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

I think a proper education is the answer. Kids should know that they can earn money only applying their knowledge and skills and that it is very stupid to count on gambling as a source of income.

Also identity can be faked in the internet as we all know so that is not a way to restrain kids from gambling.

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.

Even so, I bet gambling sites have the Terms & Conditions which all of us don't read that includes agreeing that you're in a legal age. I don't need to check it anymore because I'm above 18 years of age. I think even those gambling sites that do not require registration have this as well. Even porn sites and all of other websites that require you to be 18 years old have this agreement that you're above 18 years old, you just didn't notice it. This is very important for their company to not do any unlawful acts.

But the problem is terms and condition does not stop people who is under 18 of age.  This agreement is simply bypass by clicking I agree eventhough they are not 18 and above.  So Minors can still play in an online Casino especially when the currency use is Bitcoin.  This simply imply that bitcoin is encouraging minor to gamble because of the easy access to Online gambling site.

Kids would love to gamble because in vegas they always look at the casino machines and are attracted to all the colors and stuff. When I was a kid I also wanted to gamble but I was not able to enter the machine room. In the future with bitcoin people of all ages will be able to gamble at home if they want to, but I would not let kids gamble until they are adult and make their own money. They must feel the risk of gambling with their own money otherwise they will not understand what this is about.

Of course kids gamble. I don't see any gambling site that at least asks you to prove your age or something like this. When I was a kid we also gambled, played cards for some little money or played with chips with Pokemon pictures. All that is gambling. So I doubt that modern kids more different from us.

This is exactly the best age to gamble under 18, it is more challenging because we all do know that gambling under 18 is illegal and those kids who wanted to explore over the internet would really came across to this. This is a part of growing tho (some kids becomes mature and some don't)

Everything you say is true, now it's a lot of kids under which gambling freely and without the knowledge of the parents. Because now they can easily do anything in your mobile phone or laptop and also their parents now rarely to monitor and look at the gestures or activities conducted by the kids. So this is something that is dangerous for our next generation in the future and should be done to be able to do something in pursuit of a good thing

And thats one of the drawback of technology or say civilization. Even now I am of the opinion that majority of players would be that age although not all. In the sense that from over here, people around that are mostly not doing anything in that they are through with high school and waiting to gain admission to higher institution this gives room to peruse the internet to the fullest and online gambling gives the platform compared to real gambling which could still be frowned at by the elders in the society.

Haha that terms and conditions that are applying by gambling sites and even those simply software we surely not reading it. I'm just thinking if there is an agreement that it will be beneficial to all of us if we will stop gambling but it seems reading is a lazy habit for many. Surely that there are minors who are enjoying to gamble with bitcoin gambling sites.

It's the nature due to no restriction policy unlike in regulated gambling sites, kids nowadays if they know bitcoin can earn and enjoy at the same time but hopefully they will not be addicted with gambling as it's very risky for them to focus in gambling. What we can do now is just to be more matured even at the young age and accept the reality that it can destroy our lives if abuse.

I will answer for the second and third question that yes it is growing problem especially when gambling through anonymity has been started the kids are readily getting benefit from this kind of gambling and the solution for that is that the gambling sites have to accept the payment from only those bitcoin wallets which will have age restriction.
i think this new generation killing the cycle of the real gambler. there's a lot of kids playing gambling even they're restricting it 18+ above they're just making their birth of date to get the applicable age. kids nowadays when iwas underage 18 all iknow was to play games on console, play basketball and read comics.

This is why bloody children shouldn't be here to begin with. Never mind gambling holy crap ! Where are their parents and what are they doing ? Besides not bringing up your kids that is bad parenting and will probably result in crappy kids becoming crappy adults. Besides kids have nothing to add or give. They have no money and nothing to add to anything.

You can't stop someone from doing something, especially with the freedom we've got on the Internet these days. Kids are always curious, and the only thing you can do is to tell them how bad gambling can turn. If you block his computer or so, it'll turn out bad for YOU instead.

yes its true and if we block his computer then i bet that he can find another way to playing gambling and this will continue without you know. so better we approaching them without having angry and explain to them the disadvantages of playing gambling at their ages and if they still want to playing gambling, they can loss everything they have.
You need to show them that what they are doing is not good, and explain to them that not all we want in this world is good for us because there's due time for everything and gambling is only created for matured people, under 18 years is not matured enough and there's a lot of things you need to do to live a healthy life that focus in gambling which might only destroy your life due to lack of understanding.

There are a lots of kids who gambles online because since most of the gambling sites are only asking if you are 18 years old and above for you to enter a certain gambling site and the kids are just faking this identity saying that they are already 18 and above for them to enter any gambling site. This is going to be a real problem because the bottom line here is that they are just kids who are supposed to be addicted on studying their lesson in school and not just some kind gambling thingy which is prohibited to them. That is why it is a must that all the parents are always opening to their children for their children to avoid engaging in thing gambling world.

I'm actually 14 years old (15 in two weeks  Cheesy) and i gamble and trade a lot.
Bitcoin is a great way to gamble and trade without being 18.
I don't understand why we should be 18 to gamble, it's my money. I know that it can be dangerous but it's the same if you're 18 or not.

I've lost more than i have won but i had fun so it was worth it  Wink

Now i stopped gambling because I know that in the long-term we always lose; i've started trading because it's easy with bitcoin and it's something i really like (and if i can win money it's even better!)
So yeah, -18 do gamble but does it matters ?
You already have answered yourself bro. What do you think will happen when kids lose all their allowances where do you think they will get the money to gamble again, probably steal money. Its like you must focuse more on studying besides gambling. I know its fun but you arensoon to be a 15 year old computer games are still fun.

It's not because there -18 that they will steal, +18 also steal money. Gambling is like a game (at 15 you have a lot of time to play) and i do study a lot.
But +18 have their sources of income which are much enough to gamble and to pay for the expenditures of their family while if a kid gamble with his pocket money then he will lose his pocket money sooner and will then want more for which he will not find any other ways/sources but will start crimes of stealing from others.
yeah a kids or an under age gamble would never have gamble responsibly , they would just make their days turn worse nothing good for those people who gamble under age. the regulation about gambling only for 18+ have been discussed for years , so it's just about choice.

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?
Yes bro I agree with you that Many people under 18 are Doing Gambling Online to Make Profits But I think that it is not good for under 18 Persons Future. It will be a Big problem in future if not solved now So I suggest that Keep away the people under 18 from gambling activities.

No not a lot of people are doing this and I thank god that people are not doing this because it just would be so wrong if you are asking me..
Its just not something that should happen these days..
Are you living in this day and age .None of the online gambling sites doesn't care about your age and no one asks for verification of any sort.Yes the sites terms and conditions would say that you need to be above the age of 18 but no one cares to verify that and i am sure small kids are gambling with the help of bitcoin.

Your one point is right, many online gambling sites are here, and also they have terms and conditions, but still they don't care than the gambler is under 18 or not. And also i can guess many gamblers are here who play gambling and they are under 18 age, because one reason and that is, they want to play something different games.
Secondly, i am not agree with it, that every teenager are play gambling because of bitcoin. You know majority of that under 18 kids who don't know about the bitcoin.
