It depends in my country there are some machines that you can find almost anywhere where a small roulette with images of fruits spins and if you hit it right then you get a prize, in my opinion those are gambling machines and are very popular in my country especially amongst kids.

Actual gambling like that,that uses tokens and when won can exchange in toys were really play by kids,but young ones that can use computer will also into online gambling that will soon get real money,it cant avoid to happen since children were hard to monitor now especially when they engaging in gadgets.

As time has passed kids have become harder and harder to monitor, most of the time younger generations are more tech savvy than their parents, can you imagine that a kid can easily encrypt their communications with military grade encryption protocols, what can a dad or mom do at that point? Not much.

I want to know if anyone here gambles or have gambled under the age of 18, I feel like there are many kids who do this and I am interested to see how many people actually gamble under 18, if you have any friends that gamble or have gambled under 18 include them.

I think anyone can do a gambling. In our life today was so easy to learn.

It will be a major problem for our community, Parents must guide and well disciplined their kids. Teach them what is right and what is wrong.

EDIT2: Another question to ask, is what is your opinion on the topic of kids gambling, do you think it is a growing problem or a problem alone for that matter?

It is a growing problem that we must prevent to be a big problem. It will hard to us to solve this problem once it became worst.

EDIT3: What is the best way to counter this problem without websites having to know your exact identity?

I don't know what was your meaning in this. By the way, the start is in the parents. If they know how to raise their kids, they will grow a good person. They will avoided the bad doings like this.

Yes, there are people who are gambling below the legal age. Gambling sites sometimes has no efficient way to screen minors.They can always falsify data when joining. Person above is also the living testimony of it and I know some minors who can accessed and play some gambling sites.

There are many below 18 underaged teengaers who use to gamble nowadays in my country i think 4 out of 10 who gambles and know how to play some card games. This will be a big problem in the society because many more teenagers are going to gamble and get addicted on it. It is hard to counter this technolgy is keep on improving kids are more handful nowadays in technology .

at first they are just playing cards without have to stake anything
but as time goes by they start to think wild
give a try but then addicted to stake money in the game
and then online casino come make them easier to gamble without have a tight restriction , no wonder.

Been quite alot of scandal on iphone or similar apps that try to encourage under age gambling with in game items used to power yourself up. You then try to defeat the game using your newly funded extra powers, obviously the game should be based on skill not how much money you can spend so its heavily exploitative. I'd say that relates to gambling, also in UK you can gamble at 16 or older and Im not sure other jurisdictions but as gambling tax is used by government to raise money its probably the case that they allow it. Scratch cards and raffle tickets are also gambling a few other schemes I can think of.
So yep, plenty OP

Definitely.

Like gambling is basically reachable anywhere. Anyone can gamble, especially when you've got bitcoin.

If you have bitcoin, even if you are 8 years old, you can gamble at PD, JD etc. etc.

Of course, they say it's 18 year old up but they don't ever verify anything.

Yes ,those sites will not waste their time verifying you ,Anyone knows bitcoin user doesnt reveal any identity who use it or before entering gambling sites. Thats why bitcoins can be a problem to the children of society in the long term we cant track anymore what childrens do along the web .They are more curiosity about the things without thinking what may be the result after they do it.

Gambling is not working different than other prohibited things for under aged people. There are lot of things which normally are forbidden to sell to under 18 but sellers don't care. Gambling is same where lot of teenagers try to make some bucks and now specially on online gambling sites with digital currencies like bitcoin is much more easy for people under age to have access without any restriction. Of course those people are gambling which should stay away.

Indeed the age restriction is absolutely must be observed in any gambling game if it happens it will ruin the life of the young in the future but there are a lot of things that are usually prohibited from selling below 18 but the seller doesn't care. Gambling is the same where many teenagers who are trying to make a few bucks and now special on online gambling sites with digital currencies like bitcoin is much easier for people under age have access without restrictions. Of course people who gamble should stay far away. the parents here should come into notice, so as not to get too addicted to gambling in the game.

You didn't specify your question if it is in the internet or physical gambling. Because in physical gambling it is easy to determine if the kids doing gambling but if this is for bitcoin online gambling that would be hard to trace it because of the anonymity and pseudonymous.

Yes, in my country, there is a lot of peoples under 18 years gamble online. but when you ask me how they verify there accounts by ID. I can say they haven't accounts. They only do gambling by placing bets in someones have a verfied account in gambling site like planetwin356. So they just pay him with local currencie and the owner place the bet for them. It's complicated.

Tons of kids gamble, depends what you mean. We used to gamble on marbles and coin throws, you have to get the coin closest to the wall and whoever does that will win all the coins. I cant remember any of it being for big money though, alot of kids now are getting captured by their smart phones and companies which target them as an easy market though Im fairly sure its illegal it definitely happens

Yeah I remember playing that coin game when I was in elementary,
And also playing marbles with my friends it was really fun when I think about it brings back the old times,
Now the kids don't really go out to play I think they are missing a lot of fun when I compare what we do back then.

I have seen kids under 18 to gamble physically. But the number is very low. Most of them prefer online gambling because it feels more comfortable there. And there are different types of gambling. Proper education can prevent kids from serious types of gambling like huge amount of money.

I remember that my first gamble is when I was on high school, so I was under 18 at that time. I was gamble against my own friend on a soccer match. It was only around $1 IIRC

When I was on Grade School I used to gamble in my classmates game in pogs. Cheesy

I used to play games like text money, pogs money, adding and other games that are involved money because I like that my money are growing and become high because that time the greediness is with me. HAHAHA.

Maybe gambling is not made for ages under 18+, but basically, some gambling is also a game that is illegal for some countries, so very many children are playing under the age of 18 years. Well, it is very difficult to stop it, because if the environment is like that, then it is very difficult to stop.

Many children were playing gambling since I was on grade school. And definitely I was one of them. I used to play coin tossing and text money because I like to raise my money and to eat many in school. I was influenced by my friends. And sometimes I win and win.

I am pretty surprised that this topic has a bunch of mixed statements. I thought that the guys on Bitcointalk was at least 20 years and up, it's like there's a bunch of kids posting around stating that their age set should gamble and there's nothing that the old heads could say to stop them from doing it.
I really don't care if the kids gamble, I know that it might be the wrong thing to do though I am not the type of person to influence them to gamble even more.

People who don't have the money to gamble with should be not allowed to gamble as they aren't investing their own money but rather using their parents or other relatives income to gamble. It doesn't matter whether they are below 18 or not till they know what they are doing and understand the risks of gambling. I've seen college students gambling and they start borrowing money from friends to gamble which shouldn't be the way. They need to use their own earnings rather than be in debt. Gambling sites that ask proof are doing the best to avoid these risks.
