Topic: Gambling centres/online gambling sites for underaged children? (Read 420 times)

School, Parent and Guardians are to take the responsibility of telling these young ones about the vices in the society and how to stay away from such. Underage are not supposed to gamble and that is why parents are to checkmate their children's activities and the kind of friends that they keep. Telling them the disadvantage of gambling and using someone as an example will help a lot.

Gamblers should also keep their gambling activities secret so that the younger ones will not learn how to gamble from you because children often practice what they learn from home easily that what they learnt outside. Don't send them to book games for you in a bet shop and keep the joy of your wins to yourself.

Creating a gaming platform for children is a terrible idea. That is why gaming sites are only 18+ and personal data must be verified to prevent minors from playing. Young people at this age most often do not have a source of income since they are still studying in educational institutions, and if they start playing games and with particular passion, this may not lead to the best consequences.

Haha, I remembered that too. By the way, there was a case in one country recently, when there was a box with a new iPhone in such a machine and when the child pulled it out, it turned out that there was a piece of chocolate in the box. It turns out that he was deceived, the parents are going to go to court because of this, haha.

When it comes to gambling, in which minors can be involved, I immediately remember about skins in games and trading platforms, such as Steam, for example, and others. I think that children can spend their parents' money if the temptation is so great. Therefore, parents need to monitor their wallets more carefully.

There is mate, like for example here in our local, a lot of children here are roaming in the streets and begging. They are then being caught and bring to some centres or organizations that are specifically built for a children like them.

I'm not sure if the centres for underage people who have been abused and did a crime are different from that but I think it's better if they are separated because their cases are also different anyway and that ensures that they will have enough spaces. Like the saying, 'prevention is better than cure', so your suggestion is a must to follow. I'm sure that none of us like the situation to become worse as that can cause more damage which includes more expense and a literal damage to the victims mental, physical and emotional health.

Tracking our money is also a good thing even though we already monitor their gadget use because there are still physical establishment where they can do their postponed activities. Parents are the best mentor because this is the ones that child can see every time. Apart from parents, I think the next one would be the teachers on their school. So, it's advisable for the teacher to talk to their students personally sometimes, especially if they notice something weird or wrong with them.

This idea seems strange to me.
Children should never get involved in gambling or betting. Unfortunately, there is a lot of the latter now, and betting is presented as a fun activity where you can have fun and root for your favorite team. And teenagers often agree to this. But the problem is that they are essentially children and do not know how to control themselves.
And of course, the organizers of betting platforms will not care when a problematic gambler child starts taking things out of the apartment.

What can benefit a young organism striving to become a leader among its peers? The answer is obvious: sports. Unfortunately, today's youth rarely prefer to visit centers to pump themselves up with health; rather, the opposite—gambling centers, games, and everything that concerns the restriction of movement—turns our children into lazy, unplanned people, with the sole purpose of getting rich, but at the same time, doing nothing. Many children, to establish themselves in their society, will try many methods, and here it will not always be a question of money, but being in their environment is an important factor for the child's psyche. Therefore, all that parents and society can do to ensure that young people grow up to be self-sufficient people is to organize places in whose policies there are no gambling or alcohol, but on the contrary, there is something that can form a normal, thinking person.

No, I have not heard of such centers, but even if they exist, the most important thing is the test of time. I mean that any addiction should be treated by not allowing the player to play for a long time and conducting various psychotherapies. To show that there is an ordinary life in which there is no place for addiction and such a life is full. Nevertheless, I am absolutely convinced that addicts of any age, even those who had it many years ago, can break down and start doing it again. Ultimately, each addict must realize and rethink all this on their own in order to overcome it forever.

Hell to the NO. Fire cannot be quenched with fire. Fire should be quenched with water. Gambling addiction cannot be controlled through the creation of "specialized" gambling centers like you are insinuating. It will trigger more gambling and more addiction. Parents should wake up and start to take responsibility for their underaged kids or any kid living under their roof. That is one of the most effective wats to curb and control gambling addiction in kids. The government can only do so much, but it must start from the home because like they say, charity begins at home.

If that is related to young age, it will be responsibility from their parents to watch, monitor, and beside their parents. An underaged children will not know about gambling if their parents can explain the danger of gambling and why they should stay away from gambling. With knowledge they get from their parents, they will know that playing gambling can makes them lose the money and the worst is they can get addicted to gambling. When a children addicted to gambling, they can do bad things such as steal other people money to playing gambling because they don't have a source of income. I never know if any gambling sites or existing gambling centers designed for underaged children.

Never heard and I doubt it would curb gambling addiction. Now we know that even underage children gamble with cryptocurrency as it is easy to do so and this generation has massive exposure to technology to make this happen. What can be done is to regulate crypto casinos to ask mandatory KYC but that would make mad many small players who are happy to play without KYC up to a certain level. This is a difficult problem to solve and many steps and institutions should heavily be involved if they want to curb or stop addiction of gambling. For the moment there is only one benefit of such happening is that we get some extra new crypto users through this.

Agree. While everyone tries to fight addiction, OP suggests to open an institution whos goal is to make even more gamblers. Instead of creating a gambling center where underaged could be monitored and their gambling activity would be controlled, it would be more wise to open free sport or any other hobby centers, where children could switch their attention and passion from gambling to someone else; make them focus on different things.

As you know gambling for underaged is actually not allowed and why would a gambling site allowed and permit children to gamble.
I don't think this is a good step to follow, because at that age if they go into gambling it could entirely damaged their lives so it wouldn't be that good and wise to permits children who are not upto age to start gambling and even if you found such the best approach is to tell them the implications of gambling at young age.

I haven't heard of such centers and the idea seems stupid.
It's like trying to cure drug addiction by giving more drugs to the addicts or trying to cure alcohol addiction by giving more alcohol to the alcoholics. The only good idea would be sending the underaged gambling addicts to a psychic doctor, who will give the professional help.
The governments around the world must pay for this and such rehab centers should be created in multiple countries.
The internet is full with gambling games, where the user doesn't have to play with real money, but I don't think that such gambling games would help the children. They might help older gamblers, but definitely not children.

I've never heard anything of the sort where they have online or offline gambling establishments for underaged children, that'll be awkward. The idea is totally unnecessary and shouldn't even be considered for our children. Gambling should be for adults only, and the grown-ups should have sources of income to get money to use for gambling. Dependants are not qualified to gamble because they're not earning money yet, it's easy to lose another person's hard earned money in gambling. If you've reached 18 years and above then you're eligible to gamble but if you're not earning your own money then you're not qualified to gamble.

Exactly, we shouldn't be thinking about gambling site or casinos for underage, it would just cause more harm than good. They have parks and fun centre to go to and create memories, why gamble at such a young age? I'm still wondering how gambling sites or casinos for minors can help curb gambling addiction from a little age, because this is introducing them into the world of gambling, that is not good for a miminorso get into.

 It's already obvious that anybody with a phone can access online casinos or games and stuff like that. The least we can do, both as adults and the government, is to try to cut instances of gambling for these minors. Just like restricting minors go into physical casinos, not letting them gamble, and not bringing instances of gambling for them. Even if there must be a betting game, let's say, a charity or sports activity, underage shouldn't be allowed to bet. Let the adults bet for themselves; they shouldn't train them in a way that they have the mindset of betting over something or stuff like that.

Quite alright, we know that when these kids go to school or go out with friends, they might play bet games in school, you know, to win something, and become the coolest kid in school. But whatever way adults can help curb gambling in both in the family as parents or elderly ones, in school as teachers, at church/mosque, as spiritual directors, we should try our best and not give them an opportunity to jump into gambling in full. So yes even in legalized gambling countries, underage are not allowed to gamble.

How can a gambling site be specifically designed for children when the normal gambling sites don't even allow underage adult that are less than 18 to gamble on thier platform? Gambling might have gained popularity among children, youths and adult but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be regulated and that everyone can just partake in gambling regardless of thier age. It's even deficult for adult to cope with issues of addiction even when they are more matured emotionally and psychologically.

As a parent, I wouldn't allow my child to go into gambling when he's not financially bouyant enough to sort out his needs and manage his finance effectively. The way I even look at it, anyone that can't take care of his finance shouldn't even be allowed to gamble at all until he's gotten financial intelligence and then he can make decisions for himself.

I have never found a gambling center specifically designed for minors, even I think that even in countries that legalize gambling they don't do this but I don't know if it's possible in countries that legalize gambling this does exist?
With the existence of online or offline gambling, it does make many people addicted and not only from one group, the old or the young, even minors are already familiar with online gambling, this happens in my environment where my country actually does not allow gambling activities but with the existence of online gambling, everyone can access it easily and secretly.
It is difficult to find a way to prevent or minimize the level of gambling addiction, this in my country is like an official game even though it is actually prohibited. Some people are very happy to share their stories in public without fear of getting into legal trouble, this is sad in my opinion.

Of course there's a gambling for underaged children, this one is the example.



Pretty sure the police will caught @OP and send him to the jail, it's really sensitive for adults to interact with children, even touching them make people will look at you. The authority is really serious with children, you can't find casino that serve for children, child porn, child grooming etc.

If @OP ask this question on his personal account social medias, I wonder what kind of feedback he will receive lol.

Gambling is not for children. so there is no need for a gambling site specifically for them.
The fear is not because they do not have money to gamble. it could be that the children are from a wealthy environment, so money may not be a problem for children to gamble. the problem is the level of understanding of risk and the weak emotional control of children.

Children under age should be directed to fun games, not gamble with what they have. I do not expect there will be a gambling site for children under age.

I agree with you. The use of mobiles and PCs for children is constantly increasing and they are becoming highly addicted to these electronics. It is very important to keep your beloved children away from these devices as it can reduce their eyesight and have negative effects from using various inappropriate sites. Also, they can get used to playing various paid games which can affect your balance so you should try your best to keep them out of reach of children.

You should find out the cause of addiction to these electronics and take the children out for occasional outings so that they are not exposed to harmful entertainment items. In modern society, the space for children's mental development is getting smaller and parents are not able to spend enough time to look after them due to which they become addicted.
