Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble?

[Hirose UK]

~snip~

And I believe that at the age of 18, only one person out of 10 knows what it means to be “responsible for one’s decisions,” and knows that every decision needs to be carefully thought through, and especially those decisions that relate to money. I remember myself and my friends at 18 years old - we were lazy and stupid, we didn’t care about anything at all. And the future seemed distant and foggy. We didn’t know the value of money, and I’m sincerely glad that I didn’t stumble upon gambling then. It seems to me that in general only from the age of 20 do we become truly independent. I mean the majority of people, because there are always individuals - someone at 50 is like a fool, and someone at 14 is serious, as if he had given birth to life.

18-21+ age considered to be a legal age on which it would really be unlocking for someone to do the things which they cant be able to do when they are still below that age.
This isnt really just that limited to gambling but also in other things as well like marriage, alcohol,getting a drivers license or on other things as well on which this age would really be considered
to be legal. So speaking about gambling then of course you are on the right age but as of todays era and years on which technology which contributes about easy access
and this is one of the cons of it on which there's no way that we could really be able to tell that people would really be in less age would be able to play without
being detected not unless if there's KYC but we know that most of sites arent asking so bypassing is easy.

There are lots of activities or entertainment specifically for adults aged 18+, but in this day and age, there are many conveniences that allow underage children to do all this freely without any pressure to handle it.
For example, nightclubs are clearly only intended for those who already have personal identification to enter, but teenagers under 18+ who have rich backgrounds can enter freely.
Free sex, alcohol and smoking are clearly not things that teenagers can do, but now in reality many people do it in social life.
Many teenagers gamble online which clearly requires KYC at all times if requested, but they can complete KYC easily, especially in betting shops, obviously the owner or guard doesn't care who they are, how old they are, so they can bet at any time.
Freedom like this will continue forever and of course there are many bad impacts that can occur, this is also related to the failure of parents to educate and supervise their children.

For online gambling, I actually had passing thought that emerged to be able to suppress the existence of underage children from gambling, namely by having facial scan verification and of course this could be matched with the personal data used to complete KYC.
Underage children will of course have more difficulty registering an account on an online gambling site, but this is just mere thought which may also be impossible to determine.

Well, in my own opinion I think is not advisable for a child to engage himself in gambling activity at the age of 18. probably if he started playing gamble this early, before he will get to the age of 30 he must have been addicted to gambling,that is one of the  implication of starting gambling at an early age.at this point he can end up stealing money from the parents whenever time he doesn't have money to gamble.

Absolutely correct mate. In fact underaged are now beginning to learn adopt the lifestyles of adults faster, though some of them now can behave themselves well and leave as matured adults, but fact still remains that they have not yet gotten enough life experience to teach them some self lessons. However parents and also one of the major causes of this problem with underaged starting to do what they ought not to do, they are supposed to give guidance and counseling to their children in a loving manner to that the child could emotionally understand and make that his target for life. But yet they push their children too far from them, and let the child make hefty decision at a tender age.

[Odusko]

In our community back then, they didn't restrict age when it came to gambling because all they thought was just profit but it didn't end up well for them since when they got raided by the police, they faced serious trouble which led them to be sentenced quite long in jail because of that and some of them are still inside the prison even long years had been passed because of the seriousness of their actions. Right now, you rarely see some kids playing because of that, and all you can see is those adults who are addicted to playing and they cannot seem to live without it especially those who love to go to cock fighting arena.

Even up until now, people still have that mentality of no age restrictions in the gambling activities and the majority of the kids in developed countries take gambling as a way of meeting their needs and since there is a high rate of poverty it tends to affect the way the government regulations checkmate the activities of underage gambling.

Many of them have gone into addictions  since they started gambling while they were still very young without the ability to self-control their gambling activities, the impact of age abuse in gambling has ruined many lives in the past and even the future will have fair shares that negative impact of underage gambling involvement.

Yeah, although it is true that kids are getting more "advanced" at a younger age, I do think that the brain still requires some time to fully develop.

If you expose a kid, which are little sponges, to something like gambling, they would probably have a higher chance to end up addicted to it.

They lack the development of their brain to actually have a better grasp of what's going on.

[Litzki1990]

Gambling or casino companies can only post such posts to warn you or they can make such rules but if you are under 18 years and tick 18 plus, the casino company will have nothing to do. Many movies or music videos have instructions that such videos are only for those who are 18 plus, but how many of us follow this instruction? It is entirely up to us to obey such instructions, most of the time we tend to do things that are forbidden or instructed. If a casino has 18 plus guidelines then it should be understood that people under the age of 18 can get into trouble if they gamble in those casinos. If we follow such instructions, we will not be harmed but we will gain, so we should follow such instructions.

What is fully developed brain? A person who understands what actions leads to which consequences? Come on man, people at 18 are allowed to become parents, and you are talking about developed brain and gambling. Becoming a parents is way more complicated than potential gambling addiction, which might never happen actually. People at 18 are allowed to do things that can cause more troubles than gambling. And getting back to developed brain - when it is fully developed? It is funny how everyone tell kids - you are a grown up now, dont act like a child. Develop. Study. Explore. Yet try to limit them in every possible way because "their brain isnt developed".

[Betwrong]

~snip~
Exactly. It's not "arbitrary", like you said. Twelve would be arbitrary. By 18 your brain is developed enough to call you an adult. Well, in some countries they say it's 24, and who are we to argue with them. So, you are right, it is arbitrary. If we are talking about gambling, I would say one have to be 24 to engage in it.

Yeah, some countries even decide that it's not in their interest to have casinos, so they make gambling illegal, which opens another can of worms.

Right, illegal gambling is much worse than legalized one. A lot of deception is going on there. Their slot machines and their fights are rigged  more often than not.

At the end of the day each country is a group of people, and it's very complicated to get into an agreement, specially for making laws, where you need very specific things like a number in this case to be agreed upon.

In the end it's a personal issue if you are mature enough to engage in gambling activities, but law doesn't really work like that.

Yes, law doesn't discriminate, it's for everyone regardless of their real level of mental development. And I personally think it shouldn't be otherwise in regards to gambling. It's better to start later than earlier in this case.

[bayu7adi]

As long as no one cares about the movements of a newbie, I don't think experience is a barrier at this time. Many people can gamble online and they take their own steps. Even if someone else loses, it won't make us lose. Yes, because there are many types of games available on casino platforms, I think gambling can be done by anyone without experience.

I took the example of a slot game. What can a gambler do except press the spin button?? There is nothing to analyze in slot games, because it is purely 99% about luck. Even a beginner can have a bigger advantage than a professional slot player, because the luck factor is never visible to our eyes.

However, for some games a beginner still has to learn, such as poker, blackjack, qiu qiu and card games in general, which require special skills. So, casinos have provided markets for each level, from beginners to experts, although they have a place to gamble within the limits of their knowledge.

[zuzie]

There may also be rules about gambling that can only be done by people over 18 years of age. In my opinion, gambling is a gambling game that requires broad insight and reliable playing techniques, such as card gambling or poker gambling. There are systems that require a high level of intelligence and experience. Many people will enter this type of gambling if they are not equipped with the right level of intelligence or technique, then I'm sure they will often lose, but when compared to slot gambling, I don't think age is a guarantee for entry. . That's because nowadays even those under 18 years old are smart. play slots because they are curious from the start and keep trying to play them so that the frequency becomes a habit so that it is easy for them to play the slots they want, but here the winning results are determined by the system so we cannot guess. . .

Anyone could engage in gambling because luck can be on anyone's side. The main reason why they say gambling should be 18+ is the fact that at the age of 18, it is believed that a person can control his emotions, knowing what is good to do and what not to do. And also, it is expected that the gambler is responsible for any actions he takes due to the outcome of the gamble that propelled him to take those actions. You know, at the age of 18, crime charges and so many other things would fall on you because you are no longer a kid anymore.

[hyudien]

If we follow such instructions, we will not be harmed but we will gain, so we should follow such instructions.

But the problem is that the rules or recommendations or orders are only written, in reality I don't see this as a rule that is obeyed. Maybe if it comes directly to online casinos, this rule will be applicable, but if the casino is based online who guarantees that this rule will be carried out? I will not blame the casino, because here it is very clear that they only seek profit from the players. I also won't blame children under the age of 18, because after all, they might be curious because of the rampant advertisements about gambling that are very tempting.
In this day and age almost all casinos have online casinos, and that is actually the beginning of the problem, at the same time children under the age of 18 are also good at using gadgets, especially now that there are also many wallets that allow children to have their own banks. Parents are also not to be blamed entirely, although they may keep a close eye on their children's behavior, but in this day and age children are becoming smarter to trick their parents. One way is that the government must be present as an arbiter, they must be able to make policies that will minimize things like this, indeed this is difficult but not impossible to do.

What you said is true. Underage teens shouldn't try to be smart by engaging themselves in gambling activities because it might affect them in future. They will be vulnerable to addiction, because they have not understand what gambling is, and even though they understand, they would not be able to control themselves on their gambling activities.

Teenagers, have this youth exorbitant in them that will make them want to do everything they see, and they would not care about the consequences attached, because they don't have matured brain resist it. Most of us in the forum that gambled early became addicted at a point of time, that made us do so many nasty things to enable us gamble, because we thought that gambling is for making profit.

[summonerrk]

Those who are 18+ are qualified to gamble because they are mature enough to make decisions so any one complaining or blaming others for their gambling losses are just joking around, because no one would buy their stories, besides they were not forced to gamble but rather they chose to take that part after being introduced to it. But some gambling sites for not perform KYC so definitely under age are likely to also gamble without their notice. On the other hand performing KYC would only make the site to loose more customers as not all gamblers like to reveal their identity.

And I believe that at the age of 18, only one person out of 10 knows what it means to be “responsible for one’s decisions,” and knows that every decision needs to be carefully thought through, and especially those decisions that relate to money.

And this is very bad and wrong. It turns out that the casino easily turns a blind eye to the fact that children have the opportunity to play there. Often changing your life for the worse because of addiction. Casinos only have money and they don't care who and at what age comes to spin roulette and play poker. I'm talking about a casino without verifying the identity of the players. I understand that regulators monitor this and take measures to ensure that young players do not have access to such services, but as we all know, you can always find what the user wants to find on the Internet.

[Peanutswar]

Theres no restrictions if you know how to play or not reason why there's a tutorial board or How play offering in every game so they are welcome to the newbies who would like to play in their casino, it's the same as the outcome there's a winner and the loser. The difference just people gained more experience and knowledge on how to win the game, and strategies to win against the game or against their opponent.

Teenagers, have this youth exorbitant in them that will make them want to do everything they see, and they would not care about the consequences attached, because they don't have matured brain resist it. Most of us in the forum that gambled early became addicted at a point of time, that made us do so many nasty things to enable us gamble, because we thought that gambling is for making profit.

Young ones don't take too much care with their addiction because they are still young, curious and would like to explore more, but of course, young age must have guidance so they do not lead in too much addiction to gambling.

One way is that the government must be present as an arbiter, they must be able to make policies that will minimize things like this, indeed this is difficult but not impossible to do.

A company will always want people to gamble more in their company. It is up to them to see who is gambling under the age of eighteen or above the age of 18 and not only in cases where they do not have any legal complications, they only give some instructions so that they can raise the matter if ever legal complications arise. If someone under 18 gambles it is their casino's profit and if someone above 18 gambles their profit they never want to be deprived of that profit. For example, on cigarette packets, there are pictures of cancer-prone places or writings that smoking causes cancer, but people who smoke still buy cigarettes after seeing those pictures and writings. Companies can't use anything good on cigarette packs because it's illegal. Also 18 plus casino only instructs that this casino is only for 18 plus people now playing under eighteen years or people above 18 years playing it is not much of a concern to them.

It is true that young people are being exposed to adult lifestyles at a much younger age than ever before, due to technologies such as social media and the internet. However, as you mentioned, parents should provide advice and support rather than pushing their children away or being unduly strict.
 I believe that one of the most essential things parents can do is have open and honest conversations with their children about the internet, social media, and other parts of adulthood. It is critical to assist youngsters comprehend the potential hazards and consequences of their activities without being unduly harsh or frightening them. Parents can also set an example by using technology and social media responsibly and respectfully.

this is so true!

As an organization that would want to protect it reputation, it's just normal for them to set out age bracket of people that are emotionally matured enough to engage in gambling activities but at the end of the day it's just left for the individuals to decide if they will stick with it or not.

Most movies that are outrightly written 18+ end up being displayed on cinema for both the younger once that are below that age bracket and no one is suid for it. I personally feel that at 16 someone is matured enough to engage in gambling activity as long as he or she is psychologically matured enough to deal with it ups and down.

"Great" example with movies. Those who did not manage to watch U18 movie in cinema, later download it for free or click on YES when they are asked if they are 18+ on a streaming platform. And in cinemas visitors age is evaluated not by ID, but by their look. So its so-so example And a nice proof that age in a document is just a number

Casinos will worry about underaged gambling only if there would be issues with account and withdrawal. Before that, they let underaged gamble freely. Because its customers responsibility to tell true information about himself and his age. If they catch an underaged, they just ban him and case is closed with no harm to reputation.

Yet try to limit them in every possible way because "their brain isnt developed".

Many people have tried to answer that question and I still believe it is an open question.

Having said that, there are broad ranges, say a 5 year old vs a 40 year old clearly face different issues when faced with a gambling issue.
