So often at times, we are always warned not to allow kids to get involved in gambling and one of the major reasons is that gambling is a highly addictive activity, but in recent times we see how young folks are making a positive impact and making money for themselves through the cryptocurrency space.
What is the best age a kid should get involve in online crypto gambling and what is your recommendation for that?

It depends on the country regarding there laws distinguishing the old age, adulthood, young or youth age, adolescent and child. That is how that line can be drawn. With that given, you can then understand appropriate age that the law stipulate for the young to be considered an adult or knowledgeable enough to make and be responsible for there decision. This is different from country to country depending on the maturity level of the children in the countries. But the age for independence of young person for many countries is from 17/18 years, I think those are the age that is appropriate for young gamblers. And the impact of underage gambling is always negative for the individual because they become addict and abuse it when they play excessively.

Is it really necessary that one needs to go into gambling?

Not like its a crime or anything but gambling is such a daring field of human endeavor that, only the matured minds and financially stable individuals could handle. It could frustrate a person or affect one's mental health completely. I recently viewed a clip of some gambler pleading that his money be given back after losing on a virtual bet. It was sad to see how the money meaned a lot to the individual and yet he gambled & lost it. Unfortunately with the site of gambling where the CEO is far from reach, your money can't be given back, its business. You don't give back a win so, same applies to the loses.

Gambling has a way of affecting your mind and the way one thinks. I saw a thread on the forum lately, I don't want to mention the user but, the user is an under age individual that tried some gambling and confused that, its all he or she could think about while in school. You just want to get home and try out some new games. Either You loose or gain, it drives your thought towards making money or recovering some lost funds.

So, gambling goes beyond age, its maturity and your economic standing.

I guess the normal age that is legal is 18? IMO, even some kids are now earning through cryptocurrency and most of it is earned from NFT games but I think that it's still dangerous for them to get involved in gambling. The thing we needed is a good understanding of the consequences of our actions in gambling, it will lessen kids of getting involved on it since they will be more cautious due the dangerous outcomes of it. Decision making is one of the important things in life, if those kids can't even decide for themselves so what more in gambling, prolly gonna lose a lot because they're not hesitant to play.

Just because a lot of young people make money in crypto space doesn't mean that we allow them to gamble, I think that underage gambling is still a problem no matter what medium they use, remember that underage should be the stage where they develop interest and skills.

there is no rule that every child must gamble. Let them choose their own path when they grow up.
and what I want to emphasize is that looking for money and wealth does not have to be a gamble because indeed if the reason you introduce your child to gambling is just to seek wealth it is a big mistake and one of the stupid actions of parents.


your thinking is too directed towards gambling to forget that in crypto there is not only gambling.
Gambling in crypto is the very last thing you should teach because before that you have to tell your child that this is the place to invest for the future as well as to trade.
if the child already knows and understands about this you can only tell more things than that, for example, such as gambling, although I do not recommend things like this to my children.

It will always depend on every country's policy in regards to children who should have consent over gambling activity on either local or online. Most will agree on 18+ age as the consent age but what's more questionable is where they'll get that money they're using for gambling? I think the best age for a person to make his vice like gambling be sustained is when he can afford to lose it or he has job that may get those money to be played on a casino.

Meh. Regardless of how many millions they make as long as it is "gambling", there are still huge risks, not just addiction. Impacts include fines, probation, and even worse jail time.
As a kid, you wouldn't want a record on you at such a young age. The overall well-being of a kid could be altered due to his/her gambling addiction.

None. A kid should not be taught how to gamble in the first place.
Crypto-space is huge and offers a lot of opportunities to learn. Better to get them to be involved with what makes the cryptoworld works. Blockchain, coding, etc.

I think this is an interesting point, because most of the time it is relative.
For example, it depends on the laws that the countries have in relation to gambling (child, teenager or adult), maybe the ""culture"" of the country has a certain influence for the individual, and another relevant point is in relation to treatment, because I believe that this can be considered an addiction, if the person cannot control himself, because everything that is too much can be harmful to the person.

As long as the teenager earns his own money I think he has the right to gamble if he wants. And actually age doesn't mean a lot in gambling. For addicted people, for an example, doesn't matter how old they are, gambling isn't for them, never. While for a responsible adolescent, it can be an entertaining hobby without further prejudice.

Nowadays there is a lot of polemics regards this matter, but the truth is children have always seen adults gambling and it has been part of their lives for many following generations. In the end only few presented issues with addiction during their adulthood. It makes believe the problem isn't in gambling exposed to underage, but in the psychological of few underage instead.

The recommendation is to never see gambling as a job. Don't expect to earn an income from it for a living. Beware of people promising strategies or gameplays too good to be true on the internet. And never hide your gambling habits from your family.

My question to the OP is: is there any data and evidence to suggest an impact in certain areas that is already legal on this impact on minors? Do not be too skeptical and make gambling as if it has entered the concrete operational area of ​​children. They are with their world and we still see that today they are just busy playing games.
Keep in mind that there will always be closer scrutiny of how we don't find that data anywhere. So it would be great if you provide us with reliable data and which area you are talking about.
If there is no relevant evidence, then this is just a warning, so far children are not familiar with this type of crazy gambling. Their world is just play and play.

In US, the legal age to gamble is between 18-21 years old^[1] but that doesn't mean that everyone within that bracket range is recommended to gamble. The things is, most of them isn't financially educated, which makes them unaware of the underlying risks involved.

Also, as @julerz12 have said, there are lots of opportunities to earn money in cryptospace and it isn't limited to just gambling. At an age of 18 and above, I am sure that they have an interest on technical side of things in crypto, and it could be coding, engineering, or even NFT's that involves digital drawing skills.

Young folks are making a positive impact in making money through cryptocurrency investment or trading. Though there may be a possibility of a few kids who profited in crypto gambling, I do not see any possibility for an underage kid to be exposed to this highly addictive act.

With regards to your second statement, a "KID" should not be involved into crypto-gambling until he or she is on or above the legal age of their country. The effects of gambling to a person are highly destructive as it has the potential of ruining one's life if left untreated or unsupported.

but why should they get involved in the first place? as much as I like gambling online I don't recommend or encourage people to try and gamble online especially if it is a child/kid. and if a kid gets exposed to it by accident and starts asking questions. be truthful and do not sugarcoat anything when you are explaining the pros and cons of gambling. I've seen too many people explain gambling by what price they could get and leaving out what you could lose when gambling.

I don't think there's any best age aside from the legal gambling age provided by the government because there are people who have a different perspective on gambling and how they deal with it. Even though underage gambling is inevitable I think one can still be responsible enough but at the same time they need a deep understanding on how to manage such habits because it can easily spiral out of control. As much as possible I wouldn't recommend gambling to those who are underage given how destructive it can be as you can simply influence someone just by asking them to play with you.

my view may be a little different,
regardless of what age they enter crypto it is not important but one thing is certain is when children are able to choose and determine which is the best and are responsible for what they choose, that's where they can be said to be adults regardless of what age it is. Teenage phase doesn't matter. because if something is pegged only by age it will not be true because everyone has a different process and mindset, for example, suppose there is a child who is still in his teens but can become an adult in attitude, character and action and the other way around. some should be in adulthood but they are still children.
well here age is not important as long as they can become adults why not.

other than that don't see crypto as a place for gambling, this is not what it should be.
you have to look at the side of crypto that has been formed until now, namely investing / trading.
gambling does exist and can be done through crypto but only a small number of people do it and you don't have to teach it to your child before your child understands the real crypto.

What I understand from this is you assume young folks are making money through crypto gambling. How about crypto day trading and investing? I think that's where youngsters earn most of their money and not on gambling.

There is no best age for a kid to gamble. Just be of legal age and don't use your allowance.

It is not required for a child to gamble, let alone what age is recommended because this can indeed affect them early if it is required.

However it depends on government policy and in each country to regulate the minimum age law for gambling is allowed, maybe in the US 18+ is allowed, but in my country gambling is still prohibited so this is still against the rules and I Doing this is not overtly gambling, it will still be with this online gambling, we are easier to play, but this is also inseparable from children who cannot be avoided from this.

Everything has their own pros and cons and in gambling I think the cons outweigh the pros.
Gambling addiction is very bad and while the adults find it difficult to quit gambling it will become even harder for children to quit it.
Teenagers get influenced easily and I think it will become easier for scammers to target these underage teenagers to fall prey for their scams.
Teenagers don't earn enough money and if they get addicted to gambling at this stage then they might start stealing money for gambling.
These are just some of the negative scenarios and I think underage gambling will only have more of negative impacts on them.

However, unlike adults, young people are extremely vulnerable. I believe you are simply observing and noticing them. You don't seem to know them very well. They aren't addicted to it, as you believe. You can imagine that if a young person becomes addicted to gambling at a young age, he or she will be more likely to engage in illegal activities or extort money from their parents just to play. This is just one of the many consequences. I believe they should be informed of the danger.

I do think that the age is something that does not define how mature the person is for real, I do think that the most important part would be analysing the person personally which is something that might not happen since this is impossible to do therefore, I do think that the right age would be 21 for sure.

At the same time I do think that kids are impressionable and if their parents are addicts then I do this might not really work for the long term kids will grow up thinking this attitude is fine.


Plus it's really important to understand the fact that kids gets addicted really fast, so right knowledge and right direction must be given to them at an early age and they should learn about it instead of being in absolute dark.

Underage gambling should be discouraged because the young can’t handle risk and can easily get addicted to gambling, which may hurt their life in the future, but again, once you are 18 and above, you can gamble. Gambling is a highly addictive.

Being underage has indeed emotional vulnerabilities and most of the time, they are young enough to make smart decisions for themselves.
I won't suggest the best age to get involve in gambling because for me, if you can let them not to get involved as long as possible, much better.
If you can't avoid it, it is better if they are already working and earning for themselves, so they know the value of money.
If they are working hard to get that money, they would know how to spend their funds wisely.
There are so many not-so-good consequences when a kid gets addicted to gambling, which will give you the impression not to let them involve in this addictive industry.

If you check properly, you will see that most of the young folks making money via the crypto currency space are not doing it mostly through crypto gambling.

For any thing that involves staking on the chance, because of it's very addictive nature, i believe you should as much as possible help kids make the right decisions until you are certain they can do it on their own and that is restricting them from all forms of gambling till they come of age.

There are other profitable aspects of the crypto space that you can show to kids instead of crypto gambling i believe.

where do you get the information a lot of young people are now getting money from crypto gambling?

I still think the right age to play gambling (safe) is when they can get a steady income

btw, gambling is still a bad thing for young people. Don't teach the young people around you what gambling is, let them find out for themselves when they want and are ready

I never thought that the age standard is mandatory to start gambling. This does not mean that every age under the age can gamble. What I mean is that there is no obligation if one is an adult then one has to jump into gambling. Gambling is not a learning obligation. So I think that gambling is not something that every young man should engage in, they have different hobbies and different ways of making money. Not only in gambling, but the ideal is that the older he gets, the more he knows how to earn an income.

Well, I guess for gambling itself, I rather let them explore it. I mean, I won't recommend nor teach my kid or a kid to do any sort of gambling. but since we are in a technological era, in which even Kids have their own gadgets and internet, they could easily access and be aware of anything. So yeah, I would let them explore on their own. Up to the point when they cross the path of any gambling related activity, then I would step up and explain the Pros and Cons when they asked. But won't let them engaged on it up until I see that they're responsible enough to handle such thing.

Underage gambling is not just because of the addiction but because kids are unlikely unable to manage money. Considering that they have lower knowledge and experience, it is a waste to let them gamble knowing they could lose all. Besides, gambling is very risky in the sense that you could lose all your money in one bet. On the other hand, crypto is somewhat different as you can forever have the same unit of a token/coin, just that there's fluctuation in its worth. So, it is more based on the risk, IMO.

I hope you know that there is a difference:

1 - young people earn money from investments in cryptocurrencies

2 - young people are in the gambling that most of them lose money

are two different things, and it is known that most people lose money in gambling


It is a consensus among most countries in the world that being 18 is already of age and responsible for themselves and casinos only allow people over 18 to use the casino, so your answer is 18 years old.

I think that we should try to keep children away from gambling until they can understand what dire situations gambling addiction can lead to. Some are able to understand it when they are 14 years old and some will never understand it no matter how many times we explain or forbid it to them. That's why I don't think it's right to talk about age when we're discussing gambling. I never rely on the state in such matters and I believe that each of us should control our own children regardless of age restrictions on gambling in any country.

I wont never recommend gambling on any kid or underage because this shouldnt really be introduced on them on earliest years of their lives but rather focus on other things which is arent really related to this.

Yes, it can give out that chance on making money but doesnt mean that it would be sustainable or really that ideal for those kids to involved on.Gambling is for entertainment and not for source of income.

Play gambling when you are matured enough on where you could able to handle up your emotion and you are fully aware in regarding with your actions.

I should be clear as stated!  ;) there are differences between these two things, number one is more on a wiser side if young folks invest into crypto and managed to find the right asset to earn, they are doing the right thing and have a better future ahead.

Though number just like how you described it, most young gamblers suffer lots of worse things when participating at this early stage. The corruption in mind leads them to get addicted and lose a lot of money and time.

and in terms of best age, I also agree that allowing young adult who already 18years old may able to explore and suit themself up into gambling whether they will proceed or choose to walk the other way.

In my country, the government is only now starting to talk about financial education in schools. But I see that there are many children "playing" in gambling without having the slightest knowledge of finances, this is absurd.
I don't know if there is a right age, each country has a different culture, different habits, and different education.

I think that before the age of 18 no one should bet on gambling, and even people over 18 who do not have an income (they still depend on their parents, for example) should be banned from gambling.

Kids should not involve themselves with gambling no matter how responsible you think they are, it is that simple, kids simply do not have the abilities to deal with gambling as they have not matured enough to be considered to be responsible for their actions.

Besides most kids do not have their own source of income and instead they rely on their parents, and no parent is going to agree to give their kids money so they can gamble with it, so I do not think there is a discussion to be had, kids should not gamble even if they believe they can win as most of the time this is an illusion and it is not true at all.

To paraphrase what @alegotardo said...
They are talking about financial education in schools (especially in high-level private schools).
But I believe that, depending in the culture of the country, its habits in relation to gambling, I believe that it is valid to educate these children/teenagers about the dangers that this could happen in the future.

There's no age restriction for me as young folks have different stands and knowledge. What if even at a young age, they are responsible gamblers right away. They know their limit, they know the do's and don'ts and they are just taking gambling as a side activity.

I'm not surprised at those young ones gambling. What I'm more surprised about is at that age, they are interested in crypto. Already knows the basics of setting up a wallet and the most surprising, they already have money to spare on gambling at that age lol. How can they deposit crypto as KYC is necessary at exchanges? Likely today, teens are mostly hardcore gamers and will just play those games. Even betting for it. But not on the crypto side playing in crypto gambling sites.

It's correct and I agree. As long as the person is matured enough to know the risks they are going into, I don't mind if they are still at a young age or not. Respect at those young ones that are matured already and able to think properly compare to some adult gamblers. I won't stop these young ones to gamble but I do hope their mature thinking won't change in the long run.

There are still lots of challenges these young ones will encounter while gambling. Since they gamble early, they will be more responsible and skilled gamblers in the long run as long as they continued. But since they are young ones, I doubt the majority of them will be gambling addicts right away. At that age, they are still mostly trolling at their social life and friends. They are also involved mostly in sports and other social activities. Not purely on gambling as a form of entertainment.

For their young age, I don't see gambling as a good venue to learn about crypto life. Although some did it and make some money and since it was gambling, I don't suggest for them to get involved but rather to encourage them to stay away from this.

Honestly, they couldn't get a better future with this but might only it causes addiction which I don't want to happen. Early exposure to gambling makes their mind that instead of going to school and learn, they'll be thinking now different. Are they enjoying their life as a kid? No, they don't which I'm not preferred with it.

We can't stop them if they really want to gamble. The more they are limited to some things, the more they will be aggressive and will find ways to gamble.

Let's just do our best to educate them and talked to them nicely that gambling is risky. Sometimes, they are just dragged by their friends and so and that was part of social relationship that we can't control.

Trust them that they won't end up badly doing gambling. Teach them to become responsible. that's the only way we can helped them.

Maturity should be considered not age considering that many factors could lead an under-aged fellow into gambling. I came to discover many underaged gambler although not all have control over their emotions compared to adults.

The perfect age for an individual to engage in gambling is when the person can handle emotions and has a source of income then they can gamble because the responsibility that comes with earnings would help reduce excessive gambling

I never said that they aren't vulnerable and I never said that they are addicted. I simply said that I don't recommend or encourage people to gamble especially if it is a child. I also said that if they ever get exposed let them know the truth and do not sugar coat the explanation(which a lot of people do when they are trying to explain things to kids).

I think no best age for a kid can be involved in online crypto gambling because that will depend on how they can take care and be responsible for themselves.
If they only want to feel how to play gambling, they will be okay, but if they can not manage their time and money, I am afraid that only a matter of time will see that kid become addicted to gambling.
A kid does not have to be involved in gambling games, whether they have a responsibility and can take care of themselves or can not do that because gambling can make them get addiction if they play it for a long time.
If that young person above 20 years old, I think they can play gambling but with limitations and strong control for themselves.

Young people who are involved in gambling and crypto are something different, but if you say it is crypto gambling then it is clearly about gambling. You said these days young people can earn from the crypto space and for me it's not crypto gambling which means it can be from investing and or trading, but if you mean crypto gambling then I can assume it is an early win experienced by early gamblers. This obviously still has risks, because in gambling itself a gambler will never be able to consistently make money. So yes, a young age that can be said to be worthy of gambling for me, when they can be responsible by having their own income.

Underage gambling really has so much to do on our young people,it exposes them to several dangers in life.In as much as we are looking at the impact of underage gambling,we also have to take a look at what causes underage gambling.
One of the causes of underage gambling can be lack of parental training.Most of our kids lack that parental care and discipline,so they go about doing what ever thing that seems good to them,even if it will affect their future later.
Nevertheless,underage gambling has cause so many negative attributes to the society we live in today.It causes crime, it causes theft,and etc.too many to mention.

Kids should not involve themselves in gambling regardless if they  will play for fun or not. As you've stated, gambling can be addicting and we know the effect of it for a person's life so what more for kids? The best time for an individual (im talking about in general not only for kids) is to gamble if they are already earning through their hardwork. That way he can decide if he wants to gamble his hard-earned money either to gain or to have fun.

impact of underage gambling can be good or bad . good because like you said they are earning money for themselves and they dont need to depend to thier parents anymore but bad because it can cause addiction and it can affect their studies  .
to me the best age to get involved in gambling is 18 years old because this is normally the age where our brain gets mature and we will now know if what we are doing is good or bad  .
guidance might be needed tho because there are kids that will do things even if they know that its bad

I think one of the reasons why kids won't be allowed to play because they are not the one who earns the money to use as capital for gambling, it means they need to use their allowance. Let say he will have $100 for a week, he gonna use half of it and when he lost it all, there's a high tendency that he will gonna use the remaining half until he loses his allowance totally and after that, he will start to lie to his parents asking for some payments for some imaginary activities then if he still loses that money then the next thing he will do will be worst than before. I know someone who did exactly what I have told you guys but he isn't addicted to gambling. he was addicted to playing DOTA on the internet cafe.

Do you mean that these young folks who are making positive impact in cryptocurrency space are gamblers?

If we cherry pick, we will definitely find young folks who are making money for themselves through gambling. But that is if we only look specifically for those who are successful. If we randomly pick gamblers and ask whether they are making money in gambling or not, we will surely find ourselves facing an enormous number of losing gamblers.

The best age for gambling is not a kid's age. Gambling should be allowed only to adults with steady source of income.

And here's the problem. Just because they are making money out of gambling should they be allowed to do so? I think that's irresponsible parenting.
Even if they knew the strategies for gambling they should not do so. Chances of being a rebel in an early age will be high because they will think they can live for themselves.
Depends on his maturity age. If he can cope with problems at 18 then do so but I always hope that kids will end up having a job first so they will truly know the meaning of how to budget their money while their hobbies are being set aside.

our time now is advance , there are even young generations that making Big funds more than what can we afford , but also they are not covered of maturity ages in which they are very possessive and uncontrollable .
they can earn now and lose everything tomorrow so for me as parent?

--> Best to let our children open to us and all their activities , let us made them understand things briefly . if they wanna Gamble then let them be as long as it is their funds but also teach them to limit and not just a one day millionaire .

About the age?

--> it doesnt matter if they are under 18 years old as long as they are having mature understanding and listening to elders .

My Niece is ages 15 but he is already gaining 3-4 figures monthly in His performance in crypto market and sometimes even gaining 5 figures if lucky.

he is also engaging in gambling , but what i love about him? he allocates only 0% of His earning to gamble and he also sets specific  span of time to gamble , after that time then he will leave the gambling site no matter what.

for me ? i am a bit old fashion person so I think it is 20 years Old before a child learn or engage in gambling deeply.

Well i am bit confused gambling is gambling it does not matter weather it is in crypto or with fiat. I dont understand how they are making positive impact in crypto gambling. There is no best age, kids should not be involved in any kind of gambling.

What we need to talk about is: we never know that a minor registers on an online gambling site, even though it is clearly written on some sites to be +18 years and over, that's the problem, no gambling site records the personal data of a person involved in gambling.

There are no general recommendations, only parental supervision can recommend that they do not engage in online gambling.
First: keep an eye on their movements in operating android and laptops is the main key that must be monitored.
The second: occasionally check the children's laptops and androids, what are the applications that are inside.

Maybe it's a general recommendation, what can be done, to prevent them from getting further involved in online gambling.

Investing in cryptocurrency isn't the same thing as gambling though. Cryptos are in a sense, are something like projects of sorts. They have their own value and could reasonably be valuable depending on how the core of the project runs.

For crypto gambling age requirement, really we don't need it to be that complicated. Whether it's fiat gambling or crypto gambling, it's still gambling, so the usual rules of the country would naturally apply. I myself have no opinion on it tbf, I just follow whatever rules are in there and really, kids mature in different times so there isn't really a good age range or something to decide on.

Gambling of any form or in any platform is still highly addictive especially if your underage. I think the best age is 21yrs old and above, I mean there's no harm if the young ones are curious about crypto or gambling in any form. They just have to be fully informed that gambling isn't something you have to do everday ans it is not something that can be your livelihood. Even adults can't barely manage when it comes to gambling.

in all countries the age of 17 or 18 is the limit for a child who is an adult and they are free to do things like adults do, but in gambling and other negative things, I don't think we can give them the freedom to do it because obviously it will have a long-lasting impact on their future, in my opinion, now it is better for government gambling institutions to implement strict regulations to prevent the impact of addiction on teenagers and minors.

I believe that the right age to do gambling is when an individual already knows how to make firm decisions. 18 years old is already considered a non-minor in our country and as for me, that's the time where a person could decide on his own and could understand the risks of gambling so he or she will know how to put limits to it.

Though there are 18 years old that stills knows nothing good in life yet Yes that is the legal age in most countries allowing to gamble.

But mine? i will only let my Son to play if he had already work/job after graduating in College .

Once again, this is something you can't generalize! I am trying to not call them kids anymore, they are little people, with their own minds and character... yes they don't know much, but they are learning quickly if they get interested in something!

So the best thing to do is to talk with them... without that, you can't give the right assessment of what that little person is capable of doing! And I am sure that age has only little with all that, some kids are simply advanced, eager to try everything new... without the fear of losing and thinking about consequences! So I believe it's the part we need to teach them, to find a way to explain them... will it be earlier or later it's depending on the kid!

  Yes there's a big impact of underage people playing Gambling it could be mentally, financially, and physically but the most things affected which is Mental cause a young people need an affection ,care, guide, and discipline in order to avoid this addicted on playing Gambling the Thing could stop this will only the parents they will guide and give a little strict to their underage child , discipline them, give them an interactive activity, and lastly create na intimacy bond on them to make them busy so that they can forgot doing Gambling at all times.

If it's still a kid then just don't, there's no best age for them while they're still a kid. That category is already enough not to let them engage in any related gambling activity, crypto or fiat.
But if it's about knowing more about cryptocurrencies, any age that is very open to the idea is good but as they learn more about it. Better to discuss not gambling on them.

Supervision that is too tight will also not have a good impact on the child, but letting it hang out freely is also very likely to fall into negative associations. Because most of them will be affected from the association and then, with them gambling and doing other activities that basically they are not yet allowed to do so without realizing it is their way of showing their identity to be recognized. Cases like that have happened a lot and I think some children will always do it for generations and some don't, it's like something black and white that keeps on going.

I do not recommend underage to playing gambling before they are mature. Even if they are already mature, they do not have to play gambling because they can do many other positive things instead of gambling. The impact for them from gambling is they can become addicted to gambling at their ages and will not have to do anything else except playing gambling. They can steal their parent's money to be used for just playing gambling. If you have children, you must take care of them carefully and not let them use their gadgets freely without supervising them.

Can you share the ratio between kids who are winning to kids who aren't winning?? Maybe at around 1:100 or even lesser.
I bet you are only focusing yourself on the kids who are winning and you are forgetting how many of them are losing their money.

Is the phrase "best age for a kid to involve into crypto gambling" even applicable?? Well, as for me I don't want an underaged person to involve himself into gambling but nowadays most of these young people are using the internet and there will be a time that they will see an advertisement of a crypto gambling website and the like.

Overall, there is no best age for a kid to get involve into gambling because as much as possible its better if they will stay away from it. We know already the consequences and the possible effects of it into a person right? Lets not involve these young kids into crypto gambling.

actually he does not Implying about Kids are winning what he pointed is that young are making money here (I believe most are in trading)
yes best to clear this , or maybe it is Crypto/online gambling? since this is gambling discussion no matter if Fiat or crypto we are talking.
but also remember that not everyone is loser mate, there are still some people who become successful in their gambling careers .

Underage gambling is happening everyday, but, for me underage gambling in zero ability games and with sums of money beyond a mere playful kind of thing are certainly a no-no. I do remember that when I was young and Internet did not exist, we had to come up with games to play with other and many time involved some short of wager. Nothing wrong on that.

It always ended up with care and affections that parents provide, your kids will be out of danger in any cause if you as parent take full responsibilities, not just by providing all the basic needs but most important is the attention that you are bringing to your kids, keep them near you and let them busy interacting with you and not with their devices.

The value of parenthood should always be intact. The bond and the love will keep your kids away from any possibilities that will harm them along the way, not just gambling, since there are many other addictive offers this innovated technology brings to our kids. Young adults are the one who will suffer if the guidance from the parent is away.

We can't draw a single line for everyone because not everyone in this world is same so it depends on everyone but each government has their own age restrictions so better to stick with that and also we have a thread for that in bitcointalk so we can find different age category in different countries.

Over time, I've got to hear a lot of persons say, a child that wants to be spoilt or wayward would be no matter how you try and it makes sense but, its not always so. That's the bitter truth most parents don't want to accept for them being and at there job with the up bringing of a child.
There are certain upbringing of a child that would instill in the child the consciousness of trying to do right and playing cef by that, I don't mean gambling but, doing his or her best to be a good societal individual. When regulations are set, even without being monitored, the ward becomes cultured enough to follow them. It's an up bringing! It could be a clear path form an unhealthy habit and addiction!

In the end of the day, children would really make out their own decision despite of being guided that much with their parents but somehow it would really be influenced since they are already aware

or on what on the things been said to them on early age then that somehow will really help them to avoid on such activity or they might involved on but they are aware about addiction which is something
good.

Nowadays we cant really 100% to look after our kids activity but proper parenting would really be the best thing.

The minimum age for drinking is 21 years in my country and that is what the minimum age should be for gambling. With the advancement of technology anyone could gamble in the comfort of their home without verifying the age for some of the new gambling sites and i think they should verify the age of everyone who are gambling in their platform. I never liked KYC but when you are faced with a situation where under aged users are gambling then it is a bigger problem than i think it was.

There’s no best age for the kids to get involve in any kind of gambling, they must be on legal age before trying to gamble.

There’s a lot of risk on this if they get exposed at an early age, imagine the old gamblers are still can’t control their emotions what more the underaged? Parents should be more responsible on this.

Legal age is something in 18+ years of age which i do agree on but for sure there are kids who are below than that is already doing gambling activity because age is just a number and awareness is something different

on every person.Some are matured enough and some arent really still prepared on what they are dealing with thats why we do see various situations which is totally different to each other because it isnt all talking
about negative side.

This is why parents should be watchful into their kids about involvement on things online because they would be exposed on various things.

Each country has different rules regarding the minimum age for drinking alcohol and gambling. But usually most countries allow people to gamble
over the age of 18-21. And these regulations are carried out well for traditional casinos which are indeed easier to control. The problem is that online
gambling has not been maximal in carrying out these rules, because children under the age of 18 can still play online gambling. Most gambling sites
do not enforce KYC procedures. Besides, today's children are very smart, they can use someone else's identity to pass the KYC procedure.
So the best solution is to go back to parental supervision, to keep a close eye on their child.

Wait until they grow up and when they can already stand on their own, with what I mean standing on their own is that they have their own jobs or livelihood.

They shouldn't be gambling with their parents money because if they do then they shouldn't gamble at all.

Make senses. Nowadays, most children's activities are online, because of this pandemic. Many children focus most on their gadgets, online activities during the day.
And of course, learning online will make them very bored, bored, and stressed.
And as we know, there are so many advertisements about online gambling introduced on many websites with big jackpots and other very interesting rewards. And most kids can access that even they must falsify their age when accessing the gambling site. But in fact, there are many kids that are interested to play gambling.
Playing online is very enjoyable, moreover when they think that by gambling, they can also earn money (although actually, this is not easy enough)
And they may be addicted after that.

if the children have been in gambling addiction, there will be also other negative impacts to them likely only focusing on the game, forgetting about their tasks of school, getting money wherever they can get, and others.
That is why we as parents must be careful and pay attention more to our kids about what they are doing and the probabilities that they may be changing every day.

Actually, about ages, every country has their own regulation at which age they can play gambling.
And I ever wrote a thread about this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230360.msg53962700#msg53962700

Also, they don't know how much sacrifice their parents are doing just to get a hold of that money. So if they are earning on their own, they would know how hard it is to earn money. They can also start earning money at an early age like baby sitting or mowing the lawn, so they will know the value of money at an early age. I don't think they will gamble it if they know how much time they spent just to earn those money.

No parents and gambling sites will allow minors to play, but somehow because it is too easy, kids can finds their way to sign up and play on online gambling sites, kids are very vulnerable, they have no idea what they are up to in gambling all they want is to have fun and satisfy their curiosity, I don't know the positive impact of kids playing gambling, I still won't allow kids to play, unless they are in parental guidance.
The best age for kids to get involved is still 18 when they can differentiate addiction to playing and they fully established their character, when it comes to gambling, the character is very important.

The age differs maybe on country bases. Imo I don't think there should be a major restriction, especially if the kid earns. Also, some kids have superb brain and they can make better predictions and aswell higher cash outs. If there be a way the they kids can play with maybe a consent letter by the parents. I think there would not be problem with that. Let the parents or guidance be aware of the kids betting habit. If it's a consensus, no problems.

Can't imagine the thought of letting an underage to play gambling because I am not only seeing the fact that they are winning but also the side effect of having the happiness of winning which they will think that winning in gambling would be easy. Emotions being attached to gambling would lead a certain person to being so hook up in the game. T think the only age for a person to play gambling is when he/she already knows how to handle everything like emotional attachment, cope up with the losses and move on. To be honest there is no certain age of proper gambling unless a person is matured enough to handle everything.

That's a twisted way of thinking, there's more to life than just earning money and I don't think that it's the way to deal with underage gambling, you're basically tolerating addiction which is definitely the only way that underage gambling would go. Also, it's a passive minded to do what you're proposing, letting the kid decide when they can't even vote yet? And they still live with their parents? That's BS.

Well, in some countries that are familiar with gambling, some of them from what I've read even their parents gamble in their own homes. With gambling activities carried out by their own parents, of course their children will obey, I personally am not so surprised by that because every parent from a different culture will certainly do anything that we are not used to doing. That way, I think that prohibiting children from gambling depends on the culture and habits of their respective parents, because the state and/or relevant agencies will not be able to monitor these activities that allow underage children to gamble.

I will choose 18+, after you child is 18 years or above, you have to let him to handle life himself, but you will need to be advising him everytime and warn him against gambling. He can choose to gamble, but you will let him know about having little budget for it, how someone can lose huge amount to gambling and how someone can become an addict. There are real life cases you can use as an example so that he will know how to limit his activities why gambling for not to become an addict or lose much to it.

I can only imagine if they win, they can show their winning to their friends and invite them to play gambling. Once the other friends play gambling, that can be a bunch of kids playing gambling together without adults knowing. If they slowly become addicted, the problem will start and those kids can steal money from their parents or ask another adult person to deposit the money into their account. Even if they know how to handle emotional attachment, that does not mean they can control it. Once we feel the excitement in gambling, we can forget to control ourselves, leading to more losses.

There's a need for it because you'll never know how kids these days when they're hooked. Earns? meaning working?
No, that's outrageous. Even if a kid is a genius, why end up with that thought that they're good in higher cash outs?

that's why as parents, we have to continue to monitor teenagers and children who are still underage, I think what you can imagine now has happened a lot in the association of teenagers and of course the curiosity or curiosity possessed by teenagers makes them try to do things It's a bad thing without them realizing that this behavior will actually harm them in the end, I think the impact of gambling on children will have a long-lasting effect and can even spread to other bad behavior effects, if they win at gambling of course they have a little money to have fun happy and with the money it is not impossible that they will buy cigarettes, alcohol and even drugs later.

then the title must change since kids means below legal ages  ;D

but indeed I am a parent and i don't want my children into gambling even before they have own Jobs.

Enough answer mate, kids cannot even manage their last in something like small things then what more when they enter gambling and the possible addiction?

this is not really going into best idea.

Op said underage gambling and not gambling addiction. I am being rational in thinking. There are different status of underage; some are earning on thier own, many are dependent on thier parents and some do not have parents. If an underage has no parents or guider, then finds a way to earn from gambling as well as other things, as much as he can make good judgement of his own, he should be allowed. As long as we do not provide for him as an alternative, he should be allowed.  You should only be able to control whom you cater for.

Even if the child was lucky and he got into the hype stage and was able to earn something in cryptocurrency projects, I would not call it something positive. In my opinion, earning that depends on luck is bad because it is very unreliable and at a young age it can form a wrong attitude towards work, which is even more dangerous.

That's what's going to happen after underage gambling, they'll get addicted to it, especially if this gambling becomes a habit in their formative years, they're going to have a hard time removing that habit when they grow old, you're not rational, you're tolerating underage gambling by guising it as a means for a children to be independent.

Those young people are dangerous to get addicted since mostly they are the one who will think about doing a crime just to have money to gamble and we see some few cases about this happening that's why its good to the government to open up a law regarding on the age bracket to allow gambling and they shouldn't put only warning since if they totally ban underage people to gamble for sure we cannot see insane young people get hook or addicted on this supposed to be game for entertainment.

Yups they must not rely on Luck based profiting because if this will be the living they grown up? then their life will be miserable forever.
i have been in the same boat when i was a kid and believe me this is not good for growing up kids.
i use to even take money from my fathers wallet just to gamble with my classmates in secondary.

There is no best age for kids to start gambling because children shouldn't gamble, period. it's like asking what is the perfect time for an underaged girl to start drinking and get pregnant. The childhood is supposed to be a period of growing up, maturing, and learning the ways of the world from your parents, teachers, and elders. Once you have grown and developed both mentally and physically, you should learn about things like gambling. At that time (hopefully), you will be able to make sound decisions. When you are a child, you don't know how to do that. 

For this parents should be the one who's responsible for building up their childs future and if they are engage on gambling to for sure their kids will look at it as a good past time for them since you see your parents gambling. That's why from this we can say that parents have vital role so its good at early age they have gambling education and show what bad effect on it so that children can realize its bad effect.

I am afraid to see underage addicted to gambling because they will search for many ways to have money and use that money to gamble. It is what comes to my mind and even if they can earn on their own, they will use that money to playing gambling instead to save for their future. It will be hard to avoid gambling as the temptation to play gambling and make money will be bigger than just to save money. It will be difficult to make them realize the danger of playing gambling and become addicted as they will not listen to other people and prefer to choose what they want to do.

Every gambling case mentions that minors cannot be involved in gambling. Gamblers must be over 18 years of age to be involved in gambling. Adolescents under the age of 18 gamble The case will have a negative impact as one of the main tasks of most minors is to build an education-dependent career. If they waste their precious time in gambling It will have a very bad effect on the career.

Of course, sir, your words are reasonable and the womb of knowledge. A minor student earns a lot of money from a project but there will be a kind of greed in him.  As a result, minors will not be able to get out of the game later.

the impact of underage gambling is very high risk, even though he can make a lot of money, but he will fall into negative things, he will lose everything in his youth, he can lose his education, I think youth should be spent studying, knowledge is very is valuable, because with knowledge our life becomes easy..

Of course I wanted it to be exactly as you say, but unfortunately life shows us a completely different picture. In many countries, children start gambling by taking their cue from older kids in school. A passion for gambling at this age, most often leads to adverse consequences as children in an attempt to find easy money often cross the line of the law and steal and rob weaker peers that eventually spoil not only their lives but also the lives of the children around them.

Maturity will go a long way in building the emotional state of any gambler and kids may not have the maturity sense needed to handle some gambling issues and decisions. But once a person is 18 and above, that individual will handle whatever emotional challenges that involve gambling.

I think the laws that children and teenagers are not allowed to gamble are existing for a reason and that is because as a child you are not fully developed yet be it physically or mentally and that is why children are often way more prone to become addicted to something then adults. No matter if its playing video games or gambling. Of course there are also teenagers that were able to make a lot of profit with their gambling or sports betting but that does not mean that gambling should be accessible for everyone now, because those kids that made a profit with gambling can also get addicted to it, because i think it doesn't really matter if you are winning or losing in regards to developing an addiction.

For the hate of the addiction, underage gambling should be discouraged. I didn't consider the extreme of the scenario. Human character of adaptation shouldn't be undermined. Whatever a child does constantly from childhood to adulthood is automatically part of his lifestyle (addiction). If not corrected, it will turn generational.
But what then can one do to prevent this? Once an underage has access to Internet, he will gamble without the consent of the parents and government. I think it cannot be moderated.

Can handle but still got addicted to it. Though you have a point which making decisions are crucial like when to stop. I dont know for the others but those under age are still can't control themselves if they are hooked to it. They just want to play and play dont know how to stop unlike those older one that they can control it mostly

Exactly, the underage which is the formative years of a child should be developed towards making them a useful member of the society and at the same time can become independent and become someone to relied on.

Underage gambling can be highly addictive that is why young people below 17 years are discouraged from gambling but again many gambling sites try as much as possible to publicize the age restrictions on their sites.

I have conservative views when it comes to underage gambling, they should first finish their study or have a stable job before they gamble, the mind of the young will be corrupted if they play at a very young age, they should gamble when they are easy to accept the responsibility of their action and we cannot be good parents if we have kids that are exposed to gambling.

It's a no-go area to me if any gambling house allowed underage players should be shut down because it's a crime against society to allow underage players. Young folks don't get the right brains 🧠 to withstand gambling pressures.
