Episode Details

Parents are quietly enabling their underage kids to gamble online, using their own IDs to bypass age restrictions on regulated apps — a trend fueled by peer pressure and fear of missing out. Despite legal safeguards in places like Ontario and Alberta, teens are slipping through the cracks, gambling at home, school, or with friends, often with borrowed or stolen parent info. Some parents compare it to letting kids drink alcohol, admitting they’re worn down and feel compelled to participate. Kids are losing thousands, and even when parents shut down accounts, teens find workarounds — with some gambling companies already fined for failing to stop minors. With online gambling so accessible and heavily marketed, parents are locked in a losing battle against a system that’s not keeping up.
