Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble?

[Palakka]

The legal age to gamble can be over 16/18/21 or whatever is enough for someone to gamble either in an online casino or by visiting a physical world casino cause adults are supposed to decide what they need to do and there is no point in asking for the experience if someone wants to start something new cause everyone has to start from zero at some point.

While registering on an online platform you will be asked about your age or it will be mentioned in the ToS.

In all countries and also gambling plates today, of course, the age of 18 years is the age limit for someone to gamble, but can it make teenagers avoid gambling so far?
I don't think so, because at this time I think many of the gamblers are underage because indeed they can trick the site by using fake identification cards to create an account on a gambling site, besides that when we open a gambling site and we are told to confirm our age, wouldn't we also mention above 18 years even though it is actually not, just for the sake of being able to access the gambling site page,  I think Tos and whatever it is that is required as a condition of gambling over the age of 18 will certainly not apply to those who are interested in gambling all this time even if they are under 18 years old.

I think gambling platforms only make Tos as one of the provisions that apply as a formal requirement and of course they also don't care who plays gambling whether they are over 18 years old or not because they certainly cannot control anyone who really wants to gamble and access the platform, so far parents should be the main supervisors for children to avoid gambling.

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.

The age and form of gambling depends on the nation you live on. Some enforce total ban of all form of gambling for all age groups. For some nations, it's 21+ while some don't have a age limit for some form of gambling. Law are just one expect, there are other things to consider like your economic situation, your mental health and your religion or culture. If you feel you are fit to gamble, you should still learn how things can go bad or how people ruin their life with gambling.
Experience is not a big deal if you have a financial plan and general theoretical knowledge of how it works. Self experience would make you learn more.

Experience does really matter and speaking about legality and other correlated issues or conditions then it would really be just that depending on this one because each country would be having their different approach
towards gambling. When it comes to legal age then it would really be playing 18-21 years old. Doesnt matter what age but still stopping someone to play is something that cant be sure because in todays
tech and interenet we do have on which accessing out these platforms wont really be that much of an issue or something that a problem. This is why even if these bans would really be applied then these individuals would really be that tending to deal or make engagement without being caught and this is something that cant be stopped or something inevitable.

This is why we are really that still seeing that there are individuals who do get still addicted despite of the ban and prohibition but still there were people who do become that addicted
to gambling because they dont being caught.

When a person is eighteen years old or more than eighteen years old are free to gamble if the person has money to gamble and there is no restriction on gambling from their country. As many countries are restricted to gambling the people in this country can't gamble though they are 18 or more than 18 years old.

Do you mean gambling is totally banned in the country you are from? Even if you are off-age, you won't still be allowed to gamble in any of the online casinos. If yes, does that mean you guys don't have a single casino or gambling shop in the entire country? 
 
As long as you have the money to gamble with and are up to the required age (18), you are free to gamble as long as you don't steal the money and you don't gamble in an unlicensed place like the side WHOT game. Gambling is usually carried out by groups of violent people most of the time.

In a situation where gambling is prohibited in a country, the best thing is to avoid gambling in public where people will notice that you are gambling. This is what I do then I was 17yrs, I and my friends started gambling early, so we always gamble in secrets with poker and dice. We gamble in a way that someone who is a neutral person holds the funds that we use to bet, and after the bet is over. The person acting as an escrow will be rewarded with a little amount from the winner.

I think I have never gambled while I was under the legal age to do so. Though, if you live in a country where gambling and Sportbetting is a widespread activity, then it would not be surprising to be to see many young people engaging with dices and cards before they are supposed to.
At least, I assume you started not as early as others within the gambling community could have started as well, seventeen is almost the same as eighteen, after all.
It is a different situation from what I have managed to witness in far and impoverished populations in my country, where teens literally engage in gambling at broad daylight and do not care if adults are around them to scold them because of such activity or not. It is usual for broken families to have children and teens which venture into those kind of vices, furthering perpetuating poverty and lack of education in a community. In the end is not about the casino of the batting huts, someone who wishes to gamble will do so in the shadows.

Be glad you did not end up getting chronically addicted to those games.

If someone chose to fake their identity then they are at the fault here not the platform because they made it clear only people above certain age are allowed to gamble and nowadays KYC is mandated to withdraw any money so that if teen is using their parents ID to bypass that requirement then they are doing the crime which is supposed to be supervised by their parents.

Casinos can implement much strict KYC standards like live verification but it's going to cost them their profits cause it is highly inconvenient for actual gamblers.

In many countries this is the legal age for someone to be able to gamble and it would be curious to find out the make up of profits that gambling companies are able to generate by user age. I have a feeling that as people grow older, they are less likely to spend money on this activity or may have already been "burned" once and decided to stay away after that. It would be good if some sort of quiz or education test was given before someone could gambling, to make sure they understand the true odds and possibilities for winning, as there might be plenty of younger people bad at math or other concepts who could lose a lot of money - but this is not really practical to implement and enforce jointly worldwide.

Older people also have had more time to accumulate wealth though.

But if they keep gambling it all away then probably they won't have any wealth even though they're old...

It also might be that younger people tend to try new things and people getting older stop doing that.

I often see underage children playing online gambling and at one time I asked how they give their complete KYC to the casino if the casino asks for it, the answer I got was that they just say and pay someone to ask for their identity then pay them. Maybe because in my country there are still many unemployed and poor people, children who have enough money can pay anyone for the identity of poor people and complete the child's KYC so they can gamble safely and easily, including making withdrawals using a simple process. fast.

But every child is different, sometimes those aged 18+ don't have any proof of payment because they are too young to pay anything so they only receive money from their parents, it is difficult to fulfill KYC requirements in online casinos so the only way is to pay someone to help them complete it. KYC, for example, people who already have a bill and also their complete identity can very easily fulfill the requirements for completing KYC, but each country is different, in my country aged 18+ they usually don't have any bill, so it is difficult for them to complete KYC themselves.

[GigaBit]

From my understanding I don't think there's any law that restricts an individual that's 18+ from gambling, that's an  adult age and in must countries individual that's fall in that category are allowed to make their own choices, but I heard that their are some countries where the gambling age is 21 and above an not 18 which is the adult age though I'm not very sure about that statement, but in general the gambling age for most casinos and betting sites is 18+

 As a parent it's your duty to guild your child till they become adults and start making their own decisions however they still need advise on certain decisions that could ruin them if not properly looked into and gambling is one of them, cause it has lots of disadvantage as well, like addiction, emotional trauma and the rest of them. But with proper advise to them, they could learn from it and try to make the right decisions.

Maybe in each countries have the difference of allowing someone to playing gambling, including what age they can playing gambling. That will be different from one to another country but if we see what is written on the casino, the allowance of people to playing gambling is above 18+ so they who is under 18 can't playing gambling. Although they can still playing gambling without anyone knows, especially if the casino doesn't have strictly rules. That will gives an easiness for people who under 18 to playing gambling and they will not have a problem until the casino asks them to fills verification.

Yes, parents jobs is guides their children not to make a wrong decision, especially if parents found their children playing gambling in their room. Parents must explains what impacts gambling to their lives and what will happens to them in the future. Parents can gives many examples to their children just to show how dangerous gambling for them, especially if their children doesn't have self control.

Parents definitely try to give the best education to the child but there are some parents who cannot give time to the family. Children from those families are more likely to become addicted to gambling. A kid doing whatever he wants in a day. Gambling age is an important issue. KYC plays an important role in determining the age of a customer so that no one can gamble under the age. But that strategy is no longer useful nowadays. Because today's minors know how to deal with KYC issues, they even create accounts with other people's cards and conduct gambling.

If the parents give enough time to a child from the beginning of its growth. A child who helps him understand his good and bad things will never be disobedient. If the child is an adult, parents can also help him understand the issues related to gambling. What is the purpose of gambling? Why one should avoid excessive gambling. etc. When a person knows beforehand he will never become addicted to gambling.

KYC, for example, people who already have a bill and also their complete identity can very easily fulfill the requirements for completing KYC, but each country is different, in my country aged 18+ they usually don't have any bill, so it is difficult for them to complete KYC themselves.

The source of funds will not be asked at the time of KYC verification for sure unless it has something to do with their deposits, they don't need to have a bill like a credit card or utility bill but casinos accept any form of ID cards for age verification so one who turned 18 don't need to be afraid about their verification at all.

[Dewi Aries]

Overall, it is certain that someone who is less than 18 years old will not be allowed to engage in gambling, none other than because it is an age where a person has not yet entered the phase of maturity in himself which makes it difficult for him to make considerations to get the best decision according to the situation and conditions. But if we talk about gambling then I think someone who has entered the age of over 20 years can still have a childish nature that makes it difficult for them to balance themselves, so I can't say that all people who have passed 18 years are those who are really allowed to engage in gambling, in the end it depends on the person too because there are quite a lot of factors that make them not enter the phase of maturity even though they have exceeded the age of 18 years. On the other hand for other issues about KYC, in my opinion someone who is still under the age of 18 will not experience any problems if for example they are involved in a casino that does not make KYC a condition of involvement, because lately there are also quite a lot of casinos that appear without making KYC a condition for involvement.

Yes one can do kyc anywhere if NID, Driving licenses, Passport is any document. and one can do all these documents only after 18 years. But kyc is not a great solution for checking 18 years. because many minors are gambling and if there is a need for kyc then they are doing kyc using the documents of their parents or other guardians. there is also a history of many people buying accounts and using them. so parental awareness is needed to keep minor children away from gambling.  And when 18+ then he is ready to take his own decision then he will be responsible for whatever he can do

Its ridiculous that kids can bypass these systems and gamble with someone else's money. KYC is failing us, plain and simple. Parents, we need to be present and involved. Thats the key. Kids arent born understanding the dangers of gambling. They need us. When parents lay out the consequences, the real-world impact, kids get it. They wont develop those addictive habits in the first place. Kids are way smarter than we give them credit for, but they need their parents to show them the way, set the boundaries. Its about teaching them values, not just letting them grow up.

We gamble in a way that someone who is a neutral person holds the funds that we use to bet, and after the bet is over. The person acting as an escrow will be rewarded with a little amount from the winner.

I think gambling in a country where it's been prohibited is even a crime to start with because if you get caught you are definitely going to be prosecuted so if you happen to be in any of such countries i think it's wey safe to avoid gambling so you don't get to suffer the wrath of the law owing to the fact that you got involved with that which is considered illegal in the country as they have reason for it.

But then if you must gamble in such a country i still advice you get to the age of adulthood which is 18+ as recommend by most gambling sites as you and your friend were actually exposing yourselves to danger too early and i definitely not going to encourage that as eve most casinos both online a d offline discourages that. If you are up to the age of gambling in countries where it's permited then you will definitely not have to hide and gamble because you are up to the age and not hiding to gamble because you are literally doing what's considered legal.

Your friend and you actually had a very good way around gambling even in a country where it wasn't permited but the dangers around it was in the fact if you have any issues with the casinos, they can do whatever they wish and go Scot free as they are not been regulated in your region due to the prohibit and they are aswell not even liable for your what happens because they are not in your region and you may be accessing them illegally.

Yes, I have heard news that kids these days are doing that. Using their guardians or their parents' identity so that they can gamble their way. There are even those who went too far at using their older friends' accounts or identities too just so they can continue their bad habits. That's the worst-case scenario because the parents won't even have any idea about what his happening while if the kid uses his/her parents' identity, there's a chance the parent might receive a word of it from email or different ways.
It's not like it's easy to stop but still if we are a responsible parent then we should monitor our kids movements or what websites they are visiting, I think it's all written somewhere and it could be traced even though he delete his history.

First, why are these kids gambling? Something's deeper, underage or not. The sports aren't the only draw; they also provide excitement and possibly fill a vacuum. We must address that issue. The 18-year-olds are in limbo. Law says they're adults, but life differs. Our algorithm holds them until they're 'worthy' of inclusion, regardless of credit history or track record. Is it any surprise that dissatisfaction and desperate solutions result?

What about "Know Your Community" aka new KYC? What does it say about our environment if kids and young adults believe they must cheat the system to participate? We cannot ban the issue. Understanding what drives these behaviours, finding better outlets, and giving these youth a chance are important.

And if they use the computer of their parents and/or elder brothers/sisters then they can easily use the gambling account of their parents and or sisters/brothers. I think gambling can be stopped only if the parents and other relatives whose computer access or access of the phone can be denied then they might not be able to gamble.

I don't know how people use their computers, but there's no way another person will have access to my account on my device.

Do people leave their accounts open, with no passwords, and all the passwords saved in their browsers?

That's crazy to me, but apparently very common. With a password you will eliminate all those issues.
