The Ministry of Health urges parents and guardians to take active steps in preventing gambling addiction among young people.

Key actions include closely monitoring children's digital activities and creating open, non-judgmental conversations about the risks of gambling.

It's vital to watch out for warning signs such as sudden financial problems or secretive behaviour.

Encourage healthy alternatives like sports, art, or other hobbies that promote positive engagement. If gambling addiction is suspected, seek professional help immediately.

Additionally, media outlets are encouraged to promote responsible reporting and raise awareness on the harms of gambling.
