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.

For gambling to be running in the family doesn't mean it is the right thing to expose a young child to it, it can impact the lives of the children negatively. First, the family where gambling is common should be investigated first. Is it positive for them or negative? Let's begin from there. I am sure that it can't be positive for them because we all know how gambling is, and if it is working for a few of them, most of them will have bad gambling records.

Even from the nature, gambling is not what a young child should be exposed to, that age is a developmental age that should be started with something productive for better growth in life rather than gambling. Gambling is a latter thing.
