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.

Kids nowadays are very inquisitive and they want to know everything and experiment what they see, not minding whether the outcome will be favorable to them or not. It is very easy to be addicted to gambling and being underaged where they are not yet financially independent, it is not favorable to let them into it. Gambling should be for adults that have the maturity to make responsible decisions while gambling, not for kids who are supposed to be focusing on their education. We can allow kids to play games on phones, I've seen kids that play puzzle and other games on mobile phones, so far the games are safe and doesn't require money to gamble, then it is not a problem.
