[Saichoukyushin]

Definitely there are many underage kids play gamble this is one of negative effect that we need to face and accept into the web .Because there are many games that attracts the teenagers especially under 18 years old they are more into games and emotions .
This will be a growing problem in bitcoins more teenager are playing gambling and the bad thing is using their pocket money and sometimes allowance just to gamble.

It's a big problem that anyone can gamble and right now because of technology, even a 5 year old kid can gamble with bitcoin without knowing that he is still that young. I saw a lot of teenagers that are gambling with almost everything, political bets, sports bet and as long as there will be a chance of wagering money, they will do it so.

- Right, the number of gamblers under 18 has been increasing rapidly in recent years because in the present society, young people are exposed to computers too soon, they know to gamble through the internet and became addicted to gambling after some time. With people under the age of 18, they are very curious and want to discover, experience something interesting, they come to gambling as an experience. A survey of gambling addicts found that all of them were addicted to gambling when they were younger and under 18 years old

There is no proper system to check whether the user is above 18 or under 18. So there is no doubt that a lot of users are under 18 and playing in betting sites and gambling. Parents should keep an eye on their children, so that they should not gamble too much and loose.

Many people under 18 gamble and they think it is an "investment"..

[Salazarian]

Yes nowadays we will be able to notice that a lot teenagers 18 below are into gambling they already familiar to some popular card game and the effect are most likely losing of allowances, cutting of classes and early other vices which not totally beneficially to them.

yes some teenagers play gambling illegally, as they are not allowed to visit a casino or play gambling online, but still there are some casino who are illegally giving entry to teenagers, i think the government should take serious action against such people.

I think it's opposite, those who are over 18 years old are the ones that are thinking that gambling is an investment. And yes, there are a lot of people that are gambling even they are under age. And most of them are thinking that it will be a gateway for them for another opportunity and can give them a very fast profit that can make them rich.

Sounds pretty condescending.  I don't think that many people who are under 18 are that stupid.  They might gamble though, especially on Bitcoin casinos which don't ask for as much information as other services.

Its the other way around, they gamble just to get easy money and not as investment. Easy money means to them a lot, they can use the money to go buy like clothes, shoes, smart phones and other things that a usual teenager wants at their age. Those teenagers that would likely to invest are less than 5% of the population.

Of course you can't check them online, even if you ask them for ID they will give you ID from someone older.

Parents should keep an eye on their children, so that they should not gamble too much and loose.

Parents can't keep an eye on kids 24 hours/day. If they want to do something, believe me, they will find a way.

yes some teenagers play gambling illegally, as they are not allowed to visit a casino or play gambling online, but still there are some casino who are illegally giving entry to teenagers, i think the government should take serious action against such people.

Don't make me laugh. Have you ever heard of corruption?

I want to know if anyone here gambles or have gambled under the age of 18, I feel like there are many kids who do this and I am interested to see how many people actually gamble under 18, if you have any friends that gamble or have gambled under 18 include them.


EDIT: I mean mostly kids online, its hard to be a kid and gamble physically. I feel like the gambling rate for kids is increasing a lot and is gonna be a problem in the future, especially with the CS:GO situation.

EDIT2: Another question to ask, is what is your opinion on the topic of kids gambling, do you think it is a growing problem or a problem alone for that matter?

EDIT3: What is the best way to counter this problem without websites having to know your exact identity?

Yeah, of course.

CSGO was definitely one of the big ones.

However Steam shut a lot of the sites down or refused to give the access to steam payment API I think? So now there is a lot less.

There is really no way, I mean the parents could be very anal about it but in the end, it's the child's choice. Nothing we can do.

Oh, yes. Steam was a very big one. But there's still some around.

Most of the sites do not allow the gamblers under 18 so it is hard for any person who is under 18 and gamble on these sites and on real casino it is impossible that any under 18 enter that place.

I think it's opposite, those who are over 18 years old are the ones that are thinking that gambling is an investment. And yes, there are a lot of people that are gambling even they are under age. And most of them are thinking that it will be a gateway for them for another opportunity and can give them a very fast profit that can make them rich.

i think it is illegal in all over the world to play gambling if you are under age. but still  people try to find way and play gambling, and specially in backward countries the trend of playing gambling by teenagers is more that modern countries.

It might be illegal but still there are young ones that are gambling while hiding. It's a very common thing to those societies that doesn't care for the youth ones that are addicted in gambling. If dark market places is very common, there are places that are the same places such as like that for the young ones to gamble.

Most of crypto casinos don't check any information about their players, they leave it up to gamblers to obey the rules and forfeit any responsibility regarding underage gambling. And it's quite reasonable, Bitcoin casinos offer anonymity, easy access and provable fairness, so it's impossible for them to check age without completely changing their existing systems. Anyway, there will always be operators who simply don't care if kids gamble in their houses, it's duty of parents to keep an eye on their children and explain to them the dangers of irresponsible gambling.

[JL421]

Yes there are many teens who gamble under the age of 18 on mostly csgo gambling sites. There isn't any solution that the site can do in order to stop this, the parents of these children should be responsible and see they kids are not spoilimg themselves.

Yes ,but how they would know if a gambler was a teenager and not an adult one .Nowadays teenagers find their way for them to play gambling and it is now almost free for them to enter in online gambling sites with the use on bitcoins .They not need to go outside and push the casino to convince that they are not a teenagers anymore. This is the problems right now .A country with a gambling banned is not assured because the teenagers now is in advanxe technology they will always find a way .

In fact, the number of gamblers under age (under 18) that very much. Internet was too broad, too easily accessible, and most people already have the tools to access it, at least most people already have mobile phones. On the Internet also too easy for us to manipulate the identity, so that the minors could falsify their age, making older in order to access it.

You're right. Its not even a question anymore if any minor is gambling as it already is a proven fact. Especially with the emergence of online gambling. Parents should be more vigilant and they have to make their kids understand what gambling is and the effects it may have on them as there would be hardly anyway to make kids avoid contact with gambling
