Topic: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? - page 14. (Read 1749 times)

In the past, people used to look out for one another but it is not so anymore. Rather than looking out for one another we simple look for what to put on social media for likes and validation. We all have a collective responsibility towards these kids especially the underaged kids. They should not be allow around a betting shop let alone even granting them permission to enter into the betting shop.

It is a failure of the society and this needs to be addressed ASAP if not we won't have kids anymore. Back in the days, all kids want to do after school is go ride bicycle with their fellow kids and play in the park. Parenting was intentional. This is not so again. It has all gone bad and the government needs to increase their campaign against underaged betting. I say a bill should be passed that fines the bet shop operators that allow these kids in their premises even if they are not betting.

what? you saw two teenagers with uniforms gambling and you automatically thought that younger ones were taking gambling more seriously than school, I'm sorry but how in the hell did you land on that conclusion? Are students in your area constantly gambling? if so why not report the betting shops letting these kids gamble on their betting shops? I suggest taking pictures as evidence when you present your complaint to the authorities. that being said, I can't help but wonder whether the authorities will actually do something about it.

gambling has become open to the extent that when you fail to hold your children tight they will think that the gambling is the best option, in normal circumstances any child that is not up to 18 years is not supposed to participate in gambling and that is another reason that we encourage people not to discuss anything that have to do with the gambling whenever they are around home because their children we think that it is the best thing so far to do is don't participate in gambling so gambling is meant for adult not for children so any child that is up to 18 years and above is eligible to participate in gambling

In general, I agree on this since students in my country is not even allowed to enter on computer shop which is play for online games only when they are on school uniform.

But the OP never mention what is the exact age of the student because there’s an instances that a college student has an age above 18 when their course is 5 years or they repeat some school year. I have a lot of classmate before that is around 25 above while I’m still 18 on college since they stop many school year due to poverty then later on back to school after they already have money to finish their studies.

I doubt this is the case on this discussion but I’m totally okay if these students is same of what I’m referring.

That's ugly I would have asked them to leave the premises or asked the betting shop not to let them bet unless youth gambling is allowed, the children are on the bad track if they continue betting they will stop their schooling and instead focus on gambling, that's where their future gt busted.

The betting shops are responsible people for allowing the youth to vote they should've been ashamed of themselves; they are hungry for profit, I will talk to the betting shop manager and remind him of their obligation and his responsibility as a mature individual, a gambler should not patronize this kind of betting shop, I think a boycott should be done in this betting shop.

I think the store is already abusing it their business license. Stores must not allow minors to enter there. The solution you mentioned above is much better, it can scare children or deter them from entering gambling shops.The reason is, they are not old enough to know the game. There will definitely be bad impacts for the teenager, whether it's stealing or something else if they are addicted. If they are found not complying with business permits, the authorities must act decisively, not only in shops but also at schools, they will give strong warnings to both parties.

In uniforms? Which means they could be somewhere between 12 - 17? Am I right?
Well, I don't think they should be gambling at that age. But if those are college students who are also working in their spare time then it might be okay for me. At least they are using their own hard-earned money rather than other kids who are using their parents' money to gamble.
I think they already have the right to do that if they are working because that way they already know how important money is especially if they lose it in gambling. Frustrations will happen and it could become a learning point for them to not do it again the next time they get their salary.
But if they are dependent, then someone should stop these kids, especially the owner of that gambling place. He should know what it will feel like if it is his kids who are on that position.

You did not mention the country. Your country is so lax when it comes to gambling regulation, or they do not have one, or they have one, but they are not strict in implementing the law.

The government and the home are the two institutions that should take care of the youth and exposing them to gambling at an early age will ruin their mind. This is a corruption of minors, and when they grow up they are misled by thinking that there is money to be made in gambling, if your country had a law about gambling against minors then you should report the betting shop to the authorities if there is none then its better to tell their parents so they will be the one to teach their children.

although it will be difficult to control young people not to gamble. But at least the casino management encouraged the children to change out of their school uniforms.
There should be an age limit for casino users. but sometimes those limits are not used. After all they brought money to bet with and as long as they didn't make a mess there probably wouldn't be any problems.

The question that may be asked is how these school children get money for betting. although I'm sure it's not a big game bet. but still they get limited pocket money from their parents for eating, not gambling.

Land based or physical casinos carries the 18 years warning sign to deter underage from gambling but sadly, people do not heed to this warning in some countries. The gambling attendant do not need to ask for IDs to verify their age, seeing the school children on uniform is enough reason to chase them away. Even if they've clocked 18 years, after school hours they're supposed to go home, freshen up before anything else. If it were in some part of the world, the he could get locked up for allowing the kids to gamble.

School going youths should not gamble because if they get addicted to gambling it can ruin their future. Gambling is very interesting thing especially it has more impact on kids because kids love to play games and gambling games are very enjoyable to play. Although adults use gambling to earn income, school-going youths use gambling games only for fun, but this fun puts their future in jeopardy. so I don't think school going youth should gamble

Such cases often occur, where young people who are still students are caught cheating and are caught gambling. This is no longer a strange thing.
The point is: parental supervision and including the responsibility of the casino owner is an important role in prohibiting students from gambling, but what is human, lust and greed, Such cases are often ignored, as if the casino doesn't know about it and allows them to bet.

However, not all casino shops allow students to gamble, but sometimes it cannot be denied that we will see such things with our eyes, the role of the gambling shop owner is very important, If the casino owners are indifferent and the parties responsible do not act, maybe in the next 4-10 years, we will see elementary school children caught gambling, the community and the police are responsible for these actions.

I understand your points but do you aswell think it is just too easy like you said. There is every reason why the manager kept a blind eye to the teenagers gambling, who told you he never knew it was inappropriate to let them gamble, he let them because he was getting good profits from the teenagers so he has less interest if they keep on playing or not. For you chasing them out means the manager lossing some money which may arise to a dispute between the both of you and as we know this teenagers are now very saucy and difficult to accepting corrections, they might aswell gang up against you instead of them learning and correcting themselves.

If they are underage, then it is illegal as per most countries laws. But uniformed people does not necessarily mean they are teenagers, they may be early college goes with a college that has a uniform. The fact here is that this could also be a bunch of kids smoking in the public in place of gambling, these are all vices in one form and another.

They are spending their own money on gambling so you have no place to stop them. It is definitely wrong to do that irresponsibly but you can only spread the awareness about gambling and its bad effects, just like smoking and alcoholism.

It's very wrong to get into a casino or the gambling house as the case maybe to gamble with a school uniform it shows disrespect for the school a d a bad representation of such school. Secondly the age of such teenagers should aswell be put to consideration because almost every casino has got that age restriction so it's very far from it saying that gambling should be for everyone, there's an age limitations of which if these guys aren't up to the age I don't think they should be in that place at that time doing any form of gambling as it's very wrong and not responsible to do.

Gambling is ment for both Young and old but there's still restrictions as to the age limit with which you can gamble not minding if you are young , you must attain that age which accounts for your ability to make decisions as an adult.

It's a shame if they are still in school but already know about gambling and even gamble. I think it's possible that they could become addicted to gambling, because what is currently happening is that many young people are gambling. especially with the existence of online gambling nowadays which makes it easy for everyone to access it, also with today's young people where they can't stay away from cellphones and the internet this makes it easier for them to get to know it.

Of course parents will provide good guidance to their children, it is impossible for parents to provide bad guidance, because that is not a good thing for their future. and with their activities outside the home and outside school, the surrounding environment can determine who they want to mix with. If they have the wrong social circle, maybe they can do bad things, such as getting to know and also doing gambling or other bad things, but even that depends on the children themselves, if they can differentiate between good things for him and bad things for him.

It is not proper and shouldn't be encouraged. Anyone supporting underage gambling doesn't know one of the rules of gambling that states that a youngster below 18 years shouldn't gamble or find their way into a gambling house.

I wouldn't stay in a place where I would see younger ones gambling without reacting badly to what makes them think of gambling at a young age. What exactly are they looking for in a gambling house, is it to make money in gambling at a tender age and forget about education?

OP, it is weird that someone could ask whether is there any age restrictions on gambling. Like, it is free to allow underage to gamble at any place we find them to be since there are no restrictions given by the gambling house that those below 18 years shouldn't gamble.

Definitely no, if you already have a kids, do you want your kids become a gambler?

It's surprising how the betting shop's employees allowing young people to gamble, they're the one who should reject them. Since you know that betting shops allow minors, why you didn't report them to police? remember if you didn't take any action for wrongdoing, you're technically a part of them.

Exactly the rate at which young ones gamble is really alarming and besides no restrictions is being followed to put that on effects,it's really not proper seeing younger ones doing this because it will only limits their nurture and ambitions of focusing on their education.
And I think any land base sites that overlook restrictions for under 18 should be sanctioned and dealt with,cause with this it will only make the society and country worse and we might end up getting toxic people in the society.

It is not recommended, gambling may be wiser for adults who are old enough. the reason is, this type of entertainment requires funds as capital for gambling. apart from that, gambling is fun but has impacts that must be understood by someone who does it or enjoys it. there is a part of the risk that must be aware of, as well as the importance of understanding in gambling. by the way, the shop owner should not have allowed a teenager in a school uniform to enter his shop. Moreover, if there are regulations and licenses that do not allow someone in a school uniform to carry out activities in a gambling shop. if so, it is already violating the rules stated in their license.

If this story is true, the shop's license should be revoked and the biggest sanction would be having to deal with legal issues. The point is, very clearly, the shop has violated the rules stated in the license they own. Well, we definitely agree, especially if what you say in this post is true. The shop has committed a violation. However, I'm not actually sure whether what is said in this thread is a real incident. Also, each country, region, usually has regulations regarding gambling laws. especially, in countries where gambling is legal. Cases like this must be studied properly and it is important to know what is permitted and what is not permitted.
