When a minor becomes addicted to gambling, it can sometimes lead to dangerous behavior. A minor boy fails to control himself. He may sometimes behave abnormally. Here it is the duty of a father to take care of his son at least till he reaches adulthood. A little delay here can sometimes lead to great danger. Which may never be recovered.
True, since minor obviously lacks awareness and can easily get hooked without thinking the possibility of destructive effect of gambling addiction. Also being carefree and immaturity also gives more possibility of gambling addiction on minors when they engage in gambling at an early age.
Gambling addiction is a personal choice.
Playing and engaging in gambling activity is indeed a personal choice but no players ever wanted to be addicted on gambling. Gambling addiction just sprout from the activity of a person. It develops without the knowledge of a player that is the reason why I think gambling addiction is not a personal choice.
