Should there be any age limit of Gambling?

[MFahad]

There should be an age limit at least 18, most of the crypto casino there's always a confirmation if you are 18 or above when signing up to their website.
But we all know that anyone can confirm that they are 18 even though some are not and it's pretty dangerous since they might be addicted to it and won't stop playing.

There is no way to confirm the age of gambler on the gambling site unless the KYC is mandatory at the time of signup. You signup on the gambling site and submit your documents. The Site verifies those documents and issue you the password to login and play. No site does that because the main purpose of the gambling houses is to make money, no matter who is playing at their site.

Yeah this is why most gambling site are in demand due to the users that are came from the gamblers of different ages. This ain't bad anyway unless those young ones had been closely monitor with their parents. As hi tech as we are now parents should adapt the trend and make a good guidance on their kids. This includes the watch on gambling activities. If the parenta the allow kids to gamble then better let it put as an experience and not should be the priority as part of growing.

I usually avoid gambling websites that requires KYC because I have doubts in terms of uploading my verification online because I'm worrying that it may get stolen or sold in the internet but for me it is normal for some gambling sites and I fully understand. Not all of gambling sites have same regulations and rules because not all are base in just one country.  There are countries who really need KYC or the verification of the gambler in order to know if he/she is in legal age 21 years old and above.

I do agree, gambling sites are more focused on gathering more players than having a verification of what age their players are,

And as far as I know, gamblers in online is much preferred to play on gambling site without KYC, they find it less hassle and their identification is safe from the possibility of making it into public.

Most parents hardly study child psychology. We do not know exactly how the development of addiction in children occurs, but according to the latest research, this is due to the experience of a lack of something.
In this case, gambling will constantly create a lack of wins, which can lead the child into some kind of addiction. Are you ready to take responsibility for making your child addicted?

[Nellayar]

It's a nice topic huh.

Well according to the Minor law of Wikipedia, age below 18 years old is considered as a minor. And yes, minor age doesn't belong to this activity and in the context of alcohol and of course the gambling with the age below of 21 years old aren't allowed to gamble or even drink alcohol/liquor. But this was based on this on US law, and each country has different laws and jurisdictions regarding prohibition of their citizens.

In my country, there is an age limit when it comes in alcohol and gambling. A minor could not not entry in any gambling casino anytime since they required 21 years old above. It is a must to have an age limitation for everything specially for those things that may cause an addiction to the minors. We all know that in that stage, they could not think the pros and cons. They only want to feel happiness.

In addition, once a minor becomes an addict. He can`t control his emotions. In fact, it may came to the point where the minor do something bad just to support his games. Therefore, parents must guide the children and playing in casino should have restrictions in minor ages.

I prefer not to introduce gambling places to my son before he has the age above 20 years, because so far I know that when I was under 20 years old it will be difficult to control his emotions so that when he reaches the required age I will let them know the place gambling at its own risk.

But you would introduce to him these places with the age of 20? Imo a difficult question. For me personally smoking cigarettes wasn't so interesting, because my mother offered me that we can smoke together. As a consequence the incentive to smoke was very low because it was "allowed".

On the whole it is true. Your child needs to be prepared. The question is how.
To put it simply, he needs psychological muscles, which he must develop with your help for a period of up to 16-18 years.

Then, at a more mature age, he will be stable, regardless of what he will face in life, he will be able to overcome it.
But first he must understand that he can overcome things in life.

We have different perspective in gambling, if you are a solid gambler, there's no way your son/daugther will not know that you gamble even in young age. It isn't also good that you are the one to teach them how to play, but most of the time, people with parent's that gambles turns out for them to try it on their own as well.

Going back to the topic, with age as a subject to gambling, I think there's still ways on how young people could gamble if websites will just ask questions such as "how old are you", "what is your age", or to check the box if you are older than eighteen. That is probably the reason why gambling sites usually requires KYC. But what is its effect to prevent young, if they can still access and play on site using faucets right?

But if I had to legislate an age I would say 23 years old man and 18 years old women. There is a scientific study that determined that men make better decisions after 23 years, they are even more responsible

I can't say that I disagree with these ages

But it still looks ironic that you can't drink legally in the States until you are 21 years old. However, you are eligible to join the US military when you are only 17 years old. Where's the irony here, you may ask? The irony is that you can technically start killing people when you are just 17 but you can't consume until you turn 21

Interesting.
Well, I think people shouldn't be allowed to get drunk(assuming that's what "drink" means in your post). There is nothing wrong in drinking, the problem is drunkenness(abuse).
For the sake of kids going to drink (especially with peers) without supervision,  I guess the 21 is fair age, maybe until they become proper/responsible adults with good self-control.
Betting is ok as long it's not done the wrong way(gambling).

This is the classic layout for all armies. The younger guys will be in the army, the easier it is to manage them, the more aggressive they will be, the less they will be afraid of death, which means they will be more reckless in battle.
Ideally, a teenager would never have sex, then his psyche is weak enough to withstand external influences, and the value of life is greatly underestimated. The irony is that there is deception and double standards everywhere. Army or casino doesn't matter.

That is quite a scenario there.

I guess if our guardians are really strict with us we would be able to force ourselves to do what they are avoiding us to do. But I guess that is not always the case since others might take that offer since, in terms of cigarette they might be used to its smell so they would just smoke unconciously and be hooked with it.

I think it is really better if the parents would be able to remind us and as they say, make us financial literate.

Same, I think those casino owners doesn't even think of the age of the players, all they care is their business growing. They just put the age requirements because it is needed, or the government requires them to. But nope, they don't really care. Specially when you are gambling online.

KYC is really a hassle for me too when I'm using crypto, so yeah I prefer gambling sites without one. I think its the same with other gamblers too.

They do care for the KYC, otherwise, they will not include that in their site and in the TOS.
Some site would prefer the users to pass the KYC first but they also allow even if you don't pass, it's an option for you but you need to ensure to yourself as a gambler that you are 18 and above when you are gambling, that's the only thing they can do as they can't see us.

It's actually us who didn't care.

KYC is really a hassle for me too when I'm using crypto, so yeah I prefer gambling sites without one. I think its the same with other gamblers too.

Of course, that's the reason we are gambling in crypto space because we like to preserve our privacy.

Yeah, the only thing must be done here is a proper guidance from the parent. Since we are in the modern times now, we could easily inspect any things what childs are doing to prevent them on browsing some prohibited platforms. So the online casino doesn't really care about the age of their users, they just want the money and just thinking on how they will grow the business. Also, there are no KYC implemented on other gambling platforms and it's impossible to strictly prohibit those underage.

Countries that can go as five? I don't think that they are countries but only a country. And that country is Malawi from Southern Africa. They are the only country that allows five years old to gamble which made it legal for those kids to start at a young age. Correct me with that narrative or did I missed some countries that allow it legally. Talking about legality, it is the only country that I've seen but we know it that kids can gamble even at a young age but without the patronage of their parents and wouldn't care if they break the law.

Kids at young age as 5 can really gamble and it doesnt need  to be legal yet even a country doesnt have strict laws about gambling then they can play all they want it will depend or vary on the parents itself if they do let their  children do play gambling at a very young age.Im not that informed that there are children who aged 5 did really able to gamble, thats really a serious issue into their parents side because young minds as early as 5
shouldnt really be doing such stuff.Its just really an irresponsible for its parents.Poor fella, where he/she isnt aware on what awaits ahead if gambling addiction tied  you up.

We will never know what these kids are doing if they are infront of the computer or outside our homes if we are not with them. Just like us, during our kid days, we are doing crazy things that we are not letting our parents know so this could be something that's really happening in some places.
And for that country that made it legal, it's their decision to do it as they know more what their society is tackling. We have no idea if the cases like this is rampant there or just made it for fairness or solution for it as an existing problem.

And also even rhey are confirm that they are 18 age in online gambling but what if they are not actually legal age and yes they are possible for them to be addicted it's because their not mature enough to think like controing their selves just like the adults can do..

That is cons of the online gambling we will not determine who is minor playing because they did not implenting KYC but for the majority we don' t want that because we want to secure our details.

It is not the problem of the casino owners or the gamblers  but the problem of the parents themselves. They should be careful on how they raise their children as well as how they use the internet. A lot of minors have an access to internet, that is the bridge to adult sites like porn and gambling.

We care about these minors that are gambling early at their age but we can't actually stop them from doing it, it is their parents' responsibility.

Agree with this statement, it's not a fault for the gambling sites anymore but the parents, if kids can access porn and parents can find a way to block certain websites to prevent them, then maybe they can also find a way to block the gambling sites, not only that, it's also necessary to educate the kids and teach them discipline so they will not explore a risky game like gambling.
