Young age will have a difficult time deciding if they are in gambling games because some of them can not think like the adult people and get deeper into gambling without realizing it. With young blood, they can get tempted in the gambling game and spend more money because they will be curious about the gambling games. I think it is hard to talk about the perfect age to playing gambling because that will relate to how to mature someone and how they can be wise in any situation and how they can act base on the current situations.
Correct, it is a known fact that our brain does not reach full maturity until our mid-twenties, obviously some people reach a state of mental maturity earlier but the majority of people take a lot of time, this is why we see that the majority of the most important mistakes that people are going to do during their lives are going to be done at an early age, after that the rate of mistakes will go down as you reach mental maturity and you see how your previous actions were very dumb and you avoid repeating them. 
Topic: What age bracket is perfect for gambling (Read 2875 times)
I think that the age issue does not affect gambling much. There are many different forms of gambling available, a child can fully participate in gambling due to the influence of adults or not being properly taught. However, children should not be exposed to gambling because I believe it will adversely affect their future.
Age does affect a person's mentality towards gambling. If he/she was exposed very early on gambling then that will change their lives forever and will allow them to think that gambling is fine at their young age. We share the same belief that they shouldn't be introduced to gambling at a young age because there really are going to have the effects.on where you do believe that this activity would really be helpful for you to make money but once the reality would slap into your face then you will surely be realizing
that you do have those wrong thoughts but if this one will really be varying on someones awareness and mental alertness regarding on the situation.
Each person does have different take into certain things in like.
No matter what, young people need to be guided by mature people and they need to tell that do not to try to playing gambling because the risk will be too big for them. It is better not to play gambling to stay away from losing and addiction.
without proper awareness on how it do affects and how could you possibly tied up to addiction which is the most dangerous thing for someone to be hooked on.
Talking about perfect age then that would be the time on where someone does have the rightful thinking on which is right and which is wrong.
Any thing that you do tend to get involved should really be on moderation.

As far as I know the minimum legal age for gambling is 18 years and over but it all depends on the conditions applied by the gambling commission of a country and usually some countries also apply different types of gambling categories for different ages, but in this case of course age violations often occur on online gambling because usually participants will find it easier to fake their identity to be able to access the gambling site and this is why gambling platforms should apply some strict rules in accepting registration of their new members.
This is going to be incredibly difficult in this market where we know gamblers have a very strong preference to avoid casinos that force any kind of KYC on their customers, this is why no amount of measures are going to be enough to stop a kid or a young person that it is determined to gamble, it is better to deal with this the old-fashioned way and have a conversation with them and tell them why gambling at their age is not a good idea and it is something they could do only when they reach the necessary mental maturity to handle their losses.

Probably 18 which is the considered adult age in many countries and since it is a more established number then I would say that it is the right age. Some people might say that age isn't an issue but to be honest, it is a bunch of BS because your formative years is a really good time to do much more better things and those years have the habits that should be healthy rather than gambling.
Nope wrong. In many countries 18 is just start of adulthood and not totally adult.In Asian countries 18 years of Age is still living with their parents and still studying according to their parents expenses so how come that this can be considered as adult?
an adult is capable of having His own money and cans pend for Himself , but with this standard, this will end up spending their allowances for gambling in which a NO NO for me.

Well, age is not alone that we need to consider before playing gambling, there's a lot of things like financial, emotional and mental health before proceeding or claiming that a certain people could play gambling once he reach the legal age. I mean he sure can play but he should start with no bettings, like a trial account first, for him to decide whether gambling is for him or not.

The age issue can affect gambling as if a child playing gambling, they tend to play for more because they see playing gambling as a fun thing that they can do. But the problem is they will hard to control themselves, which can lead them to lose more money if no people or someone can stop them from playing gambling. We need to monitor our children and always take care of our children to not involve or try to play gambling. Maybe after they have control for themselves. 
I was allowed by My parents after graduated in secondary , means at the age of 16 ...
But for me? i will allowed my children after they find their own Job and earning Money on their own.

Trust me they will do it with or without your knowledge:)
I watched my elders gamble and then later my older cousins,,, and was old enough anyway to buy lotteries later on but nobody ever knew when I started gambling online (I am old already so not a problem but my point is that many kids can easily gamble online and nobody will find out.
This is why casinos have a responsibility to find out.

Personally speaking, I placed my first bet on a sport game when I was 14 (and I could not legally be allowed to play but the guy at the counter did not bother to ask for my ID and allowed me to people). It was such a great feeling back then: I felt I was doing something only adults are allowed to do but I would have preferred that somebody would have told me about what it really means to gamble. Good that I found it by myself soon 
Something that most of your age are longing to achieved, feeling boosted that you'll able to make your first bet and thinking that someone who are also in your age wanted to accmplished.
Good thing that until now you are still capable and not being addicted(hopefully) if you do have good self control then managing this activity ain't hard for you.
Case to case basis, some early gamblers ended up being addicted while some manage to take advantages as experienced taught them to be more responsible while playing/betting.
I don't think that the performance of a gambler depends on the age, unless he is not in good health. With age, experience increases and it comes handy at times. But younger people will have more agility. And another thing is that younger people tend to take more risk, while the same people will have lower risk taking appetite, once they move to middle ages. Now this can be either an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on the occasion. Sometimes a lower risk taking policy would save you from complete bankruptcy. Some other time, it may deny you a jackpot.
I personally think the age group around 26-50 is perfect for gambling, especially if you have a stable job and income. Which you expect from a late 20's person. The reason for it is that they do not get emotionally invested into gambling and mostly have other engagements, errands to do through the day so they do not get addicted. There are exceptions in there too, but thats what I think is probably a decent time to get into gambling. If you start off as a teen, you might learn a few tricks quickly but most of them will get heavily emotionally invested and financially too and lose focus on other things in life, trying to make a quick buck by gambling.

This is what im doing but i wont be surprised if i had missed out and they do able to access something that hadnt been blocked.With all the gambling sites existing in the market
its impossible for you to block each every one of them thats why its better for you to teach or told them about gambling and what are the cons and the risk
on dealing with it if they dont know on what they should gonna do.
Yes, that's expected. Even how we try hard, there will always be the tricks that the kids can do without our supervision. It could be from their curiosity and being resourceful because things are just a search and a click away and they'll eventually understand how to do things such as unblocking/blocking.its impossible for you to block each every one of them thats why its better for you to teach or told them about gambling and what are the cons and the risk

I am only child in my family but fortunately i am not really addicted to gambling, but not with my father. He keep gambling everyday buy lottery and never stop, it really affects to my family. With that, when i have children i will try anything to give my children education about gambling. If we forced children to stop gambling they will feel curious and then try, i think i wouldn't let them even once.
