What age bracket is perfect for gambling

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Still boils down to the society where the child grows in my opinion. If at a young age, he/she sees people around him like his Dad into gambling, no doubt that he will be influence to do the same at the young age. Family and social environment are a big factor here, at least this is my case. Was involved in gambling at a young age because I see people around me gambling all the time.

the most important thing in my opinion is that those who are more suitable for gambling are those who already have a steady income or a steady job.
And their gambling capital comes from their jobs and only uses extra money, they gamble just for fun when they have free time, and some of my friends do and they are around 20 to 25 years old on average.
so the right age to bet is 20 years and over and already have your own income without harming anyone else.

Well, anyone who has started earning for themself and little matured knowing between the fun and addiction then can start gambling. Though there is no specific age as everyone becomes matured at different ages and start earning for themself at different ages so will be dependent on them. But after college would be the best, I suppose may be better.

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

There's really no complicated strategy it all comes down to respect, teach a child how he will behave in his younger days and he will not depart from it, if you have a good relationship with your child, your child will have respect for what you are going to say and, you must lead by example young people are looking for a figure that can look up, be a good role model in gambling and your child will follow your example.

Gambling is reserved for adults, for many years most gambling sites specify the age limit the accept on their gambling sites.

Yeah Majority of ages that was accepted in gambling are 18 years old and above but in some country they are even lower.

Actually there is a thread here in gambling section in which it was mentioned  that even below 10 years younger is legally allowed .

I dont know on other countries but here on my place the age on where someone could actually legally play would be 18 years old but only to those who would tend to go into  those casinos.

Can this really stop for young people to play? No it wont and even with the most simple form of gambling even young people would really get involved into specially in local places where
authorities cant really check out much on whats happening on the community.

Perfect age for gambling is on the age where these kids grown into mature but we know that this isnt something that can be identified precisely because development of each person
is totally different. So letting people play gambling legally will really be set out specifically with governing bodies.

Well as far as i know there are traders that started trading at their young age. I guess those young traders have previlege in life or their parents are been doing trading too so that they teach their children how to trade too and also they provide their capital to start trading. But honestly speaking, i guess at age 20 is already enough to handle trading and the fact that at this age we can understand it deeply and can commit themselves in trading.

We should not make children at young age involved in gambling because the losses from that could negatively affect their mentality or they could become addict to betting which could result in more worse phase in their life afterwards.The legal age as prescribed by government is almost 18 in most of the countries and it not just they have come up with this idea but have done proper research about it.You could teach children at young age under the adult guidance and make them learn so as they have skills when they grow up with experience of more than hundred of betting games.That idea is good but if you are asking for childrens less than 15 to indulge in such works then it is really a bad move.

I don’t think there is an age bracket that is perfect for gambling because if you really are good at it, age really doesn’t matter. I knew someone before who started with bitcointalk and started trading at the same time too when he was 13 years old: mind you this kid was really smart and was on the honor roll until such time he was earning more than the average worker from where he was at and was able to renovate their house just by trading. So I don’t think there is an age bracket for gambling, just by my friend’s experience.

[BitcoinAccepted]

If you ask me, it should not be related to the perfect age. But you should be at least 18 years to avoid problems.

We can make them stay away from anything that looks like gambling which does not make them curious about a gambling game or something similar to that. Younger children will have a big curiosity to know anything they want and if we can not watch out what they do, they will search for themselves and maybe they will discuss with their friends who knows about that.

In this era which younger children can access the internet easily, they can borrow their father, mother, brother or other family members mobile phones to browse on the internet, just to fill their curiosity. Adult people are not prohibited and tend to let them search for what they want.

Maybe we can give approaches to them by always take care of them and if they ask about something smell gambling, we can tell them that is an activity that can make them in risk situations, even they can lose their money. Just make sure they understand what we say, so they can accept what we explain to them.

[Mauser]

Cases of this nature arise daily in our society. Younger children engage in gambling this days compared to adults and I believe its to late to stop them so what approach do we embibe to help the younger ones mange their finance and prevent them from lossing more than the can afford to loose.

I agree with you that we need to protect the younger generations from excessive gambling. But if the never get used to gamble responsible in their youth, the risk of getting hooked later in life is still there. So avoiding gambling all together is the wrong approach in my opinion. It is better to educate the younger generations on how much risk they can take and when it is getting enough. One good thing as a younger person is that you are learning faster, you should be able to adapt better to new gambling strategies. Another factor is that younger people have usually less captial at hand to use for gambling, so any potential losses might be lower than later in life.

Below 21 years of age are still in the scope of the parents supervision. So, that still depends on how the parents discipline their children and draw away from any gambling activities while their still young. Another good discipline is not to spoil your children with a lot of money in their pocket or bank account while they're still young.
But the most effective strategy for this is to strictly prohibit minors from online gambling and physical casinos.
That might not be possible for crypto gambling, because crypto is is promoting anonymity. So then again, parents are still held accountable for this issue.

For me the perfect age bracket is 22 this is the age where a person finished his school and already working, and he is started to be on his own, so if he will gamble he will be using his own money and also at this age he is already matured and he knows what is right and wrong and he knows his goal,he can make a right decision on what he is going to do with his life.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean and I'm not talking about trading and you should read it carefully. Don't rush, it's about gambling on the topic "what age group is suitable for gambling"

and if it is meant to trade with what age group it is suitable for trading, I will educate my teenager to learn crypto trading and he is 14 years old so when he grows up he will become an expert trader.

In this bracket the person already have good understanding with how everything works.

Just like how you explain it, from this age this person can decide clearly in what  and how to behave properly. Their involvement to this activities is on thier own decisions, and in terms of financial status, this age mostly done wth their educations and they are possibly
working and using their own money.

[electronicash]

after high school. 16?

as early as possible a kid should learn to value money though so if he gambles before 16, he will learn that gambling could end up in losing his money. it's the way to make kids learn. allowing them to experience it as early as possible will make them not interested in gambling when they get older as they've already experienced it a long time ago. we all have tried playing cards when we were 4th grade for pennies and then get over with it after days.

[goaldigger]

The legal age in my country is 18 but for me, when it comes to gambling that is still a young age to start gambling, and I'm sure the emotion at that age is still weak and can easily be driven by greed, so for me the perfect age bracket for gambling is around 23-30 this is the time where people starts on working for their family and started to work for their dreams, on this age they can easily understand the importance of handling their money, and maybe they'll realize that gambling is not for them.

We can start teaching our children at the very young age about the importance of Money and how they should spend it, we should start guiding them and teach financial literacy because this one is not being taught in school, so parents have to do their part as well. I don't want my Children to start his gambling addiction at the very young age, I wont allow that to happen and I think that's a responsible parents.

[fiulpro]

Well I do think that :
These things should not only be based on age difference but rather it should be based on : Economic situation also. Ofcourse the gambling should be legal for people only above the legal age of 18 or 21, depending on the country's legal age.
After High school ? This is indeed not a good idea since at that time a person is not stable and without any job stability or whatsoever I do not think they should try and Gamble much.
More than 21 should be legal !! Plus if a person is not economically capable of gambling and doing such things , wasting unnecessary money they should not engage in them. Only Gamble when you own that money and it's in excess. That too in a limited quantity.
Plus monitoring the Gambling is also important for all age groups, I do think if a person is engaging in addictions and such they should be provided assistance time and again, plus even on the major gambling sites people now have an option to seek for help and that too "for free"

[Cling18]

I don't think children of young age would be appropriate to gamble. There are still other things that they should enjoy except for gambling. As for me, it will be hard for them to handle the consequences of wrong decision-making. It's better if a person is at the right age to do it with enough understanding and knowledge about the risks of gambling. Someone who is financially and emotionally capable of dealing with the world of gambling.

[btc_angela]

Legal games? I think it should be 18 years old and above.

Illegal? Nah, obviously, they are not going to follow any rules so they will allow anyone that is willing to play and gamble with real money on their bookies. And that's why many become addicted and by age mid 20's we hear a lot of these young kids who's lives are destroyed because they started early with their gambling vices.
