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.

I can't compare the life when I was a kid and life now! 30 years ago we were free compared with the rules and regulations we have now. Say what you want, but each person should have a right to make a choice and do what that person likes to do! Some kids are smart and if they wish to gamble they will find a way to do it, now tell me is it better for them to do it normally, or to go around and search for shady characters and to give them money, so they can bet for them?
I don't believe that rules and regulations, along with punishments that comes from breaking them can help society and kids. It's better to work on education and how to have fun, how to respect the money you earn and how to spend on entertainment only what you can afford to lose.

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.
Age of 5 years is not a thing for them because they are too young and will not understand gambling that will be played. I don't understand if the regulation is applied in an area.Age 21 is a good thing where they are able to control and how to manage funds so that age 21 is productive and still gambling older is a good thing.
I started gambling at the age of 25 can quite understand it.

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.

For me, maturity is not based on age. Even 18 or 21 years old above still can't handle emotions and their greed properly when it comes to gambling. However, if we are going to talk about the legal age, it usually starts at 18 years old and above. But in my country, you should be 21 to enter land-based casinos. It's really necessary to put an age limitation for this kind of entertainment because it may lead to bigger problems for the minors. But in other means of gambling such as online, usually, 18 is already allowed. But thinking about it, I feel like 18 is still a young age to get really into gambling since, in my country, this age range is still dependent on their parents.
I think 18 will be the age for a person to mature in gambling, this is the time when a person can think deep and have realization especially in gambling. Also, age should be regulated for the sake of the gambler itself. There are possibilities that this might affect a person not only financially but mentally if it is too young to experience gambling.
Most of the gambling sites have terms in their condition which mention about age limit as well and every user have to self declare that they are over 18 to access the site which same goes to adult websites as well.And its not their job to monitor the people's age limit, if they found a minor playing then they will simply block their accounts.
And how can they possibly do that? Most gambling sites do not perform kyc verification nor investigation regarding the age of their users. Even if they have terms and conditions, this can be easily ignored. And, if ever that they have found a minor, which I don't think that will gonna happen (unless they have kyc), user can easily create a new account to play again.
Even 18 is not enough to be considered as a mature in my opinion but most of the countries allows people over 18 to gamble and it changes depends upon the country where you are living.I had seen 5 year as legal age to gamble on a country not remember the name of it but read somewhere on bitcointalk.But definitely we should have an age limit to restrict the kids ruining their parents bank balance knowingly or unknowingly.
Age limit should be very important when it comes to gambling. The point in here mostly gambling site do not require a kyc to join their site and play. As to how an online casino can verify if the player is below 18? It just came to my mind though, but the parents of a minor should supervise their kids to stay away from gambling. Therefore, the age limit is incredibly essential in the gambling industry.Even 18 is not enough to be considered as a mature in my opinion but most of the countries allows people over 18 to gamble and it changes depends upon the country where you are living.I had seen 5 year as legal age to gamble on a country not remember the name of it but read somewhere on bitcointalk.But definitely we should have an age limit to restrict the kids ruining their parents bank balance knowingly or unknowingly.

some people get strong addicted to gambling and other games...and in most of cases underages are not able to understand risks involved in such activities, are not able to understand how they modified their habits just for betting purpose.
They can waste an high amount of money, they can try their luck without limits and so on.
In most of countries the age for "maturity" is at 18 years.
It's ok I think and betting under this limit should be strongly discouraged since there are too many risks / adverse events related this activity.
I think only people who are curious to be able to win when gambling or maybe also because of the influence of yourself who has gained a lot of profit and then want to try again to get more profit but are trapped and addicted to gambling. They can waste an high amount of money, they can try their luck without limits and so on.

Tom "durrrr" Dwan age when he start playing poker at the age of 17 and of course he play in many online casino prior to that notable age. Look at him now, He is a very successful young pro poker player. There is always a risk on how we manage our money even though we are on legal or not. Actually most the player that suffer from tremendous loss was those gambler on legal age.
There is no way to stop under age player to gamble unless all online casino requires KYC.
I also see the elderly playing similar games (especially the quiet games that require lots of thinking and strategies), but what is important to know is whether they bet regularly on the games. I noticed some are more focused on playing free games with occasional bets.
In regards to the question, yes, make gambling on betting games illegal for everyone especially the kids. They can only bet moderately and what they can afford to lose... not gamble.
I like comparing betting to alcohol, *You can drink occasionally but don't get drunk*
*You can bet occasionally but don't gamble (gamble = taking big risk).
You could buy a lottery ticket for your child rather than let him/her play by himself/herself. Children may not have the strong will as the many adults do to avoid betting too much (gambling) or getting addicted or both.

but at least at that age they already know how to earn money by themselves, many people already started to work by that age so for me that 18 age will be enough to accept them to play in gambling casino as long your money is not came from your parent and know the risk of losing it all.

Since in some country the voting or the marriage age legally if 18 years so I would think 18 would be the age where it should be legally allowed. And also, not sure if any country at this point of time has legal age less than this in the world. Today, I am sure even at the age of 15 or so teenagers would be involved in online gambling.
I think nobody can control what' s happening with online gambling, probably many kids are using this advantage of
anonymous betting. I started with gambling when I was 14, kids from the block, we who were playing soccer collect
the money and each of us pick a match. We bought many balls, and sport equipment with money from betting. It was
interesting for us, we were hot about soccer, we loved to play and watch soccer. I think who will responsible enough
can start with gambling in early years, while some people shouldn't gamble even in they are over 50 years old.
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 ?
Maturity in gambling will depend on how long someone is partaking on it. But ofcourse in the age of 21, you are more matured than you at the age of 18.
If age limits on all online casinos will be implemented, therefore KYCs(Know Your Cusomer/Client) will always be required.
There are also gamblers who stays away on casinos that requires KYCs because they wanted to play anonymously.

21 will be a reasonable age for a person who can play gambling, although we don't know how old is that person for playing gambling. They can play gambling at a young age, even in under 18 years old. If they still a young age, they will not think better than the adult person because they want to play gambling and have fun, and perhaps, they will chase the win money.
Gambling should be regulated, and I think many countries are already applied to prevent the young age for playing gambling. But since crypto gambling sites can be accessed from many countries without any limitations because they can use a VPN to avoid the block.
The parents will have a big responsibility to take care of their children, especially if they have teenage kids.
if we discuss the problem of limiting the age of gambling, we should be able to avoid or supervise our children later so they do not know about gambling at an early age because it can cause prolonged addiction. aged 18 years and over I think that's enough to bet, but as we know there are no strict rules about online gambling sites, everyone is free to access gambling sites because most gambling sites don't require users to submit their identities
