There is a way to make it more strict about age restriction and that is to implement KYC but many people don't like KYC which will defeat the purpose of being anonymous since cryptocurrency is created that way. Limiting the access to the internet is also possible to prevent under age gambling on casinos.

At his point all the parents can do is restrict their internet usage.

There are a lot of softwares they can get for them to restrict sites that can influence them into gambling or maybe the adult industry. Each ISPs, as far as I know have these Parental Controls or Parental Locks they can take advantage of so they could monitor or block these sites.

Before someone can have VIP status, they need to verify themselves because they can get many benefits that are not available for regular members. Many people think that they don't have to be a VIP and prefer to be regular members because they don't need that status. They only want to play gambling and make money if they are lucky.


I am sure the kids can do that easily because they know how to get that. Suppose an adult person leaves his computer open with the last activity that person did, and then the kids who sit at the front of the computer will continue to use that computer, and they can mess it because I got that with some of my nephews. Imagine if we leave the computer with the gambling site is the last thing that we did, the kids will know, and they will find how to play the games. When it comes to the internet, they can get anything they want by browse many websites.

Agree, I think it is not really a big requirement even in some big gambling websites having a KYC is not a requirement at all I guess gambling websites already realize this, and most of the gamblers are not willing to do KYC just for the gambling websites security, etc. Maybe age restriction could be a thing at some point anyone could do gambling online since it doesn't require any identifications. There are already thousands of gambling websites online and probably a big percentage of it is not legitimate or not legal and probably scam websites giving such information is really risky at some point since required ID could easily be used in other scams, also websites online and operating worldwide on the internet you can't really make a complaint about a scam website or their company if they leak your identity since it would make a big hassle if the company is from a different country.

A lot of people would recommend gambling websites that is trusted here in the forum and still don't required KYC.

Children will find their way around KYCs.

You know how smart and intelligent these kids are nowadays. They could just borrow or make their parents sign up in these sites with KYCs and they will use it. There are cases that these parents are already signed up in these sites and their children are just playing using that. The internet is the most influential place for them, they could even buy information they could use there, it is that easy for them. Then there are those sites without KYCs.

No matter how much reputed the crypto gambling site, still it is not good to provide your personal details because here money involves a lot and I don't think any VIP will pass KYC because their privacy is at risk and can be in more danger if someone got access to those details because hack is pretty common in the internet world.

Mostly gambling sites upon registration is just asking for username, email address and password to enter the gambling sites. There are also sites that asks to check if you are already 18+ to be able to complete the registration which can be bypassed by minors for there are no requirements asked just honesty to state that you are really an adult or teenager aging 18+ to be liable on registering into an online gambling site. Many people are avoiding sites that were asking for KYC for they are afraid of the private informations to be shared online because it might be used to illegal transactions once the site you have got is a scam one which can steal your identity and make use of it with other activities.

Even if there is KYC process, still minors can do bypass the process by using other identification card to complete the registration. There is no other thing that we can control the situation but just to have a tight observation on kids not to get involved on online gambling sites although the aim of some is just to play for the sake of having fun this quarantine. We must keep in mind that there are still restrictions to be observed for minors not to get involved into those kind of games. This thing is really hard to be taken care of for we cannot monitor 24/7 the activities of the minors we have in home. But if we educate them and have awareness of clearing things out that they must not get involved in online gambling while they are still minors, maybe they would understand.

I think that can be the reason for people to playing gambling on the crypto gambling website because they don't have to fills KYC to hide their identity. Even if there is a casino that requires KYC, some gamblers will not have a problem because they know that they will protect their data. So that can make the minors will try to join in that casino because usually if a website restricts the number of the members, they really care about their safety, and the casino will protect them from the hackers. It's like the VIP elite of the casino, which only people who have a good track record can join.

It's been a debate as internet usages can really be populated by young minors, the gambling sites are not exempted as youth

nowadays are really exploring, it's the obligations of their guardians to watch everything that they are doing while they are online

gambling sites may able to restrict some but not to the fullest even they will implement KYC, minors who are good with internet

can fake it up and continue playing.

Crypto gambling sites got more popular due to its convenience and no KYC policies, even if there is KYC minors can use fake identities to pass the restrictions of gambling sites but the legit players who care about their privacy will boycott such gambling sites.Gambling is business not a service so people should be careful with what they are involving and if minor does that means the care taker should be the sole responsible for that.

No-KYC decentralized casinos should take over or players will keep getting f'ed by KYC. Wasn't Ethereum supposed to fix that? I see some so called decentralized casino ads here and there but none of them are becoming popular, that means they either suck or they can't promote their business well enough. (they probably suck)

Yeah, additional to it, VPN is now accessible and easy to use and techy kids are aware of it.

Actually, the new Opera GX which is a gaming browser that will definitely attract kids, have a VPN, they can easily access those pornsites as long as VPN exists. Platforms are already aware of it but they do not care because the only thing they care about is the profit.

I cannot fully agree with regards to KYC even if it will likely to prevent minors in joining and using a casino as there is only very few gamblers who are willing
to support it because it is too much just to gamble.

Our credentials also can't be fully protected even if the company will tell us to take good care of our privacy and data because anything can be bought by money and
there is no 100% safe in an online environment.

Teenagers who are underage can still fake it. They could take a picture of their parents ID and submit it without the gambling site knowing it. And if the parents banned gambling sites on their network, their kids could go to someone else's house and play there instead. About the gambling site promising that they will secure their customers data and information, I don't think we can trust that one.


You don't have to worry about your kids getting into something like this if you raised them well, because if you did, no matter how their friends or anybody tell them to play gambling, they won't, because they have the lessons and lectures you taught them when they were young, and that's enough foundation to trust your kids that they won't betray you.

It's been discussed in the past and I don't think KYC could stop these. As they said, there are lot of online casinos they can go to without KYC. Another thing is that they could just use another individual's personal information and use that account to gamble. It is not a problem that the casino should focus on, this should be handed to parents.

What do you exactly mean by this? Gambling has different strategies but they are the same as that of porn sites? You are contradicting yourself with that statement.

Anyway, I agree that sites would only raise warnings and then ask the visitor to confirm that he is not anymore a minor. Of course the minor visitor would have to lie so that he would be able to enter the site. The site in turn does not have any kind of way to make sure that the one who is visiting and who confirms that he is not anymore a minor is in reality not a minor.

If he is in truth a minor, the site does not know that at all.

Very well said, minors needs parental guidance in everything they do especially when there's a risk involve.

Guidance in a sense that they should not allow their kids to gamble since gambling is not fit for them, taking risk is only for matured people, not for kids, kids should explore, play and has to be guided well. Technological advancements is something that we can't stop, but if we don't have control on it or if we abuse it, it will not result to something we are expecting, anything excessive is bad, we should always know that, and gambling is not for kids.

Technological advancements had both benefited and detriment the lives of human beings.
It made almost everyone smart and tech savvy, especially the new generations.Still, there are drawbacks.
Minors being involved to gambling is subject to parental guidance, websites cannot track who is behind every screen.

It's also the same when it comes to pornographic you only need to press the "Yes" button when someone wants to watch porno videos. The button line is, they don't really care who the audience is, as long as their put warnings on it. Gambling however has different strategies but the same as that. They don't know who actually playing the dad or his kids.

Agree, kids nowadays can do what they want and can access their parents' cards secretly and buy a lot of games and battle passes for the game. So even a gambling platform, kids can definitely play even they are prohibited because it's easy to use someone's details on a specific platform and I bet that kids can do it too by using their parent's identity.

KYC isn't the solution to this, parents' guidance are needed in this kind of situation.
