Minimum Age to gamble

[Blitzboy]

`

exactly. every parent in any country does not want their child to be addicted to negative activities such as addiction and always prevent in every way as you say from tracking his every activity. and I also agree that sometimes parent who are addicted to gambling usually hide their addiction or gambling activity from their children because they want to maintain the reputation of their parent and are afraid that this addictive behavior will also be carried out by their children.
I myself do the same thing every time I gamble. I never show my gambling activities in front of my children and prefer to be alone in a certain room to cover my bets. because sometimes the gambling addiction experienced by young people can start from the bad habits of their parents who show addiction to their children so that they will ignore whatever their parents prevent them from.

In the era of advanced technology like today, it may be difficult for parents to track their children activity because young people now understand better how to hide things from other people, even their own families.

Have you ever found it ironic that, even while you indulge in bad behavior, you fret that your children will follow in your footsteps? Keep in mind that children have keen observational skills. You may be able to avoid their suspicion, but they may still be able to sense the tension and anxiety you're under because of your gaming.

But lets move on from it. The effort you put into keeping your children from doing wrong could be better put to use encouraging them to do right. Do things with them that will get their brains, bodies, and imaginations working. Dont use your house as a location to hide your poor behavior; instead, make it a haven for healthy pursuits.

Also, have faith in the moral fortitude and integrity of today's youth. They may surprise you with their level of comprehension and their capacity for sound decision making

I came across an article How Old Do You Have to Be to Gamble in USA?. In this article, i saw that the minimum age to gamble is between 18 to 21 years. I wonder if the online casino do follow this minimum age for gambling.

Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone who is underage to not to gamble?
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?
...

because every system in the casino is made by humans, there is no such thing as perfect, so gambling sites often have difficulty detecting whether those playing on their sites are adults or children, even though the gambling sites already require KYC because now there are many ways to manipulate KYC.

based on what I know, even in countries where gambling is legal, when casinos get a license they must obey the rules set and allowing minors to gamble is a serious violation so you must report to the authorities if you find minors gambling.

Very correct as I know this because my country is actually a gamble legalized country. The gamble casino are all under one governing body which are the ones responsible for regulation and all the activities of most casino registered here and its also in the law that under age people are restricted to such servicea but yet as humans we are prone to violation of laws but I know they is serious monetary penalty for any casino caught breaking that rules and law.

I think the real threat comes with casinos in the Internet. Some of the things that could stop someone from losing money with gambling are absent on the Internet casinos. Like when you are under age, that is the first barrier because you can't enter a physical casino unless you have a fake ID, but let's leave that aside. When you sit at your computer and are completely trashed because of alcohol or drugs, nobody is going to stop you until either your payment methods don't work anymore or you fall into coma because you are completely wasted. In a physical casino they would make you leave the place at some point. There is also less social pressure in online casinos because nobody can see you and nobody usually knows you, but in a physical casino someone you know could spot you and you don't want to embarrass yourself and perhaps find a good moment to end the session yourself. The Internet makes access to many things so easy. Porn is a good example because those people who went to porn cinemas would never go as often into a porn cinema as they would attend a porn website even if both was for free theoretically.

Yes, that's quite funny mate and I definitely agree to the words you are saying because that is true. I also don't feel the difference when I was still 15 years old and even when I'm already 20 years old, I may have a bit of improvement but my priorities and mindset are somehow the same. Everything are almost the same because even a 20 years old can still be called a teenager, not by term but by choices that they made.

Hence why casinos and online casinos are requiring the gamblers to be at least 21 years old and above because by that time, most people do know how to weigh some things.

I agree, by that time people are starting to know each capabilities and interest. We started to develop our brains and as well as they way we think, environment play a big role in our character development. Teens with younger age are very impulsive and easy to be targetted by other people , most of them cannot manager their greed inside and when they can't control it , it will become problem in the future.

I don't know in which countries a 21-year-old begins to be considered an adult personally and I personally see and think that a person who is already 18 years old is the owner of his actions, and that is something that many countries accept, I think that the advantage that a 21-year-old will have is that he will obviously be a more mature person, because he has had new experiences and knows that anything can affect anything, each act has its consequences, in my country he is considered of legal age and is of legal age at 18, no It seems to me a bad idea to think that a person owns their actions, it may be that at 15 years old some still need to live experiences and mature.

I know that in European countries things are different, everyone has their own way of doing things, their rules and since a person can be relevant for any act, personally, I think the ideal age is 18, because at that age you are not a child, you are young but you have to be mature enough to take on any type of act and this is something that must be put into the mind of every young person, you know what is good and what is bad, it is also an age to start earning money and know what to spend and where no

The attitude of young people is currently different, I don't know, but I see that they are very focused on digital, it is not uncommon for them to enter casino and sports betting platforms where they comply with KYC, and still play, so sometimes the freedoms they give in digital can become a double-edged sword, it is for this reason that we as parents, or those who are parents, are always supervising them, with parental control or whatever, but supervising them to avoid any sinister or ugly thing, at least before the age of 18.

Although personally I am a person that even if my children turn 18, I will always continue to protect and advise them, especially when it comes to casinos, sports betting games, I will pass on my way of playing to protect them from addiction problems.

[Hypnosis00]

You are right that mate the activity of the children is based on the parent's hands which means like what you said above if the parents are very strict then the children can not access the online casino easily. But if the parents are not just strict and let their children do what they want to do and then one thing is for sure they will become a gambler at an early age as we all know the curiosity of children make them fall into the gambling world.

I don't think there is a need to be strict in supervising children because it will make them rebel and it is better to give them an understanding of the dangers of gambling. It would be better for them than parents having strict rules in supervising their children. I think today's children understand more about the dangers of gambling because they can get news about gambling addiction from the internet and see its impact on people who have experienced gambling addiction. It will keep them away from gambling and they will not try to approach it because of the danger.

We have to control our kids in a good way, not because we are strict but because we are very concerned about what they are doing as well. Because with their young age, they need guidance and we guide them in the right path. Allowing them what they wanted is just we are giving them a chance to fall in the wrong direction and later on we regrets it. For me, it was not a good idea from letting them to gamble because it means that we are giving them a chance to become addicted too early and the impact for it is bad for their mindset.

Well, it's good to train a child in such a way that if they are old, they will always remember the good teachings and have good moral behaviour. But sometimes you can still train some kids with good morals, but due to peer pressure, the influence of friends, and the kind of environment they find themselves in, will determine how they behave, and again, no matter how old a kid is, as long as they are no longer infants, that means they can differentiate between what's right (good) and what's not right (bad). At such times, they can give themselves good advice, which really counts compared to advice from their guidance. Remember that kids do have their decisions too; once they decide never to do something, no matter how hard you try to talk them into it, they will not agree to whatever you say. So, sometimes it's not just from upbringing or parenting.

Implementing kyc can’t stop minors from gambling, the only thing I know is that it can reduce it, their I no way gambling sites can completely fish out under age gamblers using their website, their are lots of way which kyc can be manipulated, and their are still lots of casino sites that those not require kyc before using them, underage gamblers are given free opportunity to gamble because I don’t know any way which minor gamblers will be fished out, so am sure underage gamblers will rather prefer to go for gambling site’s without kyc.

based on what I know, even in countries where gambling is legal, when casinos get a license they must obey the rules set and allowing minors to gamble is a serious violation so you must report to the authorities if you find minors gambling.

I don’t know if their will be any gambling site that will intentionally allow minors to gamble, because they know it might end up causing problem for them, so they are also trying to fish out the under age gamblers which they noticed, but we all know it’s not possible for all to be discovered, their are still some that will really be smart that gambling sites won’t be able to discover that they are underage gambler.

[tusandii]

Of course, in any country, every parent will definitely monitor and track the activities of their children, but unfortunately there are still many parents who don't really pay attention to what their children are doing, so many underage children have entered and tried to gamble.
If the gambling habit has been left on, it is very likely that in the next few years they will lose their way in life because they have become a gambling addict.
The development of the era cannot be the main reason why many children are getting to know gambling because the biggest mistake lies in parents who are negligent in supervision.

If a parent is unable to track the activity of children then I don't think they need to be called a parent. It is better that the government takes the custody of the children and let the so called parents enjoy thier life. These parents are those who became parent accidentally otherwise why won't they keep a track of their children. Whatever happens a parents primary responsibility is the children.

Banyak orang tua yang sibuk bekerja dan mencari nafkah untuk keluarganya sehingga tidak bisa benar-benar memantau aktivitas anak namun tetap memperhatikan dan memberikan nasehat yang tepat sehingga tidak semua orang tua dapat memantau aktivitas anaknya.
Sebenarnya tidak perlu melakukan tracking aktivitas, namun dengan memperhatikan dan selalu membatasi penggunaan handphone dapat semakin meminimalisir aktivitas perjudian yang dilakukan oleh seorang anak itu sendiri.
Tapi ya itu semua tergantung bagaimana seorang ayah dan ibu mendidik dan memperhatikan anak-anaknya karena kesibukan tidak bisa dijadikan alasan untuk lalai dalam pengawasan.

In reality gambling sites are too many which is many of them don't have licensed which means they are not too strict and even minors can play with them they won't Ask KYC so that many minors can access their sites and play. Like what you said mate if the gambling industries want to lesser the minors got involved in gambling then all they can do is to ask KYC in their every player in order to know if that player is an adult or a kid.

Sometimes you need to be strict with your children to discipline them, because there are some children who cannot be advised and they think that what they are doing is not wrong. This is where the role of strict parents is very important to be able to give a deterrent effect to these children so that they can listen more and not get involved in gambling because it is not yet the time for them. Moreover, the money they are betting on is their own parents' money, of course, parents have the right to be strict with their children.

It is necessary to be strict with children, but the average parent is too strict in supervising them. They can't tell the difference between being assertive and forbidding their children. The role of parents is very important in shaping their children's character to become a child who is responsible for themselves so that our children have better self-control than their friends. Moreover, the current situation is very different from a few years ago.

We have to control our kids in a good way, not because we are strict but because we are very concerned about what they are doing as well. Because with their young age, they need guidance and we guide them in the right path. Allowing them what they wanted is just we are giving them a chance to fall in the wrong direction and later on we regrets it.

Yes, because they are our children that we must guide and look after properly and well. We help him to grow well without having to experience the bad things that other children have experienced. Apart from that, we can also give them an understanding that there are bad things around them so they have to be able to take good care of themselves. Their young age can make them lose self-control if we can't guide them properly and they might end up falling into bad things. And it will make us and our children will regret it.

So, sometimes it's not just from upbringing or parenting.

but educating the young is just one of the many aspects to consider. I believe 18 years of old for a person would be viable. At that age, most teens are already mature enough to think. They can access IDs for KYC, credits, and debits. Legally, they are expected to be a responsible contributor to the society. So when they do things that are unruly to the law, then they are accountable to it because they are no longer a minor.

This will benefit both the participants and the business owners of the casino for a major loss.

Right and we cannot blame them if they are evading the licensing because that is quite expensive and besides, almost all of the casinos are after the same thing and that is to gather clients as much as possible to gain profits as much as possible. It's just these unlicensed casinos don't have to ask for some KYC because there is no need for them to filter the ages and it doesn't matter to them whether if their clients are still underage or not. The only thing that these licensed casinos are asking for KYC is for the sole reason that they have to enforce it legally.

Could take the other side on this subject, its never too early to learn.   Its better to learn all the rules and dynamics to any large subject before engaging personally with any possibly loss risking activity, we can apply that to guns, gambling, drugs anything.  Education isn't a bad thing, that perhaps should be the emphasis not a law just saying no.  I don't especially believe government does anything useful purely making a law to fine people and nothing else; we gained nothing but a tax from their oversight and regime so useless then
  People might be horrified at this idea but I learnt statistics at an early age, its invariably helped me quantify all kinds of statistics and risks in life as well gambling factors leading to a win rather just all or nothing hopes and dreams.  For sure its a positive to educate people not blindly ban imo.

[peter0425]

at least more states looking for 21 years old before being legal to gamble and that is much better than most countries that only  asks for 18 years old in which for me still not that completely aware of life and may fool around to become addicted in gambling.
I wish that this is truly implemented and not just a use to make gambling sounds good but many are not bringing this to reality.

Better? Come on. In most states kids at 18 can buy guns and most even assault rifles, and in past kids were allowed to get guns and use them in shooting range from 14, and now it turns that they can jerk off slots only from 21 And for example, in Alaska (there are other states) if you are 16, you can take your dad or other guardian, go to gun store and buy a gun. Yet this kid is not allowed to go to casino and have some fun spending his piggy bank money in blackjack. Amazing.

How come that it isn't better when I was talking about 18 years old and above when you are even pointing to 14 years old and about Guns ? this is gambling mate , and I don't know why you come to that part , and also we are talking about those states that has implementing 18to21 years old so let us consider it as brighter side .

I know many people do not believe in the Bible but I will have to use it for those who believe in it,
proverb said it all I don't know if I should use this Bible quots here, but it's just me given an advise.

If a parent is unable to track the activity of children then I don't think they need to be called a parent.

If your child is been trained like how the Bible quoted it I don't think the child will go the other way round, in other case allowing the government to control your child for you in other for the child to be disciplined, that's a very wrong idea, because if the child have any little advantage of it's self he will do something the parents will regret thinking it's a good idea for him, if your child is well trained he/she will be very careful of what's he's doing and were he's going, although everyone has a life to live and if a child is above the age of 18+ he/she can do whatever he wants because he's matured enough to know what's good and what's bad and that is his/her life.

The point of my post was that it is better to let kids gamble from 14 instead of 18 or 21, because it makes no sense when you can but gun at 14, but can drink alcohol and gamble from 21 only. and you really think that a kid at 21 is much smarter than a 18 yo kid? Imho it is not about age. These 3 years dont make much difference in general. It is either you realise consequences or not. Sometimes kids are more forward-looking at the age when they sell lemonade at the yard, than guys at 40+ who take credits to buy crypto

At least if parents can educate their children well from childhood to adulthood, their children will have a solid foundation that will help them develop their own potential for the good of their lives. Parents will certainly try to make their children happy. Sometimes the method is not quite right because the average parent now only pays attention to material problems for their children without approaching them as parents and having a heart-to-heart talk with their children. Parents think if they can meet their child's needs, that's enough when it's not. Children also need love from their parents, which is not something related to the physical but spiritual. And when parents can do it, children can live well.

Parents are a child's guide. In a family where parents take care of their children at all times, their children are also obliged to them. It is the responsibility of parents to give proper education to their children because they do not understand what is right and what is wrong. Parents feel the need to take care of him till a certain age. When the child is able to understand his own good and bad, he is released. However, 18 years of age is considered to be the age of majority for a child. After that it is up to him how that child will lead his life.

Talking about the minimum age for gambling,I think it depends on the location where the child grows up,if he grows up in a geographical entity where children around 14 are gambling,there is every tendency that the child will gamble,but if he grows up at a place where children are not allowed to gamble,then the children around that geographical entity have escaped it.In some places or betting centers,they paste on their notice wall that 18 is the minimum age for children,while some places might actually say 16,there is no minimum age to children gambling.What I see as the best thing to do is to make your child not to have access to any gambling site,or restricting him from the set of children that you see will lure them into gambling,because once addiction steps in,there is every tendency that you have lost that child. Therefore,training a child in a location where gambling is not rampant is ideal.

Parents are a child's guide. In a family where parents take care of their children at all times, their children are also obliged to them. It is the responsibility of parents to give proper education to their children because they do not understand what is right and what is wrong. Parents feel the need to take care of him till a certain age. When the child is able to understand his own good and bad, he is released. However, 18 years of age is considered to be the age of majority for a child. After that it is up to him how that child will lead his life.

Talking about the minimum age for gambling,I think it depends on the location where the child grows up,if he grows up in a geographical entity where children around 14 are gambling,there is every tendency that the child will gamble,but if he grows up at a place where children are not allowed to gamble,then the children around that geographical entity have escaped it.In some places or betting centers,they paste on their notice wall that 18 is the minimum age for children,while some places might actually say 16,there is no minimum age to children gambling.What I see as the best thing to do is to make your child not to have access to any gambling site,or restricting him from the set of children that you see will lure them into gambling,because once addiction steps in,there is every tendency that you have lost that child. Therefore,training a child in a location where gambling is not rampant is ideal.

Trying to make out some generalization when it comes to numbers then it would be playing around 18-21 years old on which this had been considered to be the legal age on which someone could be able to engage into
something or been allowed on doing so. This isnt only talking about gambling but also in other things like smoking or going to bar or with liquor on which this had been the legal age on which  you could really make
someone be allowed on doing so on which it is really just that right that there would really be prohibition something like this because we know that youngsters arent really that supposed to deal up with
something like this which would really be putting them in harm.

Being not on your good awareness and thinking would really be leading into bad decisions which is something that needs to be that to be on the right age for you to
engage on.
