Remedy of underaged gambling is to reduce age when they are allowed to gamble. But dont that blindly, but only after parents give them explanation. Kids are allowed to work from 18, but with parents allowance, from 14 and only several hours. Kids should be allowed to gamble, if parents explained what gambling is, kids use their own money, kids dont gamble to earn, parent monitor their gambling activity. If everything is under control, why gambling can be dangerous? At 16 years old, a kid already isnt stupid and naive little baby. At such age he can already driver a car. At such age, some already became parents. At such age, they can not get into big financial troubles, as nobody would lend them big money, they dont have property to lose, they dont have money at all. Imho better they learn bitter lesson at 16 and lose their 100 bucks they got for Christmas, than have a full sip of problems when they are 30 and have thousands in debt.
Precisely with this kind of thinking, in the end there will be more and more children in adolescence who experience addiction that cannot be avoided.
If such a policy is built then I will be the one who opposes this policy considering that in the end making a reduction in the legal gambling limit just because you want to reduce young children and teenagers from gambling is not a wise decision because we only reduce children who gamble before the legal age but do not stop their gambling activities.
This is tantamount to us further entrapping young children who do not yet have a broad view of how adults live. I would rather see the supervision of children tightened up a bit more than changing the legal limit on children gambling.
