Topic: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens - page 6. (Read 3408 times)

KYC requirements have overcome the problem of gambling age restrictions although many customers debate KYC due to privacy concerns, I think establishing KYC for all gambling customers has provided the right solution to prevent youth gambling. Additional verification is required such as facial verification and other supporting evidence to ensure that gambling has complied with maximum regulations to protect customer data and restrictions on gamblers under +18 years of age.

However, the government must issue new regulations that regulate in more detail the age limit under +18, must provide education to parents and children to educate them about the dangers of gambling for children and must provide recovery steps for teenage gamblers to get out of gambling.

They are regulated too. I believe they are also not allowed to accept bettors of all ages. This is hard to prove though unless the government will go over their database.
Parents can't just go over to their kid's phones or check them all the time just like those casinos who wouldn't be able to look into their user's details or whoever downloaded their apps.

There is the need for coordination of big techs and government I think for this case to really control those teenager going into gambling through their phones and computers which there may be the need for AIs as well.

Exactly, we should think in this direction, in the sense as you said by not blaming the casino, because after all there is no coercion or even threat from the casino for anyone to get involved in gambling, meaning this is a choice, everyone has the right to the thing of choosing whatever they want even though sometimes it doesn't make sense to make it a choice.

But yes, I also can't blame them - children who are still underage because after all they are still very unstable in thinking and also can't differentiate between things as a whole about what is good and what is bad unless the object is an adult, which means For this problem, as you said, the ones who are to blame are the parents who are negligent in looking after their children so that in the end they are exposed to gambling which has the potential to have a bad impact on a child's future.

I agree with you said because without guidance and responsibility from parents, children can easily do whatever they wants including to try something that they don't knows if that can harm their life or gives a positive effects to them. If parents can guide besides them, children will knows what is good and bad for them and they will not trying to do a bad things because they knows the risks and the consequences for them.

We can teach them about responsibility and how to manage their time besides of other things such as discipline, self control and other so they will not have a trouble while they grow up. With having discipline, they also knows how to manage their time with many activities so they can do many good things in their life. If they see many good and positive activities, they will not trying to playing gambling even if that is a game for guess something because they knows they can often to play that.

But this is also the fault of the parents. If their child suddenly decided to play slots, it means that he did not appreciate the risk that arises with such a hobby. I will not tell you the information that most gamblers do not depend on the game. And they are calm and have self-control. I want to say that I will warn my children against gambling, because if everyone does so, then the general level of education of children in terms of gambling addiction will grow, and our society will be better.

Falsification of KYC information are mostly done by individuals than with groups. the taught that gambling is a way to make an easy stress free money without having to really do much work. interesting enough, in gambling you still have some work to do but because you don't have to stress to many muscles, it then appears like it isn't much work done for the kind of money always in anticipation of which it isn't really far from the truth.

For those who are very likely to fall victims of this attitude and are yet to come in contact with it just yet, there should be measures to keeping them away from this and making them underset the possible effect gambling can have on them at the time they would get into it.

We should not blame casinos on first place for growing number of teens who gamble. They only provide product to everyone, and it is parents responsibility, that their children are involved in gambling so much, and find it interesting than other activities. Instead of saying that casinos are bad, and due to them being so available for everyone, we should blame parents, who did not educate or gave enough explanation about gambling.

Yes, it should be, we should not only focus on the restrictions that we do to our children, it is a little impactful action because it is easy for children to trick their parents in various ways, giving understanding is also an obligation of parents and it really has to educate them.

I think that is the most basic thing to give to children before monitoring and limiting to see that children ignore what their parents say or not, or obey their parents or not.

That's true and some casinos who know that still try to open their business in area's where such KYC isn't needed in license and that's why they can continue offering their services without asking for KYC details.


Even those casinos that ask for KYC details are not interested in KYC verification unless someone deposit or withdraw high amounts.

I have never completed any KYC on casinos that require KYC and still I can use those casinos for depositing and withdrawing without any issues.

I'm not a high roller and I believe someone who isn't gambling with a lot of money will ever need to worry about that KYC thing. However, casinos can force a player to complete the KYC anytime and one should know that as well.

KYC is in place in some casinos because of their license. It is part of their compliance to retain their license. So even if they don't want to ask the details from their players, they need to because that's part of their protocol to maintain their license. They have no choice but to implement the AML/KYC protocol as part of the regulation of this business.

I believe in the current set-up of online gambling industry, gamblers are now more open to this kyc requirements because they understand that it is not coming from the casino itself but of the licensing authorities . It was understandable in the early days of online crypto gambling because license was not a big deal back then. But for today's scenario, to sustain and compete in their business, they need to acquire gambling license in order to continuously operate their business.

some countries that have a limitation of age before you participate in gambling but when looking at it some people refrain their age status before them participate in gambling that requires date of birth and the particular age that someone must ascertain before being a participant in any gambling platform but there are some countries that does not have a such rules and the regulation so it can be easy for any child to manipulate a date of birth in other to participate in gambling of he or her choice so it is the duty of a gambling plants form to take at the caution to figure out those people who is under age that the participating gambling a actual sense and the normal circumstance I don't think that it is good for someone who is not up to 17 years old and the 18 years old to involve itself in gambling

While I'm pessimistic about professional parental control apps, it appears to be the only practical blueprint to track the online activities of young people. Adolescents, technically will outshine their parents tech wise and most guardians are not deeply rooted in using such softwares. This creates a strong sense of uncertainty in the effectiveness of relying only on parental control apps, as a solution to the unending desire of young people to boycott gambling restrictions placed on them. Admittedly, without the app, one cannot properly understand the level of a child's indulgence in 18+ activities like gambling. But parents who possess technical information less than their kids should apply strict measures and physically observe what is happening clandestinely in a child's life. For the betterment of the family, parents should carefully implement this supervision.

Everybody want to make money online but is gambling the real way out of this. I'm not sure because the number of people that lose money in gambling is bigger than people that makes money here, the only reason why many of those gamblers stick around and don't give is because they don't have another alternative than gambling and they believe that one day, the are going to win a jackpot that will cover all the money they have loss in gambling but that ideologies are wrong. Gambling should never be a way to make money primarily.


Regulatory commission of gambling Board don't do there work as they should. If they want to properly scrutinize casinos, they will probably arrest all of them because they don't really do KYC as they claim or don't take it serious unless the time they are suspecting an account for some manipulating their games. Some don't even mandate their users to do kyc until it's time for withdrawal and it's bad.

Most casinos avoid KYC not because they want to attract kids to their sites but to allow gamblers to gamble with privacy. KYC is often disliked by the ones who prioritize privacy and that's why some casinos allow everyone to gamble without asking for any KYC details.

Not everything should be blamed out into those parents or guardians because no one would really be liking for their kids to be gamblers because we do know on what kind or type of risks that involves specially about addiction.We do know that even as a parent then we can't know everything and even if you do strictly have that kind of access to gadgets but as long they do have their phone then theres always that tendency that they will really be having easy access on gambling or simply with yjr exposure because everything could really be seen online.This is why it would be better that you shouldn't really be just that focusing on monitoring their phone or restrictions by rather it would be also best that you should really be that educating them about gambling and it's imposed risks and telling about avoiding it at all cost once they would be able to encounter it.

Yes, that is what is very worrying about gambling among young people, I also found such a case in my neighborhood, where the child was addicted to gambling without anyone knowing that he was gambling, and the parents realized it late and regretted not watching their children properly.

This will be a big problem if the parents are not aware of the technology that their children use, unfortunately in my neighborhood there are only a few people who understand using smartphones, many of them do not understand or stutter on technology but their children already know better than their parents, it is quite sad that the child always steals money from his parents to do gambling.

Anything that leads to something that can be useful for life will always be something that is recommended for anyone to do, as you said, managing money, saving or investing is a good plan that should be prioritized, especially by teenagers who Of course, this will be useful for supporting their lives in the future when they are no longer dependent on their family, or that is, when they are free from their parents' responsibilities.

On the other hand, we can judge how gambling is, overall, as we can see, the bad impacts are more prominent than the benefits, meaning that gambling is included in the group of negative activities that should not be done, especially by a child who is still in the teenage stage, which is usually it is a situation of change in maturity and it is also a situation for determining future goals, and what is more dangerous is when their personality has been completely influenced by gambling, because it is clear as we know that gambling can change good people into bad people in a short time especially when they gamble in the wrong way which can certainly threaten their future.

I am sure that all parents always want the best for their children, but sometimes not all parents are able to educate and direct a child properly, and usually parents are negligent in supervising them so that in the end it is very possible for them to end up in a bad environment. Of course, it has the potential to bring about various bad possibilities that can change their personality, so in fact if we make a child who is still a minor an object who will become a victim then of course everything depends on how the parents are able to supervise, direct and educate them.

While we are open to making those kids submit KYC in order to stop them from gambling, we the older men somehow are trying to avoid submitting KYC. Something is really wrong in this situation. We are just open to giving their information to a 3rd party, not even the government but a platform that might sell the database to another company. Maybe we need to ask yet whether making them submit KYC is worth doing while their future could be compromised because of the data.


That's also a good point. We learn all about financial management in school except managing gambling addiction, these students might just learn it easy when there are already addicts in school. They could have real testimonials from the addict themselves. 

If there are many good things that a teenager must learn about while growing up, learning how to save money, how to invest, and how to manage their financial lifestyle in order to grow their wealth is a very important aspect they need to learn. Gambling at a tender age can make them bad players in the area of financial management. Although some of them can still be cautioned by their parents, but some kids can really grow up to become addicted gamblers and face a difficult lifestyle because of their bad habits of gambling. I have witnessed a friend of mine in college who was really so addicted that he spends every money he gets on gambling. 

Teenagers that stay in environments where gambling is not permissible kindly follow other alternatives online. Except the nation entirely restricted gambling, young people have a synergistic behavioral attitude and agent-neutral value of helping each other in time of need. This epistemological certainties of young people knowing where to meet such assistance is extremely surprising. Out of curiosity they rarely carry-out actions without relaying it amongst a fellow like mind, of same age, in their society. Unconditionally most kids are exposed to seeing or doing all the things they were restricted lawfully to stop doing. Gambling is increasingly on the rise and nobody including them are being left behind. Parents, some, are ignorant of their child's activities, and only figure out when it's too late. When the child has now become an adult. Same is applicable to drugs.
