I know people who start gambling before 18, in fact quite a few of my friends gamble before 18. They gamble because they want to earn some money and gambling is an easy way to earn money at that age ( if lucky of course) as my country don't have part time job like other developed country. And i think gambling affect their growth in a bad way. Many of them become addicted to gambling and even one of my friend addicted so bad that he use the money his mother saved for him to enter the police to gamble Undecided

. He lost it of course and his life right now is misarable. The goverment already banned some of the betting site but we know there's always a new one appeared.

Of course, I also see many and many under 18 gamblers are here who play betting in everyday. Because it is not difficult to play gambling for teenagers. The reason is, in online gambling no one gambling sites want verification of age wise. Also i am agree with you, when anyone start to play gambling in a teenager, than the day is not far, when he will become addicted person.

In fact, the number of gamblers under age (under 18) that very much. Internet was too broad, too easily accessible, and most people already have the tools to access it, at least most people already have mobile phones. On the Internet also too easy for us to manipulate the identity, so that the minors could falsify their age, making older in order to access it.

They can access the gambling sites, yes, but how many of them want to? I have an impression that young people are smarter in that regard. I don't want to offend older people, no doubt they are smarter in many other regards, but in the case of gambling I think they are more inclined to become addicted gamblers than young people are.

Technically young people are good in online but when in comes to the totality of gambling I still believe that older people are wiser
and they are good in decision making. Experience is their advantage and if they will learn how to do it online, they will be better than the young ones.

We can't say elder is better and younger is better. Becasue it depends on their mindset. Some young people that too in this generation kids are so intelligent we don't need to teach them anything if the internet is there they only learn everything. And Elder people experience will help them to learn anything very quickly. Come to the topic there is no way to stop kids entering this online gambling website.

You do get the point kids nowadays on this generation are intelligent and do really have an easy access to internet and once they able to encounter online gambling then its really possible that they would engage into it out of their curiosity.Kids do really have the tendency to be a gambler on early age because of exposure into it and as a parent we should really be aware on possible things that our kids would do.

But do you agree with me that young kids do not want to gamble at all in the first place? They have a lot of other interesting, for them at least, things to do, like watching anime, playing video games, reading manga etc. They consider gambling like something for old peeps, they don't want to even know what it is. Of course there are different types of kids around the world, but I have encountered a lot of kids like those I'm talking about.

everyone has an interest of each different. Not only children who have different interests, but adults also have different interests. That is why not all people gamble. Children also might just be interested in gambling, there is also interested in the other. In essence, we can not prevent children from accessing gambling unless we are parents who already have children.

What do you mean by "unless we are parents who already have children"? Do you think parents have the real ability to prevent children from doing something? I remember like I was a kid since it wasn't very long ago and I can assure you that kids will always find a way to do what they want, especially using the Internet. That's why I think it is much better when children don't want to gamble than when their parents forbid them doing that.

There are many ways to prevent children to gamble. If you we are parents, we can give lessons and knowledge about gambling, telling them subtly. Not by outright ban them, even children will be curious to things that are forbidden to do. Examples like what my parents do, not about gambling, but the smoke, but essentially the same thing. My parents told us (my brother and me) about the dangers of smoking, and what it was cigarettes, about that smoking is addictive, so that we can better accept it. The point is not directly prohibit children but give them a sense subtly, it can parents do.

Nobody doesn't know who is gambling at the age of 18, online gambling sites never ask for age. So there are chances that many people who are gambling below at the age of 18, but when it comes to offline gambling bouncers will not allow people whose age is below 18 years.

Under 18 years old are still minors because according to the law, you can only enter into control when you are 18 and above. Minors are parents responsibilities and they should control their kids, some sites are not suppose for minors access like porn sites but they can still do it because they are smart enough and they belong in the new generation when technology is important.

The purpose of crypto gambling is to give its customers a convenience and the best satisfaction in gambling by not giving their personal information, hence it will give the chance for the minors to enjoy that system and gamble all they want.

That is the main problem why many people are getting addicted to gambling even at the early age. Even kids can access a gambling site, spend their money there and their parents didn't know what their kids are doing. That is the reason why many parents are doing some ways to censor some sites specially to their kids computer or laptop. There are also some applications now to track android phones, that is a big help to avoid teenagers getting addicted to gambling.

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

This is not a problem for gambling websites or government. It is clearly personal problem of the parents and no one else's.
Only parents should monitor their children online activities and prevent any form of breaking the rules by kids.

The most important: it's impossible to gamble without money, youngsters are most likely financed by their parents.
But if my kid would earn money on its own and used it for gambling, I wouldn't mind.
