Should there be any age limit of Gambling?

[KTChampions]

The age limit that a person can gamble legally must be 18 years old and above. When a person gamble it could cause a harm to you or to other person as well. Even a person who's age is above 18 years old could even cause problem to his/her family. Better not to gamble and get addicted and cause problem.

This is the main problem. Should the state be totalitarian and decide for a person whether he can harm himself? Or should it allow him to make his own decisions and independently determine what is useful and what is not? Sometimes people get pain and frustration from being unable to do something harmful (from the point of view of other people).

I strongly agree that there must be an age limit for playing gambling. Because gambling activities that can make someone addicted
and of course gambling also includes high-risk activities.

I agree too because at young age if someone is addicted to gambling they fail to focus on studies and they are basically trying to earn in the age that they are meant to learn.

Then the age of 21 is someone considered an adult and can think logically.

I don't like to say it but near my house there was a robbery and the person when caught was only 19 years old and he was too mature and wise enough, so I don't think 21 is the right number (maybe 17 or 18 is) because the kids of today grow rather quickly than some expect and a lot of criminals are left on bail because of being a minor but in reality they are mature enough and should be punished.

The age limit on many casinos is over 18 but having an 18 years life experience doesn't mean the person has the minimum standards to gamble with responsibility and shouldn't afford to gamble the amount which he can't afford to lose. Maybe he will be lucky on the first try and will hit the Jackpot, I doubt parents will ask from the casino to forfeit the winnings.

If gambling sites without an age limit will be dangerous, of course, because if up to children under 18 years can play gambling,
can be destroyed its future. In my opinion, gambling addiction is difficult to treat, and therefore gambling sites related to age
limit rules must exist. Only the problem is difficult without KYC to make this age limit run well, as parents do have to supervise
their children closely. So before reaching the age of 18 you should not access gambling sites.

[iamsheikhadil]

There should be an age limit for gambling for sure because we can't let kids get addicted to gambling as it will cause great psychological damage with their development and money managing capabilities. An age of 18/21 (both are fine) must be strictly followed, because unless and until the person knows the dangers that's involved with gambling, they will never know how to stop it and have it under control.

The gambling site will not have an age limitation because they want to invite more people, no matter if that person is underage. Playing gambling will be personal responsibility, and if young people are playing gambling, then that will be an adult people mistake, how they let their kids play gambling without knowing. If young people addicted to gambling, their parents will hard to solve the problem, and maybe they will need to send their kids to rehabilitation.

Legal age based upon the law of the country shall be enough.

There will be mental retaliation for these kids if they will be opened in gambling during their younger days. The usual start of curiosity goes during the teenage and adolescent period and that's where most teenagers become open in gambling.

When you say ANY that means you are fine with a 7 year old gambling, as you might imagine that should be a no from almost everyone in the world, only a very handful of people would say yes to something like that. Now if you want to say what age should be the limit, that is where things gets a bit confusing and hard because at what age people can actually gamble very easily?

Well, 15 could be true in some nations, why? Because they are developed big nations and they usually get a great education and get amazing foods and so forth so they have zero problems which means they can grow a bit more rapidly, whereas in some nations people barely can afford food and kids develop a bit slower. So, I would say it is case by case situation, some nations could have 15 some could have 21, but I believe nothing under 15 and nothing over 21.

Since we were kids we used to make bets , as for me even a small Race or a big project meant a bet between friends, then as I grew up, I realized that it's more of a Sports .

At the same time unfortunately the country I belong to does have a strong ban on Gambling , STILL , I see old Grandpas , Dad's , uncle's playing Poker outside with an amazing set-up.

Crypto Gambling is a whole new level , there are so many games , it have revolutionised the gambling industry in a whole different way , This provides Privacy and Variation that is much needed.

It's much safer and at the same time I do think there are amazing offers out there even for first time customers and the referrals , this is the new era.

There is one important question we have to ask:

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>

For sure gambling was not for kids so there should be age restriction at all of the gambling casinos and even in gambling websites.+

I think 18 is already fine to gamble as long as you are already earning your own money I think its fine to do gambling, but i don't think it was regulated since online gambling doesn't required any KYC so you could easily cheat every gambling websites.

For countries where gambling has legal status, I think they have an age limit that is allowed to gamble and of course most of them are physical gambling companies. For online gambling, I think smart kids can gamble even though the site has warned about player age limit. There are loopholes where children can gamble online even in countries where gambling is prohibited.

I found many children under 18 who were very good at betting on sports gambling and Lotteries at my place. So even though there is an age limit then if its online gambling it will be difficult to prevent. KYC will not be accepted by many gambler because it is related to the privacy security of player, we can move to other site if we do not want to deal with KYC document.

[RapTarX]

Minor shouldn't be allowed to gamble since it has a lot of risk involved which a minor person can never understand. Therefore, I guess atleast a limit of 18 years to gamble is a perfect. Allowing chid/minor would damage a lot of their asset.

In addition, the presence of KYC on the online casino site does not guarantee that a minor will not be able to register there. Children are very resourceful. They can register using their parents ' documents. You can also buy photos of other people's IDS on the Internet.

Well, you have a point there. Do you think what is the best way to do in such online gambling company to avoid those children will possible to register in casino. Is the gambling casino responsibility or the parent of the children's responsibility. The KYC did not have any guarantee to filter these teenagers not to go to in gambling but as parenthood, you can do this and perhaps parent has been right to guide their children in a right way or in educational purpose only.

I think that this is an impossible task for an online casino. Unless they enter that before entering the game session, you must show your face on the video camera and answer a few questions about your account data. However, this procedure will put off regular players and will be very costly for the casino.
Parents should first of all be responsible for what their children do.

So impossible. It id like telling the casino to stop functioning and people will still find ways to gamble, it is ustoppable. That is why I don't think we should be thinking about this instead maybe lets talk or teach the parents how to handle their internet activites ao they can take care of their children.

There are a lot of ways for them to monitor their children's internet activity. They should really utilize those if they wanted to take care of their children. Also, they can just increase their children's literacy when it comes to finance.

That's what I do. I buy an annual subscription to the 'Kaspersky Safe Kids' program, which can be installed on any number of computers, phones and tablets. This program has huge possibilities.

You can also activate a safe search in your browser to prevent something that you don't want your children to see. And with the Kaspersky Safe Kids and Safe Search in your browser, your children can help your children stay away from porn or gambling or other things that your children don't deserve to see. We can do many ways to prevent or monitor our children's internet activity because I think we cannot always watch them browsing the internet. If we can take care of them, we can tell them about that thing, so they will know that they are still children who don't need to know more about that.

[atamism]

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.

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.

Indeed, there are many ways to protect your children from unwanted content. The main thing here is for parents to understand that they are responsible for their children and they should first of all prohibit children's access to undesirable sites.

[mardaed]

It would only be ideal to have policy regarding the age of players, to be allowed to gamble. It is also a way to prevent the exposure of minors to such activity that might grow an addiction to them. In a sense, when a player is of right mind and capable to make sound decision, they won't make any unnecessary actions without the knowledge of their guardians.
