Is it proper for younger ones to gamble?

[Wapfika]

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.

Land based or physical casinos carries the 18 years warning sign to deter underage from gambling but sadly, people do not heed to this warning in some countries. The gambling attendant do not need to ask for IDs to verify their age, seeing the school children on uniform is enough reason to chase them away. Even if they've clocked 18 years, after school hours they're supposed to go home, freshen up before anything else. If it were in some part of the world, the he could get locked up for allowing the kids to gamble.

In general, I agree on this since students in my country is not even allowed to enter on computer shop which is play for online games only when they are on school uniform.

But the OP never mention what is the exact age of the student because there’s an instances that a college student has an age above 18 when their course is 5 years or they repeat some school year. I have a lot of classmate before that is around 25 above while I’m still 18 on college since they stop many school year due to poverty then later on back to school after they already have money to finish their studies.

I doubt this is the case on this discussion but I’m totally okay if these students is same of what I’m referring.

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.

gambling has become open to the extent that when you fail to hold your children tight they will think that the gambling is the best option, in normal circumstances any child that is not up to 18 years is not supposed to participate in gambling and that is another reason that we encourage people not to discuss anything that have to do with the gambling whenever they are around home because their children we think that it is the best thing so far to do is don't participate in gambling so gambling is meant for adult not for children so any child that is up to 18 years and above is eligible to participate in gambling

what? you saw two teenagers with uniforms gambling and you automatically thought that younger ones were taking gambling more seriously than school, I'm sorry but how in the hell did you land on that conclusion? Are students in your area constantly gambling? if so why not report the betting shops letting these kids gamble on their betting shops? I suggest taking pictures as evidence when you present your complaint to the authorities. that being said, I can't help but wonder whether the authorities will actually do something about it.

In the past, people used to look out for one another but it is not so anymore. Rather than looking out for one another we simple look for what to put on social media for likes and validation. We all have a collective responsibility towards these kids especially the underaged kids. They should not be allow around a betting shop let alone even granting them permission to enter into the betting shop.

It is a failure of the society and this needs to be addressed ASAP if not we won't have kids anymore. Back in the days, all kids want to do after school is go ride bicycle with their fellow kids and play in the park. Parenting was intentional. This is not so again. It has all gone bad and the government needs to increase their campaign against underaged betting. I say a bill should be passed that fines the bet shop operators that allow these kids in their premises even if they are not betting.

With current technological developments, of course it will make it easier for anyone to access gambling sites. As parents who fail to supervise their children, this will be very unfortunate because those who gamble before they are more than 18 years old will of course find it very difficult to control themselves and will has a bad impact on their lives, of course it would be better not to talk about gambling in front of our children so that they don't get curious about it and try it themselves.

Gambling companies have a stipulated age for gambling which I think is 18 years, this is 18 is believed to be the age that every growing person can be able to have control over him or herself and take decision of whats right.
The story you narrated I think the bet shop cahier and the owner of the shop should be arrested because normally the shop owner would have instructed his employee on what to do, for you as a bettor to see that, it means that it is not the first day such thing will be happening, the society at large has changed and things are been done differently this time because of love of money, i think place like this should be exposed so that they will face the law adequately.

What if the school knew maybe the two teenagers would get punished for playing gambling in school uniform, the owner of the gambling shop should have prohibited it but did not know what their rules were there, if the category of children then it was not allowed.

Gambling is now angrily penetrating into children who maybe they saw the beginning of it on the internet then tried it and got addicted to playing, but with this situation it goes back to the parents who educate them he must know that easy generations should not play gambling unless they have reached their age limit.

But because the country may be legal, there are no restrictions on who enters the store nor does it question the age even though there are clear rules.

In such a scenario, I think the gamblers left school to gamble just like they usually do for video games. Things have changed and kids are beginning to develop interest in gambling more than they do in video games and other gaming activities. This is for their interest in money. Every kids needs money due to the pressure from peers in terms of possessions and gadget. Some claim they got it through gambling, yet it's not a good reason for kids to focus on gambling when they are meant to read their books. Assuming the young school kids came without school uniforms it would have been better than showing up in the gaming house with their school wears. It's a better reason for the shop managers to ouse them from the room. But they don't do it, because they need the kid's money.

Amidst all 18+ products I think alcohol has a better restrictions on young people. Gambling doesn't offer such a complete restrictions due to the differences on individuals. Some adults always bypass these kids because they are not related to one another. If they were close relatives the managers would have asked them out. It's a kind of pathological selfishness. Where everyone cares about their loved ones alone and don't give a damn on others who are not friends with them. However, those kids are only risking their mental strength. As they may not be able to control the impulses. That's why it's crucial they are being helped out of such behavior earlier as teenagers.

Government only regulates the casino but they don't make sure that the casino keeps to the law. This is why you see that underage are gambling in betshop, and that should not be so. The government is not helping issues, because from what I understand they are only after the money coming out from the casino as their taxes and not about the casino activities to make sure that the casino is not abused or used by undeage. I will also blame the attendants on the betshop for allowing such child to book his bet. However, we might still put the blame on the parents and guardians of these children, because sometimes the parents or elder brother send these children to go and book a game for them, while they stay at home.

[bitzizzix]

Although I am not an active gambler, I do not want my child to become one.

And what happens in the OP's case is very unfortunate if a betting shop allows children who are still at school, even those in school uniforms, to enter the betting shop. And what makes me don't understand why the police and other officers at that location don't take firm action against this betting shop, and it seems like cases like this often happen in this betting shop. This is because there are no inspections and strict rules or prohibitions against minors, especially those who are still in school.
And if that really happens, then their future will be bleak if they are already involved in gambling because they are still in school and should be studying well.

And OP better provide photo evidence because I don't think that makes sense, and if it really happened. In my opinion, the casino shop must have received protests from the local community or been closed by the authorities.

The school would definitely punish anyone engaging with gambling, drinking and smoking while using the uniform, in some cases, depending whether the school is a religious one, it could go as far as reaching to the professors and teachers themselves, so they have to make sure not to wear the uniform while doing those things. My bet is that the school never figured it out and nobody was willing sell out the identities of those teens to the authorities of the school anyways.
Again, if there is something I have learnt in this situations when people who is not supposed to be able to legally gamble manage to do it anyways, most of the times the clues point to the greed and the seek for profit which comes from the operator or owner of the betting place / casino.

Since all this is about money, then the solution would be easy, just by enforcing fines to those casinos/betting houses to allow children and teens to gamble would be enough for them to learn the lesson and ban children from entering the establishment completely.

If it is legal then there is nothing that we could do about it, it is part of the parents job to make the younger ones understand how gambling could affect their future.
Honestly I also used to gamble back when I was in highschool so I kinda understand them, the only thing that they need is someone to guide them, so that they wouldn't succumb to it, and wouldn't get addicted that they would throw away their future or get their future be destroyed.
We have been there before and some of us eneded up pretty well.

Wearing school uniform is definitely not a good idea to gamble. Those children are not interested in studies. Moreover, the biggest thing is that they are not even of gambling age. I think any casino companies or gambling companies must have a policy. Those who are minors should never have been allowed. But nowadays the people running the casino or gambling companies don't pay any attention to those things. They feel that minors should also be exposed to gambling to get more money. Because of their flexible position, those minors get access to the platform. Any such work should never be supported as it may lead to minor changes which will not bring any good to the society or the country.

The average online casino has specific requirements regarding the age of its customers, meaning there are specific restrictions that they must adhere to. But this age limit can still be ignored by most teenagers who are interested in gambling, especially at casinos that do not have special requirements to pass KYC when creating an account.

Wearing a school uniform to gamble at a land-based casino was something I found hard to believe. Casino security guard would know what to do and he should be able to prevent school children (in school uniform) from gambling at the casino. I'm not sure where it is or what the local gambling laws are, but this story seems unreal to me.

If you are really that in concern with those kids then you would really be speaking into the head or owner of the said casino or betting place on which you would really be making out such complaint on why there are students on the vicinity on which they've been allowed on doing such thing on which we know that they shouldnt really be there in the first place. Its a right approach that you have said something like this.
No parent would really be liking on seeing their kids on doing gambling specially into their puberty days. lol. They arent that matured enough for them to be able to handle out on how gambling should really be
deal with.

On the time that you would really be allowing those fellas to play then it would really be turning out for them to become those gamblers at very young age on which this is something that
must be stopped while its still early. As a parent and seeing those kids lurking around then it would really be just that a normal approach to have.

It's likely the betting shop is commiting a crime by allowing teenagers dressed in school's uniforms to gamble inside the building. Even illegal casinos don't allow underage gamblers inside, because the sentences and punishments for such practices are more severe in these cases. To allow teenagers inside betting shops is really negatively seen by everyone around, including other gamblers. For the own good of the people behind this betting shop, it's better that they pay more attention to who they are allowing inside, and if it's an employee's decision, better that they instruct this employee on how to act accordingly to avoid creating issues for them later.

You did well by asking and raising concerns regards this situation inside the environment. Now you can just hope you put some good sense on the heads of the present people, so they will change their indifference towards the situation from now on.

If you are sure people you saw are teenagers, you have every right to walk them out. Question the shop manager or agent, whichever one it appears to be, because I believe in almost every country.

Irrespective of which one you saw those kids gambling age should range from 18 years and above, so what those school kids are doing is illegal, and if you are a troublesome person, you can also report both the shop rep to the authorities, where they can be prosecuted for such.

I understand your points but do you aswell think it is just too easy like you said. There is every reason why the manager kept a blind eye to the teenagers gambling, who told you he never knew it was inappropriate to let them gamble, he let them because he was getting good profits from the teenagers so he has less interest if they keep on playing or not. For you chasing them out means the manager lossing some money which may arise to a dispute between the both of you and as we know this teenagers are now very saucy and difficult to accepting corrections, they might aswell gang up against you instead of them learning and correcting themselves.

That good profit that he is making, which made him form a blind eye over teenagers who come to gamble in a betting shop under his custody, is enough reason to not let him go unpunished. Anyone who helps the other person commit a crime should also be served the same punishment as the person who committed the crime because he is also an accomplice. 
 
Laws are laws unless they are not noticeable and can be easily ignored. Okay,  because he is looking for profit for his business, he should allow schoolchildren to skip school and gamble comfortably in his shop. That doesn't make sense. If anyone deems it necessary to take any action against the person, he will definitely not go unpunished.

It is not proper and shouldn't be encouraged. Anyone supporting underage gambling doesn't know one of the rules of gambling that states that a youngster below 18 years shouldn't gamble or find their way into a gambling house.

I wouldn't stay in a place where I would see younger ones gambling without reacting badly to what makes them think of gambling at a young age. What exactly are they looking for in a gambling house, is it to make money in gambling at a tender age and forget about education?

OP, it is weird that someone could ask whether is there any age restrictions on gambling. Like, it is free to allow underage to gamble at any place we find them to be since there are no restrictions given by the gambling house that those below 18 years shouldn't gamble.

I agree that it is not appropriate to make things Simple for a person under 18 years Old , I think that the rules should always be established for what they are , I can say that it has to be about the players who are older, and If anyone wants to play, then simply, you have to wait until you reach the age of majority, I do not recommend that you do or try to go against the rules of 18 years Because there will be problems everywhere, so due to these things it is better to continue that simple rule and not continue doing things for the sake of doing them but Always focusing on what is Essential to avoid problems in the Future, with money things must be clear.

I think your are talking about those third world countries, Am I right ? So there rules and law aren't properly implemented on the people or peoples of that countries don't follow their law of government. Under age gambling is never can be a good sign for a casino so stop them and take step against them who allow child on the bar. Or you may complain against them to your authority of country.

There should be a minimum age for a person to be allowed for gambling in any country and I hope there is one where you reside too and if the operator doesn't seems to care about it and allow kids to bet then you can call the cops or any security services related to handle these kind of things. But isn't the job of their parents to supervise what their kids are doing?
