At what age did you start gambling and how was the experience?

Is there any benefit that comes with starting gambling at a very young age?

I'm a latecomer when it comes to gambling. I started serious gambling at the age of 19, heavily betting on horse racing, card games, and coin flips.
I already had a job so I can sustain my vice, so I can say that its the right time to be gambling compared to when you are gambling at a very young age where you have no means to support your vice, and it could possibly ruin your schooling because gambling creates a lot of interruptions in one's life, so its not a good time to gamble in your formative years.

OP: It's not the young person's fault, it's the fault of the society in which they live, then the culture and perhaps the first of all those I mentioned, family education. It doesn't matter where you are born, if your family influence is correct, you may have been born into the cradle of a gambler, but you don't have to be one.

At what age I started, I don't remember, it's not relevant for me to think about that... it's not how you start but how you finish.

Should not be surprised. Internet means things we could not dream of 30 years ago is available at your phone in seconds.

Access restricted? Kids all know about VPN now.

I officially started at 18, since that was the age I was allowed but I bought number games for my grandfather even when I was 12 and they allowed me to. Bad upbringing lol

Yes, the Internet now opens up any opportunities for teenagers, and then everything will depend on their upbringing and obedience. If their parents forbid them, or even better, can explain the danger, then this can keep them from gambling until they reach adulthood, but if they want to try, they will find a way. I tried it for the first time when I was an adult, because I was one of the obedient children. In my upbringing, it was always something dangerous, so I tried to avoid it.

Is there any benefit that comes with starting gambling at a very young age?

I am currently wondering where that kid's parents have gone or what they are doing! Their children is doing gambling at such a young age and where is this huge amount of funding coming from?
As you already mentioned that that child who does not do any job or has no source of income then of course that child takes pocket money from his parents and gambles from that money. I am really surprised that his parents are so irresponsible. I do not support gambling at such a young age and want to tell the parents of that child to wake up that their child is not going on the right path.

In fact, due to the ignorance of the parents of these children, The lives of these children are slowly going towards destruction, in this era, these minor children are gambling while their parents do not know anything, and due to gambling at this age, gamble addiction is being born in them from childhood, which will have a very negative impact on them in the future. Every parent should keep an eye on their child.
You are absolutely right that these minor boys who are gambling, where do they get the money to gamble, because they do not earn any income, that is, they gamble with money from their parents, but those parents do not keep an eye on any of their activities.
So first of all, parents should be aware, every parent should keep an eye on every activity of their child, and keep them away from gambling.

young age is very vulnerable in making choices because they still need parental guidance, if parents do not monitor their children, the result is that they will quickly become frustrated early because they cannot control emotional control. and it is very damaging to their mentality which still has minimal knowledge, and can be difficult to learn with experience because of the effects of gambling at a young age

Xup ladies gents, it's a genuine question..

At what age did you start gambling and how was the experience?

I started to gamble way earlier like elementary days around 8 to 10 years olds since Kara Y Cruz which is a coin flip game is very popular in my country that can be played on the street legally before. Anyone can bet so I become interested on it since it can increase my money that I can use to purchase more junk foods.

I’m not become addicted since I lost interest on betting when I lose my money so it scares me to play more.

I just fully commit on gambling when I graduated in college and earn on my job.

I think none. Gambling at young seems like not memorable moment since as a kid we have different preferences of having fun.

No, there is no benefit that comes at a very young age if that is about gambling. But they can get addicted to gambling easily than adult as their minds are not stable and can lose control anytime. They can angry when they lose and makes them to deposit more money from the money they got. That will not be a way to a good life from gambling because he will ruins his life in a short time. He must realize of what happens to him and needs to stop gambling immediately and search for the other ways that can help him to manage his life.

If he can use his money to invest in crypto while he can work in offline job, he will have a chance to change his life better. He will see that he doesn't have to use his money to playing gambling instead will save the money for his future. That will be better for him because he doesn't need to lose his money in the gambling games but he can have a better life.

Moreover, we, adults, have many obligations, because of which we cannot gamble with all the money. These obligations include: rent, our own or rented, family and children, possibly alimony, someone helps parents with money, someone just has excellent money management and saves money for the future. But teenagers and children do not have these obligations, so they often gamble and bet, forgetting about everything and losing everything to zero.

I think the opposite way. It’s very hard to be addicted on gambling if you are younger since you have a lot of social activities like hangin out with your friend that will make you busy and away from gambling. Besides young people has limited money to gamble that’s I bet that they are not easy to get addicted on gambling compared to adult.

People get addicted on gambling if they have no to less social interaction which boredom force them to gamble since they seek for entertainment. Most of adult has less social interaction that’s why they are the frequent victim of addiction.

When I was kid (early elementary school) there were many stores around me where they sell candies with a chance to win prizess such as toys, books, and some other things. It works like a lottery because the candies come with hidden number and if we got a number matched to prize, we win it. My friends and I liked to buy it almost every single day because we wanted the prizes and most of us did not care about the candies. Can we call it as gambling? Wink

If it can be called as gambling, so I started gambling maybe at 7-8 years old

Your comment has sparked a memory for me!

back in the day when I was around 8 or 10 years of age we used to buy what
was called a "Lucky Bag" with candies and toys in it. It was a simple paper bag
printed on the outside and sealed. They were massively popular, most had simple
contents, but there was a chance to "win" something really cool. Looking back it
was a form of gambling.

But it was when I was around 15 or 16 when I started betting on horse racing, all
my friends were doing it in the local bookmaker, the laws were a bit lax, we really
shouldnt have been allowed.

According to me there is no benefit to be addicted to gambling at a young age rather if it is attracted to gambling at a young age it spoils the roadmap of a student throughout his life. If a student is attracted to gambling while building his career, it will definitely destroy his career instead of building it. A student will continue to engage in various criminal activities to manage gambling money, which will destroy social order as well as cause various family problems. Moreover, a review of most of the crimes organized by most juvenile gangs today shows that they mainly engage in various criminal activities to manage gambling money and drug addiction.

I started playing, or rather tried to play for the first time long before I came of age. As, however, I tried alcohol. These were card games for money. To be honest, I lost quite often. I did not have any great excitement or attraction to games, and subsequently did not arise either. Rather, it was all for a pastime, to be like everyone else in the company of friends. By the way, there was no Internet in nature at that time, so everyone was playing for real. And, I admit, it was a lot of fun.

There's no benefit in it. It's just the spark of chaos in his life.

I started when I was 13 or 14 maybe, somewhere in those teens' life. It's a funeral here in our country where there will be a week of gambling outside their house to accumulate donations and help for the expense of everything.
I played the game called "Sakla" with my friend and he is the one actually betting for me while it's my money that is being used. However, he still asks me what or where he should place it first and then he will tell his suggestion afterward. It always ends up being his pick and we won most of the time.

Thankfully, we are not so hooked on that game, or else we will end up the same as that kid you mentioned. There are illegal gambling places in our neighbor where they run the same game even if there's no funeral happening. I may still be there if I ended up as a gambler until now.

I don't know the benefits, but I think gambling at a young age must be balanced with financial and psychological readiness. I know that young children can now access online gambling sites, but I'm sure they will only play with small funds. It could be from their savings, or from their pocket money.
I don't see the benefits, gambling is only for those who have strong finances. If you don't have your own income or still rely on other people's finances, it's better not to start gambling.

Does the kid even know what $8000 is.
The age and the money doesn't add up and even if they from a well to do home
Some of their expenses are accounted for.
I started gambling not quite long and because of curiosity on the feeling of losing and winning.
Though not often I do it now more as a form of entertainment and if it gets me rich
That's a plus.

I think I was in elementary school when I first tried gambling, but it was just a child's game, and I was probably only 11 years old. The gambling we did was "kara crus," as we called it, and the other was "Palmo," which was the 25-cent coins that we would hit on any wall so that it would roll back when it hit the wall or corner.

Then the only bet we made was only 25 cents up to 50 cents; that was the only system of the game when we gambled. But it's a different story that you told Op that around 8,000 dollars was lost just by playing gambling with a dropout student.

Middle school for me. I think that is the time when we experiment a lot, smoking, alcohol and even gambling. So yes, this for me is my very first experienced with my friends. And everything we go on the gamble, even the plate number of the approaching car.

So for sure many of us here have experience this kind of thing when we are still in that age range. Maybe that time, it was just for pure fun and entertainment. But nevertheless, it is the start of us becoming a gambler in the future, and that early age is the manifestation. However, there could be no regrets for us, as that what part of our childhood and looking back, that's what makes us today.

Xup ladies gents, it's a genuine question..

At what age did you start gambling and how was the experience?

You may likely want to find out why I am asking this question, well, today, I came across someone, a younger teenager who should be around 12 or 13, but he claimed to be 14, we got talking like we friends not minding I am very much older than him (my first daughter is 8 already)..

He's a school dropout, jobless, and claim to have lost over $8000 to gambling ever since he started, he's into crypto, so yeah, he said he plays mostly on crypto casinos online.

We've discussed extensively about underaged gambling on this board, but today, I was very surprised coming across this teenager who is already ruining his life with gambling at such a young age, I felt pity for him and very angry with him at the same time...
I asked if he has any investment in crypto or else where, he said no, that he is always gambling with any money comes his way... Is this a way to a good life?

Is there any benefit that comes with starting gambling at a very young age?

Although it may sound strange but it is normal for such incidents to happen, gambling at an underage age is definitely leading the boy or teenager to ruin his life. Because he is addicted to gambling at the age when he should be sitting at the reading table, his gambling is illegal because he should not enter into gambling unless he is 18 years old. The age of the teenager mentioned here is limited to 12 to 13 years old so young this teenager faced a loss of 8000 dollars just by gambling.
This boy made up for the lack of money either by asking his parents, or by taking money from his parents without telling them and then entered into gambling. Because the boy has no source of income and because of that he has not gambled with money from anywhere, his life is going through injustice. Very soon his parents should be aware to wean this boy from gambling or his life will be ruined for sure.
