at least more states looking for 21 years old before being legal to gamble and that is much better than most countries that only asks for 18 years old in which for me still not that completely aware of life and may fool around to become addicted in gambling.
I wish that this is truly implemented and not just a use to make gambling sounds good but many are not bringing this to reality.

I've ever known that the minimum legal age that one could do most adult things is 18 years of age, and the authorities in the US must know what they are doing which explains why they added an extra 3 years to it in most states. Even many people that are well over adulthood have challenges with gambling addicts as they couldn't control themselves in some cases not to talk of those teenagers that are just entering adulthood.

With regards to if they can adhere to this, you should know that this is not the situation in most cases. The parents, children and betting companies/agents they are dealing with are all guilty of this. Any of them with good stature could get the service easily, while in other cases, a visibly underage would bet without any question asked. While some parents would even send their underage children to access the service for them.

We gambled all the way through school, only trading cards at first but later just small amounts of cash for standard card games. Dont think we ever played Poker probably it would take too long during just a break between lessons and maybe it would be too obvious on the gamble aspect but most other game we can talk it off as a game of snap or something harmless enough. Was never a problem because we are only gambling snack bar amounts and nobody was agreeing to gamble more then that to keep it friendly.

Hey, I also did it when I was in school Grin

But I didn't play cards at school but at a friend's house when there was no one in the house and only the five of us. It taught me more about playing cards because we could share knowledge and improve each other's skills. But there came a time when we had learned from each other that we wanted to try something more challenging using the little money we had.

But if we talk about the current situation, I think times have changed a lot where teenagers can now play jud even from their cell phones so no one will know. This is really dangerous for teenagers their age because they can get sucked into gambling without being able to stop. Maybe the minimum age limit allowed for gambling can be increased again. For example, over the age of 21 or even only people over 25 years are allowed to gamble.

Around us minor boys are involved in various kinds of bad activities. Especially they are more addicted to gambling. We should keep our children away from all these bad addictions. If minor boys get addicted to gambling once, their life will be completely ruined.So he should have family protection so that he can't get into all these bad addictions. But for him if he is 18+ I think gambling is ok because if he is 18+ he will understand the meaning of his life and what is bad and what is good he will understand by himself.

We can't keep hiding our children from these dangerous gambling activities, but the best thing we can do is lecture them on how to resist such behaviors. We have the option of keeping them indoors all day, and if these nefarious children are their classmates, there's no way our kids will not come into contact with them in classes or the school environment. Observing our children keeps bad company will undoubtedly harm his choices and decisions. He's nothing compared to peer pressures; he'd want the best from his teen experiences; I've been in that situation before, and it's not a good path to choose.

Keeping children indoors isn't a solution to this problem because if you just keep your children indoors, they will become shy, won't be social, won't be able to speak to anyone properly, they will grow fear of speaking in public, they won't have much confidence, and there are a lot of other things that are caused because of this one thing - keeping children indoors. So it's better to not keep them inside for all their childhood and take other preventive actions.

One could simply make sure that their children are not friends with people or children that are involved in bad activities so that their children are not spoiled, advise them to only make friends that are good and do good things all the time and not with those who do things that are either illegal or just bad.

maturity of the person sometimes depend on how he live his life. but of course, casinos are just making a general approach on this matter. so they are stating that you should be 18 years old and above before you can play. and that because they are following also the protocol of their jurisdiction. this may vary from country to country. but we usually see the age to be at 18 years old as the cut-off on this minimum age.

If you judge someone's maturity from attitudes and behavior, age cannot be used as a benchmark because it all depends on one's own thinking.
For gambling, most casinos that are licensed and apply KYC rules must be clear if the minimum age is 18 years because at 18 years old someone already has an official identity.
It's just that for casinos that don't implement KYC how can they really apply age restrictions because they don't know all of their customers are adults or are underage.

18 year old limit is probably good enough to apply as 18 year old person would at least understand he/themself is the reason he lost and its not the end of the world. I think gambling addiction itself is bit too exeggarated because its one of the most visible ones. Addictions are always bad. Its good to educate kids and make them at least wait for 18-20 ages so they can freely enjoy gambling with properly knowing how bad addiction is.

Indeed. That's why in most casinos, the minimum age to gamble is 18 years old. When someone is already 18 years old, we can assume he is mature enough and has good mentality. But in certain casinos, the age limit can be 20 years old, it is because they are not sure if 18 years old is mature enough. Whatever the age limit, I agree that 18-20 ages are the ideal age limit for someone to play in a casino. We can't make sure 100% that someone is mature enough at a certain age. However, commonly someone should be mature enough when they are already 18 years old.

Countries have got their own practice and it differs. Maturity can't be the measure, because the lifestyle difference between the urban and rural itself have difference in learning and understanding. So as we saw in one of the past post it is good to go with the age of voting. When a person is given the right to vote, it means he had reached the state to differentiate what is necessary and what is not. In such contrary it is right choice than going with the measure of maturity.

In fact, each of us decides for himself at what age he wants to get acquainted with gambling and no age restrictions can stop the interest of a teenager. It seems to me that the majority of forum members played gambling for the first time when they were not yet 18 years old. At least in my country card games and dice are widespread enough on the street and any underage teenager can play with the money he saves if he wants.

That is true, I've learned card games when I was in 6th grader, but not the casino level type of gambling. Though it's also true that age restrictions may not stop an underage to restrict himself from gambling, but it is the casino's responsibility as well as the parents to ensure that no minors are allowed inside the premise or can access the online casino. It might be difficult for most of the online crypto casinos because of the absence of KYC verifications, so I'll consider it as the parents responsibility since it is inside their home.
Gambling around the street may also be inevitable, especially when the people around these areas doesn't care about age restrictions. The widespread gambling all over the street and neighborhoods are the results of the authorities not being active in cracking down illegal gambling.

Parents or guardians are held liable when it comes to this matter on which their children should really be taught about on what are the cons or dangers on involving into gambling which is something that should really be avoided on early age.Somewhat it is really that true that you would really be able to skip or missed out on monitoring your children when it comes to this and this is why some situations that there are young people do
really tend to play on these platforms without being detected. It is something that cant really be stopped because there are really those childrens which are really that too stubborn and doesnt really hear out their
parents advises or prohibitions but still would really be deciding for them to play despite of the risks involved. This is why its not really just that right that you would be putting all the blame to the parents
and due to easy access in todays things then it cant really be that be stopped when it comes to this.

However the required age by most online casinos in different countries is 18 but to me I prefer 21 years because most 18years are still not matured enough to control their actions and most of them are still financially backed by their parents they feel comfortable when they lose because they don't know the stress of making money and could fall back to their parents for more funds.

Different countries have different age limits for engaging in gambling, but the average is 18 in most countries. Some countries have an age limit of up to 25 to play casinos, that includes the age limit for gamblers in some countries like Portugal, Armenia and some others.

If you are interested in knowing more, then see more here: Gambling age
Asian countries have age limits from 18-21 years, but some countries still forbid gambling, especially in countries with the largest Islamic base such as Indonesia and Malaysia. But some others are illegal for other reasons.

Alot of individuals started at a very tender age and were influenced into street gambling by friends due to peer pressure and most of these people are high school students that are not even up to 18 which i still don't consider an age for gambling, now most of the said teenager grow with this gambling mentality and tend to move from streets gambling into casinos when they finally have the funds to do so, if not discovered and tamed from the teenage age, these set of people are the ones that aee likely to becomes addicts because they grew hacing that mentality of gambling because their was no one to caution or let them know the consequences of their gambling activities
However the required age by most online casinos in different countries is 18 but to me I prefer 21 years because most 18years are still not matured enough to control their actions and most of them are still financially backed by their parents they feel comfortable when they lose because they don't know the stress of making money and could fall back to their parents for more funds.

I have to repeat my previous post IMO, 18+ does not guarantee that they are mature enough to think about what is bad and what is good in life.
There are just too many cases where most addictions (not only gambling) is happening around that age (18+).
What we can do is to tell our families especially young generation that gambling is fine BUT....(give them everything we know about gambling especially about its negative side effects).

Having a gambling age to be 18 years Is not even okay to me because sometimes a boy of 18 years might not even understand life and what gambling addiction can to him. I think the age for minimum gambling should be more than 18 years so that children can get to a adult age before they start gambling. There are lots of adolescents that are already into gambling and with time they can generate a gambling addiction that will affect them to make the wrong decisions just for the sake of making more profits from gambling.

I we look at it this way, maybe a lot of persons gambled without even knowing what they were doing.
All that was of concern was, having a prized money or that's the way it looked but in real sense, that be gambling. It isn't limited to dice and card games but, competing against friends and teams with soccer was one meansof exposure for most.

I think the picture becomes more clear when your of proper age to be regarded as adult and go in for your crimes. Am not saying gambling or gamblers are criminals but, am trying to tie a link yo adulthood an reasoning.

That's why, the official recognised age across jurisdictions should be given much attention and violations should be precisely dealt with.

As long as we educate them to know what is good and bad, they will understand and will not try to do bad things. And if they should do something bad, they will be very sorry and not want to do anything else, and just shut themselves in the room. But if we can't teach what is good and bad, they will have no regrets because that is what they think is normal. And if they play gambling one day, maybe they won't feel anything either, especially if several people around them often gamble in public. It's sure to spark their curiosity and maybe even get them to try playing with their friends.

In my country you are a full adult at the age of 18, you can gamble, but strong alcohol, take out loans and buy a house. When I think back at my 18th birthday and how excited I was to visit a casino, I am not so sure if that age was enough to understand everything money related. Maybe 21 is the safer age so that everybody is developed far enough. These strict age restrictions are also a bit misleading because people develop so differently. There can be someone with 17 acting more mature than someone with 27. What surprises me the most is that politicians want children to vote and drive with 16, which seems counterintuitive because how can you make the right decision in one area and not the other. Politicians shouldn't be cherry picking and make strict laws for all sectors. If we need to protect our children from their own actions, how can they choose our next president? Either the brain is fully developed or not, choosing 18 for all matters seems like a good compromise.

18 years old is a mature enough age to make independent decisions. My experience with gambling started before I came of age, I can say that it was a negative experience, because at that time I understood almost nothing about it and to some extent it was the fault of the bookmaker who did not ask teenagers their age. But perhaps this has its positive, because at that time I had very little money to lose something significant.

18 years is considered as an adult but boys above 14 years are now taking up gambling. But it is true that from 18 years a person can take his own decision and his signature is evaluated but everyone below 18 years is considered as a minor. However, in the youth society, the tendency of underage people to gamble has increased a lot. But the actual age for gambling is 18+. Parents should be careful for this.

Around us minor boys are involved in various kinds of bad activities. Especially they are more addicted to gambling. We should keep our children away from all these bad addictions. If minor boys get addicted to gambling once, their life will be completely ruined.So he should have family protection so that he can't get into all these bad addictions.

18 year old limit is probably good enough to apply as 18 year old person would at least understand he/themself is the reason he lost and its not the end of the world. I think gambling addiction itself is bit too exeggarated because its one of the most visible ones. Addictions are always bad. Its good to educate kids and make them at least wait for 18-20 ages so they can freely enjoy gambling with properly knowing how bad addiction is.

What should be the concentration is how to protect our family members who are still not mature enough to be able to avoid all things related to gambling because currently even content on social media often contains gambling so it is really difficult as well as impossible to prohibit them from accessing the internet, but a good relationship is also the way we approach them and tell them well about gambling will greatly affect them so that they will only play when they are mature and when they start doing it they will do it responsibly so they will not become addicted.
The age allowed to start gambling varies from country to country, as each has its own rules and standards regarding maturity but usually, it will be 18+.
