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
children don't have a mature mind and don't work yet so they don't have a steady income and they will do reckless things if they don't have money

Gambling always becomes an addiction and a big problem for everyone who cannot control their willingness and emotions on gambling. This happens for everyone, not only kids but also adults. But, we can't deny that most kids will not be able to control their emotion very well on gambling, cannot analyze which one must be, and probably cannot control their willingness to stop gambling even after losing much.
Although we know that each country has different age restirctions about kids doing gambling. Like what I ever created topic here:
Age restriction in gambling
But, generally, kids have weakness on gambling. I know that some kids may be good enough in gambling, even they are able to control themselves and can earn much money. But, I am sure enough that most of them cannot do that.

And am just curious if this won't affect the person in times to come
If the kids have started to be gamblers at young ages, this becomes an addiction, and this doesn't get enough attention and treatment, I am sure that this will really give an impact on the future. Gambling addiction can be continuous and worse enough for them as long as they are not able to control and manage it. And, of course, it this isvery difficult to overcome if this has been addicted.

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.
This is what happen if a country doesn't have any strict law towards gambling since gambling companies or agents will not care about if the one placing their bets on them are minors. If government will just have strong gambling regulation and put penalties on letting minor to bet for sure those establishments will no let young guys spend their money there.
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.

I think the main takeaway from underage gambling is that the young mind is not fully developed yet and picking up these activities could create abnormal behavior if done too early. Younger people might not be able to properly control their emotions, realize that an addiction is building or even how to get out of such an addiction after it formed. It can also have a stunting effect as as it distracts from more wholesome pursuits around that age
Its easier to form bad habits at an early age so its a dangerous path for someone young to take. Its also possible they could be ok also though thats controversial to say and in any case its illegal to allow such gambling and should be avoided in all cases. If nothing else someone young doesn't have proper cashflow or likely good regular income so its not a smart idea to be spending money you don't have.
The biggest point that has to be made on a thread with this subject is the propagation of gambling via in mainstream game transactions and micro buying within 'childrens' games (obviously all age groups play games). Its a grey area but as I've seen it up close alot I would classify it as gambling, it can result in a problem habit imo its basically exploitative by the companies vs a very young audience. I think that's by far the biggest most widespread issue rather then access to casinos specifically.

In an open country, children are exposed to gambling, and with the advent of the internet and lack of regulation children learn from gambling from what they see online and offline, and it's not good in fact every year and in many countries, children learn gambling by discovering it on their own, this is alarming gambling in an early age is a corruption of the mind they learn that you can get money by chance without working for it, this is something many countries are facing a responsible government and a strong value are the only ones that can stop underage gambling, so if you see many children betting in your country that could only mean the two institutions failed to check and protect their young ones.
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, 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

It won't affect the person as long as this person was not become so addict with it. I have ever gambled when myself was still under the legal age but to be honest i was only doing it once or two times and that's related with football. The problem is always be on the young guy will not have ability to control his emotion. I did know that if i would do that for so long and that might make me become addicted with it and i just preventing myself to did it even further. The main concern about restricting the under age gamblers are related with emotional by the gamblers. Remember that if young gamblers didn't have active income and they may stole from their family to be used for gambling and this is the bad thing that being prevented by implemented underage gambling has not allowed to play.
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.

^As I see, there is no tight regulation in your country because even an underage boy can place a bet in a gambling casino.~snip~
Here in my country, the lottery is very common but youngsters cannot buy tickets if he/she is under 18 years old. It is strictly prohibited here. So I don't know how is the law being applied in your country, it is probably a common practice there.
As parenthood, we should not ask our kids to do this if they are underage because the chances of being a gambling addict are very close.

Underaged gamblers are not emotionally matured, hence they are highly prone to gambling addiction. They might not be able to control the drive to gamble which might really have a negative affect on them. Most of them are not working, which means that the money they use in gambling was given to them as gifts from their parents or relative. The challenge now is that most of them might go to the extent of stealing from their relatives to satisfy their gambling drive when they don't have access to funds. Gambling can also be a big distraction from their educational pursuit. Instead of focusing on their studies some of these underaged gamblers would be carried away by match results and predictions. They might even use money meant for their schooling to play gamble. By the time the become adults, they are now full blown gamble addicts that can even use their belongings to gamble.
Young people want to do many things and if their family's financial situation is not enough, they look for different solutions. They can work somewhere in their spare time, buy and sell things, these are good things. The bad part is when they start gambling for easy money. They may be lucky at first. Even if they have unlucky times, they can win after a while. They will put 1 and get 3-5-10-20 whatever. If they lose they will say next time ill win and i'll cover my losses. In this way, they can live for several years. They may make bad choices to find money. Stealing money from their families, being sellers of illegal things etc. If they are not very successful in gambling, which 97-98% will bad at it. At the end they will drown in debt. They get older, they missed many opportunity probably they wont know how to make money in real life. In this way, they will have wasted a life.
This might be seems bad scenario but I had a friend couple years ago this story based on his life. One small wrong decision can affect your whole life like a domino effect.

Gonna be hard though, and as big as the world cup, for sure there are young gamblers that are going to be addicted to it, I mean the impact of that sports to the young generation, maybe those have ambitions too to become a footballer or even go the world cup in the future.
But as I have said, hard to stop once you get yourself involved at a young age, 14-15 are prone to this kind of addiction. It's their parents that should control this kids and really emphasized what gambling addiction could lead them in the future.

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.
