Gambling discussion / Re: Suitable for persons 18 plus to gamble
« on: Today at 02:51:23 PM »Yeah aside from the legal age where maturity might be an important role they also know things like making decisions especially what is right and wrong. But still here in my country age is just a number because minors can still gamble discreetly either online or offline.Already 18 years according to some jurisdictions is the legal age to gamble. At that age, an individual is seen as an adult who can make decisions on his own and face the consequences.
I agree with you because at 18 years an individual has gained self awareness which makes him mentally and emotionally conscious of what happens in his life. The importance of this age accounts for the reason most countries only allow an individual who is 18 years and above to gain entrance into the university.
On a second thought, any action done by a person of 18years cannot be blamed on a third party because such an individual can decipher what is best for him.
Then it's not longer the problem of the bookmakers because there's no way they're going to verify that you lied while you were signing up on their platform although it quite impossible now with the new regulations that demands every new users compulsory passing of Tie1 KYC before deposits to avoid underage users on their platform.
It's also the responsibility of the a betting shop to not allowed an underage persons in the gambling hall. Parents also have a key role to play in all this.
