Gambling, tourism and legal gambling age for gamblers around the world.

[Fortify]

As a gambler considering a country to visit as a tourist, this interesting article talks about the casino life and legal gambling age in some various popular travel destinations.

If your country is not included but is a travel destination, you can provide a review of the gambling activities in your country for the benefit of gamblers who may want to choose your country as a travel destination

That's a great collection of information and it's really interesting to see how different countries deal with gambling. I think different cultures certainly can accommodate it more easily than others, it's a great surprise to see somewhere like Japan is fairly restrictive about casinos and it's clearly just driven underground instead - feeding an even worse criminal element. I'm not sure I like the model of Singapore and Australia, because concentrating that much money into the hands of single companies feels too much like a monopoly, it has also been abused for things like money laundering that was discovered in one of Australia's biggest casinos and caused a huge scandal (you'd think it would be easy to detect with fewer outlets).

Yes so most of the time, if a minor won a lottery their parents will go to the branch to win the prize and the sad thing about that is their child who was the main winner will get less to nothing because in some countries like us parents will say that we are obliged to repay their hard work , but I hope some parents will still give higher portion to every minor who will the lottery, but it should be kept because minor will tend to gamble and gamble since they experience winning.

Most likely the kid will get nothing.

And as typically happening, the parents will have to keep the money for the kid and it's up to them if they'll give the kid a part or not. That will show how responsible parents they are.

They will give their kid the teaching about not to gamble but after claiming the money, that teaching might change based on what they are feeling because kids shouldn't really gamble.

But, the instance is different as it's a gifted ticket.

Different country have a different rules and regulation in terms of gambling even though they have this still it is an ideal to follow those rules but if you head forward for the gambling place this is the Gambling City of Las Vegas There are a lot.of top people and names came here just to seek a joy and excitement to them.

Actually this is one of my dream place in my bucket list.

I know there are different age limits in every country when it comes to gambling, but the average is 18+. I don't know exactly why 18+ is the minimum age to bet safely if they don't have an income, that's obviously pretty bad.

It's hard to expect them to gamble safely without causing damage and financial problems due to the many facts I've found that they turn out to be out of control. I found some children under 18+ gambling, they are very addicted but they still receive pocket money from their parents.

I don’t see any relevance even if you gamble at an age of 18 above, because in our country that age should still focus on his studies, and not on gambling. You will only be good for gambling if you are already earning a living and become financially stable because in that stage, gambling will only be for fun and not for profit making. However, there are still minors who end up gambling most particularly in online casinos, and sad to say if they can’t be guided by their parents, they will fall definitely in gambling addiction.

Are the T/C's really different in other countries? Even in the same casino? I don't think so; how's that even possible?
Yunno,the means of operation must TALLY so as to be able to manage or stop loss. Every casino has a standard; whereupon this standards ain't following, then apparently, the opposite of the purpose of Creation is what they'll have.
Well, Les Vegas is a nice place for stable bettors and fun gamblers (yes, alot of people gamble fot the fun). The cost of living is high and anyone planning to visit VEGAS on residual purpose just for gambling, then I guess they should have got some heavy side income.

We just accept the fact that on every place, there's always the difference in talks about laws and regulation.For people or individuals then it would really be just a norm that we do have different state or
condition when it comes to finances or on things that we've been dealing.
Gambling is a huge industry and we know that Vegas is been known and popular but of course, lots had been wishing to go into that place but expect that the level or cost of living
and spending there would really be entirely too far off if you do came from developing countries.

Casinos becomes one of the tourist destination in many countries, and personally my dream is also to experience playing with those casinos. With those rules and regulations, some country might impose a stricter regulations in order to protect the interest of the public. If you feel not safe with those rules, then you can easily travel to gamble or you can also play online if the rules allows you, just choose the best option.

-Delaware has the strongest regulations around gambling. Players must be at least 18 years old to play the State Lottery. However, an 18-year old may purchase a lottery ticket and give it to a younger person as a gift.
An interesting question is, If the younger person wins the lottery from the gifted ticket, will the state agree too pay them or wait till they come of legal age??

There is a conflict on that term if they don't allow below 18 years to play the state lottery then they should not let a younger person acquire a lottery ticket even as a gift, since they do not allow 18 years to play the State Lottery they will either void it or wait for the kid to reach 18 years old to receive his prize but what if the younger person is only 10 years when he receives the lottery ticket and won a jackpot he'll have to wait 8 years to receive the prize, it's better not to give the younger person a lottery ticket in case of a win there will be issues.

I agree such a law is very odd, where I live the law is incredibly simple, you need to be 18 years old in order to gamble and if you are not then you are not allowed to do it, so even if someone were to give a lottery ticket to someone that is underage at that moment that lottery ticket technically became invalid and no prize money will be paid in the case it won.

Now if such a a ticket actually won I doubt people will be as dumb as to try to make the minor to get the prize but at least I think the law makes more sense where I live.

This is really happening. In my country, there are too many Chinese tourists that are not just mainly focused on visiting our beautiful attractions. Many of them are here for the purpose of gambling. China's economy is becoming too huge and there are many more rich Chinese now than before. And with China's mainland banning gambling, it is normal for those rich Chinese to travel regularly for gambling purposes. The nearest places are Macau, Philippines, Singapore, and they are also even seen in Europe and US casinos.

People here have easy access to casinos and gambling places. Anyone can gamble here as long as they are 18 and above but I can't remember security guards checking our age maybe if your face looked very young and they will ask your age.

Gamblers mostly like to travel over the world.Because the people who like to do adventure will like the different set of gambling games.The like the trill of playing gambling.Expect few states,most of the States in US allow the casino and gambling.But they make some age limited to 18-21.The minimum age limit to make a equal game among the players.The people who attain of 18 ages will have some analytical knowledge as compared to low age people.Many outsiders can do gambling in Australia with the minimum of 18 years.Some people travel to Australia to enjoy the tourist place and the gambling.The county based on Muslim religion,almost not involved in the gambling as compared to other countries.

Las Vegas may be one of the gambling tourist destinations for people who love to gamble because it is a city that allows gambling. But we don't know what the regulations are in that city and I think you should know the rules first before you start coming to that city.

But I don't want to go to Las Vegas because, in my opinion, the city already has many local or foreign gamblers who want to gamble there. Perhaps other destinations would be more worthy of a visit.

Those gamblers who are adventurous will really love to travel and gamble at the same time if they have a spare time. Or to put it much better, these adventurous people really find time and make time just to gamble whenever they visit new places to experience the culture, tradition, and the norms of the spot they are in. I guess this gives them the sense of satisfaction and enjoyment knowing and actually getting to play the usual games and betting of the locals. It's a nice way to make your heart pumping as well and of course, to know new strategies and interact with the people in the community.

Those religious countries such as those largely populated by Muslims aren't really into gambling, that's right. Because they have beliefs and principles to uphold. They are conservative and they follow what's written in their Quran. Hence, you'll seldom see gambling tourist sites in those countries since gambling is a sin according to what they believe in. And we should respect that. There are many places that are liberated and an adventurous gambler would have fun to, such as in Las Vegas, Mexico, Macao, and so on.

In the first place, even if an unaware gambler went to Muslim countries where gambling is prohibited, they can't do gambling obviously because no gambling places around. Instead, they will just go there as a normal tourist and just enjoy the trip.

But you know, even in a place where gambling is illegal, there are culprits that can operate gambling under the shadow. Although I doubt an unaware gambler will just easily play on those as that was hard to find in a country where gambling is illegal.

But, the instance is different as it's a gifted ticket.

That is if that specific country will let the parents claim the prize because it's minor who won in the first place, minor is prohibited to gamble, so in most cases, the prize is not claimable. But given the scenario above, most of the time, parents will just ask their kid what they wanted, and they will buy it for them as a consolation and the rest will be set aside and is up to the parent's decision what to do about it.

The rules of each casino will indeed vary depending on which country they are in. One of the largest casinos in the world, Winstar World Casino, is the largest casino in the world in the United States. it is a place that everyone who loves gambling really wants to visit and becomes an adult tourist destination who will be spoiled with various kinds of casino games that adults can play. certain rules will be applied. but the euphoria of playing live at a gambling place can't be beat with an online casino.

Yes, each country and sometimes each province or state have their own set or rules that is why if you're planning to gambling in that specific place, it's much better to read up their rules first to have some first hand knowledge before going. And I agree, if you have a lot of money and a good entertainment then Las Vegas is indeed the place to be or Macau as they are also known as Las Vegas of Asia.

It is important to be aware of the local laws of the places we visit, not only when it comes to gambling but to many of the behaviors which may be legal where we live but which are illegal at the place we are currently in.

And we must remember as well that laws can be different now only when it comes to countries but even when it comes to states, as there have been cases of people which got into a lot of trouble because they were living in a state in which the consumption of cannabis was legal but then they passed the border of a state in which it was illegal, then they got arrested for some other reason and then they were found with a lot of cannabis on them and  had to spend some time in jail because of their mistake.

An interesting question is, If the younger person wins the lottery from the gifted ticket, will the state agree too pay them or wait till they come of legal age??

I am pretty sure the lottery company will have to pay no matter what. As long as the ticket was bought by a person that is at least 18 years old there is no issue. I remember me and my sister got a one year lottery ticket from my uncle for christmas. We had a fixed number that we could check every week for possible winnings. In 52 weeks I managed to win two times a small amount, and even though I was only 14/15 years old back then I had no problem getting my winnings in the shop without my parents. Winning the jackpot would be very different of course, for the millions you need to directly contact the company and even decide if you want all the money at once, or fixed monthly payout. For that you definitely need your parents to sign the contracts in your name. But the lottery company can't withhold the money from you. So far my gambling highlight was in Las Vegas, seeing all these amazing casino from the inside was an great vacation and I hope to go there again eventually. My next gambling vacation is going to be in Macau, I really want to see the difference between the Asian gambling atmosphere and the European/American one.

Maybe if it's a small win, the casino or shop that provides the lottery will pay you.
But for big casinos, I think they will think twice if you can win a big amount of money, especially if you are under 18 years old.
Winning the jackpot for adults will be very exciting because they can use the money for various things.
But it will be different if the winner is a child who is not even 18 years old because there is a prohibition on gambling, not for children.

As a gambler considering a country to visit as a tourist, this interesting article talks about the casino life and legal gambling age in some various popular travel destinations.

Las Vegas is a very shiny place, its luster is very attractive to the people of the world as a tourist holiday destination.
a very sparkling city and very interesting for many people to visit it, including for me personally. maybe if there is a chance and luck, I will explore Las Vegas as the main destination.

For gambling destinations in Asia, I have visited several. Basically I am very excited when I visit several countries that have casino cities, such as Macau, Genting Malaysia, Marina Bay Sands Casino Singapore. but I have never visited from all the list of casinos that you show except Macau and Singapore.
