I have just discovered my son ,14 years old  gambling in this site.

How dare you letting Kids register into your site.

How can i report this site as It is illegal  for Kids to gamble and its illegal for casinos to accento minors.

I'm not even sure why this site is operating in England without a UK license.

I'm looking for your license to report your site but I can't find it anywhere.

I'm furious., u have not shame..

Can someone advise me where to report this casino?

This is the wrong section. Move this to Gambling by using the button in the bottom-left.

Your kid was gambling on the site? Seems like something you need to discuss with him, first.

There are a lot of casinos that don't require KYC until you withdraw. In fact, if you want an example of a fiat casino that does exactly that, take a look at Mr. Green.
One problem with the internet is that almost anyone can access these sites... if you want to report it due to it being unregulated in the UK, you could try, but the odds of anything actually happening are probably very slim.

Probably your son did not read the Term of Service (https://luckyfishgames.com/terms-of-service/) of that site. This was clearly stated on their ToS or you might read this.


Anyone can access online gambling casino and most of them didn't require KYC upon using the site unless if you don't have a huge amount that exists to the limit that should pass KYC.

Anyway, who gives you an idea that you brought that concern here?

First of all.

Any website, platform and other things even a game cannot handle a visitor casino under or more than 18+. Is an internet, every parent needs to monitor your kid's activity I think the best thing you can do is to set up your google account for monitoring and linked your kids a smartphone or electronic with your account to limit your kid's activity. Sometimes on game or website registration, we need to fill up the information of date birth, your kids can lie to the registration phase for passing all of them.

The casino cannot know their customer age before the customer doing verification for their account, so if the casino knows the customer age after they doing a KYC. They will be terminate your kids account but only after he did an KYC.

Talk to your son. The internet is so vast and your son can discover other things much worst than that.

Reporting the site to the authorities won't also help. We are talking about a "crypto-related gambling site" here.

That's why you need to do everything to educate your child. That's part of the parent's role in the first place.

I understand your frustration. A 14 year old kid shouldn't be gambling in any way. However, you have to understand the limitations of online casinos. If a visitor enters his details posing as an adult, there's no way for a casino to catch that a minor is using their website. Same goes for porn sites as well. Also kyc is not mandatory in crypto related gambling websites unless a player requests for a big withdrawal.

What you can do at this moment is probably start counseling your son and try to understand why he started gambling at this young age. Understanding root cause is really needed here. Reporting a gambling website to the authorities will not solve your problem. There are 100 of such gambling websites available which can be operated without kyc. So you son can simply move to other one. So counseling is the best option that I see at this moment!

If I was in your position, I would first ask my son how did he find the site. Next, I would monitor his activities for it to not happen again.

There are lots of possibilities as to why this happened in the first place. Most of us don't even read ToS on sites and services that we frequent, or your child is just looking for games to play and stumbled upon the site on the Google searches. At that age, children are curious on a lot of things, and by that I mean a lot.

There's nothing you can do on this matter except blocking the site on your child's computer or just monitor his surfing activities. Most crypto casinos cater people regardless of their identity and most of them don't require KYC either.

The thing with most casino sites is, the just ask you if you are 18 but don't actually verify it. Especially at the age of 14 boys want to rebel against the system and faking their birth date just seems kind of not so bad compared to other things possible at that age (alcohol and drugs). It would be good for you to monitor the online activity of your son to really see whats going on. Better not to rely on good corporate governance.

Most anonymous casinos has no ways to check the age of their users as the only way to verify user's age is by KYC while anonymous casinos does not ask KYC.
As a parent you should be able to teach and control your son especially in his online activities.
Not only about gambling but also other things such as his social media to avoid something bad because of your son's curiousity about something new.
I do not even think that reporting the casino will solve the problem, the main problem is on your son.
So better to focus on controlling your son, tell him which one is good which one is not for his age.

I can imagine how much this upsets you as the father of a 14-year-old son, but I wouldn't blame the casino. The casinos can hardly protect themselves against it, if they did, you would have to ask for KYC at registration (can of course be faked just as easily), that would deter players. Is thus for the casinos a very double-edged sword, they have legally quite simply secured themselves by explicitly excluding minors in their Terms of Services.

However, I can advise you to better secure your network at home. There are tools and services such as https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/ with which you can easily secure your own WLAN so that your son will not be able to access such sites in the future:

https://i.postimg.cc/BvP23sgG/screenshot-227.png (https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/)

In any case, this will save you a lot of time and nerves in the future. The setup is really easy and can be done by people who don't know much about it (of course I'm not assuming that now).

That's not gonna help you. Mostly, all casino prohibited minors to play and have set it condition to their T&C.

The best thing you do:
- Go to your son, talk to him and give a fatherly advise.
- Use a third party blocking software. Follow what @Lakai01 posted (I used that software and helped me alot).

I just have to suggest it on my response above but honestly, it won't help much in the long-run.

Even restricting sites won't help, neither on desktop or network, as surely that kid is not just the one who uses it. I mean yes, there are other technical ways to avoid that site but no need to honestly go technical with that problem. Just imagine, that 14-year old is able to understand that he is dealing in a crypto-gambling site so surely there will be a time that he will also learn ways to bypass those site restrictions (if parents set it up) as it's just one google search away to find the answer.

A serious discussion between parents and son is enough. Restricting those sites will just make the kid more curious. He is already 14 years old. Just a few years more and he will enter his age of consent.

As a parent its always unexpected to discover their kids on something like this and your tension is 100% valid in a situation like this. I wanna let you know that most gambling platforms who are running under licences have clear announcement on their frontend about 18+ age restrictions and most probably your son didn’t follow that properly. For now i will request you to discuss with your son politely which may help him to accept his mistake.

Just not only gambling platforms kids are also get addicted in porn sites which is quite common now. Due to that reason some countries government block porn sites on their region but no one can say that its gonna work completely. In modern world kids have knowledge about VPN and they can easily avoid all restrictions by that. In a situation like this parents have to play the key rule to keep their kids far from this kinda things. Actually anyone can get register on a casino site where authority can only get information about users age during KYC submission. In some cases kids use their parents documents to pass the KYC process and its really unstoppable IMO.  So IMO its necessary to keep an eye on kids internet browsing which may be a better solution in this kind of circumstances.                   

I do not think that it is worth getting off with banal advice and useless blocking. If a male was able to crawl into a casino without having 18 years old, then bypassing the lock he will not be difficult.
The more obstacles in his path will be exposed, the more cunning and stealthier he will become.

Do not blame the site for the fact that your son is interested in gambling. Apparently, it’s also not worth blaming the son, because he is having fun, maybe even he has already become addicted.
However, you must look for reasons in yourself. Perhaps this will lead you to think what exactly you should tell your son, and in what vein to conduct a conversation.

It's a well said, don't blame gambling platform or any websites that make your kid on other activities are not impeding on their child's education. It's a parent's responsibility to guide and monitor those activities on your kid, as friendly and one of the responsible parent advice. It's important to us to encourage our kid about learning school, there's a proper time for gadgets like laptop or cellphone. Don't let them use on that kind of device without our permission, it's our responsibility, not them.

That's right, talk to your son, and never neglect to correct their faults and stop blaming anyone else.

You should talk to your son first and tell that gambling isnt a good thing for young minds and i presume that you do talk about this gambling site https://luckyfish.io/ ?

I would say that anyone can access these gambling site as long you do had connection knowing that most crypto sites doesnt require KYC which means they cant verify if the said
player is a minor or not.

For now the best thing to do is to block that luckyfish site but expect that your son will find another one in that case thats why you should talk to him first and explain everything.

That's it, gambling sites owner has no choice if they will implement KYC verification to their player. Probably many of them will switch into other gambling sites because gamblers did not want personal verification that may be linked to their personal identity. That is the hardest part in some online casino, there is no choice of what the T&S stated that strictly "NO MINORS" allowed. Which means age below 18 should not gamble.
Nevertheless, I don't see any big deal here. OP can talk to his son with correct guidance and don't let his son gamble again and should only focus on school activity if there is. It is quite simple.

One of the cons when dealing with cryptocurrency based casinos

- young age can have access from time to time without being verified.

I agree on whats being said by most people above that it is somewhat pointless if you do make out some reports knowing that majority of them are unlicensed into their operation.
There is a slim chance of said complaint to push through thats why its important that you should be cautious and tell out kids that gambling isnt for them.

Are you sure about that? In EU state authorities take that very seriously generally.
The website can be banned from the IS providers DNS and from google.co.uk

I don't think that a 14 year old kid will simply read the ToS and say hey, I'm not allowed to play. At their age, they are discovering a lot of things around both physical and online. So he may have search it and thus out of curiosity stumbled and play. I think as a parent, obviously, you need to closely monitor him right now as this might start his gambling addiction, just saying. You also need to sit down and talk to your son as well.

You don't need KYC to verify someone's birthdate, you can simply ask for it when the user registers their account. No need to provide their first and last name and other personal information. Then block everyone whose birthdate makes them younger than 18. Facebook and other social media sites do that.

Even an anonymous casino must provide a "stop gambling and lock me out" feature by the laws of come countries so it's not unreasonable to expect them to ask for birthdates as well.

I am sure that every gambling online has terms of service, it is likely that your son claims he has been 18 years old. Try asking your
child about chronologically first. Regarding licenses there are indeed many online gambling circulating illegal, therefore parents need
supervision. I also find my child playing gambling will be angry, so I feel it's natural to see your reaction. If you intend to report
online casinos, you can ask the police for help in your country.

This is where crypto gambling becomes popular where anyone can play without the need of identity verification and if they do impose such changes then expect it would really drop off number of users.

Good guidance or parenting will be the solution on this because our child do listen up if we do explain on what it is and what are the effects when they engage into gambling.

Not just molding up for them to be a gambler but also risking out other important learning curve as a kid.

I think you are in the wrong place to talk about this, why don't you directly contact the team members or service center of Luckyfish? You must get a direct answer if you contact them immediately. Anyway, I suggest you don't see the mistake from your point of view only. Be wise, you are also better to evaluate what you have done to learn your son about what he can and cannot do. Now, I suggest getting Luckyfish social media or its service center contact. 

Young people is more aggressive on things that they've discovered particularly on games that involved money, and they loved most. Their excitement couldn't be measured, specially when virtualization of a game have been Incorporated with their abilities. They're more efficient in their skills, and all we need to do is guide them to prevent possible addiction to rule over.

You should feel lucky if you found the illegal activity of your son before it costs more than you have expected. I have seen the worse cases and in the worst one the 16 years old boy lost the credit card limit on single match. The things became dirty at the end of the story but the guilty side here is the family of that boy. Regarding your case, you should use specific family or kid DNS addresses in order to prevent the access to inappropriate websites.

Not the first time that I heard complains about this gambling site:

ALERT SCAM luckyfish.io is SCAM (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5184301.0).

And someone mentioned that it did accepts kids or minors playing on that site. I think pursuing them will just be a complete waste of time. it's better to concentrate on your kid's action, IMHO.

It quite gives a lot of curiosity to me and I have some questions too why your child goes into the gambling website.

1. You allowed the children to have a full gadget even you do not have consent?
2. Why not block the gambling website into their search engine.
3. How does the child reaches the gambling website?.

The website does already a verification of 18 years old on the terms of the agreement before entering the website and just to make a register also he know what he doing because she already made up the account with the change of age also if the child wants to gamble you just need to guide it because it is full of risk, you don't need to report the website because at the first they have a notice instead you need to guide your son and tell gambling is bad at a very young age.

The site clearly states that in 1.2 of it's end user agreement that it's not for use for users below the legal age in their jurisdiction.
If you want your kid not to use gambling site, you could install a parental control or put web filtering to block gambling sites.
You should also limit the amount of money your child could spend and never provide them your card details.

Most gambling site doesnt require kyc so anyone can access it including minors. They do have a terms of service and restrictions to verify you're not minor, most likely your son ignore it.

Teenage kids likes to explore and your kid is interested to gamble thats why he access that site. What you can do is to talk to him as a parent and explain your concern as a father.

You should be discussing this with your son and ask where and how did he find out about the website. As mentioned by many users, KYC is an option, but not mandatory by most gambling platform, that is why online gambling is the place to go if you want to gamble but you are not of legal age due to leniency of rules in regards to age restriction due to lack of verification.

It would be best if you would discuss and talk to your son and let him understand the risk of getting addicted or getting involved in gambling at early age.

 you dont need them to have a license before you can report them but you can always report them anytime of the day as long as you like although if i were to ask , its not thier fault but its more like its your fault because you dont monitor your kid .  where you at that time ? you dont keep your credit cards and money properly because your kid can easily access it  .  gambling sites always put 18+ warning but they dont know if what age group are now playing on thier site , its impossible to know that without a kyc

they can always check the "I agree with Terms of Service" without reading any of it. so yeah, they can access the site without getting permission from their parents. but when the time comes to withdrawal and the player encountered issues, then that's the time they will read the ToS.
 but hey, that kid definitely knows how to use crypto at an early age.

no betting site offers the possibility to let minors play, but not everyone uses kyc to be able to exclude minors from the game! even if you try to report them you could have the opposite effect, as minors cannot use credit cards not in their name. In my opinion, before going back to a casino I would try to understand how your child found that site and how he managed to put money to play, so you will find the solution to this problem.

Well, their terms of service has surely in it that the user needs to be above 18 to play. Now, since they don't do KYC as it will make all the process of registering and playing very complex and delaying, I think it's the users duty to read the terms and conditions before registering :)

But best would be to talk to your son now as obviously he shouldn't be gambling, if he got into the habit of gambling now, his academics and career will be ruined and also if you block one site, there are thousands of other sites! Best is to talk to him and make him understand the cons of gambling and addiction!

and How dare you are for not knowing which site your 14 year old son accessing in internet?meaning there are no rules running in your house?yeah this is something questionable about the site but this is our Parents obligation to tell and make our children follow our rules.Blame yourself for not bringing your child in good manner.
I don't know about the site but if they are not following the rules meaning they are operating illegal .

OP, you can't blame the online gambling site itself but you have to monitor well your son's browsing history and actions. All online gambling websites have a rules of thst below 18 years old not to sign up. But if the child continue to sign up and since most of the gambling aite doesn't require to put some birth date, etc. Then your son will still enter gamblinh websites.
 
 On the other hand, he can't play without crypto coins and your son needs to deposit before playing so I guess he can't still play in online casinos.

I think you don't watch your son browse the internet, so your son can visit a gambling site without you know. You cannot blame the gambling website because they don't have control about who is their visitor. It is our responsibility on where we want to visit on every website, and if your son visits on the gambling site without you know, I think he found that website by coincidentally. He found that the website is attractive, and he can try any games on that site, but finally, you know that your son visits on the gambling site.

Even if the gambling site needs their member to do KYC, your son somehow can use your document to verify his account. Only you that can handle your son or control your son while he browses the internet. We as an adult people need to watch our kids when they use the internet because the internet has everything that they need to know. You should ask or discuss with your son why he visits a gambling website.

Blame yourself for not supervising his internet access. Again, your son already agreed to the sites terms and conditions when creating an account over there and it was your son who broke the sites rules.
Don't know what kind of casino is luckyfish, but they do have a really bad review?
Or you really the kids mother or are you just butthurt because you lost a lot on that casino and is now looking for a way to get refunds?
Or did you get scam and now you are mad? If it is the latter, then please open a proper scam accusation thread.

Ask an IT guy to simply block the website so that whenever your son visits, he can't view it and will completely have zero access.

No one reads the TOS so it's like that your son just spammed accept the terms and agreement and never read it.

One question mate,don't you give rules or instructions to your children for what they are allowed or not using the internet?
because if does then better cut of the internet or prohibit them from using because seems like they are not doing good on it.

is this the site? https://luckyfish.io/

There are specific area of government that into this i think it is anti cybercrime would be good.
gambling site will do everything to make their company succeed and i believe that there are different rules regarding ages in each country,what about in yours?how old are allowed to gamble?because i remember there are country that allow even a 5 year old in casino.

I will 100% report them, I Have checked they don't have a license at all to operate in the UK.
My son allowed to deposit anc withdrawal without being asked any Documents from the casino.

Yes you can all say I'm a bad mother because I didn't realised straightway but believe me ill do all I can to stop my son and stop any casino who accept minors just like that.

It's wrong and it doesn't matter how much u all try to blame ,casinos have duty of care and it seems this casino  is full of kids not only child.


We are the adults and we must make sure our kids aren't exploited .

I will indeed report them anywere I can,not only for my son but all the kids out there.

Thanks everyone for the advice,I was under the impression that  UK was regulated  and my kid was safe but I didn't know they were illegal casinos preying on kids.

My bad, but now that I know not worries this casino will have to check every single person as I'm not going to let explot any child.

It's really truly petrifying.

I'm also a parent and I know how it feels you learn that your son is playing online with real money. Of course, I'm a gambling myself, but I try to hide everything from them so it is really petrifying.


I agree, casino's like this shouldn't operate.


At least at this early stage, you already discovered everything and I'm pretty sure that you will do everything to get your kid not to play online games.

If your kid signed into a gambling site where minors are not allowed then he is the one violating their terms of service so your son has to face the legal issues not the site itself.And as a father its your duty to monitor your kids activities so don't blame internet while you have given permission for him to do anything he wanted.

Just withdraw any funds if it is available in the website's wallet and close the account or change the password.

You should be ashamed for this violation.

At the first place why they didn't have a age restriction if they are really serious for this kind of issue? Both parties have lapses so the best thing for OP to do is to contact the support and report the one he notice to see if the site will take a counteraction regarding on the issue. If they didn't put an action on it then provably we conclude that they are doing some illegalities and report it to the proper authority.

Me as a parent I understand what you're feeling right now and I can't blame you with what happened because technology is very accessible to the kids unlike in our days, we barely have gadgets.

Since you have figured it out and you know what you are doing. Good luck with reporting them but, mostly focus to give your kid a lesson and teach him that he must be a responsible internet user at all times while you are there monitoring what he browse.

Most of the casinos in crypto allows gambling anonymously, they don't require anyone with KYC, so that's the reason why your kid were able to gamble even if he is minor, he just check or agree with all the requirement and then here he goes.

Better start blaming yourself, not your the site as you should be the one who should guide a minor.

REAL TALK here.

Probably learn how to block a gambling sites so your kid won't be able to access, it's you who are in control here, as site will exist no matter what.

I am not sure if i have seen the game before, but I guess it's the kind of game that would attract kids. This is one of the problems owners of betting sites should be conscious of when creating or including such games. They should be mindful of who will be attracted by the games.

Normally kids shouldn't allowed to be betting on games on their own due to their weak self-control. And they shouldn't even be playing public games without supervision... worst yet is getting them to pay to play

This is why I don't give much internet access to my kids because of so many things that you can do on internet (without my knowledge) and of course some gambling site doesn't need any KYC and your Children can easily change their information especially with regards to his current age.

All you have to do is to monitor your kids, guide them well tell them the pros and cons of gambling and as much as possible educate them. If you really think this is the fault of the Casino then make a report to the authority and I'm sure they can help you.

Me I let my nephew use my computer and it always depends on what they are watching since it's really disturbing if they are engage with something not suitable with their age since provably it can affect their personality if we let them engage with illegal things on internet.


This is the best thing to do for now while it's early and talk with the child deeply so that he will understand that what he do is not good for him, we should educate the little ones so that they will not fall on addictive things.

Hah! You think casinos are serious about the issue of underage gambling? As if! They may say 'oh no, what about the kids?!' in their justification for KYC, but how many casinos actually ask for KYC before deposits, instead of after withdrawals? It's all a masquerade, just like their anti-abuse Terms of Service agreements when it comes to bonuses and deposits.

Casinos don't give a shit. They will parade their AML/KYC regulatory terms pretending like the intent of those rules is purely for ensuring safety, but when it impacts literally everyone, and when the money launderers and others know how to circumvent their rules, who is it really for?

The best way to teach you son a lesson is to talk to him with no hate and just let him explain. You couldn't blame the Luckyfish website if they don't know the age of its users. Everything online can be fooled. Even I myself made my Facebook account back when i'm 11 years old (I'm currently 20) yet I've managed to input an unrealistic age. Yes, gambling's fault was only on the side of knowing its users' personal information, leading to your son to bypass it. Yet, many wouldn't access such online games as many of knowledgeable people preferred keeping their personal infos private and not giving a website a single information about them.

With all due respect, Ma'am. Please understand, it would be ridiculous for all of online gamblers if most gambling sites requires KYC. Better have some quality talk with your son.

luckyfish has a "21yrs old only to do betting" warning on their website. it is not their fault if a child ignored that warning. also, the only way for the age restriction to be perfectly implemented is if the gambling site asks your personal information(KYC) to be checked before approving your account to be created. we all know KYC is frowned upon by crypto gamblers that is why gambling site does not require it upon registering. the only thing I see here is bad parenting.

The casino will close their eyes, and they don't even think much about their visitor. As long as the visitor doesn't break their rules, they will be fine, and they will not prohibit anybody from playing gambling at their site. It is the parent jobs to always watching their kids, and in this matter, you will need to spend your time with your kids. Much crypto gambling site doesn't need to use KYC for their members, so that means, every people, whether they are adult or young people, can play gambling. And if it's online gambling, people will not have a limit except themselves.

How did your child discover a Gambling website? I really think this is not a casino's fault since they are always have a warning about the age and I think ALL of the adult site have a warning! You as a parent is the one to blame here you need to know what your child is doing and teach him the right thing! If you discover something like this that your child is doing then, you are the one that is needed to be blame! Always watch your kids not only in physical environment but also here in the internet/cyber space!

I think that you need to tackle things inside family first.Your child can bypass easily verifications and there are a lot of sites that don’t require KYC at all and only ask for it when you withdraw for a big amount.

I would worry a lot more than this as your boy at the age of 14 maybe has done even worse things than gambling and maybe he used bitcoin to buy illegal Id cards to pass KYC in other casinos.You need to calmly discuss with your kid as why did he gamble in the first place and from there settle everything together.

Given the name of the topic’s creator and the emotional color of the message, I can assume that this is a worried mother.
I believe that you first need to find out from your child why he is gambling and how he succeeded.

Does he spend that money that you give him or does he steal from you.
It will also be useful to know how long he has been doing this. Perhaps he has been doing this since he was 10 years old and there is nothing wrong with that.

great advice specially if there are no gamblers in the family and only your Son is the one who accessing the Sites.
But if one of your family member are using those sites then no wonder where did your son learn about it.
Of course Teenager nowadays are great explorer and they will do anything just to find themselves enjoying.

I don't know how your son got into that gambling site and why is he interested in online gambling at that young age. So as his parent, I think you should talk to him. We don't personally know your son so it's you who can talk to him and discipline him. In fact, I believe that it's not only the site's fault why your son is gambling because it's also your responsibility to monitor your child and what he is doing.

While it's still early, you need to teach your son not to gamble because it might lead to a big problem especially he is still a minor and can't handle emotion very well. However, like what others have said already, gambling sites don't really accept minors. I guess your son knows about that, yet he still chooses to explore and gamble so better talk to him why he did that.

One of the things that  I have realized and noticed that children in this generation are very smart and what you to think or see at age of 20 or see this kids are well ahead of their age and they know what they are seeing or doing it. Though not everyone is the same and as a parent our responsibility also must be taken to ensure they know right or wrong. But some of the kids even after getting their parents advice would not listen to it.

Thanks everyone for your reply.
Won't even waste my time arguing my mother skills,as I m a great parent and if I didn't care I wouldn't be here or caught  my don doing it.


U believe  casino have dury of care, I do not gamble myself but read lots of horror  stories and  insurers don't want my son to gamble and have gambling so close to reach.

I have checked and this casino only accept emails,not full name not documents before or after.
never.

Since the UK has a very good reputation on protecting  vulnerable and minors I will expect this site to be investigated  and if they are not licensed they can operate elsewhere.

This site should be dark in the UK, and call me naive but I do believe  its us adult  that needs to protect our kids from predators.

A big thank you for those who showed compassion without judging as there is not perfect  parent and ill do my best to protect my kids, even fight the gambling industry if is needed.

I am not alone who wants her kids far
 from this predators.

Best  Regards to you all.

With or without a license, I guess we should be really responsible for our children. These sites can't always find a way to stop minors from going in and out of their site unless they use KYC which might make their gamblers decline. All you can do now is talk to your son, ask him what gave him the idea to gamble without knowing the consequence of it. I know that every parent is not perfect but at least you know now and you still have that chance to talk to him.

Honestly, it's my first time hearing this gambling site called "Luckyfish". First thing you will see after you opened the site is the register or log-in tab, I can't even browse the site or try to open some games, The guest visitor will be stocked in that tab and will be given no choice to register or login into the site for them to browse the gambling site. It's no wonder that your son will register in that gambling site for him to browse it. Normally at your son's age, The TOS will be ignored.

Also one thing, You don't need to check that you agree into their TOS, It is automatically checked!

Please guide your son and put restrictions on his device, It may not be the only a gambling site he plays with. There are many possible gambling sites that has this same situation.

So that means casinos like sportsbet and nitrogensports should also not operate? Because anyone can make an account in this site even without providing your real information, in fact, I have already gambled thousands of dollars in this site with my email address only because I trust them.

But in this situation brought by OP, I don't think we can report the site for letting a kid gamble since it offers anonymous gamble, anyone can gamble as long as they deposit money.

Anyway, if OP will really push through on reporting, kindly update us here the result.

I have already mentioned the existence of FIAT-based casinos that allow you to deposit without checking your identification or your age. They only really pretend like they give a shit when you're withdrawing, rather than when you're depositing. Why is this? Well, if it so happens that you don't meet the requirements or that your account was fraudulent, then they can just say "nice, more money for us" and act as if their policies actually resulted in something rather than just inconveniencing literally every single person on their platform.

Fucking casinos, man.

I am not saying that the casino is right but do have more control over your son and rather than bashing the casinos. I mean yes casinos should never accept kids but there is almost no verification rule on any casino either, I mean primedice is very reputed but even there you can make a account and just click I agree to terms and conditions.

You should see it like that - You have more control over your son or the casino? Obviously your son, right! So better try and monitor his activities and restrict him betting rather than trying to control the casinos because they are beyond yours and mine control. I although understand your point, it is too easy for minors to fall prey to the casinos.

if this isn't a lowkey promotion for the website you're talking about you shouldnt pass on parenting your kids and monitoring there internet use on to the government. please mom.

Its just understandable that kids these days are somewhat really that easy to learn since we are already on a hi-tech era where these young minds can able to cope up
and able to access these sites with less supervision.They are already exposed into something that parents cant easily monitor it out. In problems like these then
parents should really have a strict check into their sons and daughters on what are the things they are dealing into.

No one is questioning your parental skills. It's just that you have to understand that we are talking about "crypto-gambling site" here wherein don't have the same terms unlike most in fiat-online casinos. Your son is not that dumb to not learn other things you might don't like in the vast world of the internet. He is 14 yrs old already. As I said, just a few years more and he is not a kid anymore.

If you are eager to report the site to the authorities then go ahead. We are in an open forum and the community already gave you a response, therefore expect that some replies might not approve to you.

You can consider closing this thread now.

It isn't the only casino that accepts minor to be honest there are a lot of online casino that does it because they doesn't have a KYC so they couldn't filter their user well.
It is our job as a parent to look after our child I think the best that you could do is to guide them well and make sure that they would stop gambling at an early age since we know that it is very addicting.

That's the nature of the online casinos, email verification is enough to register and play in certain casinos. Because online gamblers care their privacy to be linked to any gambling platform.

If you read their Term of Service you will know that they didn't mention the license part they have. So, I assumed that they don't have licensed to operate. It's up to you if you will use this kind of gambling site.

Sorry, but I didn't see it was the fault of gambling site. It's your sons fault or maybe yours because you let your son being exposed on internet, at that age, their curiosity is very active in all stuff.

I didn't see that you're a perfect parent here.
As I said above, don't blame gambling websites to your laziness not to take care of your son. It's your responsibility.

It is more about parental responsibility rather than blaming casinos for not filtering the new users based on age, geolocation, wealth. You can read different stories on the internet related to the unresistible behaviors of both kids&parents but the weight of parental control is heavier than blaming other sides. Some smart kids even can spend the balance of dad with single click when he is away from home and no password protection on a personal computer.

lol is am pretty sure its a troll

Not trying to be rude here but what kind of concern is this? Do you really think that reporting the site will solve the problem?

Didn't you know that there are currently lots of crypto-gambling sites and most of them might encounter now by your son? If I'm not mistaken, the UK is not that strict when it comes to accessing a site outside the region.

So what do you then? You will report all websites so that kids won't able to enter?

The solution to your problem is just around your house - TALK to your son about the risks.

Makes sense to share for many reasons and maybe the site administration will think about this later if they see pressure from other people. At least, the parent will be able to share his opinion with social platforms and this will let him release the anxiety. The final decision belongs to the OP to prevent the son from accessing such websites. My only suggestion was to use the VPN software which restricts the user from dangerous online sites or simply changing DNS will be a good idea to not repeat the same mistakes.

You can actually filter out sites via your router settings for which your son wont able to access that luckyfish site anymore- as simple as that but the issue
here and as mentioned that there are lots of crypto gambling sites out there where his son can easily access on.So it is somehow pointless in doing so thats why
to resolved out this kind of problem would lies ahead on how he would explain to his son the destructive effects on doing gambling at a very young age or even
if into an older one.

UE is very strict and so UK.
Sent many complaints and I have already  recieved positive replies, this site is not allowed to transact in the Uk Market.

I had a chat with the UKGC intelligence and they are already tracking  down many illegal site as it seems this site is targeting the vulnerables.

I respect everyone, and many off putting comments are from  gamblers  that are OK for kids to have gambling so accessible  to kids, just because the web is full of them.I am a very present mother and my duty is to protect my kids. Very simple, those who preach parenthood to others should worries about their kids and their own skills

There is also plenty of drug dealers in the world, would they be OK for them to sell drugs to their kids? Or they would report the drug dealer to the authorities? Just because the world is full of bad people dosent mean u should close your eyes and accept it.

I believe site such this should  be stopped at least in the Uk as gambling is regulated and to accept minors is a crime and to state the obvious in their t&c and do nothing about it to prevent it ain't good enough in my eyes.

Again thanks for your replies and apologies for my rants but I have been extremely upset by this situation

 

This is one of the risk of the absence of KYC, the administrator has no way of knowing if a kid is playing in their platform, the administrator always assumed that their players are matured, unless there is a report that a kid is playing in their platform, that would be the time they will ask for KYC to verify the report.

It is at the TOS that minors aren't allowed to use their site but right now, online gambling sites doesn't verify if you are a minor or not. If your son didn't read the TOS then he can just click the check button down below and use their site.

If the site doesn't have KYC (which is not being used to most gambling sites) then your son can easily have access to it. It is not the fault of the site but it is the fault of your son using it. As a parent, you must know what your son is doing especially in the internet.

I think even if the gambling site using KYC, the young people can use another document, and perhaps, they will have access to use their father, uncle or another adult family in their house document to verify the account.

The gambling site will only investigate if one person reports to them, but I guess the casino will not do anything because that will not be their responsibility. In crypto online gambling, people don't need to verify their accounts, and they can send or withdraw the money, so that is not a problem for every people to directly playing in online crypto gambling.

I'm normally anti-censorship but given such a specific question. I bet it'll be hard to shut down such a website but on any occasion that one might feel like illegal content is hosted in a platform. They can try the following:
Contact the host.
Contact the domain registrar.

In this site's case, the host isn't obvious but they are using Cloudflare for protection. The website's registrar appears to be GoDaddy.
If you feel like the law is being broken, then these providers might take responsibility and listen to your pleas OP.

Other than that, you have to consider that casinos seeking payment in crypto cater to a specific crowd and are using this payment method specifically to avoid regulation and be harder to shut down.
I don't think there will be any success in forcing them to accept KYC and/or limit registrations/deposits in anyway. Good luck though.

I don't think we should be blaming the casinos.

There are a lot of minors that are actually playing in different casinos, besides, you should do that nagging to the email you will be sending to their supports. They can't filter minors in their site if that is the case I don't think you should be able to know that your child is gambling. You can just block the site and other gambling sites on the internet.

Even if the origin country of this gambling site regulated crypto casino and made KYC as manadatory, it won't be a huge restriction for the people to play on it because it is simply easy to give fake KYC details and it is impossible to identify every registrant is using real of fake documents while signing up ans they are the not in need of bothering about this as well.

They will not monitor the people that are registering to their casino.

Actions are taken if it goes with withdrawals and if they are suspecting a user that's going against their rules. As for the minors registering on them, they really don't care at all even if it's written on the TOS or not, they don't have any concern with them.

That's why they have reminders about responsible gambling.

I think allowing them on open internet is not a good idea. Parents should help filter out what is really unsafe and bad for them. Normally in real world, you don't let them stray too far from your presence without monitoring them. This should apply to their online activities also.
By the way, I don't advice handing their private/sensitive information to anyone online. They could get hacked, misused, or used wrongly, and victims don't always get compensated or get justice for this.

In this incident we cannot blame gambling sites only, because it is very easy to register on gambling sites. We can lie about our age,
KYC can be implemented to be safer. But if gambling sites enforce KYC will be left by their users. Which users gambling online now want
to play gambling anonymously. Therefore the importance of parental supervision in this case must be increased, and also parents should
not be careless in monitoring their children. So it will not be repeated children under the age of 18 playing gambling online again.

I agree with you. In this case, the violation occurred on the part of the child, because he did not read the agreement or ignored it.
In general, I would not blame anyone, but I would try to find the reasons for what is happening.

A child gambling at an early age signals that there are probably problems in his psyche, which means that at a more mature age he may have problems with addictions.
That's what you need to think about now.

People who use crypto to gamble will think that they want to cover their identity, so they don't want to send their documents to the gambling website. If kids visit on the gambling site somehow and found that they can play the games and know how to deposit, they will try it by themselves. In this matter, the parent needs to besides them while they browse, so the parents can stop or close the website if they visit the gambling website or porn site by coincidence.

As you said that your son was able to register on luckyfish and gambling, I assume that your son is familiar with cryptocurrency as he was able to deposit then gamble the deposited money. Am I right till this point? If it is correct then I started to think that you are going to report all bitcoin gambling sites since most bitcoin gambling sites does not check the real age of the users on registration. Indeed there is an agreement such as "I'm over 18 years old bla bla bla..." on registration but it can be simply ignored by clicking it although the user is under 18 as most bitcoin gambling wont ask for KYC before a user is going to deposit, play and withdraw.

While it is understandable that you are mad about what happened the nature of cryptocurrency casinos makes impossible for them to catch on every single player violating their TOS and playing while underage, in fact there are many fiat casinos that allow you to deposit as much money as you want and they only ask for your identity when you try to withdraw, so this could have happened in any casino regardless of whether they accept crypto or not, as such it is better to concentrate on what it is important to you and that is your son, you need to talk to him and see if he has a gambling problem, if he does you need to try to help him immediately because the longer he remains like that the harder it will be to go back to a normal life.

She can validate that to her family and set a meeting to talk about it. It's easy to block those sites so that she won't worry at all unless her kid starts to search how to unblock blocked websites.

Internet is very easy to use that's why out of curiosity, they can do deeper than what we are expecting.

Can't blame the kid, luckyfish graphics looks like a kids game.  ;D  Amazing how a 14-year-old kid learns how to use BTC wallet, the adoption really has fast forward.  Seriously you might wanna block the casino thru your router if you want him to stop.  

I would assume OP gave his son some BTC so you can expect him to find ways how to make use of it. It's just unfortunate he found Bitcoin casino.
So how much did paco loss? Just kidding.

You will be surprised to learn how much modern children can do at an extremely early age. Already at the age of 10, many of them climb porn sites in computer science cabinets.
In fact, Paco’s motivation is also interesting to me, maybe he was thinking and did not find a better way to spend bitcoin than to increase it in a casino.
He could be a great example or face of the advertised promotion of luckyfish.  ;D
