What age bracket is perfect for gambling

[Karartma1]

The fact is that children gamble anyway, if you see a bunch of kids playing with themselves you'd recognize gambling patterns in some of their games. I usually hear the phrase "I bet.." in their vamped discussions: I bet you can't jump from a to b, I bet you are not faster than me etc.
And then we ask why we become gamblers.

It's alright to gamble as that's a proof that we are willing to take risk, gambling is only bad if we just loss control and we can't control ourselves. Even when I was a kid I gamble already, but I learn to control and I don't gamble more than what I can afford to lose, also, I stay discipline so I did not make stupid things like stealing just to gamble.

Yeah , Most of Children's Game are seemingly gambling.

In Card game , they tend to bet and collect win .

Same as In marble game when they are betting with each other to win.

So basically . Kids are gambling though the bets are not literally Money yet they are betting against Each others.

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.

I goes with the same age bracket as what you have mate because honestly speaking the 20s age is the age where the youth are figuring out their future, seeking job and maybe it should the time to focus on their goals and i guess they haven't yet enough money to use or spend in gambling. And also the emotional aspect that gambling may bring was such a thing that a 20s age people may hard to handle with.

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.

No age is good. When you are young you can win a lot, but when you do, you get the GOD syndrome. You think that you will always win, but the truth is that at the wrong moment you put too much at stake and you lose everything. Once an old man starts playing, he will never stop.

We can say about the ages for people who play gambling, even for teenagers. But I guess there is no perfect age bracket for playing gambling because they can play gambling at any age, especially the ease of playing gambling from the internet and using fiat money or crypto. With the internet available in many countries, people can play gambling from any place, including their mobile phones so they do not need to go to the offline casino. The importance is not about their ages, but how we can control ourselves, so we do not lose too much money.

[Silberman]

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.

I agree to a certain point, however financial illiteracy is supported by governments all around the world, taking into account that people are going to have to work for the majority of their lives and in some cases until they die then learning how to manage their money should be a priority right up there with learning how to read and yet this is not the case, which means governments like the current status quo as more spending and credits are good for the economy even if they are not good for the individual taking those decisions.

Gambling is specifically made for adults between the range of twenty (20) years upwards, because from my perspective gambling involves already made money which anyone that's not does not have another source of generating income are not suppose to involves in a such activities of gambling because of profit and loss involves, so for instance young adults between the range of ten to eighteen (10-18) years are not suppose to partake in  gambling because it can lead them to steal another person finance when the money is not available and if they are addicted to it, most especially when lose is bigger than their profit.

This is depending on what country you are living, some countries allowed people to gamble even at age below 20 years old.
Personally, I learn gambling when I was a kid, so this does not apply to me.

because from my perspective gambling involves already made money which anyone that's not does not have another source of generating income are not suppose to involves in a such activities of gambling because of profit and loss involves, so for instance young adults between the range of ten to eighteen (10-18) years are not suppose to partake in  gambling because it can lead them to steal another person finance when the money is not available and if they are addicted to it, most especially when lose is bigger than their profit.

That's the principle, but let's say you are a student, you are getting money from your parents, you can still gamble because you have the money, no one can stop anyone from gambling, we take our own risk, what's important is that we are just responsible in gambling and we have to be have matured mind to be able to do that.

Age does not matter anymore.

Kids nowadays can earn money from various sources and can also gamble online without going through KYC. Offline it is not that easy but I have seen a few friends of mine in my younger days using the pocket money to gamble in offline illegal gambling sources. Age is just a number, if you are a minor you still can gamble if you know where to go.

I think it is more related to the ambient you are raised in.I learned gambling at a younger age because for my good or bad luck I was born at a neighborhood full of gamblers.Of course age plays a role which the more you age in theory the more control you should have.For me the perfect age to gamble is over 25 years old.

I don't think there is any "perfect" age for gambling. As long as you are not a child or an underaged person who is gambling, then everything should be fine. I don't think children are capable of understanding how gambling works, hence they should never gamble. But sadly, there are those video games where they have those loot boxes and mystery boxes where they get "random" cool stuffs from it. Those are like gambling and kids are getting addicted to it. I remember reading an article few days ago where a kid spent like 10 grands from his moms credit card without her consent.
You can gamble whenever you want as long as you are not addicted and an adult who can think straight without any issue. You can gamble when you can afford. The only time you can't gamble is when you "shouldn't".

In what form kids will generate money to gamble, its bad if a kids that's not up to twenty years to gamble, and when will it stop? see everything have stages, encouraging kids of ten years to gamble, from my perspective is totally prohibited because the kid does not have a source of revenue even though it has I don't think gambling is the right place to channel it, OK if a kid gamble with $2000 today and lose and tomorrow the same kid gamble with $1500 and lose and it happened to be your child, what Will be your advice as Father or mother?
So it's obvious that gambling is made for people that have reserved money, but i understand that you are considering the aspect's of profit but consider lose aspect of it. Am a gambler I know how I feel if I lose bet.

Its very wrong should kids be involved in gambling. Lets not view it as just a way of earning or losing some money. Of  course its true that, people can still gamble without going through the regular KYC but that doesn't make it right. Most sites are used to pointing out the fact that, some certain contents or activities are not open to persons under certain age and yet, they still accept to be above age limit and participate otherwise. That leverage doesn't make it right, its a bridge of the system and unacceptable.

Gambling has a way of playing with your emotions and if you aren't matured enough to handle it, you might loose it and end up being a nuisance to society. So, I think gambling should be more for matured minds, it doesn't center on an age bracket but, should be from an age capable of reasoning which starts at 18years of age often.

if that's really how serious the problem for kids, then the government had already create a law to seriously punish establishment for allowing kids to gamble, or the anonymous gambling would have not exist since it's easy for the kids to gamble as long as they have knowledge in crypto.

Thing is, it's not really a serious problem or a threat, even kids, they also know how to decided and besides they have their parents that can guide them or monitor what they are doing.

It is pathetic that most gambling sites don't request for a mandatory KYC thus gave room for teenagers to engage in all sorts of gambling at their tender age, consequently this will lead to their lack of concentration in their studies which has a tendency of jeopardizing their studies and future
In my country I always feel sad seeing high school students  of various age limit between 14  to 18 years old gambling and betting unprovoked and challenged by their parents,  once addicted with it then its going to be difficult to dissuade from engaging in gambling.

~~~~, so for instance young adults between the range of ten to eighteen (10-18) years are not suppose to partake in  gambling because it can lead them to steal another person finance when the money is not available and if they are addicted to it, most especially when lose is bigger than their profit.

That's quite ridiculous becasue the age bracket that the world allow for gambling starts from +18.  Kindly have a glimpse of some infor here: Gambling Age according to countries this will help you understand that accepted age is +18 and very few countries denied citizens as they accepted +21. Here in the country at the age of +18 we're already independent, then what else do you want from an independent individual with his or her own cash to spend?.

Wikipedia, eh, there's a comment in this thread that says, there's a country who allows as early as 7 years of age to gamble. Therefore, his statement is valid

The environment in we living can impact our children or someone to become good or bad. But if we have a strong mind not to get drag into the bad things, we can survive and prevent the bad thing that will tempt us to follow. I think out there, many children below 18 years old playing gambling because of surviving from the hardest world. But people can play gambling at any ages, but they need to make sure to have control over anything that can happen later.

Even if the casino applies KYC, teenagers can use the other identity from the adult people in their family to still play gambling without any prohibition. The important thing here is how they can protect themselves not to playing gambling if they can not control themselves. But we know teenagers have a big curiosity and have a big passion for the new thing and they will do many things that can fill their passion. That can make them have a gambling addiction and if they do not realize the risk, they can become a heavy addicted person in gambling.

In situations where the child cannot be convinced to wait till he gets emotionally matured or attend a certain age before gambling what could be the best approach and how could one help such a child manage his/her losses most especially in situations where the child gets so addicted to gambling.

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 think elders are definitely a bit better than everyone else, it is not the main demographic because they are older and not really after so much money, but the amount of bets they do could be higher than any other even if the amount of money they wager may not be the biggest. This is what I imagine could be the case but I can't really say that I can guarantee something like that, which is why I am just saying I am predicting something like this and not saying that is the right answer.

If we could end up with something that would give us the data for it, we could actually see it, and I am sure there are many casinos that have these data and that could be very helpful for us to understand who gambles the most but without getting those things we are not going to have anything that would be helpful for us at all and we will only make guesses but with a data showing it we could get more help.
