Minimum limit, a gambler below 18 I guess should not be allowed to gamble, that's the standard rule in gambling and when that is correctly implemented, we might help to listen the gambling addiction as minors or children below 18 are prone to gambling addiction. With this, since we are in crypto, it's hard to implement this but since minors are still under the supervision of the parents, they should do the monitoring.
The general age restriction is at least 18 years old but in my country 21 years old and above are the age requirement when it comes to entering traditional casinos and other gambling area. Actually for those who have baby face or the people below 30 years old required to have an I.D that can be a proof that he/she is above 21 years old. For me it is just right because 21 years old and below are the people who are still in the maturity phase where they are not yet liable to their further actions.

Bisq is a Bitcoin Fiat Dex. Use responsibly
18 above, you are eligible to gamble, just like getting a driver's license, in some countries at 16 you can already get a license, so probably 18 years old is already matured enough to take understand the risk and enjoy gambling. However, I think it's impossible to strictly impose in crypto casinos as anyone can gamble here even without KYC, maybe in fiat casinos it will work, but here it will not.

Well, I do not think it's even a good idea to let above 18 to gamble. It's like encouraging people to take dangerous risk in betting centers/games.
Or it's like telling drivers/people:  "you are eligible to take big risk while driving." OR "you are eligible to get drunk" OR "you are eligible to eat whatever you want".        Taking big risk (esp for selfish reasons) shouldn't be taken lightly.

Your customers should be constantly told to bet little or what they can afford to lose. And not to spend too much time betting or playing games that do not consistently add good values to their lives and the lives of others.
Bet, but don't gamble.

There is a regulation about age restriction in gambling. Most of places only accept players that are over 18. Some are more strict which requires players to be more than 21. And in my opinion, it is good to make a rule about this in order to avoid younger people to become a gambler. They have many things to learn before understanding the full concept of the world outside, including gambling. Education is the most important thing to have during this age

However, currently, people have a chance to interact with crypto gambling without any limitation. No law, no regulation can stop people from involving in such gambling, even when they are under 18. KYC is not necessary and registering an account only takes less than 2 minutes. We have to accept the truth that if we continue to develop the decentralized system, there will be many challenges that contradict our ethics. I hope that one day, we will have capabilities to enhance our technologies so that new innovations can prevent young people from joining crypto gambling without interrupting the anonymity lie behind

Should there be any age limit of Gambling?

Gambling is not for any age. Gambling belongs to the age group who understands what  gambling is and the principles of gambling.  There is a age limit for gambling all across the world. In my country, you need to be 18 years or older before you can partake in gambling activities. Gambling has responsibilities and these responsibilities can't be perform by ages below 18 years.  Age limit for gambling is really needed for the safety of the entire globe.

The age limit for most of the countries when it comes to gambling is 18.

Even though there is a age limit in gambling, this is only applicable in different traditional casinos. The problem right now is the gambling sites where you can easily fake your age since they aren't requiring KYC to their customers. In online gambling, there is no age limit as long as you have access to the site, money to be used and you know how to use it then you're good to go.

Right now, kids and students are spending most of their time online because they can't go out and there is still a chance that they can visit a gambling site where they find attractive. Parents are still needed with this in order for these kids not to get addicted into gambling.

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

-18?
-21?

<...>
18 is the most common age that is considered matured enough even in drinking alcoholic beverages. I think same should be done with gambling. But, I think gambling sites don't really have the control over their customers or players. For sure, those with age lower than 18 can still play if they want to and just fake the information, particularly their age, in the KYC if there is one.

It's still the responsibility of the parents to know what their kid is up to. Disciplining the child while it's early is necessary so that when their child grows up, he would know what is right and wrong and wouldn't be a pain in his parents' ass.

It should definitely have. And as mentioned by everybody, yeah, 18 seemed to be reasonable enough. Problem is, some online casinos doesn't have strict implementation of KYC in which underage users can easily pass the registration step by. You know... faking a birthdate have been a thing for ages, in neglecting the age requirement.

I'd say, better fix the registration process first, for this idea to come into effect  Grin.

I don't think gambling site is really strict on that matter of age confirmation mate, because what they care about is the number of users. When there's a registration button, faking age and birthday date is still presently available. That what I observed not being controlled by the website administration, and if KYC will be available I hope it would follow after the date of birth selection.

Gambling is an activity that can lead to addicted, of course age limits must be applied. Especially when it comes to dealing with money
it will become high risk, especially children under the age of 18 are not mature yet. So gambling in my point of view should be aged 18
years and over. Usually the age of 18 is wise in making decisions, so gambling without any age limit will be very dangerous.


Another thought occurred to me that children under 18 years of age should first of all be controlled by their parents. Each of us should know what their children are doing on the Internet, and also need to explain what such games are fraught with. For children who do not yet have their own Bank accounts, it will be difficult to make a Deposit at the casino and they will not be able to play there.
well I know that but for ages under 18 will still try to make money anyhow, if they don't have a bank account to make a withdrawal they will use a bank from their parents, because I saw my own friend like that, he did gambling at the age of under 18 and do not have their own savings, only allowance is set aside from school to do gambling.

18+ must be the legal age for gambling. But as for this website, the ideal age would be 21. Having that said, in some countries, 18 is a fine age but for most countries, it must be 21.
But the casinos can't monitor those gamblers that will register to each of their platforms, there's no KYC so it's hard for them to validate the ages of their gamblers unless they start asking for KYC.
^ That article you have shared was right, age above 21 are quite enough to balance the situation if it will become a gambler. At that age was already know what is right or wrong. But beyond than that just like 16 years old below is definitely will ruin their future if they will enter gambling and probably cannot manage it very well. However, on that age , they should focus on their study and top of their priority are about learning stuff where they will able to educate themselves.

Having in mind that gambling can cause addiction.and that is dealing with money of course that there should be age limit. Gambling is not suitable for children and teenagers at all and could have bas consequences on their development and phycholgy. Besides setting appropriate age limit it's very important that gambling sites have efficient mechanisms to check if gambling person is under age. From my point of view the lowest limit to access gambling should be 21.

I agree with you that minors have no place on gambling sites. However, there is a big problem here, how to make it so that minors can't register and play in such casinos.
Casinos can of course enter the KYC, but this will alienate many players, and minors can use other people's documents purchased online.

I believe 21 years old is the right age since at the age of 18, they should be focus more on their studies.  It is the crucial age of shaping/preparing for their future career and the government does not want it to be wasted because of gambling being legally accessible to teenagers.
Indeed.
Perhaps at this age, it is quite enough for them to know how to generate profit without relying to their parents.
There should be a limit age to access in a certain gambling site, minors age are prone to being addictive in any kind, what if just because of gambling. It is very crucial for them that perhaps gambling will penetrate their mind and doing this regularly until then it will become a gambling addict. However, as I have known, most usually gambling companies have this on their [Term of Condition].

18 years of age would really be just the right spot rather than on 21 but  you do actually have the point though for this one is included on crucial age but we know that in most laws or regulations where

age 18 is already the legal age.We dont know on whats the basis but it is what it is.Talking about gambling age limitation then its a must have because letting minors or young minds do involved

into this activity will really impose possible problems that lies ahead.Government would be putting up restriction into this one but due to easy access people can do it even on very young age.

Its not just age just in general access to gambling can be banned in various countries.   For religious or tax reasons and I believe either way the company has to at least express some interest in control.   You are correct in saying well its very hard to stop people getting around it but the company at least has an obligation to try and exclude those not suitable customers and it will always be that way.  
   Excluding any other consideration, its very close to conclusive gamblers even those who have asked to be excluded from playing that website voluntarily and then later return trying to gamble.  The website should make attempts to stop the complete access to gambling, its a fair argument that probably wont go away for that reason.

Although parents can restrict their children from gambling children can always find a way to gamble because parents can't be there all time to watch what their children are doing online and the children are smart to erase the history of their online gambling activities, we can only restrict them from gambling by controlling the money that they are giving to their children.

you said children are wise ? means they can steal thier parents before their parents limit the money that will be given to them  . ive been doing this before but not now ive changed alot . i  dont encourage that to anyone because that is bad   .  ive been regretting doing that because my family is not rich and im addicted on gambling that time  . kids can change too when they have grown enough and they can repay thier parents when they have thier own jobs   . for now , gambling should put strict measure so that kids can grow properly
