This is definitely a pretty big danger for a young boy or girl with a weak mind. Most likely, wise parents, even if they are very busy at work, can control this issue by simply asking the teenager at some point what he knows about gambling. Or even playing a little in his presence. And accordingly, from the answers of such a teenager, you can understand how involved he can be in gambling, which he deliberately hides from his parents.
This is, of course, a provocation in a sense, but it is fair, especially if there is a danger of the teenager developing gambling addiction in the future. Overcoming addiction in any case will be an order of magnitude more difficult than preventing its occurrence.

Yeah, there are several ways that parents can actually monitor and observe their children’s gambling habits. Children are very inquisitive and quite sensitive too. So when a parent eventually observes that their kids are into gambling, some parents would feel like the best solution would be to completely dismiss their kids from such activity, which isn’t always possible, it will only make them stop doing it in their presence but secretly, they’d still be doing, which is even more dangerous. So rather than trying to stop them, it’s important to rather educate them on the dangers of gambling, as well as the risks associated, as well as how gambling should be initially approached, this way, they could avoid having the general misconception of gambling that’s mostly destroying most gamblers today.

You are right, that's one of the best way to handle such situation and another is to keep a close eye on them, monitor their devices because like you said, some kids can secretly be using their device to gamble online without the attention of the parents. Another thing is to keep a very friendly and open door relationship with your kids so that, if they actually go online and see some of these misleading gambling advert and videos, they would have to ask you (their parents) what it's all about.
