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

Under-aged gambling and under-aged drinking addictions are the most terrible addictions that can any person can pick up at a very young age. Sadly, as much as the government and its agencies are trying to checkmate this the onus lies on us as adults to take responsibly for looking out for under-aged gamblers and cautioning them where necessary, telling them about the dangers involved. Most under aged gamblers do not come from a stable home. We should take care to help them out were we can.

Well, it's hard to catch a minor today, because gambling today can be accessed online. Unlike before the internet, the government can impose a law regarding this and will most definitely going to sanction the casino by letting them pay for their violations. And, Yeah, it is our responsibility as parents to watch out for our children nowadays on what specific stuff they're doing online
But children could be clever too. So, it's really hard to catch them red handed.

Yep it's true, Casino's are hardly identifying the age of their customers unless the gamblers will be subjected to KYC which will most likely will caught the minor. Payment methods is also one way of detecting if a minor is depositing, It depends on the payment method but yeah if it's crypto, I'm pretty sure it's unlikely that they the casino will end up identifying it's an underage gambler. I believe that it is one of the government concerns about online gambling, which is making minors accessed their casino. Normally, Casino will put a banner that no underage is allowed to play on that certain casino but of course the minor will easily snob that. As you said, Children could be clever.

It is very concerning when minors are involved in gambling, because minors do not have the concept of money or finances, and real word problems. And I think getting addicted to things is much easier than adults and should be given help ASAP, especially parents who are very involved with this.
and it is very dangerous to allow someone so young, naive, and inexperienced to gamble, especially with other people's money.
parents have to be really sensitive to this, especially in this day and age where it's easy to search the internet for anything that isn't appropriate for minors. And this convenience needs to be fully mastered by parents and provide knowledge about things that are not good, and can damage the mind and limit the use of gadgets and also control them regularly including their activities.

it depends on how the child's way of life is from their environment or association, even though in my place there are also many small children betting on a children's game whether it's betting money or just food, if they continue to instill it it might affect their future but if they bet just for fun, I don't think it will affect his future,

does not affect the future? How can you be so sure, I have seen many children whose school life was ruined because of gambling even though some children managed to control themselves from gambling too, but the majority of underage gamblers will end up having a ruined school life.

Quote from: bitcampaign on December 02, 2022, 06:02:30 PM

but it could be that the child you saw didn't really place a bet for him, maybe his parents told him to place a bet

there are also many cases that happen like this, some irresponsible parents force their children to place bets because they are playing there or they deliberately make their children shields because they are afraid the forest will be billed or something like that. I feel sad for the children whose childhood was exploited by people like that.

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.

Question is, betshop illegal or legal? because if they are allowing underage to bet on their shop then it might be just fly by night betshop in our country? I'm just curious. Because for sure if gambling is allow in your country it could be with some legal restrictions like 18 and up?

It will have a effect since they are still underage, and it's possible that they will be addicted, I mean we have been in this situation before. Regardless of the outcome of our bet, whether winning or losing, we will always comeback to feel that experience in our body.

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.

I don't give it an acceptable idea having children underaged into gambling, that's somewhat ridiculous and i can do all it takes to stop such abuse if seen any around me, why is because they are yet matured enough to decern the good frombthe bad and through the freedom of openness to gambling, they can attract bad friends or character beyond the control of their parents orbthe society at large and it may also engenders them to stealing money to gamble with since they aren't matured enough to know how to earn money or safe it for a better life.

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.

But what evidence do you have that it is the boy that gambled? What if it is his brother that gave him the booking code and called the cashier that his brother his coming to give him the booking code? Are you sure it is the boy that bet or another person that bet and gave the boy the booking code?

You have a point there because there are instances where parents also send their underage children on such errands. It is bad and irresponsible parenting and shame should be on parents like that. Minors are supposed to be protected from things that can cause addiction, and gambling is one of such. It is same like father warning his children against wayward life but turn around to bring in different women to the house who are not related to them by blood.

minors don't know anything about life, they have many dreams and illusions, now you imagine that a minor wants a car, but doesn't have much money to buy a car, so he sees a gambling site, where he bets 10$ and he can win 30$, he will start thinking about a lot of things like betting a lot to win a lot of money and buy a car, he won't think about losing, when he starts to lose, then he will borrow money and continue playing, when he loses again he will steal money to continue playing and become addicted, gambling spoils minors

For the long-term effect, it could be the start of bad spending habits, those who gamble are all up for the thrill of winning and care less about money. Another thing, those who become addicted to gambling don't bother about priorities, at a young age they sometimes cut classes to gamble, steal money from their parents and forget about school and academics which could affect their future as well. Proper guidance is needed for under-age since this is the phase where they are curious about anything and would explore everything.

Nothing lasts forever

Underage gambling should be avoided at all cost. If someone who is underage is found to gamble it becomes our responsibility to make him understand quit gambling until at least he is 18 years of age.
It is also parent's responsibility to make sure their children are involved in these activities.
The motive behind stopping underage gambling is because sometimes teens don't understand the value of money.
They gamble with the money they didn't even earn and this makes them decrease their value on money.
Another big danger is if they get addicted to gambling then we can't even imagine the consequences of an underage person getting addicted to gambling.

It is very bad for a teen of that age to involve in Gambling. In normal circumstance, the sight effect is very bad in nature. At that age the teen is not strong enough in heart to defend the bad influence temptations that will follow such act. Some of the sight effect follows:
1. Arm robbery
2. Stealing
3. Cultist
4. Fighting etc. And other deviate behaviors in the society.

But in the third world Nations, specifically Nigeria. Since the government can't help matters, the citizens do anything to survive so nobody question what he or she does for a living. What is very bad in the society is a lucrative business in Nigeria. And government and it law enforcement agencies can't do anything because in most cases they are part and parcel of the act. The law enforcement agencies in Nigeria are even worst than the ordinary civilians.

The parents should also play accountable if he's getting the funds from them. They should monitor the allowances and money that they're giving their child and also, self-control and self-discipline should be taught at home so I guess the child's parent's have missed teaching that important thing to their kid.
An underage child can't still make firm decisions so he should always be guided and as much as possible, educate him to get rid of anything that can ruin his life in the future.

- It's okay what you mentioned mate, it's a good reminder for parents to be honest. That's the only problem we have here that I see, even if the parents do it if their child is surrounded by friends who like gambling, even if their child doesn't like it at first, their child may eventually get used to it.

And when this thing happens, it will become a habit at the beginning which can lead to an addiction to gambling regardless of their age.

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.

If gambling there isn't regulated, the best thing that they can do is to control themselves to not play gambling if they feel that they are becoming an addict already. They shouldn't put the blame on the government. There's even countries where gambling is ban and heavily regulated and people there wishes to cut it out so that they can play gambling.

Their parents can also help them as long as they confess this issue to them. Gambling at a very young age can cause a side/bad effect as long as not controlled and they can be the following: the children can't study properly and it can gave them a bad grade or they won't go to school at all. They can also learn on how to steal money. These are only a few but there might be more than this.

It really has a huge impact on a child's mental development and growth and might also result in gambling addiction. They have their own reasons why they gamble either because of peer influence or having the hope of taking home a huge reward for their family. Whatever the reasons are, the authorities might still take action on this. They focus on the welfare of the younger generation.

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.

How did the kid get some funds to bet?
This will always be the case of whether he can sustain his habit because if he has no job, it will just be a one-time bet, and after that, it's over.

There is a good and bad effect on the kid. I'd prefer to look at the good after all he is still a kid and can turn his life around when he hit rock bottom because of his gambling activity. Starting old and addicted to gambling while a person is 40+ I think will struggle more to overcome the addiction than a kid.

The parents should also play accountable if he's getting the funds from them. They should monitor the allowances and money that they're giving their child and also, self-control and self-discipline should be taught at home so I guess the child's parent's have missed teaching that important thing to their kid.

Was the boy also betting or was he only asked to give the booking code to the cashier? Here in my place, little boys are normally asked to do things which are otherwise be illegal for minors in some countries. Children are usually asked by parents to place their bet in a lottery. They're even asked to buy cigarettes, alcoholic drinks, and others that are usually not sold to minors. So, I was thinking this might also be the same thing that's happening in your place.

To be honest, though, minors here are also gambling, in many ways. It's already being tolerated by many families especially in poor communities.
