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.

Gambling is least of your concern in regards with the welfare of minors because most of them is involved on illegal drugs addiction that is much worst on gambling both money and psychological effect since drugs is very expensive.

Gambling problem is not that big issue on minor since they have a limited supply for money because they don’t have job for source of income while illegal drugs can be shared and obtained by rich friend which will not happened to gambling because there's no one willing to share money.
Well, i think you are wrong, any form of addiction in the live of a minor is very bad, be it gambling addiction or drug addiction, let me not talk about drug addiction but focus on gambling addiction since that is the addiction you think is not a problem with minors.
Do you know or did you not realize that minors that are addicted to gambling can easily turn to stealing as a means of raising funds to fuel their gambling activities? those minors can start by stealing from their parents, siblings, relations etc, if not checked and when they can no longer steal from their parents, the move on to stealing from their fellow students in school and just about anywhere they find an opportunity to steal, just to keep satisfying their gambling urge.
Gambling addiction for minors is just as the same as drug addiction, gambling addiction can even be worse if time is not taking.  Gambling addiction can turn a minor into a habit of stealing which is another addiction that most people find it difficult to leave which can end one into jail or death.  Gambling is not advisable for minor because minors don't work,  they only depend money from parents and guardians and when this money is not coming from where they are supposed to get it, the next plan they would have in mind to get is by stealing.

Here in the Philippines, gambling is already part of the culture which what we call "perya" which is open to everyone even kids could gambling their properties as long as they are guided by some guardian. Of course what do you expect from that they are not registered and you are not secured if there's a case you won a huge amount of money they could just simply run away. Unlike to gambling to a registered casino or bingo which is required for you to have 18+ age for you to enter because that is qualify for you to be considered as an adult you are responsible for your actions. If you have seen kids in such gambling place or site most likely it could lead to a worse situation as you stake your money plus if you are not matured enough to handle your emotion then most likely you will be banned into any gambling place or sites.

You are right that mate I agree with you as I know that here in our country there are many young kids involve in gambling even though they are underage or let's say they are too young for gambling. But we can not deny the fact that Philippines are one of the country that addicted into gambling. Even the BINGO game which is the most thing we can see BINGO game is in the event but here in our country even in their house they gamble or playing bingo.

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.

I agree with this.

There's a specific age to be able to gamble for a reason. It isn't just implemented for fun, rather to protect the young generation from the possible consequences of gambling. You see, when a person is still young, their brains aren't fully developed just yet. They don't know how to make proper and wise decision on their own and still needs the guidance of their parents or those who stands up as their guardian. Additionally, they don't have the financial capacity to gamble just yet because they don't have an income of their own to spend. Hence, age limit is established.

It's a form of discipline and protecting oneself that's why it's existing, so it has to be followed to avoid any unpleasant scenarios from happening.
And this is we do usually be ending up on having that 18-21 years old of age when it comes to maturity and letting this to be the legal age for someone to be able to deal up with those mature things which needed up with that mature approach which it isnt really that much of a concern if these fellas on certain age level would be able to deal up with those things which arent supposed to be exposed with those young ones. It is really that understandable that they would really be able to handle up themselves.How much more if we do speak about gambling? This isnt something a minor thing
that youngster should be allowed to deal or get able to play with.

Each country do have that almost similar or identical when it comes to legal age which it will really be playing around with those digits that i had mentioned above.On the time that you would be reaching out those levels or age then no one would really be stopping you on doing so but since we are living in a world where internet and accessibility made out easy then its not really that something that could totally stop with those minors who do able to bypass and deal up with gambling on a very young age which this had been a common problem.

It's a form of discipline and protecting oneself that's why it's existing, so it has to be followed to avoid any unpleasant scenarios from happening.

It is as it should be, that gambling must have a minimum age limit. that is why, every country that legalizes gambling has regulations that are protected by laws that apply according to the jurisdiction of each country. this process has gone through the proper mechanism, and when the relevant council made the law or updated it. So, no one should have a problem with the age limit that is applied in every country where gambling is legal. although, pros and cons will always be there.

Well, we agree with the points you said, that there are certain limits to being able to gamble for one reason or another. the concept of being underage, does not come under the scenario of having fun with gambling. in fact, even if the teenager has entered the age of 18+. I would agree more, if the minimum age allowed is above 20+. thus, it is hoped that someone already knows what he is doing in his gambling. just like you said, when someone is young, their way of thinking is still very unstable with a narrow perspective. therefore, as I said above. it is as it should be, if gambling is permitted for people who are of sufficient age and according to the laws and regulations that allow it.

Yet again, some underaged at 16 yo know how to earn money and how hard money comes, and there are those who are, lets say 25+, still leave with their parents and on their receipt, and all they do is playing video games. Is it fair than that first cant, but second person is allowed to gamble. Person matures at different age. Wont it be more fair to let run tests and only they make a decision, if a person is allowed to gamble or not.

So what do you suggest exactly? That there shouldn't be any minimal age at all for gambling, or maybe for anything? Sure, you're not wrong in saying people mature differently (some never, and some get stupider as they age), but as long as we don't have any metric or a way to measure maturity, we have to rely on arbitrary things like the minimum age. Even if it's not perfect, it's better than nothing.

Could take the other side on this subject, its never too early to learn.   Its better to learn all the rules and dynamics to any large subject before engaging personally with any possibly loss risking activity, we can apply that to guns, gambling, drugs anything.  Education isn't a bad thing, that perhaps should be the emphasis not a law just saying no.  I don't especially believe government does anything useful purely making a law to fine people and nothing else; we gained nothing but a tax from their oversight and regime so useless then Shocked
  People might be horrified at this idea but I learnt statistics at an early age, its invariably helped me quantify all kinds of statistics and risks in life as well gambling factors leading to a win rather just all or nothing hopes and dreams.  For sure its a positive to educate people not blindly ban imo.

Well, you have to be aware of something, when we have children we always want to take them on the best path, but things are already very hard, children have access to the Internet in an impressive way, and sometimes these things are easier for them. that they know about casinos, sports betting and everything that has to do with games, obviously they learn things about money, how to do it, an endless number of things, that is why it is partly good that they know, even though they are denied knowledge, they will acquire it very quickly, you cannot go against the current, what must be done here is to guide and supervise.

Children or young people before the age of 18 (which is when they are considered of legal age) should be told about everything, quickly because I am sure that they have already discovered many things before speaking to them for themselves, now the information is there just around the corner and in a very crude way, this is something that it is difficult for us to cover up, no matter how much we want to, we have to Accept that things are Difficult when it comes to hiding information from them , personally my son has 8 years old and Knows many things, her mother gave her a phone, where what she does is play and play , I don't really agree with that , because I prefer that she use the phone to learn languages, now my 22-month-old girl loves to Watch tv and the mother lends her phone to what without Reading knows how to find the programs that he likes, I don't know how he does it, but he does it , that's why as parents you have to be very aware of Everything you watch, no It is good that their stages pass like this without living them as it is , Childhood and Youth is something that is happening to children very prematurely, that is why Gambling, casinos should be told their risks and that when they enter they should It will be when they are of legal age and know something about the Value of money, which is why I Believe that the best age to Consider Themselves an adult is 18.

Your son already having access to a phone at 8 might be a bit premature... But then again, who am I to judge?

That being said, I believe we're all in agreement that, as much as we'd love to shield our kids from the world, it's not entirely possible. Knowledge about the good, the bad, and yes, even the ugly, like casinos and betting, is inevitable. The best we can do is guide them.

As for the idea of introducing them to gambling... well, just say there are more enjoyable ways to lose money. But if they're keen on learning the value of money, its an unconventional, yet effective teacher. Im not endorsing underage gambling, but when they're of legal age, a quick visit to the casino might do more good than harm. After all, losing one's monthly allowance at the blackjack table is an unforgettable lesson in financial management
I certainly agree with you, the mother gave it to her, and there are many things that are normal for her but not for me, in fact, the more traditional it is, the better for me, when my son is at home. I make him play soccer, see other things, play with the pets, do other types of activities, in fact he is fascinated by soccer and plays it very well, it is a pity that we are in a country where you are very talented and you don't like it. Sports are going well, here the bad thing is politics. However, I have told my mother about the telephone and now they control her much more. In fact, the age to have a telephone is at least 15 years old and I consider it a bit early. But seeing as everything goes, there are younger children who have a much better phone than mine, so that makes them cut other talents.

I believe that all children currently have many things that they do and that their parents do not control. In fact, I will always say that the best thing for a child is sports and that they read books, if they are economics books, where they learn. business, well And even better, I really like Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, it's a book that a statistics professor at the U made me read, and I thank him for it (the professor gave him extra points if he did). I read a good book that HE himself recommended) great teacher, and I want my child to read that book, so that he knows that online casinos exist, but he has seen those advertisements, and he himself tells me that he has no money, that he does not he is going to lose playing, because for him casinos make people lose money, when he told me that I was surprised, these are things that I don't know how he knows, but I see all the children nowadays, they are much more intelligent, they have a very high intellect, they are too good at whatever they get to do, always of course and when they like.

In the same way, it is always good to tell them all these things so that they are alert to any malicious advertising, currently the Internet encourages them to do many things.

It is difficult to advise them because they can access silently without the need to ask anyone, gambling sites have now become commonplace and can be found in any social network because gambling promotions spread everywhere.

They should already think that responsibility is important, if not then this will cause new problems for their psychologists, especially in their finances, especially with a student who is underage, of course they only rely on pocket money not from their own income, so it is important to know the risks of causing a big defeat.

Yes, that's what I said, online gambling sites are easily accessible to anyone including minors, it is difficult to know them thoroughly.
You also have all these affiliate programs the casinos are running, meaning that there is a real incentive for people who get registered to also recommend a casino to their friends. If age doesn't matter anymore as many casinos run without KYC and any other checks even for age, those who are already registered can literally lure everyone into playing on a platform. It is how the whole system is set up that the only protection against it should happen at an age young enough when it is obviously not too late and old enough that kids can understand the consequences adults are trying to explain to them.
There aren't a lot of gambling platforms that don't consider the age of gamblers before allowing them to gamble, now that the regulations are hitting almost every sector, especially casinos, I'm pretty sure that the casinos that are operating without a license and are not asking for KYC from their gamblers will be caught by the regulators and that will either be the end of the platforms or they will need to apply the rule of KYC verification for everyone.

I already don't see a lot of platforms that don't ask for KYC verification from their gamblers, even if they don't do it at the beginning, as soon as they request a withdrawal, they are asked to provide some identity before they can proceed with the withdrawal, otherwise, they funds are frozen.
I'm not so sure about it. I've never been asked by crypto casinos to deliver my ID through KYC procedure to them. I guess it really depends on how much you are cashing out from the platform in a frequent basis. Underage gamblers staying under the radar when gambling online might be safe to keep betting without having to prove their age to the platforms. Of course the risk always exist, but if they are small fishes in the ocean, this risk is really low.

The biggest challenge for underage gamblers isn't where to play, but what money to use to play, since they are likely to not have an income, therefore relying solely on parents or guardians to have some spare money for entertainment purposes, which is very limited.
Money might be an issue for some underage but not for many because they have their ways of saving this money for gambling. But that is not the main issue, the main issue is the effect it could have on them at their early stage, I will never support this. And it's more of the reasons why a casino should do their due diligence if they want to contribute to a sane environment by doing the KYC at the earliest possible and as thoroughly as they could, and stop being selfish in the name of attracting more patronage.

This is the issue, they should do the KYC as early as possible, and when is that? Right, before a player can make the first deposit. That would be the only way to quite efficiently prevent underage people from losing money on gambling websites, but since this is against their business model they are not going to do that. No matter what the age is, they will let lose any player lose their money and as soon as there are winnings, KYC might be required.

But the statement from above is also wrong when it was said that people have their ways of saving money when they are not underage anymore (or many of them). With age come responsibilities most of the time. Insurance costs, housing, food, a lot of other things can come into play that are existentially important. Having a gambling blackout at the age of 16 with money you can't afford to lose but still kind of being irrelevant, is quite different from losing a salary that was supposed to pay the bills for the gambler and perhaps even for the family.

Years ago, I don't remember the exact year but it was at the beginning of the last decade those golden years of poker, there were several cases of players who won important tournaments, and when they tried to withdraw their winnings it turned out that they were minors.

 Specifically it was poker Star, it is not so rare for minors to play in casinos, the point is that, if you win you need an adult to withdraw the money.
If the tournament was held online, minors could ask an adult to verify their account. But if it's an offline tournament, I don't think minors can participate because there must be terms and conditions that don't allow minors to participate.

But maybe if during the tournament cameras were watching the players, minors would also not be able to participate because they would be seen on the camera and show that they were still minors. In conclusion, maybe minors can still play gambling freely and when they need verification, they will ask adults to do it.
Online casino tournaments can still easily involve minors due to the verifiable ease of using an adult to do so, and if a minor wins, a verified adult will also do so to withdraw the winnings.
however for offline casino tournaments minors will not be able to enter the casino and children can only walk past the casino on their way to somewhere else. And if a minor walks into a casino and is spotted by surveillance cameras, then casino security has a problem and will likely be fired.

You are right; it is very difficult to detect a minor at an online casino unless he is just dumb and tells the truth that he is a minor. Mostly they are smart; they are really using their parents names and credentials so that they will be able to play. This is like before, when I used my parent's credentials, but it was for a local wallet, and they wouldn't accept school ID at that time, so I used the name of my parents. If this happens, then it will be easy to get verified and play.

Such a mindset would indeed be very good but in other conditions when talking about age, adolescence sometimes we want to try a lot especially when being a troubled child and away from parental supervision.
Not all children in adolescence grow up with a good environment so sometimes this mindset is only a small percentage of children who can do it.

Gambling is currently indiscriminate in looking for targets and things like this are very common in some cities or small areas that are far from being monitored.
Teenagers who do have a tough environment and with loose supervision from parents will have a much different condition. In my area today there are many children of high school age or even junior high school age who already know gambling and it is difficult to provide more insight when something like this happens because advice from elders will only be a breeze.

Maybe adults have started helping minors in terms of registration but if that's the case, maybe because there is a desire from the adults themselves who want to take part in online casino contests or tournaments. There are many ways that minors can play gambling at online casinos because they find it easy for them to gamble. And they will not be able to find this in an offline casino because of the strict supervision of the casino and the casino to the point of using surveillance cameras to monitor the casino and ensure that no violations occur in the casino.

They should already think that responsibility is important, if not then this will cause new problems for their psychologists, especially in their finances, especially with a student who is underage, of course they only rely on pocket money not from their own income, so it is important to know the risks of causing a big defeat.

Yes, that's what I said, online gambling sites are easily accessible to anyone including minors, it is difficult to know them thoroughly.
You also have all these affiliate programs the casinos are running, meaning that there is a real incentive for people who get registered to also recommend a casino to their friends. If age doesn't matter anymore as many casinos run without KYC and any other checks even for age, those who are already registered can literally lure everyone into playing on a platform. It is how the whole system is set up that the only protection against it should happen at an age young enough when it is obviously not too late and old enough that kids can understand the consequences adults are trying to explain to them.
There aren't a lot of gambling platforms that don't consider the age of gamblers before allowing them to gamble, now that the regulations are hitting almost every sector, especially casinos, I'm pretty sure that the casinos that are operating without a license and are not asking for KYC from their gamblers will be caught by the regulators and that will either be the end of the platforms or they will need to apply the rule of KYC verification for everyone.

I already don't see a lot of platforms that don't ask for KYC verification from their gamblers, even if they don't do it at the beginning, as soon as they request a withdrawal, they are asked to provide some identity before they can proceed with the withdrawal, otherwise, they funds are frozen.

I don't know how many platforms you are using or have been trying out in recent years, but I can tell you that casinos accepting cryptocurrencies almost never ask for KYC, at least not in my case but I am probably just a low stakes player for them. I have had no issues withdrawing my money and I was only asked once for KYC, which also worked fine afterwards. Maybe it is really only for the big guys who are about to withdraw thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.

But my point is that one casino is enough when it is very well known for not demanding KYC to offer underage people a place to gamble. It spreads like fire within those groups if there is a place where they can go if they want to.

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.
Yeah that's good advice. I feel that underage people should wait for the right time to try gambling and not see it as a serious way to make money because gambling is never like that. You can't control it as it's very risky and nothing is guaranteed. So, it's better to view it as a source of entertainment and nothing more. It could be really good to have fun with friends and gamble once in a week or even twice but make sure to not put a lot of money on line as it'll be so depressing to lose and It could put you in a difficult situation in real life.

I'm not so sure about it. I've never been asked by crypto casinos to deliver my ID through KYC procedure to them. I guess it really depends on how much you are cashing out from the platform in a frequent basis. Underage gamblers staying under the radar when gambling online might be safe to keep betting without having to prove their age to the platforms. Of course the risk always exist, but if they are small fishes in the ocean, this risk is really low.

The biggest challenge for underage gamblers isn't where to play, but what money to use to play, since they are likely to not have an income, therefore relying solely on parents or guardians to have some spare money for entertainment purposes, which is very limited.
