Minimum Age to gamble

[ethereumhunter]

That's why the role of parents is very important here, there are many children around me who already use cellphones but I don't know whether they are using cellphones well or not because when I observe them it seems like their parents have given them free rein. What I'm afraid of here is that if children are not restricted when playing on cellphones, it's not impossible that they will access things that are inappropriate for their age, there are also many around me (adults) who gamble openly, and what I'm afraid of that It is bad for them (children) to follow a path that is not appropriate for them.

There is no doubt about the importance of the role of parents towards their children because if parents can supervise their children when using their phones and always tell them to be careful, their children will learn to be responsible for what they do. Their children will also not use their phones for things that are not good for them and will be careful when browsing the internet. Their children know that the internet means a world without borders and it depends on how they use the internet. Parents don't need to strictly forbid it because that will only make their children rebel and instead, their curiosity will increase and they will find out for themselves. And that will make them take the wrong path, especially if they don't have guidance from their parents in using their phones.

Man , age is certain a problem among bettors. I think the regular age should be 18 but I saw kids under 18 entering bookies and placing bets and no one gave them out from the location and I find this actually sad. There should be rules for underage betting and controls should be made within the agencies in order to prevent minors to bet. Per example in Romania , we have a lot of problems because of betting companies as their adds are everywhere ...near schools , high school , etc...so basically no matter where you go , you see a gambling ad.

Of course there are rules to be followed specially age in gambling, here it's 21, so under that age, you can't go inside a land base casinos. And even gamblers who are above 21 years of age, most of the time the security will have to ask for a ID.

However, in the cases that you mentioned, perhaps the bookies know  the rule but from them it's business and so they allowed underage to make a bet on their bookies. But it's a risk for them though, but they are willing so hopefully someone will have to report them as allowing this kids to bet on them.

In almost all countries, citizens are issued an ID card at age 18. using which he can do kyc verification anywhereIn this case he can do KYC verification on a gambling site using that ID card  So in general the minimum age for gambling should be 18. But today's youth are not willing to accept this. Gambling has now made a huge impact among the youth as online casinos are very attractive and easily accessible. and so it cannot be prevented

Adolescents and young adults are more prone to develop gambling addiction due to the increase in online gambling, as they may see gambling as a way to reduce their symptoms of anxiety or depression. It's really hard to stop nowadays it is really difficult to determine the age where young people can play as much as they want through mobile but it is not possible in countries like USA they have set the age limit for gambling. Anyone under the age of 21 cannot participate in gambling and there are penalties for breaking the law.

And that will make them take the wrong path, especially if they don't have guidance from their parents in using their phones.

Besides being important, it is also a full responsibility for all parents, as we know that underage children are still very unstable and they always want to try new things that come to them, we must remember that besides being unstable they also have a very high curiosity. So this is very likely to be a big disaster for all parents if their children are involved in gambling. I said that what children want is just fun in any case, they can get it by playing and if they are happy with gambling then I can't imagine what will happen to them later.

As we know, cell phones are one of the tools that we and our children always use to fill or spend time such as for example to watch some cartoons or other interests. Maybe we already know now that there are more and more gambling promotions that we can get from cellphones through several active social media, that's what needs to be feared, we as parents must be able to minimize it so that children cannot reach the gambling. Yes, one of the things parents can do is to limit them in accessing their cellphones. In addition, it is true that we must tell them that gambling is very bad. I think one of the best ways to prevent them from going too far in browsing the internet is to limit their cell phone usage, that's all I think.

I think the gambling age should be raised even higher because we realize later that the decisions we make at an early age affect us in our future life. Therefore, when we have this habit at an early age, we sometimes get into the business of gambling with money that will be large sums of money for ourselves. This gives us the chance to lose maybe money or maybe different things. That's why I think the gambling age should be higher than 21.

Yes, in my country we have laws which constitutes that you have to be at least 21 years old in order for you to be allowed in casinos. Which I think, reasonable enough because on this age we become more independent in terms of decision making. But this is only applicable in traditional gambling, because online casino is a different discussion. Because most of the online casinos out there, does not implement a strict age verification check, so there is a huge tendency that a minor can still engage in any gambling activities. With this, I think online casinos should developed and imposed a more strict ways in verifying the age of their customers. This will help to avoid or at least minimized cases like this, because if happens that they were not able to prevent such things, it can severely affect the well-being of minors because they should not be exposed in any gambling activities at such a very young age.

Hmmm, there is still some online gambling site that is not required KYC, that is why those people who are underage can still play because of that. Also, here ij our country there is a ton of gambling site that is not yet regulated by the govt and it is being promoted by different content creators whether in fb and tiktok, I know that fb has restrictions for it but still those content creator doesn't even care.

Some of the gambling sites doesn’t required any kyc,so this will allow the children to play the gambling at the age of 12-14.This is not the wrong one,but this children who get into the game at the age of 12-14 will get addicted to gambling very easily.Many gambling sites are not regulated by the government by getting bribe by the ministry and doesn’t take care on the gambling site.They won’t response until some people commit suicide for the loss in the game.The main reason for the school children suicide due to the loss in the game was the full responsible of the government and their parents.

That's true, and it happens everywhere. Children aged 12-14 can find casinos on social media or elsewhere. Highly curious people will learn what a casino is and how to play online gambling. Maybe they have heard about online gambling before but don't know what it is like. Finally, they know the fun of playing online gambling, and in the end, it might be like what you said: they commit suicide because they lost their money. This is really sad for these children, where they should be able to grow up well and enjoy their lives. But because they gambled beyond their limits, they ended their lives. All parents need to pay attention to this so they can supervise their children properly.

I think that we should not get carried away by these KYC things, because those are the excuses that the casinos and the different entities come up with to control, they also say that the KYC is the best for when there is no problem, that it is easier to determine and recover if there is a hack, I say that this is simple excuses, first if children who are 12-14 years old, if they enter a casino that has or requires a KYC, it is the total responsibility of their parents who have to be supervising them, It is not a problem of the casino, nor because the casino does not have KYC, that is only the worst thing they can tell us, there are many stories that they invent, also if a hack occurs, if they have a KYC they will steal the data plus the money of the players, it is a lie that they are going to return your money, unless it is a casino like stake.com that has a great capacity to respond to any problem like this, otherwise, to look for the money and resonmder would be done through the ID of the player and that's it, plus if something like this happens it is the responsibility of ciasno to respond for all the money of the players where something is stolen from them, so you don't have to get carried away by what they say, that's like the myths, with those things it's that the dominance of the big guys begins, KYC will never be good, privacy, anonymity, everything ends.

In another aspect, it could be said that those who are Pro KYC will always say things like this, there is nothing else they can do, in this order of ideas we can think that some things like these are what they always say so that people comply obligatorily and They tell you that in some way they are protected and no, it is not like that, what I recommend is that if you have a favorite casino, then they must comply with the KYC requirement so that you can play calmly and make a good withdrawal, I am not of those who leave KYC in each casino, I am one of those who leave KYC in the casinos that I consider are worth doing and that can always be fulfilled so that they do the best.

One of the reasons on why crypto casino gambling did really get that much attention or traction is just because of that anonymous engagement on which someone could really be able to play without even being known when it comes into their identity but since they are really that centralized or licensed then they are really that abiding with some laws which needs to be followed for them to be able to operate. Back in the days on which they dont really impose out KYC no matter what but now on the time that you do hit up a particular threshold then this is the time that they would really be asking one. Some wont really be seeing this as an issue?
Not at all because there are people or individuals who does really care about their personal identity. Speaking about site legitimacy then it wont really be talking only about Stake but rather there is really a specific list into that knowing that there are other platforms which do offer on the same thing and that what makes crypto people or gambler do really love them despite of these notable changes when it comes to identity verification.
Its true that these are things which are really that being abused and being used as an alibi for those scammy and shady behavior that they are tending to do but of course these are just only into platforms which are
non reputable.

Of course , in fact I am one of those who think that when a person in the near future goes to a Casino, it is because that casino will offer them some type of Privacy and anonymity, it is the easiest way to make any movie, because I know that the casnso will understand that the use of VPN will now be allowed, and there is nothing wrong with it, for me it does not violate any law, it is like limiting the internet, it is difficult, and I would say that it is almost Impossible, so this type of thing should not be allow under any circumstances, then in this order of ideas I can say very well that when a player understands that the problem will no longer be to do the KYC because there are casinos that allow the use of VPN then those that Say , Privacy is allowed , will be activated, or let them play with privacy coins, which is a cryptocurrency and they have every right to use them, so that they are as anonymous as possible, these types of things are what I think they will focus on in the near future.

Some players are clear about it, they are already playing in totally decentralized casinos, they know that the business model of every casino is when a player or players make a living in it, a casino can have everything up to date with the Law, but what do they do with people? or users who do not want to comply with Kyc conditions? How is it done there? A person who is really a lover of crypto and gambling does not like that any government, third party , takes Advantage of their movements in crypto and even less in a casino, because for that it is better to get into a FIAT casino where transfers can also be made. the bank and being able to play from there , it is very easy to do it , I don't see that things could get complicated in that Sense, so if we take it into consideration, it is not better to wait and whatever has to Happen until the casinos and casino owners Understand that the further this progresses, the greater the resistance will be ? The fees from Governments, and of many Entities, are not something that players like.

Anyone under the age of 21 cannot participate in gambling and there are penalties for breaking the law.

Just like on what you had mentioned about online gambling, then doesnt matter if you do live in a country which banning gambling is currently been applied because with this online world then it would really be just that so easy for you to be able to access or bypass those restrictions online without being caught and we know that children nowadays is really that fully aware on how things do works or what are the things that they must do for them to access it out and its not really shocking anymore  that they are really get used to tech and things online which its never been a problem for them if ever they are really that tending to deal up something online.

Minimum age would be playing around 18-21 which it would depending on countries laws and regulations but this would really be playing in between these numbers and this is why it wont really be
that totally a solution on stopping those youngsters to play on this one and this is where parenting would really be crucial because not all would really be that minding about their children
on what are the things that they are already dealing or involving. Things would really be just assessed or would really be showing some concern on the time that the effects of such problem
is already evident or really that severe.

The minimum age to gamble should depend on the particular country because there arf some countries that allow people to do what they want once they are upto 16 years which is quite better than just waiting for them to reach 18 years looking too extreme to me. People need to have liberty to do whatever they intend to do without going for illegal things. Gambling is supposed to be for anyone that have the interest to gamble and make profits can always go for it but age restriction had limi people from gambling.

[BenCodie]

In physical establishments, they would usually check identification for someone who looks under the legally allowed age to gamble. In internet establishments, I think things are a little more difficult to detect...though, should we? If we condoned the checking of age on online establishments, this could mean KYC by default for all, and would be an absolutely terrible hit for privacy in the industry. It is tricky as we do not want youngsters to get hooked by gambling establishments early...on the other side of the coin, if they want to and if it means they learn the effects of gambling early, maybe it's not a bad thing in the long term. It really just depends if the underage player becomes permanently addicted or learns constructive lessons from the experience.

The point is that teenagers who are used to using their devices can easily find a casino and start gambling. They will not think about KYC at the casino because they gamble just out of curiosity, even though in the future, there will be teenagers who will continue to gamble, and in the end, they will be asked to do KYC by the casino. And even if the casino asks for KYC, there is a possibility that teenagers can do it easily because they can borrow an adult's ID and then do the KYC. But if they don't want to do KYC, they can look for another casino that won't be too strict in terms of KYC so they can continue gambling.

You are right, as far as I am concerned it could be that anyone who is over 18 years old is considered an adult, however when we make a sketch, there are countries where a person is over 21 years old and it seems to me that it is not bad, it is Well, then the older the person is, the easier it is for them to do something to control themselves in a casino, but basically I don't know if it's standard, but in any case, people who are older are considered to be 18 years old. .

Teenagers who get false IDs and who can make false documents, well, that's another thing, it's known that it's a serious offense, I don't know if that's something for which a caisn can be called sane, so at the moment If you make a very large withdrawal, casinos usually ask for additional identification, because basically things can go up in rank when there is more money, so the additional KYC can be a video, one more document for the withdrawal to be successful, something like what Binance does, that for security reasons things can be done like quick 30-second videos, something like that.

In some countries where gambling is legal, casinos can be admitted at the age of 18, basically I can say that things are good when a person knows they are mature, in the country it is required that they be of legal age for the simple fact They have to be consistent with what they have , with what they do and Above all when it comes to knowing well what they can do or how to behave in a casino, and above all be responsible for their actions.

In this order of ideas, many people can say that things with casinos are about austerity , expense management, many things like that, but more things cannot be done because that is what we as people can determine when we can be responsible for a In particular, a minor cannot be allowed to enter or interact because the law protects them, and would punish the casinos , that's basically it.

I think there is a relationship between the extent to which the state is engaged in the education of teenagers and the minimum age for gambling. The higher the control over the hobbies of teenagers, the better it is for them to be conscious and able to control themselves. Usually in such countries there is a large percentage of atheists, and I think that's why such people are more aware of the chances of winning. I think these countries include the most developed countries in Europe and Asia. But if the state is not particularly involved in the development of children, then in such countries there will be more cases of illegal gambling and corresponding troubles for teenagers.

[Synchronice]

This is without a doubt a problem, due to how expensive life is becoming now both parents work and they do not have the time to give their full attention to their children, so the easy way out is to give them a smartphone and buy them video games in order for those devices to become their default nannies, however this is dangerous as even if filters were applied to those devices, children are incredibly smart and they could get around them and find all kind of information for which they are not ready.

The problem is that children will still communicate with peers and not everyone will have such filters installed, so children will have access to prohibited content, and you are right, if they want, they will be able to find a way out of any situation. In this case, it is important to talk to children about what is good and what is bad, so that they understand the difference and it is also important to tell them that gambling is for adults and they can try it if they want when they reach adulthood.

Yes, it's right that parents work so hard every day that they have no time to keep an eye on what their kids do but another problem is that they rarely have any idea about the functionalities of smartphones and computers while kids are good at it or at least everyone has a friend or friend's friend that is good at it. First of all, it's a headache and almost impossible thing for parents to find a way to block access to certain websites, then some of the manage to download and pay for softwares or pay to their ISP to block certain websites but then as I said above, kid will contact smart friend and will unlock that access or there is another deal, this kid goes with friend kid whose parents aren't restrictive or responsible and they still get what they want.
The third problem is that it's kinda cool among kids to gamble and do prohibited things. Even if parent tells and explains kids what's good and what's bad, there is a social pressure from kids friends to do what's bad. In order to not get laughed or socially isolated, they do it.

During all parent have not time with their children after spending 12 hours for working they need to check their children mobile phone application until computer history to see are there their children have know with gambling? I think good ideas with smart parent if less time for controlling their children block all gambling platform access for their mobile phone or computer children and not allowed for them will play in gambling platform. But its not easy way because many trick and guide in Youtube channel for children learn more how to unlock with some site are blocking due using VPN or unlock IP address.

Another ideas how effective controlling our children not try with gambling limited their money in daily day, don't give them too much and enough use for depositing fund in gambling account.

Blocking apps or selected pages on children gadgets is not a solution. In fact that is an interference in their private life. A lot of parents dont understand, that their kids is not their slaves, property or they owe them something. Kids have right for private life also. The proper solution would be educate kids that at their young gambling is not the best way to spend time, to tell them consequences of gambling addiction, how unfair and cruel world is.

If you ban apps or pages - with time a kid will find a way to bypass it. Trust me. But, he will use that against you. He will find a way to hide things. And that is the worst thing a kid could do. That will mean that you have lost trust. That is the worst thing, as this is the beginning of loosing connection with your kid.

The more you block ban or restrict something, the more kid will want to get it or access it. Imho proper solution is to talk that gambling thing in such a way, that they kid will personally came to a conclusion that he is to young for that or it is to early to gamble right now.

For me blocking/banning is like cutting off finger when you have a broken nail, instead of trying to fix it. Like ancient doctors, who would better cut the limb instead of curing it

You are right, as far as I am concerned it could be that anyone who is over 18 years old is considered an adult, however when we make a sketch, there are countries where a person is over 21 years old and it seems to me that it is not bad, it is Well, then the older the person is, the easier it is for them to do something to control themselves in a casino, but basically I don't know if it's standard, but in any case, people who are older are considered to be 18 years old. .

Teenagers who get false IDs and who can make false documents, well, that's another thing, it's known that it's a serious offense, I don't know if that's something for which a caisn can be called sane, so at the moment If you make a very large withdrawal, casinos usually ask for additional identification, because basically things can go up in rank when there is more money, so the additional KYC can be a video, one more document for the withdrawal to be successful, something like what Binance does, that for security reasons things can be done like quick 30-second videos, something like that.

In some countries where gambling is legal, casinos can be admitted at the age of 18, basically I can say that things are good when a person knows they are mature, in the country it is required that they be of legal age for the simple fact They have to be consistent with what they have , with what they do and Above all when it comes to knowing well what they can do or how to behave in a casino, and above all be responsible for their actions.

Countries that allow 18 years of age need to change their regulations by raising the age limit for someone to gamble to 21 years of age because they are truly adults, even though in reality, 21 years of age does not guarantee that someone can act wisely. Many people over 21 are trapped in gambling, so they cannot get out easily. But it depends on the policies of each government because countries that allow an 18 year limit may be really adults, so the government makes regulations like that.

Getting a fake ID is difficult, especially in a very strict country because the government monitors everything. Still, there are always ways to make fake IDs, especially if there are officials who can help. It is not surprising that some already have IDs even though they have not been able to get them, and instead, they are used for things that may be illegal in their country. They may need to get guidance from the government so they don't repeat their actions, especially if they use their identity to register at a casino. That will put them in big trouble because they can develop a gambling addiction, which will negatively impact their life.

But it is true that when gambling, they need self-control to manage money and not be wasteful. And they should learn to be responsible gamblers so they don't exceed their limits and don't become addicted to gambling. However, with the convenience of online casinos, minors can enter and gamble freely. Each parent must pay attention to this when supervising their children.

In my opinion, if gambling is not at all beneficial to the government then it is better to close it down, remove all physical or online gambling networks, because I think that even by changing their rules and increasing the minimum age for gambling to 21 years or whatever it is still a big risk will always be there, so this is not the completely best solution to eradicate gambling, but to reduce it it might be useful, because yes I quite agree with those who are allowed to gamble at an older age there they will at least have a more mature mind and be able to distinguish the best from the worst or maybe reduce their gambling. But I don't think everything will always go according to plan, as you said even with the age of 21 it doesn't mean they can avoid everything there, after all even those who are older are still many who can't control themselves at all when gambling, so I think the best solution if the country really doesn't want its people to experience a lot of problems, especially in finance, then close all access to gambling there, I think that's it.

But it is true that when gambling, they need self-control to manage money and not be wasteful. And they should learn to be responsible gamblers so they don't exceed their limits and don't become addicted to gambling. However, with the convenience of online casinos, minors can enter and gamble freely. Each parent must pay attention to this when supervising their children.

Yes I agree to this, there is no other way to reduce the amount of loss or to avoid addiction other than self-control, I hope most of them (gamblers) already know about what they should do there. Always gamble with a budget limit and a healthy mindset of not overdoing it, that's it and you'll be safe. Because as we know the temptation in gambling is very extraordinary, only a few are able to pass it and most of them will be trapped there. What I'm afraid of is that for young children, there must be strict rules from both parents, especially in this era where gambling is very common, so this is a big task for every parent.

Blocking apps or selected pages on children gadgets is not a solution. In fact that is an interference in their private life. A lot of parents dont understand, that their kids is not their slaves, property or they owe them something. Kids have right for private life also. The proper solution would be educate kids that at their young gambling is not the best way to spend time, to tell them consequences of gambling addiction, how unfair and cruel world is.

If you ban apps or pages - with time a kid will find a way to bypass it. Trust me. But, he will use that against you. He will find a way to hide things. And that is the worst thing a kid could do. That will mean that you have lost trust. That is the worst thing, as this is the beginning of loosing connection with your kid.

The more you block ban or restrict something, the more kid will want to get it or access it. Imho proper solution is to talk that gambling thing in such a way, that they kid will personally came to a conclusion that he is to young for that or it is to early to gamble right now.

For me blocking/banning is like cutting off finger when you have a broken nail, instead of trying to fix it. Like ancient doctors, who would better cut the limb instead of curing it

So you think leaving the keys for the car in reach of a kid or alcohol in reach of a kid is ok because everything is a question of education? No, prevention in regards to kids also involves clearly defined boundaries and to enforce prohibitions. There are things that kids just should not be allowed to do, period. Education comes on top, but as it is the same with the hot stovetop, the problem is that kids often can't know the consequences of their actions until they feel them or are old enough to draw their own conclusions that touching the stovetop isn't smart. Prohibition during some stages of development of a kid is not primarily an interference with their private life during early years, but protection of their child life from things they can't know nor understand.

That's right. It really boils down to discipline. Everytime gambling is involved, you should know that automatically, one way or another, you'll encounter it because you should practice it in the first place. There's no other option indeed to reduce losses but to be responsible of your betting routine. If you continue to overspend and to overtime in gambling, you'll reap it in the future. You can be addicted by going beyond what it's recommended and that could ruin your life in an instant. So always gamble responsibly and improve your mindset to only take calculated risks.

Another ideas how effective controlling our children not try with gambling limited their money in daily day, don't give them too much and enough use for depositing fund in gambling account.

Unlike in some cultures in other countries, moms stayed at home to teach their children good manners and conduct, not working all day just to pay the bills and let their children do what they want as long as they stay at home. only a few children will be alright with that because they somehow managed to adapt to the current situations and not fall into some bad habits or addictions. But for others, this is some kind of chance to do whatever they want and some of them fell into porn addictions, and others as we said, became gambling addicts at an early age.

Well, very good point which I agree with, one sure way to avoid gambling addiction is to never depend on gambling alone even if you  are gambling for fun, there are several other fun activities you could engage in aside gambling, gambling should be a once in a while thing, but it's rather unfortunate that, many people out there are abusing gambling, using it as a means to earn money rather than using it for what it is, this is where addiction starts in the first place.

And the above is more reason why gambling is very dangerous for underaged, this is because, underaged are people that are too young to work and fend for themselves, normally, all their money needs are always on their parents, but when they are allowed into gambling and they taste what it feels like to win and their own money, and not have to ask their parent for money,  they likely will not stop gambling again, but will continue and since they at such tender age don't know anything or much about self control and responsible gambling, they fall in and become addicted.

I think addiction at an early age can still be overcome. Gambling addiction at an early age will not be the same as when they are adults and have an income. those who are still young tend to just join in. and they also play with limited money. Indeed, this can also have negative impacts on society. but it all also depends on the relationship.
Those who are still minors, when they enter the adult world, will experience extraordinary changes in their mindset. like switching from busy playing to busy working. This can cut off communication with bad relationships. I mean not pushed by the people around him. Once they are adults they will be more responsible for determining the actions they will take. such as continuing to gamble or leaving it.
