Age should matter in gambling especially with casinos, but most of casino out there don't have any KYC procedures not only to restrict below the legal age but also to provide a client privacy. That's why they are having a terms and condition for everyone, your age should be at least 18 to get to their platform, if you're not then you still can coz they won't know it, but if they do they will contact you calling for a platform ban. KYC on casino seems not a thing coz there are players who is not really into giving their identity.

That also means KYC.

We use to see adult sites asking if your are 18+.
It doesn't work. They could just ignore it and answer, yes I am 18+.
Same goes with crypto gambling. There is no way they could control what age will play their games.
It all depends on the household discipline.
But there are smartphones now which could easily access everything. So it's difficult to have control.

Wish for the rain? Then deal with the mud too.
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.

Age factor is more important for anyone to understand its value, normally younger people doesn't have that maturity so they gets addicted and spend all their money which is the reason people over 18 are allowed to gamble on most places.But on internet every on our own risk because no one is going to monitor which age group is betting.
Even adults got addicted to gambling so it is not the right reason why there should be age restriction in gambling. Most of the countries have age restriction in their casinos and the player should usually at age 21 and above. There is a unique explaination why most of the casinos all over the world have this kind of rules and regulations. I think the main factor is because of financial problems, where many young gamblers get higher debt because of gambling. Imagine if there will be a gambler who is below 21 years old and he/she stuck in huge debt because of gambling.
Addiction happens at all ages but at younger age most of the people doesn't realize the value of the money so they spend and gets addicted to it whereas an adult gets addicted while attempting to make more money.Debts with the younger age is very rare because they don't have huge amount to go with and also they can't take loans literally but if they do then there is high chance for them to end their life because they will be highly depressed.

For me, 18 is the best age to play gambling because when you play gambling at that age, as you grow older, your experience will become professionally increased. You will learn more about gambling and money, then you will realize that gambling is not a good source of money.

It depends on the person on what age his maturity will develop, you don't need to rush in order to become good at gambling.

It takes a matter of time for you to develop your skills and attitude towards gambling activity.

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.

An age limit to start gambling of atleast 18 year seems like the minimum. For many countries this is already the case and for physical casino there is almost no way to gamble the system. However for online casino its much difference. Before I was 18 I already gambled online, especially with the growing esportes market. There are plenty of ways for kids to gamble without actually using money. Having the chance to bet skins and mounts from games on various websites is a huge market.
in my opinion we need more regulation to protect kids. The chances of getting hooked on gambling is much higher in younger age. It takes a long time to learn responsibility.

At 18, as a rule, everyone is still children who do not really understand anything. In any case, remembering myself and my peers at the age of 18 and comparing to the age of at least 21, I feel a huge difference.
It is more profitable for a casino to make an age limit, the lower the better. But personally, I would prefer that people were allowed to visit casinos only from 25-27 years old. This would lead to a significant reduction in the possibility of addiction.

yes of course because by giving an age limit to participate in gambling venues it can provide information that players have sufficient age to regulate their emotions so that when experiencing a lot of losses will not be depressed and must be able to think clearly when gambling.

Yes, I think there must be a certain age limit to gamble and I believe that this age limit should be the earliest adult age level of 18.  Although many companies and businesses are accustomed to gambling with different methods today, they cause gambling, it is very important to have a minimum age limit to start gambling seriously.  For this reason, depending on gambling type and games, minimum regulations and minimum gambling age should be determined.  In addition, this age limit tracking should be followed very seriously by the states.

Age limitation in gambling should be mandatory.

In gambling, we are talking about money, the younger a person is, the less he understands the meaning and role of money,
which means that he can unconsciously launch a large amount that does not even belong to him, but for example, belongs to his parents, which in turn raises the question of the survival of his family.

I think at the age of 21 a person more or less understands what money is and how it is obtained.

You own the pen
I did Gamble when i was very young(local gambling of course) and this is a cool experience but i don't want my children learn about.
Not because it is That bad but because this will divert Their mindset from studies to vices and i should know since i did it for years.

I even Gamble my whole week allowance and if i lose?i manage to sell my school stuff just to sustain my gambling addiction.

I don't want this to be their experience so my answer is at least  18-21 years old will be allowed to gamble .

Because i believe that they are more mature and responsible for their own decisions.things that only few realized until they ruin their life.

Those aren't know how hard to earn money and mostly they play with their allowance. Most of the time when they lose and there's nothing left on them, they do things which not suitable for their age. I have known some people who got addicted in gambling in his younger age, when they don't have any money to play, they shovel some pebbles to sell them to the people while carrying it with their young body. They only get few bucks from those stuffsbut they still use it to play.

Well it does, as we know it's high risk and high reward in gambling. You lose more than you win, so kids in my opinion should stay away from it until they know how to manage their money financially. Gambling is not wrong but with excessive betting, it could destroy someone's life.
Gambling is all about the risk we take to make an earning out of it. Even the Pro gamblers find it hard to manage the money in gambling. As a kid or as an youngster there mind will be filled with positive thoughts about gambling. This will easily make a kid go bankrupt and end his life. Days back one such incident took place in my state. He was working part-time after college, he played online and finally spend his company's money into betting with the hope of recovering all the losses. This ended up with a loss, and finally he committed suicide.

Every one as a kid do gamble some money of a local fair or carnival but that's much different than professional gambling.
The age limit for gambling is in place as a kid can't be held fully responsible for their actions as they have a fluid mind.
Most of the time a kid don't have a source of income and if they gamble, they'd be gambling their parents money and mostly without a consent.
It's necessary to make it hard for kids below 18 to gamble but on 18, people became much more in control of their own life. So, I consider 18 being the age of economic independence.

On a rational note, yes, there should be an age limits for activities such as gambling.
However, due to the technology in this generation, minors are more tech savvy than ever.
There may be restrictions, yet, they could possibly make their way around it especially if it is moderated in an online platform.

18 I guess.. but honestly, I start gambling already when I was 10 years old as I grow in a family of gamblers but not a kind of online games, it was just a card game.
Most of us who been exposed with this activities in the early age mostly gambles before reaching that age.

Actually these days, kids matured fast, so 18 years old is already a reasonable age for someone to be allowed to gamble.
Considered how online exposed more youth to deal with this entertainment in a much earlier stage of their life.

But in crypto gambling sites, it's not important as we can gamble anonymous, in reality, even kids are already gambling these days.
This pay much attention as kids can play as anonymity is present from crypto gambling site, they can enjoy as early as they understand using internet.

You got it right mate, financial problems because of excessive spending through gambling can be the reason why there should be age restriction in terms of online and traditional casinos, they will fall in the trap like having huge debt that will cause many problems in their lives. 18 years old and below are the people who are not mature enough and it is only right that they are restricted to go and play in traditional casinos and also to open an account and made bet in online casinos.

I think better if all gambling even it's online or traditional gambling are going to limit the age of playing of 18 years old and I think most of them are that age but they have others who are set the limit for 21 ages .But I saw other thread before who are allow 5 years old to play gambling I don't know the reasons why they do that but I think if we set the age better if a person is 18 or 21 because that is determine that you are mature enough to think what is right and wrong.
In order to achieve this thing, KYC must be done which is very critical on crypto gambling site but if its an online casinos, then I'm sure they already have KYC which limit the players not just by age but also with their country of origin.

Gambling at the very young age is not good, they can bring this attitude when they grow older and this can be the start for them to suffer from greed and addiction. I don't allow my kids to access any unfamiliar website, making a restriction with your internet connection can save you from worrying a lot. 18+ age of players is a much on any gambling ways, I hope the casinos are still have care to every player.
