If any hobby (in this case, gambling) does not harm you financially, then any degree of involvement in it, including fanaticism, is normal. Someone spends all their time on computer games, someone on table tennis - if they live happily at the same time, this is normal. And the older I get, the more I believe that any activity that tickles your nerves and brings back the taste for life is good  Smiley
It does not matter if the hobby is in gambling while our finances are still safe so for me it is appropriate, meaning that we can still overcome addictions even though we often play as a hobby.
For now, after the pandemic 1 year, we have been at home often, of course, our daily lives are definitely in front of the computer to spend time, it is not impossible in the future they can also play gambling but not often but can be used as fun when finances are normal .

Gambling at a very young age is very bad and it's never accepted by every society at large. In my country, before you think of gambling you must be above 18years. Anything less than the age is a big No and it won't be allowed.
How dare a kid to partake in gambling when his elders are there already. He dare not to avoid shouting or beating upon
There's a country that has a very young age for giving consent to their children to be open in gambling. In Malawi, this article[1], says that age 5 and above are considered legal to gamble.

I regard gambling as entertainment, therefore, I think that mature age is optimal for this activity. If you are young, then, firstly, you have much more cheaper ways to tickle your nerves, and secondly, gambling is dangerous because it can cause addiction, so it is better to avoid it when you are young.
Even you are already old and engage with gambling, you do still have the same odds on getting addicted.It does matter on how someone would handle out the risk
and been aware on how he'd been doing.

Its non deniable that  young minds cant able to handle up themselves and due to curiosity you would really be testing out things neither those are bad or not.

Everything which you do dealt up too much will always have some negative effects.Gambling isnt bad but when you do play too much or spend up much
and thats where problem begins.

I have the same thoughts as you, it is better to gamble only for entertainment and do not make gambling a source of income. Young people
are more at risk of becoming gambling addiction than the mature age, because young people cannot control their unstable emotions. Therefore,
usually every country has its own rules at what age it is permissible to play gambling,  it is in order to prevent young people from becoming
addicted to gambling. Because it is better if gambling at a young age is avoided first for the good of the child himself.

Obviously you must be an adult & of legal age in your country. Other than that age doesn’t really matter, you must gamble responsibly & be of legal ate. That’s about it really in my opinion.

It really depends on the kind of education that you receive, I remember that my father taught me about gambling games at an early age, he did it not because he wanted me to gamble but it was a lesson on probabilities, that is how I learned very early on that gambling as a way to make money was simply not going to happen for almost anyone because the probabilities are on the long term against you.
You have a really progressive parents then, I mean if I was to ask my parents about that thing, I would probably get myself beaten to a pulp. To me though, I would say that gambling should be allowed on the age where the individual can decide for themselves and have the ability to accept responsibility, it will be difficult to determine by age since people mature differently, maybe sticking to 18 will be enough.
I have never thought about it but I think you may have a point, however when it comes to the right age for people to gamble most countries accept this to be the moment you are thought to reach adulthood, but as we know people have different maturity rates,  I have met persons that were 15 years old which were very mature and I have met people that were 35 years old that were very immature so age alone is not a perfect metric but it is the best that we have at the moment.
My father never teach me about probabilities at my early age because I'm the one who discovered about it and at an early age, I found out that it's really hard to win in gambling especially if you'll take it as your way to earn some profit. The only thing my father said to me is to value money because it's really hard to earn money and yes, I understand all of that so I'm away from gambling and just focusing on other recreational activities. So I guess, I'm pretty lucky to have him because he taught me more about money even though he doesn't know about the probabilities and the mathematical explanation on gambling.

In my own, the best bracket for gambling are young adults. These are the set of people who has a lot of dreams and wants to achieve in a way of making shortcuts. They are very impulsive and have more to lose since most of them are not yet responsible (some still live with their parents). In short word, they still afford to lose and hope to win. Money for them is sets of credits to play some stuff. And of course! The golden thing, “Legal”

Such people mostly lost everything and also doing impulsive things (like robbering for needed amount of money to gamble). Yeah, if you cold-hearted (like me) in terms of gambling and can be master of oneself you can gamble. But as i said before, you will just spent your time for nothing.

Crypto now is good example: Rather than losing money in slots, you can invest in some lowcap coin and with a big probability get in return like x5-10. This is what I'm talking about.

^Age is a lazy metric to measure people's knowledge about gambling. It's only a legal age that says you are now responsible for your action. The perfect gambling age (for casinos), of course, as soon as it's legal. But for the betterment of society, it should go deeper than just age. For example, you need to test your gambling knowledge, get the license, and show the license if you want to enter a casino.

Young adults seem more prone because they haven't got responsibilities yet. It's similar to single, young execs. But the latter already has job responsibility (quite busy). That said, any age bracket can have gambling problems, but the older you are, you got much more to do than just playing games.

That is the point of the question being held, what is the perfect age for gambling, looking at the lesser evils for the problems. As you said, no matter what age bracket, there will be a problem, but we are looking for right now is the age bracket with less problems and less issues in regards to gambling.

You said that young adults haven't got responsibilities yet, which I approve so they are probably not the best age for gambling, so I guess that beyond being young adult, where there is already responsibilities, yet they're still very eager and somehow younng.

Kids do not know how things work yet, their money is from their parents as well. So letting kids go and play gambling is like ruining their families financially. Never ever decide to do it.

Why it's necessary to touch the financial matter, gambling does not really take all your finances if you are discipline with it, a kid that is gambling and their parents know it is better than parents not knowing their kids are gambling. At least they can guide their kids on the right way to gamble,.. I know in some countries is bad but there are some countries who tolerate this and I think it's not really a big problem at all since gambling is already part of our daily lives.
I guess it means prone to addiction and it will never stop from gambling until all funds and poverty will lose.

As mentioned above, I couldn’t agree more that young adults are the best brackets that produce fortune to gambling platforms. I can attest as one of them (within the same bracket) as I personally have been identified as impulsive before and I will admit it.

The bad thing about being a young adult is that you will always think that there’s always away and there is a lot of options. You will be flooded by things that will make you careless. But when bad luck hits you, you’re dead.

Teenagers can also be considered if they wish. Like this isn’t new at all. There’s a lot of teens gambling on informal gambling platforms. They also breach the requirements by using someone’s identity. Well, that’s life right?

I think that gambling is best of all fit to old people.
^ Probably but let me explain why young adults also fit into this.

Kid gamble is somehow unacceptable, not to be tolerated and unfair. Kids do not know how things work yet, their money is from their parents as well. So letting kids go and play gambling is like ruining their families financially. Never ever decide to do it.

In any country it seems that no parent wants their child to become addicted to gambling, then the parents will be tough if they find their child
gambling. I am like you have parents who cannot be discussed with all things related to gambling, if until I dare to ask about gambling. I will have
the same fate as you, so I can't discuss all things about gambling with my parents. This is a lesson for all of us that being a parent should not be
a distance from their child. It means being a good parent, you have to explain everything to your child, including the game of gambling. So that
our children do not get this information from other people, it may be that the information provided by others is misleading.
Well, it's quite a well-known fact(maybe? Don't have any source tbh, but it is more effective than carrot and stick imo) that violence is by far the easiest way to discipline someone, especially children. Some parents just look at the short term effects of physical discipline hence they don't really look at the long-term effects of what their actions would result in (or they're just that much of a bastards who don't care about their children).

Well imho, I'd suppose the parents just want to avoid such discussions to avoid influencing you negatively. Their methods may not be the best, but I think they want the best. Not that I can say it for myself, you have your own opinion tbh so might want to try to confront them instead of bearing it all to yourself.

In fact some parents find it effective with physical violence that will make children become disciplined. Even though sometimes this will only
traumatize children to discuss with their parents. All parents must have different methods of educating their children, whatever it is they only
want the best for their children. If I were a parent, I would prefer non-violent methods, because I think everything can be resolved without
physical violence. Even if we want to make children don't want to repeat their mistakes, it can be a little harsh by punishing them for not
watching TV or playing games. There are actually many ways to educate children to be disciplined without having to commit physical violence.

With the way you put this, I feel pity for the aged people and self pity for myself too because, I too would be old someday except for the unfortunate of us that might get to die early. But, there is a truth about what you just said sadly. It feels awkward but true. The elderly have nothing to really look out for unlike the young adults that are busy thinking of there families and future. Lots of plannings and allocation of funds. This is what old age might help you escape especially when you had grown up kids to look after you. You can have some fun times at the table and properly some heart attacks too.

This is sad, but this is real life. Old people have much more free time and much less what to do. So gambling can be their entertainment with no problem of it. Even if they need to watch for their grandchildren of something like that. And yeah, in many offline casinos many of visitors is old people (after 60 years old)

They have enough free time, they have some savings which they can lose to casino  Cheesy and of course - their life is near it's end, so they in fact doesn't exchange gambling for something more important (career, sport and so on). And of course, the opposite situation with children, with gambling they just throwing their time in the hole.
