Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble?

[nullama]

Does gambling needs experience or anyone +18, even the inexperienced one can also play? Though playing gamble has a limited age grade or age bracket and the accepted is from  +18 years and there are some casinos hall at the door post, it is written clearly that it is only people of +18 can play. But what about the inexperienced ones, are they allowed to play gamble as well? Or they are also restricted to have the fun? In my observation, there are two elements to participate in gambling. One, you must above 18 years in my country and secondly you must have an experience to play, so I want to know if inexperienced people can also play gamble.

If what you mean by "play gamble" is to play a gambling game with money that is not real, then I think yes, they legally can. They are not really gambling because real gambling is only with real money. Pressing a few buttons on the screen to win/lose fake money is fine by me. In fact, it might even teach the kid what gambling really is, So he can gamble responsibly without getting hooked later in life. I can think of quite a few video games which are morally worse. And if that is wrong then perhaps both things are wrong. But that is a question I have no answers to.

I am not sure if playing games that simulate gambling are completely safe.

Yes, there is no money lost, but the addiction is starting in the brain.

The kids can start to get addicted while playing these "fun" games.

I think it should be taken a bit more seriously, and not like just a harmless game.

Would not it be dangerous for anyone who does not have a job or income to gamble then? If a person with money looses, he will take it differently. Maybe he will try to play back lost money, or it wont be a tragedy for him and he simply will never return to gambling. But if a jobless or the one without any income looses (gambled with borrowed money for example), then his further actions can be unpredictable. Like you have said, that person might commit a crime, if he get really addicted with gambling.

Is every casino ask you a couple questions: where do you work and how much you get paid? nah, they're also don't care with the gamblers, remember they're making money from the gamblers' losses. There's no way to know if someone has a job or source of income.

Right now online casino is really booming and crime rates increase from time to time, there's a correlation between both of them.

Online casinos dont do that, but offline casinos might ask basic information to "register you as a client", so that "you would receive promotion information" and etc. With such, they try to cover that they are running a little KYC, as they ask your mobile, name/surname, email. With their security department, it is not hard to find out gamblers age and occupation.

And I would like to point on that they make money from gamblers wins also. They are also interested if you win. This means that you might return and gamble more, you can tell about the casino to your friends, and they always get their house edge.

Nevertheless, anyone who is +18 can be allowed to gamble, or it is better to say we shouldn’t stop +18 from gambling because we don’t have the right to manage his money.

I don't think I can say that it is completely safe because after all this is still within the scope of gambling, no matter if they play on a fake gambling type or what we usually call a demo account, one of the problems that are worried about is when they think "why don't I try with real money", I think this assumption has the possibility to think in their brains when they get a big win on a demo account.
likely to think in their brain when they get a big win in the demo account.

Curiosity will be created and they will think that by switching to real money then they will get real winnings that they can use for anything. So of course the solution if they really don't want to end up with bad possibilities is the answer "not gambling at all" whether it's on a demo account or not.

On the other hand as you said that this should be taken more seriously, although there will be no money lost by engaging in a demo account but still in my opinion for the problem of bad possibilities it is very likely to happen over time, and I have said above that one of the best solutions is not to touch anything that smells of betting or gambling.

You are absolutely right and I can tell you by my example why. Previously, I was not sure that gambling simulators, such as slots, do not affect us in any way if we play them without spending money. But recently, one of the largest casinos in our forum sent me an invitation to play slots for Points. And whoever scores the most points in a few spins will run in the week and get real money. There were three prize places and thouthand participants. There are a lot of them because everything is free. I was playing too. Do you understand the danger? I played at the casino AS IF for money, but not for money, I played slots over and over again. That's smart of the casino.

Any age which is 18+ years old can gamble because is referred not to an underaged anymore, such a person can be able to go out and source or work to do to make earnings, gambling is not a means of violence or what we should abuse the way some other people are doing it, we have the privilege of making fun from it, have the opportunity of getting the best moment of the way we use up our leisure time, all that we should always have in consideration is the way in which we all must gamble and not to abuse the whole thing.

[Kliss]

One, you must above 18 years in my country and secondly you must have an experience to play, so I want to know if inexperienced people can also play gamble.

For one to be able to participate in gambling you must be 18+ which is the first rules of gambling platforms. Having experience in gambling before you can play or gamble is not necessary because gambling games are luck based e.g slot machine, roulette or scratch card etc.. so experience is not vital. If you are 18+ and you are willing to gamble All you need is just to know how games are played and be familiar with the game the rest is luck. To boost your luck in gambling stay positive, have fun, trust in your instincts.

Yes, those who are said to be of age are considered to be able to take responsibility for what they do themselves without involving their guardianship. Even though I am sure there are quite a lot of people under 18 years of age who have access to gambling, they still cannot be considered responsible enough. One of them is related to their finances which are not enough to find pleasure from gambling. even though I know their target is to get wins and extra money from gambling.

Yes, casinos have developed their strategy over decades and also they have a lot of money to invest in Research and Development.

They are at the forefront of this.

Why do you refer to under 18, when the guy you have quoted talked about 18+ and the topic is about 18+ ? Sometime I think people in this topic are blind. The question is about +18, that means 20 yo, 30 or 80. Of course they can gamble if the law permits that. But people here keep talking about kids in gambling, underaged and etc. First of all offline casino will never allow underaged to enter the casino or will ask to leave it. Secondly, underages most likely wont be interested in online casinos, since they are busy with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.

[pinggoki]

18 years old in a lot of countries is considered an adult so it's not about the experience, it's about how the society has considered you an adult that is responsible for their actions. That's it I think, there's no more magic I think behind why that's the preferred age that a casino or the law allows to gamble. Of course, inexperienced players can gamble, how are you supposed to know how to gamble in the first place duh but the problem with this is that you can't really do this in a physical casino or a well-established online casino because they're going to ask for your ID and especially with online casinos that don't want any issues of minors playing in their website, they're going to do an extensive background check so the best bet of someone that don't have an experience in gambling is to either play in an illegal casino, play the game that they want to play on the phone to familiarize themselves without the risk of losing money from losing or they can play with their friends, most of the time though, when you really need an experience on a game, you do need to do what I've said but there are some that you don't like slots, roulette or plinko.

I am confused here, especially with your first line. I believe that if games could be causing gambling, money will be involved, is that not correct? Because in my own understanding of gambling, something must just be involved as a sacrifice to make betting. This is unless you are only referring to gaming that has nothing to do with gambling. But I don't see it that way in what you wrote. This is when no money can be wagered or lost. But I agree with you that addiction is possible. But it can't be so alarming in this case because we all passed through the young age, and there are games that we played and got used to but we never had any issues when it comes to addiction. It is not always easy to find a partner to play such games with so you can't be addicted to it. But for computer games, well, one has to check it so that the addiction will not happen.

Although I have not seen such terrible addiction to video games that would make someone be so irresponsible like what gambling could cause if not wisely approached. So, as they derive the fun benefits, they should be cautious of the addiction involvement too. This is fair play here, they just have to be careful. And lastly, I don't seem to decipher your last line as well, everything must not be taken seriously like that especially when it's kids we are talking about. Gambling is not a necessity, and since they can be engaged in more funfilled and harmless games without it, I think it is the best shot for them.

Having experience isn’t a requirement for one to begin gambling as it’s not necessary. Having experience may come in handy perhaps in sports betting when trying to predict outcome of certain games based on each team statistics.
But even with all of that, it almost always doesn’t go as planned and mostly comes down to being lucky enough. Obviously, Knowing a thing or two about the games you’re betting on would be a good idea before delving in.
There also isn’t a casino operating today that has experience as a requirement for one to play.

In the current context, since children are addicted to smartphones from 2 years ago, when they cross the age of 12-13 years, the Internet age has become a big part of it, due to which they are gradually attracted to gambling. The reason for this is that the gambling platforms are promoting themselves in different ways which are also visible to children and since gambling provides various types of fun games and gambling ads are very attractive, children also fall in there. so I don't believe this 18 years time limit now. While this rule is on paper, something else is happening in reality

[teamsherry]

This question actually really doesn't add up
I'm sure a lot of people would agree that experience actually comes from doing something
So if people who have satisfied the age requirements want to play but do not have the experience then they should be allowed to play
Experience makes you win better but one has to get there gradually
Starting to play without experience gives you the will and drive to actually want to win regardless of how little or great the losses you take might be at the time
So yes people without experience should be allowed to play because how else are they going to get the experience

yes you are right about that, experience is very important and will be a process that will make those beginners understand how to do gambling.

But what you also need to note is, the experience really should be in control.
Of course ordinary people who gamble do not understand what they have to do to begin with, getting guidance from others who are already professionals in gambling or even self-taught, it is also necessary or see how other people's experience, such as experience in failure so that beginners do not get bad experiences that can actually be avoided.
Too bad an experience will make beginners feel like a failure and choose to stay away from it.

When you are a completely beginner or noob, if you are really just that mindful about on the thing around on how it do works then for sure you would really be loving on reading up things on which
you would really be trying out to find those various informations into those people who do have that actual experience and condition on things so that you would really be that able to apply it for yourself.
Some are mindful and sensible but there are ones who are really just that too careless and directly making out those kind of dealing without even trying to think or find out on what are the probable
things that could happen along the way. They would really be rather be making themselves experienced those worst things before they would be able to make out such adjustments.

Whereas, you could really be able to avoid those things in the first place if you do really just that make yourself mindful about those other real time experiences. Once you do make yourself that
wary then it would really be impossible that you wont really be making out adjustments but sadly people doesnt really mind. What they do really need before they would learn
is to experience for themselves on how those unfortunate conditions be felt on.

At the end of the day, most online gambling consists of clicking your mouse and seeing if you won.  Sure, there are some games like blackjack or poker that might have a little bit of skill involved, but those are few and far between as far as games to play in a casino.  Most of what people are doing is slot machines, which like I said, consists of you clicking your mouse and seeing if you won money.  So yes, anyone over 18 CAN gamble, but honestly most probably shouldn't.  Gambling is for people with too much money and time on their hands that lack a traditional hobby.  Luckily, the rest of us are welcome to join in the fun also.

In essence, this depends on each individual or every player who is gambling.
They can choose to start with a flat road or a road full of obstacles.

Someone who is careless or those who don't worry about anything at first will just try to play without rules,
without analysis and without management, this is like a normal game that will not exert pressure.

Everyone's learning will be different, some like research and adjustments to the platform being played,
and some are really happy with challenges and test how strong they are in the face of the worst conditions.

and secondly you must have an experience to play, so I want to know if inexperienced people can also play gamble.

If you have been gambling for a while now, you should know that casinos make money from users' losses. Inexperience gamblers mean, there is more possibility of making mistakes or placing bets without understanding. Whenever an inexperienced gambler will lose, the casino will make money. So, no matter what you say, they are not going to forbid their platform for inexperienced players.

On the other hand, what are the criteria for being an experienced gambler? Let's say you are an experienced gambler, how is a casino supposed to verify that you are an experienced gambler?

I don't think ops query is based on how easy or hard gambling is, and whether an 18+ of age can understand and play it, I think ops query is more centered around whether it is morally and or legally  right, for an 18+ of age to be involved in gambling.
And my Answer to that would be that, in most countries, like over here in Nigeria, as from 18 years of age is the legally approved age by the government to participate in gambling, any body below the age of 18 and is participating in gambling is breaking the law, so, any body at the age or 18 and above can freely participate in gambling.

And I believe why it's made so is because, mostly, any age below 18 is likely still in school, and it's not morally right and advisable for a student to be gambling, we heard stories of some respective students who gambled away their school fees, and ended up committing suicide due to, or out of frustration, this is why gambling is only meant for adults and young people who are already working class and making money for themselves.
