Don’t Let Your Kids Gamble, but have a go at Full Tilt Rakeback and Reap the Rewards

Christmas is coming and with that comes the gift shopping. For many it has become an easy gift choice to purchase a lottery ticket to give to either a family friend or a relative. It is a great solution for an affordable fun gift that is easy to send in the post so it is understandable why it has become such a popular option. This holiday season the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission has issued a reminder to parents not to buy their kids lottery tickets.

Nowadays it would seem that many parents are buying their children a lottery ticket as a stocking filler. Scratch cards have become an extremely popular gift for parents to buy as they are readily available, affordable and easy on the eye. The Alberta Gaming Commission has made the valid point that not only are these scratch cards illegal for children, but they can in fact be detrimental on their health. Lynn Hutchings-Mah from the commission says, “We wanted to catch their attention with the slogan ‘Santa doesn’t bring kids lottery tickets’ with the implication being that neither should you.”

The reason they have opted to focus on this campaign is that many studies now show that people who develop problems with gambling usually have exposure to it from an early age. It also shows that kids who gamble are far more likely to become gamblers than adults. Research has been conducted that proves that the younger a person starts to gamble, the greater their risk for problem gambling later in life. And so that of course is a concern to us and would be a concern to parents.”

It is easy to forget that it is actually illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to play these scratch cards as they are appear so innocuous. In Alberta, recent studies have proved that one third of teenagers in the area have illegally played a scratch card. The message is to be posted in shops and in an ad campaign and it is hoped that parents will go back to giving chocolate and toys as gifts rather than these potentially problematic gambling cards.

Of course, Christmas isn’t just for kids, and gambling rules don’t apply to us adults so if you want to treat yourself to the best poker gift on offer Rakeback gives you a return on all your online play at all the top rooms. You could also give Full Tilt Rakeback and Pokerstars Rakeback a go and try to recoup some of the money you have spent on the kids this Christmas.
