Topic: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? - page 16. (Read 4992 times)

this is so true!

As an organization that would want to protect it reputation, it's just normal for them to set out age bracket of people that are emotionally matured enough to engage in gambling activities but at the end of the day it's just left for the individuals to decide if they will stick with it or not.

Most movies that are outrightly written 18+ end up being displayed on cinema for both the younger once that are below that age bracket and no one is suid for it. I personally feel that at 16 someone is matured enough to engage in gambling activity as long as he or she is psychologically matured enough to deal with it ups and down.

It is true that young people are being exposed to adult lifestyles at a much younger age than ever before, due to technologies such as social media and the internet. However, as you mentioned, parents should provide advice and support rather than pushing their children away or being unduly strict.
 I believe that one of the most essential things parents can do is have open and honest conversations with their children about the internet, social media, and other parts of adulthood. It is critical to assist youngsters comprehend the potential hazards and consequences of their activities without being unduly harsh or frightening them. Parents can also set an example by using technology and social media responsibly and respectfully.

A company will always want people to gamble more in their company. It is up to them to see who is gambling under the age of eighteen or above the age of 18 and not only in cases where they do not have any legal complications, they only give some instructions so that they can raise the matter if ever legal complications arise. If someone under 18 gambles it is their casino's profit and if someone above 18 gambles their profit they never want to be deprived of that profit. For example, on cigarette packets, there are pictures of cancer-prone places or writings that smoking causes cancer, but people who smoke still buy cigarettes after seeing those pictures and writings. Companies can't use anything good on cigarette packs because it's illegal. Also 18 plus casino only instructs that this casino is only for 18 plus people now playing under eighteen years or people above 18 years playing it is not much of a concern to them.

Theres no restrictions if you know how to play or not reason why there's a tutorial board or How play offering in every game so they are welcome to the newbies who would like to play in their casino, it's the same as the outcome there's a winner and the loser. The difference just people gained more experience and knowledge on how to win the game, and strategies to win against the game or against their opponent.


Young ones don't take too much care with their addiction because they are still young, curious and would like to explore more, but of course, young age must have guidance so they do not lead in too much addiction to gambling.

And this is very bad and wrong. It turns out that the casino easily turns a blind eye to the fact that children have the opportunity to play there. Often changing your life for the worse because of addiction. Casinos only have money and they don't care who and at what age comes to spin roulette and play poker. I'm talking about a casino without verifying the identity of the players. I understand that regulators monitor this and take measures to ensure that young players do not have access to such services, but as we all know, you can always find what the user wants to find on the Internet.

What you said is true. Underage teens shouldn't try to be smart by engaging themselves in gambling activities because it might affect them in future. They will be vulnerable to addiction, because they have not understand what gambling is, and even though they understand, they would not be able to control themselves on their gambling activities.

Teenagers, have this youth exorbitant in them that will make them want to do everything they see, and they would not care about the consequences attached, because they don't have matured brain resist it. Most of us in the forum that gambled early became addicted at a point of time, that made us do so many nasty things to enable us gamble, because we thought that gambling is for making profit.

But the problem is that the rules or recommendations or orders are only written, in reality I don't see this as a rule that is obeyed. Maybe if it comes directly to online casinos, this rule will be applicable, but if the casino is based online who guarantees that this rule will be carried out? I will not blame the casino, because here it is very clear that they only seek profit from the players. I also won't blame children under the age of 18, because after all, they might be curious because of the rampant advertisements about gambling that are very tempting.
In this day and age almost all casinos have online casinos, and that is actually the beginning of the problem, at the same time children under the age of 18 are also good at using gadgets, especially now that there are also many wallets that allow children to have their own banks. Parents are also not to be blamed entirely, although they may keep a close eye on their children's behavior, but in this day and age children are becoming smarter to trick their parents. One way is that the government must be present as an arbiter, they must be able to make policies that will minimize things like this, indeed this is difficult but not impossible to do.

Anyone could engage in gambling because luck can be on anyone's side. The main reason why they say gambling should be 18+ is the fact that at the age of 18, it is believed that a person can control his emotions, knowing what is good to do and what not to do. And also, it is expected that the gambler is responsible for any actions he takes due to the outcome of the gamble that propelled him to take those actions. You know, at the age of 18, crime charges and so many other things would fall on you because you are no longer a kid anymore.

There may also be rules about gambling that can only be done by people over 18 years of age. In my opinion, gambling is a gambling game that requires broad insight and reliable playing techniques, such as card gambling or poker gambling. There are systems that require a high level of intelligence and experience. Many people will enter this type of gambling if they are not equipped with the right level of intelligence or technique, then I'm sure they will often lose, but when compared to slot gambling, I don't think age is a guarantee for entry. . That's because nowadays even those under 18 years old are smart. play slots because they are curious from the start and keep trying to play them so that the frequency becomes a habit so that it is easy for them to play the slots they want, but here the winning results are determined by the system so we cannot guess. . .

As long as no one cares about the movements of a newbie, I don't think experience is a barrier at this time. Many people can gamble online and they take their own steps. Even if someone else loses, it won't make us lose. Yes, because there are many types of games available on casino platforms, I think gambling can be done by anyone without experience.

I took the example of a slot game. What can a gambler do except press the spin button?? There is nothing to analyze in slot games, because it is purely 99% about luck. Even a beginner can have a bigger advantage than a professional slot player, because the luck factor is never visible to our eyes.

However, for some games a beginner still has to learn, such as poker, blackjack, qiu qiu and card games in general, which require special skills. So, casinos have provided markets for each level, from beginners to experts, although they have a place to gamble within the limits of their knowledge.

Right, illegal gambling is much worse than legalized one. A lot of deception is going on there. Their slot machines and their fights are rigged  more often than not.


Yes, law doesn't discriminate, it's for everyone regardless of their real level of mental development. And I personally think it shouldn't be otherwise in regards to gambling. It's better to start later than earlier in this case.

What is fully developed brain? A person who understands what actions leads to which consequences? Come on man, people at 18 are allowed to become parents, and you are talking about developed brain and gambling. Becoming a parents is way more complicated than potential gambling addiction, which might never happen actually. People at 18 are allowed to do things that can cause more troubles than gambling. And getting back to developed brain - when it is fully developed? It is funny how everyone tell kids - you are a grown up now, dont act like a child. Develop. Study. Explore. Yet try to limit them in every possible way because "their brain isnt developed".

Gambling or casino companies can only post such posts to warn you or they can make such rules but if you are under 18 years and tick 18 plus, the casino company will have nothing to do. Many movies or music videos have instructions that such videos are only for those who are 18 plus, but how many of us follow this instruction? It is entirely up to us to obey such instructions, most of the time we tend to do things that are forbidden or instructed. If a casino has 18 plus guidelines then it should be understood that people under the age of 18 can get into trouble if they gamble in those casinos. If we follow such instructions, we will not be harmed but we will gain, so we should follow such instructions.

Yeah, although it is true that kids are getting more "advanced" at a younger age, I do think that the brain still requires some time to fully develop.

If you expose a kid, which are little sponges, to something like gambling, they would probably have a higher chance to end up addicted to it.

They lack the development of their brain to actually have a better grasp of what's going on.

Even up until now, people still have that mentality of no age restrictions in the gambling activities and the majority of the kids in developed countries take gambling as a way of meeting their needs and since there is a high rate of poverty it tends to affect the way the government regulations checkmate the activities of underage gambling.

Many of them have gone into addictions  since they started gambling while they were still very young without the ability to self-control their gambling activities, the impact of age abuse in gambling has ruined many lives in the past and even the future will have fair shares that negative impact of underage gambling involvement.

Absolutely correct mate. In fact underaged are now beginning to learn adopt the lifestyles of adults faster, though some of them now can behave themselves well and leave as matured adults, but fact still remains that they have not yet gotten enough life experience to teach them some self lessons. However parents and also one of the major causes of this problem with underaged starting to do what they ought not to do, they are supposed to give guidance and counseling to their children in a loving manner to that the child could emotionally understand and make that his target for life. But yet they push their children too far from them, and let the child make hefty decision at a tender age.

Well, in my own opinion I think is not advisable for a child to engage himself in gambling activity at the age of 18. probably if he started playing gamble this early, before he will get to the age of 30 he must have been addicted to gambling,that is one of the  implication of starting gambling at an early age.at this point he can end up stealing money from the parents whenever time he doesn't have money to gamble.

There are lots of activities or entertainment specifically for adults aged 18+, but in this day and age, there are many conveniences that allow underage children to do all this freely without any pressure to handle it.
For example, nightclubs are clearly only intended for those who already have personal identification to enter, but teenagers under 18+ who have rich backgrounds can enter freely.
Free sex, alcohol and smoking are clearly not things that teenagers can do, but now in reality many people do it in social life.
Many teenagers gamble online which clearly requires KYC at all times if requested, but they can complete KYC easily, especially in betting shops, obviously the owner or guard doesn't care who they are, how old they are, so they can bet at any time.
Freedom like this will continue forever and of course there are many bad impacts that can occur, this is also related to the failure of parents to educate and supervise their children.

For online gambling, I actually had passing thought that emerged to be able to suppress the existence of underage children from gambling, namely by having facial scan verification and of course this could be matched with the personal data used to complete KYC.
Underage children will of course have more difficulty registering an account on an online gambling site, but this is just mere thought which may also be impossible to determine.

No amount of punitive measures taken by the government in this regard will never change unless there is a change in the social structure that usually leads to gambling addiction at a young age. Gambling addiction at a young age can only be prevented if the social structure is well legislated and mandated. Due to non-compliance with social structure and rules in my society, usually school college students below 18 years of age are usually more addicted to gambling.
Besides following the social structure, if family rules and law and order are followed then children below 18 years cannot become addicted to gambling. In this case, the importance of parents is immense and in their case, I think they should perform a lot of responsibility as guardians to create pressure for the family members to follow the rules and regulations in the social structure well.

In our community back then, they didn't restrict age when it came to gambling because all they thought was just profit but it didn't end up well for them since when they got raided by the police, they faced serious trouble which led them to be sentenced quite long in jail because of that and some of them are still inside the prison even long years had been passed because of the seriousness of their actions. Right now, you rarely see some kids playing because of that, and all you can see is those adults who are addicted to playing and they cannot seem to live without it especially those who love to go to cock fighting arena.
