Kids should be in school and learning. They know nothing want do they want to gamble for ?
These are not concerns of little children.  A child should not be here even. That is bad parents.

That is what supposed to be they are doing,  but with the current situation where parents are busy and kids are left at home with nothing to do, they learn how to do things their own. With regards to gamblers who are under age, well, we can't prevent it when it is online specially when they are using bitcoin. No one is asking about the age or if they are asking, no one asks for a proof, so gambling sites can't stop kids to play at their sites. But in real life gambling they can't do that.

Here in my country there are a lot of parents that allows their kids to gamble whether it is poker or other some local gambling games. I am very disappointed with this parenthood because even though I'm not yet married and no child at all, it is their responsibility to teach their children on what to do in able to be a better person, but it seems their reason is because of poverty again and again.

LOL! Poverty is not a reason out for letting their kids to gamble because if they are responsible parents they will work harder to have something to feed for their children. Its sadden me when seeing some kids being used by their parents for working or even in gambling. I guess local governments are not even monitoring this type of cases.

That is what parents should do. With the things that you've mentioned, I think it is illegal, probably they are playing along the streets or they found a hide out that they could do that. Parents are aware that it is wrong, only that what their children could win in gambling are part of their bread and butter. In short they have no choice. The worst scenario with that this children might end up using drugs, drinking alcohol, pick a fight on the street, or worst, starts to be trained as thief.

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?
Most kids online are always looking for fun and yeh gambling for them is really exciting and more thrill for them, and the graph of the kids who gambling is really increase some of website or gambling website don't have restricted or don't have the policy that you need to become 18 years above before you play.

They are irresponsible parents if they will allow their kids to be involved in any gambling activity. And kids should not really be in gambling because those people who are able to sustain their gambling addiction are the ones who can gamble without restriction because they have their own source. But for a kid, when it becomes addicted where he will get his source?

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.
it does not matter if there are children under 18 years old to gamble to gamble, but I guess it really will affect his future, even be very harmful if they had been craving to gamble when they were under 18 years old. I had indeed seen some children who play gambling, but I do not have the right to forbid them to gamble, but I think there is a better way to generate a bitcoin, maybe they could look for bitcoin with other alternatives that could make nominally become more productive, such as trading or investment.
There's no specific age for a person to be eligible to gamble but we can recommend on the range, they should not be less than 18 or 21 I guess. What's important is just to be matured enough to understand what is the basic principle in gambling and when a certain gambler understands the hardest part which is losing, then maybe we can consider him as matured enough to start gambling.

Yea I was gambing under 18 and now I have 18 about 2 weeks was my 18 year bitrhday but I gamble online from 1 year ago and my first sport betting tikets was when  I was 5 years old hehehe but gambling can be good for kids which are under 18 because If they gamble smart they can earn a lot but I think that gamble for under 18 need to be allowed but with some limits.
Well, I think different people have different maturity level like for example my uncle's age is around 31 and he still lacks the wisdom and maturity that a 20 year old student should posses. So I think if you are mature enough and your age is 12 years also then there is no problem in gambling, 18 years was made a standard because thats the usual age when people get mature.

currently there are so many kids already gamble out there and yes it is true that if there is kids under 18 was already addicted gambling they will be prone to violence that led to criminal activities because usually at that age a teenager more likely did not think much on what they are doing so indirectly this is will ruin their future and i think from now the parents should be oversees more to avoid this
In my country the minors who gamble are in majority intelligent and I think that they know what addiction can do and they are certainly very careful.

If a man is under 18years old and he has a job or anything else that give him some money for his work, I don't see why he cannot bet. If he is enough old to work, he is enough old to have his own choice and in that case he should can spend money as he wants to

The only reason I see why they put age restriction is just to protect themselves that they ate not offering services to minor even though they know that its a balant lie and that minor even patronise them. The only reason why that will work is if below 18 does not have access to phones or internet aside that nothing can be done. I'm not 18 but I'm sure below 18 would be gambling.

There are also some countries where gambling is legal if your under 18, with parents permission. Most are just for lottery tickets and scratchers though. Most of that money would be taxed and go to the government, do you think that is why there is no laws banning under aged kids from doing this in these countries?

The reason is obvious, the government profited from those.  Anything that the government does not have profit is illegal, like when an establishment is not reagistered to gaming board, automatically they are illegal even if they have only lottery or dice as their game.

In my country even if you are of legal age if you are gambling in the street with your friends, they can arrest you because gambling outside gaming regulatory board approved institution is illegal.

I don't think the issue of Kids gambling is only happening on developing countries. For a fact all casinos have age limits in which they strictly enforce as if they don't follow they will be having penalties. Also there are many factors involving this topic and there is really no main reason why kids gamble. Some reasons like wealth or addiction comes to mind.
Problem of wealth or addiction are different than the betting of minors, these problem that you quote are identical for all ages. Plus, the first reason for which bets are forbidden to minors is that usually they are paid by the money of their parents but if this money comes from the minor I do not see any problem.
I think even the money is not from their parents it can be still a problem.. because it can wreck his life or his future if he just gamble and be addicted in gambling that can push to them in to violated or do some bad habit like get money from their parents without inform them or be a thief for money and just gamble it..
Honestly many here in my country doing this and gamble just to make a large amount of money to chase their loses or other reason..
So for me minor should be still in good guidance..

Well, I didn't gamble when my age under 18 but I had seen my brother and his friends gamble physically few years ago, consider it as juvenile delinquency and want to try earn extra money. Actually, I've never seen kids/teenager did online gambling before as it more difficult to found as they could do it at home and secretly from their families.
However, parents should be control their childs and give an advice to stay away from gambling.
