How can casinos for 18 year olds ensure that players truly respect the min age?

[Orpichukwu]

No matter the kind of trick that casino seems to be using to apply to their system, I don't think there is ever going to be a perfect way to make sure that no minor passes through their verification process and plays in their casino.

People are getting wiser, and identity theft is even more popular nowadays with AI making it so much easier to be anyone and pass any form of verification, so if you ask me, I don't think there is any perfect way; some will be caught while the ones that know their way out won't.

First and more important than the measurements a casino should do, it the parents duty to watch their kids activities online. They can install tools or Dns to prevent gambling website and applications, along with verifying what content they are watching on YouTube. The new generation now is more developed than us previously, we might be the first generation of online gambling, by that time it was harder for us to complete a KYC before even making a deposit on the traditional payment methods.
Now this generation even under the legal age of gambling allowed in different countries, basically the 18+ in most regions, they manage to either steal their parents IDs or even buy fake documents. So I believe the casino have a small responsibility to detect under age but parents are more responsible about their kids, teaching them and preventing them to know about gambling before they reach the legal age.

Parents have 90% role to play in the life of their kids while gambling activity is considered the first, I will not put the blame on parents because gambling activity is all over everywhere even on social media besides few social app lack the age control setting. Why do people intend to point out mistakes children create then using their parents as an example obviously these kids learn almost everything at home first before other outdoor activity. KYC should be able to trace an underage and that’s the only option left seeing most parents are not aware about their kids personal life talk more of gambling activity, the casino should find other alternative that can help while parents play their role.

You're right. The only advantage I see with KYC is that it can minimize the impact of casinos on minors , However , today's children are very smart , they're capable of finding fake IDs and are able to successfully pass a casino's KYC. How do they do it? I don't know, but I know they do. So it's not something that has to be decisive , The best option is to Keep an eye on what your children do? Parental supervision; there's no other option.

But actually, not only minimizing the impact of casinos on minors, but KYC is also needed to anticipate money laundering criminal acts that often occur in casinos,
so that with KYC the casino will know who the user is and how the transaction is made, all can be tracked to determine whether the transaction is clean from money laundering or not.

And about minors who can use Fake IDs, now it is easy to create and I even know how to create an ID that can be accepted for KYC verification.
Although it uses facial recognition, now everything can be done with the help of AI and it can manipulate the system.

Now it only takes the role of parents to supervise their children so that they do not get into gambling.

Casinos can only ask of KYC but they cannot see who is at the back of the screen. Teens below 18 do use their parents or relatives documents to bypass the casino restriction of underage in order for them to gamble. Which means that, the KYC thing is only effective for obedient under age teens and not for the ones who finds breaking the rules as fun or is desperate to gamble.

Exactly what I'm looking out for, most members where talking about the age factors but they forget to understand that this teenage ones are always fast in their ways and as well know how to manuevre their way to get what they want, so they can try to make use of their elderly ones documents and all that and have their way through the gambling process, so how do one bypass them on that , that's what we should be looking at . Yes the age factors it's the major criteria but we should still have some thoughts on this angle as well inorder to prevent them from it.

[suzanne5223]

There's no curiosity about it.
To prevent user below is the casino minimum age requirement is the reason why most casino master license holders prioritize the implementation of KYC, and this is also the reason why some casino who don't require KYC before later adopt the use of KYC because alot of minors are going extra length which involves the creation of fake IDs to avoid restrictions and get what they wanted.

About the information verification, there are private companies that work with the government in terms of things that have to do with document and private information verification. The casino always partner with such company.
But for casinos that offer simple registration, etc. There's no way they will minor users on their platform.

[lienfaye]

How do they make sure players aren’t minors?

There's no way, because minors can disguise their age so that they can register to the casino. Only KYC verification can determine if the user is old enough to gamble (though there are cases wherein minors are using their parents account just to play).

Anyway, though KYC is an advantage for casino to know their customer and to prevent money laundering. There are gamblers who are still not comfortable complying with it since they prefer to stay anonymous to keep their privacy.

[Kavelj22]

When there are random deposits or withdrawals could also stir up system check like, when the casino aren't that comfortable with the operation they could seek for additional kyc documents. Those casinos that basically say they aren't asking for kyc do some other ways request because when there are bigger winning in the gambling site they could asked for source of funds if they aren't satisfied with the account activities and operations and if they do their investigation and security check they could limits how people makes withdrawals from the site.

This confirms the idea that anonymity at a casino is completely impractical because accounts cannot be purged to comply with general regulations, even if the casino operates without a license. However, in reality, no one really cares, as the casino would have no problem leaving the door open to underage players and profiting from them as long as no other party notices their presence. Ultimately, they have the potential to confiscate all deposits.

The same applies to decentralized casinos, which require little more than creating a crypto wallet and connecting to the casino, with no possibility of setting standards, given that the casino is decentralized and fully anonymous.

Now it only takes the role of parents to supervise their children so that they do not get into gambling.

Of all the provisions this is the main reason for me to not create problems of this style, we as parents find it difficult sometimes to have control over our children, but there is something that has worked a lot for me, and that is that children from a young age should enter sports, music activities, something that keeps them well entertained, it is the only way to keep them away from those temptations, I even have a 9 year old boy and since he was 8 I put him in soccer, fortunately with his age they called him to play in the national team of my country, what does that mean? that sports and activities that are extracurricular largely keep them away from casinos and things like that.

It is a positive activity that will keep the child away from negative things.
With a good upbringing the child will become what he wants, but when the parenting style is not correct and the parents tend to ignore their growth,
the children will easily access all their curiosity with the gadgets they have and will eventually enter the world of gambling.

Supervision of children's gadgets is also very important so that there are no negative things that they access, now parents must also be smarter than children.
Extracurricular activities are positive activities for children and also make them more expressive, can channel their talents according to their desired talents.

But when they are adults and it is time to choose their life path, no one can prohibit what steps they will take, playing gambling betting and the like is already their own responsibility.

[TopTort777]

With years of being a parent and from observing other parents and their kids, I find it very important to build a respect+dominance+friendly relationship with kids. taufik123 say that it is important to monitor what kids are doing with their gadgets. I dont deny that, but with my kid, if I told once only an hour a day in mobile and only after all homework is done, it is done like that. I have cameras at home, I can check gadget activity history, youtube history and etc, and during years, my kid havent let me down even once. After school, there is a windows of 3-4h when not a single adult is at home and kid can do whatever wants. The kid never did anything what was not allowed. I have told my kid not to gamble and not to get involved in anything new where money are involved, until I check or allow it. My request is still respected.

I really hope that there are more parents, kids and families like my. So casinos should not even check for gambler not being underaged, because underaged dont gamble in regular casinos. But, games with in-game purchases must be monitored and checked. There, underaged spend money like its no tomorrow.

How do they make sure players aren’t minors?
I know that With the rise of streamlined and quick registration processes, maintaining proper age verification can be challenging. Many casinos implement additional measures, such as geolocation tracking or random ID checks, to ensure compliance with age restrictions.

Is it in their place to verify that the age anyone puts as his age is actually his authentic age? If an underage goes on to give a false information just to get access to a gambling platform, he should be ready to face whatever he sees along the way without the gambling company being held responsible for the decision that was clearly made without being forced to do so. .

Although it is not the gambling platform doing that an underage goes ahead to register and give some fake information about his age just to gain access to gamble with the casino but it's also a duty and responsibility of the casino to always at one point or another do a random KYC request like recognised ID information this will help in fishing out those that are underage but disguising by using some false data. Doing this shows that the casino is concerned and doesn't encourage underage gambling in their platform.

This is so true. Microtransaction is one hell of a drug. I remember reading a story about a kid using his parent's credit card to its limits to buy in-game currencies. Just a few days ago there was a trending story about someone breaking up because their fiance spent $600 on a gacha game while living on a tight paycheck. I think those are gambling addictions too, but sadly, app stores aren't aggressive enough to limit access to players who are younger than 18 y.o.

Imagine if they were as strict as regulating casinos. The number of people who fall into gacha addiction would probably be lower.

Exactly. Now the video can't serve as confirmation of anything at all. This is an example of how the development of neural networks has a dark side, since it is now possible to create deepfake. And that's a problem, by the way. Now it is possible to identify a person only at a personal meeting. I can imagine what will happen when people are cloned. Then, even at a meeting, it will be impossible to distinguish the clone from the original. What a sea of opportunities for fraud. Recently, it seems that fraud and drug trafficking account for half of the global economy.. Therefore, we are surrounded by much more serious problems than when several minors gamble in an online casino.

Microtransaction are bigger threat than underaged that gamble in casinos. At least those who gamble think a little about how much they spend or lose in gambling, when little kids have zero clue about job and salary, while spinning cases endlessly trying to get new hat skin or weapon skin for their character, or buying lives/moves in games. Those apps installed on tablets that require not confirmation while doing a purchase are a bigger problem. Kids dont read wall of text before buying, they just click on YES, OK and that it Against their backdrop, casinos with unverified underaged gamblers is a tiny problem.

Dude, there were a lot of stories that I've read that it did actually happened with these microtransactions. Coming from ordering online and into loading up their casino balances through their parents cards. If they are as strict as we can think of, those transactions are not going to push through but they just did. This is what they also want to happen when there are transactions like this, it's a sale for them and it's another cash in that's going to come in to their website. It doesn't only happen with those games, online carts but also in casinos based on these stories that I've seen, it's a pain to these parents that didn't noticed their kids used their cards for it.

Sometimes we try to act like everything is okay with all the apps that can magically create a digital clone of a real person, and some claim it’s just for fun and to what? Prank friends. And I ask why would someone wanna indulge in such a malicious prank? It’s already obvious that these apps were created and developed for these scammers because it’s really made it so easy for them to impersonate anyone of their choice, including any government official, celebrity, entrepreneur and several others.

[Zoomic]

I’m curious how online casinos ensure that players are actually over 18 years old. How do they verify this information? For gambling sites with a KYC process, they can easily check this detail, but what about casinos for 18 year olds that offer easy registration and withdrawals? How do they make sure players aren’t minors?
I know that With the rise of streamlined and quick registration processes, maintaining proper age verification can be challenging. Many casinos implement additional measures, such as geolocation tracking or random ID checks, to ensure compliance with age restrictions.

There is really no way to verify if this gamblers are really up to 18 or not. KYC or no KYC, a child can lie just to do what pleases him and the operators of these casinos will never find out except by chance the child discloses his real age.

This is why online casino is seen as a big threat to the younger generation. The most we can do to stop these children from engaging in gambling is by sensitising them on the dangers involved in gambling, especially for children.  Parents too have a huge role to play here by keeping watch over their children and what they do with their devices. Apart from this, no body is going to know that they gamble, just except they get caught or they disclose it themselves.

If that's your reasoning, then the real threat to younger generations isn’t the casino, but it’s irresponsible parenting. Responsible parents would ensure their kids don’t gamble, period. Gambling is strictly for adults, and that’s the simplest way to put it.

The industry already has clear warnings: minors are banned. So if a kid still manages to access gambling sites, that’s no longer the casino’s fault, it’s a failure of supervision.

[Strongkored]

Are these measures enough to prevent underage gambling [/center]

There is no measure that can completely prevent underage players from playing at the casino, because players will have many ways to violate it. Moreover, not all casinos will require KYC at the beginning of registration, usually only in certain circumstances, such as big withdrawals or if there is something suspicious about the account.
