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.

His parents or guardians should keep eyes on that guys and make sure he becomes accountable for every money he is giving for academic purpose and probably other purposes, they shouldn't allow his take possession of his fees or any of such huge amount again because there are tendencies he would most likely go back to try again if he could recover the money he lost.
I'm sure this will be an important lesson for that child, never gamble just because a friend invites him to gamble using his school money, it will never be good in the end using money for his school needs, that's why you are always reminded of gambling with money that is ready to be lost, meaning unused money so that when you lose you don't have to chase it and cry asking for it to be returned.
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.

They will not of course, this could be a lesson to all minors out there that they should obey the rule and they need to follow it that if they are still minor they don't need to pretend that they are old enough just to gamble. I know that there are more kids out there that do the same thing and they should not used high school funds nor their tuition fees. Parents should be aware and learn from this too, they should guide their kid because gambling online is too easy to access nowadays. 
He is definitely not getting a refund, there is never a time a casino refund anyone their Money they lost because the money was so important to the person or for any reason what so ever, this is probably because if you were fortunate to have won you definitely wouldn't aske the casino not to pay you because you feel pity for them, rather in most cases you would take actions against them in the guise that you have been scammed.
The child has violated the rules of the site to even start with, that alone should be enough reason for the casino not to refund because he has gone against their policy which is usually placed during registration and KYC, it's possible he has aswell forged a kyc document so he could use the services of the platform which is definitely wrong and enough reason to ban his account.

If public sympathy would carry the boy far I don't know but people could be looking at the plea for his school fees and I won't be surprised if someone comes out to pay for the school fees but definitely not the gambling company because if he had won, they would pay him and nobody would say he is underaged so don't pay him.
That will give the minor to justify his action since some people will come to rescue him, kids should know the penalties for their wrongdoing, wrongdoing should not have a happy ending, minors in the first place should not gamble especially using their parents' money, he should understand that the money come from his parents sweat.
The casino should have a firm stand that violators of their terms should not have a chance to refund, all the kid can do is be honest with his parents that he lost his money for tuition on gambling and accept whatever his parents' punishment will give to him.
I think that's impossible. Gambling should be a game that has been agreed upon. if you lose in gambling it will not be your money back. The problem is how can a 16 year old child be allowed to gamble? At that age, he shouldn't be able to gamble. doesn't this seem illegal? I know how it happened, but I believe this child must accept defeat and lose whatever the reason.
It seemed he was hiding his identity as a student so he could gamble at the casino. If the casino had known from the start, the casino would not have allowed him to gamble, and he would not have been able to gamble at any casino. It was his own fault for gambling, let alone using his school money. And the casino also won't return his money when he has lost all his money. Yes, the child really has to accept his loss and explain to his parents that he has used his school money to gamble. I think that's impossible.

Even the casino is illegal, it can't be used as the reason to refund the money. How someone can learn when they're always hoping the world and everyone will always agree or help you? such thought can't be used here since world is full of bad people and most of people don't care about you. 
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.

Government also has a role to play on game house falling ignorant or mistaken to allow underage to gamble with them. Hence, they should be seriously penalized and made to pay heavy fine and by that they would be serious to scrutinize the age of suspected underage.gambler.
Although, such scrutiny would be difficult online but if an underage beat such underage limitations and gamble then it is at the peril of the underage but if it is offline then a proper scrutiny should be done and where in doubt , the age or birth certificate should be produced so as to be show the gambling house projects itself.

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.
Let the boy take accountability on his actions. It's a consequence of his actions and he should take full responsibility of it. There's literally nothing the gambling platform should do with this as the boy knew full well of the risks and still decided to push through with it. If he won against the casino, would he heed the casino's pleads to give them the money back? I don't think so.
It won't hurt for the boy to have a taste of the consequences of his actions every now and then. He will learn this the hard way with a huge price to pay.

The casino company will not refund a dime to anybody not even to the boy, because it is assumed that the young man is an adult, on the betting site of every casino company, it is specifically written that it is from 18+ .
What this means is that the young man must have lied to the company while registering or opening his account in telling them that he was 18, probably use any other person's ID card that was 18 to find his way to the registration portal. The company wouldn't given a dime because if he had won the game he would not be writing to the company directly for a refund, he would have been happy that whatever prediction he made has come into fruition, so I think the young man is a sore loser that Is just trying to play some sort of sympathy game that will not take him anywhere.
Gambling platforms will never refund any funds lost in their platform. Whether it is made by a minor or a person in the right age. The epic reply of the casino of saying the fund can't be refunded is to be expected. Besides, who knows if the issue is just a made-up excuse to make the casino refund him the money? There is no proof that the student really gambles the money except for the request made by that minor. It is possible this minor is being used to possibly trick the casino into considering the request. And obviously it won't work because business is business, and the "kid" won't also send back the money if he happens to win a huge amount instead.
Poor boy, he didn’t realized that gambling is a serious matter and anything that you lose into it will never have the chance to be refunded, unless if the casino is at fault. But it’s very clear that this boy has faked its age and now look where he is. This is why minors are strictly not allowed to gamble because they really are not aware how to take and manage its risk. For them, gambling is just a game that when you get lucky, you will double your money, but when you lose, everything you have is gone. Now, he might have learned a lesson but in a very unfortunate way.
The boy will realized fast that sportsbooks are not running charity, where you can request to refund your money if you want to.
There's a chance to refund his deposit if and only if, the bookie, looked at his situation, and for some humanitarian reasons,
they decide to return the money to this boy. It means, such initiative will depend on the bookie itself.
They have no obligation whatsoever to return the lost money, as you accepted the terms when you played on their site.
boy should really be realizing that now. He wont really be getting that school fees or whatsoever it is because its final and there's no way on getting it back. He must accept the consequences of the actions that he had
made and pretty much sure that he would really be scolded by his parents basing up on the thing that happened. Well, mistakes are really that something could be avoided specially if you are still young and also
gambling thing isnt for children. So how the heck he do end up on playing and making out some bets on a particular site? Common influencing things? Yes it is one and this is why it is really that always relevant that we should really be that checking out our kids whether they are dealing with something like this specially on gambling because we know the possible effects that it could give.
Obviously not. Gambling sites have assumed it already that once we enter into betting, we are responsible enough to manage the risk and its losses, and that is the thing that this boy lacks. Since he’s still a minor, he’s still immature on how gambling will affect his life. But with this kind of experience, I don’t think he’ll try to gamble again using money intended to pay the bill. Now, his tuition fees are now gone, that even if he beg with blood in his eyes, those amount will never be refunded anymore.

Will the Gambling Sportybet (Company) Refund the Money?
The answer to this question will depend on the terms of service of the betting company and the laws guiding gambling in the country. If the terms of service forbid a gambler from getting back their money after losses, then the young man has no hope of getting back his money except on humanitarian grounds. The company might decide to help him and also use him for public awareness. But the consequences will be that more people will do the same thing and expect refunds. But if the law of the land mandates the casino company to ensure that underage gamblers are denied access through KYC, then the casino might be held accountable. Since they failed to restrict underage gambling, the young man might receive back part or all of the money he lost. This will be a legal matter that will be determined by the court.
During my secondary school days I gambled, I lost and I also won in between. But you should know, whenever it's gone you can't get it back. Only way to get it, is by winning.
You're simply making this very difficult and and long, the story is boring and ohh GOD! Phew!
The Betting Company will never give a listening ear. If OP is feeling very generous, he can go ahead by giving or providing parts of the fees if not all.
With SportyBet, My highest staking power has got to be 30,000k. The games didn't go as planned and I lost, going back to ask and plead for help from SportyBet? That's fuckrey.
Don't you think this is just SportyBet marketing stunts?
There's another OP's thread about the lady crying after she lost money on this platform. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-lady-cried-after-losing-to-sports-bet-gambling-is-not-your-mate-5469303
These are like patterns to make the casino viral and although we sympathized with these two victims, I'm already feeling like SportyBet is paying the kid and the lady for their posts. Who would want to publicize all this crying unless they are not benefiting? They say people are donating but on their pages on TikTok they never even mention donations.
This is why it would really be always that better to ignore about these stunts and its true that its really that impossible that they arent that benefiting. Just to look at those common names
which it is really that mentioning about "SportyBet" then you cant really blame out people on having those kind of impressions that this might really be just that a marketing
stunt made by them and just simply trying to make out some exposure via with these kind of common gambling affects but if we do speak about exposure then its odd
that they would really be focusing that much on devastation part? This isnt how that normal marketing works but rather they would be focusing into positive things
rather than on devasation.
Gambling wager is not refundable. The boy broke the casino rules and is lucky that he is not being reported to the authorities for punitive measures. That boy sure has to be taken for therapy and rehabilitation. He is already showing early signs of gambling addiction. Parents should pay more attention to their kids. He's a ticking time bomb. From using his tuition for a bet only heaven know how far he'll be willing to go, steal money? Lie or do whatever just to be able to gamble.
