Do any people gamble under the age of 18?

[stephanirain]

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?

Yes there are many kids who is aware in some gambling games, i can't say that this is a problem in the society that under age of 18 they are fully aware in gambling. But it may be the problem for them because they are just kids they don't have the right age to go to work so they don't have the profit to play and they can lose all their money in a hour.

18 yrs old knew already how to play gambling in any way such as betting ,poker or lottery. Whatever we will do in our society now there easy way now to access bitcoin actual or in online ,there are ways now we can hide our identity and some sites doesn't require a lot of information anymore and just let anyone plays it.

age restriction works only on a real life casino , not in online casino. even nowadays people under age have hold a smartphone to school , as long as someone have an internet access and a gadget then they are good to go to start learn about make money though gambling , it's easy to do that and hard to prevent it . the world gone wild really.

IMO, many kids gamble online at the online betting site. no matter what firewall you set for them, kids are smarter these days and will cross them easily.

It is true, this is the negative effect of technology, we are powerless to stop them to used Internet, I am sure there are so many underage that played in bitcoin casino but we don't have any option to stop it, because we cant ask verification, it will makes the site same as usual casino and nobody will played, the world not only gone wild but the technology advanced too quickly

[PhucS]

My answer is yes, there is even a lot. In the past, this phenomenon also occurred, the children gambled on the sidewalks and only when the adults chased them to dissolve. Nowadays, the modern technology, they has come to know casinos, online gambling sites. My eyes have seen two kids gamble on the internet when I go to Net room. I find this to be quite risky, the kids will not go to school, they only gamble, their life will be ruined. If the site does not need identity verification then I think blocking this phenomenon is quite difficult

[marcuslong]

We all gambling by the way we do not know those kids who played online game that goes to tournament or goes to internet cafe to find a good battle that will involved money is already gamble thing in other way because they betting for it. Each teams needs to bet to have thrill a game kids nowadays are pretty good and smart.

This is how parents role matter most. Because if the kid is teach will what is wrong and right starting childhood then the kid will be responsible enough. Because once the kid grows up and becomes addicted into it, it will be a worst nightmare.

There are laws in many countries on this actually, People should take care about their children because gambling is worse than other addiction, as those may get left but gambling increases with age and they wont care about money when they get adult.

Then if the firewall didn't work, then just simply cut off their internet access for them to avoid online casinos, but there are many ways on how you could gamble in the real world, and it is more tough when your kid is doing different gambling ways, and the good parenting is the only key for your kids not to open their eyes on this gambling world. The most common problem here is our child is the only who is making the real problem out of it, or just for gambling.

They are going to make different ways on how they are going to sustain their needs in gambling, for example is they will learn on how to steal things and they are going to sell it, for him to have money to be spend in gambling.

Good parenting would be only the solution to this because once you do raise your children on a good way and telling them about the truth about bad things then they might able to avoid it once they will encounter such thing like gambling.It depends on the discipline of parents on how he/she gonna  guide his childrens.Exposure to gambling is really on high chance because of technology they can easily access it.

Something similar my mom used to do when i was kid(19 years ago  ).

Well, it didn't helped, it made me only pissed and made me to find other ways to plug in cable, and believe me, i always did. I am not talking about gambling nor internet, she took monitor cable because i was bad in school and she didn't want me to play video games, but hope you get the picture. 
I would say parents are trying hard, kids are trying harder

Living under the same roof with my relatives I did experience gambling at a young age.
Too easy to happen when your cousins are at your house.
With just a deck of cards we could start games that would also include bets which not may be large but still there is money included.
I think that is where i started to have knowledge with different kinds of card games.

Yes, smart phones and with high speed data connections I am too afraid my kids too will soon experience gambling even before they attain teen ages. But I am already taking precautions to prevent these to happen.

But the next generations are smarter than us and they definitely will be finding some solution to tackle us for hiding their gambling activities and for keeping their good name all the times too. Still I believe it is my responsibility to delay their chances of getting into gambling as possible as I could.

i don't agree about gambling are the worst than any other addiction .

gambling sometimes indeed could turn to something really wrong and hurt people. but it is actually not that bad. if you can gamble responsibly no matter how old you are , i think you can consider you have gambling properly. so the age doesn't matter in that case.

Gambling is surely not the worst addiction, you can gamble all your assets and ruin your life, but it's uncomparable with cocaine, heroin, crack etc.

There are things out there that will completely ruin your body, not just your money and assets (it will ruin those too though).

[pinkpanther03]

There are many below 18 underaged teengaers who use to gamble nowadays in my country i think 4 out of 10 who gambles and know how to play some card games. This will be a big problem in the society because many more teenagers are going to gamble and get addicted on it. It is hard to counter this technolgy is keep on improving kids are more handful nowadays in technology .

Yes, that's right!  There other country also I know that more children are getting involved into gambling because there parents was abandoned them already, so since they're just a kid, doing gamble in the street was ther only way to make some money of it and sometimes the worse is they snatched any jewelry or cellphone to the person.

[The_Dark_Knight]

I started gambling at the age of 7. That gambling game is paper scissors stick and stone.

It is not going to be a gambling game if you don't have any wager on it but if you will going to clarify that when you are at that age you manage to have some wagering while playing that game. I do played that game also when I was even younger than you but I really don't think that it can be called as a gambling game.

Well as long as hes money are not coming from his parent then he can start gambling with childrens nowadays are pretty smart they can manage to do coding to get money. That gambling he played is for those kids who think that its funny when they lose and when some of them are taking it for pusishment. When i was a kid i remembered that i was playing lucky nine if you know that boyptc

There is not really a difference if the money comes from the parents or if he earned that money, kids should not gamble, especially in places established to gamble, I remember that back in the day some kids were gambling with a coin and I lost a dollar I learned my lesson and never gambled again as a kid.

[Apened]

Yes,there were many children or teens now are playing gamble .Additional things is if they know bitcoins they will be more free to gamble their money .Some of the bitcoin gambling sites dont even have restrictions on gamblers because they will dont identify the user if it was underaged or an adult one.

Well nit just some but most online casinos are pretty lax when it comes to who's accessing their sites and i don't think there's any way to actually know if its a minor or not. Even before the dawn of online gambling, its a proven fact already that minors are gambling. Some even forge id's and birth certificates to be allowed to enter casinos

More young people are into gambling activities though they are under the age of 18. This happens with the usage of payment gateways that provide ease of fiat usage for any need. And as said if they were aware of bitcoin the process once again becomes very simple that they can involve without much problems.
