Topic: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? - page 17. (Read 5003 times)

It's funny how you honestly admit things your right about the age and decision making. I've seen so many young person at that age range without purpose in life, and responsibility and that because 80% of those kind of persons are from rich homes. Before the age 18 I have already started working out things for myself, and when I got to the age, my parents could leave certain issues for me to handle all by myself. I wasn't born in a rich family so trust me I know what is like to always sit down and plan your future for yourself without anyone pushing you around. However at the age of 20 that when you become more mature enough to see how life really operate. But those at the age of 18, irrespective of the fact that they are teenagers they are responsible for their actions no matter what, because at that age range they can clearly tell the difference between right and wrong.

18-21+ age considered to be a legal age on which it would really be unlocking for someone to do the things which they cant be able to do when they are still below that age.
This isnt really just that limited to gambling but also in other things as well like marriage, alcohol,getting a drivers license or on other things as well on which this age would really be considered
to be legal. So speaking about gambling then of course you are on the right age but as of todays era and years on which technology which contributes about easy access
and this is one of the cons of it on which there's no way that we could really be able to tell that people would really be in less age would be able to play without
being detected not unless if there's KYC but we know that most of sites arent asking so bypassing is easy.

And I believe that at the age of 18, only one person out of 10 knows what it means to be “responsible for one’s decisions,” and knows that every decision needs to be carefully thought through, and especially those decisions that relate to money. I remember myself and my friends at 18 years old - we were lazy and stupid, we didn’t care about anything at all. And the future seemed distant and foggy. We didn’t know the value of money, and I’m sincerely glad that I didn’t stumble upon gambling then. It seems to me that in general only from the age of 20 do we become truly independent. I mean the majority of people, because there are always individuals - someone at 50 is like a fool, and someone at 14 is serious, as if he had given birth to life.

Allow me to reply with a question. When you are asked about gambling addiction and large losses in gambling, who comes to your mind first? Underaged, a person who recently celebrated 18th birthday, or a person who is in his age - about 30+ years old? We talk here a lot how gambling is dangerous for kids, discuss if 18+ are allowed to gamble, while main problems cause or have issues people in age? When they suppose to be much smarter than those who are young. Dont you find it strange and wrong?

Most gambling sites has an indication that it is between people from 18years and above so if anyone who's not up to 18years decides to gamble as some do, even with KYC they csn still gamble at under age and some may evwn use fake identity to do the registration in order to keep gambling. Gambling sites are more concerned about making money they don't really care to know the age of who's using their sites.

Those who are 18+ are qualified to gamble because they are mature enough to make decisions so any one complaining or blaming others for their gambling losses are just joking around, because no one would buy their stories, besides they were not forced to gamble but rather they chose to take that part after being introduced to it. But some gambling sites for not perform KYC so definitely under age are likely to also gamble without their notice. On the other hand performing KYC would only make the site to loose more customers as not all gamblers like to reveal their identity.

There are countries where gambling is consider illegal and there are some that got the full approval of the government. Gambling is no legit activity to anticipate in because the crucial loses end up our accounts, especially those of us that are not saving, we become very strict and careful after losing heavy amounts, remorseful doesn't pay or settle for the losses gone. +18 plays gambling and they're actively in the space, they're having no challenge because some of them have experience the terrible events of the system. It's very outstanding not to gamble.

By the law or and necessary regulations, anyone 18+ is qualified to gamble as you will be expected to be able to take decisions and own up to the responsibilities that comes with those decisions. At that age, it is regarded as adolescence in many countries whereas in some it is lower that number. But the focus is the psychological maturity that is expected of someone that got to that age.

In reality, being able to gamble also require that the gambler would have gotten a means of income to avoid developing bad habits in a bid to satisfying the urge to gamble. I doubt if many people at that age have the financial stability to be able to gamble and still cover their needs as they are supposed to be in school by that age. This is the only problem I see with that age limit.

If it's your first time to play gambling or you're a first-time gambler, how will you have experience if you don't try to play gambling? It makes sense, right? It seems like there is no difference between an applicant applying and what the company is looking for: experience. Where did the applicant or gambler get experience? right in their first attempt to play at the casino?

Maybe it's better to implement that those who play are 18 years old and older, because not everyone is monitored and everyone is 18+ years old because there are others who can still play below 18. That's real talk, and that's really happening here in the country.

Everyone likes to play games, but when financial matters are involved in it, everyone's attraction to it increases. And gambling is a very attractive thing that can attract very few people. So everyone needs to be very careful while gambling. Otherwise it will have a negative effect on everyone. It doesn't matter if you are an adult or not. Gambling treats everyone equally. So if a child indulges in gambling it will be a failure for his parent. Because when someone is a child, he has full responsibility of his parents. So if a child gets involved in gambling it will be due to carelessness of his parents

Little children now in my opinion are no longer strange if they are good at managing or operating cellphones, any tablet is related to technology and the internet. Because indeed some parents also now allow their children to play using gadgets, moreover it also in my opinion has happened in every circle of the community, the number of parents now even give gadgets to their children who are still minors. And in my opinion this is of course there are positive and negative sides, the positive side does have learning from schools that require using gadgets, and inevitably they must have gadgets to be able to follow it, and also with the internet they can find sources of knowledge because with the internet all with the internet Can be sought, and this facilitates their assignments in doing their school work. The negative side with the development of technology today is more and more online gambling with many advertisements that are displayed on every social media, so they are also vulnerable to know online gambling, because only by looking and then clicking on them can know him. And this must be watched out for. I agreed with you to prevent them from watching casino games and sports betting, because on every social media there are only video footage of gambling that they can see if they are interested.

I have also seen that, where a child who is addicted to playing games until in the end he experiences a sydrom that makes him act like he is in the game, also as you say, when he sleeps but his fingers move like he is holding Cellphone and playing games, this is indeed a bad impact that can occur if they play too often cellphones or gadgets, especially if addiction to the game is not a good thing. As the development of technology today in my opinion children will follow the flow, where they will also definitely get closer to gadgets and the internet. But in my opinion it is not a problem if they use cellphones because indeed the majority of many parents who allow their children to have gadgets because of the guidance of schools also sometimes need it, but parents who have to watch their children well that must be done, do not let their children too Often also use gadgets because it is not good, they must be able to limit the use of gadgets that are no longer strange.

Gambling has been making its way into video games for a very long time, with the most recent example being loot boxes, in which players pay an amount of money for the chance of getting the items they want, a mechanic that is clearly gambling and that in several countries such practice has been banned precisely because of that reason.

So while I have no problems with an adult gambling if they want, gambling should be kept away from minors at all costs, even when disguised in another product.

The context of these things are very different, but basically when it Comes to doing something better for children it is to Prevent them from Watching casino games and sports betting, this is what it is about avoiding, seeing things as they are and the Trend of the Parenting for your children is very different, because currently things with children leave them Phones, tablets with the intention of keeping them Entertained and that is something that we should Avoid because we are People who, when we are in the middle of our upbringing , can have many Mistakes, but that Error is maximum when it comes to Doing things by solving them with Technology.

Now if we are seeing things from another Point of view, children will Always be very Delicate in the things that they do , they Cannot be inventing ways so that they are Etertained but in the end they are harmed, I have seen videos in the Social Networks that such small children when they sleep move their fingers as if they had a Telephone, these things are the ones that should be avoided, they are temporarily harmed by their childhood, it is not appropriate for Children to be Involved in the Internet or games, the children are taught, so that they Learn any good thing, such as other things, languages, ways of doing mathematical operations, where I Live , the state where I live, or a 2-year-old child speaks fluent English (because the native is Spanish) and he Teaches mathematicsClasses, operations that are difficult, that at least in high school they are done, they call him the genius child, so if a child who barely speaks and Knows those things , then where is the potential of the others? getting lost showing something from other games, other things that will not teach you to flow in your way, here as the native language is Spanish, the mere fact of Knowing English Opens Doors Worldwide , that is something that Everyone Knows , for that Reason It is that these things must be learned from childhood.

What about slots or casino games on SNES or Sega consoles? I remember playing video poker on consoles when I was a kid. And in fact, it was very addictive. What about video games machines? Does not flashing text «insert coin» is partly the same as a slot machine for adults? Or all those gaming machines when you try to get out a plush toy with tongs ? Believe it or not, we all have been gambling since being little kids. Some got really addicted to gambling, some showed zero interest to it. And it makes «it depends» to be as an answer to topic question.

I think you misunderstood me.

I never called it completely safe. In fact, I think gambling is very harmful to the child's development and should not be encouraged. But the damage has already been done since simulated gambling is everywhere, fully unregulated and accessible to children. You can even play slots in the old Pokemon games. Remember playing Pokemon Yellow?

So obviously there is no way to keep children away from it (realistically and without bad parenting), which that means that the damage is unavoidable.

But I did outline that simulated gambling is legal for kids but there is a silver lining to that: they won't lose real money and they won't be caught off-guard as adults. They will know that gambling is something that is connected to monetary loss. 

Well that being said , I think all this depends on the society the gambler or the people are residing because I believe this under age gambling is highly prohibited in places where their discipline is of the highest watch, but in most society the rate of under age gamblers is something that is so alarming that even the government can't control anymore and this is due to recent technology and innovation in the world of gambling.

Gambling is not a job that should not be taken seriously, and obviously whether you have experience or not still anyone is allowed to engage in gambling if they have a budget that is ready to be bet, and I agree with your idea that "experience is not a necessity in gambling" especially if you are involved in the type of gambling that is pure luck where only luck will determine or lead you to victory. But maybe I agree with you on another point that skill and experience will help you when you bet on sports betting which I admit that it can help you get closer to winning even though in the end it is still luck that decides.

You have also said that even if you have the skills but sometimes the end result is not always as planned or expected and that happens with sports betting, the point is whatever it is and whatever type of gambling you choose basically you will only really win when you are lucky, and the reason is because gambling is not something that can be learned.

Some people are not up to 18 and I am sure they are gambling, and people don't bother about age again they just believe that age is just a number and there are places where validity is not valued. It is now even looking like people who are not up to 18 are the ones looking for money seriously, and sometimes I wonder what kind of problem they have to be looking for money that way. Everything has changed, and not everyone's eyes have opened for money. As for me, if you are under 18, what you need is school and work, not gambling, and some of these faults come from the parents they don't ask the question of what a child needs in that age range: school, not money. I am not married but when I am married, since I gamble on my phone, I will continue with it that way, to keep the future of my kids safe because they might abuse it.

I don't think ops query is based on how easy or hard gambling is, and whether an 18+ of age can understand and play it, I think ops query is more centered around whether it is morally and or legally  right, for an 18+ of age to be involved in gambling.
And my Answer to that would be that, in most countries, like over here in Nigeria, as from 18 years of age is the legally approved age by the government to participate in gambling, any body below the age of 18 and is participating in gambling is breaking the law, so, any body at the age or 18 and above can freely participate in gambling.

And I believe why it's made so is because, mostly, any age below 18 is likely still in school, and it's not morally right and advisable for a student to be gambling, we heard stories of some respective students who gambled away their school fees, and ended up committing suicide due to, or out of frustration, this is why gambling is only meant for adults and young people who are already working class and making money for themselves.

If you have been gambling for a while now, you should know that casinos make money from users' losses. Inexperience gamblers mean, there is more possibility of making mistakes or placing bets without understanding. Whenever an inexperienced gambler will lose, the casino will make money. So, no matter what you say, they are not going to forbid their platform for inexperienced players.

On the other hand, what are the criteria for being an experienced gambler? Let's say you are an experienced gambler, how is a casino supposed to verify that you are an experienced gambler?
