I want to know if anyone here gambles or have gambled under the age of 18, I feel like there are many kids who do this and I am interested to see how many people actually gamble under 18, if you have any friends that gamble or have gambled under 18 include them.


EDIT: I mean mostly kids online, its hard to be a kid and gamble physically. I feel like the gambling rate for kids is increasing a lot and is gonna be a problem in the future, especially with the CS:GO situation.

EDIT2: Another question to ask, is what is your opinion on the topic of kids gambling, do you think it is a growing problem or a problem alone for that matter?

EDIT3: What is the best way to counter this problem without websites having to know your exact identity?
Most of this time, age under 18 always play a gambling especially in traditional gambling. It is because of adults that they always to see in a public places who gamble . And population of this still increase so it is a big problem for our society. I think the best way to counter to this  problem is the parental guidance of our parents. Instead of letting our kids playing gambling, find a new hobbies with family bonding.

Or try to keep them away on who play gambling for the security for a good future.
In some countries Despite the fact that 18 years of age this is an adult person but is still forbidden to take a more important decision in life. Proceeding from this, I would forbid young people to gamble at a fairly young age.
I don’t see how this makes sense, once you are considered and adult you can do anything you want that is lawful, you can marry, you can drink alcohol, you can drive and you can gamble if you want, at least that is the way things are in my country.
