Topic: Minor Protection From Gambling - page 4. (Read 1438 times)

this issue may not only have to do with parents being bad, in an era where even 10-year-olds have access to smarphones with internet and parents need to spend hours at work to earn money, it is inevitable that parents lose control over the children. Naturally, children will go on the internet and will search for ways to earn money and will discover games of chance, there are many adults who gamble and who also have children and these adults play in front of their children, anyway this question is very difficult to solve. deal and have solutions

Bottomline, the impact would be on their kids. If they can't look after their kids, the likelihood of getting into this industry at early age is always there. The responsibility is with the parents. If they can't take care of their kids, at least, instill them the discipline and the value of money. Let us all admit that as parents, we can't watch them 24/7, so the influence is always there.

These kids can trick their parents in doing so.

Maybe they'll say that it's a sort of verification for their school or any legitimate place they're going and then, as busy parents are. They'll just do whatever their kids ask them to do.

And that's the bad side of being busy as a parent.

I think you are very right, implementing kyc is not a bad idea, to some level it will help, but even with kyc some parents will still create gambling account for their children and they will complete kyc for them which is bad because they are supporting minors gambling, so I believe their should be punishment for parents encouraging their children to gamble by paying fan if they are investigated and found guilty.

Definitely, underage children are their parent's responsibility.  Parents should spend time teaching their children.  If they need to be strict and lecture them just to make them a "good fruit" then they must do it.  Government has no ability to babysit someone's children, all the government do is set regulation and pass bills. 


I definitely agree with you! Poor parents, but I think giving them punishment due to their kid's misbehavior is just.  Parents must be accountable for their underage child's crimes. 

True, this all depends on the upbringing and the role of parents is very important in this regard because indeed this is the responsibility they have to give to the child regardless of what the child does, it all comes back to the parents.
But the problem with KYC now is quite difficult, many people really don't want something like this because apart from the restrictions there, KYC is also quite risky for most people.

If it requires KYC and a selfie then the kids or teens has to ask their parents to have a pose with their IDs in front of them.

The parents might ask them and they'll lie and still eventually they have passed that process. I think teens and kids are wiser these days than when we're kids.

They never stop being curious and thinks of tricks that they can do if they really want something to get or to be in.

You have spoken well, A lot need to be done as a parent to prevent young one from getting involved in gambling at early stage. Internet education is better taught to your child by yourself and doesn't leave that key aspect of their life to school teachers, the Internet is full with many adults contents and activities that os not appropriate for kids to get exposed to so there is need to close monitoring from the parent. Under age, gambling is one of the worst disadvantages of gambling as under age gambling addiction is hard to control.

This factor is the focus of every country to prohibit minors from gambling. but in fact we meet many children aged 15 years and over who have plunged into the world of gambling. maybe in this case we cannot blame any party because the factors that cause minors to play gambling are caused by promiscuity in their environment. Especially now that the modern era will all be easily influenced by various gambling advertisements that are scattered so that it indirectly becomes an attraction for minors to play gambling. maybe kyc is very easy for anyone to send fake data and i think kyc is not the right way for this problem. Minors are generally still under the supervision of their parents, if parents do not supervise them properly, they will automatically be easily influenced by the things they have just seen.

-maybe some neatly arranged methods that I got from the casumocares site, maybe it can help those of you who already have children.

~Always “log out” immediately when you’re done with a gaming session.
~Do not use autofill for login details.
~Keep your usernames and passwords out of the reach of children.
~Ensure that your credit card details are kept safe and private.
~Do not play on gaming sites in the presence of children.
~Supervise your child’s use of the internet.
~Avoid allowing children to spend too much leisure time on the internet.
~Learn more about the parental tools available on your devices.
~Educate your child about the risks of accessing illegal sites, in particular, online gambling.

This is where KYC is strictly been implemented on whatever centralized platforms or businesses which are regulated which is commonly be seen on fiat casinos even though or despite of such restriction there are still kids or minors who do still able to access and able to play.How much more on crypto based gambling sites?  Pretty sure that there are lots who could able to access since this is a decentralized market and now government
is trying to touch up crypto platforms as well which we do see some of them already are implementing KYC thats why its not surprising that they would really be following on the same trend sooner or later
but for now we could still enjoy to play without having verification but sadly there are really cons on every pros that we do have.

With all the major put in place to prevent underage gambling, the number of underage children venturing into gambling lately have being on the increase. The government may have put this major in place but then there are lots of violators who have constantly gotten involved in gambling even when they are not up to 🔞 and this is a cause for concern the rate of gambling addiction is below 🔞 is high and drastic action needs to be taken outside what the government has done already.

Gold words! Parents are responsible for their children and if they do not fulfill their parental responsibilities, they should either be fined or deprived of parental rights. But at the moment everything is happening in a different way: a totalitarian KYC is being introduced that concerns everyone and interferes with everyone.

government can left such ban depending the the country we are into all the country where we are I know right where that gambling is wrong something to do but it is a business of someone by creating such sites of gambling so anywhere you are since there is internet access you can operate through the internet. Both of us not very well my gambling government cannot restrict it not operate even though they're making use of it offline it is the same like online. And restricting it will not happen from i understand

Well, the truth is that I am more inclined that players who are minors are the total responsibility of their parents, it could not be another responsibility of anyone else, for a KYC with the ability that minors currently have, it would not be much of a problem for now, I think the greatest danger is in children who are between 8 and 12 years old, who are more vulnerable, in addition, children at that age are very intelligent and can violate any site because their very curiosity leads them to learn about everything that is security in order to to continue advancing in a game, more if it is about playing to win money, this for me has to do with the total responsibility of their parents.

How you do consider bad parenting? You can't really tell that someone parents are bad just because they had some child which is a gambler.Yes, monitoring is crucial but there are instances which can't really be avoided or can be seen from time to time and due to the era we do have on which accessibility is really a matter of few clicks which does simply means that you can't perfectly see all the activities where your child is involving that's why aside from monitoring then it is better to make them also aware and realize ok what is gambling all about and it's cons.

You will never be able to stop underage gambling, because the real problem is "bad parenting". You can implement all the KYC requirements and other systems to try and prevent it, but the "bad parents" will create loopholes for their kids to gamble.

So, how do you change "bad parenting" in a society? Well, you make the "parents" accountable for their kids behavior and what they allow their kids to do. (Let them pay huge fines, when you catch them doing something illegal)  
 

The government is playing it's own role in protecting her minors from involving in gambling by providing such age verification  tech as they understand the negative effect underage gambling can have on children so it therefore boils down to the parents to act in their own sphere by in assisting the effort of the government by preventing their underage children from easily having access to be it their cards or other gadgets they probably use in accessing these gambling sites.

Just like in the  card aspect, they can act as watchdogs by taking time to maybe doing a weekly review of what their card might have been used for by their children and if they find a trace relating to gambling usuage which wasn't done by them (Adult) then some questions could be raised to the child/children (minor) for such utility.

I continue to gamble, but only online. I don't gamble daily and can control myself and my finances. Also, I don't gamble to win. Rather, I gamble just for fun. My parents don't make decisions in my life for a long time and I don't see any problem with gambling as it helps me to get away from work and worries and have a good time paying a little money for it. 

i can say, sometimes it is also the environment where you were brought up. if gambling game is easily accessible once you get out of your door, definitely, you will try it as a kid. even if your parents are not into gambling, but your peers are playing some sort of gambling games, you will try and learn from them. now, it is your upbringing how you will keep up on these games, are you going to seriously take this or just play occasionally? and you can bring this up until you grow old if you go deep in these games. that is, if your parents don't know about it, or will not strictly tell you to stop on this habit.

I started gambling as a child. At that time the Internet was very poorly developed and did not allow to play gambling, so we played various card games with friends on the street. Just as now we played for money as it increases the excitement. So even if we completely ban gambling it is not the fact that children will not find opportunities to play the same poker.
