You are right, as far as I am concerned it could be that anyone who is over 18 years old is considered an adult, however when we make a sketch, there are countries where a person is over 21 years old and it seems to me that it is not bad, it is Well, then the older the person is, the easier it is for them to do something to control themselves in a casino, but basically I don't know if it's standard, but in any case, people who are older are considered to be 18 years old. .

Teenagers who get false IDs and who can make false documents, well, that's another thing, it's known that it's a serious offense, I don't know if that's something for which a caisn can be called sane, so at the moment If you make a very large withdrawal, casinos usually ask for additional identification, because basically things can go up in rank when there is more money, so the additional KYC can be a video, one more document for the withdrawal to be successful, something like what Binance does, that for security reasons things can be done like quick 30-second videos, something like that.

In some countries where gambling is legal, casinos can be admitted at the age of 18, basically I can say that things are good when a person knows they are mature, in the country it is required that they be of legal age for the simple fact They have to be consistent with what they have , with what they do and Above all when it comes to knowing well what they can do or how to behave in a casino, and above all be responsible for their actions.

In this order of ideas, many people can say that things with casinos are about austerity , expense management, many things like that, but more things cannot be done because that is what we as people can determine when we can be responsible for a In particular, a minor cannot be allowed to enter or interact because the law protects them, and would punish the casinos , that's basically it.
Countries that allow 18 years of age need to change their regulations by raising the age limit for someone to gamble to 21 years of age because they are truly adults, even though in reality, 21 years of age does not guarantee that someone can act wisely. Many people over 21 are trapped in gambling, so they cannot get out easily. But it depends on the policies of each government because countries that allow an 18 year limit may be really adults, so the government makes regulations like that.

Getting a fake ID is difficult, especially in a very strict country because the government monitors everything. Still, there are always ways to make fake IDs, especially if there are officials who can help. It is not surprising that some already have IDs even though they have not been able to get them, and instead, they are used for things that may be illegal in their country. They may need to get guidance from the government so they don't repeat their actions, especially if they use their identity to register at a casino. That will put them in big trouble because they can develop a gambling addiction, which will negatively impact their life.

But it is true that when gambling, they need self-control to manage money and not be wasteful. And they should learn to be responsible gamblers so they don't exceed their limits and don't become addicted to gambling. However, with the convenience of online casinos, minors can enter and gamble freely. Each parent must pay attention to this when supervising their children.

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.

Perhaps it is too late for them, but they must be able to convince themselves that even though it is late, they still have time to cure themselves of gambling addiction. And by wanting to recover, they will try to find a way and do it well. They may need help from other people to do the things necessary to heal themselves from gambling addiction because they need other people to accompany them during the healing process. And even if young people are addicted to gambling, they can be cured, especially if their parents accompany them. The presence of their parents in the healing process really gives meaning to their children because they will see that they still have support from their parents, so they will be enthusiastic about going through every process of healing their gambling addiction.
This is the sunk cost fallacy at its finest, people think that because bitcoin has grown so much already that it is too late to do anything about it, but the same thought crossed the minds of people before the 2017 and 2021 bull run and we know what happened, it is never too late to do something, so if a person has fallen victim of any addiction then they need to do what they can to overcome it as soon as possible, as even if they have been addicted for years they can still recover and live a normal life.

Another ideas how effective controlling our children not try with gambling limited their money in daily day, don't give them too much and enough use for depositing fund in gambling account.

Unlike in some cultures in other countries, moms stayed at home to teach their children good manners and conduct, not working all day just to pay the bills and let their children do what they want as long as they stay at home. only a few children will be alright with that because they somehow managed to adapt to the current situations and not fall into some bad habits or addictions. But for others, this is some kind of chance to do whatever they want and some of them fell into porn addictions, and others as we said, became gambling addicts at an early age.

I think addiction at an early age can still be overcome. Gambling addiction at an early age will not be the same as when they are adults and have an income. those who are still young tend to just join in. and they also play with limited money. Indeed, this can also have negative impacts on society. but it all also depends on the relationship.
Those who are still minors, when they enter the adult world, will experience extraordinary changes in their mindset. like switching from busy playing to busy working. This can cut off communication with bad relationships. I mean not pushed by the people around him. Once they are adults they will be more responsible for determining the actions they will take. such as continuing to gamble or leaving it.

But a normal age for the game is 18 years old, but we have many advantages, because in online casinos, there is the demo game mode, and that is a mode that is very disliked by other players, no one likes to touch the mode demo, no one likes to talk about demo, if I am a person who spends a lot of money, who wants to multiply the money I have, I must first know what I am going to get myself into, obviously this includes doing things first Regarding the fact that the casino has and will always have the advantage, this will not make them lose in the long term, we as players must understand that we are not going to embezzle a casino, much less are we going to leave it bankrupt, I think there is no Many whale players, and those who are whale players, take care of each dollar as if it were a great treasure, so this is what we must detail very well, that we cannot put our money so lightly, because at least to me It is very difficult to earn my money, I must work hard, and obviously I have to do things to be able to earn it honestly, one is time, invest time in doing it well, doing it with love, because working without passion or love, for that reason nothing is done, or You are simply unhappy with the job you have, I don't recommend working on something you don't like, just for the money, the epna is not worth it, because you will be miserable at that time, so when we talk about casinos and we want to maintain a good performance we must take the demo mode.

Now, at the moment we do other things, for example explore the demo mode very well, master the game, there you can win with real money, because you already know how to handle the game well, you know it's difficult It's easy to have good profits and everything should be done with great moderation because that's how the game is, it should not be done in a crazy way, but with great moderation, why? Because it is money that we are risking, this is something that we must take into consideration for everything.

Being responsible is a decision; being addicted is a decision that is born of our ignorance; and stopping gambling is also a decision. Some people don't just feel it is necessary to stop because they feel it's already too late to stop, like they have wasted time at it and also enjoying it, and why do they need to stop? From an early age, it could be easy to control for some people, but not all. Everybody responds differently to their decision. Some people cannot be controlled while they are young, but as they grow and are faced with self-responsibility (just like you said), they want to make money and look good first or acquire more education, and then their attention could totally deviate from settling too much on gambling and other things. I no longer agree with some of what you said.

The coming of computer devices has made access to gambling very easy for kids who should ordinarily be kept away from the knowledge of gambling/casinos.
In fact, gambling can not only be accessed from a computer but can also be accessed using a cellphone connected to the internet. Moreover, without having to access gambling, we often see games on cellphones that contain gambling, even though they are just simulations or demo games, that is what ultimately drives the desire. Children are familiar with gambling which is sometimes difficult to prevent them by prohibiting them from accessing the internet.

I prefer to explain to my children about the dangers of gambling addiction and introduce them that gambling is not good so don't ever try gambling with friends or anyone on the internet, because it's best to play with anything on the internet as long as you never use it for gambling, however Our children cannot be banned because it will make them curious and try it. So it's enough to explain the consequences and risks of gambling so that they stay away from it.  Wink
This is a form of convenience that everyone can access gambling sites anywhere and anytime so it is not easy for us to put pressure on those who are still children not to engage in gambling activities.
The existence of so many conveniences has a big influence on the possibility of an increase in the percentage of gamblers who are still underage and this is really worrying.
Several efforts have been made to suppress and minimize the number of underage gamblers but all have been in vain and none have succeeded.

As parents of course we can easily give advice or education to our children so that they don't fall into gambling but the problem is that when they are outside the house we cannot monitor what they do.
It is better to limit cell phone use to our children and always check what they are doing with the cell phone.

However, many children who are given freedom actually become uncontrolled when using cellphones. I think the role of parents is needed to give firmness to children so that they don't go beyond the limits. I have a younger brother and happen to already have a personal cellphone, but as time goes by I see my little brother is increasingly out of control and if that continues to happen and parents allow this, it is not impossible that he will access inappropriate things including online gambling, indeed gambling at an early age is very impossible for them to do because they know that the expenses for gambling are not a little but it is not impossible that one day when they have money they will try it.
There must be parental supervision so that their children can be controlled in using their phones and so that they do not exceed limits that can make their lives difficult. We have seen the impact on young people who do not use their phones properly, where they instead use them to play games. It just wastes their time when they could use their time to study or for other things. The absence or lack of parental supervision can make their children access inappropriate things and if they visit casino sites accidentally, they can start gambling without their parents knowing. And when the parents find out, it may be too late because the child is already addicted to gambling.
Every parent strives to educate and nurture their children. They try to make their children grow up well. But sometimes parents cannot control their children despite their best efforts. They can control their children the way they do when they are young but not all parents can control their children when they grow up and when they become of common sense.

Mobile devices are now a very general needs. It is very difficult to prevent children from this. If they learn to use a mobile device, they will never be able to live without it. Once they learn about betting, it will be difficult to turn them away.
The holy book, which is the Bible says that we should train up, bring up a child in the way that he or she should go, and he or she will never depart from it, a child that is difficult for the parents to control proves one thing, and that is the fact that, such child was over pampered when he or she was in his or her tender age.

When we over pamper children, they Will surely grow up to become or cause us headache, there is an adage that says that, "you surely will end up crying for a son or daughter whom you never loved to see cry when he or she was a kid", it means that, if we do not start training our children when they are little/baby, you will have a hard time training them when they enter teenage level.

Gambling should be kept away from teenagers until they are atleast, 18 and above, and this is if the teenager is no longer a student.

Yes, most gamblers have the wrong mindset regarding gambling and the probability of winning big. I would even say that such gamblers are dreamers. No, I'm not saying that you can not dream of big winnings, but in my opinion to make the goal of life does not make sense, because in gambling too much depends on chance. I understand when a person sets himself such goals as to earn money for a new house, buy a car, have children, but I do not imagine such a goal as to change life through a big win in the casino. Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I sincerely don't understand it.

True, and there are many factors that influence or cause their mindset to be wrong. The first could be that they come from financially insufficient or can be said to be poor people and when they know about gambling with all the big wins that are there, they then think that this seems like a solution to improve their finances, the second could be that it is because of their innate personality, for example they have a greedy nature and when they enter gambling obviously whatever they get it will always not be enough for them, even though they have won several times the capital they bring, and in the end well maybe you know the first and second points above end up with a downturn, and always like that.

Well that's right guys, there they are like creating dreams and fantasies and they also stupidly think that it will happen soon, even though it is clear - obviously it comes out of their minds and lusts that are just imagining. If you don't understand and believe that there are no promising wins in casinos then I say your mind is healthy, obviously maybe we also already know that gambling only depends on luck so of course what you say is true, having a goal to change lives relying on winnings from gambling is just nonsense.

I would use observe and guide instead of control. If I fully control life of my kid, I doubt that something valuable will be learned. 100% sure there would no "own experience" behind all that. My vision is that kids must get their own bumps and bruises in life, instead of parents putting pillows everywhere. As to phone - be my guest to play games, but before that homework must be done and have good grades. And I would be very happy is something new would be learned during that gaming session. My kid knows what is money and how hard they came. Knows how easy it is to spend and lose them. Even though the kid is in first grade only, I wont be banning gambling sites and app. Wants to gamble - feel free to do it. Just first needs to be smart enough to register and make a deposit. If the kid looses all the money in first bet - I wont give more money. Either earn it or wait for BDays or Xmas Cheesy Bumps and bruises Cheesy
Every parent will have a way to teach their children so that they can understand how to face a tough life. No parent wants to see their children suffer in living their lives. Therefore, every parent will guide their children to live well. And I think that's a lesson that you give your children so they can know they have to learn to survive. And if you allow your children to gamble, you also have to teach them about self-control because we already know the impact that can be experienced by gamblers who cannot control themselves. And I think they can have good self-control because you guide them so they won't experience gambling addiction when they grow up.

It is true that with current technology it seems that it is easier for children to access these things, online gambling should have its own rules/verify data so that it is not easy for children to access things related to gambling. In my country we are very against gambling, especially for underage people, but there are still quite a few people who continue to gamble for entertainment reasons. You can gamble, as long as you can, don't do it in public places, let alone near children, because childhood is a period of development and maybe they are curious and have access to things related to gambling. I am very worried about this because this will have a big impact on their future.
Even though online gambling sites may have rules/verification for children, it seems they can get through it easily because they can find solutions based on what they learn. We might find it difficult to understand how they can do it but not them because they can use it with their abilities. Today's children can find solutions if they encounter difficulties and will look for them from many sources so that they can solve the problem well. But still, we as parents must continue to guide them well so that they don't go down the wrong path, which could have a big impact on their lives later. And with our guidance, they can grow and understand what is good and bad for their lives so that they will always be careful in their actions.

Every parent strives to educate and nurture their children. They try to make their children grow up well. But sometimes parents cannot control their children despite their best efforts. They can control their children the way they do when they are young but not all parents can control their children when they grow up and when they become of common sense.

Mobile devices are now a very general needs. It is very difficult to prevent children from this. If they learn to use a mobile device, they will never be able to live without it. Once they learn about betting, it will be difficult to turn them away.
Children have their own desires but parents can still direct them to do good things so they don't go wrong. If parents can provide good teaching, their children can get through their times well too so parents don't need to worry if their children will choose the wrong path. Moreover, if parents are always by their side and give their children useful advice, they will feel that they are not alone in living their days. They need this because they often feel alone without anyone paying attention to them, so if parents can do this, their children will not feel alone.

It is difficult to prevent their children from using mobile phones, but parents can set clear boundaries so they will not use it for things that could harm them later. With the right guidance, their children will be able to use their cell phones well and not choose the wrong path.

Bad example, but yes, that is ok.

Regards alcohol bottle - I have some whiskey and wine bottle on display at the kitchen. My kid never tried to reach it. Because we told him that it is for adults, it is bitter and taste bad. With armanda90 (the one I've quoted) vision of banning apps and have full control, would be setting cameras and as soon as my kid tries to grab battle, smash his hand and punish him. Regards key in the car - I have told my kid consequences of car accidents, told about driving licence, police and jail. The keys are in free access at the door. The kid could take them and start the car. The kid knows and can push brake pedal and turn selector to D. Never seen my kid trying to taste alcohol or starting my car. Was it because I ban it?

You know what, I just came to conclusion that I allow my kid to do whatever he wants. But before that, I have told him hundred times to think before doing something. And we discussed a lot about consequences after deeds. That is all because I or we talk to each other a lot in family. That is why we barely have secrets from each other. That is why we respect privacy and give free time and space to each other.

It is not necessarily about your kids only. In your case it might work out, but I can tell you that I know kids who have burnt their fingers on the stovetop regardless of whether they have been told that they shouldn't touch it because it is hot. I know a kid that drank dishwashing liquid. It has been told it shouldn't, but half a minute of less attention was enough for the kid to grab a bottle of dishwashing liquid and try it out. It also depends on the age, and while very small kids put everything in their mouth, older kids or teenagers tend to underestimate consequences. It is very typical. Every teenager is told to not drive drunk, and yet many accidents happen with teenagers and young adults under the influence of alcohol. Education is right and I am all for it, but when it comes to things that involve mental control and understanding of consequences, it is more difficult. Gambling is such a thing and alcohol, too. Barely any teenager that gets wasted every weekend would tell you that they have an alcohol problem. Same would probably go with gambling.

Online casinos do place restrictions on ages according to the requirements of any countries where in they are situated but sadly some underage person do forge their age even their KYC document to be able to gain access to the sites so as to be able to play various games, win and make money for them selves, it's sad that you really can't asertain on a 100% who is telling the truth or not as online deals mostly with virtual activities.

In my country where I reside the legal minimum age permitted to gamble is between 18-21 but I think that of the united states' is similar to this and it stands to be very much recommended as people who fall within this age limit can to a great extent make decisions for themselves under every good circumstances. This can help curb some irregularities that may be caused by gambling.

Regardless of the age limit it is most advisable to not get to the point of addiction while gambling as this may cost you a lot even if you have attained the age, when you incure so much losses from gambling it may have some psychological effects such as depression on the the victim. In all you do gamble responsible, an advise usually seen on almost every casino site.

For me there are no game limit in gambling as we all know that nowadys there are many online casino uwhich is not strict and they can allow many gamblers even though they don't know yet the exact age of thier player. But there's a site who ask  a KYC which is pretty sure if that they are doing a good thing as we all know that it will lesseer the minor gambler. But not the the sulution about who to fix the problems I'd the young gambler.

The gambling should be considered as the game and shared to the children,because if they learn themselves.It May leads to the addiction of gambling.I had an habit of teaching my children each day one game.So they learned the gambling in my family itself.So the possibilities of getting into the gambling addictions was low.This habit will save my children from the gambling addiction itself enough for me.By the initial practice of gambling,my children know the value of money.They only do the control of money deposit to the website.
Aren't there also children who are seriously addicted to games? Maybe you introduce gambling as a fun game for now. but I hope you also tell them the risks and responsibilities when they play with their own money in the future.
I think introducing or learning about gambling on their own is not the problem of why they end up addicted to gambling at a young age. but maybe if the game is supervised by parents it will be better than them playing alone without any control.
they might force us to make another deposit when their balance runs out but they still want to play. that's how kids are.

The kids btw are more addicted to gambling than adults. But they have their own kind of gambling. They make bets or better say argue who is stronger, faster, who makes more , who has more and etc. Their addiction is different. Their gambling addiction does not involve money, but have their own values, like "a wish", or something video game related (in-game gold for example).

Btw, we all discuss how 18 years is not enough for gambling, also mention that trading at that age is not good either. But are you familiar that kids <18 yo trade on platforms like steam? Like 10-12 kid buy and sell cs:go skins. And later withdraw money to his card or paypal. So dont you think we sometimes overreact about kids, gambling apps and gambling age?

The coming of computer devices has made access to gambling very easy for kids who should ordinarily be kept away from the knowledge of gambling/casinos.
In fact, gambling can not only be accessed from a computer but can also be accessed using a cellphone connected to the internet. Moreover, without having to access gambling, we often see games on cellphones that contain gambling, even though they are just simulations or demo games, that is what ultimately drives the desire. Children are familiar with gambling which is sometimes difficult to prevent them by prohibiting them from accessing the internet.

I prefer to explain to my children about the dangers of gambling addiction and introduce them that gambling is not good so don't ever try gambling with friends or anyone on the internet, because it's best to play with anything on the internet as long as you never use it for gambling, however, Our children cannot be banned because it will make them curious and try it. So it's enough to explain the consequences and risks of gambling so that they stay away from it.  Wink
That is the best approach,  because by explaining to your kids on the danger of those activities,  it place them in a better position to be able to protect themselves when they are faced with that challenges of deciding whether to gamble or not or do any other act that may have high negative risk on they total well being,  and this is why at most cases even if a person have passed the 🔞 year set by government,  it still need to add some extra year's,  and most importantly is better for an adult to start gambling that someone in they 20s or early 30s.

And the only time you can teach your kids all that is when they are young and still growing up,  and that is why there is a higher need for early education in the home and both parents are responsible for training the child and giving them all the necessary support most especially in area that are seen as red light such as gambling.

However, many children who are given freedom actually become uncontrolled when using cellphones. I think the role of parents is needed to give firmness to children so that they don't go beyond the limits. I have a younger brother and happen to already have a personal cellphone, but as time goes by I see my little brother is increasingly out of control and if that continues to happen and parents allow this, it is not impossible that he will access inappropriate things including online gambling, indeed gambling at an early age is very impossible for them to do because they know that the expenses for gambling are not a little but it is not impossible that one day when they have money they will try it.
There must be parental supervision so that their children can be controlled in using their phones and so that they do not exceed limits that can make their lives difficult. We have seen the impact on young people who do not use their phones properly, where they instead use them to play games. It just wastes their time when they could use their time to study or for other things. The absence or lack of parental supervision can make their children access inappropriate things and if they visit casino sites accidentally, they can start gambling without their parents knowing. And when the parents find out, it may be too late because the child is already addicted to gambling.
It is true that with current technology it seems that it is easier for children to access these things, online gambling should have its own rules/verify data so that it is not easy for children to access things related to gambling. In my country we are very against gambling, especially for underage people, but there are still quite a few people who continue to gamble for entertainment reasons. You can gamble, as long as you can, don't do it in public places, let alone near children, because childhood is a period of development and maybe they are curious and have access to things related to gambling. I am very worried about this because this will have a big impact on their future.

The gambling should be considered as the game and shared to the children,because if they learn themselves.It May leads to the addiction of gambling.I had an habit of teaching my children each day one game.So they learned the gambling in my family itself.So the possibilities of getting into the gambling addictions was low.This habit will save my children from the gambling addiction itself enough for me.By the initial practice of gambling,my children know the value of money.They only do the control of money deposit to the website.
Aren't there also children who are seriously addicted to games? Maybe you introduce gambling as a fun game for now. but I hope you also tell them the risks and responsibilities when they play with their own money in the future.
I think introducing or learning about gambling on their own is not the problem of why they end up addicted to gambling at a young age. but maybe if the game is supervised by parents it will be better than them playing alone without any control.
they might force us to make another deposit when their balance runs out but they still want to play. that's how kids are.

I would use observe and guide instead of control. If I fully control life of my kid, I doubt that something valuable will be learned. 100% sure there would no "own experience" behind all that. My vision is that kids must get their own bumps and bruises in life, instead of parents putting pillows everywhere. As to phone - be my guest to play games, but before that homework must be done and have good grades. And I would be very happy is something new would be learned during that gaming session. My kid knows what is money and how hard they came. Knows how easy it is to spend and lose them. Even though the kid is in first grade only, I wont be banning gambling sites and app. Wants to gamble - feel free to do it. Just first needs to be smart enough to register and make a deposit. If the kid looses all the money in first bet - I wont give more money. Either earn it or wait for BDays or Xmas Cheesy Bumps and bruises Cheesy
