If it has a big risk for the younger generation then the developers should ask for KYC. We aren't sure if underage players would be honest about their age and it might only lead them to gambling addiction which will surely affect their lives negatively if they couldn't handle it well. Developers should consider this possible scenario since most players are underage these days.
Underage players are now getting smarter to access gambling sites that do not allow them to access, but they are very difficult to control.
Unfortunately, gambling sites are now very easy to access by underage players, they simply claim to be over 18 years old. I agree that this
will jeopardize the future of the younger generation, so in the end there must be firmness on gambling sites to enforce KYC. The problem is
that there are some gambling sites that don't care about this problem, they only think about profits with the many players who join.
So the role of the government is needed by making rules, so that gambling sites are required to apply KYC, this is all to protect the future of
the younger generation.
Well, I agree when you said that kids nowadays are getting smarter, but it's not gambling site fault's if there are kids playing on their site, because in the first place, parents are the one who is responsible on monitoring their child's activities in the internet, besides, even if they do KYC, kids might stole their parent's ID to submit it to be verified, easy as that.
There are options in your internet service provider that bans certain sites that is harmful for your child, that way, you coud monitor everything they do.
All kids are still the responsibility of their parents, but the problem now is that many parents are also busy with their work. Moreover, some parents
don't even keep up with technological advances, so parents find it difficult to control their children when accessing the internet. Indeed, applying
KYC does not guarantee 100% of kids cannot access the gambling site, kids can steal the identity of their parents or borrow someone else's identity.
In the end, none of the solutions to prevent kids from accessing gambling sites are perfect. Maybe parents provide education about gambling or sex
from an early age to children. so children can understand the dangers of accessing porn and gambling sites.
