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


I think I read somewhere that people under the age of 18 still have an underdeveloped brain. So, could gambling underage affect them more? Likely yes, but even young people can be responsible. I'm not saying to send your kids out to gamble, but if the child was raised right they may gamble responsibly. That's obviously not a guarantee.

Ideal gamblers should be mature people, under-age gamblers can't handle their emotions and have no ability to make proper decisions during playing gambling. Under-age gamblers also don't understand how to manage their money, they even still use their parents' money for gambling. Since they don't use their own money, they may not realize to limit money in gambling. They only focus on playing gambling, they don't realize the impacts. These are the reasons why under-age gamblers should be not involved in gambling. Under-age gamblers will gamble in a careless way, which possibly leads to bad habits and impacts negatively on their mentality.


I really agree with your review because children who are underage should not be involved in any gambling, because there will be a very big risk for their future growth, let alone children who are underage even adults who already have a lot of experience and being able to control themselves and being able to earn their own income may not necessarily be able to control gambling, minors still need parental guidance and must remain focused on pursuing their education not focusing on gambling.

Some underage are already exposed in gambling even if it's not in casino. Even myself is exposed in gambling when I was young but I have control and also my parents that time always give me advice that if you don't control yourself in gambling while it is still early then you won't get addicted. As we know that once being addicted to gambling then it will be very hard to get out of it without help. Even somr gambling addicts that got help from someone they know like family takes time.
Not only with gambling, in all means the underage and young ones are exposed to various activities. The major reason I see is the technology advancement. It is quite early for them to understand and at this age this is how they'll do things. In the past to see a porn, it is quite risky and used to buy magazines. Now it is in the palm, with cent percent privacy. So, we can't blame the underage for which we need to teach them the good about technology and make them follow the path.

Why is your "network" always so bad. Anyway, if there aren't strict laws and your government doesn't care much about who is gambling, there isn't much you can do to be honest. At best you can do is make everyone aware of the situation, get their parents to know how kids around you are getting involved in gambling, and tell them to take some steps to create awareness among their kids.
Similar case to this: How can this gambling related issue be handled?

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?

Underage gambling is common in some countries, if it is like that, it would worth your attention if your relative or brother happens to be an underage and gambling, then you can refer to what people posted on the thread that I provided the link above.

The issue of underage gambling can only perfectly be solved by the gambling regulatory body in your country.
Still isn't right. You shouldn't send your underaged brother to do this kind of stuffs. The cashier shouldn't accept anything from that kid.

I seem to have read something like this topic here in the forum, but it was a little different because from what I read, the brother complained to the owner of the gambling house that minor children were allowed to gamble.

This is the same as the casinos allow minors to gamble as well. As gamblers, we know that gambling does not discriminate against any age unless gambling establishments have a policy that only 18yrs and above can enter their gambling establishments.

We can't help it. If that can happen in real life what more in the online casino and sports betting sites? One solution is the KYC but many people misunderstand it and some gambling sites use this as an advantage too to filter out underage players, avoid money laundering and sometimes they use it to avoid paying the players. I think as an adults we should also do about it like giving advice and guiding youngsters.

I was just curious, in the betshop in your country do they just accept bets without asking ID if they find that the player looks underage? I think you can file legal complaints about that.

I don't know where the OP is from, but I'd say he probably doesn't live in an industrialised country. Without denying that there may be exceptions, nowadays it is very difficult for an underage gambler to gamble. Most young people gamble online, and there they have to go through a KYC process beforehand, in addition to the fact that physical gambling sites ask for ID at the entrance.

There might be exceptions in some land based gambling sites, just as if somehow the underage can get cryptocurrencies they could get into casinos without KYC, but the percentage must be tiny.

Not only that, but where do you think this under age, kids will get their money?

Right, it's either from their parents, and for sure no parent will give their kids money just to gamble, or from some activities that could be illegal, easy money for them to gamble. That's why as a parent, it's very very important to us to at least see our kids and talk to them and know what is going on with them. Kids nowadays are very different from our generation, they have their own decision at a early age and think that they can do anything they want. We have to stop them before it's too late.

Gambling and alcohol are generally declared as banned for kids and all major sites maintain this but now even younger kids are gambling using some illegal methods like a 14-15 year old youth using a fake age to gamble and  continues. But in this case, the guardians have to be careful and always monitor the activities of their children so that it may be possible to free them from them. Otherwise they will continue to do these illegal activities and their future will be dark

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

I live in a country where gambling is prohibited, so I don't see something like this happening in my day-to-day life, but I am surprised by your report to know that it is possible to see minors gambling freely even in the real world.
I swore this was something restricted only to paosta sites where it would be possible to circumvent age restrictions with some ease.

One of the main aggravating factors for this problem is the unbridled advertising that invades all spaces in less developed countries. I see that the most effective way to prevent this is for parents, teachers and institutions to take measures to prevent Ludomania in children.

Yes, I had to do a little research on this.... ludomania is a term that even I didn't know, it's the gambling addiction disorder, it's what makes people give absolute priority to games in their lives. Something that already affects many adults and that in children has a much more devastating emotional damage.

The reasons why gambling is not good for under age people they are still at the age making good decisions will be difficult for them. Under age gambler may decide to use all the money he/she has to play gambling because the money was gotten through the hardworking of the parents. An adult thinks in the right state and regulate the manner which gambling is supposed to be played  because they understand the side effects of playing uncontrollable.

It’s still not allowed for a minor handle the bet slip even if the owner is not him. The legal age brother should be the one who’s placing bets instead of his brother. This is same with the liquor law for underage in some country. You can’t buy it from the store unless grown up buy it for you. The cashier should know the law when it comes to this sensitive matter.

The country of the OP didn’t stated and we don’t have any idea if they have the law protecting the child against gambling but in country like mine a minor won’t allowed to place a bet even if it’s for someone on legal age.

Probably has been discussed to oblivion, but my point would be that they're free to interact with gambling at a young age, but not like this. Should be under the supervision of an adult, and even if they were asked to give the bet slip by their parents, or someone old, it should never be a kid who does it. Letting them know what gambling is, and letting them gamble are two different things. Idk if the laws are lax or if it's just allowed, but if it's written in black and white about underage ones, pretty sure you can file a complaint or something.

Not necessarily surprised younger people know more about gambling compared to back then. Just goes to show how the internet can easily teach someone about something imo.

Your government and regulator are the wrong in this case, but since you're not a police or someone that has a right to take such kind problem, you have no choice, just close your eyes and think like it doesn't happen.

Underage gamblers are dangerous because they don't have a good emotional and self control, when gambling is a habit for them, it will be very hard to stop. If your country are open for free speech, I think you can report about that case and talk to the police.

Other countries have restrictions for kids to gamble for a good reason.
Their brains aren't developed enough for being responsible for most decisions, especially for any financial decisions involving addictive games. Those are hard for some adults too mut they are at least legally responsible for their actions.
And due to that lack of development kids are more likely to develop gambling problems in their adulthood if they gamble at such an early age, after all it is know that the part of your brain that regulates your impulses is still very undeveloped when you are young, so letting kids and even young people gamble is simply a terrible idea, however it is getting more and more difficult to protect them as now they have access to thousands of casinos around the world thanks to their phones.

It can likely affect the person at a young age since it reminded me of an article that was shared here in this section. The topic was about how her gambling issue got worse but the unfortunate part is that it all started because she was exposed at an early age by her parents. Also, I'm surprised that gambling is allowed in your place at a very young age because here in our country the security is too strict where they really have to confirm your age with an ID before they'd let you through.

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.

It's been clear as the sky that in your place, the gambling law is not enforced strictly that's why underage can still enter gambling establishments. Since they are customers, these operators won't mind if they are underage since I'm sure in the first place, there's no required verification that is needed upon entering that casino.

Will you just wait for these gambling operators to now become strict when it comes to prohibiting minors at casinos?

Why not consider doing directly the best solution which is right at the home? Parents or guardians should be responsible enough to know their minor's activity.
