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 find it weird that in the "land of free" people have full rights only after they turn 21. Here in Finland it's 18 and someone supervising my drinking and gambling after that would feel a violation of my rights.

I don't really know what the right age would be where people are responsible enough to make their own choices as i was an older man when i learned about responsibility, so either of those numbers wouldn't be right on my case.

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.

If you win small amount of money and you want to withdraw it from the casinos if you have not get verified before, you will se how strictnthese online casinos are. You can deposit easily without KYC, but to withdraw is strict and with KYC and the casino will make sure that the gambler has not violated any rules in the terms of service. It is not only about big winning.

The thing is that casinos have the same rules as regards fo both deposits and withdrawals, because at some point we have seen players being asked to make a verification for depositing an amount on the casino, and also the same could be asked while trying to also withdraw from the casino also.

One of the points of KYC trigger is when one wants to make financial transactions such as either deposits or withdrawals and in so doing one must be ready to face that if you playing on a centralized casino., this does not have anything to do with age or what have you, but even for age restriction, there is no way a player can manipulate that unless you playing on a fully decentralized casino.

The Gen-Z children we have now are so smart that they could use every available means within their reach to bypass KYC requirements through the impersonation of their parents ID and these are online casinos what you give as personal data is what they take in. These online casinos understand the implications they could face such as legal actions by allowing minors to gamble using their sites and that's why the introduction of the KYC.

A more proactive and advance method of the KYC system I think online casinos should add to their requirements should be a selfie picture or a 3secs vdeo selfie to be added to the customers data as a way to categorically differentiate between adults in gambling and minors posing as adults using their parents or guidance ID for reg of KYC.

If we do speak about minimum age not only on gambling but even on someone to engage with liqour and other mature things then you would definitely be needing to touch up that age of 18+ or more which it turns out to be that a standard age for someone to deal up with something like this. Come to mind that even on watching movies does have that 18+ age recommended and even on smoking or whatsoever on where it would really be needing that you should be on the right age for you to engage but we know that due to easy access or accessibility nowadays then it wont really be that so hard on dealing with things if we wanted to.
We've seen lots of minors who do really get engaged into those which are been prohibited and no matter how the government do really give out those warnings or prohibitions but still there are people who are really that able get to bypass those security measures on which it do ends up that these young people would really be able to touch up this field without their parents consent or awareness and on the time
that things get messed up then this is where they would really be caught on doing something like this.

Underage gambling is dangerous due to various reasons followed by bad effects of gambling on the developing brain. They are not old enough to understand the risks and look the casino games as fun, they can fall into the wrong assumption that casinos are the way to make easy money. Over 21 is a good age to let young people gamble and enjoy their responsible gambling action, not the other way. In online casinos, KYC data is required to register new users and they have to be verified to withdraw big amounts, that is the main rule of ToS in majority of the online casinos.

The casino and sport betting companies that are self centered on coins like Bitcoin and other friendly altcoins are majorly doing KYC to identify the person behind than the age bracket thing, they are more concern who the user is than the question "is the user is between the age bracket or not" and it's disturbing how society is having more numbers of gambling than those who are willing to real work. Not saying gambling is a bad practice but it should be practice and recognize by the norm set aside by regulatory bodies, that's why you hardly see scam accusations of casinos and sport bet confiscating an account for age requirements, they are always fighting bonus abuses and multiple alts on gambling.

I also think because is now digital, your phone can do the job thess days that's why it's even difficult to fight this or take legal action. I do say to people that AML or KYC is used by some companies because they fear been fine or any legal action against them, they don't do it in accordance of the law. I don't like KYC by the way.

Online casinos are just like land-based casinos, they will follow the laws of the countries they are offering services.

A lot of us here would probably say that online casinos are the ones that can be exploited easily by minor players. But in my experience in my country, I never saw once when I am in a land-based casino where the security guards are asking people for their IDs. I saw a lot of people coming in and out that seem underage. Except in Singapore wherein you need to present your passport and locals are asked for their IDs.

Reputable sites do, and they are able to thanks to KYC and age verification, other gambling sites aren’t or are just flat out refusing to do so either because it’s a drag having to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in creating systems that will verify someone’s age through KYC, or because they’re afraid of losing money from these underaged citizens to which I say you have to be a certain level of asshole for you to even dare to do this.

With the current reputable system in the industry I don’t doubt the legitimacy of people who’re playing, at least in the age department, I’ve encountered some manchildren while I was gaming and gambling, but that’s the closest I’ve ever had an encounter with an immature individual in the gambling world.

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.

Yes, but the thing is there any casinos so far that prohibit gambling of minors I mean an online ones? maybe in physical ones it is possible but for online casinos it is a little bit impossible. I really do hope that there will be some feature that can detect whether the player is showing real ID for kyc or not but again, children and minors should not be tolerated to play at early age.

I guess they are but I think only if they are being watched by the authority but for sure there are casinos out there that might be allowing minors to gamble even if for sure it is prohibited. Online casinos should be difficult to track though but for sure there's is something out in the shadows that minors gambles and sites that allows it.

For online casinos, I believe they are not that strict when it comes to underage betting because they never know whether someone who is playing is an underage lad using the docs of someone else in order to gain access to the platform. There is just a lot of ways to game the KYC system for underage bettors to come through. In brick and mortar casinos however, it is a lot different. If convenient stores ask individuals not looking like they are 21 years or older whenever they want to buy booze, how much more would physical casinos to individuals not looking like they're old enough to be in such an establishment?

Online gambling companies who knowingly permit or facilitate underage gambling are subject to legal prosecution. States and countries have different rules and regulations regarding online gambling. Operators who are discovered to be breaking age limitations may be subject to sanctions, fines, or possibly have their licenses revoked. To comprehend the possible legal measures that can be taken, it is crucial to check the relevant laws and regulations of your area.
You can report a gambling website to the relevant regulatory agencies in your country if you think it's allowing kids to wager. These agencies are in charge of monitoring and upholding the laws governing online gambling, and they have the authority to penalize operators who break the laws.

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.

There were many no KYC crypto gambling sites before, but later many prefer to require KYC. There are web3 casinos now which people can still use. Some web3 casinos come to this forum but their announcement thread is moved to altcoin board. Some casinos too are non KYC but people are not really trusting no KYC gambling sites like before as reputable ones are requiring KYC now.

Through this the underaged ones can be restricted from using the platforms. Even this is being bypassed with the verification details of parents or closer ones who are at the legal age to gamble. Underaged people gambling have brought big wins and there are examples of winner handling it in a mature manner. Same time there are people who end their lives after big losses.

Maybe they stole their parents documents for the KYC purpose, I do not think any parent can let their child to be gambling, not to talk of given the child their identity document to be used for verification. No matter what, underage can not win the gambling site just like adults.

As far as I have observed, most online casinos do not allow underage gambling. (In most countries of the world, you must be at least 18 years old). This is usually stated on the front page and during the registration process, when you have to confirm that you agree to the terms of use of the service. As for the specific regulations for individual countries, most casinos have a clause in the terms that each player has the responsibility to familiarize himself with the local laws and that he is obliged to act accordingly. This means that the responsibility falls on the individual, and you cannot sue them for breaking the law unless they did it knowingly.

Judging by the age range, gambling is equated to alcohol almost everywhere Grin

As for violations and liability for them, of course, it occurs if the gambling site is within the legal reach of the one who decides to punish it. But as we know, such murky enterprises skillfully hide.

By the way, how does opening loot boxes in CS:GO differ from gambling? I don't see any fundamental differences. And here any minor can participate in this game of chance.

What if the parents intentionally force their children to gamble and then sue the site? I don't think legal action can take place.
There are site who are strictly following the legal age requirements, and some site are not since they don't have KYC.
There's a lot of young people getting involve into gambling which I think is not ok at all, and I hope most of the site will be more strict with this since those young gamblers are more prone to addiction as they can't still control their emotion.

Online casinos also have this rules when it comes to the minimum age and if someone tries to cheat with their age, then you cannot just sue the site since you agree with their terms in the first place and you might be the one get sued after all. Online casinos without KYC are the one who are more prone for underage gamblers, this might be the downside of having no KYC at all, but then again if you get caught expect that the site will do necessary action against your account. In my country 18 years old is the legal age to gamble, to young for that.
