CHILD GAMBLING IN GAME
In this YouTube reel, Riddhi Deorah recounts a shocking incident where a 16‑year‑old boy in Hyderabad spent ₹36 lakh on a mobile game, draining his mother’s bank account. She explains that over 85% of online gaming platforms rely on microtransactions and loot‑based reward systems that create a false sense of achievement and activate dopamine pathways similar to those involved in gambling. Riddhi offers three concrete parental safeguards: never link a bank account or credit card directly to a game, play the game together with the child to gauge vulnerability and security, and gradually encourage daily offline and physical activities. She also promotes a detailed 10‑question quiz designed to assess a child’s mental state while gaming, which she will share via direct message to viewers who (1) share the reel in family groups and (2) comment the word “game.”
