I don't have the best answer to this but I think your children has to be more exposed to skillsets, hard work, career paths and other straight profitable vehicles first and be guided to thrive in it against starting off gambling. It does not mean that you are a bad person since your daughter is gambling, but I hope you are guiding her properly. Gambling addiction feels more messy when the culprit is a female. My Little niece gambles too, but she would never fund her account with her own money, always bugging me to fund for her, at least she's a hair dresser and doesn't want to fund from her account for fear of going broke. I am proud of her for two reasons, firstly she has a paying skill and secondly she is trying to moderate her gambling activities.
