Topic: Should there be any age limit of Gambling? - page 11. (Read 1399 times)
Gambling is a habit that even matured people are having a hard time to handle, what more for minors who are not yet responsible and carefree. Most people consider 18 years of age and below as minors, but it all differs from country to country. I believe as minor people should be learning how to handle finance and to understand the importance of working hard for their future instead of learning about gambling.
Young guys learn the strategies and experiment it to get the best output, and these guys are really lucky. Very few are unlucky and even ends their life on spending continuously without realising the reality of gambling.
If that were true, the old, experienced, rich traders would be hiring high school children.
Below 18 were restricted to gamble, but these days they're the one making the fortune out of gambling. Young guys learn the strategies and experiment it to get the best output, and these guys are really lucky. Very few are unlucky and even ends their life on spending continuously without realising the reality of gambling. Another thing these days anyone can have an account in a gambling website as there are more cryptocurrency accepted gambling sites without KYC.
Well, the age limit is just a compromise by the government to forcefully stop those minors from gambling tbh. The best solution would be for parents to properly teach and educate their kids about these kinds of things early on, but well, that's not exactly easy. I myself have gambled back then when I was just 15,16 years old and damn when I lose do I regret so much playing. To answer your question, well, it is needed since the education system isn't really perfect, and additionally, I call it a compromise since really, as long as anyone has the knowledge of how to stuff, they can access gambling channels even if they were minors, though that's mostly by the age of 16 or 17.
Does the age even hold a meaning? Should it be regulated ? Since Crypto gambling sites have to be super private and therefore regulating the age is a big factor.
Should steps be taken to take care that we don't being up a generation of addictive gamblers or it's all good ?
Nah, I don't think addiction would be that widespread or anything. The first thoughts whenever you gamble and you lose is actually fear instead of enjoyment imo. This fear causes most, if not all people to lose their sense of enjoyment regarding something and hence would quit it instead. Not to mention that gambling involves money. Only a minority would actually win big and hence, start thinking that gambling is easy and stuff like that, hence falling into addiction.

For me, risking money by playing gambling should have an age requirement. Doing gambling shouldn't be a normal activity for kids as it can turn a person into something worst if things turned out bad.
I agree to some extent, and also as parent we have some responsibility of not letting our kids go into gambling.
In some countries, there are different age limits wherein a person can now allow to do gambling or enter a land-based casino.
Here it's 21, and if you go to a land base casino and if the security suspects that you are below the age restrictions, they will add for an idea and they have the right to refuse entry.
But for me, this kind of age restriction does have flaws and not actually followed by 100%.
True, specially in online gambling wherein there's a lot of kids that can bypass and still play even if they are below 18 years old.
Age limit is necessary to avoid the tragedies in family, the purpose is direct and clear: To protect teens from the gambling mindset. The emotional control is at the lowest limit on this age group, so it is mandatory to pass KYC. 21 age is the entry requirement on my country for entering land casinos and this should be same for online versions of casinos.
It is right and just that in gambling age limit is required. Gambling serves an entertainment to many and it is exciting and we don't want to see below 18 years old becomes addicted to gambling. There's a rules and regulations for age limit. In my opinion, the age limit is very crucial since this is very a risk game and can easily influence the child's intuitions.
I think the age limit is needed because we don't want to involve a child on gambling, it should be a mature person to play gambling as they already know good or wrong to be done. Children shouldn't qualify because they do not have enough mature personality yet. Also, I assume involving children in gambling is a bad thing in most countries in the world. Even, maybe it breaks the regulation or laws in a country. Then, yes it is needed to limit the age, at least 18 years old. At the age of 18 they are considered adults, so commonly they entitled to an identity card.
This is good for those minor ages or young people, they might had brighter future if they don't involve early on gambling, they should understand first the value of money. But the problem is usually online gambling businesses didn't have KYC verification because they know that the most concern of gamblers was the privacy.In this case, parents should guide their young children not to involve gambling and this isn't responsible for the gambling industry. Minors age below age 18 years old are necessarily have parent consent.
But for me, this kind of age restriction does have flaws and not actually followed by 100%.
I tend to agree. Surely this wasn't. 
I think it's not the question on what should be the age limit specially for online gambling.
It's the question on how online gambling are going to enforce it? Some crypto casinos doesn't have any KYC so anyone age 21 and below can play anytime they want. Do we want crypto casinos enforcing age requirements by having everyone do a KYC procedure?

From my point of view, there should be an age limit for gambling because if a person or a child learns how to gamble in a young age, they will inherit the negative attitude of a gambler that they will have mental problems such as mood disorders, depression, and anxiety due to addiction in gambling.

I believe the age was following the regulation from the government about the law "How old are you to be considered as an adult". Since the government was set up 18 Age to be considered an adult so they for a vote, sign a legal contract and other things about the law. Because of that's the reason they may be following the restricted about casino and gambling to be 18.
Well, most of the original crypto gambling sites don't have KYC. So it's also kinda pointless to try and enforce age limits.
It might be a little odd too visit a gambling site and not even see an age disclaimer anywhere on it, but it's a reality of these sites.
It goes along the lines of: if you can use BTC, you can use the site. There's no stopping you.
This way I am sure many underage people also gamble. But I'm not sure if the crypto gambling sites don't put disclaimers out of a philosophy. Probably it's just pointless to pretend you're limiting age.

Yes of course. 21 is a better age for one to deicide when to bet or not. But betting is only an interest to some but not to all like to gamble. Besides, that age 21 has broader mindset and a matured one than 18. However, others young ones like to bet even if they were still young so this could be another problem to resolve. In my case I would not rather tolerate them or allow them because they will be prone to addiction and that would be the problem in the future.
There is one important question we have to ask:
What age does categorize a person to be mature enough to Gamble ?
Does the age even hold a meaning? Should it be regulated ? Since Crypto gambling sites have to be super private and therefore regulating the age is a big factor.
The age limit imposed by several casinos still serves its purpose we know it's possible to gamble online and avoid the limit but by blocking most of the sources only a small portion of gamblers will remain. It's the same with other activities that have an age limit there's always a way to do it but the age limit is still effective. What age does categorize a person to be mature enough to Gamble ?

Having steps or ways to prevent it is always good but then again gambling happens in games as well so instead of relying on others better take the initiative and do it ourselves.
This is what it explains from here https://top-casino-bonus.com/age-restrictions-casinos-explained/
Well, age 18 is to believe that have already a job and salary that can sustain with their lifestyle and leisure like going to casinos. That is what casinos have looked to sure that they will not be compromised by these young guys and to question where is their money coming from.

It's neither about ban nor about an age limit, it's about parental control over their kids. If you're a kid, I believe you should try to focus more on studying and other important stuff because gambling is not meant for you, it is highly addictive and can make you lose your real-time concentration, and while watching students ruining their lives behind Pubg, I think gambling should not be allowed to someone who doesn't cross at least their teenage.
But this was based on this on US law, and each country has different laws and jurisdictions regarding prohibition of their citizens.
^ Definitely right and here is the article shows different minor age consents in different countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_age_of_consent. They are all under by their parent consents and probably most of them are in 18 years of age below. For me, 21 years old is enough to find a job and can able to manage themselves that become responsible enough when it comes to gambling and other activity that probably turn to them in addiction. Nevertheless, they will caught from the casino if they will deposit large amount, because most online gambling casino required KYC for the large transactions. 
Gambling is a high-risk activity therefore by any means, it just makes sense to put an age requirement here especially for regulated casinos either physical or online. People have to enter the age of maturity as playing gambling requires being responsible financially.
However, we all know that it can be a bypass, especially in the crypto-gambling world where KYC is not necessary in most of the cases. For this, let's put our trust to this youngers not to fall deeply into playing gambling. Anyhow, we can at least detect if these youngsters, especially if closed-ones, do have an unusual behavior in the process.
For a country that gambling is heavily illegal and prohibited, to the point that their ISP banned all access to all gambling sites, we are sure that youngsters won't reach the idea of doing gambling.
