Topic: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? - page 13. (Read 1746 times)

Like it has already been stated that before anyone should gamble the person must be above 18 years to gamble but nowadays, a lot of children gambles because they understand what gambling is all about and they enjoy gambling even more than the elders or I should call it the other ones that have been gambling for decades so therefore everyone intention is to make money so I don’t see any reason to stop anyone from gambling as long as you understand or gambling is you are free to gamble that is my own opinion.

It's bad for a gambler that's not up to age of gamble to be inside a gamble hall because the child will not learn anything there except how to gamble, and it's stated boldly that any one who is not up to 18 years shouldn't gamble because they are not matured enough to handle losses. Government should hold the family and any casino that allows underage children that gambles, more essentially the casino that allows children to gamble. If a gamble manager do not allow the child to enter the gambling hall I don't think that the child would ever go into the gambling hall with a school uniform.

Right, and I think it's a fact that most people especially young people prefer to spend most of their time on the internet which means that online casinos have a high possibility of reaching more people especially young people to get involved and gamble in them. There are so many things that we can find on the internet regardless of whether it is something positive or negative that we might include gambling in one of the negative activities here.

Of course this is something that should be a concern for most parents, because of course there is a big possibility that their children can reach gambling very easily which in addition most online casinos are now doing a lot of promotion or advertising on several social media with the aim of reaching more people, And I agree with your opinion that it is unlikely for someone who is still underage to be able to control themselves when they are involved in gambling, they are still unstable and their mindset is still undirected and also unable to make careful considerations, and one of the ways that I might suggest to minimize this possibility is by limiting them in terms of using smartphones to limit the reach of the internet.

In my country, the legal gambling age is eighteen and above. At this age, most children have graduated from secondary school, except for a few exceptions. So it is very rare to see students on uniforms in any physical casino. I have been in many betting shops where underaged children who wanted to gamble were sent back and some of them were reported to their parents and school authorities. They don't allow underaged gamblers in their casinos because the operators of the casinos can be fined or persecuted by regulatory authorities .

But some casinos are so interested in profit-making that they can accept anybody to use their gambling platform. I will report any physical casino that encourages underage gambling because they are endangering the future of these inexperienced children.

Agree with this one, not to discriminate but thish is really that reality on these developing or 3rd world on which law implementation isnt really just that too strict and even if its strict but ended up on being that corrupted then these platforms or places would really be that easily getting away with possible trouble if ever there would be some complaints about having some minors that been found into the place. This is why it would really be that so sad that they've been allowing those students to be playing up or could be seen on such place on which its not really that right and should be stopped or prohibited. If there would really be someone who would be that mindful about the condition of those kids then telling them on not to gamble is something the right thing that must be done but of course those kids wont really be listening.

They wont really be on such place if they werent that been allowed in the first place. So the gambling casino is the one who should really be blamed for this which they should have not
let those students to get inside. Even if there would be no laws or prohibitions that had been said but this is something ethical that should be done.

There should be a minimum age for a person to be allowed for gambling in any country and I hope there is one where you reside too and if the operator doesn't seems to care about it and allow kids to bet then you can call the cops or any security services related to handle these kind of things. But isn't the job of their parents to supervise what their kids are doing?

I think your are talking about those third world countries, Am I right ? So there rules and law aren't properly implemented on the people or peoples of that countries don't follow their law of government. Under age gambling is never can be a good sign for a casino so stop them and take step against them who allow child on the bar. Or you may complain against them to your authority of country.

I agree that it is not appropriate to make things Simple for a person under 18 years Old , I think that the rules should always be established for what they are , I can say that it has to be about the players who are older, and If anyone wants to play, then simply, you have to wait until you reach the age of majority, I do not recommend that you do or try to go against the rules of 18 years Because there will be problems everywhere, so due to these things it is better to continue that simple rule and not continue doing things for the sake of doing them but Always focusing on what is Essential to avoid problems in the Future, with money things must be clear.

That good profit that he is making, which made him form a blind eye over teenagers who come to gamble in a betting shop under his custody, is enough reason to not let him go unpunished. Anyone who helps the other person commit a crime should also be served the same punishment as the person who committed the crime because he is also an accomplice. 
 
Laws are laws unless they are not noticeable and can be easily ignored. Okay,  because he is looking for profit for his business, he should allow schoolchildren to skip school and gamble comfortably in his shop. That doesn't make sense. If anyone deems it necessary to take any action against the person, he will definitely not go unpunished.

It's likely the betting shop is commiting a crime by allowing teenagers dressed in school's uniforms to gamble inside the building. Even illegal casinos don't allow underage gamblers inside, because the sentences and punishments for such practices are more severe in these cases. To allow teenagers inside betting shops is really negatively seen by everyone around, including other gamblers. For the own good of the people behind this betting shop, it's better that they pay more attention to who they are allowing inside, and if it's an employee's decision, better that they instruct this employee on how to act accordingly to avoid creating issues for them later.

You did well by asking and raising concerns regards this situation inside the environment. Now you can just hope you put some good sense on the heads of the present people, so they will change their indifference towards the situation from now on.

If you are really that in concern with those kids then you would really be speaking into the head or owner of the said casino or betting place on which you would really be making out such complaint on why there are students on the vicinity on which they've been allowed on doing such thing on which we know that they shouldnt really be there in the first place. Its a right approach that you have said something like this.
No parent would really be liking on seeing their kids on doing gambling specially into their puberty days. lol. They arent that matured enough for them to be able to handle out on how gambling should really be
deal with.

On the time that you would really be allowing those fellas to play then it would really be turning out for them to become those gamblers at very young age on which this is something that
must be stopped while its still early. As a parent and seeing those kids lurking around then it would really be just that a normal approach to have.

The average online casino has specific requirements regarding the age of its customers, meaning there are specific restrictions that they must adhere to. But this age limit can still be ignored by most teenagers who are interested in gambling, especially at casinos that do not have special requirements to pass KYC when creating an account.

Wearing a school uniform to gamble at a land-based casino was something I found hard to believe. Casino security guard would know what to do and he should be able to prevent school children (in school uniform) from gambling at the casino. I'm not sure where it is or what the local gambling laws are, but this story seems unreal to me.

Wearing school uniform is definitely not a good idea to gamble. Those children are not interested in studies. Moreover, the biggest thing is that they are not even of gambling age. I think any casino companies or gambling companies must have a policy. Those who are minors should never have been allowed. But nowadays the people running the casino or gambling companies don't pay any attention to those things. They feel that minors should also be exposed to gambling to get more money. Because of their flexible position, those minors get access to the platform. Any such work should never be supported as it may lead to minor changes which will not bring any good to the society or the country.

If it is legal then there is nothing that we could do about it, it is part of the parents job to make the younger ones understand how gambling could affect their future.
Honestly I also used to gamble back when I was in highschool so I kinda understand them, the only thing that they need is someone to guide them, so that they wouldn't succumb to it, and wouldn't get addicted that they would throw away their future or get their future be destroyed.
We have been there before and some of us eneded up pretty well.

The school would definitely punish anyone engaging with gambling, drinking and smoking while using the uniform, in some cases, depending whether the school is a religious one, it could go as far as reaching to the professors and teachers themselves, so they have to make sure not to wear the uniform while doing those things. My bet is that the school never figured it out and nobody was willing sell out the identities of those teens to the authorities of the school anyways.
Again, if there is something I have learnt in this situations when people who is not supposed to be able to legally gamble manage to do it anyways, most of the times the clues point to the greed and the seek for profit which comes from the operator or owner of the betting place / casino.

Since all this is about money, then the solution would be easy, just by enforcing fines to those casinos/betting houses to allow children and teens to gamble would be enough for them to learn the lesson and ban children from entering the establishment completely.

Although I am not an active gambler, I do not want my child to become one.

And what happens in the OP's case is very unfortunate if a betting shop allows children who are still at school, even those in school uniforms, to enter the betting shop. And what makes me don't understand why the police and other officers at that location don't take firm action against this betting shop, and it seems like cases like this often happen in this betting shop. This is because there are no inspections and strict rules or prohibitions against minors, especially those who are still in school.
And if that really happens, then their future will be bleak if they are already involved in gambling because they are still in school and should be studying well.

And OP better provide photo evidence because I don't think that makes sense, and if it really happened. In my opinion, the casino shop must have received protests from the local community or been closed by the authorities.

Government only regulates the casino but they don't make sure that the casino keeps to the law. This is why you see that underage are gambling in betshop, and that should not be so. The government is not helping issues, because from what I understand they are only after the money coming out from the casino as their taxes and not about the casino activities to make sure that the casino is not abused or used by undeage. I will also blame the attendants on the betshop for allowing such child to book his bet. However, we might still put the blame on the parents and guardians of these children, because sometimes the parents or elder brother send these children to go and book a game for them, while they stay at home.

In such a scenario, I think the gamblers left school to gamble just like they usually do for video games. Things have changed and kids are beginning to develop interest in gambling more than they do in video games and other gaming activities. This is for their interest in money. Every kids needs money due to the pressure from peers in terms of possessions and gadget. Some claim they got it through gambling, yet it's not a good reason for kids to focus on gambling when they are meant to read their books. Assuming the young school kids came without school uniforms it would have been better than showing up in the gaming house with their school wears. It's a better reason for the shop managers to ouse them from the room. But they don't do it, because they need the kid's money.

Amidst all 18+ products I think alcohol has a better restrictions on young people. Gambling doesn't offer such a complete restrictions due to the differences on individuals. Some adults always bypass these kids because they are not related to one another. If they were close relatives the managers would have asked them out. It's a kind of pathological selfishness. Where everyone cares about their loved ones alone and don't give a damn on others who are not friends with them. However, those kids are only risking their mental strength. As they may not be able to control the impulses. That's why it's crucial they are being helped out of such behavior earlier as teenagers.

What if the school knew maybe the two teenagers would get punished for playing gambling in school uniform, the owner of the gambling shop should have prohibited it but did not know what their rules were there, if the category of children then it was not allowed.

Gambling is now angrily penetrating into children who maybe they saw the beginning of it on the internet then tried it and got addicted to playing, but with this situation it goes back to the parents who educate them he must know that easy generations should not play gambling unless they have reached their age limit.

But because the country may be legal, there are no restrictions on who enters the store nor does it question the age even though there are clear rules.

Gambling companies have a stipulated age for gambling which I think is 18 years, this is 18 is believed to be the age that every growing person can be able to have control over him or herself and take decision of whats right.
The story you narrated I think the bet shop cahier and the owner of the shop should be arrested because normally the shop owner would have instructed his employee on what to do, for you as a bettor to see that, it means that it is not the first day such thing will be happening, the society at large has changed and things are been done differently this time because of love of money, i think place like this should be exposed so that they will face the law adequately.
