Also, many countries have official gambling age but their citizens also violate this age standard.
All these abnormal ways of gambling promote gambling abuse and possible addiction which further makes gambling a societal menace.
Yes, I believe that the legal age for gambling in many nations is 18 years of age or older, and I believe that this is the case. Young individuals under the age of 18 frequently receive gambling instruction from their elders once in one of two ways: either they choose to educate them or they are constantly present when competent gamblers are. Due to the fact that many nations do not place a high priority on gambling, many young individuals violate the age restrictions for gambling. They did not regard the laws as being so serious.
Instead of outrightly banning gambling, how about if the concerned countries officially include gambling education in their academic syllabus, just like sex education is taught in schools. Gambling education will teach the young ones the dangers of gambling and promote moderation in gambling. Will this not be a better way to handle the gambling cases?
We all understand that gambling is bad because it has more negative effects than positive ones, so educating people about it is pointless. Despite this, more young people will engage in gambling-related activities if it is included in the curriculum at their schools. And once more, I doubt that many countries will even accept that due to the religions they follow. Countries are strongly opposed to gambling because of religion, and today the two most popular religions are Islam and Christianity, both of which forbid it.
There are so many things that should have been added to the school curriculum like foreign exchange or trading currencies. Educating about money seems less important for schools when in fact we are dealing with money every day in our lives but there is no proper education about it in schools.
So instead of teaching students about gambling, why not teach about money? There is more to it than casinos. I learned more about money online and in this forum but not in school as I only learned counting the money in school not its history and how money started. Once kids learns about it, they may avoid gambling.
