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?

I think gambling may be done for fun even by kids as I am not against it, but if parents don't keep control over their kids and give them money to gamble, then they will be responsible for the growth of addiction in their hearts about gambling. If you are not interested in letting websites know your identity, you may use websites where no verifications or account creation is needed.

For kids there are a lot of other means of entertainment and as they cannot manage their money so they do not need to come to gamble for getting entertainment. If they are interested in playing games then for them there are a lot of free games as video games on their PC and android etc They can play their games on that places.

I agree, if indeed the children are looking for something for entertainment, to entertain them, gambling is not the place for them. It is not good for children to gamble, where did they get the money to gamble? Definitely from their parents and I'm sure it's not what they want. Parents must understand better if children play other games that are free for entertainment. PS, PC, android, a lot of that can be entertainment.

I don't think that kids take part much into gambling activities. As the early days of focus will be over the gaming console usage. Very small number of kids who are technical aspirants tryto explore more about the technology and take part into these activities.

I know that, good if not many kids gamble, because gambling is not a place for them. But I say that because of the fact that there are kids who gamble. If children have fallen into the gambling world, even if they do not gamble too much, it will be hard to be granted to stop. Only their parents can ban them. And for prevention, it is better for parents to give something to their children to play the "better" rather than gambling.
