Topic: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? - page 28. (Read 5001 times)

In my country the law says that people aged 18 or over are allowed to gamble in casinos, this includes going to bars and clubs and consuming alcohol. Governments made this decision based on the idea that when a person is 18 years old, they already know what is right and what is wrong and can understand what they want in life. So when this person gets $50, this 18-year-old person knows that the $50 must pay bills, then if there is money left over they could play. But if you give $50 to a 9-year-old child, $50 goes towards paying bills. This 9-year-old child is playing games of chance and someone else tells him that he can win a lot of money by playing, so this 9-year-old child will play with all 50$

This is because children don't know what it means to pay bills, children don't have big responsibilities, the only thing children worry about is waking up and having fun. Now there are things that I simply cannot understand, for example, governments make laws that say that people over 18 years of age already have the right to decide their lives, they can now gamble, consume alcohol, smoke cigarettes. but ironically, the same governments keep banning casinos allegedly because gambling is dangerous for people, but these people who gamble are over 18 years of age and are adults and can think for themselves, so when certain governments ban the casinos are automatically saying that people in their country are irresponsible children, something that is not true because they are the same people who vote for them

Where do you think those experienced gamblers started? Of course, from being an inexperienced.

Aside from that when you say inexperienced people they do not look dumb literally in front of the machine slots. These newbies won't try to touch those things if they are not familiar beforehand or even not familiar, their curiosity will do the thing. Most of of newbies inside a gambling hall are also asking assistance from their companion or through the casino staff on how to operate the said machines.

Well, from what I know and can tell, the casinos, both online and offline casinos don't care if you are inexperienced in gambling or not, what matters to them is that, you are of 18 years and above, and this is because, this is the age bracket that is generally set by law, that a person must reach, or attain before he or she is allowed to participate in gambling.

It is also important you understand that, people don't just wake up one morning and become experience gamblers, they have to reach the age of 18 before they can try gambling themselves, if actually someone had been teaching the person gambling before, the person is still inexperienced until he or she plays gambling him or herself, and for that to happen, like I've said before, the person must be 18 years of age and above, no casino I've come across has ever places restrictions on inexperienced gamblers, they only place restrictions on under-aged gamblers, which is people below the age of 18.

Gambling rules and regulations state that non-adults may not participate in gambling. In fact, there are many gamblers who participate in gambling even though they are under 18 years of age. Although in this case most of the gambling sites do not make KYC verification mandatory, age is not verified very seriously. However, at present most of the minors studying in schools and colleges i.e. under 18 years of age are involved in gambling and casinos. However, if adults participate in gambling, there should be no problem in their careers, but in the case of adults and those who have not completed academic studies, if gambling is involved, they will definitely be seen as career destruction as well as psychological upset.

The reason why they said anyone above 18 years of age is eligible for gambling is because they feel that from the aforementioned age a particular individual is matured enough to know these 3 things.

1. Understand what gambling is and the risk attached to it
2. To fully take responsibly if anything goes wrong while gambling.
3. Know what is good and bad. (Choosing the right decisions if he/she is ready to start a gambling journey)

Physical and online casinos will not discriminate against your level of knowledge about gambling, as long as you can abide by the rules of the casinos and you have the money to play, or the games in luck-based games on casinos whether online or offline are self-explanatory, everything is easy to understand and if you want to understand how it works you can Google or you can watch on Youtube.

Learning how to gamble will take you less than three minutes at the most, the hardest part is how to be a responsible gambler which is the hardest to learn because there's a lot of temptation to gamble more than what you can afford to lose, it will take you a few minutes to learn how to gamble but will take you years to be a responsible gambler.

I don't think the casino cares to ask you if you have experience or not because they assume that anyone who enters the house already knows about gambling. But this is not an excuse because casinos welcome everyone who wants to enter as long as you are in the legal age. But age is not a problem now because online casinos are easy to fake upon registration as you can put your age in any number you like. And even having KYC can make someone do that using another person. If you have money, you can enjoy gambling and this even leads to young people (below 18) already exposed to and involved in gambling.

It is associated with being an adult and to be able to take the responsibility of money on your own without the need of the guardian.

But to be honest, I would not get the <18year old near gambling scene but teach them about the good and bad about gambling instead. Many troubled teens have the tendency of getting addicted to gambling and this can ruin their life so as experienced adults, it is our job to make them aware and teach them the correct way to manage their finances.

It is tough to keep gambling in the "fun" territory for <18 teens. Often gets into the drugs and sex scene too.

18 years old are adult in some countries, they passed the age to restriction to become a gambler, and whatever happens to them when trying gambling out for the first time depends on the results they get, mind you its easy for them to turn into an addict at this young age and I believe that they are the hardest to control.

Young age is a determine age in our lives, whatever we plan to focus on in the age gap we always Want to do it very well, with all our might and strength, it's not good to start this age as a gambling addict, many stupid decisions will follow and not even your family will be able to keep you away from gambling.

Until you reached your last level and you decide to give up yourself, and by the time you realize this it could be too late already, maybe you would be way more older at the time, wasted your life opportunities away because of gambling.

Yep i think so. Most places let you gamble at 18 but you don't need to be a pro. Casinos often have beginner-friendly games and tips so even if you're new to it, you can join the fun. Just remember to keep it responsible like set limits and know the basics

Let me get you straight, are you asking if young children that is not up to +18 years but knows gambling odds or can predict games well are allowed to gamble? No they don't have to gamble because they can not control the habit of gambling when they manage to get addicted to it. As it may be known to us that gamblers which are above 18 years are also getting addicted when they gambled to some extent that they find it difficult to control as they are not gambling with care..
Young children that is not above 18 years can not afford to gamble with what they can afford to lose, many young children don't have money in their own because they don't have jobs that can provide them money. Even if they win the money will still go back to the casino they won the money or to another casino because the children that's not to 18 years mindset isn't matured so they will not know how to use their winning

I'm not sure if anyone has answered my answer, but IMO +18 is a person who can have better control than -18.
this means why gambling always says that at least new customers must be 18+ because someone who is mature enough has better emotional control, although this doesn't guarantee it, but at least they can control themselves better.

and regarding whether new gamblers must have experience before gambling, it is not necessary and the most important thing for me is that a gambler must understand how gambling works and have good self control.
experience just a story from the past and all of that does not guarantee that gamblers will be responsible, but if they know how gambling works and can know what risks need to be avoided, they are definitely worthy of gambling.

Gambling addiction is such a terrible phenomenon that many adults cannot cope with it. Therefore, I believe that those under the age of 18, or even 23, should not be allowed to gamble. Because it is by the age of 23 that many people want to get an education and start earning well. And gambling is just for children and is dangerous because they do not know the value of money. And gambling is a way to get easy money out of thin air, but at the same time they are just as easy to gamble and spend.

18+ is the major age that most nations fixed for gamblers but it could also be higher in some nations. Some nations have no age limit, so there are no age limitations. In my country, the law states that gamblers must be 18 years and above but this law is not strictly followed because it is common to see underaged gamblers in physical casinos. I have never seen any physical casino that asks for the birth certificate of any gambler. These online casinos will not also ask for such documents except there are some exceptions.

There are no restrictions placed on inexperienced gamblers from accessing physical or online casinos. After all, every experienced gambler today was a novice gambler in the past. People who know nothing about gambling can stake money and learn about the game. This is why it is good to use small money when you are an inexperienced gambler.

I think almost all areas are familiar with gambling, although it is not certain that they will know about it, just as the internet has reached almost every village and not all places don't have the internet, where there is internet, online gambling will definitely be known too, don't be surprised, sometimes we can find gambling. on various social media so everyone will try to visit it to find out more, but don't be mistaken, people who see online gambling are usually used to gambling in offline or land-based gambling.

I also see that around my house there are lots of underage children playing slot gambling and it's really worrying if you have siblings or children hanging out with them because the environment is not good. I always take good care of my brothers and my children not to hang out around them. Children gamble, of course they will have a bad influence on the people closest to us. Unless we stay away from them, don't socialize, it can be prevented, prevention is better than already becoming a gambler, let alone a gambling addict, it's difficult to cure.

You said that age is just a number. It isn't. Kids have a developing brain which is different to a developed one.

Sure, if you compare 18 to 20 years old, their brain is similar.

It's well known that gambling produces chemicals in the brain. Here's some background about it:


Yeah, you're spot on. Dopamine is partly the reason why people get addicted to things.

Every beginner must have a taste of gambling first before they have experience, and it depends on how their first games went, this is what will determine if some will stay as a gambler or walk away instantly, I have known two brothers from my cribs that turn away from gambling because they lose all their money as a beginner in a week, it pissed them off and when the news get to me, I replied with, it's better, because this way, they won't become an addicted gambler.

Even in the near future, if they decide to give gambling a try again they will be more cautious than before, I think losing as a beginner is way better instead of winning as a beginner, those who win once or twice when gambling will start feeling like there is more wins awaiting them.

The dangers of gambling was well known around my area, I applied cautious when I decided to start gambling some months back, never risk what you can afford to lose, I take this very seriously, the damages of gambling is surely this very one, risking too much.

My wondering about the gambling terms that inexperienced gamblers are not allowed to play the game is overwhelming me because I am yet to figure how those who are experienced acquired the knowledge and where and how they started to Gambling before they got the habit to be experienced gamblers.
Hence, someone underage 🔞 shouldn't be allowed to the gambling game because the game has potentials of corruptible manners which a teenager can easily be influenced, possessed and ruined by it but an adult or one whom is age 18+ has the tendency capacities to take control over their indulgence and clearly to acknowledge what is good and what is bad and then the choice is left for him to decide. This an adult hood and privileges.

So, I don't see any sense of a casino or the gambling commissions restricting an adult from gambling with the point of being inexperienced. It is the adults whom is inexperienced money and not anyone else, he wants to play the game for fun and you don't have right to restrict him.
Even if he is chasing after profits with his inexperienced gambling manners you still don't have the right to restrict him. Rather with the eagerness of chasing profits, you can call on his ignorantic gambling manners and help him to be moderate and take his aim of gambling easy to himself because he would be potentialed to ruin his life if continuously chasing after profits and gambling with the amount he could not be affordable to loose.

Why you use child as an example if we talk about +18 ? The difference in understanding the world between 18 and 20 is little. There are people who are, lets say +30, and still are naive and believe in Santa Claus. For us, adults, 18 year old person is still a child, but in most countries that person is allowed to drink, smoke and gamble. And are you a chemistry teacher to talk about chemicals in the brain? Never heard about that. What chemicals are created during gambling? Suppose you are talking about dopamine, an organic chemical that we get when we get joy and expect rewards. But persons brain produce that during entire life.

On underground scene for sure anything can gamble whatever age you are as long as you have money in your position then everything will be allowed. But expect you deal with illegal things with this and minors who participate on such activities have higher possibilities to experience more violent atmosphere since they can see all the worse they can't imagine there.

If there's no certain verification conducted for sure they can easily get fooled but also even if with that but if the casino physical or online if they have this verification to determine minor gamblers on their platform I guess this kids can't gamble on legitimate hubs. Any situation cannot withhold us to gamble whatever the current age we are on its like some people just gamble out of curiosity and that trigger to them to pursue what they are doing especially if they enjoy this game so much.
