Of course kids under 18 years gamble. If they do it on some site it may be profitable to them and let them increase that amount of money that their parents give them as pocket money.

I don't gamble my pocket money, nor do I get pocket money. Never have I used my parents money for anything related to something online. The thousands that I've gambled were all made by working online, bug bounties, ect. Pretty sure no one gambles their pocket money as it'll take way too much effort to get under $200 cash into a VCC or btc.

A lot of people gamble under age because there is nothing preventing them from doing it.

if you gamble online then there is many way to tricking the underage prevention , but when you gamble in offline casino then you must becareful as if you caught gambling underage , you won't get paid and just kicked out from the casino and even arrested.

OP, I'm sure there have been underage gamblers online and live for decades if not longer than before you brought up concerns about it here in this thread. I'm sure that it will continue long after as well.

Earlier it was difficult for young people to gamble but now with online casinos which accept bitcoins has payments made them easy to gamble. These transactions can't be traced so everyone can gamble whether they are young or adult difficult to restrict young people.

I don't know how many underaged people are gambling but i think that they prefer sports betting more than online casinos.
If their parents are aware and have control over their cambling activities i think that everything is ok but if kids are gambling under their nose it can be very dangerous and lead them in very difficult situations.

I think if physical casino will be difficult for them to enter, online casino is also not that easy to access, but bitcoin casino is an easy access, so i think there are a lot of under age bitcoin users are gambling in bitcoin casino, i knew some of the user from this forum that still under age and they actively played in some gambling site, actually its not good for them but its very difficult to stop them

I believe there are. Me for example. Once I was still 16 years old, I was able to go inside a casino by wearing formal clothing and somewhat forging an ID but it never really was of any use since I think I did look like an adult by that time so they aren't really questioning me.

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.

Gambling online? That depends on the parents, it's their responsibility in my opinion. I don't think they can enter most casinos

Yes i think and personally know a few people who are not even 16 and they gamble often. Well, but they are actually matured if you ask me as they talk like adults.

Well i had made bets under my brother betwin account when i had 17 years old, but the money involved were mine i just asked him to make the deposit as i couldnt. I dont see any problem as long the ammount invested by those is controled by fathers or family.

I agree with you, as long as the parents know that they are gambling and how much they are gambling I believe it is ok, most parents would know how to make gambling not addicting and not as money drenching to their kids as a free, addicted, adult.

I don't think we can find any players under 18 in real casinos, but I can assure you that you can find them everywhere around you when it comes to virtual gambling. They are here, and they are anonymous. You can never find out if a player is or isn't over 18. I have seen even 13 year old traders.. so nothing impresses me right now.

I'm sure there are kids gambling on BTC casinos. If there is no ID verification, obviously kids will flock there (assuming they can get their hands on some BTC). It's been a long time since I played online poker or things like that (things like Full Tilt/Pokerstars), but I always had my ID verified for deposit/withdrawal. I imagine you can't play if you are under 18.

You think there are lots of bitcoiners under 18?

From what I know most bitcoiners are around 35. Seems complicated to me to find btc before you're 18...

I don't doubt it at all that there are people who are under age that gamble on their parents internet and computer. They use their credit cards to purchase apps from the Apple store so why not on a gambling website. Don't underestimate what kids are capable now a days as someone has mentioned already.

Even people who aren't allowed to gamble in their own countries manage to get on those sites and do it anyways, so why not theses kids who are age restricted Roll Eyes

I know for sure it's not possible in France.
You can't because when registering and withdrawing funds you need to send the credit card and the ID of someone 18 or higher, so unless you still the one of your parents you can't :/

I used to make football bets when i was in high school and it was forbidden for kids to bet who below 18, and it still is. Yet, more and more kids are addicted to make bets in such young ages.

That's because TVshows them rich people eveyday, and they look at their poor family and they search ways to become rich fast. Then they decide to gamble. Luckily i wasn't that dumb and my family wasn't that poor so i abandoned that shit quickly. But i know some of my friends are still gambling with the hopes of getting rich one day. Sad.

I don't know if people of the age under 18 gamble online or not but I am guessing they do especially with bitcoin which makes this thing very easy for who want to gamble anonymously without revealing any of his data. In my country Serbia I have seen a lot of kids or teens playing lottosport thats how we call the sports betting in here and no one cares about their age. Owners of these lottosport shops just want the money and they don't really care if people who place bets are in the age under 18 or not. In land casinos in my country you cannot enter if you don't show your ID so it's not possible to play physical slot machines here if you are not at least 18 and in some cities even 21.
