They don't ensure but its the honesty of the users that they trust. If they say they are above 18 when they register then that's it. But if they find out a user is actually below 18 then that user just violated their TOS.How can the gambling site knows that any of their user is below 18 years of age? They can not know unless they verify the user. They can not know if they do not make KYC compulsory for all users.
But before they are going to check to find out whether a user has violated their terms, this user has to win big first and will try to withdraw and that's when the casino ask for KYC.
Usually, there is a pop-up at the time of registration, and that's it. No casino, especially an online casino could be 100% sure about filtering minors. Even with KYC, how do you know they are not using their parent's information? but KYC helps a lot in reducing those numbers. The same question applies to social media platforms as well. IMHO it is social responsibilty not of a single institution.I agree with you, that those underage teenagers can use their parents document to KYC, because you don't do any facial verification when registering. It's just that casino with KYC also use to for withdrawal and to know if they are gambling from a restricted region.
Are these measures enough to prevent underage gambling ::)[/center]Some casinos usually do not care if you are underage. They demand your age because the government requires them to do so mostly, so they will not go the extra mile to try to make sure that everyone gambling on their platform is of the correct age. The time they may show some concern is if you win a big amount of money, and maybe they are searching for a way not to pay you.
without kyc there is not much that a casino can do to be honest the best they can do is to trust that the players are responsible enough to not violate their rules and conditions(https://i.ibb.co/r2y4zcDP/Screenshot-2025-03-19-at-16-10-48.png)
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.

if any underage is proven to be gambling, they will face serious consequences and they would hope that the risk of these consequences is enough to discourage and keep the children away from even attempting to play and as per preventing underage gambling, it should start with education in my opinion
I think it is best if a gambler accepts the terms and conditions well from the beginning and then decides to bet on that site. Because if a gambler cannot withdraw his money after a win, then it is definitely a big loss for him. Because it is not possible to easily win big in gambling. But if you have good luck, it is possible. So if you do not want to miss a big win, it is definitely better to bet within the rules.

It’s advisable for us to accept all conditions when approving something with a view of avoiding future issues. If these rules are understood from the beginning, the living of everything becomes more comfortable and such things are avoided. It means that nothing is insured a hundred percent but the chance of achieving something remains alive. It is good if luck comes, still we can turn it into profit, and if luck do not come, we do not have any problem as we can proceed without burden. Therefore the right step is now to adhere to the policies that have been made from the onset to ensure what has been achieved right is preserved.I think it is best if a gambler accepts the terms and conditions well from the beginning and then decides to bet on that site.

Yes, usually gambling platforms do not give any importance to such issues. But what is said is that if there is a possibility of getting a big win, then even those small mistakes can become big. This is not the fault of the casino company, but it is the fault of those who know and accept such a situation. That is why gambling should be done with caution in advance. Otherwise, even trivial matters can create big problems.Are these measures enough to prevent underage gambling ::)[/center]Some casinos usually do not care if you are underage.

A policy where KYC is a mandatory thing.You made me recall a "no KYC casino" where one of its ToS is that users have to undergo KYC if they bet past a certain limit. I think it got changed a few times and the owner assured users that for low-volume withdrawal or betting they won't force any KYC, unless absolutely necessary (for things like multi-account abuse, et). It sounds nice at first glance but users have no control and can't verify whether the accusation is justifiable or just a way for them to withhold withdrawal.
Casino's can never be able to filter or detect under age registered members hence their requirements includes KYC so as to be on the safe side if there is any issues along the lines. We know very well that the government frowns at such and the casino too would take measures to protect their interest when issues of such nature emanates.

They can't, the only way to do it is thru verification, like KYC. And they will ask for everything just to verify that the other person is not below the age requirement. So it's really very hard for casinos, it's not that they are not doing their job, but maybe there will be instances that some underage can still play and pass. Casino will really need to do everything to check every gamblers, even if they say that they are above 18 years old. Monitoring is one, they can used even AI to detect specially those who want to bypass verification.
We are still on the same page; we know the government frowns at underage gambling, and the casinos know this and would do anything possible to fish out the underage gamblers from their platform so they do not have issues with the government. At first, they put it out there for gamblers to see the government's age limit for gambling, which is the first and the second is the kyc to make sure they are on the safe side of it all.Without mandatory KYC, the underage gambling rule is just a rule on paper, or in other words they do it to avoid problems with the government as you said.
But when they change their internal rules by implementing KYC rules, then it becomes something that will allow underage children to not be able to play.i do not think that there are a lot of casinos that easily change their rules regarding kyc because it will be quite complicated and even that is an understatement
But that also does not guarantee it actually, because we don't know the child's efforts to continue gambling.that is true especially kids nowadays are the ones who are the most tech savvy and they know so much methods to trick so many websites
I think it can be done, as long as they don't change it right away. They can give a certain amount of time after they take the rule.But when they change their internal rules by implementing KYC rules, then it becomes something that will allow underage children to not be able to play.i do not think that there are a lot of casinos that easily change their rules regarding kyc because it will be quite complicated and even that is an understatement
if they did not have kyc before, their clients who used their services benefitting from the non kyc rules would now be forced to do kyc which would not be appreciated

They can give a certain amount of time after they take the rule.Yes, in fact there is something that can be implemented in casinos without causing so much fuss, since everyone now Demands and it is mandatory to have KYC, because every time you are going to make a large Withdrawal, instead of Postponing it and making you have a bad time playing, what you should do is a small KYC as is done in some exchanges, including Binance , and that will not take more than 5 minutes to do and once that is verified then you can withdraw , which is what causes the most problems.
I think recently there have been many casinos that have implemented it, for example I mentioned stake which changed their rules at the beginning of this year by requiring it, after previously without KYC users could still make deposits, play and withdraw. However, they also don't just implement it, but they routinely provide information about KYC every day.
