Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?

There may not be any legal actions to be taken because most people who gambles today that are under age may likely take or steal the documents of their neighbors or friends possibly their parents documents to pass a stage 2 kyc verification.
I think they have to implement a tougher and stringent way of identification to avoid cheat during kyc verification and to make sure bettors are up to the required age limits to gamble.

For the US the restricted age is 21 in a casino. I think the scratch off or instant lottery rules are 18. But every casino or sportsbook I've seen in the US both atlantic city and Las Vegas is 21. Why what's the question or what's the issue? In tons of cases kids under 21 have gotten into those casinos, but it's the quiet ones that go through.

Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone underage to not to gamble?

I can tell if really gambling site honour or doesn't honour the age limits that are stipulated by various countries but I am sure that it will be within their regulatory compliance to obey the age limit statutes and most centralized casinos have this page where you include your date of birth at the point of registration and as a primary KYC requirement where email and full name are asked.

So that should cover for the age limits, note that most casinos have their date of birth information inevitable and this is to prevent underage gambling

I believe for most online casinos which are not strict with their kyc requirements, some underage may have been playing.
But they know the risks as most casinos stated on their ToS about such age restriction, and they will be screwed once the site starts asking their credentials.
But definitely, I think some underage kids are playing in online casinos. Especially now that access to them is quite easy.
Maybe, someone can take legal action on the site, however, I think, you will just waste a lot of your resources to push thru such case,
in which, the better thing to do is just talk to the kid about repercussions when he decide to go into gambling spree.
Quite hard to go after the casino as you need a very motivating case to go thru all the troubles of filing a lawsuit to them.

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.
