The age limit placed on people below 18 year to keep them away frim gambling have not been most effective as we have hard records of under age gambling in many place and this is a pointer that casino has indeed misolaced their primary responsibility which is to prevent that from happening and that is why there is need for KYC.
Casinos have provided regulations by not allowing underage children to gamble. And even though casinos have implemented KYC for their members, that can't stop minors from registering and gambling. They can do KYC using the identity of adults around them, which helps them gamble. Perhaps, this can be reduced if each parent pays more attention to supervising their children using devices connected to the internet so that their children do not visit casinos.This is really a matter of discipline and communication inside the household.
If the parents are hands on on their child and provides all the basic necessities, educates their child about the consequences of doing impulsive, illegal, and risky decisions in life, then there's a small chance that these kids will be inside a casino establishment or website given that the values, principles, and the upbringing they were exposed into has a positive and strong foundation about doing good things, obedience, and not being involved in things that will not be beneficial and is prohibited to them.
It all really boils down the measures the parents do for their child not to be lost and to the child himself, the willingness of following his parents as his role model, not giving into the curiosity and peer pressure, if there is any.
Well, what if the parents are not a responsible gambler but still they wish that their children do not gamble or gamble responsibly
Don't know why they expect too much from the children when they were not much disciplined in their younger age. I think parents can only tell their kids what is right or wrong, but they can't force it.
Due to online and anonymous gambling, kids can still gamble without telling their parents. That's why if parents think that they can be strict and they can restrict their children from gambling by force, then they are wrong.
most of the time what has happened is that parents have children accidentally and because of that these same parents do not take good care of their children, they are parents who also want to go to parties and come back the next day, they are parents who are drinking during the day and soon they don't have time to take care of the children so they think in their minds that giving them a computer, tablet, smartphones will solve the problem because with that the children will spend a lot of time with these electronic devices and not bother the parents, but that's all a serious problem, and that these children spend much more time on the computer, on the cell phone
inside the room with the door closed and they isolate themselves from society and develop psychological problems and gambling, alcoholic beverages and other things can easily become addictive for children with these traumas and the saddest part is that the father and mother take years to realize that their child has a problem and needs a lot of psychological help and that the culprits for the child's mental health problem are the father and mother, the parents get divorced and the problem gets worse, there are few people who are lucky to have a father and mother married for years and until death do them part
