Topic: Should there be any age limit of Gambling? - page 12. (Read 1403 times)

In my opinion, the age restriction for gambling should be set at 18 and not 21. That's a considerable age where one can make certain decisions for themselves. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. I know a lot of gambling sites put a disclaimer about allowing only people older than 18 to make bets but that's hardly the case and only a few casinos do KYC (In most cases, If your win is big). Still its hardly checked.

Even if there's a law setting the minimum at 18, people can always get around it.

When it comes to alcohol then i believe that most countries would really have that 18 years of age is being allowed and same as on smoking or even getting a drivers license.
This age isnt already considered as minor.

On gambling side where each country do have its own laws.I do even see gamblers from other countries which are very young and i dont know why government doesnt make any actions on that or just simply
this is an issue of parenting or whatsoever.

We cant just point out our fingers and blame if our children would got involved into gambling at earlier age.It all starts into us parents on giving out the right direction. Even if gambling is prohibited in your
country then as mentioned above where it can be easily accessed as long you do have internet connectivity and a smartphone.

It's a nice topic huh.

Well according to the Minor law of Wikipedia, age below 18 years old is considered as a minor. And yes, minor age doesn't belong to this activity and in the context of alcohol and of course the gambling with the age below of 21 years old aren't allowed to gamble or even drink alcohol/liquor. But this was based on this on US law, and each country has different laws and jurisdictions regarding prohibition of their citizens.

-18 would be the best age but due to these days technology then accessibility into these places isnt really hard thats why we do see some minors do get involved into this stuff.
-When we do talk on the right age then they do already have their own decision and views when dealing up with things not like when you are still young and being able to tied
up with gambling stuff then you are high likely to be a gambling addict sooner or later.
-This is what other countries do imply or make laws where there are places which do prohibits gambling because they do want to protect their citizens, yes
this one can generate big taxes but they dont really care at all.

Since we were kids we used to make bets , as for me even a small Race or a big project meant a bet between friends, then as I grew up, I realized that it's more of a Sports .

At the same time unfortunately the country I belong to does have a strong ban on Gambling , STILL , I see old Grandpas , Dad's , uncle's playing Poker outside with an amazing set-up.

Crypto Gambling is a whole new level , there are so many games , it have revolutionised the gambling industry in a whole different way , This provides Privacy and Variation that is much needed.

It's much safer and at the same time I do think there are amazing offers out there even for first time customers and the referrals , this is the new era.

There is one important question we have to ask:

What age does categorize a person to be mature enough to Gamble ?

-18?
-21?

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 ?

[Something fun I want to share: My Private Tutor who was supposed to teach me and 10 other kids , used to have a small illegal business of Gambling on Sports and every Match was betting time , parents apparently did not know anything about it 😂]
