How can casinos for 18 year olds ensure that players truly respect the min age?

[DragonSlots]

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.

Are these measures enough to prevent underage gambling

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.

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.

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.

This is one of the reasons you will see non-KYC gambling sites start to get their customers verified if they have become big gambling site to avoid regulatory issues.

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.

Even online casinos that do not ask for KYC upfront knew they can't catch every user that violates the age rule. Strict implementation could hamper the growth of their user base that's why they have to come to a compromise. The verification is usually done if they suspect something is fishy with the user activities or if he/she withdraws a substantial amount.

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

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

kids today already have phone where they can install casino apps that don't ask KYC which is why gambling is very common to teens. there are still casino today that don't as for kyc. the new casinos trying to promote themselves sometimes are not asking just so they can get more people on board to their casino. they are purposely not asking kyc.

if they are truly going to verify ages, they would kyc all users right after registration.

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.

No, it's never enough to be sure that whether the person is 18+ or not and that's what the internet is about because almost anything can be faked. But there's limitations to everything so casinos stick with their usual guidelines like ID verification but when someone decided to fake it then they have to face the consequences of it which includes losing the deposit, wins and any balance left with no questions asked.

I think same with the crypto exchanges most of them require KYC for the assurance that they are in accordance with the regulation though I am not that sure if there really are penalized for this but I know they are playing safe as well but there are some that don't do like this that is why minors still manage to get in.

[SmartGold01]

For the casinos that are kyc free often ask kyc when there are big win or something they don't expect such as usual withdrawals and deposit and if they suspect any of these activities they easily restrict such account and asked for additional verification process to prove ownership. Yes, most casinos do find it difficulties to catch up with the underage gamblers because they don't request for kyc.

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.
