Impact of underage gambling?

[Jackl87]

So often at times, we are always warned not to allow kids to get involved in gambling and one of the major reasons is that gambling is a highly addictive activity, but in recent times we see how young folks are making a positive impact and making money for themselves through the cryptocurrency space.
What is the best age a kid should get involve in online crypto gambling and what is your recommendation for that?

I think the laws that children and teenagers are not allowed to gamble are existing for a reason and that is because as a child you are not fully developed yet be it physically or mentally and that is why children are often way more prone to become addicted to something then adults. No matter if its playing video games or gambling. Of course there are also teenagers that were able to make a lot of profit with their gambling or sports betting but that does not mean that gambling should be accessible for everyone now, because those kids that made a profit with gambling can also get addicted to it, because i think it doesn't really matter if you are winning or losing in regards to developing an addiction.

Op said underage gambling and not gambling addiction. I am being rational in thinking. There are different status of underage; some are earning on thier own, many are dependent on thier parents and some do not have parents. If an underage has no parents or guider, then finds a way to earn from gambling as well as other things, as much as he can make good judgement of his own, he should be allowed. As long as we do not provide for him as an alternative, he should be allowed.  You should only be able to control whom you cater for.

That's what's going to happen after underage gambling, they'll get addicted to it, especially if this gambling becomes a habit in their formative years, they're going to have a hard time removing that habit when they grow old, you're not rational, you're tolerating underage gambling by guising it as a means for a children to be independent.

For the hate of the addiction, underage gambling should be discouraged. I didn't consider the extreme of the scenario. Human character of adaptation shouldn't be undermined. Whatever a child does constantly from childhood to adulthood is automatically part of his lifestyle (addiction). If not corrected, it will turn generational.
But what then can one do to prevent this? Once an underage has access to Internet, he will gamble without the consent of the parents and government. I think it cannot be moderated.

Maturity will go a long way in building the emotional state of any gambler and kids may not have the maturity sense needed to handle some gambling issues and decisions. But once a person is 18 and above, that individual will handle whatever emotional challenges that involve gambling.

Can handle but still got addicted to it. Though you have a point which making decisions are crucial like when to stop. I dont know for the others but those under age are still can't control themselves if they are hooked to it. They just want to play and play dont know how to stop unlike those older one that they can control it mostly

Exactly, the underage which is the formative years of a child should be developed towards making them a useful member of the society and at the same time can become independent and become someone to relied on.

Underage gambling can be highly addictive that is why young people below 17 years are discouraged from gambling but again many gambling sites try as much as possible to publicize the age restrictions on their sites.

I have conservative views when it comes to underage gambling, they should first finish their study or have a stable job before they gamble, the mind of the young will be corrupted if they play at a very young age, they should gamble when they are easy to accept the responsibility of their action and we cannot be good parents if we have kids that are exposed to gambling.

It's a no-go area to me if any gambling house allowed underage players should be shut down because it's a crime against society to allow underage players. Young folks don't get the right brains 🧠 to withstand gambling pressures.
