Should there be any age limit of Gambling?

[lienfaye]

YES. It is must. Children should not be able to access to any kind of gambling. We all know that gambling is very addictive and children do not know how to handle addiction, just think about when they play video games. They didn't even know when to stop, they just want to play all day. So there must be a limit in everything. Gambling is a very serious matter when it comes to children.

Thats right, adult people sometimes cant control themselves when they gamble and worse become addicted so what more for minors? They dont have enough knowledge to fully understand the nature of gambling. It might be entertaining but it has risk and disadvantages that even adults cant handle and even seeking for professional help sometimes.

What age does categorize a person to be mature enough to Gamble ?

-18?
-21?

Does the age even hold a meaning? Should it be regulated ? Since Crypto gambling sites have to be super private and therefore regulating the age is a big factor.

Should steps be taken to take care that we don't being up a generation of addictive gamblers or it's all good ?

[Something fun I want to share: My Private Tutor who was supposed to teach me and 10 other kids , used to have a small illegal business of Gambling on Sports and every Match was betting time , parents apparently did not know anything about it 😂] <Is the ban even necessary, people will still do what they want to do>

Yes we should have age limit in gambling but we couldn't change the fact that anyone could gamble with almost everything they could,
We have been gambling for so long even back when we was a kid there are instance that we would bet something over something random but we aren't so aware of it.
We should have an age limit for gambling facilities and online gambling.

Preventing someone to gamble at a very young age or gambling site not allowing people below 18 years of age to gamble by making different policies and requirements are so old fashion already. I mean there is a lot of ways on how you could play gambling because you wanted to, that's why you'll always find a way.

The only solution for kids not to gamble will depends totally on how you will raise them as an individual, because whatever situation they're at, whoever their friends may be, or how strong the peer pressure is, if you raise them well, they won't do anything illegal for their age.

The card game "Snap" is a form of gambling. (ie who can snap the card faster - some games don't require money to change hands)

We all know that gambling is very addictive and children do not know how to handle addiction, just think about when they play video games.

True, children stay at home and play video games in a safe environment.

They didn't even know when to stop, they just want to play all day.

A study has found children expel more energy when they are active (especially if they have been fed sugar).  Healthy children play all day.

So there must be a limit in everything.

Especially this thread which has run its course.

Gambling is a very serious matter when it comes to children.

So you say - let's ban sugar and children running around outside.   ...and if you don't know this post is tongue in cheek, you need to get outside more often...

I agree.It is the parents responsibility to restrict access to all gambling websites in all of the desktops,laptops,phone and tablets in their respective families.We have to do this because some kids are smarter than the average and they can have bitcoins which easily bypasses the age limit.Gambling if learnt in a young age I am afraid it won’t have any remedy if someone become addicted.

Of course, parents are responsible how their children act at internet and what sites they have access to. It's their obligation to try to protect their children from harmful content at the internet and gambling is one of them. Children and minors can't act responsible when it comes to such addictive content that also includes money and that might grow into serious problem for any family. I think that most countries have laws that forbid or limit access of children and minors to.such content.
