Because nowadays the younger ones take gambling more seriously then school. Yesterday i got back home early so I decided to step out and go to a betting shop to catch some fun while gambling, I saw two teenagers gambling with their school uniforms on them.

I asked someone besides me why did they allow this boy's to come in with their uniforms and gamble, he said did they put any restrictions that younger ones are not allowed to gamble. I said but it's not normal, I replied him what if this are your kids would you be happy seeing them gambling with their uniforms on them. So what do you guys think about this situation at hand now.

Having a restrictions when it comes to gambling is also depends on which country you came from because there are countries that gambling are not allowed not unless you are age 21 and above and we need to accept that but you have a point, minors should not allowed to gamble because it will leads them in more serious problem in the future, we shouldn't normalize or tolerate them in doing it because there's a possibility that they will develop addiction by doing it at very young age.

What country are you talking about OP? I'm curious, because as others said the general rule in most countries is that you have to be 18+.

That's reasonable because if I'm not wrong the prefrontal cortex, meant to control impulses, isn't fully developed until that age or even later, so they aren't supposed to be capable of gambling with responsibility.

It depends on the country and their legal framework concerning gambling and how the law enforcement services are in such regions as regards to under age gambling.

In general the permite age for individuals to gamble is 18+ i don't know if there are any countries that permits individuals who fall below that age to do so. Though most online gambling platforms where KYC is not required had made it very easy for kids ranging from 15-17 years to gamble online without being noticed that's the more reasons i feel the KYC policy is important to tackle situations like this.

Well if those kids are above 18 years then they've got every right to do so but then what if they were skipping classes to gamble, that's one thing i would've been very curious about if i were the manager of that particular betting shop, also i think they're gradually becoming addicts cause if it might be that they're done with school for the day but then instead of going home to rest and refresh their memory they decided to visit a gambling shop instead.

back in our days when I was a young kid there are occasions that we choose to gamble than going to
school but this is super secret that no one knew where we are doing this gambling because we are scared
of others knowing our gambling as for us then this is a crime (from our parents and school teachers) but in
your post young gamblers are caring nothing to show people about their activities and with that this is really
alarming .

you don't know if they are taking gambling seriously or not because you just saw them once and not everyday , you seems to be exaggerating on that part accusing them to focusing in gambling instead of going to school.there might be reason for that.

its normal to care for others but life has more things to deal than giving a Sh*t into other problem , why not just do your bet
and go home? instead of making those boys your problem?

I think this kind of scenario is alarming to see younger individuals prioritizing gambling over their education. School should be a time for learning and personal development, not for engaging in activities like gambling, they may be neglecting their responsibilities as students.

If these were my children, I would be deeply troubled to see them gambling instead of focusing on their studies and personal growth. We must guide and support younger individuals in making responsible choices and prioritizing their well-being and prospects over immediate gratification.

Younger children should not gamble because of concerns that they will gamble excessively. But we will find it difficult to forbid them from gambling because their current relationships are difficult to control. Only guidance from their parents can help these children not to approach gambling.

After all, parental guidance really helps the development of their children. Their children will not try to approach gambling if they already know the effects of gambling on themselves and their lives. They will also try to limit their interactions with their friends, especially if their friends could have a negative effect later.

Parents must be aware of this to guide their children well. Nowadays, children's social interactions are freer than a few years ago, so parents have to be more active in supervising their children. With good and correct guidance, parents can hope that their children will not do something that could hurt their children.

Do you think the children are 18+? Usually that is the minimum limit for gambling, some start from the age of 21 years old to be able to start gambling depending on the regulations in the country.

I don't know if the gambling shop agents don't care about it or if it's a common thing when a teenager still wearing a school uniform goes to a gambling establishment, but I'm not sure if they are allowed, maybe it's a teenage acquaintance where they want to play but in the casino shop there are no strict rules.

There should be an age restriction like 18 and below are not required to gamble or even entering a gambling house. Just like in our country, 21 and below can't enter any gambling house, if they won't follow this rule, the security will have no choice but to escort them out of the house.

However, this still depends on the country where you live. Maybe your country does not have a strict regulation when it comes to gambling. They don't implement restriction for underage to gamble. This is improper, but if the government does not have any law regaeding this we can't do anything about it.

I am not sure to what extent it would be true to say gambling has become more important for the youth than going to school or have a proper job in the future, it is not something I have seen myself here in my city or at least, I have not noticed it. Perhaps, it is something which is very endemic of your society because of some societal problems, like poverty or the widespread lack of supervision from parents to whatever their children are doing.
I would also suspect there is some corruption going on between the operator of the betting place and the authorities which are supposed to prevent those teens from gambling in places like that, all for the sake of profit.
Anyways, my opinion is simple and quite straight forward, if anyone of them are not 18+, then they should not partake in gambling or betting, it is that simple.
Only Gods knows how many of those teens cold become addict to gamble and ruin their full potential future because some corruption going on within the policing system there in your place.

You should research whether in your country the government has imposed age restrictions for minors to be prohibited from getting involved in gambling. If there is a law in your country that prohibits people under 18 years of age from playing in casinos, then you could report to the government of your country that there is a casino or place that is accepting minors to play, the government of your country will go to the place you mentioned and they will carry out investigations and if they prove what you said, then they will close the place, they will charge a fine and they will criminally prosecute the owner of the place and it will be up to the court to judge the owner of the place

Now why does this place allow kids in uniforms to play? when you have a government that is unable to carry out periodic inspections in casinos and in any place in the country that has any gambling activity, then it opens up space for the owners of these places that carry out gambling activities to allow all people, including minors from playing as long as they pay money to play, in other words, the owners of these places where they play, start to only look at the money they will earn from minors when they lose

On all gambling sites and gambling places like land based casinos and betting agents, there is a restriction for under 18 not to gamble. But the rule is not taking seriously in some countries like Africa and Asia. If the teenagers are under 18, no gambling platform should allow them to gamble but they will not even ask the student of their ID cards to know if they are eligible to gamble it not.

The OP is just over exaggerating the whole incident, even if those children are 18 years old and 19 years old, they have the legal rights to gamble if gambling is legal in their country. There are some kids that looks so small but they are older that 18 years and should be allowed to gamble if their parents give them the right to do so.

The big question is, will all those age restriction works where there is no child protection right because the casino agent will be after the money their will make to keep the business running so, their will not pay attention to individual coming in to gamble on their casino or book a gameein their shops
This money aim have made it hard for the prevention of under 18 year individuals from gambling unless in countries where the law is strong enough to monitor and control the activities of casinos owners and agent's to checkmate the underage involvement.

Parental guidance is needed for those kids and to the owner of the betting shops, they should have age restriction before allowing someone to enter inside their premises.

As it is your concern, why not report it to the police so that they're going to be strict for allowing these students entering their betting shop?

It depends on the society where it belongs and also it matters on how the parents guide thier young children. Some of us here know that gambling is not good in our young ones cause once they involve in gambling in very young ages then there's a chance that they will be got addicted and we all know what are the possible outcomes once a person got addicted. So for me children in young ages is not good to involve in gambling but I'd the society is full of gamblers then we can not assure that our children got exempted on that.

18 years old. That is the minimum age that I have seen most gambling platforms put as a restriction and as far as I know, it's illegal to gamble or even drink when the minimum age limit is not reached. The sports betting shop owners are just oblivious of it or they're simply greedy without minding the damage that those kids are being exposed to at this early age. With proper education about gambling, I personally think it is harmful to be exposing them to gambling right now.

Kids that age should be focused on getting the basic education they need not gambling. It's a sad reality, really.

I don't know if this can happen in other provinces of my country, but particularly in the city where I live, this cannot happen. If a cashier or the manager of a casino sees underage kids at the casino, he will command them to live immediately, and if they disobey, they will be forcefully dismissed. The reason why this is done is because if anyone reports that incident to the police, they have implicated the casino.

Although some may also allow, rarely will you see such, apart from one time witness. The world is
modernized, and lots of teenagers now use their cell phones, so they dont need to visit the traditional casino.

But, @OP, you only mentioned teenagers but did not specifically mention the age range of those kids, and by right, a 20-year-old kid is still classified as a teen, while gambling is allowed for 18-year-olds and older.

Without having to go through your story we can already tell what the answer is going to be; which is “no” it is not okay for underage people to participate in gambling.

Personally, if I had a younger sibling who was interested in gambling it would be my outmost priority to try to convince or get him to see why it should even cross his mind to try it - and the same goes for the rest that are not up to the age but have heard how people were able to make millions of gambling with just a penny (that’s the reason majority of them want to gamble, so they can become rich).

Well that experience you had or saw wouldn't be the same in everywhere and I believe why this is occuring more frequently is maybe due to the poor regulations on gambling in the particular area you are staying and I believe this is also similar with the way teens are going about with their gambling habits in my country. Gambling is some countries are strictly prohibited and regulated so that a specific age limit is observe although I understand that these regulations can't all be the same when we relate it to online gambling.

If you are sure people you saw are teenagers, you have every right to walk them out. Question the shop manager or agent, whichever one it appears to be, because I believe in almost every country.

Irrespective of which one you saw those kids gambling age should range from 18 years and above, so what those school kids are doing is illegal, and if you are a troublesome person, you can also report both the shop rep to the authorities, where they can be prosecuted for such.
