Ive worked as a psychologist and ive had countless experience of teenagers getting involved in gambling and other social vices that's not meant for kids their age. All in app purchases on iPhone and video games gets kids that have started pilfering to advance into gambling; others use torrent websites to get them free amongst others so in a nutshell if day it's no need to have under 18's involved but it's alarming.
If its true that kids gamble, don't you think its a problem, they have no stable source of income and it could grow into a bigger addiction as they get older.

yes, definitely there in this world gambler whose age is under 18 years old, because gambling is a game that can be done by anyone and by anyone. Maybe the age limit is an unwritten rule, only logic that uses unwritten seal the document. children under 18 years old should not gamble, there are still many games that are more worthy than gambling,  Or I could say it was just a waste of money.

That's a fact that gamblers of the new generation are even younger than teenage. There are some who are doing sports betting and they are the one who plays, there is also the newest trend which is the e-sports. And since they are kids and on the teen age, they love to play like Dota 2, CS Go and they are betting against with their opponents.
They are kids so definitely that is not good for them to learn gambling at a young age, if a matured person got addicted then probably kids will be addicted easy, I just hope it will not give them disease and always think of gambling rather than thinking of their studies for better future.

If this can be prevented the better, kids are not suppose to gamble just to enjoy. They can play online game without bet I guess.

Even they are kids that is just normal for them, for here in my place a lot of kids are doing that. And it tends that it is just normal for them as what they can see for older guys like me. What do you mean by disease? Do you mean addiction? Well probably that's going to be their problem when they grow old when they got engaged with it too much.

there's a lot of people that playing gambling even they're minor because when it comes to online gambling there's no id verification all you gonna dowas to have enough funds and register to their site. so you can play. many minor people playing gambling even they're still minor because they believed that they can gain profit just like those people gaining money through their work.

In most cases, yes, online gambling has not much information asked to their gamblers, as long as you have fund then you are good to go, and bitcoin makes the entry of minors to the gambling world more wide open. Well, that's part of what bitcoin wants the world to see "freedom".

Well, we cannot prevent hat thing, the internet makes it possible with the help of bitcoin. It's good for the operators but bad for the minors as they can easily be addicted when playing with lack of maturity. This should be prevented by the parents of the minors, to preserve their good future, it is just not a good timing for them yet.

A lot of people gamble in videogames, for example in the pokemon games of game boy when I was a kid I used to play Pokemon Blue and there was a casino inside the game, so you could go there and spend money in the slot machines and you would win random prices, that was the first gambling I ever did and I was only a kid. I remember I got tired of it because it was too hard to win big prices.

There are minors that are already involve in gambling. Like here in our country, street children most of them are out of school youth who spend more of their time in that way that leads in addiction. So it is really a big problem.

That's really a bad thing. Every country doesn't look same in these activities. Also as mentioned if addiction happens also in a short they will quit gambling. The reason is that dropouts mostly won't work smart but work hard. So they won't get time to concentrate on gambling continuously.
I feel, there are still many children who are under the age of 18 years of gambling. I guess that happens for several reasons, such as promiscuity, and their parents who do not pay attention to it. Well, many of them also are using drugs. Well, I felt it could have a significant impact on their future.

For sure there are people below 18 years old who are gambling specially if it is Bitcoin online gambling because some site doesn't required you to specify your age, you just need to put username , password and email address in order to be registered.

Not only some sites but most or all bitcoin sites no need to mention you age to gamble there. Even some sites allow you to start gambling without even opening the account, so you just need a bitcoins to gamble. This is something not good, and many young people can play these online games.
I agree that it could be dangerous for minors to develop an addiction to gambling at a young age, but I'm personally in favor of having less restrictions on gambling.

The ease of use is why I usually choose Bitcoin gambling over traditional online casinos.

don't underestimate the young kids cause there are some very smart kids out there and gambling is easy to understand at first glance

dice is a good example for a simple game
Just because a kid/adult is smart and understands gambling it doesn't mean they can or will win gambling lol

It is bad and also sad thing, Your government should do something for solve this problem, Because every country's progress is depend on his youth, and youth are our assets, also parents should take care to their children. Than i think, this problem will be solved. 
But about the thread, where bitcoin promote the online gambling, than also it give us bad point to our teenagers, because in this way, they are playing gambling, even it is not a age to play gambling. 

Government can only act fast if that certain gambling facilities are big enough and that can easily be indentified. If those gambling facilities are very neutral then it would really be that hard on their part(usually this happens in any place which you would not think that there is a game happening) Most of this kids also gambles to have fun

I don't see any problems coming to anyone who would gamble under the age of 18 because if they have sources like bitcoins, no one would ask for KYC information due to which even minors can gamble. In other types of sites where KYC is needed, I don't think they would let underaged to gamble.
Some gambling websites don't have age restriction everyone under 18 years of age are free to gamble that's why people are keep playing gambling and online gambling don't really ask information how we can know right?

It doesn't matter. Anyone can lie his own age for a gambling site to enter.
It's impossible to track all players to try discovering their age, and I think this a waste of time. If persons under 18 age want to play, no problem, they are playing with their money, we will waste many resources and time for nothing.
But if you ask me to suggest a minimum age to start betting, I mean 16 years is a good one.

This is true thats why minors could really freely play gambling since restrictions on gambling sites online are not too strict even they have some attention or warning message it still doesnt work since they could easily mark as checked then you are good to go. Registering anonymously and play anytime thats why we cant really say if theres no minor ages or does have really playing gambling on this ages.
