Topic: Minimum Age to gamble - page 6. (Read 3939 times)

Very good. I'm sure it's at least 18 or older. they usually have a great curiosity. it would be even better if it was with the guidance of an older person. at least they will not stray deep into gambling under good guidance. I think this is a good step from a fair and professional gambling website.

It is better. I think gambling sites that have rules like this have good quality and I think they are very professional and even limit the age of their games considering that children gambling will definitely not be good. at least his age shows he is a teenager or adult to play.

It's sad how people still want to by pass these limits just to be able to gamble not minding if they are not eligible, the limits are usually there but it's sad that you cannot really ascertain who is ineligible enough but has by passed it nd gotten access to the site, sometimes I think adverts also contributes to exposing these kids to gambling as they see it on the screen they may want to try it out especially adolescents.

These set of people are usually very inquisitive and would want to explore everything presented to them not minding if it really does have an after effect which may not be really good to them. I think these restrictions should be tightened on the sites so as to be able to stop children from gambling. Some of these kids sometimes are been influenced by their peers.

Sometimes environment also influences these kids to go into gambling probably they live around people who are in the habit of always discussing gambling and it's like around them, or if the live close to the casino and they don't have strict restrictions from parents or guardians chances are they will be influenced.

Those limits were also set because it takes quite a while for people to become mature enough to take decisions about their life, as studies regarding the brain of people going through adolescence are shown to be massively different than those of an adult, as they do not have the ability to restrict their behaviors as well as an adult does, so thinking about this, those kids that are gambling at such a young age are really doing themselves a great disservice by massively increasing the chances they will grow addicted later in life.

Children can now discover what makes them curious, especially now that they can use the internet better than their parents. So even though there is an age limit for gambling, it does not apply to them because they can look for casinos that do not have that rule strictly. They can register as members at the casino, and the casino doesn't even know if they are underage. The age factor is not a barrier for them to gamble, which makes many underage children start gambling using online casinos. That is also what makes the level of gambling addiction possibly increase due to the lack of supervision from parents over their children when they use devices connected to the internet.

It is true that age will never guarantee a person maturity especially when it comes to gambling because in gambling in order to avoid bad things you really need maturity and a sense of responsibility for every decision or action.
There are some people under 21 years old who have mature and responsible attitudes but not many and most people are still like children who take important things too lightly because they don't want to think too much about anything that might make things difficult in the future.

What kind of education do you mean because until now there has been no service or support for education for gambling.
Gambling is an activity that is considered bad and even prohibited by most countries so there will never be that kind of gambling education.

Sometimes things can be taken very outside the common radar of people, I am a father, and I know what the dangers are that children have when surfing the Internet, when doing certain things like being good with the necessary things so that they can be educated, also tell them the possible risks and dangers that they face when playing any game, casino, or whatever, if the case is that they manage to enter a casino, then things are different, because here the child can play in demo mode, and so on. Maybe you like to start to see how things are with games, how I could play correctly without losing and winning at the same time, these types of things are analyzed quickly by a child.

Now the thing that I always say, we as parents must know everything they do, and it is not difficult, on Google there is a program that is like a firewall, or works as a firewall, what you have to do is install it on the phone ours and on the child's phone, and everything that the child pees on the Internet we see in real time, and we are able to block the sites , the app is called Fmaily Link, for those who may find it useful it appears on Google Play and then once they have it, the children cannot uninstall it, the only way is to give full authorization from the father or mother, that's how it is.

Now, with these things we have control over what our children browse, the App gives information about what they do, what they don't do, and there is no need to look out to check their phone to see what they are up to, so these It is a very nice way that we has to be able to control how they navigate, of course there are clever children, they may use another browser, the truth is I don't know if it applies to another browser, I hope so, I haven't tried it, but I think it's a way to have access to what they see, it is always good to tell our children that there are many dangers, among them the casinos, and that they use the Credit Card.

18 and above was the actual age that was set for anybody who wants to gamble,but Today's society and the digital children that we have now won't even want to hear or know that,to them,as long as they've known their left and right,they think they can do anything with their lifes regardless of their age.So age no longer matter to the children of today when it comes to gambling,and I also believe that the minimum age of 18 was set to reduce the rate at which people gamble,and to reduce the rate at which young people go into crime due to the fact that they are addicted to this gambling thing.

Of course they restrict underage people from gambling, that is one of several reasons behind KYC and you can imagine that random "sting" operations to catch out rogue companies will happen occasionally. Besides that, these casinos make huge money from older adults so they have no reason to break the law and face massive fines which could cut into their profits for the year. It actually surprises me that America has gotten a lot more lenient when it comes to gambling in the previous few years, especially around things like fantasy football related betting, which you might find has these younger audiences especially targeting the 18-25 crowd. If you found a problem with any site, report it to the police or your appropriate gambling regulator and they'll happily take action.

I think they should go beyond just 18 to 21. There should also be some kind of awareness as age doesn't guarantee Maturity. Some people beyond 21 still are immatured enough to  gamble.

There should be an educational system for people who want to start gambling and it should be done in collaboration with casinos and all outlets involved in the gambles space.

Adolescents are a naughty age, the moment they enter this age, losing control from inside and outside then causing trouble and fighting, learning negative things everywhere begin to appear to them every day, especially when society is more developed than ever, this age group is most likely to stand before the law and fall into re-education camps. It feels like a challenge of a lifetime to officially become an adult. People who do not have enough mind and steadfastness before the law and participate in gambling will be re-educated, very quickly to retrain a good child in reform school, the law will handle this age well

Children can gamble at an early age, but they need to be accompanied by their parents to avoid crossing their limits. But remember that they are still children and should not be introduced to gambling because they just want to play, and gambling is not a game for them. In the future, there may be a psychological impact on these children's growth and development because their road to adulthood is still long, and they still need guidance from their parents. That is why it is better for their parents not to introduce gambling to them and to introduce them to other things that are more useful for them at their age.

I first gambled on a cruise ship, I was only 16 years old but I looked old enough because I was tall. Turned 10 bucks into about 180 then lost it all in one swoop! They even brought me a drink while I was watching people play dice haha, that was a lot of fun. Ever since then I never had an urge to gamble in casinos

We gambled when I was a kid, right from a young age but it was not really perhaps as serious as it might be today.  We gambled for like marbles and other things not really worth anything, it was no more serious then a game of football might be where the winner get the bag of sweets or whatever.   Now you have kids in general growing up with the power of technology at their fingertips which could be dangerous I suppose, something as innocuous as instragram can be a negative for distorting the self perception children have.  So I'm not sure its a gambling danger per say but the wider problem of being so interlinked to a global world, it introduces alot of dangers of everything immediately available and even adults must be careful so its a general danger.   I wouldnt give a smart phone to a child personally but its hard to do any different to what most do.

All of these stories are not being followed in the gambling industry, not even on gambling websites. For instance, if you go to Sportybet, you'll notice that they mention "not for under age," but people who are under 18 are still able to access the site and set up accounts. How will they be able to tell if someone is underage? You can see that even casinos are completely full of people who are older. The majority of people under 18 do not gamble much, however it is possible to observe older people still gambling if they are addicted to it. If it has to go by the rules, how will those who have been playing it since a young age become addicted to it and continue to do so after turning 21? If the laws are followed, the casino won't be able to make enough money again.

The best way to prevent someone from becoming addicted to gambling is to limit their ability to gamble until they are between the ages of 18 and 21. Some people can even take out bank loans specifically to gamble, so we can say that gambling was designed for those with money, not the poor. However, all of these regulations are impossible because gambling is a business. Nevertheless, I think that those who are wealthy can gamble as long as they desire. Therefore, none of these principles will work to people who are rich enough to gamble.

i think that the underage have their way through the system by using the document of someone that meets the requirement maybe friend or family member and also maybe some gambling website are not really strict with their kyc requirements which is not supposed to be. going through the lawsuit lane might be a long journey and at the end might not be fruitful enough. the best thing that can be done is to find a way or some means to give orientation to the underage not to get involved so early.

There is no actual age in which one has to gamble, because gamble is not what is ideal in life,what ever they write in casino shops about an actual age to gamble is written just to reduce crime rate in the society,and in the world.They notice that when young people who are teenagers engage in gambling,it results them to stealing because they don't have any source of income that can guarantee them of being free from debt or owing.One thing for sure is that, people gamble to make money regardless of their age,but when a critical look is taken at the effect of gambling on people,it makes one think of reducing the numbers of people that gamble by naming a set age in which they are eligible to gamble.

There is no other choice but to immediately overcome their gambling addiction before it worsens and they can't stop it. And indeed, it requires a lot of effort to cure their gambling addiction. Still, with people beside them who accompany them, it will encourage those addicted to gambling to keep trying and not give up before they can truly cure their gambling addiction. And with that effort, they will find their way to recovery from gambling addiction, which may not take too long.

Those aged 18 to 21 may still be tempted easily because of the effect of their great curiosity about something, so it will make them lose their responsibility in gambling. Apart from that, they can forget themselves, especially when they win, and of course, they will show off to their friends and say they are professional gamblers. Age is indeed just a number, but it cannot be denied that young people are susceptible to things that can make them tempted and end up trying them themselves. And even though they are over 21 years old, they can still be tempted to gamble longer than usual, especially if they have never learned about self-control.

Casinos will not care how old you are because they only present various gambling games and invite them to gamble. Although casinos warn people to gamble responsibly, the risk remains in people's hands because it is their money, and they should be able to take good care of their money. Casinos take advantage of people who lose at gambling, and if you don't want to lose a lot, you have to be able to control yourself and not gamble too much. That's the only key you must always hold onto and don't let go of so you don't lose your responsibility in gambling and don't become addicted to gambling.

Well, you are partly right, because from 18 to 21 years old , well there are more years, which can translate into greater experience into more expectation of maturity, of course maturity is something very noticeable because that is what mentally gives the person more naturalness and security, of course here in the country I am in it can be said that the person matures and has responsibility as an adult at 18 years old, and in his etandard, I think it is good, in other countries even though they are their rules because I understand that sometimes Age is just a number , a much older person can have immature behaviors where they can have things so they can be doing acts where they are not responsible, for example it is the lack of maturity that I say, I have seen operations over 40 years old that They do not mature, they enter any place with the greatest possible sign of irresponsibility to act in any scenario, obviously when they are older, be it 21 years old or 18 years old, if they spend all their money on nothing, and doing things of crazy way because these are things that should not be allowed now.

We as good players must understand something , when we started we may have spent more money, but it was quickly understood that things do not work like that, but that we can become decapitalized very quickly, this is bad, it is never good because without money there is no fun, and currently the way things are in the world, it is desirable to have money for almost everything, or for everything, it is normal, we must understand that a casino will primarily ensure its Profit, there is always a house advantage, those casinos that have tried to take away the advantage have simply gone bankrupt, so you can say that for now things with this type of thing when it comes to money , in any case , you need to have money for fun, to buy any type of good and service.

People must always have their degree of prior responsibility, to make any move and when it is in a casino, with more money, since it is already a matter of how it can reflect their economic mode.
