under-age gambling.any side effects?

Firstly gambling is a habit that becomes an addiction when not properly control and its really gonna eat you up likewise making you restless and not always focused on things you should do.

The rate at which i see young minds and teens involved in the act of gambling in my area is really alarming and because of the poor regulatory bodies controlling the laws in my area they can't really do anything about this and its really affecting this young age.
Gambling has become a thing for everyone in my locality with out any age restrictions and am just curious If this is not going to cause side effects on this young gamblers.

Just the other day i was predicting some games in the world cup in a betshop cause my network was bad so i can't stake online so i decided to go to the betshop to place the bet, then to my shock i was boy aged around 14 to 15 years who came in and gave the cashier a booking code to place the bet and give him the coupon and the cashier collected and i was like isn't this too little to be involved in such acts.

And am just curious if this won't affect the person in times to come

When you realize you have been gambling at school as a kid, not with money yes, but what is money if it aint its value, and school kids value bragging rights and pride.
School kids who sometimes enjoy playing with other kids in forms of video games, or simple sports games.

And of course the state of euphoria when you come out as a champ.

what are the police doing so they can't control the gambling of underage children. in my neighborhood there was a child who had just been caught by residents trying to rob an old woman, when asked by the police he answered to pay debts to loan sharks because he lost at gambling

Most governments have a Know Your Customer (KYC) policy because of this exact reason. To prevent underage gambling, as well as malicious criminal activities. This is one of the examples where KYC actually makes a little bit of sense. I've said this before, but not all KYC is a bad idea. Unfortunately, a lot of cryptocurrency gambling websites don't have this requirement which makes it a lot easier for underage people to gamble. I'm not saying that they should implement KYC though, I'm just saying this is unfortunately unavoidable without compromising other users privacy.

I'm generally okay with KYC for physical casinos because they'll ask you upon entrance, not after you deposit money, win, and try to withdraw.

You don't have to comply with a KYC either, refuse the ID request and just leave the premise.

I'm sure a lot of underage gambling happens on online crypto casinos, I'm not sure what the solution is. IMO, it's unreasonable to ask for KYC for every user just because a minority of them might be underage. Parents should police their children better instead of passing that off that responsibility to platforms.

We, adults, have problems with how to cure our addiction and it's taking a big toll on our minds and our work, what more on the youth, gambling should not occupy the mind of the youth their mind is fertile and can easily influence if their thoughts run on how easy money be made on gambling, they will not study anymore and will just their luck in gambling. and this will shatter their dreams and will be a big problem for their parents and society, youth should cultivate their dreams and study to fulfill them, and gambling should have no place in any young's mind.

Mostly the reason why they won't allow underage persons in gambling is because it can make them addicted to it, and you know that if this comes, you can't control yourself as well as you are going to do everything, no matter what just to gamble, it's sort of like doing drugs. Also, there are a lot of reasons why they are going to gamble. First, they were just told by their parents to bet on this as a task for them, and second, they have friends who will tell them to bet since they can earn money on it.

Underage gambling has a novel effect on the future of the person.
because minors cannot control their emotions properly and eventually they will become addicted and become bad habits until they grow up.
Some gambling addicts who are really extreme can become really depressed and crazy just because they are addicted to gambling. There have been lots of examples where people with high depression have been caused by gambling.

and I think underage gambling should be supervised by the gambling regulatory agency in your city to provide proper guidance for underage gamblers.

Kids are going to gamble. You can’t stop it. Kids see things and they want to take part. Gambling is no different. I recall kids in school gambling on things from as early as I can remember. Even games like Pogs were introduced to children that seemingly fueled the urge to gamble. There isn’t much that could be done as it’s easier to gamble than get your hands on alcohol as a kid. Especially with online gambling and crypto now, I don’t see this as an easily tackled problem.

I remember playing pogs and different kinds of games which is some sort of gambling in a form. You are right, we cannot stop kids from discovering things such as gambling. Learning gambling at a young age is inevitable especially nowadays when kids have access to almost everything thru the internet. I would say with proper guidance and discipline from adults a kid will never go astray. I've grown up in a family of gamblers, my grandparents are heavy gamblers but with their proper guidance, I never became a problematic gambler. So parents take a huge part in how these kids grow up since there's no stopping them from discovering things.

Gambling is much practiced by the underage people. Amidst the regulation and restrictions the usage of gambling have increased much among the younger generation over time. Gambling gives the belief of being rich, and this tempts the younger ones to be into gambling. This kind of underage gambling is much experienced on the African countries and the same will spread around, as the gambling industry is getting widened with existence of more and more number of gambling service providers.

The only thing that is not good in the minds of minors and even adult gamblers who are involved in gambling is that they think that they can get rich with small capital gambling bets when they get the jackpot bonus like the Lottery.

Especially since I have seen many of them become millionaires because of the lottery, even I sometimes bet on the lottery here when I saw that the prize in the raffle draw was too big. And I think the number of gamblers has increased now since we entered the pandemic and now every country is gradually easing up on this matter.

Unfortunately, that's true. Kids cannot be stopped, especially in the digital space. Nowadays it is not difficult for a child to buy drugs on a dark market or even more so to play in a casino, if that is what they want. In the same way non-traditional values are promoted when Snow White is shown as a man in a cartoon, for example. I'm not talking about teenagers who are 15-17 years old, they have already got their minds set. The digital world has a very strong influence on young children. And gambling is probably not the biggest problem.

This is undoubtedly the case, many children and adolescents are quite curious and do whatever it takes to obtain information and access to the places they most want and are prohibited from, when it comes to casinos, many are drawn to it, and they have access to all kinds of things. of technology because they are very smart, they are capable of learning anything, there are no limits for them.

That is why parents should have a very important role in their children, parents always have to protect their children, and one of these ways is through supervision, making them do activities like sports, music, making them learn an art, whatever keeps them away to make up.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope

I think the fantasies of underage people are bigger than adults, influenced by the spectacle of entertainers who live glamorously so that they can dream of achieving unlimited "success" as early as possible. Basically, underage people find it easier to place bets without feeling heavy because most of them don't understand the difficulty of making money on their own. Besides prohibiting underage gambling, regulations in several countries also do not allow young people (school age) to get a job.

The legal age has been a topic of countless discussions already and while I agree that there should be some limits and we shouldn't allow children to do what adults are doing, but in different parts of the world the word adult means different things. In some places a teenager who is 16 is considered to be of legal age to gamble, drink, start a family. In other parts of the world like in the US you have to be 21 to do certain things.

So what's the legal age? How old should a person be to drink, smoke and gamble. Most US teenagers have sex before they turn 17, but they can't legally drink for another 4 years. Is that what restrictions should look like?

Just like any other addiction, it starts with developing a habit. Then once you continuously do your habit, it becomes a discipline where you integrate it to your daily lives at least everyday. The problem with under-age gamblers is that they are very fragile and sensitive when it comes to their influences. At a very young age, they should be focusing on their career paths/goals and gambling is one of those potentially destructive activity that can hinder them from achieving their goal due to its nature.

There is a reason on why gambling is only allowed 18+ or the age of majority in our respective countries as this is considered the age of full discretion. If under-age gamblers become victim of this activity, then their welfare is definitely in danger of being hindered detrimentally.

Many gambling places do not actually have licenses and they gamble without following the regulations of the authorities so that some violations are eliminated, I am very concerned to see the younger generation being allowed to gamble because they have provided gambling places, but underage gambling must be reported immediately because the casino have violated the rules regarding underage gambling participants, are not allowed to gamble and are not even allowed to join real gambling and online gambling.

Some gambling platforms use certain KYC processes to avoid this thing, that is about under age gamblers. As we know that kids nowadays are really skillful in some games. But in gambling, this is different. We are not only dealing with the games that we have the skill in, but also our emotions, management to control our desire for gambling, our risk management, and many more again. And I ma sure that most kids don't have the requirement very well. they may be able to play for gambling, but how they are able to make it well-controlled and conform to their willingness.

It's really disgusting to see that, you can report that to authorities here in our place operators never do that because they will get their license revoked and our government ordered a mandatory placing a visible notice that underage are not allowed to place bets, if the youth donot see a sign like that he'll think that he can bet.

I read a few years ago in an article about the effect of gambling among underage bettors, and finally I found it again.

Kenyan, Nigerian governments addressing rampant youth sports gambling
In spite of the laws regulating gambling in Nigeria, that's the minimum legal age to be able to gamble in Nigeria is 18 years, only on paper the fact is that there is still a lot of illegal gambling without age restrictions.

The regulatory system and the implementing body never perform their job well. They are the ones to be blamed in the first place, not these young age gamblers because they can't be there if the restrictions are working. But never I see the care in this situation and even the parent just let their kids be involved in this place. They are not just allowing it but they teach their kids how to break the law and even push them to become addicted to gambling.

- the bad effect is that this could lead these young ages to commit criminalities/illegalities when they become heavily addicted to gambling.

It may look odd for most but it's really happening, and I've been introduced to gambling when I was younger and also under aged. I think the effect of it would last long until that young person grows up. He'll get to have many ideas in gambling and it's on him whether he's going to continue it or not. But as someone who's been introduced to it on a younger age, I wouldn't allow the younger ones that I know introduced on it, it will be a terrible idea and I don't know how they can bring themselves in and out on it.

Children is not allowed to be expose where gambling is taking placbe for the first time, i blame everyone who have a child that is interested in gamblling, sometimes children who goes into gambling does not have any attention of doing it, but they got the concept from their parents or the environment they found theirs self, so i believe that gambling is something we emulate from people around us, because children might have seen people gambling before developing interest.

Unfortunately, the internet is the place where underage find gambling and there are kids that already use the internet at a very young age, especially in times of pandemic where the learning institutions opted to distance learning through the internet, we adults should monitor our kid's activities online see to it that we check what they are surfing and monitor their surfing history.
Besides adults not gambling in front of our children monitoring their internet activity is also a must.
We are going to ruin our children's future if we let our children be exposed to gambling, early intervention is a must for a child to have a bright future.

That's why i made a point of parents contributing sixty percent of their children be addicted in gamblling, from tender age a child is being exposed in the internet, why won't them know what os gamblling, because it's the narrative you give your children will determine if children will directly understand the meaning of gambling and exactly the advantages and disadvantages of gambling from the way i understand it. I believe gamble have two different ways which children can copy and gamble, either hearing from the parents or knowing through internet, which a parents can restrict it, if the kids at home is well monitored.

if they bet just for fun, I don't think it will affect his future.

On the contrary, a child that is aware of gambling at an early age may grow up to be an addicted gambler because the child may be gambling for fun. After all, he or she is not financially stable at the moment because of his age but when he or she is of age he may decide to try out what he's been doing from an early age with funds by so doing the then child has grown up to become an addicted gambler. In order not to risk the child's future, I won't encourage anyone to allow his child to know or get used to gambling be it for fun or anything.

since childhood I like to gamble with my friends using dominoes to bet my pocket money, lose and win we still enjoy the results together because the thoughts of children always sharing with friends is good, but that has not made me a gambling addict until now, I gamble on soccer betting even then once every week in the big leagues, not every day to gamble

Much has been said and written about the KYC, but in the end it is beneficial to apply it to prevent minors from starting gambling. When you talk about crypto, there are still some platforms that don't use it. In theory, a minor could also play on that, although I don't know off the top of my head which gambling sites allow gambling without performing a certain KYC. Yet you don't hear much about gambling among minors. After all, what minor has a significant budget for gambling?
