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

[Invester]

There are cases where gambling becomes a tourist destination. Las Vegas, Monte Carlo, Macau, Singapore and Japan are very familiar to me when it comes to casinos visited by local and foreign tourists in order to gamble.

I'm setting Las Vegas as an example. It is a desert and it is hot. Tourists want to enjoy and relax in their travels and a desert isn't the place for it. But thanks to its variety of huge casinos it also attracted many forms of events regularly. This made Las Vegas as the entertainment and gambling capital of the world even if it is located in a desert.

Gambling Age In Egypt

Egypt is rich in history and gambling has been a big part of it, going back thousands of years. But it’s important to note that Egypt is a Muslim country, meaning that the Qur’an prohibits any form of gambling.

However, even though Muslim locals cannot gamble, the Egyptian government has legalized gambling for tourists. The only way locals can get involved is through the lottery that includes sports betting.

For tourists, there are 30 fully-licensed casinos in Egypt. You are required to show your passport upon entry to prove you are not a resident, while the main currency used is the US dollar. Even though the main currency is the pound, the Egyptian casinos will not accept it.

The gambling age of Egypt is 18 years of age, although a few of the casinos require players to be at least 21 years old.

For me Egypt would be a very interesting place to visit based on its rich history and cultural background and it is close to my location. It's also a good news that regardless of the limitations placed by the Sharia law on gambling, tourist are given the privilege to gamble. The government knows that gamble would be a good source of revenue, hence they had to allow tourist access it.

In my country gambling is legal and the everyone that is 18+ can gamble. But it is important to note that the northern part of my country is dominated by Muslims, hence you might not have varieties of gambling firms, but the southern part is more open, hence you would have access to all forms of gambling. The most popular game used in gambling is football.

I think that local forum members prefer online crypto gambling 
In any case, I would like to see not just a list of countries, but specific features that these countries offer for gamblers and which are worth traveling. An ordinary casino, even a very chic one, remains so and they differ little from each other.

I don't have experience about these.

But, do some people from "Bitcointalk" have experience like in "Vegas". Do they asking some "ID" before we entering the casino or not? I only know, while you an expert (Like Counting Blackjack) Then they will try to ask your ID.

I would be extra careful with gambling in foreign countries. There are always people looking to screw over tourists in the most heinous fashions possible. And I do not only mean scammers and crooks, but also the government and regulatory bodies. Although also calling them crooks is not too far from the actual truth. There is a lot of illegal gambling in some asian countries which do not really care about your age or whether you are treated fairly. In most Europeans countries the gambling is quite bland due to the fact that its been over-regulated to death. So for example, in Germany you will find it hard to play the same kind of games as in Las Vegas, for example. So I do not recommend gambling in Europe.

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.

Most sites do monitor the age of the customers. However, that is unfortunately not always possible. There are sites that do not perform KYC, how can you determine whether someone is of the minimum playing age to be able to gamble? If we think of gambling with bitcoins, then that cannot be checked anyway. It is still verifiable for money flows that go through the bank or e-wallets. I think the KYC is the only option. In local casinos in cities it is easier to supervise since everyone there has to identify themselves when you walk in.

Macau is the only place I have experience with, Vegas remains to be a dream. But of course, online gambling experience is what I'm focusing currently and I'm having fun exploring other platforms and check what they have in store for me. As for my Macau experience, it is somewhat a normal one since most of what they offer there, I get in the Philippines—at least what I experienced. Meals that they offer are good, the casino proper is not that crowded, and there is a semblance of elegance everywhere. Also, lots of gambling houses can be seen in just a single street, kind of what they have in Vegas IMO.

^That is awesome dude, how I wish I experience that too because, to be honest, I never experience gambling in a real casino.
Every gambler's dream is to come to Vegas to experience an elegant casino but I think only those rich or middle-class people will come to that place and probably people like me will be preferred to use an online casino over a real casino which is very expensive.
Such a great experience that I wanted to try but of course, it needs a lot of money.

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.....

The bottom line here is, is easy to implement gambling restrictions for young people in physical casinos because you need to present your ID and documents and they will see you physically, but when it comes online it's very different, kids nowadays are smarter and can bypass those terms and when they are asked with KYC they can use credentials of their older members of the family or friends.

My country is still not consider as one of the good spot for gambling but in terms of local transactions, I can say that casinos already help a lot of people especially now that we can easily gamble online.

Our department of tourism is eyeing to have a casino in one of the best tourist spot in my country and not just like they, they are already adopting cryptocurrency for the transactions so hopefully this will push through because for sure, it will create huge number of tourist and that could affect the life of the locals.

The only two localities I as a gambler would like to visit in a tourism trip are Las Vegas as the biggest one which I dream to go there and Maccau which I don't care that much even if I don't visit it one time in my life but Las Vegas is in my long term agenda to visit and why not to hit a multi million dollar jackpot there  .

All other places mentioned here are not that impressive to me and do not offer the same treatment as Las Vegas offers.

I always wanted to visit the gambling capital of the world since I am curious about it and obviously for bragging rights that i have been to Macau and visits their known gambling casino there.  I also wanted to check on Las Vegas, it is a no brainer to chose Las Vegas as one of the tourist destination being a gambler.


I think most of the United states gambling Casino allows only 21 years old and up there are a few states that allow 18 -20 years old to gamble but Las Vegas only allows 21 years and above. Anyway here is the list of  ages that is allowed to gamble in each state.

most only different rules in each country that are enforced by each casino house have no special impact if we judge. but yes I agree with you that forum members are more interested in crypto casinos than real casino houses. Another factor of online gambling with a real casino house can be compared to the nuances of the increasingly modern game in the current century. some services may be more flexible with the services they provide, the rest are just as usual. maybe if I visit in the future I will prefer a casino that has easier rules than others like in England.

And this will be the reason why later on, we will see stats stating online casinos greatly attract youngsters.
As they can go around with the KYC requirement or some are not requiring any proof with regard to the age of the player.
So parents should look out for their kids because they still need guidance accessing these gambling sites.
If they know what they are getting into, they may be careful on what they are doing. But if not, they can easily get addicted to their games.
At least with physical casinos, the casinos themselves can restrict the people who are getting into their establishments.

In Brazil, gambling is still prohibited, but even so, I would like to comment that we are moving towards possibly reversing this situation.
Earlier this year the Chamber of Deputies (one of our parliaments that discuss and pass laws) was in favor of a bill that could allow gambling.
However, unfortunately, I believe that this will still take a few years to get off the ground, even because we currently have a president in the Brazilian government who is quite conservative to the "good customs" of the family and the Christian church.

We can't deny that if someone has gambling as a hobby, wherever they are going, they will commonly ask for a place for gambling. This is done commonly to widen their experiences and also enjoy the new ambiance of gambling in the new area. But as you say that not all countries legalize gambling and more to prohibit it. That is why many people may face some difficulties with it.
but this may not happen in some people who have experienced it. Commonly, they will search for information from many sources, from the internet, college, friends, or other people who know each other somewhere new about gambling offline.
And believe it or not, actually, many popular truism areas will actually have gambling offline sites, but this may be undercover, I mean they may be illegal but can operate because they are hidden enough.

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??

Well, that's a tricky question.

But we have to dig down the rules that they have so, if there's an age limit and it's on the clause that they won't be allowed. I guess they'll have to consider to find first a guardian.

Although they have the means of voiding that winning lottery ticket but I don't think that they'll do such decision. They'll just have to shred possibilities for the claimant.

The point is that the younger person was now allowed to gamble in the first place. So if he was gambling at a minor age, this means he is violating the government/gambling law and should be punished.

In this case, the gambler should not be given the amount at any age but he should be fined for gambling at a young age which is harmful to himself, his guardians, and for the state too.

I wasn't supposed to be in Macau when I visited there. It was a last-minute, conscious decision to visit the said place and I somewhat regretted it I was there for only 8 hours and left immediately taking the next flight home due to personal reasons. The Venetian is a good place, and not a lot of people there too so you can kinda chill inside the casino proper and enjoy yourself. Not a lot of people roaming around too unlike what they post in blogs and other articles. Just played some slots and roulettes for a few sessions and it became boring.

In Vegas you have tons of options to gamble and lots of places to go to. In Macau, it's a so-so destination IMO

It probably depends on the casino's protocol as I remember one of my friends got away with it since he looked above the age requirement even though he was below 21 at the time, eventually though he was caught since one of the customers knew him as he's one of the professors in his school.

but I doubt if in this age of the internet, kids below 17 years have not experienced to gamble, even these young people are playing games they are still gambling in a subtle way, they bet for items for their characters and buy stuff to have an edge against their opponents, this age restriction only applies to physical casinos and offline lotteries but not online, we are living in a very liberal and technology-driven environment.

Yup, as more casinos have fewer requirements for registration it only takes minutes to visit a casino and start gambling. Age restriction can still be applied online though but not all casinos prefer to strictly enforce it since it could drive away some of their users.
