Some have said that gambling addiction is a mental disorder and i agree with that opinion, in some cultures gambling is part of their culture but as time goes by the younger generation is increasingly being given easy internet access, they can even open a gambling account without having to go online require to carry out KYC. Even though there are pros and cons of KYC, to prevent underage gamblers it must be implemented, apart from that the government can also monitor underage gamblers, they have more authority to deal with it than us
(ordinary people)Even though KYC has been carried out, it doesn't stop the younger generation from getting closer to gambling. This can be seen from the many young people who can access the internet easily so that the young generation may gamble. With the popularity of online gambling, the younger generation can find it online and start gambling. If the younger generation cannot filter all the information well, they will only get involved in gambling and become gamblers. Initially, this young generation may find a place to play and an opportunity to earn money, but gradually, they become gambling addicts. This makes many young people able to gamble easily with the help of the internet and their devices. Those who are already addicted to gambling will experience long-term mental disorders.
We are headed that way, online casinos is way more accessible than the physical casino which requires ID verification if you look a minor to them where online casinos will require KYC when you withdraw from the casino. The internet has so many advantages but disadvantages as well including the access of casino sites to minors or at young age people that can cause hazards like addiction. The evolution of the internet had given everybody an access to the internet, there are things that youth shouldn't do in the internet like browsing on porn sites but we all know that majority of the youth population knows the sites and accessed them at least once. The thing that elderly should do is to discourage them in doing gambling and tell them all of the bad things that can happen to them.
