I wanted to write this post because I recently stumbled across an article where apparently a minor was accidentally allowed in an offline casino and it got me thinking how it would be easier for kids to reach the gambling sites online.

This happened in Australia.
I do know of wonderful online casino sites who are taking care of people who are struck by the pandemic at the same time creating a support helpline for the customers.
Few things I would like to discuss here:
1) If KYC along with other information is needed to make sure Minors cannot access the gambling sites , I do think we should support it , until and unless the company agrees to take care of the privacy and data of their customers that I know they happily will.
If a minor can get in and play in an online gambling casino, then the parents should be blame for this, it's the responsibility of the parents to make sure that their children cannot access online gambling sites and online adult sites, they have an option to block gambling sites or they can monitor their children's activities online.
