I don't think there will ever be a refund in a case such as this because the company actually had restrictions for underage gambling and more over gambling in a young age is actually not supported and the reason would be one as follows as the particular case here, young children mild are not as strong and they easily get influenced and even addicted to such act and this is a perfect example of why there is a age boundary or limitation to gambling.

but let's just imagine that this boy won millions of dollars with his school fees, do you think he will get paid? Even if his parent knew about it there is nothing they can do to get the money out, the boy is underage is going to be the excuse anyway.


The casino can only claim the excuse of underage and further stated explicitly that winnings from underaged are not redeemable, otherwise if not stated about the ban of underage gambling from their platform in their ToS it will be difficult for them not to pay the boy. If that is not written their in the ToS, the parents will claim the winning for the boy by contacting a lawyer that will file a court action to prosecute the matter.

Whether the casino will give the winnings of the kids or not, we never know but I believe consulting a lawyer is the best action here.  It would be biased if the casino wouldn't return the lost funds of a minor when they won't let a minor collect it winnings.  More or less What Gozie51 stated may do, having the guardian or parents claim the kids prize.  But mostly the bet will be void because minor's bet is illegal and illegal bets are often voided.
There's no sense that this would really be pushed through legal matter because i dont see for those complainant would really be able to win with this case because the casino would really be having the rights or everything would really be that final considering that you had made out a bet on a platform whether you are a kid or an adult then results would really be that final and something that cant really be changed. It did really just turns out that people are really that too having those false sympathy into a kid just because he did make out such mistake on betting and the worst it is really that intended for his school fees or expenses on which it is really that impossible that you arent that aware on how gambling works or how it do operates.

Even with your young mind then it would be impossible that you wont be able to point out even using up your common sense that everything had been bet would be considered final
and results whether it would really be a win or lose then it would be always final. There's no point on fighting on something which you do know that you
dont have the rights on making out such complaint. hehe

Technically, no.

He just lost it fair and square. Unless that casino gives him a refund, it's on their decision but I don't think that they'll ever do that. Because other losers will also ask for the same thing and will reason out that it's for their medication expenses, for rent, for mortgages and what more?

That's why it's better not to give it back to the kid and need him to learn the lesson that he shouldn't gamble with the money that he doesn't own or else, this is the consequence that he deserves to learn.

If in good faith of that casino that they'll return the money, better to do it privately.

In the gambling platform, there are different stories every day across the world. This 16 years Nigerian citizen used his school fees to play bet and was planning to win big amount so he can use it to solve other problems but along the line he loss everything and he went to the contact of the company and begged them to refund the money back to him because it is his school fees. Is it possible for the company to refund the money to the boy? As for me it is not possible because the played the game and loss. And also the boy was too small to gamble because gambling is meant for mature mind because you have you to face things like and when you loss, you have to move on. And these are some the reasons why casinos always specifying that before you play gamble, you must be above 18 years plus  that is in short form 18+ and some people and sportsbooks ignore this warning and this is one off the result. Click the picture for more information.


         -   You have already answered your own question: Why would the casino refund the gambler's money if he did not break any rules? Then that is a mistake of a Nigerian. Why would he think of growing his money in gambling as if he was sure that he would win and grow the money when he was holding the money at that time?

It seems that he took stupid action here. Sorry for the term I used, because that's what he did. Yes, we are here because he has a problem. Didn't he think that gambling is a place where luck is the only reason why you win? Why did he think he was lucky the day he played? It wouldn't matter if the gambling platform itself did something really wrong.

But even though the child's parents will sue the casino because they refuse to pay the child's winnings on the grounds that they did not write down the prohibition in the ToS, it seems like it will only be in vain because the casino will usually always win when in court because the casino will also use reliable lawyers and have many money to solve the problem.
However, if the parents threaten to take action in court, it seems to depend on the law in the country whether minors can gamble and if the state law says minors are prohibited from gambling, I think the parents' efforts will be in vain.

The company is going to be happy about this one, because they have an escape, since the gambler is underage that's their new excuse not to pay up the money, this is the play of most online gambling platforms and even the offline ones, they don't just pay the money if it's a very large sum, they will take their time and see if you break any rules on the platform, I am sure that they will never pay this boy, and they reason is obviously there.

The case of this young boy is different, he doesn't win any large sum I guess and he is also underage, this will be a good lesson for him because it's not good for any underage to expose themselves into gambling, it can ruin them pretty faster, but let's just imagine that this boy won millions of dollars with his school fees, do you think he will get paid? Even if his parent knew about it there is nothing they can do to get the money out, the boy is underage is going to be the excuse anyway.

I think the boy will be in trouble with the parent because now they will have to know that their child hasn't pay up his school fees, I hope it get traced by to his gambling activities, I do hope well for this kid that's why his parents must know what he really uses the money for.

This will serve the boy lesson for him to further avoid gambling in the future.

Surely, the gambling platform will not be able to refund him as the funds has been gambled and ultimately lose. Not only did he violate the terms of the age requirement, he also lost his funds while gambling. No one can just request for a refund after you lose . Also, imagine if the boy won while gambling and was able to withdraw his winnings, will the casino be able to request the winnings back knowing that the player was underage?
Here if the boy wins the bet and goes to withdraw his winnings, the casino platform can never request a refund of his winnings. Because that is the money he won on the bet. Here the boy loses the bet and gets his due lesson. From here he may refrain from participating in betting later on. And every one might have been warned by this boy's lesson in losing bets. I think students should stay away from gambling completely. Because if a student is addicted to gambling, his whole life will be ruined. I won't blame the casino platform here for not refunding his money.

I like the attitude of the boy. I'm not referring to his gambling habit but it is when he thinks about solving is other problems. He is too young for this. Most of us want's to win in gambling for the same reason but it won't work just like that. There is a big chance that we can only lose our money and it can add up to our existing problems.

Now to the question, if he will get the money back. The answer is already in the video. The more the company won't return the money because he also break another rule there which is the age restriction. Even though he is already on the right age, there is still no assurance that he can think mature enough and won't gamble or limit himself.


Most of us will play the gambling and do the acceptance of the win or loss in the game.If we get win of some dollars,So we enjoy few months with the winning money.If we loss the game,we accept the loss in the game.But the younger kid had tried to get back their money,So it show his dependency of the money.But the should accept the loss,because he agreed to start the gambling by taking the money responsibility in the gambling.So he should not again blame the gambling sites,after the loss in their game continuously.

The gambling community had lot of stories because of the win and loss from the game.This story speak abut the school student who loss their money and beg to the gambling site.Since that gambling site is not the real one,they had refused to reply for the mail.The mistake made by that school children was,he used the scam website for their money.If you play in the good gambling website,after you had made a mistake bet without knowledge.That gambling site will do the refund atleast 50 percentage of their used money.

This news could be good for local post but still on still we can discuss it over here and people who don't have the matured mind to gamble to should stay away from gambling honestly, because let say if they win huge there's no way they would write to the gambling site to refund them some certain amount for over paying him or to retuned the amount won from the platform.
So in simple language there's no way a gambling would refund the little boy who is under age, I know there are ToS so they should read them properly before getting involved in gambling to avoid labeling the casino and gambling site a bad name.

Yes, they can refund.

But do they refund? No.

He clearly violates their terms since he is 16 years old and assumes 18 years is the legally accepted age to gamble in most casinos also he bet and lost the money so there is nothing more to discuss. He took the risk and lost it, now begging it won't change anything. So whoever want to gamble can think twice, thrice or x times before betting the money but once the bet was made there is no way to look back and change things.
Just like a case of an underage girls that gave birth to a baby and the society where in confusion as to who to blame for such incident since the girls was underage,  although the man that impregnated her was sentenced to jail for rap and child abuse,  which seems to be the right judgement for him.

But what then becomes the judgement for this situation,  as the boy is 16 and normal gambling age is 🔞 so for this case the casino is not directly connected to this case so for that there will not be a judge or at obligation to make a refund for the boy,  so the boy is all at risk of never seeing anything from the casino and have to move on.

The boy's money will not be refunded because there rules and regulations that's governs the gambling industries. Moreover it's a careless mistake and a greedy decision for the boy to gamble with his school fees. Secondly on the company aspect they don't refund money that has already staked, it's also said to use your spare money to bet. Gambling is a game for matured minds and shouldn't be meddled with underage, imo that boy Is supposed to serve a community service for breaking the  law against underage gambling to serve as deterrent for others.

Hmm, just weird though, because this is the same casinos that has been mentioned here, a thread also open by the OP,  A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate.

So by now, something is not right with this casinos, although we can't say directly that they have been scamming people or it is just that this kid and the lady as well can't control their gambling and chooses this casinos to play and then they lost some money.

Or it could be another way to bring some bad publicity to this name casinos as well. But it any case, we all know that gambling is not for everyone and we should always play with the money that we can afford to lose so that we won't encounter the same issues as this two individuals.

The answer is obviously no since it seems pretty clear that Sportybet doesn't allow underage and that the boy violated the terms. I don't think even the government could step in and help the kid. The only way I see that they could be forced to refund is by social media pressure like cancel culture. Although I think it's less likely that the casino would give in but you never know what happens when kids or women starts crying on the internet hehe.
For a company that have long standing operational success and reputations,  they won't care about whatsoever social media pressure or campaign that the boy will pull that will get they attention since of obvious that the boy played and lost the bet so I don't see any reason why the casino should refund or even listen to the boy in any ways,  because the boy have violated the casino rules by all means since he know that the age limit on gambling before going ahead to gamble and lost.

So he should be able to handle whatever outcome the result of his action become and leave the casino out of it and I am also sure that from his complain the casino is going to discover his real age and ultimately block or can the account access.
Regardless if the casino is reputable or not, I don't think they will give in to the request of the boy. In the first place, it's the boy that break the rules and continue to bet and lose, so the casino is clearly not at fault and does not owe any explanation to the boy. If he loses his tuition fees, that is no longer the problem of the casino but only the boy itself.

Just think for a moment, if that school boy had won the bet, then what would have happened? Would he have returned the money to the Sportybet that he made a mistake and he is returning his money? At that moment, he would have withdrawn, enjoyed the money and never cared about the casino etc.

So, all this drama is because he has lost the bet and now wants a refund. Things don't work that way and gambling is not running a charity organization and their source of income is these greedy persons.

Gambling addiction is a result of greed. The boy was very greedy here because he thought he would win a big sum of money by betting. But unfortunately the boy lost. Here my question is no matter how much the boy begs for his lost money back he will never get his lost money back. Here are the company's rules stating that winnings are never refunded and entry of children under 18 is strictly prohibited. However, even if some platforms do not have such rules, the company will never refund losing bets. But all the students should learn from this boy because many parents spend a lot of money for their education, there are many students who use that money for bad things, so they start blaming others instead of blaming themselves. And I think the parents of every boy and girl should first be aware of what their son is doing. If the parents of every child can be aware then their children will not run into bad paths.
