Just what can be done to ensure limited exposure of this kind?

It's hard to prevent something that is beyond our control, such as some of the points you mentioned in this thread. I look more at how the human resources themselves are, also how someone does not involve a small child to buy tickets to a gambling shop, even if only asked by their parents or whatever. There's not much you can do, especially like the points of advertisements on television or the like. Well, this phenomenon depends on how you behave, then prevent it for you and your closest family. How do you provide knowledge and understanding related to gambling, provide an understanding of what is allowed and not at his age, until a child reaches adulthood in responding to something. It doesn't mean that I'm skeptical of phenomena like the ones you share in this thread, it's just that the best steps we can take are applied to those closest to us. The problem is, we can't prevent something beyond our control, let alone influencing many people. At least what we can do is, starting from ourselves and our families. Provide an understanding of what gambling is, and when it is permissible to be involved in this type of entertainment.


I agree, only parents can provide an explanation about this problem, and only parents are the ones they will definitely hear, sometimes honestly I as a parent also find it difficult to control my child in exploring the virtual world, uncontrolled gambling advertisements are very easy to find on every site, here parents work extra hard to always supervise children under age so that they do not enter the gambling circle, both online and offline
Nowadays, children don't have to get permission from their parents to involve in some particular events. Peer friends can lure children to do what they are not meant to do. This is why children care is very important so that they don't go astray especially when they are used to making decisions on their own without their parents knowing. Going to your children can make them be a close friend to you and you don't need to force it. Children are always looking for a person they can tell their secret without getting attacked at the end.
