Topic: What age bracket is perfect for gambling - page 8. (Read 2859 times)
The gambler should be an adult at least to gamble as it will be legal for them to do that. If we talk about age bracket, I think it should be between 18-60 as when it is about kids, we as parents should never let them involve themselves in these kind of activities.
I will still love to know if there could be a strategy in which we can use in helping the younger generations to avoid gambling until they are mature in all aspect so as to curb excessive mismanagement of funds appropriated for very important purpose
I still believe this job is solely for the parent; it's the parents job to monitor what their child(ren) do on the day he Internet.
The government and most gambling companies do indicate that age range vividly on their site, but kids don't pay attention to this things.
If parents can reduce giving their kids mobile device at tender age and encourage them to find true happiness in offline activities.
Maybe the parents need to stay away from their children from mobile phones and ask them to play in real activity outdoors to distract their minds and become addicted to the mobile phones.
Easy to say but sometimes it's not the actual situation in reality. Different families live in different environments so there will be a time that parents can't follow what their kids are doing. There are families that live in a place where gambling is just around the corner so how come they can't prevent their kids to do gambling.
I would say, they just have to trust their kids approach towards gambling. If these parents badly want to educate their kids, then they can do some discussions, either during lunch, dinner or include it in their normal conversation. Now up to their children if they will obey or follow their parents.
~snip~ So I think it's fine to experience it by kids, however for me the perfect age when you take gambling seriously is when the time you're disciplined enough to manage your money.
No, kids should stay away from gambling, and a person should only take the experience of gambling while he/she is mature enough in mentally. Cause youngsters may take wrong steps by being curious and loss valuable money. A person should start gambling at the age while he realize the importance and the real value of money. Your case was different and there wasn't any big risk involved.Until that kids grow up, they should not know how to gamble and give them time to enjoy their ages by playing many games and having fun without using gamble. The youngsters now become smart and capable of using a smartphone easily, and they can browse many websites, including gambling websites. Maybe the parents need to stay away from their children from mobile phones and ask them to play in real activity outdoors to distract their minds and become addicted to the mobile phones.
Parenting does really have a great role on raising up your children on a right way even though it might not be perfect or can be check out from time to time but making them
aware on what are the implications of dealing with gambling on young mind could really affect and once they would be aware then they are at least
having the idea once they do encounter it which means even if youre arent watching then they do know about it.

~~~~, so for instance young adults between the range of ten to eighteen (10-18) years are not suppose to partake in gambling because it can lead them to steal another person finance when the money is not available and if they are addicted to it, most especially when lose is bigger than their profit.
That's quite ridiculous becasue the age bracket that the world allow for gambling starts from +18. Kindly have a glimpse of some infor here: Gambling Age according to countries this will help you understand that accepted age is +18 and very few countries denied citizens as they accepted +21. Here in the country at the age of +18 we're already independent, then what else do you want from an independent individual with his or her own cash to spend?.Wikipedia, eh, there's a comment in this thread that says, there's a country who allows as early as 7 years of age to gamble. Therefore, his statement is valid

Remember way back in 2016, when a teenager killed himself because he lost a lot of money? They thought, that is the end of their life. I guess, this is also true to some adults who incurred heavy debts owed to gambling, and they don't know how to pay their debts. But with kids, the impact is much more dangerous as they don't know how to handle problems like this. It is like the endgame for them.

tbh, I strongly advise to who ever or has the power to set a rules and regulation that not only they will based on the age but as well as the capability of the individual to pay. Per, observation as long your 18 or you look like adult they let you play. But I would say 25 y/o and above I guess by that time you are earning your own money without asking for your parents or any relatives for monetary assistance.
That should be what the governments or these gambling platforms should lay more emphasis on becasue those without the earnings shouldn't be allow to gamble and if they should it must be question. There are those who don't earn anything in their life but will like to always visit the gambling centers to carryout criminal acts, IMO, those with the means should be open for gambling platforms only. 
I'm one of those people who started gambling on a young age without knowing that I do such thing. At a young age me, together with my friends are playing games in which there are stakes like marbles... I consider it as early gambling nowadays, there are times that some money are being staked when we are playing, but it's rare. It did not affected me negatively. So I think it's fine to experience it by kids, however for me the perfect age when you take gambling seriously is when the time you're disciplined enough to manage your money.
I would not show him any type of gambling untili I think he is ready to be a man himself. I think 18 is the age one can gamble, but of course there are simple games that teens play that is also a form of gambling in some sort. But the card games, poker, and all others, should only happen around the time he is of legal age. As a father of course I will not show him these games until he is ready to learn and be able to understand the responsibility that one has to endure because of gambling.

The government can make regulations for people below 25 years old, but we know that they can easily visit any online gambling site and play anytime they want. That can increase the number of people who gamble in one country, especially if they can access the internet easily. 25 years old will be good for them to gamble, especially if they have an income and not asking money from their parents. They can manage their own money without a problem, so I think they will not spend too much money if they gamble.
Welp, that greatly depends on the parenting you received. Even the "best parenting" can still get you into some form of gambling. Carnival games for example, that offers rewards like stuffed toys and money in exchange for your dollars or nickels, arcade games that involves you spending money for tickets which you can then exchange for rewards, the list goes on. So if you'll ask me, I'd say 20-21 years old is the legal and the best age, but uncontrolled and barely legal gambling like the ones I stated above.
I think it is unacceptable to allow a child to gamble. Obviously, younger people are more susceptible to addiction. How to prevent it?
Well, the first thing to consider is that children take many things from their parents and environment. So a good idea would be to ensure that the child lives in a proper atmosphere and isn't surrounded by gamblers. Another thing, if the child already started gambling and spends his/her allowance on this the solution is quite simple - cut off the allowance and take control over the money. And, probably, take the child to shrink to help him/her cope with this problem.
Defining the age at which someone is allowed to gamble is a much harder thing, on the other hand. I think ideally the restriction must be based on emotional stability, psychiatric record, possible predispositions, and weaknesses rather than on age. Because, like you said, different people become mature at different ages. But I can't imagine how could these restrictions and emotional state assessment be actually implemented.

Well, in my opinion here, age does not matter at all --there is no perfect age bracket and you can gamble as long as you are at the right age and you can afford a budget for gambling, that would definitely have fun. I realized this when I am at the right age and above 18 but I don't have enough money to gamble and my monthly income is enough for my family as a budget for the whole month and there is no extra amount for gambling. We should always secure first the budget money of our family before we gamble. So the age bracket also depends on the player's pocket.
Has anyone thought about if Gambling should be only for adults (range @ the minimum of 35)? Will it be good for the economy as well as to every individual and family? I'm 26 and started Gambling with Poker at the age of 16 😅
So basically if you ask me this,I'd rather have this option only for adults also only for money LOL.

It is difficult to say when to start gambling.
The circumstances in many cryptocasinos make it easy for people who are not yet of age to play there.
It's a dichotomy because on the one hand you can appreciate it when there are casinos where you can play anonymously without revealing your whole identity.
The downside, however, is that it's hard to check if the player is old enough to gamble at all.

That should be the right age that allows to play and gamble not just 18 above. And another, if you don't have a source of income you will not let in on that gambling house gamble, in this way, we will lessen those gamblers that did not have work but they keep gamble and possible there could be a reduction of gambling addicts.As I heard, the right age bracket for the perfect in gambling is in the age of senior citizen, because they have a monthly allowance plus they don't have work that makes their life busy and also they don't get bored.
I'd say gambling 18-21 is a good minimum age limit for preventing gamblers getting hooked too young. Underdeveloped minds are very susceptible to getting hooked on addictive behaviors and have less knowledge of the traps they are falling in. People of that age are much more likely to chase losses and have a poor understanding of the mathematical odds working against them in many situations. It should also be much more important for schools to teach proper financial education (mortgages, debt, credit cards, compound interest,etc.), rather than just try to teach kids about basic arithmetic. There is nothing wrong with gambling if it is done for fun and entertainment, however trying to make money consistently is often impossible in most casino games.
