This is sad. But although these measures are not perfect, and maybe some of them can be interpreted as too lax by many or even as too strict by some, I think that they have some impact in children and teens in the sense that they help to decrease their gambling activity, to a certain degree. If that degree is 1% or 30% I can't tell, but I'm pro protecting minors, so no matter how little the impact is, I think it's good.
I agree with you, I think teenagers need to be protected from gambling, but you can't do it only with government bans. Parents also need to protect their children and take care of them. Gambling addiction has become increasingly common among teenagers in recent years, and it’s truly sad.
I think in this digital era it is very difficult to control the activities of teenagers, because just by having a smart phone and having an internet network, they can do whatever they want. Because anyway, even though the government banned gambling, the reality is that many influencers promote gambling themselves. Sure, many influencers have been arrested for promoting gambling, but the reality is that gambling itself has been publicized so underage children will still be able to access it. So yes, any rules to limit the age of gambling, I think it is never effective, because the reality is that the gambling industry itself also continues to increase.
Very indeed difficult even if you do say that you are really that making out such active checking or monitoring with your kids but still it wont really be totally assuring that you could be able to stop them on seeing into those stuffs that they could see possibly online including gambling. Somehow it is really that something more better in compared into those people or parents who dont bother on doing anything at all in correlation to this.
Our kids does really need out that kind of guidance from us parents if we do want for them to be on the right path on the way they do live on which this is something that us parents does really want for them. We dont want for them to deal up with something that could destroy their lives specially with gambling on which we know that this could really that wreck up their lives if they wont really be that careful.
This is why as much as we can as parents then we might not be able to make them avoid since we cant be able to monitor it out all the time but at least telling them about on what are the dangers about gambling and its possible effects on which with this then you do make them aware on what to deal up or not but of course it will really be just that still depending on a kid since there are really those who do obey their parents and there are ones who are really that curious and really wants to deal up secretly and this what really sucks bigtime on parenting period.
