*Do you know or have you heard of any gambling sites or existing gambling centres specifically designed for underaged children?
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.

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


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.

I am not sure if there is any centres available for the underage children. As a parents what you can do is restrict your underage child from using smartphones or PCs frequently. Keep a track of your money and balances. When a chile is underage, the parents are the best mentor for giving them the right direction. Putting them in rehabilitation centre won’t help with their addiction. Control your children and divert them into other things. Moreover the casinos now have already become smart and they are forcing KYC, if they sense any abnormality in the accounts.
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.

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.

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'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.

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.
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.

And if I may ask, of what benefits could this be or will this be to the underage children you wish to organize such gambling center for either offline or online to be gambling? So have you forgotten that these set are referred as "Children" simply because their sole responsibility are rested on their parents or sponsors, of which they said to have no money of their own, simply because they are mostly students. Hence, these set of people don't have any business to do with gambling, and likewise drinking of alcohol, which is why it's always rated 18yrs and above.
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.

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.

If creating an online gambling site specifically for minors with the aim of controlling gambling activities and addictions, I think it is impossible to succeed as expected because they will continue to gamble and how can it be controlled and cured of addiction.
However, to control and stop addiction is to suppress every gambling activity, even to completely eliminate the habit of gambling, not to provide special place for gambling, this is really an idea and narrative that I think is not quite right.

That doesn't make sense to me, and there are no gambling sites provided for minors. Realistically, it is very risky for the platform founders and no one would ever build a business like that.
Gambling is designed for use by gamblers who are 18 years or older or who have more mature thinking and better control. Although there are many underage children gambling and becoming addicted out there, it's all their business, and no online gambling entity will ever care about it. Because gambling is always closely tied to each individual's responsibility to exercise strong self control.
So there is no way or anything to control or regulate gambling addiction.

Gambling and children are two words that never will be together, there is no casino who will allow kids to place bets. And there is a good reason for it. Gambling can generate addiction same as drugs and alcohol, so, letting a kid gamble is like letting him go to a bar and get wasted.

And most of the casinos have KYC nowadays, if the kid hits a jackpot it will be impossible for him to claim that money and get it out from the casino. Trying to find a site for underaged gamblers addicted will be like finding a site for underaged alcoholics.

No, I haven't heard anything like that but if something like that happens then it's going to be helpful for the underage children who got addicted to gambling. In fact I believe underage children should not be allowed to gamble, and parents should be more careful to check online activity of their young ones.
There's a reason as why you haven't heard it, it's because minors or underage people shouldn't be doing it. It shouldn't exist but rather avoid them and stop them from doing so especially to those young people who don't even have a stable income.

Gambling is too much for minors whereas even us of the right age are too prone to be caught up with addiction, how more to these children who strives to get rich quick and are irresponsible.

If it was ethical for children to gamble, there would have been no caution of above 18 stated on the terms and conditions of service and the government would not have bothered to put laws restricting underage gambling. OP, I wish you could hear yourself, I wish you could just sit and reflect on your comment of underage gambling and how it sounds to your hearing and your thoughts.

I believe as a result of addiction and other side effects of gambling, the government restricted underage gambling and made it a crime against the law. The idea of such opinion does not sound normal and as such is not advisable to hold onto.

Yes, it will only help if a child has already fallen into gambling addiction, but I would not agree if someone had the idea to create a gambling site specifically for minors, because after all, a minor should be kept away from gambling, keep anything related to gambling away from the eyes of children, because it could potentially damage their mindset and threaten their future.

....No? Why would there be gambling centers centered around children? There's a LEGAL age for gambling, similar to how intaking alcohol and other related stuff exists afaik. That's also why KYC and other identity related stuff are usually needed when playing, to prevent underaged gamblers themselves.

And idk why you keep specifying underaged children, if you wanted to tackle people who are addicted then rehab centers, in general, can help. It helps people of all ages.

How can you control an addiction if you legalize it? We are trying to prevent children from gambling, not encourage them. I do not get the logic behind this. Some reverse psychology will not work because many kids will actually enjoy the prospect of having a legit platform to gamble. I do not support this idea as it will just worsen the gambling addictions among children. If adults, whose brains have developed properly already, get addicted from gambling how do you think children who are still immature do with legit platforms?

Do you perhaps mean gambling centers for curing gambling addiction?--the term site can also be used to describe a place-- and not gambling casinos specifically for playing? Though minors aren't allowed to gamble, it's not that hard to find ways to slip through imo.

It just doesn't make sense how op talked about concerns on gambling addiction then proceeded to an idea of introducing children to casinos lol. I think the post could be poorly worded. Let us know, op.

The children should not engage in the gambling game,because they will be immature in nature.So the losses in the game will leads to the biggest loss for them,they even try to commit suicide for the loss.They would not have the maturity of the money can be earned and loss are the passing cloud of our life.The gamblers while playing itself should accept the loss and play the games with individual responsibility.By this only the gamblers can’t be affected by the losses in the game.The important one to be avoided by the gambler is he should not play the game by taking loan from his friends.This will trigger him to play the game with more pressure.

This is ridiculous and insane at the same time!

Just as there is no safe level of alcohol or tobacco for children to consume, there is also no acceptable amount of conscious gambling for them.
People should be introduced to gambling at the age of 18 and over. I think it is not enough to allow 16-year-olds to gamble in some countries.

Governments should create programs for financial education, that is a fact, but never associate this with the "conscious use" of gambling.

I believe that educational games that do not involve real money, providing guidance on common everyday practices such as the conscious use of credit cards, the need for consumption versus the personal satisfaction of having something, are something that should be encouraged, always preventing anything that is harmful to people financially.

Why do I have this strong feeling that this is an initiative to recruit more underage children into gambling or another means to modernize and justify the fact that more and more underage children are becoming gambling addicts in recent times?

I have never heard of any site or gambling site special designed for underageed kids. And i dont care to know.

Things like this should be eradicted immediately they are being brought up because it will do more harm than good in the society we live in.

Gambling sites state that minors cannot participate in gambling. It states that a gambler must be at least 18 years of age and below 18 years of age cannot participate in gambling. That's why many gambling sites require users to face KYC because only if KYC is done, a gambler is an adult. Usually during the childhood or teenage years, the appropriate time for studying will not be created enough for them to build a career if they spend this time on gambling. So a minor gambler must follow different rules when participating in gambling.  If school or college students participate in gambling, their studies will be disrupted and they will not be able to pursue their careers properly.

Never heard of any gambling centres or anything that's near it for underage and I never want to hear anything about it if there is one. That's absurd.

It's a responsibility failure as a parent if we cannot keep our children out of this habit. They may be having some trouble with their family which could be the reason why their eyes are set on bad things such as gambling, drugs, alcohol, and other stuff that is addictive.
What about abandoned kids? Now it becomes the failure of the government for not having enough institutions to bring these kids to the right path so they can be useful in the future of the country.
We don't teach them to gamble or be responsible gamblers. As much as possible cut them from doing it again and set the right path.

Since some of us, if not all of us are aware of the issues of gambling addiction being a concern for the government of some countries and they know that some of the gamblers are very young and have picked up such habits from a very young age and it's from those who are close, elderly and addicted and indulge so quite often;

Make no mistake this isn't any solution to underage gambling in anyway. As in, it makes no sense, no difference that the government or anyone would want to create children gambling sites as a control mechanism to curb the menace on children gambling. 

Entertaining such an initiative can only encourage more kids into off/online gambling, for there are quite other better public policies to come up with in discouraging underage gambling which the government can embark on.

Maybe a perennial debates programmes on negative impact of gambling on underage could be sponsored and organized with parents encouraging their kids and wards to participate or attend even as spectators to the event. This alone can narrow some positive changes on underage-gambling.

I am neither curious nor in favor of it, actually.Being addicted to gambling is already bad as an adult, being addicted to it since childhood or adolescence sounds equally or even more serious and dangerous for the person personal growth.
I have never seen any place which allows children and teens to gamble and honestly, I would not like to know any which does. The furthest I have seen it is how some forms of gambling are being pushed inside the video game industry in the form of so-called "loot boxes", which I al sure have already introduced some children and teens to gambling around the world.

By the way, there are countries in which there are societal problems which do not allow children to attend school, imagine how that could change for the worse if those same people were introduced to gambling at such young age?

I literally have not heard of any gambling site designed for children, or likewise secondly I don't think it's a nice idea creating such, inasmuch as money will be involved in the gambling process for underage childrens.

And if I may ask, of what benefits could this be or will this be to the underage children you wish to organize such gambling center for either offline or online to be gambling? So have you forgotten that these set are referred as "Children" simply because their sole responsibility are rested on their parents or sponsors, of which they said to have no money of their own, simply because they are mostly students. Hence, these set of people don't have any business to do with gambling, and likewise drinking of alcohol, which is why it's always rated 18yrs and above.
The funny thing is that it doesn't make any difference if the site is made for children alone. Gambling will be done, and children will wager some money, place bets, and lose or win. It's not like there will be any special treatment or games that would make them not addictive.

I think the idea of what OP has said is the fact that they have to make games more friendly and look like they are having more fun while gambling. Funny enough I dont see age in gambling. If a child is underage (below 18) he can still win a huge amount and be given his reward in gambling. Gambling is no respecter of age or size. If we lose, we have a loss, and when we win, it will rejoice.

This is concerning, especially considering how early exposure to gambling can negatively impact young people. Governments and regulators in many countries are actively trying to curb gambling addiction, particularly among minors, by introducing stricter age verification processes and imposing heavy regulations on gambling platforms.

The idea of creating gambling centers or sites specifically for underaged children would be counterproductive and ethically problematic. Gambling is an addictive activity, and exposing children to it in any form, whether regulated or not, would only heighten the risks. Instead, the focus should be on creating preventive measures like education about gambling risks, implementing better parental controls, and enforcing stricter regulations on access.

To my knowledge, there are no legal gambling platforms or centers designed for underaged individuals, as most countries prohibit gambling for minors altogether. It’s important that any efforts to tackle gambling addiction prioritize safeguarding vulnerable groups, especially children.

No gambling platform will allow children under 18 to gamble. There is no gambling approach site for minors, all gambling sites must be over 18 years old to be able to register and play all the games they offer.

If you want to prevent children from gambling, then educate your children well and also keep them away from the internet if you don't want your children to become addicted to gambling early.

Meanwhile, the developments that are happening in the world are developing quite rapidly because all corners may already have an internet network so that if children are not controlled and supervised as well as possible, of course they can gamble by faking their age.

Do you know that sometimes you can indirectly introduce someone to something that you are trying to protect them from all in the name of trying to educate them about that particular thing? You can try to create a learning environment where you will want to educate the young ones how to avoid gambling addiction, and at the same time most of them will be tempted to move and act aside what you are teaching by trying to practice it when no one is watching them.
 
Unless the child is off age, I don't see it wise to engage them in such discussion or training, as it might bring more disadvantage than achieving the main purpose of that awareness.

Nope, haven't heard of it nor even think it would happen. I mean, why would a government or any NGO build something that supposed to be non-existent? Under aged are prohibited in any casinos or gambling places in the first place. So, government should either sue the casino or the parents if they found one violating such regulations.
Building such centers or an online website is just a waste of resources and I doubt it will have any significant effects to those young minds who got inflicted with gambling habits.
I think engaging children more into sports or e-sports will aid your concern.

if you want to curb gambling addiction or control it, the best way to do it is through gambling awareness seminars(or something similar to that), a lot of schools are already teaching about sex ed, substance abuse prevention etc...., including gambling awareness education would be better than creating a "gambling site" designed for children.

In fact I have never seen any gambling platform designed for underage boys. Most of the gambling platforms I have seen offer 18+ approval. But I also know that most of the minors are playing online gambling but I can't find any way to prevent it. Children whose parents are very aware may stay away from gambling and those whose parents are not very aware not to mention using mobile phones may indulge in gambling. Mobile phones should not be allowed to be used at all to keep minor children away from online gambling. Recently, mobile phones are used more by minor children and they are more addicted to online gambling. However, to keep minor children away from online gambling or offline gambling, their parents should be very aware and should always keep a close eye on their children and should not be allowed to use mobile phones.

Reducing the level of addiction or curing people from addiction problems or preventing a child from experiencing addiction problems will only be possible if there is no idea of ​​"gambling involvement" in the idea you think of. Whatever the type of idea or even if you think that the idea is effective but if there is an element of gambling involvement then of course it will never be the right solution to keep people including minors away from addiction.

Moreover, gambling is not recommended or not for minors, the idea will only destroy their future, the point is if you want to save children from addiction problems then keep them away from gambling activities, it's that simple.

* More of a rehabilitation center for the gambling addicts and let these children have a tour to see their conditions or have them interviewed? I think that's a good idea if that's it so that they'll know the possible consequences if they will fall into gambling at a young age. They'll picture it on their minds to see what life will be for them when they fall for gambling addiction whether they're at a young age or when they become adults. The thought will be stuck on their mind and they'll remember that as they grow older.

* For sure if there's none, they'll be easily closed. I think you need to paraphrase that and insert about, that it's not the actual gambling center but a gambling center for control. Well, English isn't my first language so others might misunderstood the question.

There’s no need for this, don’t teach them anything related to gambling - you can teach them the effect of addiction using different example it doesn’t necessarily need to be gambling and how to avoid being addicted to something.

There a reason casinos made sure they restricted the age that can access and use their site - if teaching them how to curb addiction would solve the issue then there would have been no restriction to begin with.

Awareness is good but this also opens the idea to the minds of these young ones to test them out. And we know what comes next upon being curious with such matters.

These young minds will do what it takes for them to do it again and again. So, although the idea is good and the intention is good. It's much better not to introduce it to them while they're at that age. Much better to raise awareness when they grow older or at least at the right age.

But with that, what age exact underage children are we talking here?

Gambling still remains gambling as long as the children will be wagering on the outcome of events. As long as these children will be risking their money just to gamble,  I see no need for a gambling centre or site meant for children. The implication of creating such for children is that these children will learn how to gamble from a very young age and by the time they get older, they are already stuck with gambling. We know that as children, they might not have the ability to control themselves when they  are going extreme with gambling, especially online gambling.

Anyone who intends to help these children become good and responsible gamblers in the future should channel that energy In letting them know how gambling can ruin their lives. That knowledge would live with them till they grow old.

Instead to mentioned gambling center since kids is involved here why not say a game center, just like what we have in most mall around the world, in shoptrite, there is a big game house in the mall and kids go there to play all kinds of games, and  in fact some of them pay to play those games and this is still far from gambling.

But the truth is that, kids that are used to this kinds of games can easily become gamblers in the near future since they already have the basic foundations from those computer games.

If any attempts are to be made to control gambling addiction in underage children, it should not be in the direction of establishing online or offline centers designed for them. It should be in the direction of educating each child to know the exact dangers of becoming addicted gamblers from an early age.

*Do you know or have you heard of any gambling sites or existing gambling centres specifically designed for underaged children?
It seems like you're asking if there is any bar or pub that specifically allows underage people to buy and drink alcohol, or a strippers club for the underaged.

Not everything can be for the underaged; they simply have to wait until maturity.

No, I have not and I do not see how this can help curb gambling addiction when you are targeting an age group that should not be involved in gambling at all.

If there should be any exposure to gambling among children, it should be a form of education on how to avoid potentially addictive activities and identify those who may be illegally accessing it to ease them off early.

Haven't heard or encounter such site or venue that is allowing underaged children to play gambling games. I don't think any platform will offer such services because at the end of the day, it is still categorized in gambling.

Are you really seriously talking about gambling with children? I don’t think that’s a good idea and that would be a problem when they become an adult because they might form a different kind of relationship with gambling that may be detrimental to their future.

And we imagine being you so young and then being exposed to it and even liking it. What do you think would happen if he doesn’t get a positive note on it? It will be a Problem: No gambling. It’s going to be a problem, in my opinion.

The basic rules should be no gambling for children. No gambling to people who have no money.
