Do any people gamble under the age of 18?

[The_Dark_Knight]

It's so difficult to measure the age level in gambling site, i Don't have any knowledge that how can we define user age who is participating in gambling. If the authority assume that it could be harmful for the kids then they have to take proper action to identify that issue. I think now a days kids are bringing up very smart way so let it go.

to me i think it is not such a difficult job to measure the age level. as in my country when a child reach to 18 then government issue then National Identity Card, so if any person who has NIC then they are allowed to play gambling and can enter a casino otherwise no one is allowed to enter casino without having national identity card.

But that only applies to casinos that have a physical location or fiat casinos that ask for an id, but in bitcoin, where we like to have a certain degree of anonymity bitcoin casinos don’t ask for this information so in theory even if it is forbidden for someone under age to gamble the casino has no way to know that.

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?

I think gambling may be done for fun even by kids as I am not against it, but if parents don't keep control over their kids and give them money to gamble, then they will be responsible for the growth of addiction in their hearts about gambling. If you are not interested in letting websites know your identity, you may use websites where no verifications or account creation is needed.

For kids there are a lot of other means of entertainment and as they cannot manage their money so they do not need to come to gamble for getting entertainment. If they are interested in playing games then for them there are a lot of free games as video games on their PC and android etc They can play their games on that places.

I agree, if indeed the children are looking for something for entertainment, to entertain them, gambling is not the place for them. It is not good for children to gamble, where did they get the money to gamble? Definitely from their parents and I'm sure it's not what they want. Parents must understand better if children play other games that are free for entertainment. PS, PC, android, a lot of that can be entertainment.

I don't think that kids take part much into gambling activities. As the early days of focus will be over the gaming console usage. Very small number of kids who are technical aspirants tryto explore more about the technology and take part into these activities.

I know that, good if not many kids gamble, because gambling is not a place for them. But I say that because of the fact that there are kids who gamble. If children have fallen into the gambling world, even if they do not gamble too much, it will be hard to be granted to stop. Only their parents can ban them. And for prevention, it is better for parents to give something to their children to play the "better" rather than gambling.

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.

Everyone gambles, I mean who knows?! Behind the screen, you are playing or talking to a teenager. That's the downside of the internet, everyone can use them. I know some who are at the age of 15-17 and gambles a lot. The only solution for that is for the parent to check on what their kid is doing online but I doubt there are parents who checks their kids every day and see what they are up to while on the internet, especially if the parents are busy. My opinion on kids gambling is that it may be a growing problem but it actually is up to the parents to correct them.

I do not know but with kids allowing to gamble quite against my opinion.  Adult people are getting hooked and addicted to gambling, what more this minors who are still young, they are more vulnerable to gambling addiction, that  is why government does not encourage or even made it illegal for miners to gamble in a Casino.  But with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, the site has no means of knowing how old their client is because they never get the identities of their players.

Thats the problem since crypto give easy access with gambling site and allow everyone to play who knows what age they got as long as they have btc or crypto to send they can still play and prone being addicted always have bad side and good side.

The age of Bitcoin users and the audience of gambling is getting younger. The case from bitcoin is nothing terrible here, let the youth learn, but the fact that young people start playing games of chance with gambling can be a very bad trend.

[Yanisumin]

Nobody doesn't know who is gambling at the age of 18, online gambling sites never ask for age. So there are chances that many people who are gambling below at the age of 18, but when it comes to offline gambling bouncers will not allow people whose age is below 18 years.

Online and real world gambling is a different story. It’s true that online sites ( some ), well they are asking for age, but it’s easy to lie and there is no legal verification that prove that you are under 18. That’s why parents must be cautious and must guide their children in online acts that might cause some damage to them. Kids gambling at 16 below barely have knowledge on how the gambling world works.

It depends in my country there are some machines that you can find almost anywhere where a small roulette with images of fruits spins and if you hit it right then you get a prize, in my opinion those are gambling machines and are very popular in my country especially amongst kids.

True. When a festival in town held every year, there are on foot amusement parks and they are offering lots of games and gambling games where everyone can bet (adult or kids). It is popular because of the fun and prizes. (Cheap bet and bigger prizes).

But do not underestimate the new generations, I am not finding they will get suffered due to gambling addictions like the gamblers did in early days of internet.

One prime reason which is supportive for young generation of gambler is they are into multiple engagements. They easily get distracted by social media so the chances for them to spend more time with gambling will be very less and when they will be limited with gambling, the chances to get addicted will be very less to zero.

Yeah, the main reason when our kids start to play gambling, when parents don't care about their kids activities. Than definitely it is parents fault, why they are too much negligence for their kinds look after. Because if we care of our kids and tell them in the start when they are growing about bad activities than definitely they could safe themself and also safe them from gambling.

yeah but still it's a problem to allow player under age to know casino and gamble there. they are mostly still asking for money from their parents as for the result they couldn't gamble responsibly. the rules like this has been discussed and agreed for long time ago but online casino changed it all recently especially bitcoin casino.

[game-protect]

As Bitcoin is anonymous and you can use some gambling sites anonymous as well, yes, there are some people gamble under the age of 18.

[passwordnow]

And it's really happening, whether it is with bitcoin or not, gambling is not regulated for each countries. There might be people that are gambling through their own houses without any monitoring and teens are being involved on it. That's why it's really going to make under 18 to gamble which is bad for them.

I disagree with this, while there are more distractions than in the past how many people have you seen that could be classified as addicted to facebook or twitter? Many and this type of behavior can easily be transferred to almost anything like video games or gambling.

Probability that may arise for a child of their age is very high, which is the stage of recognition and learning attitudes similar to behavior of adults. My point if they are comfortable with social media addiction, they will not get away from the addiction, and so if they have an interest in gambling, they will choose to be comfortable and continue to develop attention without thinking of other pleasures.

As a son i will say you are wrong. My parents did(shit, they still are) care about my activities when i was kid. That still didn't stopped me from betting when i was under aged. But yeah, you can give your best to guide them but you can't put your kids under glass bell and hold them there 24/7.

Your parents are different ,thinking why they let you gamble seems they see an advantage or they let you explore Its a good thing also that they guide you .Its better that they know your activities so they can give you advise .

If you want to finish someone's addiction (the person under the age of 18), just cut their money source. These people are young and probably live with the parents, receive money from the parents and the only way these teenagers are betting is if they use the income the parents pay them. Cutting this income, they will have to stop playing and with bonus, maybe they start looking for work.

Teenagers now a days really accepts money from their parents and they sort of using it in illegal like gambling in some country or sort of vice. A young teen will enter in gambling will really be addicted to it. Then in getting older he/she also getting addicted to it but the thing is he/she using the money of his parents and not from his hardwork
