What age bracket is perfect for gambling

[yazher]

I think 19 years of age are responsible enough to handle gambling activities specially if the person is well open to Their love ones.

The only problem in gambling is if we are not telling our family and friends about our activities and hide betting , this will end up addiction and will cause us harm in the future.
So opening our games will help Us safe from becoming a desperate gambler.

Their family should know what they're doing since they will be asked where they spend their money. these things cannot be hidden from the other members of the family especially if they don't know how to earn that money by themselves. Same as they are earning it by themselves because in that way their family can advise them some legit advice about what they're doing.

its reserved for adults on countries where the age restriction is high but there are countries with a low age restriction but i believe this countries is excelent like on how people lived , they are well disciplined  . so thats it the perfect age for gambling will depend per country

I will still love to know if there could be a strategy in which we can use in helping the younger generations to avoid gambling until they are mature in all aspect so as to curb excessive mismanagement of funds appropriated for very important purpose

this concern will only cover to those country with high age restriction but if your concern is mainly because of financial , why not teach your child to be smart financialy . no need to wait till they mature in all aspect because that will take too long .

Yesterday, I turned 4.  See my profile page, as proved by thermos KYC.  I’m a big boy now.  Would the Management of Bitcoin please give me permission to gamble?  🥺

I can say for almost certain that regulatory efforts that try to restrict access to gambling almost always go to waste.

Some exposure to elements of gambling is going to be inevitable for a minor. Trying to control that exposure works to an extent, but beyond that it is really not that productive.

All the KYC in the world won't be able to stop a delinquent teenager. Regulators doing this is simply avoiding the root cause of financial illiteracy and a basic grounding in maths in the youth populations.

Minor's decision was based on how the environment around them is telling them. In some countries, gambling can be seen everywhere with some participation of minors.

If these minors were introduced to gambling at an early age and almost every day, gambling is just a normal routine operation in their life then just allow them to do it as stopping them might result in a much bigger problem. That's the common cases in those areas wherein gambling is part of their everyday life.

But for most of us here who are somehow in a region where gambling is regulated and minors are permitted from doing gambling, as these minors growing up, make sure to give them a personal talk about the risk of doing gambling and being responsible enough. Surely, they will understand it while they progress.

There are really difference into those people who do earn income by themselves or to those people who do fully rely with their parents in terms of financial.A particular person who get involved

in gambling and comes addicted but there are no other sources of funds he/she could possibly get and this is where possible crimes could be committed if he/she let himself do fall into that pit of addiction.

When it comes to desperation times or cant able to resist then that would really be a big problem.This doesnt talk about particular age because as long we are fully aware on how thing
works then that would be the perfect age or time but instances on getting addicted and some changes could most likely to happen.

What if that young age is matured enough to do gambling? Not causing any problem for themselves or to their family?

Gambling for me is open for all ages as long as young ones know how to do it responsibly. Just because they are minors, they can be considered as not ready.

But if gambling is prohibited for minors, then this age bracket should not be a topic.

[nitrobetting]

I suppose their isn't really a specific age bracket we can consider because there are so many factors to bare in mind when gambling. Despite the advent of internet and social media, I think the aspect of having knowledge, money, and discipline to indulge in gambling still plays a huge challenge and responsibility for young people. If anything, it may bring out the best or the worst in a kid if not done right.

LMAO, Belated happy birthday, As you turned 4, I guess you need 3 more years before you get to gamble as one of the reply in this thread that there is a certain country that allows people to gamble as early as 7 years of age. So you need to wait furthermore

1- Different people mature at different ages I believe, there are young neighbors around me who are smarter than some of the uncles I have met in life so I don't know if there can be a set age when everyone matures. Someone aged 15 might be controlled enough to stop while some 35-40 age guy might tilt after losing some bets.

It's all true, but that is not how the law sees the situation. There isn't a simple and cheap way to measure who is mature or not to engage in gambling, so a minimum age is set to determine who is accountable for their own acts, presuming an individual on that age, psychologically and biologically, is fully aware of his actions and consequences, otherwise this person has a mental issue and then it's another story.
The correct would be if the family and school members tracked the psychological profile of the individual since the childhood and depending on the analyzes this person would be adviced to stay away from impulsive activities like gambling or not. But such approach seems too complex and expensive for the currently society we have.

Gambling, in general, is some sort of addiction in which all people struggle with. It is relatively hard to categorize on which age bracket is perfect for gambling as everybody has a problem with it no matter how old or young they are.

I do think that the limitation on gambling should be addressed and taken seriously. Just like any addiction, gambling poses a serious threat to the livelihood and welfare of a person and his family. If left untreated, this problem may result to the destruction of one's life which has proven to led to suicide rates.

Honestly it's hard to give a number on questions like this, Minors are definitely out of the questions because the law doesn't allow them by any means. Young age especially those who just got out in the age restrictions most likely has unstable minds compared to adults. Having an unstable mind could result in depression, addiction, and other bad effects they can get from playing gambling whatever the result is. For me there is no perfect age bracket for gambling, We have different personalities, characteristics, and other factors that can affect the method on how we play gambling, even on what age bracket it is.

The average online gambling site has an age limit of 18+ for its players. It can be assumed that anyone who is -18 years old is not completely out of control of his parent and so is not allowed to gamble. However, online gambling can't truly verify the age of the users of its site if they do not enforce KYC. In my opinion, there are still many -18 year old users who are addicted to gambling because they have missed their parents' observation. The digital era has provided an opportunity for underage children to gamble and I think that is common now.

A person's ability to gamble is not limited by age and it can be justified. But the maturity of the mindset will determine their character when gambling. Kids under 18 don't think much about big wins, they tend to gamble for fun and they can forget their gambling loss faster than adults in my opinion.

There is a reason why casinos and other gambling platforms have age restrictions to prevent young ones to gamble as we all know that gambling may cause problems not just in financial problem but also health problems due to excessive gambling. Most casinos have 18+ rules which only 18 years old and above can gamble. Even though some have under age of 18 did manage to gamble online casinos and even physical (outside casinos).

There are bad effects indeed mentaly and physically, this preventions that restrict minors to gamble has been used by the government. They are preventing young minds to get addicted and ruined their lives in it's early age.

We can limit though since online gambling sites are available and those young gamblers can easily fake out
their information or they can simply visit crypto related casino house to play anonymously..

Whatever age it takes, the responsibilities always rely to the gambler itself.

[iTradeChips]

For me the best age for gambling is really the 30s. The 20s is not a good age for gambling. Because if you are young and you have tendencies that would make you do bad decisions that could be disastrous. The 30s at least you might have made some progress in self development that would you make much more sound decisions and therefore not easily affected by gambling consequences. I mean that the emotional maturity should be already achievable.

[Jackl87]

I personally think that children should never gamble no matter how much money they have. As a kid you are still in your formative stage and way more vulnerable to a possible gambling addiction than a adult who has already developed a solid character.
Of course you can't generalize it that easily because there are 16 year old teenagers out there who have way more discipline and self-control than the average adult and there are also adults of course who get addicted to gaming very easily and therefore betting money that they would desperately need for other things.
But in general i think it's a good thing that children are not allowed to gamble of course.

Guiding them on what gambling is all about and the right time to gamble is the only way we can do to teach them when to gamble and, without our guidance, our children will fall into many traps in gambling, gambling needs a lot of control and the children need good character before they can gamble, so they will not come up losing everything.

I find it a bit wierd in my country that you are only allowed to enter a casinos above 18 years, but on funfairs you were allowed to play lotteries and other gambling as kid already. The only difference is that you win physical prices and not money, but it is still the same. It can be very addictive aswell. My first memory gambling on one of this fairs was that I want to have some specific army figures for which you needed a lot of points. So I basically spent all my money for the fair over the weekend on this lottery stand and didn't even get enough points in the end. I wish someone would have told me a bit about gambling at such an age so I could have saved my money for some of the rides instead.

What you are saying is absolutely true, we shouldn't give children the opportunity to try to play gambling. Because it will adversely affect children's
behavior, I have a neighbor of an 8 year old kid who often steals his parents money just to play gambling. This is a very scary thing for parents,
therefore parental supervision must be really strict. Because now it's very easy for children to access gambling sites. As you said in general, children
are more easily addicted to playing gambling. Always supervise when children use the internet and also investigate children's activities when playing
outside the home. Because sometimes children, due to the influence of a bad environment, can get to know gambling outside the home.
