Exactly. You can’t restrict your kids or completely hide anything about gambling from them because one way or another they are going to interact with it soon. Be it with their friends or during their own time. When your kid reaches a certain age, you can’t exactly monitor or control everything they do anymore so the best you can do is hope that you’ve taught them well enough to be responsible and know better.

Teach them young about money and responsibility and as they grow older they would be able to do what is right without you having to monitor them 24/7.

It's very difficult to handle situations like this because she teenagers tend to be fast learners and they get to adapt to almost everything they come across.Achieving this is if parents restrict or controls the devices or cell phones from connecting and accessing gambling sites.
I think this gesture will go a long way for the children against illegal interaction and activities;because if parents cannot restrict their Children from gambling,it's neither the government.

From most of the ideas I think limiting a child's accessibility is indeed the best and most effective idea to prevent them from exposure to gambling, especially promotions spread on the internet or social media, on the other hand, yes I understand that the government should also intervene in this matter, but yes, especially in my country, the government has indeed implemented new regulations and also always conducts surveys to the community with the aim of reducing the population level of gambling exposure to a child who is still a minor but in the end it does not produce any positive impact, meaning that gambling exposure is still ongoing and even getting crazier and that means it is true as you said that we as parents should take action, namely by limiting a child's accessibility in terms of using a smartphone, none other than because only parents have full access to monitor and regulate a child's activities.

When I was teenager my friends liked to bet a lot and there was no control of age in betting shops, even though formally you had to have 18 years to bet. All of them have grown up in normal people. There is no problem in bettong but there is problem if ot runs out of control.

If someone have affinity for gambling they need to be protected being teenager or not. If it goes out of control it can escalate in mental illness and ruin one's life.
