Minors had been flocking to the online Casino site without any restrictions. They can blatantly access gambling sites with their parents' cards, fake their identities and so on.
So the minors are smart enough to fake their online identity? Really? This seems suspicious to me.
So they use their parent's debit/credit cards to gamble? Can't their parents view the transactions on their bank accounts? Can't they reverse unauthorized credit card transactions? If your kid is using your credit card to gamble, you are a lousy parent.
This new KYC regulation won't solve the problem. The real problem is the unregulated casinos that don't require ID verification. Who is going to stop those casinos from accepting underage gamblers? Another part of the problem is the aggressive advertising of casinos and sportsbooks.
If the state would encourage to stop minors from gambling, they should not focus on the minors themselves but on the casinos that are very much aggressive on attracting players regardless if they are minors or not. The state should also provide some consequences if casinos will fail to fulfill their obligations as they should not be aiming for the minors' lives to be rekt in gambling. That way, this case will be slowly controlled.
