As long online casinos and gambling sites are legal and easily accessible to everyone who owns or possesses smart devices and computers, teenagers and underages will always sort for ways and alternatives to gain access to them, regardless of the restrictions placed on those sites or their devices to stop or prevent them from participating in these activities.


Children and teenagers always have alternatives to be able to access online gambling and this is a problem that I think is difficult to solve. Teenagers can use the access of their parents or uncles or even other adults to enter online gambling that requires KYC. And another problem is that not all parents know how to use the parental control feature. Teenagers who play online gambling are teenagers who are not under the supervision and care of their parents. This makes them not know what is right and what is wrong, and then they become addicted to online gambling.
Teens should be restricted from using gambling platforms to play their bets. I could remember when we were small, we normally gambled but not to the extend of using money or going as far as online casino to play bets. Things have drastically changed these days and children now have access to the Internet which is good but they should be limited from using a casino or trying to play bets at a casino.
Sometimes the mistakes are caused by the parent. They may be want to be like their father, seeing him playing bets and being happy anytime he wins. Children might want to do the same thing that's why we need to be very careful and know how to exposed children into what they should not know about.
With the expansion of online gambling, many changes have been observed in the way of gambling. Earlier gamblers were more interested in gambling only if they had a small amount of money. Moreover, it was very difficult to withdraw money in gambling at that time, but with the change of time, a great change has been observed in the gambling users.

If a child in a family is gambling, it should be understood that the child is less cared for because the child has so much advantage that he has also gained financial independence. Gambling should never be done with minors. This increases the tendency of children to gamble more. If this trend is not controlled in time, it can lead to major disasters.
