Is it proper for younger ones to gamble?

[rodskee]

Because nowadays the younger ones take gambling more seriously then school. Yesterday i got back home early so I decided to step out and go to a betting shop to catch some fun while gambling, I saw two teenagers gambling with their school uniforms on them.

I asked someone besides me why did they allow this boy's to come in with their uniforms and gamble, he said did they put any restrictions that younger ones are not allowed to gamble. I said but it's not normal, I replied him what if this are your kids would you be happy seeing them gambling with their uniforms on them. So what do you guys think about this situation at hand now.

back in our days when I was a young kid there are occasions that we choose to gamble than going to
school but this is super secret that no one knew where we are doing this gambling because we are scared
of others knowing our gambling as for us then this is a crime (from our parents and school teachers) but in
your post young gamblers are caring nothing to show people about their activities and with that this is really
alarming .

It depends on the country and their legal framework concerning gambling and how the law enforcement services are in such regions as regards to under age gambling.

In general the permite age for individuals to gamble is 18+ i don't know if there are any countries that permits individuals who  fall below that age to do so. Though most online gambling platforms where KYC is not required had made it very easy for kids ranging from 15-17 years to gamble online without being noticed that's the more reasons i feel the KYC policy is important to tackle situations like this.

 Well if those kids are above 18 years then they've got every right to do so but then what if they were skipping classes to gamble, that's one thing i would've been very curious about if i were the manager of that particular betting shop, also i think they're gradually becoming addicts cause if it might be that they're done with school for the day but then instead of going home to rest and refresh their memory they decided to visit a gambling shop instead.

What country are you talking about OP? I'm curious, because as others said the general rule in most countries is that you have to be 18+.

That's reasonable because if I'm not wrong the prefrontal cortex, meant to control impulses, isn't fully developed until that age or even later, so they aren't supposed to be capable of gambling with responsibility.

Having a restrictions when it comes to gambling is also depends on which country you came from because there are countries that gambling are not allowed not unless you are age 21 and above and we need to accept that but you have a point, minors should not allowed to gamble because it will leads them in more serious problem in the future, we shouldn't normalize or tolerate them in doing it because there's a possibility that they will develop addiction by doing it at very young age.

[AHOYBRAUSE]

Absolutely not.
Gambling is a sort of entertainment where you use and lose money you don't rely on, so it's an expensive "hobby".
Younger people obviously don't have that much money and don't really know the value of it.
Sure, nowadays people are acting all grown up much faster I think, but still it is not good to gamble at an early age.

I don't see anything good for it, unless for places that offer better. They should use the money they earn to build a life, get an education, create experiences and memories at this age. Everything else is a waste of time, money and brain cells.

[bitbollo]

unfortunately, the illusion of easy money is really risky for young people.
above all, it is very serious issue to put gambling over studying, that allow building solid foundations on a professional level.
This is not to say that gambling cannot be done as a profession.
However the "winning is easy" approach is a really risk and dangerous approach in a young... they are not just risk to losing large amounts without even realizing it .... they risk also to become dependent and entering the vortex of addiction....

At the young age, everyone just loves to have fun, so in this case, gambling has become a good means of entertainment for the youth, and while playing there, they gradually become serious about gambling, due to which at one time they become deeply addicted to gambling. But avoiding this issue is almost impossible for the youth these days as gambling companies are promoting them by hiring a lot of influencers who are catching the attention of all the youth.

These types of things happen in countries where regulations and laws are not properly enforced.

This is where adults should step in and take responsible decisions to protect the younger generation. (You can report it to local law enforcement or social services, if you do not want to get directly involved.)

The community should stand together to protect their children, because some governments are corrupt and they might ignore this problem or those operators might pay them bribes to look the other way.

[bittraffic]

It should be the responsibility of the betting shop to not let them go inside. Teens always want to show off to their buddies that they get away with breaking rules though and sometimes they need more than slapping the wrist to learn.

But because it's not your place to scold those boys, maybe just reporting authorities will make them stop going to the bet shop.

This person is not really a knowledgeable person and I suspect he is a man, the kind of father that doesn't bother how their children are raised. Everybody knows that there are limitations on what children shouldn't do at a certain age until they get to an appropriate age and that includes gambling which in most jurisdictions it is 18 years. 18 years is taken as the age where a person is considered to be about to give informed decision and able to take care of themselves to such extent to know right or wrong or give consent to certain decisions. So if school children work into a gambling house, the management of the place should be able to identify them and send them away because it will be a violation of the gambling age if children are allowed to gamble.

Agreed , these kids does not know what they are doing(at least do not know what awaits for them if they continue) so we as adults must do the necessary thing in which reporting the gambling business that catering these kids and of course those kids that for sure their parents does not know what they are doing away from home.
parents believe they are studying and not this way.

In all parts of the world, there is either illegal gambling or underage gambling restriction. I think because of how gambling is in their country, the laws are taking for granted which makes underage to gamble. But we do not know their age, they can be 18 or 19 years which are not underage because in most countries these ages are legal to gamble. The OP did not know their age and he should not just conclude. But if they see underage gambling, it is better to report to gambling regulators in the country about the casino or betting shop.

Oh believe me frenn here in Indonesia slot gambling is very very popular I just write very twice because it is highly popular here even some kid that are in the middle of school already play slot. Easy to deposit and withdraw make everyone want to try and the animation is crazy and don't forget about the prize too.

Most of them watch an adult play and maybe they know about Jackpot that can won hundred of dollar so they eager to deposit some money in hope they win some money in future

[joeperry]

In general 18 years old and above are allowed to gamble and play in casinos and other gambling platforms but younger than that and still wearing a uniform, that's really a problem. First they should not allow people to play especially if they are wearing a school uniform. There are some rules here in our country that students who wear uniforms are not allowed to play in computer shops as they are tended to get addicted to play, what more on a gambling site right?

Though just like what I have said as long as the student is 18 years old or above, it has it's own decision whether to play or not.

Maybe they have been influence to much on what they are watching online since online casino has been promoted so bad without having any limits to what those promoters doing since what they only like is to get money from people who could see from their advertisement. That's why those young people will have bad impression that its easy to gamble since they can earn a quick cash if they do this activity which we know it really doesn't give any guarantee to anyone.

For the question if its proper for them to gamble at that situation I guess not. That's why there's KYC implemented on some casino and there's 18+ so it could able to protect those minors for possible harmful effect of gambling since for sure at that age they can't decide well for theirselves. If they are participating on any gambling activities ad we can't see anything action done by their parents I guess they are living on harmful environment and that's what those young people see to them so they think that their activities done are so normal.

maybe he is familiar with their uniforms that's why he knew that they are just kids considering that in my locality i am also familiar with school uniforms to distinguish how young each student is.
but lets give those kids benefits of the doubt that they are 18-19 yet as a parent that bringing your children in school and here they are spending money/allowance to gamble?i think still not to give concent what you think mate?

At first, we do not know the age bracket of the younger generation you are talking about and another is that you do not know the age of the boys you are talking about but I think it is wrong for them to have allowed the boys go in there with their school uniform still on them to gamble. It is not right to have allowed such irrespective of the age bracket of those boys. They should have changed up before going to gamble.

Looking at the fact that they went there possibly they might be of age for them to have gone there because these days age does not matter anymore when it comes to engagement unless there are restrictions from the government of a nation based in that aspect of activities or engagements.

On the other hand, the casino would likely not drive them away because they are their client or customers paying for services. They would assume that they boys are of age for them to have walked into the casino as every one is old and matured enough to read the casino policies before they gamble with the casino. They would capitalise on it that everyone has freedom of association so therefore the gamblers already know that so  so why questioning them.

Nowadays things have changed a lot, youngsters take money making too seriously like their lives depend on it, most of them don't want to do this but their parents are the ones fueling this idea onto their kids, they aren't telling them to visits the casino directly though, but most parents today are simy raising kids to have a comfortable life soon, if the kids are boys they will start pulling them when they get to a certain age, like 14 or 15 years, I have seen this happened many times.

What do you expect someone at this age to have up in their skulls? This is a crucial age stage where you don't want your child to be addicted to anything, because it could be something they won't be able to get out from as they grow older.

Young people should not be thinking about money but trying to build their career or something, but since the parents are not the type to be having children they will lead the kids astray, forcing them to go out there and hunt for money as if that's the reason why they bring those kids into this world.

If parents can't guide their kids right what is the fault of the government who don't care about their supposed future leaders?

Youth is the hope of a country, so they should be properly taught and nurtured with what's valuable in life; the government should not allow it. The government and the home are responsible for this; the youth will eventually neglect their study, stop their schooling and just gamble in the hope that they can make easy money here, in the end, we will have future problems with this youth, so the government and the parents should stop it.

Here in our country, we have very strict regulations about allowing youth to gamble; it is considered corruption of minors, and a company found doing it, will face stiff penalties; if they keep doing this, allowing underage to play on their platform, they could face a jail term.

Those who are underage should not be introduced to gambling, especially for those who are still in school, who still depend on their parents to meet their living needs, meaning they have no income at all.

This is because gambling can be a real threat to those who are underage, where if they are trapped in a cycle of irresponsible gambling, if this problem is not addressed immediately then the gambling activities they engage in can backfire and destroy their lives and future. .

Therefore, monitor the daily lives of our children and siblings, give them lessons and warnings about the negative impacts of irresponsible gambling activities. Don't let them know about gambling or engage in gambling prematurely. Because quite a few young people drop out of school and behave negatively as a result of the domino effect caused by gambling addiction problems. And don't let this happen to one of our family members. If you like gambling, then never show your gambling activities in front of those who are not old enough, because this could be a bad spectacle, and could motivate them to do the same thing, namely gambling.
