Many people under 18 gamble and they think it is an "investment"..

Its the other way around, they gamble just to get easy money and not as investment. Easy money means to them a lot, they can use the money to go buy like clothes, shoes, smart phones and other things that a usual teenager wants at their age. Those teenagers that would likely to invest are less than 5% of the population.

Sounds pretty condescending.  I don't think that many people who are under 18 are that stupid.  They might gamble though, especially on Bitcoin casinos which don't ask for as much information as other services.

I think it's opposite, those who are over 18 years old are the ones that are thinking that gambling is an investment. And yes, there are a lot of people that are gambling even they are under age. And most of them are thinking that it will be a gateway for them for another opportunity and can give them a very fast profit that can make them rich.

Yes nowadays we will be able to notice that a lot teenagers 18 below are into gambling they already familiar to some popular card game and the effect are most likely losing of allowances, cutting of classes and early other vices which not totally beneficially to them.
yes some teenagers play gambling illegally, as they are not allowed to visit a casino or play gambling online, but still there are some casino who are illegally giving entry to teenagers, i think the government should take serious action against such people.

There is no proper system to check whether the user is above 18 or under 18. So there is no doubt that a lot of users are under 18 and playing in betting sites and gambling. Parents should keep an eye on their children, so that they should not gamble too much and loose.

Definitely there are many underage kids play gamble this is one of negative effect that we need to face and accept into the web .Because there are many games that attracts the teenagers especially under 18 years old they are more into games and emotions .
This will be a growing problem in bitcoins more teenager are playing gambling and the bad thing is using their pocket money and sometimes allowance just to gamble.
- Right, the number of gamblers under 18 has been increasing rapidly in recent years because in the present society, young people are exposed to computers too soon, they know to gamble through the internet and became addicted to gambling after some time. With people under the age of 18, they are very curious and want to discover, experience something interesting, they come to gambling as an experience. A survey of gambling addicts found that all of them were addicted to gambling when they were younger and under 18 years old

It's a big problem that anyone can gamble and right now because of technology, even a 5 year old kid can gamble with bitcoin without knowing that he is still that young. I saw a lot of teenagers that are gambling with almost everything, political bets, sports bet and as long as there will be a chance of wagering money, they will do it so.

I hope none of you thst are under the age of 18 gamble. Children should not be exposed to that sort of addiction. Always gamble responsibly. Winners know when to quit. Children should be in school getting ready for their future when they out not chasing btc online gambling.
I think the age requirement for such thing should be lowered. That law has been established years or even decades ago. Nowadays, kids are becoming mature in a younger age. There are people that aren't 18 years old yet they know as much as adults and they think just like adults. It's hard that you can't do things just because of your age and not because you're qualified. A lot of kids around 16 years old knows how to take responsibilities and stuffs. They are so exposed to the world now because of the internet. That makes gambling just one of the normal things to them.

What would you think about a 16/17 year old kid who say gambled his savings and turned it into $50,000 or even $100,000 then just quit forever, do you think it would be a problem for that kid specifically?
i think it's a problem, if it's inspire other kids what would you think about that? they were saving money just to gamble and hope to generate $ 50,000 or even $ 100,000 as you said. you know in the gambling only a few of those lucky. if they lose the gambling and don't generate anything.
Bottom line is, kids are not allowed to gamble and that's the basic rule. Even though they can gamble because it's very possible now with the advent of bitcoin but it's still not allowed. The responsibility should be by the parents to strictly monitor their kids, they will regret when the addiction comes, it's hard when kids will be hooked as they forget their real priorities in life which is studies.

Yes very true, however the situation is now, though gambling online easily accessible to anyone, gambling is not made for children, children are not allowed to gamble. And parents should be able to contribute the maximum in effort so that children do not play gambling. Parents need to know any children looking on the internet, no matter what they access on the Internet to be completely supervised by an adult. Internet is not free to be accessed by children, at least until they reach 18 years of age.

i first gambling in sportsbook and 15 age, because I like the sport and my friend offered me a gamble if the lose had to buy a drink to which win

What drinks you are referring? Those alcoholic drinks? You are very young to have your first gambling sports book experience. So basically most of the gamblers are alcoholic drinkers too. Good thing that I do gamble closely to the legal age I was 17 by that time and I also bet with sports bet by that time but in real life.

To be honest, yes, most gamblers are alcoholic, but sometimes, one of this two ( alcoholic or being a gambler ) is the key to start the other. I my self started to drink alcohol first, and later on I started to learn gambling because of my friend maybe because of peer pressure. Lucky that I was never addicted to both of it, but my friends are.
but i think it is not necessery that every gambler will be using alcoholic, i think  there are so many people who play gambling for fun and enjoyment so i think it is not important that they will be addicted to alcoholic also.

I also do not think that is true. some people just gamble because they want to make fast money what is of course not possible.
Usually people who gamble in real life having a habit to become an alcoholic.
Not with online gambler yeaaa, so if then someone under age gamble online it is doesn't mean they are alcoholic.
But still gambling on under age is not recommended , too much bad side and they haven't make money by themselves.

And that's the reality that I can see guys, most of the gamblers in real life are having the same hobby which is drinking. Just like when one of their peer won from playing poker after wards they are going to hang out and look for some place where they can have some beer and drink or else they will going to keep on playing while having some drinks on their side while gambling, take note they are minors and it is really happening.

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.


EDIT: I mean mostly kids online, its hard to be a kid and gamble physically. I feel like the gambling rate for kids is increasing a lot and is gonna be a problem in the future, especially with the CS:GO situation.

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?

EDIT3: What is the best way to counter this problem without websites having to know your exact identity?
there is , and i believe in here there start under 18.. and now still play gamble..

There were really gamblers ages 18 below who gets addicted in gambling. There were some online rpg games that are somehow connected in gambling that suits there interest. Internet and websites can't really prevent gambling under age.
I dont think like that, its normally human nature trying something new in teenager and a lot of they had gambler under 18 not become a gambler addicted whento they are growth be a mature.
Basing on my past experience I could compare the difference on being addicted to gambling and being addicted to computer games.I could say that gambling really waste off too much money unlike on playing computer when I was just on my young age I couldn't say im a gambling addict but I used to play with it on some times.Young ages would really engage to gambling because of internet.
