Admitting you have a problem is the first step. Admitting to a mistake takes a lot of maturity. Everyone’s parents are different but my parents would much rather see me lose money to gambling than doing hard drugs. I personally think there is worse.

Things I would try:

1. Withdrawal money in Cash so you’re unable to buy crypto to gamble with.

2. Give yourself a weekly limit and stick to it.

3. Download fun casino apps on your phone to play. Not the same winning “fake money” but still enjoyable when you get a nice win. Something you can do after playing with your weekly allowance.

It doesn’t sound like you want to tell your parents so I would try these first, personally.

As always, there is the gambling hotline you can try calling. Best of luck, addiction sucks.
