Gambling need of people with more knowledge and self confidence.Because this two people will survive in the gambling as compared to other less experienced people.Some gamblers says the gambling is also like the trading,it need of some tactics to win in a row.But in gambling they say the tactics as the probability and in trading it's prediction of market.Since the salary from the job is guaranteed one,the gambler can use the salary for the source for their gambling with certain percentage.
But we know that there are not always winning streaks, and there are only losing streaks that lead one to the frustration of experiencing them. Perhaps it's true what people say about gambling, like trading, but when we lose, we really lose. My point is that we will have a hard time recovering the money we have lost in gambling and if we keep trying to recover it, we can lose a lot more. And when they use the salary from their job to make money, they may be disappointed because they can lose their money quickly.

Yes, I understand perfectly what you mean. This feeling ... and it is not clear whether it is common to everyone (everyone thinks that they are smarter than others) or advertising unobtrusively inspires us with these ideas about easy wealth, but I remember that I also dreamed for a while. But practice quickly destroys this myth, and by the way, you are very lucky that your lesson cost only $ 100, many people lost a lot of money before they realized that all these "forex brokers" are unscrupulous casinos.

I think it's easy for any young man to believe himself that he knows everything about life when he earned his first money in trading or gambling. And here you don't even need advertising, human nature and maximalism do everything themselves. After all, at that age, young people do not know anything about other types of earnings, they all seem incomprehensible and complicated (5 years at university, then to get a low-paid job). And then suddenly there is such a way, and all the skills are already there. How can you not think that you are the smartest?

As I understand it, we are from the same country  Wink In our conditions, this self-confidence algorithm works with tenfold strength. Any normal person, when looking at the ridiculous salaries of people who have studied for many years and then at any other activity (even such as gambling), will make an obvious conclusion that it is not profitable to work  Grin It is better to try to earn a lot with strange methods than to receive a guaranteed measly salary.

Yeah Smiley
Moreover, youthful maximalism is superimposed on all these thoughts. We at our age have already forgotten what it is. We are mired in conditionality, and when you are young, it seems that this world will be at your feet. Also, the subjects of our selection is most often the guys whose mental abilities are above the norm. They are even more prone to consider themselves the smartest, considering those who work for pennies in offices to be stupid weaklings. But in fact, these guys have no experience, they do not see the full picture of the world, and I thats why they fall into the trap of betting and playing gambling games.

This is very simple, if you're underaged, wait for your time to come before you started gambling, if you're gambling without having the idea on how to responsibly gamble, many things might be at stakes and you couldn't help the situation than to keep on loosing the ore you gamble, whereby you could have make use of that same gambling opportunities to invest on other quality things to aid your development in all aspects of live.
There is a minimum age limit for gambling where below that limit must not be involved in gambling. Gambling has certain risks that require a minimum age to accept the risk. Younger gamblers who become addicted to gambling may not be able to withstand the stress later on and may experience major mental and physical changes at a young age. However, school and college students must never be willingly involved in gambling and casino games if they are under 18 years of age, as there is a possibility of harming them both academically and psychologically.

There are a lot of such traps in life and they are probably necessary for people to gain experience and no longer do it (those who are able to draw the right conclusions). For example, in my country (or, let's say, the information space of my country), along with gambling advertising, there are a lot of advertisements both outright scams (such as "forex trading" although there is no any forex there) and around scams like trading courses, scalping, etc. . All of them promise mountains of gold and involve people in their networks, and it is natural that some young people believe in this.

And I was the same 15 years ago, I firmly believed in Forex, and the fact that this thing can help me get rich. You remember this feeling - you consider everyone who works hard from morning to night fools, and you consider yourself a connoisseur of secret knowledge. Those who were able to withdraw $ 50 from forex yesterday, and are already planning which car they will take tomorrow. Do you know how, as a student, I realized that Forex is a fraud? I have accumulated bonus money in the amount of $ 100 and placed an order for maximum leverage in one of the parties. And when my account doubled, it was suddenly blocked. After that, I realized that the money I give to the Forex office turns out not to even go beyond it, to the world market. That's how the dreams of youngsters are erased into dust.

I watched a lot of interviews with people who were interested in sports betting. And I realized that addiction is as strong as possible when the player is young. And the younger he is, the worse his affairs can be with addiction.
This is easily explained by the fact that at school or student age, young people have no money at all. And betting for them is a great way to get a lot of money and become successful in the eyes of their peers. Who do not yet have an education and cannot earn skilled labor. And of course, for these young people, the feeling that they are successful with others, that they will allow themselves to buy the best things and phones - it is detrimental to their psyche.
They don't realize at a young age that their success is just luck. And tomorrow they can lose everything.

It is the major reason why underaged are restricted from gambling, mostly because their brain is under developed and cant really handle the emotional stress that come with losing money through gambling, Adult have experiences and can easily deal with their losses, but for the underaged, since they have no other way of earning money, they try all the could with gambling, they have no other thing in mind aside winning, and when they lose, they end up chasing their losses hoping they win and recover all that they have lost, if they realize what is going on, gambling have become something they cant do without, this is to say that, and also agree with you that underaged gambler are the most vulnerable when it comes to getting addicted to gambling, this is why we as parent must always endeavor to keep our children out of gambling  at least, until they are above 20 or even higher .

I recently watched an interview with an avid gambler schoolboy who is a former football player. He got carried away with betting, refused to train. And you know what, at the end of each interview, gambler says that he is cured of addiction, and does not want to bet, but the interview with this guy was the first interview when I did not believe that he was cured of addiction. He was still young, unlike other gamblers who were interviewed. And it seemed to me that because of this, he still did not realize his problem in his heart. And this is scary, since he has undergone clinical treatment three times, and usually this is enough to recognize the problem and be cured. But not being adults (under 18), teenagers are not aware of their actions.

The way I'm seeing gambling I don't think that gambling have a minimum age someone can get to before joining gambling in my country, because I do see many more of people who is into gambling and the gambling with Internet not with physical gambling center, its online many people gamble and government have no restrictions for them not to gamble, but I believe that some civilised countries have law guiding their country towards under aged not to participating in a gambling because when you allow someone who not up to twenty years old to participate in gambling and before it became addicted, so it's good to have age bracket some one will reach before staking gambling
Well, in a sense there's no minimum because children expose to gambling even at a young age will totally learn how to gamble with other children. Moreover, it's just being put to mind that 18+ age is the right age to gamble just to have preference and it's the legal age for people to have clear decisions in life. It's really one of the issues that government tend to solve but I guess it will come a long way.
I think this kind of gambling is quite different from the one that needed age restriction like going to a casino or lottery shop to bet on matches or play games when there is certain restrictions for adolescents. Normally when we were younger, we do make bets even with the unreasonable things that we might not have understanding about. I could remember that I have once bet with my dinner and I lost the bet, I had no option than to give it to the winner of the bet to have it with his own meal. This kind of gambling is different from the one you have to go to a casino and bet with money.


In onsite casino some of them strictly prohibited under age gambler because they don't want to ruin the life of young generation. But nowadys there are many online casino or sites offered no age required it means even if a young men can play with them because they don't have enough security to protect young men. But sad to say they will only think the profit of their casino they don't mind if they will ruin some lives.

The truth is that the legal age to start playing gambling is from 18 upward but so many people even started to play gambling even in their minor age.  The government and gambling companies are not very serious if people are really playing gambling at the age at which they are supposed to play. The age which is the requirement gambling companies give people to play gambling have always been looked down

What you mentioned is indeed accurate. Even at a young age, people begin to learn about gambling due to its presence in real life. However I think it's not advisable for them to start gambling before turning 18, as they may not fully comprehend what's in their best interest. They're quite young to engage in such activities like that in my opinion. Once they become more mature it becomes more acceptable as they are capable of making informed decisions and avoiding huge losses or mistakes.

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?


In general the minimum age to gamble in most country is from 18+ but however the online gambling platforms has got a disadvantage when it comes to that because not all platform have adopted the kyc policy making it very possible for minors to gamble freely without the notice of their guidance, this is very wrong because it could have a bad effect on such persons if they begin to get addicted at that age, i think all gambling platforms needs to adopt the use of KYC to avoid minors from participating in online gambling activities, if this is not implemented it could ruin the bright future of those young people that's been forced to go make quick money from those platform out of peer pressure, they could start stealing funds from their parents to satisfy their addictions if they eventually get addicted, also some of these young people are not very matured and would want to misuse the money they won on  unnecessary things.

I don't think anyone under 18 is considered an adult or worthy for gambling. Countries where gambling is more prevalent will have various complications especially if there is a large number of minors. Normally a mature person loses control over himself in gambling whereas a minor will never be able to conduct controlled gambling there. As a result, when they lose their wealth and die, they will develop a desire to commit various types of crime. Which will act as a threat at one time for that country.
Indeed. That's why the minimum age for a gambler is 18 years old. But it actually doesn't guarantee someone has been mature enough. To determine someone's maturity isn't as simple as limiting the age, it is a bit complicated. Sometimes there is a person who is mature enough although he is still below 18, but there is also unmatured person who is above 18. Education and the neighborhood are 2 factors that play an important role in determining the level of maturity of a person.

Of course, if an unmatured person plays gambling, it will be riskier. If they got losses, they can do anything unrealistically due to unmatured mind. This is one of the reason why limiting the age for gamblers is a very necessary thing. Gambling at a too young age can cause many serious problems, especially regarding the potential of criminal and addiction.


You are right that age is not the best indicator for maturity, but at the same time it is not as if we can test every single person in a country periodically to test their levels of maturity, so we have to make do with imperfect tools, and in this case using the age of a person to determine their maturity is the best we can do, after all even if the personality of a person is not mature yet, their brain is in fact way more mature at that age than at earlier stages of their development, meaning that if a person is immature at that age then most likely this is going to continue even when they reach adulthood.

here in my country, despite the fact that regulators do not have many good conditions to inspect casinos, whether physical casino or online casino, so I have hardly seen people under 18 playing in casinos, but there is a big thing that I have seen and I don't know to what extent it could be being used in a negative way by people, and that in my country the bookmakers only ask for the real name of the person, the password and the telephone number that has weight. with that after people create an account, all they need to do is deposit the money using their mpesa accounts, they don't need to do anything else

after they deposit the money using the mpesa account, they can now place sports bets and when they win all they need to do is click on the withdrawal button and the money immediately falls into the person's mpesa account, now knowing that to have an mpesa account on my parents anyone can have it and many parents open an account and give their children their cell phone with an mpesa account, so I see a scenario in which even children aged 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 years old can be making sports bets, but They must not be putting a lot of money. maybe that's why I don't see any news on tv about these minors playing

Indeed. That's why the minimum age for a gambler is 18 years old. But it actually doesn't guarantee someone has been mature enough. To determine someone's maturity isn't as simple as limiting the age, it is a bit complicated. Sometimes there is a person who is mature enough although he is still below 18, but there is also unmatured person who is above 18. Education and the neighborhood are 2 factors that play an important role in determining the level of maturity of a person.

Of course, if an unmatured person plays gambling, it will be riskier. If they got losses, they can do anything unrealistically due to unmatured mind. This is one of the reason why limiting the age for gamblers is a very necessary thing. Gambling at a too young age can cause many serious problems, especially regarding the potential of criminal and addiction.
