You Must be Over 18 years

[Sarah Azhari]

I read every Internet gambling had requirements that must be over 18 years. if a child is under that age, how did the website owner know that child was enough to age?. Because I was explored every Internet gambling here that almost didn't require uploading an ID card. A child could be lying by clicking correct sign under the register box.

The website owner won't know until they ask KTC to verify and sometimes, it's going to be too late when the casino asks KYC. For he may not be able to withdraw his funds anymore. Website owners will ask KYC when there is an activity they suspect or withdrawing huge funds from the casino and they will ask KYC. If the kid just gambles small amount I guess that's safe but of course its against moral.

That's the risk of online gambling and the responsibility of casino operators to always keep watch of the action of their players if a casino is Cryptocurrency based and does not ask for KYC, they have no way of knowing unless, in some circumstances where they will ask for a KYC and that will only happen if the account is suspect of abuse, so it's on the parents to monitor what their children are doing online, the full responsibility is on the parents.

[panjul07]

This is part of our own responsibility, if you are under 18 so it is better for you to skip gambling.
If the casino is not asking KYC, there is no way for the casino to know about the age of their customers.
Mostly, you'll have to agree that you are over 18 when you created an account, here anyone should be honest.
No one can stop anyone to play gambling, if you have some kids then it is your own responsibility to control them.

[Maslate]

You can lie if there's no KYC, even 10 years old as long as they have knowledge in gambling can gamble. However, it's very important that you do responsible gambling, and it's easier to be responsible if you are at the right age, not minor.

I have kids and I love gambling but I will never allow them to gamble, a minor can easily be fooled, so I don't want them to ruin their emotion in gambling, rather, I will let them do more educational game that does not require a bet.

[ethereumhunter]

If it is online gambling, I think minors can easily play gambling because there are many gambling sites, especially crypto gambling sites, that can make everyone, especially minors, gamble. Minors can easily gamble on crypto gambling sites because the requirements are very easy and they don't need to upload their identity cards. It requires supervision from parents who are older than them. In this case, their parents must monitor their activities using their gadgets or communication tools. Those kids can access almost all gambling sites on almost all smartphones and almost all minors today have smartphones that can allow them to explore every gambling site, be it fiat or crypto gambling sites.

It's sad but it's true and yeah this is one of the risks of online gambling that doesn't have KYC verification because for sure they will not be going to know their participant's identity or they will find it out later. I know some of us or many of us would not wanted to undergo KYC verification especially if it is a crypto gambling site and that's understandable but I guess those online gambling sites that doesn't uses crypto assets I think they should impose or implement strictly the KYC verification for this kind of instances.

Unfortunately most of these online casinos and gambling sites are well aware that some of their users may not be up to 18 but they just put that requirement for putting sake and so that they can have the proof that they tried to prevent underage gambling should the authorities come after them. I don't think most casino's are really concerned about the age of their users so far their profit is steady.

[Doell]

Even age limit in the past is not there at crypto gambling, you can send bitcoin to the dice site address then play it. Must be 18+ it is for gambling that will require KYC, this also applies to sites without KYC. Does't rule out the possibility of someone below playing gambling because this is about thought and responsibility, the site will not know the player without the KYC process.

The majority of gambling sites don't make any excuses about this that child(In my country person under the 18 year is a child) has possibility to access their sites, because they are concentrated on money not on the execution of rules that may affect  their budget. So if there were hard rules to sign up, there would be less users of gambling sites.

There's no way to know if the casino is a crypto-based type like all we have here, we don't even know the age of the posters here because we are in an anonymous environment, the casino just assumed that the players are old enough to understand all their actions, that's the nature of Crypto casino the possibility of underage playing on it is just one of the risk, so if you are a parent be sure your children do not know anything about Crypto based casino.

[Oluwa-btc]

I'm Nigerian, unfortunately I did gambled before I was 18, won on my first day gambling but was a little amount.
Since I was able to pay for like they received money from me they didn't see anything bad with me gambling, good thing I never stole not borrowed to gamble.
Gambling has been my highest source of income, but I still think enough KYC are done this might lead to losses, what I mean by losses is their users will gradually stop betting or gambling with that betting company.

[Oshosondy]

To know if a person is above 18 years, you will have to know this from the ID document provided by the person, any gambling site that do not require for ID verification do not know any of their customers that are below 18 it even above 18. What is most important is good parenting, teaching your children how to avoid the risky options like gambling which can even help them when they are above 18.

[Welsh]

Gambling commissions always require KYC in some shape or form. Although, I know that some betting companies allow depositing/withdrawing a certain amount before documents being uploaded sometimes, however if you ever win big, you'll be required to submit further documentation. So, if you plan on winning regularly you'll need it.

Although, if a betting website doesn't ask you for KYC at some point, you can bet your buck they aren't licensed, since most countries will require KYC. There might be some which I'm unaware of, but I'd say the majority if not all would require it.

First, they could not unless they will try to validate, second, they don't care they expect all their players to be mature enough to know what they are doing, they will not be liable if a child is playing in their casino because it's fully stated in their TOS that you are 18 years old and know all your action, we are all anonymous here, they will ask verification if there is a hint that a player is underage, they are safe thinking that all their players are grown up.

[Russlenat]

That's what is written in the TOS but it's still up to you if you will follow that TOS or not, the risk is still on you if you will not follow because they have the right to ask for KYC anytime although they are telling that you can gamble anonymously.

Have tried this when I'm still young. Not in a gambling website though but in a specific website where you will just put a check saying that you are 18 years old and then you can register now.
Internet is full of lies and so is that thing as well. You might see kids gambling already online and most of the gambling websites right now doesn't require KYC especially in crypto-based gambling sites though there are some gambling sites that are in your country that will require KYC. The website owner only knows that you are 18 or above if they will require KYC to you as a user.

[gantez]

The website owner won't know until they ask KTC to verify and sometimes, it's going to be too late when the casino asks KYC. For he may not be able to withdraw his funds anymore. Website owners will ask KYC when there is an activity they suspect or withdrawing huge funds from the casino and they will ask KYC. If the kid just gambles small amount I guess that's safe but of course its against moral.

Part of the reason to make the age limit also is that the casino has done a responsibility for itself and for the community or society and now it is the responsibility of the parent to make sure that there kids don't start involving into what they should not at the age. Part of the restrictions is for the parent to be careful about their kids and that they know the site has restriction for that age. I think if a kid trying to cheat, the casino can punish by banning if they can find out of the cheating.

Right, they have this responsibility but who does monitor this? I think there must be special actions to execute the rules implemented by the concrete casino and I understand that it may has another disadvantage for users but child rights are priority here.

Gambling platforms do not have mandatory KYC requirements, so any account detail information is not filtered by age restrictions. But the age limit regulation has been required for 18+ in TOS if users violate TOS then they are willing to risk their account will be frozen.

Some of the factors that cause the age under 18+ to engage in gambling:
1. The influence of the surrounding environment that is vulnerable to traditional gambling games, he slowly learns to be actively involved in gambling.
2. The influence of internet access is not controlled by parents until they are trapped in gambling access to betting with real money.

[noorman0]

If KYC is not required, then the age requirement will not be emphasized too much even though it is labeled +18. Even on a less stringent KYC process, minors can send their parent's ID just to play.
It is more of a disclaimer of responsibility to the customer regarding age-related risks. Each country also has a player age limit that varies according to game criteria, so an age label was added to make it easier to adapt and generalize the requirements globally.

[Cling18]

Just like other social media platforms, children could lie and create accounts freely since it isn't asking for KYC. Lots of gambling sites these days aren't asking for KYC so even kids could create their accounts and gamble. As for me, the gambling site isn't accountable for it anymore, it is our responsibility as parents to tell and explain to our kids that gambling isn't for them. We should enlighten them about its risks as early as possible.

They can ask for KYC but if they will not require documents to verify if the information is correct, then it's easy for the gamblers to lie about their real age. We are in the internet era, anything is possible on the internet and kids nowadays are very smart, so they can explore all they want, and without the guidance of their parents, they might be able to get into gambling earlier than the right time.

There is no way to know until the user goes through KYC. Some casinos require you to pass KYC before you can start playing. Some don't until later (read them terms of service!). So yeah, they can start gambling and no one will know. Even if they do have to go through KYC, they will take someone else's help to verify if they have won big. Video games says that they should be above certain age to play that game, but do they verify? Same goes for porn. They don't.

Online casinos usually require the minimum age of 18 years, what is the same in most countries to enter physical casinos. When entering a physical casino you have to show your ID. For online casinos such verifications come at the withdrawal process. A minor could potential start gambling at an online casino, but his winnings would be frozen if he tries to withdraw them. Gambling alone as a minor is dangerous and can lead to gambling addiction down the round. There should be some form of oversight from the parents for what the kids are doing online. And if you are 17 and can't wait for your 18th birthday, maybe just ask your dad to gamble together a bit. He could even teach you something.

Its just a Caution board sign but its your responsibility to obey or not and almost 99.999% people won't respect it and always click I am over 18. Probably they will have issues later of if the site asks then to comply KYC and mentally they're not ready to face financial loss as well.

Well said, majority of the users don't obey the terms to get into gambling. They just agree even if they aren't 18 years old. The issue mostly arises when the user finds difficulty in withdrawal of funds. As we've got KYC free gambling platforms it is quite normal to see underaged people getting into gambling. As said underaged people were also unable to accept loss and most people used to end their lives.

The responsibility is what they spell out and pushed to parents, counselors and guidance to monitor and watch over what is in their care (The Children). The sites won't do everything, they do the provide of games to play for winning and catching some fun. They only stop underage through KYC.

Theoretically, you do have to be "checked" before you can gamble but even a KYC procedure also known as "know your customer" can be falsified. Its quite easy to use someone elses ID or even photoshop an ID. Just like internet pornography, there is nothing stopping kids from gambling, from a realistic point of view.

Although that being said, I do support higher restrictions whenever possible. Kids should not be allowed to gamble or drink or anything that would harm their brains circuitry while their brains are still developing.

Question is how do you reinforce that?

mandatory KYC is enforced to prevent those who are 'under age' from playing gambling and destroying their learning concentration, but many gamblers reject KYC rules, so for now there is nothing that can really cut off those who play 'underage' gambling.

[YOSHIE]

A child could be lying by clicking correct sign under the register box.

That's for sure, except for gambling sites that use the original ID KYC feature during registration.

Most gambling sites do not implement KYC, in this case what is very important is the role of parents in controlling cellphones or laptops for their children, once in a while parents have to check every child's activity in operating their cellphones and laptops, whether there is an online gambling site or not, that's important.

[rijaljun]

It is already emphasized that there’s no way a website owner could determine an underage player on their system, no until KYC is done. And it is not surprised that many parents, who are supposed to be guardians responsible to direct children away from gambling, have failed to do so. I think that it cannot be pressed on which side is more liable for such, but collaborative ways to prevent and detect it must be focused more. Considering that the generation today is very adventurous, determined and revolves life on the internet, this can’t be stop just like that.

As much as this sounds like the responsibility of the casino, i dont think they are! Take for example any crypto casino, to play from there you need funds and to get these funds its most likely that some fiat was used to get these coins which in most cases do ask for some form of identification to process such a transaction but overall this is all suppose to be anonymous gambling just like crypto rode on this slogan.

Lets just accept that reality on which there's no way that it could really be stopped nor blocked those minor aged kid that would really tend to play on a site because it couldn't really be known
whether someone who do registers does have that right or above on recommended number.

Even on fiat based casinos which does have KYC doesn't ensure also about this because there were kids who do make use of their parents ID and input those informations but
it is really more rampant here on crypto on which it doesn't really ask out at all.

It's no longer hard for those kids to fake their identities and use their parents' IDs internet got a full tutorial on how they can
easily fake those documents if it's needed. Both crypto and fiat based casinos require 18 years old and above to use their platforms
but because we are in the internet era, it's not hard for someone to register and play, either using fake information or use their relatives
ID's to make sure that they can stay and enjoy playing/gambling.

No way to find out unless that casino asks for kyc. That's the only way of knowing that their gambler is a minor and shouldn't be registered on their casino. And it is possible also through admitting maybe on the chat and contacting the casino personally and would admit and ask to still allow them to gamble. Then after that, the casino has already the idea of their age. Brilliant isn't it? 
But for casinos that don't ask for kyc until your activity is painted with some suspicions then there's really no other way.

[Ulven]

I don't think Know Your Customer (KYC) will be effective in safeguarding children's rights, in fact for the safety of our children we should prevent them from surfing the internet until they reach adulthood. we should not allow children to have access to games and other entertaining activities that would make them more vulnerable to gambling in a long run.!!

Children are not only threatened by gambling addiction, but they can collide with other things that will affect them and make them commit the worst mistakes at the beginning of their career, so it is better to isolate children away from the Internet for their safety!!

Compared to kids of 90 – today Kids are way smarter. They are born in the world of Internet. Gaming and gambling is one of the very common activities they are now addicted to.  They know how to get registered to the particular site – if their parent would not allow they would grab their aunt or uncle. But these things are unstoppable and there is serious consequences if the parental control is not there.
I have witness in Vegas small kids playing games in Casinos.  I am sure they will get mature before their 18th birthday.

[ipanks]

Gambling site owners will not know who the users are accessing their site, even though they require that each user be over 18 or 20 years old. That's because the internet gives everyone the freedom, even children, to access sites that they are not allowed to see or play. It is simply a matter of how every parent should take care of their children. In addition, these children must also be aware that they must stay away from gambling because playing gambling can make them addicted and lose track of time. They can also run out of money playing various games.

They would only know on the time where there are some problems occur on a particular account specially in talks about withdrawals or something like that
on which they would really be asking out for some verification and this is where it do involves KYC and on the time it do happens then they would neither
know that its a minor who had been playing all this time but if there would be no problems then pretty sure that they wouldnt be having any clues
on whose the one playing on that particular account.There's no way of knowing it.

[dothebeats]

They won't know unless you let them. It's basically just telling them, "I swear I'm old enough to play this game" not until they ask for IDs and all that stuff. If they are to collect personal information without you knowing, or even asking for your consent, you can file a case against them or even sue them. Casinos right now would be asking for basic information on their players when the time comes that they need to withdraw, so one way or another, they will know.

[uneng]

I read every Internet gambling had requirements that must be over 18 years. if a child is under that age, how did the website owner know that child was enough to age?

When the site just asks for a simple confirmation from the user if he is over 18 years old, I think it's a measure to protect the casino from any legal issue with underage gamblers. So, when a gambler below 18 years old is spotted, the casino can't be responsible for it, since it was the gambler's fault to lie when he first accessed the casino, claiming he was above the minimum required age.

The advice of "never lie your age" doesn't make reference only to the fact underage gamblers can't manage their money properly and control their emotions efficiently, it also makes reference to the fact they won't have any rights if something goes wrong with their gambling session (that is, if the house cheats them, for an example).

They won’t find it not until you experience a problem with them and the site requires additional information from you, which can ask for your ID and this can put your account on a bigger risk. There’s a lot of underaged gambler honestly, many sites can’t control it thought it is clear on their site that only 18 and above can play, so if someone will try to gamble even if they are not allowed, they are taking a big risk with a hope of not being caught.

^ That is why most gambling casino is required to have a KYC verification to filter their customer against their prohibited users.
But then, still, they can be bypass the KYC by using other information or person to bypass the KYC procedure, and in this case, we can't blame the casino itself because it's their parent's responsibility to guide their child and avoid to involve in gambling at an early stage. Parents should always check the activity over the internet usage of their children.

[KennyR]

Educating students through the curriculum not to get into gambling below the age of 18 years might help in decreasing the number of young people below 18 getting into gambling. The user needs to understand and make decisions whether to enter gambling or not. While getting into gambling he/she should study the consequences, as well as inform it with parents. Because this can keep them within control than spending limitless and making parents worried.

[rijaljun]

Officially, most sites require you to be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling, but what if we see teenagers anonymously gambling with bitcoins? There are sites that work without kyc, but then you can never guarantee control? only in a physical casino you can easily check age. Someone who likes to gamble will always find opportunities to do so. And then it doesn't matter what the age is, they are resourceful enough.

Online casinos are also like physical casino, not all physical casinos are strict and requires an ID before you can gamble. People under 18 of age can gamble ex. 15, 16, 17 but lower than those numbers can seem to be inappropriate already as they will look very young. Guards or older people on that place is going to be concerned to stop them playing.

Gambling as a minor is dangerous not only because your early to expose in the habit but because casino personal can forcibly ask for your ID by the time you withdraw your winnings and they can call your parents to let them know the situation, you are going to get busted if your plan is to gamble secretly.

This is the problem if there’s no KYC and this is why regulations are getting strict nowadays because of the report of many underaged gamblers which they give false information so they can gamble on that site.

For now, there’s still an option for a no KYC gambling experience, and we can’t do anything about this one since its beyond our control, but if you know someone better to lecture him not to gamble at all because its too risky for him and he’s still underaged which can cost to a more risky gambling experience.

This is the risk of the player that he will get into if he is underage. The casino won't know it up until they ask for the valid ID of the player. But in most cases, that teenage gambler will get their parents' or older sibling's ID. This is where they can go around this restriction. But most casinos have a checkbox where the player should agree that he is more than 18 years old before he can use the site. Now, if in very tight position, the casino asks for valid ID from the player and the player can't provide his identity, his funds will be frozen and that is the risk he is about to take.

[rhomelmabini]

Educating students through the curriculum not to get into gambling below the age of 18 years might help in decreasing the number of young people below 18 getting into gambling. The user needs to understand and make decisions whether to enter gambling or not. While getting into gambling he/she should study the consequences, as well as inform it with parents. Because this can keep them within control than spending limitless and making parents worried.

But since it's a blockchain age we might now see that reality amongst the newer generations that may stumble upon the virtue of what online gambling is it especially if it's in outside the.to.jqttluref

[Slow death]

this is an interesting question, from what I can see betting sites put in the TOS prohibited for under 18s, betting sites or online casinos will not force all customers to KYC, but they warn that people over 18 are the only ones allowed to use the casino or betting site and of course if the person is under 18 and is caught they will not be able to withdraw the funds and will be banned I think it's not worth taking this kind of unnecessary risk, the casinos and gambling sites are following government laws and unfortunately many people who are under 18 and play in casinos do not understand that the casino can be punished by the government if it accepts people under 18 to gamble

i can't understand why people take the risk of using a casino when they know they are under 18 and when they get caught they will lose their funds

[Jasad]

I read every Internet gambling had requirements that must be over 18 years. if a child is under that age, how did the website owner know that child was enough to age?. Because I was explored every Internet gambling here that almost didn't require uploading an ID card. A child could be lying by clicking correct sign under the register box.

Depending with website gambling you use for betting or playing casino and sport games, I think all gambling site need 18 years old to be member but without need passing KYC for deposit and withdrawing how ever your age you can play there, this why cryptocurrency gambling most likely by many gambler because they can deposit trough cryptocurrency without know how about age, all gambler can play on cryptocurrency gambling site without have to upload document because need above 18 years old to get ID card.

[Accardo]

The website owner won't know until they ask KTC to verify and sometimes, it's going to be too late when the casino asks KYC. For he may not be able to withdraw his funds anymore. Website owners will ask KYC when there is an activity they suspect or withdrawing huge funds from the casino and they will ask KYC. If the kid just gambles small amount I guess that's safe but of course its against moral.

I have read some Gambling site's Terms of service that warns about under aged players using an elderly person's document to verify account when KYC is asked. If such activity is figured out the account will get banned and the funds associated to the account seized. To track such behaviors they consistently ask for different documents for KYC just to be sure that the person is qualified to Gamble on their site. But, it's just related to some countries that are strict on under aged players to prevent addiction and other silly behaviors like borrowing money from banks to gamble.

[lastcedy]

In fact, this scam usually happens because the purpose here is to somehow attract people to the gambling environment. Many gambling sites cannot make money and go bankrupt at the end of the day, even if they wanted KYC.

Children these days hardly to listen to advise, they want to experiment for themselves even that they are not up to the age. They go round at your back to carry out action you not expect they will do.. It is most important that the family takes care of the children and not to allow friends around to deceive them. Children get involved to many vices through their friends they keep.

If you are too honest and tell them that you are under 18 years old. But if not, they don't care about it unless, if they were asking KYC as this will tell everything about you. And since it wasn't required ID or any proof of who you are, that is not a problem and you can enjoy gambling.

They are looking for more gamblers to have more income, they don't mind if their players are below the required ages. many gambling sites doing this and it's up to you OP if you are honest enough and follow the rules.

[suzanne5223]

I read every Internet gambling had requirements that must be over 18 years. if a child is under that age,

The rules and regulation of activities that required maturity decision, always stated the age of users to be over 18years but we have seen a situation where an underage kid abuse this.

how did the website owner know that child was enough to age?.

Yes, the casino team may not know at the beginning but at some point, they will know cause they ask the player to go through KYC and we have a situation where some casino ask their user for basic information before they make a single withdrawal.

[TheEconomists]

I believe that the gambling site need not to verify whether you are up to the age of 18 or not but they expected you not to lie about your age and do the right thing by clicking yes are 18 and above or no you are under age. Once you click yes that you are 18 and above while you are actually under age then whatever happen to you in the process they are not responsible but yourself.

Some kids can go around this requirement by playing on casinos that don't require KYC, which you can find in a lot of crypto casinos. But with fiat-based casinos, it is compulsory to submit KYC details. With this reason, I believe, there are some underage players using crypto casinos. But in case the casino asks for identity, they will be screwed unless they will borrow someone's ID.   The age restriction is needed because it is gambling, and as others have said, it needs maturity in this kind of entertainment.

Even if you are honest a rule is still a rule they will ban you right away, if players found out that you made an exception to your rule they will lose their reputation if they say below 18 years old is not allowed why would they let one player play in the name of honesty this is a casino it's like corrupting the mind of a young child, and why would you tell them if there's no way to find out only through KYC you either take the risk and play or get caught and get your account ban.

Now, there are still many choices of gambling sites that do not apply KYC, because playing online gambling is inconvenient if we have to provide
real identity. It is because of these privacy concerns that many gambling sites end up not implementing KYC procedures, but this has negative effects
that arise. One of them is that many children who are not yet 18 years old can access the gambling site easily and can play there. This cannot be fully
blamed on the gambling site, because the gambling site has given a warning to users before registering on the site must be over 18 years old.
In the end, it is the responsibility of parents to their respective children, by conducting strict supervision if their child accesses the internet.
Or it could be that parents start educating their children from an early age that the dangers of playing gambling, at least it can make children think twice
when accessing gambling sites.

Sooner or later, online bookies will require you to fill up KYC especially if you win big and withdraw that money so if you are lying from the beginning that would be a big problem because you will need someone else to do it for you.

Many might argue but in our place i have not seen/known minors who gamble online so this is not a problem here.

Yes, because gambling is an adult thing to do. That's what the majority of them expect but there are also those circumstances that a teenager would sign up to a casino since it's on the internet and all of the casinos are accessible as long as you're not from the country that they've blocked their domain. It's really hard to figure out if a minor has already signed up.
IIRC, there's the case of this teen that has used his parent's information to be kept in that casino since there's no need for any face-to-face KYC interview. It's just all about sending an ID and filling up the form.

[Wexnident]

Most casinos only put those after you've registered, or rather ask for after. They don't usually ask it at immediate registration, since they want users to explore the site, understand the games, check out some stuff, and well, a lot of things. Nothing new really, it's also how some sites that in the end require you to do KYC end up doing. Plus, you still need a method to deposit money to them, if it were crypto casinos then it may be possible, but it'd be hard in normal online casinos if the user didn't know someone who'd allow him/her to use their card or bank account to deposit money.

[bitbollo]

...
 A child could be lying by clicking correct sign under the register box.

In the same time the child could complete any KYC using documents from a friend o relative that has at least 18 years old.
The website could not be aware of any lies !

[Gozie51]

Websites that wasn't out to scam users always provide there warning sign for you to see before you get involved in signing up. So underlying factor is to confirm scam or no scam if you are signing up with such sites you know you have to be more careful of disclosing information. A genuine casino should make it clear with restrictions and countries not eligible.

[ralle14]

Many might argue but in our place i have not seen/known minors who gamble online so this is not a problem here.

It could still become a problem as there's so many ways to do so and I think one of the main sources is the gambling sites that accept in-game items as it used to be very popular and the topic became controversial at one point. I remember valve even tried to create a solution for it by putting trade cooldowns but it wasn't enough to stop people from gambling their items.

It depends though, when it comes to crypto casinos it's usually just under their terms and conditions but there are some that require your birthdate like Sportsbet. Someone did mention above that it's usually a requirement for fiat casinos as they ask for it during registration.

[Jawhead999]

This is internet space where someone can easily access any sites whatever they want, do you think there's no child accessing porn even there's a warning you must be over 18 years old? I'm sure there are many and they check 18 years old to make them can access the sites. This similar like access casino, it's depends on you and no one can stopping you expect you click self exclusions.

Another thing is one can easily using his parents identity, photoshopped, or someone identity.

[traderethereum]

With the easiness offered by the internet, a child under 18 can easily register on a gambling site, especially on crypto gambling sites that do not require verification to start playing.
The kids simply signed up with an email and password, deposited some money into the site, played a lot of gambling games, and maybe some of them already won some money.
Gambling site owners will never know if a small part of the members are minors or maybe even the gambling site owner himself will not know if his child is playing gambling on his own site
It may be a problem and dilemma for children under 18 because they may become addicted to gambling in their youth.

It seems to me that teenagers under the age of 18 and gambling do not use their personal information to register at an online casino. They can easily register an account in the name of their parents or adult friends and if required to pass KYC just upload their documents. In addition, many teenagers have enough knowledge to buy bank statements or documents on the darknet.

You are right,this is kinda similar to alcohol&tobacco stores being restricted from selling alcohol and cigars to children and teenagers,but nobody could control those alcohol and tobacco stores 24/7.
In my country,there's absolutely no problem for children to buy alcohol and tobacco from almost every store,despite the fact that this is forbidden.
Perhaps all crypto casinos should impose mandatory ID verification,but this will piss off all the gamblers,who are above the age of 18.
I'm sure that the amount of kids/teenagers,who are gambling on crypto casinos is really small,because kids/teens don't have money to gamble.The problem remains and it will never be solved completely.

I personally think it's just for a formality that the casino sites put the condition of being over 18.
You would have noticed the same thing on porn sites as well. They also ask you if you are over 18.
Teenagers still click on Yes and watch the porn. Probably, that's what most of us here would have done 
This way the authorities cannot blame the site owners because they did ask you if you were over 18.

[madnessteat]

You're absolutely right, it's just a formality. Owners of websites containing adult content or providing adult services are required to restrict minors. They have no tools to verify each user or these tools, if used, significantly reduce the flow of users (mandatory KYC at registration).

now even small children are smart in finding ways to trick gambling sites

a year ago in my city there was a case where a child was caught using the identity of his parents to gamble, the parents were confused why so many calls from debt collectors were calling him, it turned out that while playing gambling, the child borrowed money from moneylenders and it was really worrying

But, it's just related to some countries that are strict on under aged players to prevent addiction and other silly behaviors like borrowing money from banks to gamble.

Countries that legalize gambling usually have very strict rules against gambling players, what is very unfortunate is that countries that do not legalize gambling feel safe from tricks like this, even though most minors who gamble online come from countries that do not legalize gambling

This story sounds like a fairy tale. How could a child get a loan in his parents' name if it requires either personal presence or an electronic signature if the loan is taken out online? I don't think the child can access his parents' electronic signature.

The same applies to porn sites. If an 11-year-old boy visits a porn site from his cell phone, he is asked: Are you over 18? He clicks yes and that's it. There would be a very easy way to control that but it seems that our rulers even consider healthy that kids have access to porn of all kinds from a very young age.

As for the gambling sites, you have already been told, those that do not have KYC requirements something similar happens. At most the only thing they ask you to do is to declare that you are over 18 years old or to have read the T&C (where it is said that you have to be of legal age but almost nobody reads it).
