Gambling has become a perplexing situation in society this is even more worrisome when one considers the negative reactions of people when they lose. These reactions take the form of committing suicide, transferring aggression to people around, and even destroying items.
When one considers these issues and the implications of gambling in society it becomes glaring why gambling restriction on children is important. Children here implies minors who are below 18 years of age. This restriction connotes that it is illegal for a minor to gamble and this restriction should be appreciated by all and sundry.
Reasons will suffice here: first, children are not yet mentally developed enough to accommodate the pains that come with gambling; furthermore, a child doesn't have financial stability yet or any source of income thus, a dependant which means if a child ever gambles he is using his parents or guardians money or sometimes using money that was given for a purpose to gamble; also, any addiction developed during childhood is very difficult to control so it becomes bad for a child to be introduced to gambling early in life, lastly, gambling by a child can make the child involve in behaviors that will be disturbing to society like stealing, alcoholism and drug.
Summarilly, since the child is already restricted from gambling by State policies, it will be imperative if the old (70-above) can be restricted since they are easily prone to heart attacks, and at that age gambling can easily trigger shock and that becomes a danger to their health.
