Suitable for persons 18 plus to gamble

[Igebotz]

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.

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.

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.

I think 18 plus persons are suitable for gambling, because boys and girls under 18 will be studying at that time. If gambling is indulged in at that time, it is certainly fatal to the society, and a threat to the family. Because a gambler can never do anything good, he will always be addicted to winning, and he can do various evil things to earn this money by gambling.

They say it's suitable for those that are up to 18 to gamble but I think it's not because even though they are grown up they are not mature mentally to be gambling, at that age they may be exposed to lot of things as a result of gambling and not being able to withstand those pressures due to how young they are and not having the mental maturity to face those challenges it will definitely do more harm than good, this is just my opinion on this, not everyone would agree to it

It is actually difficult to determine such a thing, but now it has become commonplace when someone who is 18+ means they are adults. Although in reality there are often differences, it can be said that it has become a "culture" in our society.

However, the problem is not whether they are adults or not in my opinion, but it is more focused on whether they will be able to be responsible or not, because as far as I see it is the root of the problem of someone becoming addicted to gambling.

That's right, what's more, they don't have a steady income yet. In my opinion, the level of maturity of a person who is allowed to gamble is when they already have their own income and can control their emotions if they suffer a big loss.

I believe that setting legal gambling age on 18 is reasonable decision. Young generation like under 18 should be focused on their education and own development other than risking their future on gambling. Allowing minors to gamble not only make bad impression to society and families but also sets dangerous precedent for addictive behavior. It is good to protect our youth from this harm that can come from gambling addiction.

It's quite disheartening that this rule isn't strictly adhered to anymore, if you walk into betting shops you will find teenagers below the age of 18 gambling, this is very wrong because it can ruin their life. At such a tender age they should be focused on their books and other things that would keep them in check instead of gambling, this is wrong on all levels

A young boy or girl who gambles at the age of 18 can define what they want and how they can get it. Someone who's truly 18 years old can live and be able to provide for themselves to some extent, depending on the country.

Why the age of 18 and above is placed on gambling because one has learned how to take responsibility for their actions. They must have learn how to survive on their own that whatever they do, there's a repercussions for it.

I think both adults and minors can be addicted to gambling. But the main thing is to get rid of that addiction. It's not like there are 18+ who aren't likely to get addicted to it. Recovery from addiction is important for adulthood. A minor can also do this but not all are likely to be the same. But to facilitate the understanding of the gambler, an age criterion must be kept.

definitely but minors being addicted to gambling is far more dangerous because they do not have their own money yet and the money they are spending come from their parents who most likely have no idea with what they are doing

Recovery from addiction is important for adulthood. A minor can also do this but not all are likely to be the same. But to facilitate the understanding of the gambler, an age criterion must be kept.

adults have a more mature perspective in life and can therefore acknowledge their addictions and do something about it compared to children who have yet to gain knowledge and experience from life they might not even recognize their addictions and not care about the consequences of such addictions
