Online gambling is already a pretty debatable topic for many. While the subject has some pretty vague aspects, most popular streamers are stern about their anti-gambling views. Content creators like HasanAbi have repeatedly talked about their disapproval of gambling and why it shouldn’t be promoted by famous people. On the other hand, others believe that gambling can be a good life lesson for people and that people should learn from their own mistakes. However, the impact of online gambling on younger generations can be a sensitive topic that should have some delving into.
In a recent Twitch stream, Tyler1 made his views clear as to where he stands when it comes to young folks and gambling.

With internet access being a common thing nowadays, many have raised concerns over how this can attract young people into gambling. There have been countless instances where young adults have bet high amounts of money through online gambling sites and lost it all. While the children are obviously to blame for their direct actions, the role of the parents has also been questioned by critics. In a recent post from Twitter, streamer Tyler1 can be heard on his views about the issue and how he thinks bad parenting is a major reason for more young people to gamble.

In the tweet, Tyler1 says he is not a staunch anti-gambling person. He understands that people are different and gambling can be a sort of an escape for many. However, he says, “My philosophy on gambling is if people are stupid enough to gamble and lose their money that’s their own problem“.

Tyler seems to have more opinions on the matter of kids gambling. “If a kid is stupid enough to take their mom’s credit card then number one that’s bad parenting and they should do better“, Tyler seemed pretty straight about his perception on the issue.
He also said that such an experience can be a great life lesson and the loss can teach the kids to not get into risky gambling again. While this does seem like a pretty good argument, we’re sure those who’ve lost the money will have something to say about it.
