Because nowadays the younger ones take gambling more seriously then school. Yesterday i got back home early so I decided to step out and go to a betting shop to catch some fun while gambling, I saw two teenagers gambling with their school uniforms on them.
It is wrong grant gambling access to kids below the age limit set by the gambling companies in agreement with the government. These age limit was chosen to ensure that they gambler is fully away if the risk involved and also be able to take clear decisions not influenced by ignorance. I know that it will be completely difficult to enforce this age limitation given that children now have access to the internet at a very young age and through non-KYC crypto casinos, children can easily gamble without restrictions. If government and the gambling companies can spend more funds in creating awareness among the younger generation on the need to focus on other things and not gambling at their age, it will help a lot. Such campaigns are the only feasible way I feel will help.
