Topic: Is there any gambling site that allow or sponsor junior MMA bets? (Read 944 times)

Lets get back to origin of this topic - I think there will be no casinos that will add junior MMA to their sports betting session. The reason for that I think is pretty simple, it is really hard to make a prediction, or to even build a logic how to form odds. Junior MMA isnt as popular as other adult martial arts competitions and fights. How can bookmaker decide who is favorite and who is underdog, when those kids have 0 or only pair of fight experience. For casinos, it will be same random outcome as for gamblers. Such betting will be to risky for business.

For the children's MMA fighting, the rules are strict and they ensure there are factors of safety to avoid what some mature people suffer in the ring. The handlers are professionals and they know the fragility of children, that is why it is more of a sport than a real fight, so the chance of severe injuries or death is always very low, except if the child has some health issues that were not known or nature just happened negatively.

As for the parents, yes, they know what they signed for. But what I love the government to ensure is that the children willfully and honourably accept such a profession and not the parents forcing it on them for money. Some parents can be cruel, that is what I will never support even if the sport is painless.

What do you suggest then? Close all martial arts gyms and let people +18 only to enter them? You see this situation with an influence of seeing professional get injured during fights. But I doubt that kids get many real injuries during such fights. Just a logical chain. Before fight, kids need to train. I think we all agree to that. I think we will also agree that to participate in such fight, a kid needs to have more than 1 training session. I see it following - before having a fight, kids spend months training martial arts. Usually they have training 2-3 times a week. You can prepare for a fight without sparing. What I am trying to say, that kids have more chances to get injured during training (because they have more training sessions) than during a fight. In addition, during fight there is a referee that look after kids. During sparing, there are multiple pair of kids who spar and only one or two trainers to look after them.

Nevertheless, there is nothing extra good from such junior mma fights, but kids (boys) need to learn how to protect themselves and be ready to use such knowledge if really needed. Otherwise ban all sports for kids, because injury can be received at any sports and anytime.

MMA is a violent sport where the athletes engage in brutal combats that can lead to injuries and potential health risks, finding out that there's a junior MMA breaks my heart because those kids are way too young to be involved in all of that. This just tells you the monstrousity of some people, they can comfortable sit down and watch kids beat each other up just so they can be entertained and make money from it. I don't think this is legal therefore no gambling site would think of sponsoring it in order for their reputation not to be tarnished.

Why do you say that MMA is different if it is a combination or martial art styles. You can train only boxing and fight in MMA, you can train aikido and still fight in MMA. What is the difference? I will repeat once again, such real mma fight is like an exam for what they have learned and trained for. And as far as I know, everyone trains equally. The difference is, there are kids that want to go further and have a real fight, when others only want to train. From the other side, what is the point of training, when you are not even close to using your skills? When the have such amateur fights, it means they want to connect their lives with fighting seriously. If a kid does not want a future of a fighter, trainer will never send him for a real fight. And when you say about injuries, then isnt such fight is a test how you prepared to avoid those injuries?

Is there any gambling site that allow or sponsor junior MMA bets? I have no Idea but to be honest i just barely knew that there is a junior MMA I thought MMA only for big men this is new.
Second your link is dead but I just do quick google search found similar fight with the young boy.

and found this on google

The age for junior mixed martial arts (MMA) varies by organization and competition, but is generally between 8 and 21 years old:
IMMAF: The IMMAF (International Mixed Martial Arts Federation) has the following age categories for competition:
Youth C: 12–13 years old
Youth B: 14–15 years old
Youth A: 16–17 years old
Juniors: Under 21 years old
Seniors: 18 years old and above
MPR Endurance: MPR Endurance's Junior MMA program is for ages 8–13.
GR MMA: GR MMA's Jr. MMA program is for ages 7–15 - https://www.google.com/search?q=junior+mma+age&oq=junior+mma+age

If that is about train martial arts in the martial art centers, I already prepare many things for my children. Besides that, many trainers who will train children, not just my children but also the other children so that will not be a serious injury. But we talk about MMA which is different from other martial arts. If those children want to be junior MMA fighter, they must be trained harder than the others and they can receive injuries. They will face more challenges when they are in competitions and fight with other fighters so it can be hard for them to control their emotions. I will be fine if my children are in the martial arts because they will wear a body protector that can prevent them from serious injuries.

I dont watch MMA or martial arts sports a lot. But when you send your children to learn and train martial arts, you should be prepared that during learning and training, your kid will get punched, kicked, and he would do the same to a kid in front of him. You cant learn and master a skill only from theory and practice. Skill usage is necesseary. Dont compare professional MMA fighters, whos job is to win and receive injuries with amateur fights. Both, in pro and in amateur fights, there is a referee, who gives a little more time for action in pros, and immediately stops a fight when he sees injury is coming. Besides a referee, there is always a doctor in such tournaments. It is not a barbaric fight where death is the only reason to end the fight.

Regulator comes from the government who watch and monitor casino. Casino and bettor should follow the rules from the regulator if they don't want to get a problem. If casino have a bet list of junior MMA, they should see the regulations if that is acceptable or not. They can not just place a bet without checking the rules because they can get the problem later.

Do you watch MMA fight? How  rude they play? What will happen if children copy that and doing the same thing for their opponent? We know children can not have fully control over themselves especially when they become angry. They should do the same thing and will beat their opponent. That can cause serious injuries. Besides that, they are not yet 18 so it is better if Junior MMA is not show in the prime time because that can make other children do the same with their friend in their environment.

What regulations should regulator casino or bettor should follow? I dont get it. Could you please explain.

Imo, we should not pay major attention to age factor. Fact that they are underaged should not make any difference for betting. We should not focus our attention on injuries that they can get. Athletes can get injury in any sport. When people say that underaged should not participate because of injuries, think of artistic gymnastics. No one prohibits to bet on it during Olympic games. But female athletes, that participate, are always underaged (because body is more flexible at such an age). Those girl who participate are from 14 years of old (some even cheat their age to participate at early age). And 18 is considered an age of retirement already. However nobody complain about underaged, injuries, and betting.

If that is for sports, I don't mind to see kids fighting in MMA. But we know that MMA sports have less rules than taekwondo or boxing or other martial arts events. That kids should have learn control better so they will not make their opponent have serious injuries. In their ages, they can lose control easily especially if they are beaten by the opponent too often. That can makes them anger easily which and beat or kicks their opponent brutally.

Hopefully, no betting sites for junior MMA and only the match that is available on some program tv but that should be in the night where kids are already sleep. That will not make them watch the fights.

Hopefully, referees and medical team and other people involved will take care of the match and make sure there is no kids have serious injuries.

The kids itself must wear protection for their bodies to prevent the  injuries because that fights can be brutal reminding they can lose their control in the match.
But if some casinos want to give a bet for junior MMA, they must know that this fight is under 18 so they must follow regulation from regulator before they give this option for gamblers.

As long as these kind fight or tradition aren't used to gamble, it's all fine. People will see it's just a normal thing, where the kids doing that just for fun or learn something, not necessary it's all about money.

Gambling is for people who're at least 17 years old, it's not only for the gamblers, but also with the fighters or players. It's kind of exploitation if we're betting on underage sports.

A lot of people forgot, that before the fight happens, coach always ask his student if he is ready, wants to test himself in a real fight and not in sparring and so on. Nobody forces those kids to fight. For many kids, coach is like a second father or mother. If coach is adequate and is not a complete degenerate, he will either throw towel or will remove his fighter from the battle if he sees and feels like opponent is much stronger and it will be mismatch and beating.

And Kemarit has touched a nice point of discussion below. What if casino is one of the sponsors of such tournament or league. No doubt that kids wont fight for money on purpose (means they wont make as their income), but they will be very happy to receive a reward after, not just a congratulation certificate and a cup.

I'm not sure if there is one site that allow or sponsor this kind of junior MMA bets.

But to be honest, at least in my country, I have seen some fights in tiktok about as young as 10 or 12 years old and just fighting on the street. It could be some tradition on their village. And that setup is that there is a referee and others in the crowd too.

If they see that the fight is just one sided, or the fight is a mismatch, they are going to stop it regardless if the other side want more action. This is to the safety of the kids and I haven't heard of any physical or even death as a result of this kind of fights.

Honestly, I dont get why you call it a child abuse. When someone starts to train any sports, it is suggested to start from at an early age. Tournament is one of the ways to check if you are doing great in any sport. Sport is different. Some train martial arts, some do dancing, some play chess or swim. Without a help and watch of professionals, any sport can be dangerous. What is bad from those who train martial arts test what they have learned? Or you think those who train should only do shadow boxing/fighting, perform Kata? Take football for example, you want kids only to learn how to dribble, and shoot at a goal when there is no goalkeeper in? Because goalie can get hit by ball for example.

As to betting on junior MMA. Children should not be stimulated by bets. If someone find out his is an underdog by bookmakers, that will affect his performance for sure. Bookmakers should not force children to fight more and more, because there are many who wants to bet. But there is really not that much of a bad thing to bet on junior MMA. I would have skipped, because not much interested in a fighting. But it isnt different from betting on junior chess tournament honestly.

I fully and agree with your arguments against the introduction of a junior division in MMA, as it is on account of circumstances that surrounded various conflicts. Such an allocation touches the highest and most serious questions of ethical and safety when presented to young children. We should therefore take to heart the welfare of our young athletes and not expose them to danger.

Sports have great scope to provide discipline, teamwork, and confidence in children. However, at all times, it should be safe and age appropriate for the child. Forcing minors into such exploitative companies for entertainment or profit is highly disturbing and may also affect the organizers legally.

Regulators and parents need to support more effective alternatives. It involves the youth in exercise and skill development without costing their safety. Hopefully, enough response from the community can be seen that prevents the plan from going through.


I see your surprise and concern about the situation. It is disturbing to think that children could be placed in such horrific conditions. And the potential for child abuse in such situations is alarming. Whether or not the photos are real raises serious ethical and legal questions for those involved. Including those responsible for such events.

Use of children for adult entertainment Especially in a dangerous sport like MMA, it's not only inappropriate. This is morally unacceptable. The fact that there may be adults gambling on these races adds to the exploitation further. We must support stronger laws to protect young athletes. and ensure that their safety and well-being are more important than entertainment or profit.

I sincerely hope this is not a widespread truth. and officials will take steps to prevent such incidents from occurring It is important that we protect our youth and ensure they can participate in sport in a safe and ethical manner.

That's what's surprising because it's clearly child abuse, in which the owner of MMA can even be charged, unless the photo was edited and the photo of the two children who fight.
And that's really dangerous at ages like that who are not yet adults; it's even a pity if it's true that something like that is really happening at this age. But I hope that is not really true.

It's not good to see young children being used when the only ones who can watch are adults who are betting on those children just because they like to gamble, something that can no longer
be considered right and normal.

For any casino, whether online or offline, to allow their users to bet on such fights like this, or even take a step further to sponsoring it simply means the casino is supporting underaged gambling, which is a major crime in almost every part of the world, in most places that I know of, teenagers are to be above the Age of 18, to 19 to 20 years before they can participate in any thing gambling related.

So, the find an MMA match where kids under the age of 18 and allowed to fight themselves is a pure abuse if you ask me., those kids are being used by some people behind the scene to make money for themselves, and I highly doubt that they would want to take such a match to the casinos for listing and for the public to begin betting on such games.

I have seen that in the amateur fights and sadly, some of them can't recover anymore as that blow have been vital and able to hit some of their important pulse or joints.

Anyway, if the fight becomes professional and there are some referees and medical team on the side ready to assist, that will do the thing but there's still no guarantee if the hit becomes so vital.

I will never believe that there is a legal promotion, that will allow kids to fight till death or serious injury. I wont believe that there would such a cruel manager, promotion owner or referee, that wont stop a fight when one kid is about to do a serious damage to another. I think that most of the kids, when they see opponent has blood from bleeding nose or lip will point referee on that, as well as injured kid will stop fight and will think of surrender when he sees his own blood.

Now about gambling, I believe that such junior mma fights or any other martial arts tournaments are not so popular to get into betting list. Even though they are named as national, or country, or universe tournament, they arent very popular in general for audience. Bookmakers I think wont add to a list of betting a tournament, where each kid is unknown, and people would make 1 or 2 bets during whole tournament.

Never seen yet a casino offering an MMA for junior division and I guess the casino does not support this game too, why? the age of consent even tho its a junior event still there is violence happening right there under the legal age and of for sure the casino knows this thing and they don't want to risk themselves and their company to show this kind of event, its so harsh but even though it's a competitive match title still those are under age and I don't like seeing young one having a dangerous fight.

always check the reputation of a site when this is the only one offering bets on a certain series of events.
It is easy to run into scams or sites that offer limits on their use.

Another suitable solution I would suggest to OP: open a market on a pvp exchange like polymarket or "oracle" systems like oraclize.
there are others similar too. The only limit is the volume of bets or liquidity. Since these are no "major" events there is a limited interest.

Honestly, it's sad to think that in this day and age we're going to see one of the most popular fighting sports platforms: kids fighting instead of adults. It's amazing that the MMA owner was allowed to do that. Isn't what they do like abuse?

Instead of those children enjoying their age that they have, that is not what is happening because what they are doing is causing pain and hurting others physically. Or we don't know if those two fighters are facing a difficult life, so they agreed to fight in exchange for money because of the difficulty of life.

Although I don't like kids fighting, MMA for kids is meant for sports. Just like taekwondo or boxing. Yes, we know how brutal MMA fights are. But if it is considered a sport, it should be supervised better for younger age groups. The rules for training and competitions should be supervised and made well. Anyway, MMA fights are becoming more popular. And it can motivate kids to learn early to become MMA fighters.

At a young age, I just hope it is made a sport and there will be no betting markets listing MMA fights for kids.

One strong blow can change everything and that child can get serious injuries which can affect to his future. We don't know how good those children control themselves while they fight with their opponent. Even if they can control their emotion, they can become unstable to handle their anger because they are still young and can trigger by many things to make their emational.

I have seen some younger fights in the street and harm many of them and have serious injuries to some children around that fight. But even that fight in the MMA competitions, that still dangerous to them. Hopefully, the government pay attention to this and will not allow that competitions to children.

Yes, protective gear indeed.

So, there seems to be a consensus and opinions meeting in the middle about this is just fine as long as there are protective gear while they do it. And one strong blow should be the end of the match.

I don't know actually, you'll never know how dangerous are these because I've seen amateur fights that ended up badly. But then, an opinion is an opinion, all have points though.

I didn't even know that MMA had a junior division, first of all it's a deadly sport meaning that it's possible for fatal accidents to happen even if safety precautions are been taken.i don't think this is ideal based on age factors, it's an illegal business that might put the organizers of this in a whole lot of trouble. I'm pretty sure that they are no gambling site that will sponsor this because it's obviously child abuse because we are talking about underage kids here...This is going to fold up very soon, it's not right for them to use kids for their entertainment.

At some point, I was actually thinking like this but what troubles me is that, despite any strict rules that is attached, the strength and abilities of those children can not be compared to adults and if by chance, there's   any slight hit on the wrong point, it could lead to something else, saying. We know how brutal it is at times with the adult boxing and wrestling, talk more of engaging kids in a similar game.

I do not find this cool myself because I put myself in the shoes of these children, but that is not the case, once it is allowed in any country, it is not illegal, my friend. Fights like that are part of sports and these children and their parents know what they signed up for. It doesn't matter whether it is being played by an adult or a teenager or even lesser age. All that matters is for it to be officiated well to avoid severe injuries.

There could be some stricter rules that are not in the adult style, so if any casino offers it, it's nothing so far it is a sport and not a real fight or war. This will even bring more popularity and sponsorship to these kids.

This translates to more money for them.

That will also happen with that junior if they are fight in MMA. I guess they will have serious injuries in their body and maybe their bone can be harm too. Although they have a fast recovery but that still give something inside their body and their behavior will be change too because they trained to be aggressive. Maybe they can trained to be a master of martial art but not in that fight. Their emotional is not yet stable and they can lose their control when something is disturb them.

It needs attention for their parents so they can know what their children needs and not just follow what their parents wants. Children needs to grow normally like other children and without trained like that, they can also get good achievements. There are many other ways for the children to develop well.

I agree with you, although most parents will definitely forbid their children from fighting, but if the child has a passion for something like this, then parents must support them as long as they fight officially with a referee as the mediator. I think MMA for juniors is not entirely wrong, because what you said is true, self-defense is something that each of us must have, even for some people they consider this important. In my own country, there are very strict laws, but for some parents, this martial art requires their children to learn it, even when they are not old enough, it doesn't matter, because they think self-defense must be learned to protect themselves. I think that with their parents who work as soldiers, they will usually educate their children to be able to learn martial arts, or indeed for parents who work as martial arts teachers, of course their children will be educated to be able to defend themselves from an early age.

I remember when I was a kid and got involved into streetfights and you're right that there's no referee but only friends that were watching or bystanders that just passed and helping to stop the fight.

So, there are counter measures and some ways of stopping the fight. As long as someone has seen to be incurred with an injury or some blood has been flowing likely on the nose then that's the sign that the fight should be stopped.

Indeed, the main goal of conducting MMA matches for juniors is to prepare them physically and mentally to compete in a bigger MMA event.
Junior MMA like this is a place to pit good skills against each other for aspiring MMA fighters.

And about the bets that are made or some of the gambling sites that sponsor it, I don't think it's going to be legal,
and it's about the protection of minors and about Ethics and morals.

Minors should not be exploited using betting, it is an illegal act and is not allowed.
Online casinos will also not dare to sponsor it, because they know the risks.

Everyone should be in practice for bodybuilding. If any boys are above 12 years of age I don't see anything wrong with that as they are participating in competitions of their own free will and will gradually become more experienced players with more practice. Yes betting can be done through these competitions but this should be taken positively as there should be more motivation requirements for the organizers and may also influence the audience participation more. You should consider it a competition rather than a fight and every competition will have a physical or psychological battle.

I think that these competitions will improve the physical and mental abilities of the children and enable them to participate in bigger events in the future.

I was about to say that there are kids in shaolin temples that goes through hardship every day to get stronger, if people like you guys visits you will probably call it abuse, but that's training, not putting them against each other, so you guys are right about this one.

I plan to allow my kid to take karate classes, only if he wants, but that's just for protection, looking at the picture that OP dropped, those kids are going after each others throat, no form of protection is seen in sight, this is child abuse and I am surprised that the law allow such thing to take place.

It seems this world is fading away every year, the bad things are now looking normal is everyone's eye, what is going on? I will never place a bet on such sick idea called sport, this is far from been called a sport.

I don't think there are gambling sites that allow or sponsor this because it's not legal, These are underage kids that are supposed to be in school or something. It's different thing to put them in an academy where they can learn combat techniques but this is actually a sporting event that people are coming together to watch,  these isn't legal I bet it's done in an undisclosed location where the feds wouldn't be able to find easily. Watching teenagers beat up themselves isn't sports it's cynical and shouldn't be condoned.

What would be a appropriate protection at their age? Head gear? Then it wont be a fight under mma rules, as you wont be able to perform some techniques. From the picture, it looks like they are more teenagers, than little kids.



What about these kids then? No head gear also, but they have a full contact fight.

Dont even try to search for kids Muay Thai tournament pictues



Those little kids also dont wear any head protection, but from very childhood they learn how to land elbows, that opens soft skin easily and make deep cuts. When you say that there must be a special policy for kids, sports and violence, but like it was said above, how come you know you are ready and learning right, if you havent tested yourself in fight? Those fights turn children into grown ups. Or you suggest for kids to start training combat sports only when they are 18?

Children can engage in competition quite interesting and violence free but not such which would create enmity amongst them in the cause of competing for title or whatsoever. It is unfortunate that bets are being placed on such without having a second thought by the bettors.

From the picture shown here they weren't Putting on any protective which is not appropriate for them at their age to have engaged in such an exercise. Any damages directly on their body remains there forever because they are still growing and immature.

If they deem such sports valid, then there should be strong policies good enough to protect the children who take part in such exercise but I don't think such violent sports is appropriate at such age.

During training martial arts, they train not only to hit, but to protect themselves also. As they are kids, nobody would allow them to fight until some of them gets knocked out or chocked. That is why there is a referee. As soon as he notice someone gets a damage, he immediately stops the fight. On the other side, if they have chosen such a hobby, they knew they would receive damage. And how can they test their knowledge without such a test? I am 99,9% sure, that their fight ends as soon as someone gets a bleeding nose. Also, kids on the street do the same, fight each other with open hands and without any referee. Should parents then keep kids at home, because on the street they can get into a fight? Speaking about injuries, I have seen kids get serious injuries just by riding bicycles and skateboards. At martial arts, kids did not get serious injuries, because there is always an adult to look after them.

I see that we have a different opinion on this and there's also local training in your place for as young as 7 years. But these kids, if they get injured, who's to blame?

Unexpected hits might come to them. The pro MMA fighters are even having the worst injuries and some can't even fight anymore because of that.

I'm just trying to be defensive with these kids, it's okay to train and fight but there's lacking based on the source and that's protection equipment for each of them like in the amateur boxing.

Yes, you are right, kids related matters are not taken so likely. Bookies are aware of the implications of adding such games and that's why they will not add it.

Thank you.

Still, I find it hard to believe that both threads are almost at the same issue. I have kids, you know, and I always tell myself that I will do my best to make them innocent with such things. Violence, gambling, and other bad habits that could easily be absorbed in the streets.
I know there are other kids who like sports like karate and boxing but they are taught a different way and one of the special teachings is to only use it to defend themselves. Well, until they are on the right age to use for sports and other events where a referee is present.

I think your question is off. Gambling in kid's talents. Most of the time they are for entertainment purposes only and to spread the news about how to be a sport and not a gambler.

MMA may now have evolved to the point where there is instruction at a young age and is considered junior MMA.
Other martial arts are still better because they have protection and are less violent... Let's see how this MMA fighter when he loses then his face will be battered and destroyed.
I don't know how this will be sports entertainment if it has to be minors.

I understand that people really like MMA and I myself am also interested in the sport, but involving minors in this sport is not a wise thing to do, let alone betting on them, it just doesn't make sense. Because MMA is different from other sports like chess, racing, or running, which do not involve violence, but this is a sport that displays violence and usually the people involved here are over 18, which means they are not minors and are fully responsible for themselves. So involving children in MMA or even betting on it is a ridiculous thing, do people go that far just to see little kids fighting and betting on it, I think they should check their minds.

No, if you want to bet in this kind event, bet with your friends.

None, because almost all casinos are using third party gambling providers which is regulated, the only way a bookie can have this kind event is by add it by themselves. But, I'm sure the sites will be taken action ASAP because anything with kids isn't a joke.

It's because @OP is a pedophile, that's why he really interested with kids.

First of all, this shouldn't be legal due to the fact that they are just kids, there's an age rule to all of these. This is something that's done illegally therefore no gambling site is going put This on the list of their games or even sponsor it. MMA isn't a weird sport but this category is actually awkward. These are kids that should be focused on their education and not beating their self up for other people's entertainment. I think if the government knows about this it's going to be shut down completely because it's considered to be illegal.

Yes, I feels that because people will use many ways to make money and will not thinks about if that can give damage or harm other people lives. They only think about how fast they can make the money so they even will use children to help them to make money. It is an exploitation for children and make them fight each others while the event organizer and other make the money. Although that children make money too but that is not worth with their healthy. Parents should be aware of this because those people can use many ways to lured parents so they will allow their children participate on that events. The government must also aware of any events that will run and always make sure that will not have a bad impact to people or children.

I am surprised that this is happening. It’s like getting younger with anything. Some bands or groups are underaged performing and, now, fighting themes. This is getting out of hand, IMO. Are there no other ways to get entertained? Or is this just the direction?

The difference between martial arts and this one is protection. I see kids doing martial arts, and they have protection. I just don't know how to process this.

Stop. You want to blame parents because the have send their kids into such kind of sport? The whole idea of the sport these kids are in is fighting. I see nothing wrong if kids train martial arts, nothing wrong if they compete. After all, there is a referee in the cage that will save them from serious danger. Bleeding nose, black eyes, that is ok if your kid trains martial arts. If you have opposite opinion, then at what age should they start training? In my town, martial arts welcome kids starting from 7 years. They dont fight each other at such age, but at 10+ they already participate in competitions. And did you know, that in many martial arts, you cant get a black belt, if you dont participate in tournaments and win them.

But what I dont support is betting on junior martial arts competitions. Whenever someone looses a bet, he will always blame a fighter he has bet on. That is wrong, as they are young, inexperienced amateurs.

I have not found any sites that allow betting on this but it might be because it is not popular enough. In boxing, there are some countries and some US states where you can fight professionally before you turn 18. There was an underage boxer on one of Jake Paul’s undercards earlier this year and I’m sure there was some sportsbooks that were accepting bets on this fight. There is also some betting available for U-17 FIFA championships. I don’t think there are rules that explicitly don’t allow this kind of betting, but it will depend on the popularity of the event. Most sites probably don’t want negative publicity so they will not allow betting on junior MMA for that reason.

I've seen kids training while they're young but not into this kind of sport. Whoever gave a permission for this are to be blamed and the first people that I can think of are these kids' parents'.

Sportsbook shouldn't tolerate this and shouldn't put it into their books neither give any of these kids a sponsor to discourage that there's no sense doing this whether for passion or for money.

Do you think the kids knows they are using them for gambling or stake them? Because to me they wouldn't do that and can affect the mental state of those kids, also it would increase their interest on gambling and wouldn't feel focused of their lives. To me I think they don't know and many of these sports that involves children I think they don't know if people are betting on them, the thing is they are just happy seeing people coming to watch them live without knowing their real intention to come watch do whatever they are doing.

there is a difference between letting your kid watch and participating in the sport. I don't have an issue if we are betting on adults in MMA  but if it includes minors, it doesn't really sit right with me. also, if you ask me MMA is too brutal for kids to be participating in. Anyway, regarding boxing and wrestling, there are enough safety regulations in place to make sure that the sports are safe for the kids to join but as for MMA Jr. I am not sure if they have enough that kind of regulations in place to make sure that the sport is safe for the kids to participate in.

Just few days ago, I read a post here where the OP was recommending gambling for children and now, I am seeing a fight involving children. The rate at which children are being exposed to certain lifestyles which are above their mental capacities this days is becoming alarming. If not checked now, we will be having adults in the future battling with either addiction or another problem caused by the things they were exposed to as children 

Junior MMA should be prohibited and casinos should be restricted from having such bet options. I am not in support of anything called junior MMA. Children should be allowed to be children.  When they grow older, they can decide if they want to be gamblers, fighters and even more.

First time seeing kids display different dangerous moves just imagine what might happen if anyone die during the process?, MMA sport can be tough with mixed emotions and battle so I don’t think anyone should support this act including the parents. I don’t know any gambling site accepting this game except I didn’t pay more attention searching for games but definitely I will not support this rather going against such game is good. Let’s be realistic MMA sport always advice kids never to try those skills at home, school or anywhere so why practice such art with kids.

The world is crazy you know. When you think you've seen it all and then you just find out that people tend to do things that are crazier than what you've seen before. Children should not be allowed to participate in anything gambling at a very tender age unless they are up to the age to make that decision for themselves. As long as they are still below the age of accountability then their parent has every right to make good decisions for them. There is nothing like passion in that kind of sport. Children are meant to do sports that are fun, playful and educative. Not one that is destructive and can give them injuries.

Don't be surprised thah the world is turning into something else and we could see one more immorality very soon now that we are closer to the doom day. The clock is ticking and we are getting closer to the tribulation days when some many unbelievable things will be happening so you don't have to be surprised about all these signs we are seeing, the government allowing underage children to be beating themselves in the name of game. If the government knows about something like this and it's called a competition, then the kind of beating between these adolescent should be moderated and maybe they should be given face guide  to protect them.

In my country, there's no betting company that allows or sponsor Junior MMA but on this forum, we have so many gambling platforms, I don't know if there's any of them that sponsors or allows this junior MMA. I honestly do not think it's a good idea to allow betting on underage kids fighting each other.

Parents see the value of money, even if it is the child's will to fight in junior MMA, the role of parents is still important to allow it or not, but I can't imagine that, when the child fights in the ring with a battered body while the parents outside the ring shout “let's return the punch” this will be a sad irony.

And one more online gambling site will not allow to sponsor junior MMA this will be a lot of criticism.

I think it might actually be unreasonable. I doubt if any casino site will allow adults to view junior or younger so called MMA bets. Moreover, there is no permission to play boxing in my country, but this is being done secretly. Moreover, children should be educated and at this age should be kept away from casinos, gambling, boxing. Besides, children are adapted to many sports activities. Because through this they overcome physical weakness and keep thinking of doing good things in future.

I tell you and I wonder how people think this days  taking up such undeniable acts and decisions, sometimes I wonder what the World is turning into and there are sure to be supporters on such games which is quite unusual.
And I think any sites that would allow rules on junior MMA fight should be banned for good cause it's otherwise creating an avenue for the younger ones to see the need to gamble and find themselves in such situations as well which is bad and not good for the society, you can imagine the high level of risk they are involving those Young kids into, I think the supporters of this fights should be held responsible cause it's illegal and bad to the society.

You are right, neither do i support Children beating themselves up all in the name of sport. Sometimes I wounder the kind of pleasure people derive from watching such a dreaded fight and call it a game. I wounder the amount of money that will trigger parent to allow there children being beating in the ring. For me I haven't seen kid fight as a game. this is my first time of hearing or coming across such a sport. If It where within my powers I would advise they ban it because such a fight can cause an emotional, psychological, and mental torture including body deformation which can Leed to early death since children don't have that endurance mind to withstand hard situations. The truth is that I don't like it.

If i am not mistaken some of countries has the tournament for martial art but mostly not pure MMA matches which mean it is the tournament for some particular matrial art just like boxing or kickboxing and usually some of federation from the particular countries has special event for under age and it is official because the real purposes of the tournament is to create good athletes in the future and regarding MMA junior fight i have watching this matches several times but as far i know it is for exibition match and i don't think those matches will be available to bets on betting sites besides that in my opinion MMA is hard sport and i think the parent shouldn't be introduce this sport to their children early this because children mentally usually is still unstable so if they know this sport i fear they will abuse this for violence

I hope there are no gambling sites allow betting on junior MMA fights in any region because that can give a bad impact to children. They are still children, under 18 and MMA fights is something that a pro do. Even if that children already gets teaching from his masters, he still child that can lose his chance to grow up because they are getting injured in that match. That can impact to their mental and behavior while they grow up and there will be a passion to do something that may harm other people because they feels they are stronger than others. They have skills to paralyze people and maybe that can make them become arrogant and can not appreciate others while they can also harm others.

This kids is fighting probably because they are aspiring pro MMA fighter when they grew up. I personally studied martial arts as self defense and we always compete to other kids since this is sports however MMA is kinda brutal for a young age to play this game that’s why it’s a sensitive topic especially if there’s a bet involved.

If the discussion is just pure sports without any entertainment involved I think this is just normal since there’s a lot of physical sports available at school but not to the extent of MMA which is a pure brawl.

Shouldn't parents have permission to involve children in such fights? It's hard to imagine any normal parent willing to watch their child get beaten, no matter how much it costs. Not everything should be valued in money. If society slides to the point where it will be allowed to bet on your children, it's scary to imagine what kind of generation we will see in old age.

You have seen nothing...

MMA is getting a crazy twist, if I'm not wrong this is happening in Russia, where there are some crazy modes of fights, i have seen 2 small guys vs a pro, or even 2 girls vs a fat guy. And as you can imagine, this is not for all, some people don't like to see kids fighting, or fat guys hitting two women, and i think that's the reason behind this stay in Russia and Danna White hasn't implemented it yet in the UFC.

It will be hard for casinos to add bets in this variety of MMA because they don't know anything about the fighters, and since they fight in an unofficial Ligue then the match can be rigged.

Even if there is a gambling site that sponsors junior MMA as their main topic, I think they will get various criticisms from other parties, they should prohibit anyone under the age of -18 from being involved in gambling, What's more, as a major milestone in sponsoring it, I don't think it's a good idea for the gambling site that got the offer.

Never mind sponsoring junior MMA fights, television also rarely shows junior MMA during matches, except on YouTube or other social media such as TikTok, but for official events you rarely see junior MMA, including in my area, junior MMA is rarely published, for well-known gambling sites I have not found those who sponsor junior MMA.

Okay I was thinking junior as in "beginner" but hell this is junior "junior" kid type of players. Highly doubt it's going to be allowed. I tried looking up for laws regarding it, I found one with VGCC, here's the link if anyone is curious.  I reckon other casinos have similar laws or something that tackles creating bets that are for players under 18, so yeah, I'd advise giving up looking for one. Unless you try to do your own peer betting but I reckon if found out you'd probably get some pretty heavy punishment.

Children train and compete in different types of martial arts, wrestling and taekwondo, but there is no cruelty and everything is aimed at their technique and strength, and in the case of MMA, this is cruelty, which in my opinion is unacceptable for children. They are not protected by special helmets and can get very seriously injured, in any case, I consider this unacceptable, not only betting on such events but also the competitions of this kind.

I will repeat here one of the comment I read on the Instagram page that resonates with me a lot and that is, Professional Combat Sports is not for kids.. It is very dangerous and can cause both physical and mental trauma. They do not even have a protective gear on. People who set these kids up in the ring for profit are very terrible, people who buy the tickets to watch the kids beat themselves up are equally terrible people and last but not least people who bet on this kids are evil. I do not support this in any way.

Children will prepare and play for their tournaments which is normal and can positively affect their mental development and they can bring honor to the country in future. Yes, I don't see anything wrong with betting on this tournament. Gamblers who bet will want favorite players to win and players are more motivated and many people are encouraging them. However, many reputable gambling companies can sponsor such tournaments which help children to become more motivated and become more physically and mentally aware at an early age.

On the question of ethics I would say if this tournament is for children above 12 years then I will definitely support it and participate in the betting. Cheers must come from the crowd to enliven every tournament.

Kids that are being groomed for combatant sports can have tournaments, that is understandable, so far they have professionals that monitors them. But I don't think that it's morally right for adults to bet on kids that fights, it shouldn't be encouraged. I doubt that any reputable gambling company will accept that because they're not grownups. For none combatant sports like tennis can be allowed for bets because the kids are not hitting each other in a fight. Although I've never explored gambling in sports where kids are involved and I don't think that I will.

I guess casino doesn't allow betting on junior MMA fight but I am not sure about that. That will related to regulation in the country and how gambling status in that country. If gambling is prohibit, no betting for that sport so people can not place their bet. Teenager have a long way to grow up and they should not join in that tournament before turning 18 year. Their bone still grow in their age so when they injured because of that fight, maybe their bone can not grow. If that competition is about boxing, karate, judo, maybe that can be accepting because there is strict rules to control them so they will not make their opponent in danger.

I think it is inappropriate placing bets on such teenage fighting events because any of those kids learning that people are betting on them to win could whisper those kids to be grieved and fighting each other without concerns of the harms and damages it may cause them.

They could even lost the aid of tactical fighting and such a fight that is supposed to be friendly fights in a training background could turn to some kind of enemity of holding grudges for each other hence they are still kids to control their mindsets to the highest levels.

That is my concern too. Even if maybe these kids were picked from the street and were made to fight to get some cents from it, why would adults bet on this? Is it to get weird pleasure or finance? It is still all shades of wrong because, just like you said, their systems and everything are still developing. Which means if any form of injury comes to them, it might be permanent, it might deform their shape. Like, this is really dangerous, more than we think it is.

And yes, I don't think any channel would just project these kids for people to watch. They can get injured, they could bleed out from punches. They are not even professional boxers that one could bet on. And even if these children have an interest in boxing in the future, I think there should be an age requirement  before they are allowed to get into the ring for training. They shouldn't even be training as minors because it could get really dangerous.

They are still growing, their hormones are very active, and they are in their puberty stage. They could become violent when they mix with their peers and beat someone, even in the worst-case scenario. Like, this is not nice at all. I don't know of any site that supports junior betting, and I don't think I want to know of any site that supports junior betting because it's just inhumane.

First of all I would like to comment on sports in general, before someone tries to tell that kids fighting should not be allowed. When a kid goes to karate, taekwondo or any other sports that contains fighting against opponent, they from very young age learn how to punch and kick, they got explained that best area for a strike is head and etc. I think from age 10, they already do sparing, they visit competitions and so on. It is normal to see kids at that age (kids on the picture) to have a full contact fight. But I would be strongly against involving such competitions for gambling. Because one thing is when you train and compete to get self confidence, to stay healthy, to improve, and the other thing is when you are cheered and forced to perform more and better because money are on stake.

If you think this is not legal then I will also like to draw your attention on some local game or fight which I have witnessed months ago within our community, where the intra community wrestling on a playground just like a wrestling ground. At my presence I saw two known politicians place bets on the wrestlers, one from the neighboring community while the other from that very community the match was fixed, so as the wrestling was on I noticed that the one who bet on other community is beginning to win while the one who bets on their community wrestler is losing. When the match was concluded the one who's from the neighboring community wins and immediately a fund transfer was made and they laughed over it. That was how it just ended without the wrestler knowing what was happening and I know if they knew people bets on them they could hard rigged the fight in favor of the most influential politician.

When I read the title, I thought they meant juniors because they are not as experienced but I did not expect them to be literal kids. This is very concerning as kids might not yet fully grasp the danger of what they are doing no matter how much training they do. Kids are also still growing and developing which means that an injury might be permanently detrimental to the kid’s health.
None that I know of because it is illegal in many countries and for a reason. If there are people betting on this, it must be done illegally.

personally, I don't see anything big that's concerning about betting on this kind of sports or including it in your casino's list of available bets when you allow children to watch wrestling and boxing at will and most of them have thier favourable athletes in those sports.  Is it because it's jnr MMA? In other sports, children athletes fully participate in those sports and the only reason bookmakers don't include them is because of it unpopularity.

Check out those kids and you will see a grown up adult cheering and even sponsoring them in the fight. These kind of sports has become a norm in our society and people are now more concerned about the business potentials In these sports than any other thing regarding what's right or which is not right in an ideal sense. I'm not sure I know of a casino that will include this on a platform but I wouldn't be surprised to see one.

I have seen before that there are many championships for children or junior fighters aged 10 to 17 years and of course this is in MMA, Boxing or Muay Thai and all of this is very good because it can develop children who like this sport to be able to train their abilities and improve their mentality for the future when they are adults they can become professional fighter.
I think every country supports this because they create the potential for new fighters in the junior class to be able to be source of pride for their country in the future, I don't think there are any rules about fighting children under the age of 17 as long as all of it is official and fully supported by the government.
It just that I don't really know whether there are gambling sites that sponsor various championships or fighting competitions for children or teenagers because they are still in the development stage and like training tests so this is not very profitable for some gambling companies to sponsor it.

Just to be clear, I took the liberty of copying the link to the site where I saw this junior MMA fight holding and it was just as similar to the senior bout tournament that one of my favorites, Israel Adesanya would normally participate in.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAdVghMOGus/?igsh=MWp4OTkyYjh3OWkzeg==

I also think there are more children who engage in more combat sports like boxing, karate, judo and some others that do so at a young age and they become professional before turning 18.
The world is an open community we all belong to and what is good for one man, can be poison to another.

I hope you find a visit to the link insightful.

Kids again. What's with you and about kids combined with gambling?

This is your last thread before this.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gambling-centresonline-gambling-sites-for-underaged-children-5511426

Well, just to answer the topic. I don't think sports bookies will add those kinds of sports. It's gambling so it must be 18+ and even the participants must also be in that age.
If they do add it, they might jeopardize their business and that means millions of dollars of profits gone with the risk they took so I guess no reputable gambling site would do such a thing to avoid those things to happen.
I love MMA but I have not watched kids doing it and I hope I won't ever bump into them because I have kids too and that kind of thing should not happen at their early life.

I believe that such online casinos do not exist. And it is not only a matter of ethics and morality (although this is, of course, also a very important point).
Children and their safety are always a very sore subject for people. When something bad happens to children, people always pay attention to it.
If some online casino started accepting bets on such competitions, a huge scandal would break out. All the media would write about it.
As a result, the casino would suffer great reputational and financial losses, and, most likely, the public would achieve a ban on such a casino.

This is absurd and immature. How could this be allowed on x. I doubt if any gambling casino would in their right senses and state of mind allow this on their live games for adult to watch junior or underage so called MMA bets. What is the boxing sports turning into?
I do not think this fight is allowed in my country and nobody would allow such to happen under their watch when it involves underage children. Children are meant to be educated and not to fight at that age, maybe the government can possibly make some game competition for the children if they want it and not to recommend such type of sport activity.

I don't know if there are gambling sites that allow bets or sponsor junior MMA but I'll assume there isn't any reputable casino that would allow bets or sponsor Junior MMA because it could be a bad image for them, it could also be that betting on minors that are competing in sports is part of the regulation on whichever country they are at.

I will not expect any popular gambling website to allow betting on such sports. Full contact junior MMA is illegal in many countries, so betting on it also is illegal.

This did not just start, there are lots of illegal sports which unfortunately involve underage children some of the time. The worst of them will likely not make it to regular social medias, neither will the betting option for such games be publicly available.

People now supporting and betting on underaged kids beating up themselves? People are getting sicker

I saw a clip on social media, Instagram to be specific and it was a MMA bout between two children not up to 17 of age and am sure because I have a screenshot to let you have an idea of the gist.



I could finally get the link, so here it is for your own perusal:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAdVghMOGus/?igsh=MWp4OTkyYjh3OWkzeg==

Couldn't help but wonder that with the set up, the kit and display of fighting skills by these fighter as well as the organization of the organizers, that the fight may have some background bettors betting on their favourite kid to win without a care for the law of the state against junior matches and betting on these children as well.

*Are there any  known gambling sites that allow or are there clearly laid out rules against betting on junior MMA fights in your region or in any region you know of?

*Is there any gambling site that allow or sponsor junior MMA bets?

Here's a link to some information I found  revolving around this issue:
