Also, many countries have official gambling age but their citizens also violate this age standard.
All these abnormal ways of gambling promote gambling abuse and possible addiction which further makes gambling a societal menace.
Instead of outrightly banning gambling, how about if the concerned countries officially include gambling education in their academic syllabus, just like sex education is taught in schools. Gambling education will teach the young ones the dangers of gambling and promote moderation in gambling. Will this not be a better way to handle the gambling cases?
I disagree, it will only make people more into gambling. Minors often acquire behaviors through watching and imitating what they witness. Gambling education might unintentionally become a way for minors to participate in gambling with some attempting to do what they've learned even though the intention is not that way still it can triggered them too.
