Nowadays, there are definitely more and more cases of children being attracted to online gambling. The reason behind children being more attracted to it is their use of mobile phones. When children use mobile phones and see various casino or gambling advertisements on that phone, children usually become curious enough to be attracted to gambling.

Moreover, offline gambling is very low and there are very few land-based gambling establishments here and there, which prevents children from directly participating in offline casinos or gambling. Moreover, there are no restrictions on when you can participate in online gambling, which is why young children are becoming more attracted to it.
No doubt for that because we know how those children attracted to online gambling. They can see gambling ads easily from their social platforms or other websites so that makes them curious and attract to gambling. They can visit the casino easily from the link on that ads so they can directly to start playing gambling. Curiosity will be the reason for them to know more about gambling so they will start playing gambling using their devices.

Those children can visit the online casino anytime they want and in their room without anyone know. So that will make them getting addicted to gambling easily and this is why parents need to concern about that and monitor their children carefully.

On what grounds do you conclude that gambling is currently attracting children? I am in contact with a lot of people and I have never heard any of them say that their child has a gambling problem. There are problems with some children being addicted to donating to various computer games, some are seen using vapes, but no one has ever told me that any of their children are addicted to sports betting, dice or slots.
You haven't heard or not been told doesn't mean it never happens, there has been an increased population in gambling activities compared to way back when online casinos were not as popular. Children knew it is very difficult to access physical casinos due to their age disability so by the time the internet access to these casinos increased it made it easier for them to access and gamble, of recently were many advertisements and love for sports have increased massively, most of the children are seeing gambling as something usual for themselves.
