Yeah.
I think these days technology is advanced more that other years back. So presently, all smartphones have a feature called parental guide, this feature helps parents to control their childrens phone 100%. This is a nice feature that helps all parents to protect their child from online gamble and other online activities that makes children and teenagers not concentrate on other important activities. A teenager who understands computers so well can easily clear up their browser history anytime they are done with what they are doing. A teenager who's engaging on gamble both online and offline line doesn't know the dangers in front. As a teenager, you don't work and unless the person is a street hustler, gamble is a thing that a matured minded person should do because there might be a loss that a teenager will have an will not be okay with it because he's not matured enough to handle gamble losses.

The first point is that parents must educate them about the dangers of gambling in their teens and the impact it has on those who will lose everything from educational knowledge and other things that are detrimental to themselves. This explanation must be explained firmly to children so that they must instill in themselves an attitude of vigilance and avoid gambling.

Educating them is not good enough, they will still become a victim of the sweet promises made by these influencers. Social media has been a medium to widespread gambling online exposures which also have a huge impact on young people to get involved. Their parents could help them but stopping them is quite a big challenge especially when their friends are already addicted to it.
For me, it is the social media platform to act firmly and regulate gambling posts.

However, I am worried that when teenagers use gadgets nowadays, they can access whatever they want and there are lots of online advertisements about gambling, so parents must monitor browser access history by synchronizing the history to an email managed by parents.

You said it right. All these things can't be resolved by their parents and in school programs. The government will also take action and these social media platforms help to guide viewers if possible. Importantly, casino owners must choose the right tool to advertise their products and services that won't harm young minds.

The problem with the government is that the gambling industry is becoming wealthier and powerful as well. And the government wants to make money out of them too which if the industry wants to government to make a law that will allow casinos to have apps and easy access by anyone, the government will just nod.

People are more concerned about their pronouns than the concern for the kid's environment these days. The gadgets will even have BTC-ready wallets soon, and it won't be long even our teens are going to adopt cryptocurrency.
