I dont know how it all happened that you gambled too at a young age, but honestly the responsibility is on you to break this trend of passing it on to your kids and I think you missed that opportunity of giving your daughter to venture into other interests...just hope she does teenage stuff and mingling with friends and not staying indoors looking at a screen and gambling as a way of fun for them.

If it's tech she loves, why not shift her interests into forex/crypto trading and nobody will be mad about it.
Clearly gambling is a tradition in the OP family background, he started to gamble at a very tender age so it's easier for him to understand when he noticed that his daughter is taking to the tradition. My worry is that she is not up to the minimum age to gamble, atleast in my country you need to be 18 years and above to gamble. I don't advocate for encouragement of underaged to gamble but in the case of the OP since they start early his duty is to constantly educate and guide his daughter against irresponsible gambling. It is ok for a grownup to gamble so far they do so responsibly.
