Topic: Minimum Age to gamble - page 33. (Read 3733 times)
The majority of betting sites I am familiar with in my area don't really think about being strict on the issue of KYC the only thing I have seen in their advertisements is always "18+," but do they actually abide by the rules sometimes when you go to most of these betting agents use to see a lot of young ones also there trying to place their bets. I feel enforcement needs to take this into consideration because exposing children to gambling at a young age is not the best at all, And I appreciate that some of the nations are comprised of people aged 21 and older at the very least, they should be mature enough to understand their boundaries by that time.
Indeed, the age limit is an important point for gambling companies as a condition for registering on their gambling sites, so of course gambling companies will also be in trouble if they don't enforce these age restrictions. On the other hand, most gambling sites definitely provide an age limit above 18 years, but not infrequently there are also those that provide a limit above 21 years, so I think these two conditions are indeed important for gamblers to bet and also that can prevent gamblers who are children who are still under that age. Complete personal data using KYC will certainly be very convincing when registering on gambling sites and in my opinion it is indeed a mandatory requirement to be able to find out the correct age. 
Many online casinos and physical ones do not enforce the age restrictions until the user wins big at which point they talk about the regulatory rules and use it as a reason to not payout.
Only really honest platforms will stop underage gamblers from playing if they can identify them but majority would not bother to check.

I think you are right, I have noticed that there are many teenagers who are into the gambling thing and yet no casinos care about their age because they don't need such details of verification for short amounts of withdrawals. Well, I would also say that those casinos that ask for KYC when your withdrawal amount is higher aren't always shady ones, because they ask for KYC to better know about their customers. Once the KYC process is done they will allow the user to withdraw the earnings without any issue. They have been doing this for a long time and have built up respect in reputation in this community.
I'm quite sure that most of the reputed casinos are honest and they accept those users for gambling who are in acceptable age group for gambling activities. I'm not sure about gambling casinos, but there are many applications that allow teenagers and even the children to play games like poker. I know that there isn't real money involved in those games, but still morally it is unacceptable by many people around the world.
Sorry, but I don't agree with you, because it is far easier for minors to do gambling at online casinos then the physical ones. The online casinos really don't check each user's age even if the user fakes it, because they work mainly on the model of crypto-currencies, and they mostly allow everyone to freely enjoy the platform without any restrictions, but I do agree that they try to not allow minors on their platforms. However, they can't monitor each user, and that's also a fact.
On the other hand if a physical casino is allowing minors to play the casino games even they can see that the user is below the age of 18 then they are doing it willingly. They allow the minors to play the games for the time when they are losing and when they start winning then they could create troubles for the user by asking for his age proof to show that he's at an acceptable gambling age. I think those shady casinos don't really care about someone's age, they mainly care about the money and that's a fact.

But in physically exists casinos ID checking is a common thing. At least in the country I live, without having an ID card to prove you are 18 years or older you can not enter in a casino. If someone looks older obviously, they will not ask for the ID but if you look younger then they have right to ask for the ID and you will need to show it. The same applies if you are going to purchase alcohols.
I wonder what exactly makes 21 limit. I always feel like 18 year old people are sort of aged physically but in mental most of them are very very childish. So I would say 18 as betting age would be very very low... 20-21 maybe even 22 should probable be limit here as I can remember I felt adult enough only around 20. Anyways I believe most of high schoolers in my country does sports gambling around. Its not well enforced in my country. But in online platforms it may probably be better tho.

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?

It's like websites for adult "You have 18 years old" "YES" ok get in...
In most gambling sites that doesn't requires a "forced" KYC from the scratch it's something the same... well if you lose no one will going to ask nothing but in some cases and some win... you must complete a KYC.
I remember a story of a player that was playing at 17. KYC requested due an high win and he provides document (real ones) just because he was going to get 18 on a couple of weeks! How it ended?
Win seized and account closed
! 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.

While the minimum age required for gambling varies from country to country or state to state, I know that all countries have a minimum age of 18. Especially considering the physical casinos, I think that they are sensitive about this minimum age restriction because they are constantly monitored by the police or related institutions with unannounced visits. However, I think that this situation is not followed so strictly for online casino services. In addition, considering that the KYC process of online services is not perfect I think that users who fall under this age limit with various methods may violate the age rule by showing themselves bigger.
Any casino business that provides gambling services without complying with the age rule or without any age rule will definitely go through the legal process because this age limit is determined as a result of the decisions taken by the states. No age limit is set at the discretion of any casino management.

Any casino or gambling platform that is found to be breaching and allowing underage to gamble on them can be faced with legal action for permitting underage gambling and if you are the one who discovers it, you are at liberty to sue them to the court for safety of the society. Many minors know about gambling and are looking for ways to involved in gambling even before they are of the approved age, and although some minors have found ways to cheat the KYC like stealing the details of someone that trust them like family and using it to register for a casino or gambling platform without the persons knowledge, Casino's and gambling platform should try their best to help in reducing the number of underaged gamblers by not turning a blind eye to inconsistent KYC details.

In most countries even outside the USA they have a law that you have to be over 21 to gamble,it was over 18 until not many years ago.Even where I am now any people wanting to go and play to the land based casinos they have to show their national ID otherwise they will not be allowed.
Even in online sites that are from this country the same rule applies,without KYC you cannot play.This is for FIAT casinos though as for crypto casinos you can play up to 500-1000 dollars without KYC in most cases but if you want more then you have to verify yourself.
I don't know but rarely you will find minors to gamble because of KYC,while in crypto casinos as long as they are not verified you cannot get any data and once they verify for KYC in crypto casinos it is the same,no minors are allowed.
We literally don't know. Some kids may be faking their ID's just to gamble in an online casino or sports bookies. For me though, I would not let my kids gamble as early as below 20. I don't want them to get addicted to gambling or be stressed out about things like this. They can watch sports if they want to but I will block anything that has to do with gambling. Once, I have seen my kid watching a streamer who also uploads videos of his gambling activity, I instantly took his phone and unsubscribed from that streamer on the popular streaming site, and then I picked the option to not let any videos related to it to pop out on his phone.
I don't want it to be a spark of anything. Kids nowadays are wise, they could easily access anything and we must be responsible at keeping those things away from them.

"21" is the legal drinking age in most states in the US, because casinos set their minimum age to allow liquor to be served on the property. So I guess .. if the selling of liquor is not a problem, like with online casinos... then the legal age can be reduced to 18 years. 
How weird is that.... you can drive when you are 18 .. but you cannot enter a casino.
It is more dangerous to other people, if you are young and reckless and you are behind a wheel of a car.... than sitting in a casino and enjoying yourself.

If that was the actual case, every casino and gambling site will be taken down because they do not ensure that the customer age is above 18 or 21 as respective to the states in US.
You will not believe me but I have gambled when I was 16, or maybe you will believe me, nothing hard to do. KYC is enforced recently and 8-10 years ago no one literally asked for it.

How do we expect online casinos to adhere to the minimum age to gamble when many of these casino are non KYC. How are they going to regulate or known who is below 18 or 21 years? Things can be more regulated in a KYC casinos where each gamblers would have to drop there information to verify whether they are up to the minimum years to gamble.
Many gamblers like us had kicked against KYC casinos because it look unsafe for us to use and make betting since our information can be sold or manipulated in a way that could expose our identities to the general public.

The age of 18-21 in California is precise because I have someone living over there I've asked him and he said 18 too, this is not the same in my country because there is no law forbidding kids to never go near gambling, every age is welcome if you know what you are doing, I mean if you know how you can operate a gambling website, the only prevention is the gambling platform age requirements, and I don't believe that all online gambling platforms have this restrictions on their websites unless I am wrong.
- Here in our country when you are in a squatters area, most of the children here who are in elementary school know how to gamble, not just in the casino. It's just another way of gambling, and what is often used is the card that is called lucky or Tong-its, which as far as I know has apps on the playstore.
There is no age limit for anyone who wants to gamble here, although it is strictly prohibited for minors, so it's only a child here if he wants to gamble. As far as I can see, this is also one of the problems that the government should fix here.

In physical and online casinos there are rules that you can read and that includes the age of people who can gamble. If you agree of the ToS and stated that you're in the right age to gamble, you can already access the platform.
However, even now I believe there are gamblers who are lying about their age just to play. It's not a problem at first but if happen to win huge and the casino requires you to abide on their kyc procedure, that would be the reason for them to hold the money and not pay. Because your true age will be revealed. So they will apply their regulatory rules to slap you of the reality that you can't gamble as an underage.

Age to gamble is 18 and above but the issue is that when it comes to online and registration I don't see why the individual registering won't lie just to gain access to any site. Is something that even the online betting site can't handle.

That happens in some countries where every database are functioning but in some countries it doesn't and that's where underage gambling begins, and it hurts to see a child of 15 engaging in gambling.
There's a casino still not set a minimum age to gamble because they're not licensed and not asking any KYC, this will make underage could enter gambling. I don't think you can sue those casino with this reason because those casinos have been operating for many years until now.
However asking minimum age to gamble is pointless, a 21 years old person might have a childish personality while a 15 years old person might have a mature mind like 21 years old.

In the past we had decentralised gambling platforms in which people of any age can spend their money gambling. Nowadays those aren't available anymore and everyone signing up is required to fulfill KYC. Through this the underaged ones can be restricted from using the platforms.
That is simply not true. There are still a few casinos without KYC requirements and most do not require KYC upon registration, only upon exceeding certain account or wagering levels. So the underage still have plenty of room in crypto-space to gamble.
That's right! I don't know where romero121 is coming from with that statement, but it's definitely not true that every person who signs up at an online casino has to go through KYC verification. At least not on most of them. Usually, casinos only ask for KYC stuff when you've won a big chunk of change or when you're trying to cash out your funds.
Also, I don't think it's true that there were more decentralized platforms before, because they are still a relatively undeveloped area of the gambling industry.
