You mean 70 years old grandpa need to monitor his kids who're 40 years old and have been married? the grandpa need to watch how this 40 years old man fuck his wife? the grandma need to feed this 40 years old man too?

18 years old people already know what are good and bad for themselves, if the parents need to watch him with everything what he doing, the new generation will die due to lack of independent.

From my understanding I don't think there's any law that restricts an individual that's 18+ from gambling, that's an  adult age and in must countries individual that's fall in that category are allowed to make their own choices, but I heard that their are some countries where the gambling age is 21 and above an not 18 which is the adult age though I'm not very sure about that statement, but in general the gambling age for most casinos and betting sites is 18+

 As a parent it's your duty to guild your child till they become adults and start making their own decisions however they still need advise on certain decisions that could ruin them if not properly looked into and gambling is one of them, cause it has lots of disadvantage as well, like addiction, emotional trauma and the rest of them. But with proper advise to them, they could learn from it and try to make the right decisions.

Those who are above 18 years are adult enough and capable of a potential thought and have a source of income so they can enjoy gambling with their income. and that is why they are not interested in spending extra money on gambling.  Because they know how hard it is to earn money. And those under 18 and considered minors use their parents' money when they go gambling. and that's why they have no love for money. and the addiction to gambling can destroy them.

We don't have to against but if we are a parents, we should thinks about our children. We don't have to teaches them about gambling because they can seeks by themselves, especially if they can use internet properly. What we needs to do is explains why playing gambling can ruin their lives and what impacts to them and people arounds them. If we can explain everything until they understand, they will knows the reasons why they don't have to playing gambling, even if they have their spare time because in their ages, they have many activities that they can do. We can directs them to do many positive activities that can gives them a good experiences that can helps them improves themselves for their lives. They will thinks by themselves what impact of gambling for their lives and if gambling can really ruin their lives, they will not playing gambling.

If someone steals from their parents, then these are isolated cases, and certainly not the majority. Teenagers have pocket money that they can manage as they want, and if we are talking about 18+, then these are adults enough to be able to earn money on their own, I’m not talking about a full-time job (because they are most likely still studying), but about some kind of part-time job. And if they have a desire to try their hand at gambling, then why not try, it will be their experience.

Here in our country, many minors already play gambling, whether offline or online. Especially in this day and age when the internet is a necessity and the internet is rampant on any
social media platform,.

Many people are addicted to online casinos today because of the heartless local influencers in our country who can only promote gambling and say that there is no loss when they gamble
using the referral link in their descriptions, and many lives have been ruined. Actually.

I think someone gambling already knows the importance of money, because they want to get more of it by gambling.

Of course, the problem appears when they don't win as much as they expected.

Acceptable, that's true. But as a parent, I won't let my kid do that at that age especially if at that age he doesn't have a job yet to use for gambling.
IMO, one person who gambles must know the importance of money and if he gambles it, he must also realize the losses and how it will hurt his budget once he takes the risk.
For me, 21 years old will always be the right age because that gives time for a person to look for a job, save some money, and realize how difficult it is to earn it. The thing about gambling is, that losses are inevitable so an individual must be prepared for it and he must have an idea about how a budget works so that it won't affect him mentally even if he loses.
Although, it's always better to stay away from it as much as possible.

I know well about kids from wealthy families. In fact, when I was at school I have several kids, whos parents had businesses with million in turnover. And surprisingly, those kids were not very different from other kids, despite have branded clothes. But lets get back to what you have written - why do you think that if a child has a lot of money and more financial recourses than others, he would spend all of them on gambling. We know that kids have interest to lots of things. Imo, if that kids has a lot of money, he would spend them on various things and services, then only on one single thing.

In fact, I think that people who think that rich people mostly spend money on gambling, have wrong vision. Those who a rich, rarely have lots of free time. But people think that they gamble a lot, because they remember large bets. People remember $10,000 single bet from a rich person, who might not continue gambling after making it. But dont remember those who make 1000 $100 bets during weeks.

If the parent, government all agrees that gambling at the age of 18 plus is not too bad for a child, then it's not something we can go against, even though it's something we know that gambling should done under a controlled environment whereby it will not be abused for any reason, we cannot denied a teenage in this age category from having fun in gambling, what we should be after is the abuse that many give to it, when gambling, we should give the normal and required approach for it and not that we do above our own efforts all because of gambling.

Everyone who first plays gambling is inexperienced that that point. You don't have to take an exam and pass a test in order to play gambling, in fact the casinos are looking for the dumbest people possible to play because they are more likely to hand over everything without realizing they were doomed from the start. There are some countries or even states within countries that are more restrictive, making people wait until they are 21 years old to play - which is probably better, because quite frankly most 18 year olds are completely clueless when it comes to finances. What country are you in that requires people to have "experience to play" because it sounds completely made up.

Not really that much but rather with the experience that you do able to gain from your previous encounters or engagement. The difference on having that kind of mature thinking due to right age will really be having that have that main difference in compared into those young people but still having that kind of experience would really be leading up into something that you would really be able to gain up the knowledge in correlation to it.
This is why i could say that it all matters with the experience but as much as possible on which if you are really that still a minor or it isnt really that on the right age then it would really be best that you shouldnt really be  that making yourself that dealing up with gambling and should really be that avoiding as much as possible.

18-21 years old is something that could be considered to be the legal age but we know in reality that there would really be those people who would really be that
playing up gambling even if its not on the right time.

I want to say that I agree with you. When I remember my youth, when I was still a fragile teenager, I often lost control of myself. He lost it in relationships with women, forgetting that you always need to be cool and calm. I forgot to take care of money and often spent a lot more than I needed to. And of course, if I got involved in gambling then it would be very bad for me to end up. Therefore, age matters in gambling.

Probably you have no idea about a rich family. A child in a rich family can get a lot of funds from their parents and other family members. And also they may use the account of their family members and in this way they can gambling.

When people talk about addiction, I always want them to ask to remember when was the last time they saw gambling addicted person, and what was his age. I find it hard to believe that if kids get familiar with gambling, they will turn into addicted gamblers as soon as they will be allowed to gamble. And first thing they would do when they turn adults, will be running to casino.

How I see gambling addicted person - that is a person already in age. That is why I think he has plenty of time to gamble, to turn his passion into addiction. And I am definitely sure that such person gambles today not because he has starting gambling early.

When people talk about kids and addiction to gambling, I find it hard to believe there is a real threat. What I mean is, if we take 100,000 kids, how many of them would really be interested in gambling, and how many would get addicted to it? From posts here, is sounds that among 100,000, all of them would get addicted just by standing near those who gamble. Like gambling is a kind of a virus. While in general I think not more than 100 would.

Not mandatory but indeed the age of 18 is an age that is quite allowed to be involved in the world of gambling, one of the reasons is because the age of 18 is an age where someone has begun to enter a fairly mature mindset which is simply that they already have the ability to distinguish between good and bad to make a choice in any case and also they are able to make some considerations that are quite reasonable and rational to make a decision that they think is good and right.

Another thing is that yes I quite agree with your idea that everyone has a different perspective regarding gambling but overall what makes more sense is to have a perspective that is in accordance with the reality that gambling is a high risk activity especially if it is done without being based on the right understanding which in the end is like some cases that have occurred where they even entered the addiction phase because they tried to treat gambling in the wrong way due to having an incorrect understanding. But yes, of course, in the end, whoever you are and whatever your age, caution and vigilance must always be prioritized if you are involved in gambling because however the risks involved in gambling can destroy a person's life in a short period of time if they treat gambling in the wrong way. Yes there are some countries that do legalize gambling activities for their people but however gambling can never be made as a place to earn.

Applying caution isn't enough especially for teens because even the experienced gamblers with all the application of caution and every other way of staying carful enough, they still end up getting messed in the cause of gambling and the difference lays in how they handle it when it happens, there are fears that the under age gambler or the teens may not be able to handle their loosing experience well enough to exercise restraint in such a way they will not have to get involved in unhealthy habits in a bid to making sure their habits or the losses is a fueling factor to do some unhealthy a d unacceptable practices.

Gambling in it's self is to an extent addictive and only matured minds in most cases are able to still they don't get influenced too badly from gambling and sometimes even the experienced gamblers are unable to still handle the situation still so it's believe it will be worse with the teens since their youthful drive may even affect their approach and so they are not encouraged to gamble.

Indeed, that is their own right, but I never thought that there would be children under 18 years of age who are already working and I also think it is unethical for them to spend their money on gambling even though it is their own income, because they are not yet adults either. Even if I have a younger sibling, I won't allow them to work, because they are not old enough, with their unstable thinking, I don't want anything bad to happen to my younger sibling, even if their intention is to help the family financially, unless they are already adults. that's for me, but maybe for you it's different, you would allow your younger sibling to work and spend it on gambling but for me that won't happen especially if they gamble because it could ruin their future, that's what I'm afraid of.
I'm sure you know the difference between good addictions and bad addictions. I think that with them gambling at an immature age is not good, as much as possible we should be able to avoid addiction. Even among adults, many of them are addicted, therefore there is nothing that can rule out the possibility of them not being addicted, even if they are under 18 years old.

Everyone have a different view when it comes to gambling. +18 is the compulsory and acceptable age to gamble because it comes with a whole of stress and risks. Teens should always apply extra careful cautions because that's one of the important phase to understand. Although not all countries accepts and legalized gambling but most developed countries acknowledge the fact that Gambling becomes part-time tasks to get enrolled with for the purpose to generate profits for oneself.

There are countries were kids at the age of 14-16 can officially work (but their daily working hours are lower than adults working day hours), they officially get salary., they have rights to spend their earned money the way they want. And it looks illogical that they arent allowed to spend them on gambling? Would you agree with that? People use such argument as "addiction" as a reason for underaged not to gamble. But does gambling addiction for 16 or 26 years old is anyhow different? Kids with money can be addicted to others things. For example they can get addicted to fast food. Earn own money, go and eat burgers every day. Does it means that food addiction is less harmful than gambling? With gambling at 18+ only there are so many compromises and things to tell in opposite.
