Youth Program Teaches About Gambling

Some citizens in Ontario are worried about the possible introduction of internet gambling in their area, particularly because the Ontario government is now more open to the prospect by currently gauging the upsides and downsides of allowing internet gambling. Furthermore, today’s youth are inescapably more at risk of abusing the enjoyable experience of gambling, especially with the rapid proliferation of online casinos worldwide. However, responsible measures were undertaken by concerned citizens who know about gambling; a YMCA youth program made gambling awareness its primary advocacy to reach out to the youth. This program is designed to equip the youth with ample knowledge on the choices and risks associated with online casino gambling.

Kids may easily fall prey into cultivating false notions about the online casinos and internet gambling in general. Those who are used to playing internet video games understand that the chances of winning increases through undertaking more plays that further enhance their skills. However, the harsh reality of online casino games is that playing more does not automatically translate to winning more.

Renee Grenier, an outreach worker of St. Catherines YMCA, has pointed out that he is not going to judge gambling as bad or good in his session. Instead, his aim is for the kids to learn how to gamble safely. During the session, Grenier asks the children to think of a thing that is significant to them and write it down. He tells them that in gambling, the “thing” will be their stake with a “winner takes everything” setup. This provides valuable insights into understanding odds and value associated when playing at online casinos. As such, when the youth are exposed to real situations wherein their most well-loved things are those that they gamble: They are likely to think twice of giving up what is valuable to them.
