That is because gambling is forbidden for minors, if we allowed minors to gamble I am sure the majority of the addicts will be minors, which is the reason behind governments that allow gambling for adults forbid it when it comes to children and young people, still despite their age people need to do some introspection and be honest with themselves, if their personality is impulsive by nature then gambling is probably not something they should ever do, as a single moment of weakness can lead them to the path of addiction.
In many countries the gambling was illegal,in the legalised countries also start a gambling access to the children is not the good thing.Some minor using their senior id card for the proof,So this was the reason of the minor easy access to the gambling easily.The government should do the periodic monitor of the children involvement.If the gambling site,had a capacity to monitor using the from camera of the mobile phone.The gambler will ban the account of the gambling used by the new application.This can be eliminate the kids involvement in the gambling by using the application attached with the gambling site.
Allowing ourselves to be monitored even further does no seem like the right solution, governments and private companies are already monitoring everything we do, if we gave them that kind of access then it will be impossible to regain any kind of privacy in our lives, the right approach is for parents to get closer to their children and teach to them why it is a bad idea that they gamble, now there are some unruly kids that will decide to not listen and gamble, but those are the kids that would have begun to gamble at some point anyway and nothing can be done for them.
To begin with, proper education and good communication between parents and their children will be a big help for young age kids to be involved in this activity. Gambling should be taken away from those young minds.
If you can guide your kids with proper information about what gambling can ruin their lives, they might be aware and start to forget about it.
I see your point and that's valid. There are some kids who will choose not to listen, but it doesn't mean that the majority will do that,
if you have good connections with your kids, your guidance will serve as their basis to move forward.
