Topic: Minimum Age to gamble - page 12. (Read 3733 times)
True. On the territory of post-Soviet countries, grandmas and grandpas used to teach kids to play card games at early age, just to kill time. Many kids at the age of 10 are familiar with the rules of blackjack or the game called durak. While majority play just for fun or loser performs winners wish, minority play on pocket money, gums and other kids "treasures". And I am not talking about various chupa caps kids used to play with. They were sort of a kids money (at my childhood at least). They can be equalled to using casino chips to place bets. This means we have started gambling much earlier than being 18+.
The age standard for gamblers in each country is different, but I believe there are many children in my country who have deceived the casino platform by claiming they are 18 and over when they are still 15-17 years. I came across several children who gambled, but I wasn't sure how they could gamble just by relying on the money their parents gave them.
In our country children with age of 18 are involved of studying and those individuals move towards gambling who are not under the control of their parents because in our society gambling is not consider as a good habit even if it gives you large sum of money.
They cannot rely on the money given to them by their parents therefore they continuously bet in order to multiply this sum but unfortunately instead of increasing it become necessary to take loan for the fulfilment of such addiction.
I get the impression you don't know what you're talking about. In many countries young people start gambling long before they come of age, for example, playing card games or dice for lunch in the school canteen or with pocket money given to them by their parents. It is almost impossible to control such games, as they are played away from the eyes of adults.

Getting into gambling is like risking your future, and it's far from a bright future. Oh yes, in my opinion gambling is not for those who have dropped out of school but for those who are a little different, so I mean anyone can get into gambling depending on their own social environment or only for people who are easily tempted.

Your best option would be to call or notify the authorities at the betting company and when that isn’t enough, you can notify regulators.
Still, the idea of underage gambling is mainly to comply with authorities and to ensure no one is been down played because of how little they know of a field. Also, to ensure the individual is capable of making good decision, have some financial strength and could be answerable to their actions.
We might have a few who get away with underage gambling but it’s always at a risk of losing their funds and account as well.
Yes of course every parent will also not be able to fully control what their children do, for those who are still young maybe everything can be controlled by parents, but when they grow up of course parental supervision will definitely not be fully possible because as you said above, there are some things that cannot be done by parents at certain times, basically they have a limit for something that cannot be reached by parents. Honestly, I think this is a big challenge for parents, where they have to be able to control all their kids' activities there. I mean, doing something to keep their kids away from bad environmental factors, like gambling. Yes, kids these days seem to be trained in operating these devices, I must admit they are smart to find something that we never even knew before, it doesn't take long for them to master the device.
Now the children are more wise then we are at the age of 14,the reason behind this was they most exposed to the social media in many ways as compared to us.So they come to know both and bad things at their younger ages.Since they come to know before 18,they will practise at the adult age.No one including their parent can’t control their activities above 18 years.So the parents should take responsibilities to their children,make sure their children grown in the right way.So he won’t committed to any crime or illegal activities at their teenage period.The children are back bone of the society,We should care them at the childhood very carefully.
Someone who grows in a wealthy family might begin to handle phone at the age of 10 before they could get to 12, they have started creating passwords to different sites by themselves without the supervision of parents. This kind of person would likely not say their real age in order to involved in online gambling and other things. That is the stage the world has gone to, so it is the duty of the parents to guide the child before the law and government will come in.
I came across an article How Old Do You Have to Be to Gamble in USA?. In this article, i saw that the minimum age to gamble is between 18 to 21 years. I wonder if the online casino do follow this minimum age for gambling.
Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone who is underage to not to gamble?
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?

I think it’s generally acceptable that kids shouldn’t be gambling. Hence I think 18 years of age is appropriate for an individual to legally gamble. A lot of countries recognize and consider an 18 year old individual to be an adult and is understood to be mature enough to know and understand any and all actions taken and if any, deal the consequences later on.
I think most gambling sites accepts just about anyone willing to spend money on its site. I’m pretty sure there are lots of underage gamblers who without undergoing KYC, gamble. Gambling sites may not require KYC until an issue pops up or the amount won is quite large then the site would want to verify such user.
I think legal action could and should be taken against casinos that are oblivious to minors gambling on their site.

Most of the gambling companies I have come across do state the age of users that are qualify to play gambling, but this is something that is not very strict that under age can stay away from it, even with the restrictions of age people who are not up to the age of gambling still go ahead of playing gambling because the age thing does not really matter that gambling companies follow up, that's why young people have opportunity of playing gambling without any restrictions.
All gambling sites have age restrictions on their websites, but underage people will still go ahead and gamble on those sites. As it is clearly stated, even if gambling sites make KYC mandatory, some underage people will still find a way to gamble, so I think it will be kind of difficult for gambling sites to stop underage people from gambling. But we can see some physical casinos that still allow underage gamblers, which is very wrong. If anybody visits the gambling site and they notice the person might be underage, they should request a means of identification to confirm the person’s identity. If the person is truly underage, then the person shouldn’t be allowed to gamble.do make out some huge deposits then this is the time that they would really be asking out for some verifications which its not really that something new anymore. This isnt limited on gambling sites but also in exchange platforms too where KYC level 2 would be asked out if ever you are making or transacting huge amounts already. Speaking about age to gamble then we would really be always sticking into those age where considered legal or someone to be mature enough which is playing around 18-21 years old depending on a certain country but it would definitely be playing up within these numbers.
Now that we are really that on a high tech era where accessibility was so easy then it would really be just that hard to completely be able to filter out those youngster for them to play.
We would really be to say that those kids could potentially be able to play without being caught or filtered out.
The age-based categories for gambling differ in different countries of the world. In my country people from teenagers to the elderly are involved in gambling. But one thing is very bad that even though the category is mentioned in online gambling, in our country school college students are more involved in local gambling.
But governments should keep the minimum age of gambling more than 18+/20 more.
In my opinion, the rules set for the age limit for gamblers are not very effective because quite a lot of school children have managed to make their own money and then gamble with that money (not using their parents' money), there are other ways which in my opinion are quite effective in preventing teenagers from playing on a gambling site, it is a psychological test before registering, a psychological test is usually used to test a person's mental, emotional & thinking (it will be very easy to find out which ones are adults and which ones are immature), but i doubt there will be gambling sites that implement what i mentioned (requiring KYC will not be effective enough to 100% banish underage gamblers)But governments should keep the minimum age of gambling more than 18+/20 more.

Because they are kids and they can find a solution to the problem very quickly. And thanks to the Internet, that has become a lot more easier for them. So definitely, it is a very hard job to keep children/games/underage people away from gambling. But you have to understand that this is going to happen most of the time when gambling is legal. In the countries where gambling is actually illegal, the kids are definitely not doing these type of things as far as I know.

That's the same in my country too, there's no government control for young people under 18 who gamble daily. I've heard of college students stealing money and using it for gambling here, or even worse stealing money from their parents to fund their gambling habit.But governments should keep the minimum age of gambling more than 18+/20 more.
There are local stores here which are like black market gambling stores and anyone can come in and gamble without having to show an ID or age proof. This should be changed soon and the government should take action because it's truly horrible to be honest.

If an underage individual manages to beat the system, the system is broken. And for physical casinos, there's no excuse. Rigorous identification processes need to be mandatory, not discretionary
Everyone talks about responsible gambling for players. How about responsible operations for casinos? They need to step up their game and play their part, both ethically and legally

It seems that in almost all countries that have a high level of gambling activities there are bound to be underage children from teenagers to parents who are involved in these activities and even though there is an age limit they will not care about it because there are also many ways you can do to fulfill the requirements like KYC at online casinos as an example there are some minors who use their parents personal data to make verifications on online gambling sites.But governments should keep the minimum age of gambling more than 18+/20 more.
Nothing can really maintain or regulate the age limit of gamblers in each country when online gambling is used.
It is difficult to find a solution regarding the age limit for gamblers in each country.

18+ age is considered an adult in most countries. This age is also considered as a minimum age for gambling but no one is willing to abide by this rule. We have many rules but no one agrees to follow them. So he who learns to understand gambling, goes to gambling. Gambling has now started acting like human blood. No one can avoid the addiction of gambling just as people cannot survive without blood. so now it is not possible to say what is the minimum age for gamblingBut governments should keep the minimum age of gambling more than 18+/20 more.
But for gambling it seems that the age rule cannot really be obeyed and no one has actually implemented the 18+ age limit rules except in traditional casinos.

I kinda agree on this one, but I think most countries allow 18+ years old above to gamble which I think it's not yet appropriate for someone to gamble at that age, because mainly most of these teenagers like 90% of them are financially incapable of sustaining a gambling habit. Here in my country they allow gambling, alcohol, and cigarettes at the age of 18, but I don't agree to it. IMO, the perfect age for someone to engage in these kinds of vices is 21+. At least at that age, young professionals already have an idea how to value the money they have earned.

that's right, most parents these days are too busy with their various jobs that they forget that educating their children is important. many children today feel that their friends are much like home to them compared to their parents, because their friends understand and listen to them better than their own parents, and this is the mistake of many parents because they let their children too much and don't attention and provide proper education to them.Jump to:
