What do you think is wrong in having a 65 yr old man gamble? People that are in their 80s still gamble as the only limitation for someone to gamble is if you’re underage(mostly below the age of 18).
While I think this particular individual actions are deplorable, I see nothing wrong with a 65 yr old gambling responsibly at the casino.
People who have a problem gambling responsibly have done and probably would still do crazy things in a bid to get money. And such individuals, having accumulated a shit load of debts would cook up crazy ideas to get money and pay off their debts.

Of course there is no harm for those who are old and still gambling as long as they can gamble responsibly and I agree with what you say that the limit someone can gamble is only for those who are not more than 18 years old because for them have not been able to manage their gambling well and this will make their parents responsible for what they do, so it is important for those who have not reached the age of more than 18 years.

If someone does something crazy about gambling, of course they will continue to experience financial problems and they will of course have a lot of debt and also have difficulty paying it off because they keep hoping to get a big win that can enable them to pay off the debt they have, but it is very difficult to do so. win if you continue to gamble irresponsibly.

I guess that argument is true, continue playing irresponsibly will only lead you to lose more and in terms of financial capabilities once you lose everything you'll do something that unusual like loaning money or selling your valuable items, and if you lose again the next resort is doing something that unexpectedly, something like doing crimes or begging for money to continue your gambling activities.

Though there are responsible gambler who knows how to quit but most of the time, there are more gambler who are not, they push more even they continue losing money.

some people will be able to draw a line sooner or later and then respect their limits
but those who can't are slowly (or sometimes fast) walking in the direction of ruin
that's really sad to see, true. these people need help, nobody should take a loan to gamble and gamble more than they can afford to lose
