Many people know that gambling is fun and I'm sure there are children under the age of 18 doing online gambling because it's interesting.
They just think gambling is fun and can add to their pocket money without thinking about the risks.
The under 18 people will never play for fun. becasue they have many ways to have fun. they only play gambling to make money. yes they want to double their pocket money. If they lost that money, they could take that easy, and again they play. Becasue they will play with parents money. So we have to stop kids to play gambling, but we don't have any option to restrict kids not to enter online gambling site.

 Yes I agree, there are still too many things for kids to have fun, so when they gamble, they are not looking at the fun side of gambling, but looking over the other side, because gambling can make money. Whatever it is, gambling is illegal for children even though gambling is legalized.

Yeah they can also gamble even if they are under 18 years old especially when their parents are not around but I don't think they can also gamble online, maybe only when in a simple bettings. But not on online gambling industry.
You are right, people under the age of 18 can do gambling like over 18 years. but it's not legal for them to do it. maybe there is some consequences if they catched by police. And when we talk about online gambling, you should have a bank account or credit card so they can't do that, they just can do it by using bitcoin. because most of gambling site using cryptocurrencies they don't verfied age or they don't request any documents.

The downside of gambling with bitcoin is that there's no control over age and personal information. This inevitably leads to a bunch of youngsters falling into the deep ditch of gambling, and we all know how hard it is to get out (especially for a young man)

I think in most countries gambling while under age is not allowed but I do not know if it is considered a crime or not, however with the advent of the internet and bitcoin I have no doubt there are many kids gambling, which I think it is incorrect, there is a reason this is not allowed and the reason is you don’t have the mental maturity to deal with gambling at that age.

Yes for some countries gambling at under age is punishable but using our latest technology people have a way to do gamble through online so perhaps maybe these young ones our gambling through internet.

Surely there's a lot of people under the age of 18 that's gambling. Why? It's because there's no age requirement in order to learn the mechanics of gambling. You lose, you lose your money. You win, then you win more money. That's just how it is. You simply pick which one you think would win and then that's it. Even little kids can get the mechanics of gambling and they also do it on their own. Kids always have a couple of coins with them and they like copying the things that an adult does.

I think there are a lot of people gambling under the legal age. I believe that it's going to be hard to control that access online gambling sites just because when using bitcoin as the currency, there are no verifications needed.
yes there is no doubt about that fact that  there are a lot  teenagers who are playing gambling and specially though online gambling, where they do not have any restriction, so the number of teen age gambler will be more in online world.

There's no rule about the age limit on gambling sites so teenagers are free to gamble in any online casino they wish to play. And even in real life there's a lot of teenagers who learn gambling at a very young stage. They sports bet with their friends so that's another way for them to gamble while they are young.

Yes, many people gamble under the age of 18. In our country, it is considered illegal to gamble in underage but this kind of situation is unavoidable. We all know that millennials, grow up with the modern technology that acts as a tool or a way that they can used to gamble. Millennials are considered as the group who spends most of their time online which allows them to have time to know and to learn gambling.

Many people says that it is the parent’s or the guardian’s fault why many young people are able to participate in gambling. They are the ones who should be guarding and guiding them to avoid being involved in such activities. But for me, we should not blame them. It is not their fault that millennials can easily learn many things today without older people’s opinion and blessing.

I think it is more important that the government should take a very serious step to stop them form playing gambling online, because it is effective their future too much.

I think now it has become a common secret of many underage gamblers, due to the lack of age restriction rules on online sites about it. Grin

Online or offline gambling is a serious problem now for different families about there are gambling places that really don't have an age limit or don't care about it. Especially those family that has a teenager gambler or even younger one. The worst and bad thing about is that their parents are allowing those youngsters to gamble because they are thinking it might be helpful to them once they became lucky.
you just don't know if online fiat casino won't allow under age player .

the phenomenon about how wild online casino only happened on bitcoin gambling sites, the bitcoin casino itslef mostly illegal that's why there is no age restriction mostly. and i think nobody wants their child to become a gambler, how can you say something like that?
Thats the bad thing over bitcoin gambling sites although we knew that many children who are underaged enters gambling activity without any casino what more this times that online bitcoins casino exist . No parents wants their child to be a gambler unless it is a work in gambling .
even some people consider work in a gambling company as a prohibition too.

gambling has more negative effect rather than positives one, everybody realized about that . but once an addiction come to you , there's nothing can stop you to go wild to gamble but yourself. the age restriction really important to be applied , unfortunately most bitcoin casino did not do this.

Is there any restriction to participate gambling with matured age.??.I don't think so..
You can't figure out the actual age of participants, so it can be happened, there are many people who are under 18, it's a open secret... it's not possible to solve this point of view.
I think something like blockstack or blockstack itself can be used to verify users identity/age without providing ones actual identity/documents.

its really between how parents will guide their kids since this easy access to gambling site system already been there, bitcoin make it easy and no wonder how many minors are now playing and enjoying the service, and like what you have said that gambling for minors is already present even in the time that btc still not been introduce.
Yes I agree, If someone blames the Bitcoin to be a reason for the minors to get into gambling will not be fair, also we can see that because of the online stuff the parents have already lost control over the kids because the kids are more smarter in using the technology as compare to the parents. I guess the technology usage is something related with the generation change and I think the every new generation is better and smarter in using technology compare to the old one. So, the kids are already in this business with the easy platform provided by the online casinos.

Payment Gateway Allows Recurring Payments
From now a days some people gamble below 18 of age they gamble. Young people are now enter online gambling because they see it online and they want to try it until they become addicted to it.

And the young people that are entering to gambling industry are even adding each day. The mindset of those young people thinks that it's very easy to earn and the way of it is by gambling. I'm aware that there are a lot of under age who are engaged with gambling and the sad thing about it is that they are becoming gambling addict at very young age.

I could either watch it happen or be a part of it
Yes there are peolpe that gamble under the age of 18, they are cases that teenagers that belongs to broken family or family that are not okey and they find gamble a way of escaping their problems. Other teenagers are being influence. Teenagers that wants fun than studying. For me, the best thing to do is, their parents must guide them and look after them. Parents must know and must do their resposibilities and they must not let their children to gamble at a very young age. They must be a good example to their children and not the one to be role model of gamble. This is a growing problem not only for a family but also to their country, teenagers must focus to their study first they must be at school at that age. They are next generation and by their time they will be the one to lead they will be the role model at that time. So if they are gamblers they can influence the next generation after them.
