Do any people gamble under the age of 18?

[romero121]

There are lot of users who gamble under the age of 18. Various gambling websites have given access to users to take part in gambling without revealing identity. Also very few are highly successful not just because of studied strategies, but with the winning luck.

With all the FIAT sports books and casinos asking all kind of documents for verification pretty much you don't stand a chance to play there under the age of 18.

Totally different with bitcoin. Bitcoin is freedom for anyone. I don't know if it's bad or not bad for people to gamble under the age of 18 (personally I think it is bad) but bitcoin casinos and sportsbook allows this.

Since the person under 18 is playing with bitcoin, I assume he is smart enough to know bitcoin so I also assume he can differ good from bad.

I think it's bad to gamble for below 18 years age, if the person is really smart he/she wouldn't gamble at all. once they get into gambling they'll become an addict, it will ruin their lives. therefore the parents should keep an eye on their children and do the right thing.

We cannot tell that smart people do not gamble .  Maybe they were once smart until they learn to play gambling lol. And btw, not all people who are into gambling are addicted to gambling and parents need to work, it would be hard for them to keep an eye for their kids.  I think the first step to keep children from gambling should be taught when they are young.  It is a values that parents should inculcate to the minds of children when these children are still young (starting 3 years old), that gambling is  a bad thing and should be avoided. 

yes they should be taught, as gambling under 18 years of age is not allowed any where, and they even don't have permission to visit a casino, but i think still there are so smart people who are playing gambling in a smart way, they never play gambling out of their limit, they have fixed some limit for their gambling which prevent them from a big lost.

There is no way to reveal your truth age while using the Internet and online gambling. It is hard to request players to upload or inform their identity to the managers. They choose online gambling to hide their identity, their personal information so if online gambling also required these factors, they would choose real life gambling instead. I do not agree the idea letting people under 18 gamble. However, there is still no solution for this problem yet

Earlier it was a bit difficult for underage people to gamble online unless they provide a fake identity to sites. But now due to bitcoins they no need to provide any proof. As long as they know how to get bitcoins and use them then can start gambling, which is somehow not good for the society.

Bitcoin does provide the leverage for everyone to gamble be it a minor or a senior citizen and i hope there would be a change in coming years as i expect some sort of law will appear to counter ,which i highly doubt because the war against porn has not reached anywhere and so does gambling addiction among minors will be the case of the future.

i agree with you because in online gambling, we can not know the user is really in above 18 years or not because they don't have to make the real identity, and every body can playing gambling. but for the winning luck, i am believe that they win much of money in short time.

[drwtsn32]

They don't care of the age of the gamblers nowadays. Especially if we are talking about the online world here.
No one will know if a kid is playing or not. Even a kid knows how to play a complicated game. They will surely know how to play just dice and stuff.

I am also not in the favor of gambling in such a young age, as it is not allowed for under 18 to play gambling but still we can see a lot young teen agers in casino, I think the government should take serious step to stop them from gambling.

And for other people above 18, they need to play gambling in a smart way so that they can remain smart and not lose their personality.

We can't rely it all to the government, under 18 years old are considered as minor and their parents has a greater responsibility than the govern. Besides, how can the government bank gambling sites when it's operated with a non-regulated crypto currencies. They will gamble if they have a chance so it's the responsibility of the parents to monitor their children. Big problems will arise in the future as soon as these kids will be addicted.

But in reality gambling will never allow any person to stay smart by doing gambling. So even with the legal age, people do fail with gambling. My preference would be the age restriction must be increased and if possible gambling should be banned completely.

Because, some people are saying that they are gambling for fun still they are losing big amount of money with it.

You can't really ban under 18 from gamble. It's hard to control bitcoin gambling sites. Yes parents could try to do it, but it's still hard.
A kid can have his pc controlled by parents, but they can just ask a friend or something like that.

Anyway, even without gambling at specialized sites, kids will still do it anyway at school with their toys or whatever lol. It's impossible to stop in my opinion.

Plus, I think that the minors who bet are not kids but more teenagers. Also, if they minors bet with bitcoin it's totally impossible to know if the bettor is a minor or not.

[shield132]

They are so many, I can't count them. I don't know what's happening in another's country but in mine, boys from 13 year are playing casino games covertly. It's hard to control child because if you control his pc, than there are smartphones, if you still control that one, than he can to ask his friend for gambling and sports betting. Nowdays everyone knows that it's easy to be any person in internet and simple casino's don't care about identify verifications. There isn't any solve here until children recognize them with parents.

yes agree with you. i have my personal experience of that, as in my area, when i visited a casino i can fount people of all ages, you can see most fo the children under age of 18. i think in backward countries such kind of cases can be found a lot. as their educational ratio is very low and children who are not getting proper education remain busy in such kind of activities.

[Superzpay]

have you heard about marbles? Kids often play with these and bet for their marbles with each other while playing with them which is also a kind of gambling and some kids lose their marbles and others win them. I have played it in my childhood and I was quite lucky in playing that game and won every time.

Due to bitcoin anonymity now everyone got a chance to play these gambling games without revealing their identity. People just need to know how to get free coins if they can't afford to buy it then they can start gambling for fun first but later on they can slowly addict these games which is not good.

That's just the disadvantage of bitcoin gambling for those parents that doesn't monitor their children. Because their kids can simply gamble without parents notice and they can hide their true identity within the gambling sites because most of the gambling sites doesn't require registration and that's what many gamblers are loving.

No not a lot of people are doing this and I thank god that people are not doing this because it just would be so wrong if you are asking me..
Its just not something that should happen these days..

Are you someone who has never seen the inside of gambling are those who are under 18 years of age ..?? . This is something that often happens in the gambling and most of those that do gambling because it has a lot of allowance and their confused in spending it all. This is a bad thing for them because gambling is a bad thing for all those who do so if can't control themselves.So any reason and it is done in gambling for sure will only give us great harm if not able to do well and could not control myself

Are you living in this day and age .None of the online gambling sites doesn't care about your age and no one asks for verification of any sort.Yes the sites terms and conditions would say that you need to be above the age of 18 but no one cares to verify that and i am sure small kids are gambling with the help of bitcoin.
