I see today is that parents let young people use their cellphones and never control them.
