I Stumbled on a news that "Betting Companies in Uganda Luring Students to lost their Futures" with fake bonuses and promise of big wins. According to the explanation, the time you use in the casino

Anything can affect a child's educational performance, we should not see gambling nas the only thing that does so, too much playing can contribute to poor performance, lack of balance diet and malnutrition in a child can cause a lot of psychological and emotional imbalance causing poor performance in academic, while gambling should be seen as a way of introducing series of games to children to play without money being involved, in other to help exercise their brain for more increased active participations, thereby boosting their brain and academic performance.

When those gambling sites are already been pointed at to be luring the children into gambling, it is something the school needs to take action on and not categorically stating other things that can make the student performance poor in the school. Those are all known facts and the government or the school management may have taken the big picture of it and finding solutions to that, those are general problems faced by any nation’s school. In this case, the OP stated what the gambling companies are after and how they’re making students been deviated from their studies and to the extent of using their tuition fees to gamble. That’s too much to say and these gambling sites should be regularized for such jurisdictions to avoid further harm to the students academic reputation.

It is not children but adults. The students are not from kindergarten, nursery, primary or secondary school pupils but university students so they are not children but adults. And gambling is not for children but for adults from 18+ years. So when you're making comments here in the thread carefully select the words. Any person above 18+ is no more a child. I have said it before and here again.

Sure that a university student is not a child that would look forward for other to always give an advice without making there's most of the times. However, gamble is not for kids which means only adults are allowed to try it. Although nowadays, some secondary school students are beginning to gamble but am sure some of them are more than 18+. Actually some of them do not have money on their own to gamble with. Some of the parents gives them the money they use in school but they gamble with it. Even though one is above 18 years and still depending on his parents, he shouldn't gamble with it because since he can not afford it on his own, it also means that he can not afford to risk it also.
