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.

Whether they are your kids or not don't do this in front of them because kids emulate whatever adults do, exposing them to this lifestyle at that age might just ruin their future. That's why there are age limits and restrictions, I don't know if casino are still strict with the rule of stopping anyone not up to the age of 18 to gamble. Children are the leaders of tomorrow we should teach them valuable lessons about life. It's quite disheartening that a lot of children in Nigeria now know how to gamble
Like the saying that says what ever you don't like you shouldn't do it to anyone because of someone did it to you, you won't like it. Yeah whether your child or not it's not good to gamble when they are around you as they will not hesitate to try same thing in future or immediately you are not with them. Children are very observant and they leans so fast because at their age they do t have anything bothering them so anything they see is what they will want to try. Most children like money so much and if they sees anyone win from gamble they too will try because they have already seen how you won your money.
