Topic: Can i gambler exceed the age where he doesn't want to gamble anymore - page 8. (Read 1873 times)

Well from my opinion, it's probably because anyone below 18 years is not mature to handle gamble losses, and one of the reasons why government gives an 18 years person the right to vote is probably because they believed that that's the age they became matured to make their decisions. So with this only, if any casino allows an under 18 year old child to gamble, the casino will surely face their warrants.

Well, what am trying to say here is that, there's an age one will reach before he or she starts gambling but there's no number of age a gambler will reach before he quits gambling, so this is the limit am talking about. When you are above 18 years you can gamble everyday and not stop.

The gambling is not the physical form of play,So even the old age people can engage in the gambling site.Actually when you find the statistic of finding the number of people engaged in gambling by young or old.Obviously the old age people will be more in number,the reason in this was they had enough money to play the game at even the old ages.Secondly their interest towards the game will be more compared to the youngsters.The old age people had more courage and more confidence to play the gambling at their old ages.The age doesn’t stop them to play gambling,only if they made a continuous loss in a row.It may be the reason for their stop of playing the game in gambling site.

That's the same as asking if there is an age that someone stops wanting to have fun or laughing? That seems like a ludicrous question, because I cannot imagine that someone would ever want to give up these things willingly. The only obstacle to these things in life is if you lose mental competency or the dexterity to do these things when you choose. You also have to factor in whether someone is just doing it for general entertainment or they have become addicted, because addiction can bring with it a whole host of mental and financial problems which can actually shorten your lifespan. Generally, if someone is financially responsible, then they will have more time and money to spend as they age - which they may choose to use for gambling.

Most common reason is due to financial situations and there's no big deal about the age. Some people decided to stop because of serious matters, specially when there's scenario that triggers them to forcibly decide on quitting. However, there were some that even if they're aging they won't quit due to gambling is their passion and they're happy about it. It could be their form of entertainment and stress reliever when managed very well but can be stressful if habits is out of control.

Actually there is nothing wrong with gambling, because it is just entertainment, but with the note that you are indeed a responsible and capable person, especially in terms of financial balance.

And it should be remembered that when someone is old, entering retirement age and is no longer healthy and strong as when they were young, then of course they can no longer work and earn money. They can only rely on pension savings, investments or benefits provided by a company when they finally retire from the company. And it should be underlined "that is if they do have savings, investments and receive benefits/severance pay" and if not then they will only rely on their children to survive. So if in old age they do not stop their gambling activities, then this will only make it more difficult for other people.

Gambling will only make your life more difficult, when you are unable to control it properly, and will only further destroy your financial condition when you consider that gambling is a place to seek profit and consider that gambling is a solution to the financial problems experienced.

It is not a guarantee that their old age will stop gambling, because gambling does not require energy to do it. So, when those who are old and still have capital or money, then of course they will still be able to gamble at an old age. Because the point is,age will not be a guarantee for anyone to stop, because those who stop gambling are not because of age but they have other reasons that strengthen themselves to stop or continue gambling. After all,  gambling itself can start at a young age and also, many young people who previously gambled but they chose to stop quickly. So, age is not a reason for them to stop gambling, but another reason that will make them really stop gambling completely.

But you said there's no age limit for gamblers and you came up with a conflicting message that indicates above age 18. That's already a limit in itself. I don't want us to misconcept this. I think there's age limit to gambling for anyone who cares about their mental health and wellness. Most of the time, gambling in itself is brain draining considering the amount of risks that comes with it. So you won't ordinarily allow an underage to participate in gambling likewise someone who's in their late 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s. It won't be good for their mental health at all.

I actually think it was the opposite. Older person has more experience, so they know how to handle stress and can only disregard it if in case it comes up but young person are still new to it and they might still struggle on how to overcome it.

Gambling can be stressful if you're doing it the wrong way but it also depends on the attitude of the person who is playing it because there are people that plays for the profit and yet they are still very professional to leave the casino and not complain once they lose. This also doesn't really depend on the age because there are young people who are only calm when gambling and there are adults who aren't, or vice versa.

I think it is easy for a responsible person to engage in gambling and the likes because they are confident anyway that they won't get addicted to it but even the addicts do also have no fear. The only difference is the effects that they feel and that is; addicts will get depressed later on because they did the same mistakes again of losing their money but the responsible individuals are still on their normal state. A responsible person doesn't always mean family-oriented and what if they are still single?

We are all do change no matter what the reason would be or the things that we are involving into.Talking specifically about gambling and getting older then this is something situational because we've seen that there's still those individuals who are really that still deal up with gambling and the worst is that they do really forgot their priorities just because they've been that become addicted and this is really one of the main problem of a certain individual on which they can't be able to think of well on the moment or verge of slight addiction ok becoming severe.

Good for you if you do able to think up sensibly with your gambling habit on which you've been able determine that you do need to stop because you do have priorities on which this is something that not all would really be able to think of but instead they do tolerate out that urge to gamble rather than on minding their priorities.Majority of gambler's do really only think of quitting at the time that they do experience those tough situations that pertains about money or simply talks about over spending. As we do get older then we do really get mature on how we do think and that's why we do make out decisions which we do see that it could really give out that good impact or simply sticking with our priorities in life.Not all does tolerate out that gambling urge but rather they will stick into the things which is right to do. People do mess up their lives just because of wrong decisions that has been made.

That's barely the actual reason behind this rule. Casinos don't allow underaged people to gamble because they are not allowed to and they can face legal consequences if they allow it. Otherwise, I doubt if a casino would turn down a person aged 17 having millions of dollars willing to gamble with them because what casinos care about as a business is profit, and they try to make as much profit as possible by staying within the legal boundaries, and those boundaries don't let this happen.

If we think that casinos care about us or our money, we are wrong, all they care about is making money, and they wouldn't even care if it was coming from an underaged, a mentally unstable person, or anyone in general, but since certain jurisdictions have laws that don't allow underaged gambling, they are compelled to comply with it.

Two of the reasons that I can think of are health and financial status, when a person gets older he cannot keep up concentrating and he should control their blood pressure, and too much excitement on gambling can shoot their blood pressure and also their eyes and memory betrays them that will contribute to losing a lot of bets.
Another one is financial status when a person retired and only rely on his monthly pension he cannot keep up gambling if he continue to gamble leading to losing his monthly pension he will have to take a loan and that will be a big burden for him and his family, he has no choice but to totally stop or minimize gambling.

You are right. There is no age limit for a gambler, as long as you are above the age of 18 you can gamble till the rest of your days. Actually the only way that casinos could know an under age gambler is during their KYC verifications, immediately the age of the person is discovered his or her account will be blocked (for a reasonable purpose). However, I believe we all know the reason why only the mature people are allowed to gambe, because the casino probably believed that when you are mature you can gamble responsibly. Outside winning, the other important thing we need to keep in mind as a gambler is to visit the responsible gambling menu immediately we noticed that we are over gambling.

Well this really applies to those that really want to stop gambling, let's face the reality now sometimes I visit some land based bet shops to place a bet and I find some age men even to my father's age coming to place bet as well and I keep wondering why they do so but just as it is hard to get loose from gambling in the youthful stage, is it at the old stage one would give it all up, so likes of me I think age doesn't play any role in making one minimize his gambling habits, the decision is what matters.

Anyone that loves gambling will still continue gambling despite his responsibilities, because he is not gambling with all his salary but with very little amount that he can afford to lose. He can gamble once or twice in a week for fun, so I don't see how responsibility will make a gambler stop gambling that still loves to gamble, or enjoys entertaining himself with gambling. I have seen a lot of people with kids that gambles without you knowing that they gamble and it does not affect them in any way. As you are getting old, if you don't enjoy the fun in gambling, it's better to stop gambling. It is only if you are living from hand to mouth that you will not be able to gamble due to lack of extra funds.

That pretty much sums it up. I would add that most gamblers stop when they start becoming mature at gambling, meaning they have gambled for quite some many years and they have come to the conclusion that gambling can never make them money and can even impact their financial status for the worse. This of course come with the passing of years which the same as aging but wanted to emphasize that as a personal case where I have gambled since 2002 and now in late 2024 I have dramatically down my gambling habits and I am going back to just playing sport betting and poker what I did in the beginning, slots were the ruin of my gambling life.

Two things:

1 - All gambling should be seen as just fun

2 - Being old does not mean that the person has died, even if they are old, they have the right to have fun

So by this I mean that when a person loves gambling and has fun playing and always plays with money that they can afford to lose, then the person can play until they get old and die. There is no problem in doing so. It would even be good if when a person is old, they keep having fun and do not focus on problems, because problems lead people to have heart disease. In my case, if I were old I would continue to play. Unfortunately, I live in a country where casinos are for the rich and I am not rich enough to go to the physical casinos in my country. But if I had a lot of money, I would play in the physical casinos in my country.

While we age we might start losing interest in gambling and we may find interest in other activities and this can be one of the reasons why people quit gambling.
We might also not have the patience, time and money required for gambling and hence we might quit it.
We might also face pressure from our family and relatives which might makes us quit gambling as well.

Maybe there is no more pleasure to be gained from the game.
Honestly, I see old people who have retired from their jobs very routinely gamble every weekend. indeed not all gamblers will do that, but I also see some old people who gamble cards in a place. not like betting in casinos with big money, but they still do their gambling activities even though they are old.
We will never know how a gambler can finally really stop gambling. whether because of economic circumstances or indeed his desire to stop. certainly, it will not be easy for a gambler who has been gambling for a long time and decides to stop because of his age.

I disagree with you, many older addicted gamblers now began gambling from a younger age and i keep the guess why they never stopped gambling. Gambling is said to be fun, especially those who only are interested into sports betting, as long there is still love for the game of football, i think there is nothing to consume their interests from gambling. The only moment that ease the appetite of gambling is that of responsibilities and after several  tragic experiences that got the user really frustrated and decided not to partake any longer but as of getting old and losing interest i doubt such speculation.

Anyone can stop gambling either at a young age or older, it depends on the particular individual and the reasons behind the stop, getting older does not have any influence whether to stop or not, at most old age even increases the appetite to gamble especially if the individual has made a lot of investments that keeps him off jobs and all he does is sit and wait for the steady income, such old gambler will likely enjoy his relaxation by gambling.

There's no such thing, as long as you aren't in the underage category there's absolutely no concern about age.. gambling is not restricted to old age or gender, as long as you are mature enough to take responsible risks then you have nothing to worry about...you can decide to quit at any point due to reasons best known to you.. Gambling isn't something to be relied on so you must find something to do to keep your self distracted from it when you start developing dependency issues... remember to always gamble responsibly..
