Re: Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

What is your say in this critical issue against gambling companies?

If a gambling company is proven to be targeting student players, it must be dealt with.
There are standard rules that gambling companies must abide by, one of which is the age of +18.
If the company has implemented all the rules including +18 but the users who register to play do not prevent it, I think that's the problem.

I think there are still many student players who are not +18 who play without the knowledge of their parents. If the casino enforces KYC, it can be avoided because they don't hold an identity card yet.

You have a point but I don't think that gambling companies take students to be their main target, they are just running a business and they are not responsible for anyone's personal gambling activities. People who gets addicted to it are not being compelled of forced, it's a personal decision. The only way to make sure that students don't get tempted to gamble is if they avoid setting up centers close to school environments

Now most of the gambling is organized online. Now people do not want to participate much in offline gambling because online gambling is safe and perfect in every way, so people of all classes are now leaning towards online gambling. As you said, setting up centers near schools should be avoided, but they may not participate directly here, but they can participate in gambling through mobile devices without the knowledge of their parents and teachers, and to stop this, every parent must be aware, keep their children away from mobile phones and keep them under observation most of the time. If parents keep an eye on their children, then I think every child will follow the right path and will not take the wrong path. In our society, children are led astray due to the lack of security of parents.
