Topic: Should there be any age limit of Gambling? - page 3. (Read 1403 times)
The age limit that a person can gamble legally must be 18 years old and above. When a person gamble it could cause a harm to you or to other person as well. Even a person who's age is above 18 years old could even cause problem to his/her family. Better not to gamble and get addicted and cause problem.
The most percentage of people find gambling is too addictive and any kind to addiction can harm an immature brain heavily. As it is not possible to judge particularly whose brain is mature enough, an age limit is fixed.
That is one of the reasons why I don't want to get addicted to gambling or any of my relative.I know how harsh gambling is when it comes to the mental part and it can really affect ones brain if it is immature and it already affected many people both adult and young kids. Age limit can be implemented but in online gambling, this cannot be implemented as there is no KYC in the gambling sites.
As a gambler I don't want my information to be seen, I want to stay anonymous as possible.

As I said, they can't filter their sites everytime so let's talk about their parents to cut off their connevtion to these sites since they can block sites to take care of their children.
If I'm using their services too, I don't want to share my information into somebody that I don't know like these gambling sites. I'd rather stay anonymous or just find another gambling site if they require KYC to their customers.~

In the end, its the parents who will help these kids not to get addicted into gambling.
The higher the age limit better it is but then government has 18 years of age limit in countries I know which is of legal tender age as per them. Also today with the internet age, there would be so many teenagers who would be into online gambling so much that age limit just exist for casinos and not for online gambling there is not minimum age as such.
Not only that they should also check the money they are giving to their children.
Maybe we could do a test if kids would like to be taken out of that general rule - like a maturity test if you really want to gamble with 16 or 17?
I think we don't need to do this. We must decide on a fixed age limit on gambling. Even it doesn't guarantee maturity but it is a common regulation around the world. To let 16 or 17 ages get a maturity test makes us like inconsistent with the regulation. So, in my opinion, it is better to make a fixed age limit on gambling, it will avoid confusion among people.As a gambler I don't want my information to be seen, I want to stay anonymous as possible.
A lot of online casinos have their own way of securing their sites and their users but when it comes to KYC and cryptocurrency gambling, I don't think I will like that. A lot of people here don't want KYC and I think you know why sites don't implement that.

This is a much more complex question than the question of "sufficient maturity of the mind." As we know, many adults suffer from this addiction (as well as from many other addictions), but they are fully adult capable people. What should we do with them if their actions do no harm to anyone other than themselves? In democratic countries, they have every right to harm themselves.

In most countries alcohol or cigarettes are only allowed above 18 because they are too addictive. I would put gambling and casinos in the same category. Of course the addiction is not as strong and doesn't come so fast as drugs. But we should still protect our kids. But then again 18 is just a number and humans tend to reach maturity at different ages. In general woman are more mature at a younger age then men, but it's still the same for everybods.

age 21 may look more determined in making a decision. if a minor has gambled it will be very difficult for them to control their emotions, if they have become addicted it will have a negative impact on the mental health of the child.

Well, I think people shouldn't be allowed to get drunk(assuming that's what "drink" means in your post). There is nothing wrong in drinking, the problem is drunkenness(abuse)
But here's the problem
Even in military and under an oath, obeying an unlawful order can result in criminal prosecution. In other words, you are legally responsible for your actions even following from direct orders of your chiefs. Then, why are you to be held fully accountable for your wrongdoings since 17 years of age in matters literally concerning the lives of other people, but you can't be considered having the capacity to manage your own affairs in such trivial matters as alcohol consumption until you turn 21? Doesn't make a lot of sense if you ask me

Now our technologies are very well developed and children get acquainted with them from an early age. However, at the same time, they are much easier to become addicted to computer games and other entertainment. I believe that the later they start playing in the casino the better. Therefore, I would not allow people to play in a casino before the age of 21.
The problem is that with current regulations it's impossible to control whether person that plays on website is adult or not, it's especially impossible in crypto casinos since people prefer to play there in order to avoid KYC documentations and similar procedures.
The only real solve of this problem would be if casinos will ask you for facial verification on daily login. Otherwise, teens tend to get IDs, passports of their mother/father and create account that way, then use their credit card to withdraw money, it's easy to lie, you may ask something like this: My friend needs to withdraw money and he doesn't have card so asked me for help. Or reasons can br endless.
Without doubt, none restriction will ever work, especially age restriction in this case but at least it reduces a potential number of teen gamblers because of fear and etc.
of course with the KYC the gambling site creator can know the players and can ensure that the players are people who are over 18 years old because according to research only people who are over 18 can think clearly and accept the risk of loss when gambling .The only real solve of this problem would be if casinos will ask you for facial verification on daily login.

Are you sure about that? we are talking of crypto gambling sites here, are you gambling with the popular sites in the forum? and did you submit documents for KYC? I guess you are not familiar with the crypto casinos yet, yes they might as you to fill up such information but there are casinos where you can gamble with username and password only, they are not strict by the way and no way they can determine if a gambler is 18 years old and above.

Well, pretty much since childhood we have been playing with games of chance. Childhood has some petty gambling-like games like marbles and collector item card games where the losing party will give certain number of marbles and collectors item cards so it is not really cash or crypto gambling if you can call it as such. Betting started in playing sports where friends or classmates can make bets and give a little of their daily allowance to the pot. Many other examples can be shown that you can also find younger persons also likes to gamble. The legal age should be imposed to gambling in a legal gambling place like a casino or poker house and I think the legal age should be at least 20. 18 for me is too young to make rational decisions and furthermore more susceptible to bad habits and bad company of persons that might ruin the young gambler's life.
Yes, there are many probability games in childhood. There are even games in which there is a substitute for real money, such as chips of various kinds. But this is not real money. It seems to me that if at an early age children play for real money, they will grow up with a wrong understanding and attitude towards money. They can take more risks and treat money as something not serious, on which nothing depends. I think this is the path to addiction.

Casinos aim is to maximize their profit, so they will do everything to attract gamblers, as long as it's legal, but if the law of the country allows 10 years old to gamble then they would accept it, but in crytp, there's limit written in TOS but how can you ensure minors will not play when gambling is anonymous.
Obviously not. There are no guarantees. Therefore, all responsibility for violation of TOS falls on a minor, but considering that he is a minor, it falls on his parents.
Therefore, again we come to education, and those values that parents should instill in a child.
For a crypto casino, such a scenario is quite acceptable, because what difference does it make to them where the money comes from.
