Gambling centres/online gambling sites for underaged children?

[Hispo]

*Am curious to know if the idea to curb gambling addiction or control it, as well as regulate its activity, is possible by creating or introducing either online or offline gambling centres/sites specifically designed for underaged children?

*Do you know or have you heard of any gambling sites or existing gambling centres specifically designed for underaged children?

I am neither curious nor in favor of it, actually.Being addicted to gambling is already bad as an adult, being addicted to it since childhood or adolescence sounds equally or even more serious and dangerous for the person personal growth.
I have never seen any place which allows children and teens to gamble and honestly, I would not like to know any which does. The furthest I have seen it is how some forms of gambling are being pushed inside the video game industry in the form of so-called "loot boxes", which I al sure have already introduced some children and teens to gambling around the world.

By the way, there are countries in which there are societal problems which do not allow children to attend school, imagine how that could change for the worse if those same people were introduced to gambling at such young age?

Since some of us, if not all of us are aware of the issues of gambling addiction being a concern for the government of some countries and they know that some of the gamblers are very young and have picked up such habits from a very young age and it's from those who are close, elderly and addicted and indulge so quite often;

Make no mistake this isn't any solution to underage gambling in anyway. As in, it makes no sense, no difference that the government or anyone would want to create children gambling sites as a control mechanism to curb the menace on children gambling. 

Entertaining such an initiative can only encourage more kids into off/online gambling, for there are quite other better public policies to come up with in discouraging underage gambling which the government can embark on.

Maybe a perennial debates programmes on negative impact of gambling on underage could be sponsored and organized with parents encouraging their kids and wards to participate or attend even as spectators to the event. This alone can narrow some positive changes on underage-gambling.

Never heard of any gambling centres or anything that's near it for underage and I never want to hear anything about it if there is one. That's absurd.

It's a responsibility failure as a parent if we cannot keep our children out of this habit. They may be having some trouble with their family which could be the reason why their eyes are set on bad things such as gambling, drugs, alcohol, and other stuff that is addictive.
What about abandoned kids? Now it becomes the failure of the government for not having enough institutions to bring these kids to the right path so they can be useful in the future of the country.
We don't teach them to gamble or be responsible gamblers. As much as possible cut them from doing it again and set the right path.

Gambling sites state that minors cannot participate in gambling. It states that a gambler must be at least 18 years of age and below 18 years of age cannot participate in gambling. That's why many gambling sites require users to face KYC because only if KYC is done, a gambler is an adult. Usually during the childhood or teenage years, the appropriate time for studying will not be created enough for them to build a career if they spend this time on gambling. So a minor gambler must follow different rules when participating in gambling.  If school or college students participate in gambling, their studies will be disrupted and they will not be able to pursue their careers properly.

Why do I have this strong feeling that this is an initiative to recruit more underage children into gambling or another means to modernize and justify the fact that more and more underage children are becoming gambling addicts in recent times?

I have never heard of any site or gambling site special designed for underageed kids. And i dont care to know.

Things like this should be eradicted immediately they are being brought up because it will do more harm than good in the society we live in.

This is ridiculous and insane at the same time!

Just as there is no safe level of alcohol or tobacco for children to consume, there is also no acceptable amount of conscious gambling for them.
People should be introduced to gambling at the age of 18 and over. I think it is not enough to allow 16-year-olds to gamble in some countries.

Governments should create programs for financial education, that is a fact, but never associate this with the "conscious use" of gambling.

I believe that educational games that do not involve real money, providing guidance on common everyday practices such as the conscious use of credit cards, the need for consumption versus the personal satisfaction of having something, are something that should be encouraged, always preventing anything that is harmful to people financially.

The children should not engage in the gambling game,because they will be immature in nature.So the losses in the game will leads to the biggest loss for them,they even try to commit suicide for the loss.They would not have the maturity of the money can be earned and loss are the passing cloud of our life.The gamblers while playing itself should accept the loss and play the games with individual responsibility.By this only the gamblers can’t be affected by the losses in the game.The important one to be avoided by the gambler is he should not play the game by taking loan from his friends.This will trigger him to play the game with more pressure.

[Potato Chips]

Do you perhaps mean gambling centers for curing gambling addiction?--the term site can also be used to describe a place-- and not gambling casinos specifically for playing? Though minors aren't allowed to gamble, it's not that hard to find ways to slip through imo.

It just doesn't make sense how op talked about concerns on gambling addiction then proceeded to an idea of introducing children to casinos lol. I think the post could be poorly worded. Let us know, op.

No, I haven't heard anything like that but if something like that happens then it's going to be helpful for the underage children who got addicted to gambling. In fact I believe underage children should not be allowed to gamble, and parents should be more careful to check online activity of their young ones.

How can you control an addiction if you legalize it? We are trying to prevent children from gambling, not encourage them. I do not get the logic behind this. Some reverse psychology will not work because many kids will actually enjoy the prospect of having a legit platform to gamble. I do not support this idea as it will just worsen the gambling addictions among children. If adults, whose brains have developed properly already, get addicted from gambling how do you think children who are still immature do with legit platforms?

*Do you know or have you heard of any gambling sites or existing gambling centres specifically designed for underaged children?

No but if it were any it is most likely illegal and hidden. Underground kind of sites that only those inside the community will know.

....No? Why would there be gambling centers centered around children? There's a LEGAL age for gambling, similar to how intaking alcohol and other related stuff exists afaik. That's also why KYC and other identity related stuff are usually needed when playing, to prevent underaged gamblers themselves.

And idk why you keep specifying underaged children, if you wanted to tackle people who are addicted then rehab centers, in general, can help. It helps people of all ages.

Yes, it will only help if a child has already fallen into gambling addiction, but I would not agree if someone had the idea to create a gambling site specifically for minors, because after all, a minor should be kept away from gambling, keep anything related to gambling away from the eyes of children, because it could potentially damage their mindset and threaten their future.

If it was ethical for children to gamble, there would have been no caution of above 18 stated on the terms and conditions of service and the government would not have bothered to put laws restricting underage gambling. OP, I wish you could hear yourself, I wish you could just sit and reflect on your comment of underage gambling and how it sounds to your hearing and your thoughts.

I believe as a result of addiction and other side effects of gambling, the government restricted underage gambling and made it a crime against the law. The idea of such opinion does not sound normal and as such is not advisable to hold onto.

There's a reason as why you haven't heard it, it's because minors or underage people shouldn't be doing it. It shouldn't exist but rather avoid them and stop them from doing so especially to those young people who don't even have a stable income.

Gambling is too much for minors whereas even us of the right age are too prone to be caught up with addiction, how more to these children who strives to get rich quick and are irresponsible.

Gambling and children are two words that never will be together, there is no casino who will allow kids to place bets. And there is a good reason for it. Gambling can generate addiction same as drugs and alcohol, so, letting a kid gamble is like letting him go to a bar and get wasted.

And most of the casinos have KYC nowadays, if the kid hits a jackpot it will be impossible for him to claim that money and get it out from the casino. Trying to find a site for underaged gamblers addicted will be like finding a site for underaged alcoholics.

I am not sure if there is any centres available for the underage children. As a parents what you can do is restrict your underage child from using smartphones or PCs frequently. Keep a track of your money and balances. When a chile is underage, the parents are the best mentor for giving them the right direction. Putting them in rehabilitation centre won’t help with their addiction. Control your children and divert them into other things. Moreover the casinos now have already become smart and they are forcing KYC, if they sense any abnormality in the accounts.

[len01]

That doesn't make sense to me, and there are no gambling sites provided for minors. Realistically, it is very risky for the platform founders and no one would ever build a business like that.
Gambling is designed for use by gamblers who are 18 years or older or who have more mature thinking and better control. Although there are many underage children gambling and becoming addicted out there, it's all their business, and no online gambling entity will ever care about it. Because gambling is always closely tied to each individual's responsibility to exercise strong self control.
So there is no way or anything to control or regulate gambling addiction.

If creating an online gambling site specifically for minors with the aim of controlling gambling activities and addictions, I think it is impossible to succeed as expected because they will continue to gamble and how can it be controlled and cured of addiction.
However, to control and stop addiction is to suppress every gambling activity, even to completely eliminate the habit of gambling, not to provide special place for gambling, this is really an idea and narrative that I think is not quite right.

*Do you know or have you heard of any gambling sites or existing gambling centres specifically designed for underaged children?

So far I have never heard or even seen it, but I hope all of that does not exist because it will make more and more children and teenagers who are increasingly familiar with gambling, and can even increase the potential for gamblers among children and teenagers to increase.

I agree with you. The use of mobiles and PCs for children is constantly increasing and they are becoming highly addicted to these electronics. It is very important to keep your beloved children away from these devices as it can reduce their eyesight and have negative effects from using various inappropriate sites. Also, they can get used to playing various paid games which can affect your balance so you should try your best to keep them out of reach of children.

You should find out the cause of addiction to these electronics and take the children out for occasional outings so that they are not exposed to harmful entertainment items. In modern society, the space for children's mental development is getting smaller and parents are not able to spend enough time to look after them due to which they become addicted.

Gambling is not for children. so there is no need for a gambling site specifically for them.
The fear is not because they do not have money to gamble. it could be that the children are from a wealthy environment, so money may not be a problem for children to gamble. the problem is the level of understanding of risk and the weak emotional control of children.

Children under age should be directed to fun games, not gamble with what they have. I do not expect there will be a gambling site for children under age.
