It is quite surprising that a country has set such a low age restriction when it comes to gambling since in many countries you cannot gamble until you are legally an adult, personally I think age restrictions are a good idea, I like gambling and I do it from time to time but we need to be very responsible about it and a kid does not have enough maturity to know that what he is doing may have a negative effect on himself and his future if he does not control himself.
Its just right to have those low age restriction yet we know on how accessible we are when it comes to gambling specially now on a high tech era which we can easily visit out those sites
even on young age as long we are already aware on its existence.Its just right even on low age and its true that young minds shouldnt really be get involved into these things
on early yet there are lots of things that should be think or prioritize first when you are still growing rather than engaging to these.
Now it is almost impossible to avoid that kids get access to those sites if they want because even if you were to install a parental control software on their computers and smart phones they can still get access through the many devices that they are in contact and that do not have that protection, so it seems the best thing we can do is to warn them about the dangers of gambling at such an early age and hope they listen to you and do not gamble until they are old enough to understand what they are doing.
