I gambled in local bars and saloons when I was under 18 years old. Mostly wasting my time on Slot machines.
And apparently owners of these clubs didn't care about kids playing because they never throw me out despite it was clearly illegal to let children play.

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 haha. But, I remember when I was a kid we also made some little bets on cards games that we played with classmates and playing with Pokemon chips.

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

Children in my country do not know about dice , gambling is often  in soccer and poker  I even lost while playing poker against a child 10 years
it really is a shame  Cheesy My mistake was to underestimate him I think he did not resist when I put all the money on the table but in fact he was involved in the game and win I do not want to repeat that mistake.

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.

I hope e that it isn't so. This is no place for children. Also people drink and maybe abuse drugs even a legal drug. Then the child will see and follow tondo the same. Now what ? We have a big problem if the kids just gamble and drink. Then they will smoke too and want to spend their money like adults so they take the lessons of an adult. A kid is small one. Adlut is grown up. No need to explain more I feel.

In this 21st century, even kids have access to internet, and even the 18 you suggested is even too much for the exposure this days as there is no control whatsoever to confirm if I'm truly 18 or not just a confirmation and that's it. So its not impossible to have below 18yrs before gambling. In short its not only gambling we should be concerned about but other social vices like cyber crime , ponography etc.., my 2 cents...

Kids ? Bitcointalk is not a place for children anyway. This is a gambling and business/bitcoin forum. Not a kiddie forum. Why any child would gamble is beyond me. If you a kid be a kid you will have plenty time later to ruin your life gambling xP

Yes. I don't know what about BTC, but I have seen A LOT of kids gambling on CS:GO. I'm talking about 8-9 year old kids, which don't even know what money really is.

It's fun for all ages, but it depends.. I mean it's not fun anymore when you gamble with all your parents money and loose all lol

Gambling is not working different than other prohibited things for under aged people. There are lot of things which normally are forbidden to sell to under 18 but sellers don't care. Gambling is same where lot of teenagers try to make some bucks and now specially on online gambling sites with digital currencies like bitcoin is much more easy for people under age to have access without any restriction. Of course those people are gambling which should stay away.

It is true. People mostly like to try first which either banned or made difficult to reach. Gambling also same, it is not only banned for kids but in most of the countries, it is prohibited for everyone still you can find many people gamble. Now because of bitcoins is has become easy for everyone to gamble from their PC or with mobile phone anonymously.

Yeah I know some players who are very active on online gambling sites, some of them are my friends and I said this so many time to them gambling is not good for their future, but they are making very easy money so it is very hard for them to understand how it will ruin their future when they will get addicted.

True statement.

The first site I used was satoshimines and it took seconds to understand it, and a bit longer to understand the cryptography/hashing side of things, after that I went to dice and that's where I lost the majority of my money. I learned a few more gambling things along the way such as blackjack, baccarat, roulette, slots, ect. Still have no idea how to play poker. Sometimes I wish I took the advice of everyone and just never gambled.

I am pretty sure most people under age of 18 are too immature to gamble. Maybe dice but more serious games like Poker or Blackjack is usually for the adults. They are more into video games.

A lot of gamblers are under 18. I'm sure of that.
It is not so hard for a teenager to understand some of the gambling games.
Also, we can't know who is behind these bitcoin addresses and how old they are.

When I started gambling I was under 18 but then I was placing on soccer and cricket only. Those were small bets and was not knowing much about gambling how it works. I know many some kids under 18 betting in corner casinos putting money on horse races and soccer matches in my town. Although it is illegal but still under the nose of authorities all is going on.

Nowadays, it is very usual for teens to gamble.  You need a lot of paper to list all the people who have gambled with an age of under 18, or a large number of tb's capacity hard drives to store it virtually. Continuous establishment of bitcoin casinos increases that rate.

On primedice I know so many under age players doing gambling even most of them are girls from Asian countries, it is not possible for anyone to make them stop and restrict them to login and play there, because it is against the spirit of bitcoin, that is why so many kids finding their way with online gambling sites.

i actually have few friends that gamble even they are only below 18. specially in case of online casino that no one could know the real age of their players, it is hard to stop kids on it. maybe we have atleast 5% of gamblers are kids

I can tell there are many under aged kids playing in online casinos. it is to easy for them

we had 3 kids 15-16 and they even told me their age and when I asked them to stop playing at our site they were nice and stopped but one was nice but did not accept it and he went on to other casinos playing

even the other 2 could do a new account and go on playing and we would never know. but if we know we have an under aged player we ask them to stop. we are strictly against under aged players

but the worst is that we know one who runs a casino with age of 16 Sad
and all talking did not help to stop him Sad
