As a gambler considering a country to visit as a tourist, this interesting article talks about the casino life and legal gambling age in some various popular travel destinations.

An interesting question is, If the younger person wins the lottery from the gifted ticket, will the state agree too pay them or wait till they come of legal age??








I wonder if there are any South Koreans here? Really, can they keep to the rule of gambling to only some specific games even when they are abroad?




If your country is not included but is a travel destination, you can provide a review of the gambling activities in your country for the benefit of gamblers who may want to choose your country as a travel destination

The only two localities I as a gambler would like to visit in a tourism trip are Las Vegas as the biggest one which I dream to go there and Maccau which I don't care that much even if I don't visit it one time in my life but Las Vegas is in my long term agenda to visit and why not to hit a multi million dollar jackpot there  ;D.

All other places mentioned here are not that impressive to me and do not offer the same treatment as Las Vegas offers.

Regulators make the law, but the gambling sites would decide until it become a legal battle in court, but which may not lead to court case because it is underage, the gambling site would win and no money would be paid unless they have ToS for tourists. But it almost all countries, under 18 years are not eligible to gamble.

They are not in their country, so far another type gambling which is illegal in their country is provided where they toured to, they may want to try it out as as it is legal in the country they are.

I guess I was just lucky to visit those sites years ago, specially Vegas, it was really an eye opener for me. And I guess it is still a tourist destination for us. Macau is different though, if you are going to that place, then you are going to gamble, Lol.

Regarding the questions of age, if the law says that they are in legal age and if they won the lottery then, obviously the government will have to honor that and pay the player.

There is a conflict on that term if they don't allow below 18 years to play the state lottery then they should not let a younger person acquire a lottery ticket even as a gift, since they do not allow 18 years to play the State Lottery they will either void it or wait for the kid to reach 18 years old to receive his prize but what if the younger person is only 10 years when he receives the lottery ticket and won a jackpot he'll have to wait 8 years to receive the prize, it's better not to give the younger person a lottery ticket in case of a win there will be issues.

With these age limits, you can say that it is not always the case because sometimes minors can still go there and play without being caught. I'm surprised about the other countries because they are really taking care of their people because they are actually minimizing the risk of addiction when they limit the participant's ages. they are raging from age 18-21, I guess if you pass that age in those countries, life will get more challenging. Next time I really want to see a list of countries that totally prohibit gambling in any way or shape you perform whether Casino, Lottery, Race, or others.

Yes, I was baffled by that statement as well, and then give to to a younger person as a gift? I'm confuse, anyhow, 18-21 is what the age limit for most countries. And here, if the casino's suspect that you are not in the age limit, then they will ask for id.

Or the morals for young people is not really dig into gambling at a young age, specially in casinos because it can really ruin their lives and that is why this laws are put into place.

18 to 21 years old is the standard age for young people to gamble and in these countries that you've mentioned its also the same in my country, but I doubt if in this age of the internet, kids below 17 years have not experienced to gamble, even these young people are playing games they are still gambling in a subtle way, they bet for items for their characters and buy stuff to have an edge against their opponents, this age restriction only applies to physical casinos and offline lotteries but not online, we are living in a very liberal and technology-driven environment.

Younger teens have access to phones and internet and many of them fill-out ages above 18 so the can get eligibility to gamble, Some with matured looks also take advantage of their body difference to visit casinos even when they fall below 17 years. Technology has made age a factor that only affects physical deals like offline casinos but online casinos has little or no restrictions

 To me I will say Las Vegas has all kind of gambling games in their casinos and that makes it the best place for physical gambling,because you will see the uniqueness in their casinos. As for age limit,gambling is just like alcohol which age limits is from 18 and above. I went to Bahamas last year,I was lucky to visit one of their casinos, it was fun for me and my cousin which I went to see,we played different kind of games. Mobile casinos has involves teens below 18yrs into gambling.

It depends on the country. One country can accept young players while the other countries do not accept them. But if a player is underage, maybe the casino sites or casinos offline do not allow them to take the win money.

But as we know, young people can easily access the online casino through their mobile phones so it will not be a problem for them to play gambling. But the best play gambling is in your place because you will know the situations in your country and if your country prohibits gambling, you can access the online casino.

In my country and most other countries, the age limit is not less than 18years and above. In a country like Nigeria, the gambling sector is regulated by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission and only licenced Slot machine operators are allowed to operate. Other games that operate under license and are legal include land based casino, sports betting. The illegal games are Roulette, dice games and non skilled card games.

I remember an old thread where some countries or particularly one where the legal age to gamble is 10 that's crazy right. However mostly 18 is the legal age to gamble in most part of the world and the same goes to the internet casinos. I don't know the gambling tourism is still exists apart from Vegas and one country near to China?

I think they will allow it as long as the claimant will be supervised by his parents or guardians.

Lotteries surely understand already that there will always be the case that tickets will be gifted to a younger person.

And if that is not allowed, I think Delaware citizens already know that rule and in the case of winning, the prize will be claimed instead by the legal age person.

Why need a legal battle while lottery tickets has no indicated owners on it which means the legal guardian of the underage winner can claim it since there’s no way for the lottery company to determine the owner of the tickets once they pick the winner. Whoever holds the winning tickets can claim the price unless the lottery system on other country register the players name by the time they made the ticket purchase.

Good question. I think yes, they will still comply with that local rule because they will be worried that other people might see them not complying with the law when they are outside of the country. That might result in a much more serious issue if they will not follow their local rule outside the country.

But of course, surely not 100% of Koreans are following that but I will say most do follow. They are disciplined people after all.

Marina Bay Sand Hotel, not only used as a place to gamble, MBSH also provides lodging and shopping places for travelers who want to travel to Singapore, The building which has 57 floors is like three glass pillars that are similar to boats ready to sail on the southern coast, located in Singapore.

I only suggest for those who want to visit Marina Bay Sand Hotel, you really have to think about the risks, if you want to bet on casino gambling there, you have to be really mature and calm if you lose or win in gambling there, considering that many tourists lose their money, then jump ends tragically dying by suicide, this year it happened again to tourists who came from Taiwan, temporarily suspected of losing in gambling, for that if you want to bet there you must have a healthy mind and be ready to accept the risks, don't want to jump and commit suicide.

I certainly agree with that. As much as possible, most Koreans prefer keeping gambling as a private matter. They're stricly abiding the law and I've witnesses that from my Korean friends. They prefer travelling just to pursue gambling freely but they won't break their own law in their country. They always want to protect their reputation.

Major cities already have big casinos for every tourist interested to gamble. They travel so far to experience the high life in Resorts World.

You'd be surprised to know that there is a country where a 5 yr old kid is already allowed to gamble. There were discussions like this already, here is one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230360.20 But looking again at the wiki page  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_age#cite_note-27)Malawi age limit had already been updated. So far regulations of countries already agreed above 18.

From a legal point of view, this is a simple question. The law separates two activities: gambling and income generation. Since the ticket was gifted, there was no violation of the law. So the lucky person is left to receive his prize and pay taxes (if any - I heard in different states this is regulated in different ways).
A more confusing case would be if a minor illegally purchased lottery tickets and won the top prize. Here, most likely, we would see an interesting struggle of lawyers.

There are cases where gambling becomes a tourist destination. Las Vegas, Monte Carlo, Macau, Singapore and Japan are very familiar to me when it comes to casinos visited by local and foreign tourists in order to gamble.

I'm setting Las Vegas as an example. It is a desert and it is hot. Tourists want to enjoy and relax in their travels and a desert isn't the place for it. But thanks to its variety of huge casinos it also attracted many forms of events regularly. This made Las Vegas as the entertainment and gambling capital of the world even if it is located in a desert.

For me Egypt would be a very interesting place to visit based on its rich history and cultural background and it is close to my location. It's also a good news that regardless of the limitations placed by the Sharia law on gambling, tourist are given the privilege to gamble. The government knows that gamble would be a good source of revenue, hence they had to allow tourist access it.

In my country gambling is legal and the everyone that is 18+ can gamble. But it is important to note that the northern part of my country is dominated by Muslims, hence you might not have varieties of gambling firms, but the southern part is more open, hence you would have access to all forms of gambling. The most popular game used in gambling is football.

I think that local forum members prefer online crypto gambling  :D
In any case, I would like to see not just a list of countries, but specific features that these countries offer for gamblers and which are worth traveling. An ordinary casino, even a very chic one, remains so and they differ little from each other.

I don't have experience about these.

But, do some people from "Bitcointalk" have experience like in "Vegas". Do they asking some "ID" before we entering the casino or not? I only know, while you an expert (Like Counting Blackjack) Then they will try to ask your ID.

I would be extra careful with gambling in foreign countries. There are always people looking to screw over tourists in the most heinous fashions possible. And I do not only mean scammers and crooks, but also the government and regulatory bodies. Although also calling them crooks is not too far from the actual truth. There is a lot of illegal gambling in some asian countries which do not really care about your age or whether you are treated fairly. In most Europeans countries the gambling is quite bland due to the fact that its been over-regulated to death. So for example, in Germany you will find it hard to play the same kind of games as in Las Vegas, for example. So I do not recommend gambling in Europe.

I know there are different age limits in every country when it comes to gambling, but the average is 18+. I don't know exactly why 18+ is the minimum age to bet safely if they don't have an income, that's obviously pretty bad.

It's hard to expect them to gamble safely without causing damage and financial problems due to the many facts I've found that they turn out to be out of control. I found some children under 18+ gambling, they are very addicted but they still receive pocket money from their parents.

Most sites do monitor the age of the customers. However, that is unfortunately not always possible. There are sites that do not perform KYC, how can you determine whether someone is of the minimum playing age to be able to gamble? If we think of gambling with bitcoins, then that cannot be checked anyway. It is still verifiable for money flows that go through the bank or e-wallets. I think the KYC is the only option. In local casinos in cities it is easier to supervise since everyone there has to identify themselves when you walk in.

Macau is the only place I have experience with, Vegas remains to be a dream. But of course, online gambling experience is what I'm focusing currently and I'm having fun exploring other platforms and check what they have in store for me. As for my Macau experience, it is somewhat a normal one since most of what they offer there, I get in the Philippines—at least what I experienced. Meals that they offer are good, the casino proper is not that crowded, and there is a semblance of elegance everywhere. Also, lots of gambling houses can be seen in just a single street, kind of what they have in Vegas IMO.

^That is awesome dude, how I wish I experience that too because, to be honest, I never experience gambling in a real casino.
Every gambler's dream is to come to Vegas to experience an elegant casino but I think only those rich or middle-class people will come to that place and probably people like me will be preferred to use an online casino over a real casino which is very expensive.
Such a great experience that I wanted to try but of course, it needs a lot of money. :D

The bottom line here is, is easy to implement gambling restrictions for young people in physical casinos because you need to present your ID and documents and they will see you physically, but when it comes online it's very different, kids nowadays are smarter and can bypass those terms and when they are asked with KYC they can use credentials of their older members of the family or friends.

My country is still not consider as one of the good spot for gambling but in terms of local transactions, I can say that casinos already help a lot of people especially now that we can easily gamble online.

Our department of tourism is eyeing to have a casino in one of the best tourist spot in my country and not just like they, they are already adopting cryptocurrency for the transactions so hopefully this will push through because for sure, it will create huge number of tourist and that could affect the life of the locals.

I always wanted to visit the gambling capital of the world since I am curious about it and obviously for bragging rights that i have been to Macau and visits their known gambling casino there.  I also wanted to check on Las Vegas, it is a no brainer to chose Las Vegas as one of the tourist destination being a gambler.

I think most of the United states gambling Casino allows only 21 years old and up there are a few states that allow 18 -20 years old to gamble but Las Vegas only allows 21 years and above. Anyway here is the list of  ages that is allowed to gamble in each state.

most only different rules in each country that are enforced by each casino house have no special impact if we judge. but yes I agree with you that forum members are more interested in crypto casinos than real casino houses. Another factor of online gambling with a real casino house can be compared to the nuances of the increasingly modern game in the current century. some services may be more flexible with the services they provide, the rest are just as usual. maybe if I visit in the future I will prefer a casino that has easier rules than others like in England.

And this will be the reason why later on, we will see stats stating online casinos greatly attract youngsters.
As they can go around with the KYC requirement or some are not requiring any proof with regard to the age of the player.
So parents should look out for their kids because they still need guidance accessing these gambling sites.
If they know what they are getting into, they may be careful on what they are doing. But if not, they can easily get addicted to their games.
At least with physical casinos, the casinos themselves can restrict the people who are getting into their establishments.

In Brazil, gambling is still prohibited, but even so, I would like to comment that we are moving towards possibly reversing this situation.
Earlier this year the Chamber of Deputies (one of our parliaments that discuss and pass laws) was in favor of a bill that could allow gambling.
However, unfortunately, I believe that this will still take a few years to get off the ground, even because we currently have a president in the Brazilian government who is quite conservative to the "good customs" of the family and the Christian church.

We can't deny that if someone has gambling as a hobby, wherever they are going, they will commonly ask for a place for gambling. This is done commonly to widen their experiences and also enjoy the new ambiance of gambling in the new area. But as you say that not all countries legalize gambling and more to prohibit it. That is why many people may face some difficulties with it.
but this may not happen in some people who have experienced it. Commonly, they will search for information from many sources, from the internet, college, friends, or other people who know each other somewhere new about gambling offline.
And believe it or not, actually, many popular truism areas will actually have gambling offline sites, but this may be undercover, I mean they may be illegal but can operate because they are hidden enough.

Well, that's a tricky question.

But we have to dig down the rules that they have so, if there's an age limit and it's on the clause that they won't be allowed. I guess they'll have to consider to find first a guardian.

Although they have the means of voiding that winning lottery ticket but I don't think that they'll do such decision. They'll just have to shred possibilities for the claimant.

The point is that the younger person was now allowed to gamble in the first place. So if he was gambling at a minor age, this means he is violating the government/gambling law and should be punished.

In this case, the gambler should not be given the amount at any age but he should be fined for gambling at a young age which is harmful to himself, his guardians, and for the state too.

I wasn't supposed to be in Macau when I visited there. It was a last-minute, conscious decision to visit the said place and I somewhat regretted it :D I was there for only 8 hours and left immediately taking the next flight home due to personal reasons. The Venetian is a good place, and not a lot of people there too so you can kinda chill inside the casino proper and enjoy yourself. Not a lot of people roaming around too unlike what they post in blogs and other articles. Just played some slots and roulettes for a few sessions and it became boring.

In Vegas you have tons of options to gamble and lots of places to go to. In Macau, it's a so-so destination IMO :)

It probably depends on the casino's protocol as I remember one of my friends got away with it since he looked above the age requirement even though he was below 21 at the time, eventually though he was caught since one of the customers knew him as he's one of the professors in his school.

Yup, as more casinos have fewer requirements for registration it only takes minutes to visit a casino and start gambling. Age restriction can still be applied online though but not all casinos prefer to strictly enforce it since it could drive away some of their users.

If it's "gifted" then wouldn't the one who gifted it away be the one to redeem it or something? In the first place, I don't think the lottery would acknowledge a minor for winning the lottery with a gifted ticket since they're, well, a minor. The one who gifted the ticket might even get jailed if they discovered the fact, so I'd reckon any of the adults around the minor would probably help (though it'd probably be laxer than casinos in general).

Not from experience, but afaik casinos tend to ask for ID's if they "think" you're underage. They won't need to if you're obviously middle-aged but if you're kind of a baby face or at the border of age 21, then you have to present it if they see you.

Wasn't the UK supposed to put a ban on all gambling advertisements as people were against it and were saying it encourages people and even minors to gamble? Not sure if it was UK or some other country. They used to put a lot of gambling advertisements on the TV.

The South Korean law is weird. They won't allow their people to gamble but foreigners can gamble. That's fine. But why won't they allow their people to gamble outside their country? And how would they know if their citizens were gambling or not?

That's a personal choice.
Speaking of Korean gambling rules, it seems to have similarities with my country Indonesia where physical casinos can only operate in tourist attraction areas, Bali. It is also the rule that locals are prohibited from gambling, although in practice law enforcement oversight is not as stringent as one might imagine especially for tourist guides.

That has happened in Spain:

Spain bans gambling advertising (https://euroweeklynews.com/2021/08/31/spain-ban-gambling-advertising/)

Specifically on the UK, I have searched for information and after some back and forth, it seems that the ban starts today:

'The Committee of Advertising Practice recently announced that, from October, it will ban UK gambling ads featuring celebrities, sportspeople and social media influencers who would be likely to appeal to children.'

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/20/crackdown-gambling-ads-too-little-too-late-my-husband

'LONDON, Sept 21 (Reuters)<...>A ban on gambling advertisements featuring celebrities, sports people and social media influencers popular with children takes effect next month.'

https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/uk-fines-betway-marketing-kids-section-soccer-club-website-2022-09-21/

My country is not on the list because it is illegal to gamble unless the games are provided by the government. (which are crappy lotto games and sports betting with shitty rates) So it is a big no no if you are going to come to Turkey for this purpose.

Most countries won't let you gamble unless you are above 18 years old that's a pretty common rule I see. Makes sense because they also won't let you drink alcohol, smoke cigs or bang hookers neither unless you become a grown up.

This is indeed a strange and totalitarian law. But it seems to me that it is rather somehow connected with taxes than with the interest of the state to monitor its citizens abroad. Maybe this is against money laundering through "tourism" and then returning to the country with dirty money and the excuse "I won it at the casino"? This option seems logical to me, but I would love to hear from the Koreans themselves about this.

As I've said, it'll depend to the casino itself.

There are casinos that are considerate, as per the situation, the ticket was just gifted to the younger one and that's why there could be some shared opinion on how it'll go.

But there really are those casinos that won't be too harsh if the clean is win and that's the matter, well, it all ends up with an I don't know since I haven't seen yet a situation like that before.

In this case, lottery tickets should not be given to minors in countries that have such restrictions. But here if the guardian of that minor boy or girl takes responsibility then there should not be any kind of problem. In this case I would only express my interest in giving the responsibility to the father or mother of the minor. Otherwise if he is 10 years old then he should wait for another 8 years ‍according to the requirement of that particular country.

I don't know if someone out there really had received a lottery ticket as a gift. No one is doing this in my country.  But for instance, if it happened and the ticket won, all the kid do is make an arrangement with the guy who gave the ticket so they can both get the money. Why wait?

Isn't there an expiration of ticket which the winner may not be able to claim anymore by a month?

That's really weird but of course, they only apply for physical casinos, the only way they can trace their citizens if they are going to physical casinos is if they are reported if there are no reports and evidence presented to their embassy I don't think they can deport their citizen if that is their rule to all their citizens outside of their country, they are not the only country that allows a foreigner to gamble in their country but don't allow their citizen to gamble, one of this is Macau they too have strict law against gambling for their citizen.

I think all these that op had written is only based on physical casinos where people go and place there bets depending on the region. When we look at online casinos we are going to see  that there is no strict restrictions to gamblers based on there age. Age is only applicable to physical casinos not normal crypto casinos that do not require KYC.
KYC is another know some certain things about gamblers which can unveil the age and other certain information to determine the age of customers on casinos.

I think each country has its own unique scenery so they can be a travel destination but of course, not all of them allows gambling so let's make it a practice to do a research if we know to ourselves that we are kinda addictive to gambling and it seems impossible for us to exist without it even in just a short period of time.

Lol really? Indeed it's crazy yet surprising because we thought only 18 years old is the legal age for gambling and other adult activities. I bet this is one of the main attraction on this country and I wouldn't be surprised if most of those visitors are kids hehe. You're right that even on the web, the age requirement is still 18+ but I think it's possible to bypass them. There are so many ways though.

Las Vegas was also my dream gambling destination and I will never stop hoping that one day I’ll be able to play in there. Macau is not that really impressive for me. Well, for the minor winning in a lottery, it can be that it’s only given to him as a gift or whatsoever, so the government is still entitled to give him his winning prize. What is important is that he owns the winning ticket.

Are they selling the ticket but not giving the prize? Have I got it right? I think the ethical thing here should be not to sell any tickets. If they sell the ticket, they should give the prize as well. I think everyone should be able to buy tickets and have a chance to win prizes. I don't think it's pointless to ban such things. If the ticket is a gift, the prize can be given to the person's parents.

My choice starts with Macau, Singapore and ends with Australia. Macau being a small country it is quite easy to explore and get entertained. With Singapore things were highly advanced and the same makes me have a visit to it. When we talk about gambling everyone have a dream of visiting Las Vegas, but for me it is Australia for some reason.

What about gambling on cruise ships? They have huge casinos. I would say 1/3 or 1/4 of a whole deck. I've been on the cruises 3 times, and every time the ship was in the sea, casinos were full. To be able to make a bet, you just need your cabin card (that is a key, cabin account, on board ID, an all-in-for-everything card). While in casino, just insert your card and you are ready to gamble. No one asks your age.

To me it sounds like a very entertaining trip. I would love to be on such a liner at least for a few hours, but unfortunately such entertainment is not available to me not only because of the high cost of such entertainment, but the ban on gambling in my country. So I have to be content with online games and very rarely play poker with friends. But at least I am glad that I have the opportunity to play gambling.

Cruise ships are generally away from any mainland, so it makes sense that they would not really worry about your age during cruise if you want to gamble. Unless of course there would be any crimes you would commit during the trip. Anyway, your cabin card may even give them a hint on all of your details anyway, hence why they didn't ask much regarding your details and anything about you. They can keep tabs on your gambling habits, they just don't because they profit from.you and there's no law enforcement people nearby anyway.

Las Vegas could be the dream destination of all gamblers in the world. If you are talking to gambling city, Las Vegas is the first city you will be thinking right? if a minor will win the major prize of course parent will help their child and will claim the prize with them. He gets the ticket via gift so therefore he did not violate the rule as for what I understand, it is just they needed a witness that will help them not to be punish because minors can't gamble.

I personally agree with you. The gambling scene has significantly popularized Las Vegas and Macau as the main gambling establishments to visit at least once in your lifetime. Though I very occasionally gamble, if I were given the opportunity to visit those renowned places, I would definitely take all the chances and experience its amenities and feel for the game.

Though I only hope that these well-known gambling establishments soon accept cryptocurrencies as an alternative payment to their games. That would definitely be the dream!

Anything below 18 years old age i personally regards as underaged while in gambling i also count 21 years old and below as underaged, this are age limits where by a child shouldn't be exposed to certain things like gambling than facing their studies and make useful opportunity out from their youthful age in learning good things, a child can play games at home, in school but not to start gambling at early stage of his life.

Yes since gambling involves the usage of real money anyone under 18 years of age should not be allowed to play gambling. Any minor person do not know the importance of money and it is likely chances that they could mis use the money of their parents.
Unfortunately, KYC is not fully implemented in all casino's and therefore many online gambling platforms the minors are able to play gamble without the gambling houses knowing who is playing behind the computer.

Gambling is an important tourism income for countries. It is a sector that has developed in Montenegro in the world in recent years. Also, the biggest reason for Monte Carlo's development is gambling. Montenegro may turn into a place like Monte Carlo in a few years. We see through these two examples that when this sector is used correctly, it contributes to the country's economy. Governments can benefit themselves if they approach this issue wisely. If I had the authority, I would enforce the least ban on gambling. If we impose fewer bans, we serve more people. And more people means more money. So maybe I would impose a daily money limit quota instead of a gambling age ban.

Nope, the one who purchase the ticket and has gifted it to the minor will not be sanctioned to any violation or crime as he is above the minimum age limit which is either 18 or 21 and above depending on the country. What is tricky is that if the minor who has been given the ticket that has won will be able to cash it out. This may vary on the casino as well as the regulation on the country about gifted ticket. Some may invalidate the ticket, some may allow it assuming the minor will have a proof that it was gifted. But to avoid any issue, the minor could just ask someone who is above the age limit to cash it out for him.

In my country the only official and allowed gambling category is the lottery which pays huge prizes, although it's almost impossible to win. Besides some lottery draws, scratch tickets are also allowed.

Theoreticallyyou have to be at least 18 years old in order to play, but I know underage teenagers who go to the lottery and buy their tickets without any restrictions. Maybe that is due to the informality of our daily life.

Good news is that there isn't a particular legislation for online gambling, so it is still possible to play virtual casinos without any issues with authorities.

In my country people can get to drink alcohol, hire sexual workers, buy tobacco and drive when we are 18 years old.
About the gambling tourism, here it is mostly inner tourism, I mean people who travel within the country to partake in gambling in cities where casinos are more common and better conditioned for the middle class and the wealthy, people with low income has the chance to bet and gamble in small establishments by buying tickets.
I am afraid in the international  gambling scenario we don't have anything special to attract foreign tourist to gamble here, so mostly the national casino industry survives thanks to the locals who have some extra money during their vacations to the coast line.

I think a person should be exposed to gambling in an early age but must be guided by their parents to discuss things about do's and don'ts of gambling.  Exposure doesn't necessarily mean engaging.  There is a huge difference between those two words.  Exposure in terms of education can highly build resistance to gambling addiction if done properly.  Many young adults got addicted to gambling because they had been forbidden to get exposed to such activity leaving them vulnerable when the time comes that they are allowed to venture into the gambling industry.


True, that is why my country is developing a vicinity near the sea to be a gambling destination.  I don't know if the area is fully developed now since I haven't visited it for 2 years due to the pandemic and lockdowns.

But we know that even on younger age and on the technology that we do have today then it is really hard to avoid them into various things not only on gambling but also in other things as well.You cant really able to

stop for them not to see those things and get involved with and even if you do really monitor them out then they would just simply be accessing into their mobile phones.This is why it would really be that

mindful on having that good parenting and guidance towards things and make them aware on what it is and whats the risk imposed on it.

As I always said there's no 100% effective way for these minors not to encounter gambling in their daily life. Even within their classroom or while playing with their friends, gambling has a chance to be involved in their topic.

For me, don't prevent encountering gambling but rather be open to them and discuss what gambling is. Trust those minors that they will be responsible if ever they will try to test the waters there because of their curiosity.

Anyway back to the topic, even though I'm a gambler it's not necessary for me to try gambling stuff in a certain country since I'd rather enjoy the beauty of that country because of the short timeframe of staying there.

in my country it is not a place where people travel just to go play, we have few casinos, despite gambling being allowed casinos are only frequented by rich people, on the other hand online gambling sites in my country have had a lot of customers, even some slot games that are in various corners of the city have had a lot of support, but it's a support coming from people from the middle and lower classes, but if we talk about tourists, I can say that many people have come to my country just to know the beaches, I think the owners of casinos in my country should moderate their prices to attract people of all classes and create more publicity to attract tourists

I think even though we shared here the information about gambling with those who will travel, that will not be a big help.

Personally, for me, I don't want to risk gambling in another country as a "tourist" there.

Basic knowledge is not enough for me to push doing gambling in other countries. It won't notice if there's something wrong I did.

You cant get on a cruise ship for few hours, you can get ticket for 4-365 day cruise. This is more like a vacation, where gambling is just an addition. Like when you stay for a week in a hotel in Turkey and there there are not a casino, but a place with slots and arcade machines.

Regards "gambling banned in your country" - there are days during cruise, when the ship is whole day in the sea/ocean. If you get a wifi (which cost a lot, like 20-50 bucks daily, and you have to buy "internet package for whole cruise) you are able to open any online casino site, as you are sort of a in a free territory :)

Las Vegas is really one of the most famous places that a gambler must visit, they say. It hosts many casinos that you can play with depending on your preference.  Las Vegas is famous for various resorts and casinos which offer premium services and games they can play in actual. I've seen many pictures and articles about Las Vegas gambling and casinos. If I'm not mistaken, most of the tax generated by Las Vegas comes from the casinos that operate.

Someday, I would love to visit it too if I'll have the chance and try some of the famous casino's house games. Because aside from the fact that gambling is fun, we can't deny that Las Vegas has a beautiful scenery as well especially during the night where neon lights signs are on. Personally, I find it pleasing to the eyes and it gives off a good and playful vibes. Indeed, gambling can be a source of flocks of tourists. Although it's important to have in mind as well to know the basics and rules before playing because you are just a tourist and you should be responsible to your actions. Ignorance doesn't excuse no one after all. It's always better to always be on your guard.

On paper we know that the legal age for gambling in most countries is from 18 - 21 years. But this is only on paper. Right now with the advent of online casinos, VPNs and a host of other new technologies that aids an individual in masking their true identity we really can't say for sure who is behind the computer or phone when the person visits an online casino. Even in land based casino's not all of there are strict with the age thing. For the OP's question, I don't think there is a hard or fast rule to this... the person's parent or guardian will stand in on their behalf.

Of course, with all the conveniences nowadays, it gives way for people to bet in online casinos. And even if they are in a country where offline gambling is prohibited, they can easily gamble using online casinos. Maybe the rules will still exist but only for people under 18-21 years old, so they shouldn't play gambling.

But if our country allows gambling games, I think we can review the casinos in our area to attract gamblers from outside our country to visit our place and play in that casino.

I don't think the casino will pay a minor if he manages to win the jackpot or even allow him to claim it when he reaches the right age. First of all, it is already stated on their law that gambling is illegal on their age. It would ruin the casinos reputation if they pay him and put them at risk if the authorities found out that they tolerate gambling at such a young age. Even if the parents of that child pushes to have his prize like telling them they give him the consent to gamble, the casino can just easily counter it with the gambling law on that country.

For example physical casinos are banned in Türkiye although you can play sports betting through government regulated websites. Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (which is unrecognized) permits gambling completely. So you can fly there through Türkiye and go to physical casinos and play all kinds of games. These are examples of my country. I think age limit in Türkiye for sports betting is probably high but they tend to not care a lot.

That's the given law in gambling. Minors are always prohibited to gamble so they will have a hard time or even can't claim their winnings in case they get the jackpot prize.  Casinos will still protect their reputation over the demand of their minor players. They should have known the law in the first place before betting. Parents who push their kids to gamble in our country usually face charges and might consider abuse. There's no way minors can claim their prize especially if the lottery company would ask for legal documents.

Yes so most of the time, if a minor won a lottery their parents will go to the branch to win the prize and the sad thing about that is their child who was the main winner will get less to nothing because in some countries like us parents will say that we are obliged to repay their hard work , but I hope some parents will still give higher portion to every minor who will the lottery, but it should be kept because minor will tend to gamble and gamble since they experience winning.

Not all parents will do that, maybe only some. Minors who win the lottery will still get their rights and parents become substitutes as recipients of lottery prizes and can be used for the needs of the child. But what about parental supervision when minors start gambling? Of course, parental supervision is very important. Profit if they win, but if they lose then more of their pocket money will be at stake just for gambling. Gambling is currently very easy to access, because gambling can be in anyone's hands. Parents should supervise their children.

That's a great collection of information and it's really interesting to see how different countries deal with gambling. I think different cultures certainly can accommodate it more easily than others, it's a great surprise to see somewhere like Japan is fairly restrictive about casinos and it's clearly just driven underground instead - feeding an even worse criminal element. I'm not sure I like the model of Singapore and Australia, because concentrating that much money into the hands of single companies feels too much like a monopoly, it has also been abused for things like money laundering that was discovered in one of Australia's biggest casinos and caused a huge scandal (you'd think it would be easy to detect with fewer outlets).

Most likely the kid will get nothing.

And as typically happening, the parents will have to keep the money for the kid and it's up to them if they'll give the kid a part or not. That will show how responsible parents they are.

They will give their kid the teaching about not to gamble but after claiming the money, that teaching might change based on what they are feeling because kids shouldn't really gamble.

But, the instance is different as it's a gifted ticket.

Different country have a different rules and regulation in terms of gambling even though they have this still it is an ideal to follow those rules but if you head forward for the gambling place this is the Gambling City of Las Vegas There are a lot.of top people and names came here just to seek a joy and excitement to them.

Actually this is one of my dream place in my bucket list.

I don’t see any relevance even if you gamble at an age of 18 above, because in our country that age should still focus on his studies, and not on gambling. You will only be good for gambling if you are already earning a living and become financially stable because in that stage, gambling will only be for fun and not for profit making. However, there are still minors who end up gambling most particularly in online casinos, and sad to say if they can’t be guided by their parents, they will fall definitely in gambling addiction.

Are the T/C's really different in other countries? Even in the same casino? I don't think so; how's that even possible?
Yunno,the means of operation must TALLY so as to be able to manage or stop loss. Every casino has a standard; whereupon this standards ain't following, then apparently, the opposite of the purpose of Creation is what they'll have.
Well, Les Vegas is a nice place for stable bettors and fun gamblers (yes, alot of people gamble fot the fun). The cost of living is high and anyone planning to visit VEGAS on residual purpose just for gambling, then I guess they should have got some heavy side income.

We just accept the fact that on every place, there's always the difference in talks about laws and regulation.For people or individuals then it would really be just a norm that we do have different state or
condition when it comes to finances or on things that we've been dealing.
Gambling is a huge industry and we know that Vegas is been known and popular but of course, lots had been wishing to go into that place but expect that the level or cost of living
and spending there would really be entirely too far off if you do came from developing countries.

Casinos becomes one of the tourist destination in many countries, and personally my dream is also to experience playing with those casinos. With those rules and regulations, some country might impose a stricter regulations in order to protect the interest of the public. If you feel not safe with those rules, then you can easily travel to gamble or you can also play online if the rules allows you, just choose the best option.

I agree such a law is very odd, where I live the law is incredibly simple, you need to be 18 years old in order to gamble and if you are not then you are not allowed to do it, so even if someone were to give a lottery ticket to someone that is underage at that moment that lottery ticket technically became invalid and no prize money will be paid in the case it won.

Now if such a a ticket actually won I doubt people will be as dumb as to try to make the minor to get the prize but at least I think the law makes more sense where I live.

This is really happening. In my country, there are too many Chinese tourists that are not just mainly focused on visiting our beautiful attractions. Many of them are here for the purpose of gambling. China's economy is becoming too huge and there are many more rich Chinese now than before. And with China's mainland banning gambling, it is normal for those rich Chinese to travel regularly for gambling purposes. The nearest places are Macau, Philippines, Singapore, and they are also even seen in Europe and US casinos.

People here have easy access to casinos and gambling places. Anyone can gamble here as long as they are 18 and above but I can't remember security guards checking our age maybe if your face looked very young and they will ask your age.

Gamblers mostly like to travel over the world.Because the people who like to do adventure will like the different set of gambling games.The like the trill of playing gambling.Expect few states,most of the States in US allow the casino and gambling.But they make some age limited to 18-21.The minimum age limit to make a equal game among the players.The people who attain of 18 ages will have some analytical knowledge as compared to low age people.Many outsiders can do gambling in Australia with the minimum of 18 years.Some people travel to Australia to enjoy the tourist place and the gambling.The county based on Muslim religion,almost not involved in the gambling as compared to other countries.

Las Vegas may be one of the gambling tourist destinations for people who love to gamble because it is a city that allows gambling. But we don't know what the regulations are in that city and I think you should know the rules first before you start coming to that city.

But I don't want to go to Las Vegas because, in my opinion, the city already has many local or foreign gamblers who want to gamble there. Perhaps other destinations would be more worthy of a visit.

Those gamblers who are adventurous will really love to travel and gamble at the same time if they have a spare time. Or to put it much better, these adventurous people really find time and make time just to gamble whenever they visit new places to experience the culture, tradition, and the norms of the spot they are in. I guess this gives them the sense of satisfaction and enjoyment knowing and actually getting to play the usual games and betting of the locals. It's a nice way to make your heart pumping as well and of course, to know new strategies and interact with the people in the community.

Those religious countries such as those largely populated by Muslims aren't really into gambling, that's right. Because they have beliefs and principles to uphold. They are conservative and they follow what's written in their Quran. Hence, you'll seldom see gambling tourist sites in those countries since gambling is a sin according to what they believe in. And we should respect that. There are many places that are liberated and an adventurous gambler would have fun to, such as in Las Vegas, Mexico, Macao, and so on.

In the first place, even if an unaware gambler went to Muslim countries where gambling is prohibited, they can't do gambling obviously because no gambling places around. Instead, they will just go there as a normal tourist and just enjoy the trip.

But you know, even in a place where gambling is illegal, there are culprits that can operate gambling under the shadow. Although I doubt an unaware gambler will just easily play on those as that was hard to find in a country where gambling is illegal.

That is if that specific country will let the parents claim the prize because it's minor who won in the first place, minor is prohibited to gamble, so in most cases, the prize is not claimable. But given the scenario above, most of the time, parents will just ask their kid what they wanted, and they will buy it for them as a consolation and the rest will be set aside and is up to the parent's decision what to do about it.

The rules of each casino will indeed vary depending on which country they are in. One of the largest casinos in the world, Winstar World Casino, is the largest casino in the world in the United States. it is a place that everyone who loves gambling really wants to visit and becomes an adult tourist destination who will be spoiled with various kinds of casino games that adults can play. certain rules will be applied. but the euphoria of playing live at a gambling place can't be beat with an online casino.

Yes, each country and sometimes each province or state have their own set or rules that is why if you're planning to gambling in that specific place, it's much better to read up their rules first to have some first hand knowledge before going. And I agree, if you have a lot of money and a good entertainment then Las Vegas is indeed the place to be or Macau as they are also known as Las Vegas of Asia.

It is important to be aware of the local laws of the places we visit, not only when it comes to gambling but to many of the behaviors which may be legal where we live but which are illegal at the place we are currently in.

And we must remember as well that laws can be different now only when it comes to countries but even when it comes to states, as there have been cases of people which got into a lot of trouble because they were living in a state in which the consumption of cannabis was legal but then they passed the border of a state in which it was illegal, then they got arrested for some other reason and then they were found with a lot of cannabis on them and  had to spend some time in jail because of their mistake.

I am pretty sure the lottery company will have to pay no matter what. As long as the ticket was bought by a person that is at least 18 years old there is no issue. I remember me and my sister got a one year lottery ticket from my uncle for christmas. We had a fixed number that we could check every week for possible winnings. In 52 weeks I managed to win two times a small amount, and even though I was only 14/15 years old back then I had no problem getting my winnings in the shop without my parents. Winning the jackpot would be very different of course, for the millions you need to directly contact the company and even decide if you want all the money at once, or fixed monthly payout. For that you definitely need your parents to sign the contracts in your name. But the lottery company can't withhold the money from you. So far my gambling highlight was in Las Vegas, seeing all these amazing casino from the inside was an great vacation and I hope to go there again eventually. My next gambling vacation is going to be in Macau, I really want to see the difference between the Asian gambling atmosphere and the European/American one.

Maybe if it's a small win, the casino or shop that provides the lottery will pay you.
But for big casinos, I think they will think twice if you can win a big amount of money, especially if you are under 18 years old.
Winning the jackpot for adults will be very exciting because they can use the money for various things.
But it will be different if the winner is a child who is not even 18 years old because there is a prohibition on gambling, not for children.

Las Vegas is a very shiny place, its luster is very attractive to the people of the world as a tourist holiday destination.
a very sparkling city and very interesting for many people to visit it, including for me personally. maybe if there is a chance and luck, I will explore Las Vegas as the main destination.

For gambling destinations in Asia, I have visited several. Basically I am very excited when I visit several countries that have casino cities, such as Macau, Genting Malaysia, Marina Bay Sands Casino Singapore. but I have never visited from all the list of casinos that you show except Macau and Singapore.

I agree with you.  I also really want to go to Las Vegas.

Gambling in Las Vegas is cool.  Life should be like an interesting adventure.  And an interesting adventure is storytelling.  If you have a lot of interesting stories, it means that you live an interesting, rich life.  You can come to Las Vegas, play in the casino and this is an exciting adventure!  Many interesting stories can be told about this.  And you know, last summer I went to las vegas, played in the casino there, lost a lot of money ....

This is a good start for an interesting story that you can tell a beautiful girl.

I agree with you, for me Las Vegas is a gambling paradise with all those big casinos, I haven't had the opportunity to go there, but honestly when I go, I have to go and play, I hope I have a lot of money to spend and I don't It hurts me to spend it, and I have as a premise that the money you take to a casino is to have fun and to spend it however you want, that is why at that time I will not be ashamed to use it however I want, for me what I am most looking for in a casino is to be able to feel that emotion, that adrenaline that the game produces, the feeling that you can win a lot, and that those spectacular memories remain, like the music, the people who are there, that is, everything.

Well, the truth is that one day I would like to visit Singapore, Singapore has always caught my attention, Macaw too, obviously when we think of Las Vegas it is something more like a dream implemented by all the movies that have to do with that beautiful State of the USA , for me it is like a total world of pure casinos, however to do tourism in Las Vegas is something that would be very exciting, not only for the casinos, but for everything they contain, in Las Vegas I think they never sleep, they must be something similar to New York, which many also long to have as a tourist destination and to get to know some of the casinos there.

If you are really that a gambler specially if you do get fond of going into physical casinos then you would definitely be having these kind of wishes which i cant really be that surprised specially into those known places where gamblers do really wish to go.Who would be the ones will be forgetting nor ignore on going to Las Vegas? If we do have just the money then it wont really be that a problem on going
to various places but since we are financially non capable then its not surprising that you would definitely be going there.
About legal age? It would be commonly on 18 or 21.Does depend on countries laws and regulations.

If there's a chance that I can get in Las Vegas I grab the opportunity this is the reason why people who visit this place they never skip to go to the different gambling casinos because they want to know and experience what kind of ambience and environment they will see there, I don't know if they have a restriction like it is open to the public or the people must need to show off or buy token first before going inside the casino it is good if someone answer this thing that already experience inside the gambling casino.

Sounds like a plan! By the way, have you ever thought about actually doing this? After all, if you want it so much, why not? As I understand the approximate budget (minimum) for a trip there will be around 5k dollars (or am I mistaken?)? I'm not from the US and don't know the prices there. But if I wanted to go there so badly, I would start by finding out exactly how much money I need for this.

The majority of countries where gambling is legal have adopted 18 years old and 21 years for someone to play legally here is the complete list of countries where gambling is legal and at what age they allow individuals to gamble

For a Vegas trip, I'm pretty sure it's not enough since $5k budget can only pay for your airfare, foods, hotel and transpo so technically you should have other budget for your gambling activities. This is also my dream, to gamble in other country and honestly, my first goal is to go to Macau for now and gamble there, I heard a good reviews of casinos there and it's really one of the tourist spot as well. Anyway, other countries have a lot of restriction with regards to gambling, the age limit should be a concern here and the campaign of the government against illegal gambling should be more strict.

I have a friend working as a manager at McDonalds in Las Vegas. I was tempted to visit there but I also do not want to spend a lot of money gambling there. There are great casinos in my place where I can spend less. But if I can earn some extra money, I will go there and feel the extra vibes. Without including the travel expenses going in and out of Las Vegas, $5k budget will do. Cheap rooms are not too pricey, there are $50 to $100 per night and they are good rooms in good hotels after all. That is a good amount already to hop on to different casinos, gamble some of it and grab some beer.

Las Vegas is famous when it comes to gambling games. Almost the majority of people who went here are really rich people, as far as I know, please correct me if I'm saying something wrong. And what you said is also true that different regulations apply in each country when it comes to operating gambling.

And most countries are making lottery and casinos legal, whether it's land-based or online. But anyway, if that is one of your dreams, let's let time tell you the answer to that matter. :)

That's the thing, if you're going on vacation there are people who would like to spend a lot on most of their trips especially for foods and accommodation however it shouldn't always be the case. You can just find some hotels outside the casino which is almost as good so that you'll have more funds for other things like gambling. If you've come to Las Vegas to gamble, it's better to save some of your expenses on other things so you'll have more funds to gambling activities. I'm sure 5k USD is more than enough for your flight, accommodation, foods and gambling leisures.

Anyways, if a person is traveling to a place where really known for something popular, it's obvious that they should visit the highlights of that travel.

For example, Las Vegas and as you mentioned, is famous for casinos, even a non-gambler will surely try to visit one of the casinos there.

But for a place that has another attraction or is well-known for, don't prioritize looking for a casino there just because you/we are a gambler.

Yes, specific locations have got Casinos. While visiting those locations having fun on those casinos is good rather than looking for a casino where ancient civilization or something else is the attraction.

When it comes to physical Casinos, it is always good to spend on the games in which you've got some idea. People just go and spend even without knowing what is the game, such things shouldn't be done.

We all have reason to travel and visit other country, if it’s included in your itinerary then why not, I guess you really have to plan your visit every time you travel so you can maximize your time and spend your time well on that foreign country. I agree that If it’s a tourist spot, then it’s a good experience to try but if you are not a gambler, you can easily learn how to play slots and other gambling games.

Really? I thought countries' rules are already being applied automatically to all states and provinces but thanks for the heads up. I am actually planning to travel on this one country and to play gambling is one of the activities that I want to do. Now I know what to do.

I will check this specific province or state if what are their rules in gambling like if they have a dress code or something so that I won't waste time, effort and money for traveling on that gambling place. There might be good sceneries in Las Vegas and Macau other than gambling right? I might check them out too soon if I have saved up a good amount of money again but for now, I am set to travel on other countries.

It is interesting that in some countries ... tourist of a younger age of the allowed age ...are allowed to gamble. It shows us that they are more worried about the income... than the protection of children against gambling addiction.  ::)

How is a younger person of another country any different than the young people in your own country?  ::)  In my country, the gambling age is 18, no matter what country you originate from. It just cause confusion, because some people have dual citizenship ..and they can circumvent this gambling restriction with that.

And suppose Las Vegas is your vacation destination. In that case, you can just visit the casino and play there to feel a different atmosphere from playing online gambling. Of course, you will meet various people who like gambling. But you have to remember that you are on vacation and if you don't bring a lot of money while on vacation, it's better not to try playing at an offline casino because you can forget to manage your expenses. But if you just want to know the difference between gambling in Las Vegas and your place, maybe it can be done responsibly.

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_age.

Nearly all countries imposed the minimum 18-21 year-old age limit rules for gambling. Communist China and many Muslim countries banned gambling. Okay, I find this interesting. Countries that have no minimum age limit on gambling are poor and developing counties, except the UK. I never thought the UK would allow everyone to just gamble. Another interesting find is Afghanistan where gambling is illegal but online gambling is legal at any age (I have a feeling wiki is wrong on this one).

I think anything below 18yrs for a child is regarded to be underaged and this is commonly applicable to most countries and nowadays, I've begin to see children below 18yrs going to gambling location to place bet, yet the casino operators will not denied them access to gamble because they want to make money, some children will actually be sent by their parents, especially some addicted fathers, these are oart of the challenges encountered and many factors have contributed to it, the parents, the casinos, the environment and the age at which these children got exposed to gambling.

I used to gamble before I turned 18. Yes, I made many mistakes at that time, but not because I was too young, but because most of us learn only through personal experience. It really doesn't matter if you're 16 or 30 and decide to test the Martingale strategy on your own experience. After one or more major losses you'll realize that it doesn't work as you'd like it to. And nowadays, when everyone has a phone with the Internet, bypassing age restrictions is easy.

Gambling is naturally growing and this Online gambling has contributed a lot where we can see young ages are joining and gambling. Offline casinos cater mostly to young adults, adults, and oldies where they found themselves happy together with their friends. That is to see that the gambling business is growing as well knowing that there are a lot of people somewhat looking for a place to stay especially those who wanted to relax and enjoy themselves. In fact, even though kids are illegally doing this now, it really creates an influence on young minds.

Gambling online and at physical casinos will really give the gambler different feelings and experience. The ambiance and the vibe of playing online is far different than playing in actual. For those introvert gamblers, they prefer to be inside the comfort of their homes instead of actually interacting with people so playing online in gambling website could help them focus and enjoy more. Meanwhile, for those extroverts and those people who prefer the feeling and ambiance of a casino vibe, Las Vegas casino spots might be their thing to try on because of the looks of the place and the machines and the interaction between gamblers as well.

As a tourist, you must really be responsible for the money you'll spend because you are in a place unfamiliar with. If ever you run out of cash, you can't just go home and get some. Remember, the process of exchanging money is a hassle too, so if you will spend all of your pocket money in gambling, it will probably cause you trouble. Hence, you should establish boundary beforehand if you plan to try and play inside an actual casino establishment.

I also started gambling when I was 17. I was aggressive when it comes to decision-making in gambling before since I wasn't using my own money in betting. I didn't mind losing all the time since that wasn't my hard-earned money but I learned how to control myself from too much betting when I started using my own salary. We could start gambling at a young age but we should expect that we can commit mistakes due to immaturity but those experiences will also serve as a lesson for us to grow and mature and be mindful of the risks of gambling.

These days the trend of online gambling is growing too much and i think physical gambling casinos are losing interest. Most people have shifted to online gambling during the covid days and now they are comfortable gambling at the comfort of their home. For this reason, I don't think tourists think of visiting gambling casinos to experience different gambling casinos at different places.

As far as legal age for the gambling is concern, it is also now not a big deal as in online gambling you will never know who is sitting at the backend of the computer playing gambling. Even though some casino will make KYC mandatory but then again a parent doing a KYC and his son may be sitting in front of the computer and using the parent's account. The control and restrictions on gambling age is also getting weaker due to online gambling.

If you think that $5k is not enough, then you probably keep some other amount in your head when you talk about it? 6k? 50k? At least tell me approximately, I personally have no thoughts on this matter, but such an idea is generally interesting. Visiting Macau is an interesting idea and it would be cheaper for me, but still the USA is a more interesting country, and besides, there is a crisis in China, I don’t know how safe it is to go there.

It is important to remember that just making mistakes is not enough to learn from them, we need to recognize that we did something wrong and then try to change our behavior.

It is because of this lack of introspection that we see so many people making the same mistakes and never learning from them, so it is a good thing you could eventually learn such an important lesson as it will not only serve you when you gamble but in a lot of other aspects of your life.

The article seems Good , but visiting a country just to gamble means a lot for a big time gambler , meaning they will going to visit a site that has a best to deliver and offer.

Macao and Las Vegas is on the top and If i were to be given chance? that 2 places in which i am going to spend all my gambling money.


But thanks for the link , visiting this because I am going to bring my Son the next trip and surely will add Him to partner me in playing.

Yes, the truth is that if I go on a trip and go sightseeing, I don't even think about gambling, not even in the casino. For me playing poker, which is 99% of my gambling, is like a job, it is a regular activity that I do to earn money. So if I go on vacation I think about tourism, not about working. The only exceptions would be, as you say, going to Macau or Las Vegas, where I would go to the casinos, of course.

My country is not on that list nor is it a place that gamblers will visit because it is not the right one or friendly for gamblers.
If anything in my country was reserved for gambling anyway it wouldn't be a place for me to visit, not even other places abroad, like Las Vegas or Macau, don't like to travel because want to gamble.
Places like that must be very crowded and don't like crowds especially to gamble openly even in the places that have been provided

Well me in particular if you want to see Las Vegas because even in the best movies the big casinos appear and that is something that I have wanted to know since I was a child, of course I even swore a little, although I think that my chances of winning there I don't know how good they are, but I think he would be amazed at everything he could see there, people in the USA and in Europe have great privileges and great freedoms, it really is something that they like, if that makes them happy I like it, in some moment I would like to have that opportunity, I imagine that there are many casinos in a row, it would be a sensational experience.

I've never been to the USA, but wow is $5k not enough? I know that things in the USA are a bit heavy because of all the war tabor that there is, however I have heard that to go to the USA it is not so much money that is spent, the meals and some things are cheap, the lodgings if I know that there are many expensive ones and it is very difficult to go and live there because of all that you have to pay for services and things like that, I believe that, despite everything, it is a country that moves thousands and thousands of dollars and that there will always be a way to resurface for people, especially for those in the third world, it is becoming more expensive, the most important thing is that in the USA there is inflation that continues to increase its levels.

I have not been to the US either and I would be interested to see information from those who were there. It is clear that you can spend any amount if you wish, since all people have different concepts of minimum comfort, but it seems to me that even residents of third countries can quite save up for such a trip if they set such a goal.For example, for me, the most expensive part of the trip will most likely be air travel (I will have to fly from Europe). For those who live at least in Latin America or Canada, such a trip will generally be much cheaper.

You got the right intentions for this, gambling continues even while being a tourist, there are several places with opportunities about the type of gambling games they enjoy, being a tourist will ooennyou to their varieties in numbers compare to where you're coming from and the ones you've been used to.


But i must be frank here that this can only got your son involved it he's not an underaged child, except you will limit his participation to only playing games and not gambling, but it will always be a thing of fun being a tourist together with the family to enjoy gambling.

Been to Macau a few times, most importantly before the pandemic, and I can tell you that it's not as crowded as they like to make it to be in documentaries or even movies. There are a lot of people but certainly not crowded, and you can even hop to a few other gambling platforms in there and notice that not a lot of people can be found inside the big casino names (Venetian, Lisboa, etc.). Most of the tourists in there are there to take pictures and stuff, and not play in these casinos so you might want to consider playing there and have a good time even for just a few hundred bucks.


The only places that are cheap to visit in the US are the remote states from the big cities (the Midwest, some states in the south, and some places in Cali) but you can obviously not get some gambling experience on these places. You might see some slot machines on the side of some convenience stores but it's as shady as it can get. If you want the best experience, Vegas is obviously the go-to option for you, and I can tell you, $5k is enough to experience literally almost everything there, excluding your hotel stay, airplane tickets, and other such things, of course.

Sometimes we don't know how it feels like using our own money to gamble and losing continually. It is very painful when you use your own fund to gamble and later lose everything because of the mistakes or lack of knowledge in playing in a particular way that could bring morr profits.
It is very obvious that we gamble most time without having in mode that we may be doing that at the wrong time. Children area never meant to gamble but in a covilise world where law is not that strong to make people to stick to law enforcement that will guide then through there actions.

So you know that such case has made many people to quit from gambling, gamble have to things either you lose or you gain, and that is why is good for someone to be careful and calculate well before going into gambling , and secondly those people who gamble with borrowed money, I'm sorry for them and those people are the people are people who goes into depression, because of the pain, so i will advice to gamble with your money so that when you lost it, you will think and know were the fault come from.

You could rightly say, the meanor never gambled. I don't know what the rules are like but, its not like this meanor was taken all the way to the lottery store or something. It was just gifted to him or her and there are chances that, the meanor doesn't even under stand what he or she holds but, is buying a lottery ticket really gambling? Its not like your predicting any event but simply taking chances.
If I were to decide over such situation of a gift lottery ticket, I'll probably allow the meanor have his or her win. What's the point waiting till 18 or whatever age is considered legal. It could be voided as well if its wrong.

Gambling is a complex topic and regulations vary greatly from country to country (due to various traditional/cultural/religious reasons), but I would like to know in which country is lottery not gambling? Wiki says that lotteries have been held in Europe since the 15th century, and scientists believe that they were in a slightly different form much earlier - in the days of ancient Greece. And it has always been considered a game of chance, since the distribution of profit or loss is carried out randomly.
And you probably heard about instant lotteries? When you have to buy a ticket, erase the protective layer and see the result. What is this if not pure gambling?

we have the same thoughts about Vacation and about gambling activities , and besides if we are going to a vacation at least we will be with our love ones that will surely wanted to explore the special places in that said country and not to explore casinos that there are also in our own country  ;D

but I want to have that thing , treating gambling as a Job? maybe I need to extend my interest in gambling and not just a place to enjoy and a bonus to win.

There are really some countries or states in the US that casino is one of their tourist attraction and mostly, it's the reason why people visits that specific country even if you're with or without your family. Like for example Las Vegas and Macau, you can't really enjoy and leave the place without experiencing their casinos there but gambling should not be define as a way to make your pockets heavier and bigger because if that's your goal then I guess in most times, you'll get the opposite thing. Make it as a way of entertaining yourselves and your fellow family members so that you won't have a heavy heart when you lost the gamble because your first true aim is to get entertained, getting profits out of it is just a bonus.

And maybe if an extroverted gambler goes on vacation to Las Vegas, they'll visit a physical casino to see what it would be like if they gambled for real in front of a large crowd. Maybe they will be curious about the taste and experience so that it could happen to them because apart from being able to gamble for real in front of many people, they can also chat with them while sharing stories about each other's experiences.

And yes, as a tourist, we should really be able to allocate the funds we bring and never use more money to gamble if we can't afford to see defeat. And remember, gambling in physical casinos can make you forget your goal of gambling in physical casinos and want to continue because of the various feelings that come to you.

If you are an avid fan of gambling then yes, you will consider visiting those gambling places but if not then you won't really bother checking them out. There are also two types of tourists. One is traveling there for other reasons but they may still play gambling only to extend that fun feeling they are experiencing when traveling. And the other one travels there for the main purpose of gambling.

This means they prepare a good amount of capital and their goal is only to win big. This is wrong for the most of us but what can we do? Nothing, as that was their money and I think they already know the consequence in case they didn't get lucky.

Even going to a vacation with your family, if you really want to pay a visit to a casino, you can do it. After your tour within the day, and while others are falling asleep.

You can do the exploration or visit during at night for which most are visiting after the tiring day and from their day jobs.

Just don't forget to set yourself with a limit and you still have some nice places to visit by tomorrow so, you still have funds by that time.

It is most certain to me that the most accepted gambling age is from 18 years old and above, but incase any gambler finds himself in a city with a higher accepted gambling age, and that gambler is not up to the accepted age, then i find it wise to stay off their casinos there as breaking this rule might not just put you in trouble, but also the casino that allowed you to play might also have to face the wrath of the law.

So my simple advice to every gambler out here and there is that, if you find out you are not up to the accepted gambling age of a jurisdiction you find yourself, then dont gamble, because if you win, you might not get paid, and depending on your age, you can even be arrested and asked to pay a fine, as well as the casino that allowed you play.

This is not the best excuse or action we cam take if we eventually fall in this kind of condition. This is why it's not too good for a person to fall victim or become too addicted to gambling because everything we do here, they all have consequences and if we don't try as much to be ourselves.
I don't see it as a normal thing for some on a journey like your to be controlled by the gambling and now leave his family to look for a way to bet and fill the curiosity.

Who says to you that the person is addicted already if he tends to visit a casino during a trip? It's just for experience as they will never know if there's a chance to visit that place again. As much as possible explore and visit those places if they can.

You are killing the enjoyment of that person. Not because they will visit a casino during a trip, it's already an addictive action for them.

Enjoy your life mate and don't be too serious.

Well without going too far, I have a friend, who is an influencer, and because she is Venezuelan, a few months ago she decided to go to Mexico, because she wanted to go to Cancun, and not only for the beaches, she also wanted to go and enjoy of good places, nightlife, casinos, and good life, then it was found that she did not know that they required a visa to enter Mexico, which kept her for several days, the fact is, that the police there did not believe her that she did not know that they were requesting a visa, that she would never throw herself at another daddy like that, and if they were that strict with her, I would not have imagined that they would have caught her inside a casino with all the regulations there are.

Yes, but how to say no, if it's Las Vegas, we even make it known in the movies, in my particular case I would like to go there one day and play, it doesn't matter, I know I don't have the betting power like the biggest gamblers there, but I want to feel that adrenaline and that emotion caused by betting there, it is something that I know is priceless, maybe one day it can happen, however I rescue what you say, this is better seen as entertainment and not like to win and see it as an inevitable pressure, it is something that we must meet in our heads that we are going to play what we allow ourselves to lose and enjoy.


You are absolutely right, I am a person who is dazzled by everything he sees, and everything, the music, the girls, the drink, all that makes the casino something of a wonderful experience, but you should not lose the North, we should always aim at what is really convenient for us, not to lose control, to maintain our balance and without making decisions that affect our economy, in my case I could not go crazy there, because it would be irresponsible, it is something that it is not within my capacity to do anything crazy, because being in another country implies behavior, and that is what defines us as people who are very responsible for their actions.

Ahhhh of course the night time is the perfect time to visit such places.
I remember one time when me and my wife (she was my fiancée that time) visit the huge city and I can't help my self but astonished by the night lights that surrounds to one of the most prestigious casino in the country.
I wanted to pay a visit, but time was not on our side that time.  
A lot of tourists pays a worthy visit in this hotel/casino/resort.  A perfect spot for a family tour right? The casino only allows 21 years and above. So, the kids will enjoy the resort while you're having fun inside the casino lol.

Well, not only in gambling, but even in different aspects people with less experience usually end up making mistakes, but those mistakes can be corrected later on as everyone can be shaped up from different experiences. Most probably in gambling where newbies turn to be pros and experts as they gained more skills and strategies from their previous mistakes and losses in gambling. Also, if you tend to be a responsible gambler, better to follow the rules not only when it comes to age allowed to gamble, but also those crucial rules that you should know before you go into gambling casinos.

Sounds like you're just going in for some entertainment then it is much better if you'll let your family join you or at least ask them who wanted to go with, so that you can plan your scheds ahead and there won't be schedules to suffer. Just remember, in a family vacation, family must come first.
But if no one wanted to join you on the trip to casino then that scenario you gave above will be perfect.

Well for example if you go to Las Vegas and book a hotel then definitely you can just walk with your families and be astonished with the night lights and maybe visit some casinos along the way. It doesn't necessary you have to gamble or something, maybe you and your wife or with someone else can go inside.

However, if you have kids then you to put them to sleep in the hotel first or have someone older of the kids to watch over the younger one. A good 1-2 hours of visit to a casino is not that bad and you can go back to hotel afer that. At least the experience is part of the travel,  ;D

Recently, you can come across the phrase that the problem of gambling addiction is one of the most urgent in the world. Gambling machines are a threat to modern society. We want to ask what happened to mass epidemics, bloody wars, and food and water shortages in developing countries, which take away millions of lives annually? Are there no bigger problems left? Of course, automaton robots have long appeared in various scary movies, but they are usually armed with blasters and can shoot plasma out of their eyes; why are gaming robots so scary? I've been earning good money for a year now, thanks to https://parimatchbet.in/, and I don't notice any fear. Except only in the beginning.

And if you are a person who can be fascinated by the situation around you, maybe it's a good idea not to go to places that can make you forget your goals, especially gambling so you don't have to lose a lot of money playing gambling. We should really pay attention to this for our own good because after all, we want to visit other places and enjoy our time of visit without creating new problems there. In addition, we are in a different place from where we are so maybe we will be fascinated easily so that we can forget what we want to do. And yes, we must be responsible for what we do while in that place so that there are no problems that will occur later.

Maybe this was a problem on the 70s or the 80s as touristic spots like Las Vegas were completely geared towards gamblers and to no other demographic.

But since then the casino owners realized that if they wanted to obtain more profits they needed to make their casinos more family friendly, and it is why last Vegas casinos offer all kind of attractions and different shows so all the family can have a good time, and while the casino itself still brings the majority of their profits, they offer so much more than just gambling that there are many families that go to Las Vegas and yet the parents could have a great time without gambling a single night at the casino.

Gambling has no age!

In fact, we have been gambling since childhood. We bet on football, basketball or a different type of sport with our friends. Any drink or chocolate, chips, etc. we play games in exchange for things.  In this way, the desire to gamble is formed for everyone from an early age. Therefore, there is no need to be an obligation to play at older ages on betting platforms either. Therefore, there is no need to be an obligation to play at older ages on betting platforms either. As a result, people at this age are not likely to think wisely. Because they have just come out of adolescence, they may not make the right decisions and may owe too much.

But lets talk literally into those gambling casinos neither offline or online which this is talking literally on playing out games which we know that there are really indeed prohibitions.
Just like on what we do see on alcohol or beverages that do always remind about the exact age would be neither on 18-21 depending on which country but we do know
in reality that engaging on earlier years or age is something that cant really be stopped as long these things are really that can be accessed or be bought up.
Lets just face up the reality though yet it could really that happen.

This is correct. Some land based casinos have some areas specifically for entertainment purposes. There's even a spot for restaurants and food. And many more...

That is to attract other people to visit the casino place, either local or foreign.

Casino places is also giving a benefit to country's tourism making it a popular place to visit by those travellers.

There's not much of a gambling in my country but you can always visit if you like since most tourist who comes here are after the beach or for vacation and tourist spots that me myself would still be amazed how great it is. Gambling in my country is a little different although it's almost the same as the other country as long as it has a permit and the players should have at least in a legal age. And if you guys seen by the authority somewhere playing gambling it will cost you a fine if gets caught at least for the first time.

Unfortunately, I am from a third world country, and even though I have traveled to many countries, I have never been able to go to Europe or the USA, and since there are so many problems today with migrants who arrive in the USA using the Darien jungle and all that, I think that the USA for now will have much more betates to citizens of South America, the only way I think they will go is because they request my services for my profession, but I don't want to either, because I know that life in those countries is becoming very hard, the high inflation and the war drums is something that you cannot avoid, however, in my country things are very hard, but I know how to get along here and the best thing is that I am in my own country and I know that there are no problems of Xenophobia, some One day I plan to go, but for now it is very difficult.


Well, the truth is, I didn't know that in Las Vegas there was this guy of entertainment for the whole family, and yes, if they have a family tinge, it could go much better, the idea wasn't bad, and honestly, it's something that opens up a superior market. bearing in mind that the main premise is money, if everyone enjoys it, they can make more profits for the casino, and obviously with the whole family, they can bet, lose and nothing happens, with those small losses the casino will capitalize very quickly and it will never go bankrupt, that's something very interesting, very intelligent, and very Las Vegas, they honestly know how to reach people.

something I commented on in this thread is that I later saw a situation in my country that shocked me, when a person travels with their family, that person is supposed to devote all their attention to the family. now if the person every day plays in online casinos and travels and wants to know the physical casino it might even make sense to take the family to the casino and spend some time at the casino while he shows the family all the games he plays at the casino, but if the person travels with the family arrives at the casino and starts playing until late and goes back to where the family is, honestly this behavior is not good. tourist travel is not for people to play games like they do every day


The truth is that few countries in the world have casinos that are a real tourist attraction. for example macau casinos

https://cdn-images.rtp.pt/icm/noticias/images/41/41024f7390e175cfade7db9df1dd4cbb?w=860&q=90&rect=0,0,711,390

anyone who likes gambling when traveling to macau will be tempted or curious to want to know these macau casinos, but I doubt that anyone would want to leave the USA and arrive in my country for tourism and then go to the casino do my country knowing that my country's casinos are not very beautiful and luxury casinos, so that person who came from the USA to my country will choose to go to the beaches of my country, this question of traveling and knowing a casino will depend on what kind of casino has in this country, and there are few countries that have luxury casinos that are tourist attraction


I wonder if guys who go to physical casinos and start drinking alcohol how do they manage to stay focused on the game? besides alcohol in certain casinos there are women with little clothes, these women with little clothes are employees of the casino, will the guys who are going to play in the casino seeing these women with little clothes be able to concentrate on the game? as I've never been to a physical casino I can't get answers to these two questions

I am not regular at physical casinos but I do visit sometimes and play. I don't mind having a drink when I am only playing at those slot machines and some games that are purely for luck. Poker players and strategy games are most likely the ones to avoid drinking because they might lose their concentration.

I haven't been to a casino with very sexy women. I wonder how it feels to be in a casino like that. But probably it won't bother me much since I know in advance that I cannot take them out anyways. :D

Yiu can be right to a certain limit because the gambling we do while young is just a mere child's play to compare to the present days gambling that involved money, children count gambling as playing games, guessing and having fun through the means with each others but today's gambling advanced system cannot be compared to the old childhood one, if the children got exposed at early age this present dispensation then it will affect their way of life negatively since there are alot of things to consider for children at early stage than gambling, government also restrict children below the age of 18yrs as underaged for participating in gambling.

Same I don't come to a physical casino very often. I do play blackjack as my go to when I go to a physical casino, I also don't intend to win big since I go there to just relax and just sipping a small amount of alcohol won't do much to me so yes I sometimes go there to get my own relaxation. I don't know but I haven't seen much sexy woman on the casino that I am playing, or those girls that has little clothes in them. Do you guys think it's normal to a physical casino that don't have much girls in it? If there are some sexy girls I'm sure that it will be a head turner for gamblers and somehow lose focus to the game they are playing.
