As a fact, gambling is for those who are financially stable and those who can play with the amount of money they can afford to lose, so I wonder how such a child can satisfy all those conditions.
You are absolutely right , therefore when we play , or have a Maturity Regarding games we Know very well that when we bet, that money is totally Willing to lose, from there there is nothing else to do, and that should Always be our Priority , just bet that money , those who are under 21, 18, are already considered of legal age in some Countries , and for me being 18, 21, 40, if there is not Enough financial education they will lose Anyway, this is not learned from one day to the next , but Ensuring that if we are Going to bet with limited money and only what can be lost , Would be going through a lot of Understanding of the game.
Age doesn’t being regulated anymore since online casino can’t verify it 100% accurate since a minor can use their parents ID or someone KYC service to verify their account as long as they have money. I watch some streamers that underage in my country yet they can play online casino through casino partnerships.
Both of you is correct that a gambler should be prepared on losses once they gamble since most of the casino games has a negative expected value on every bet. Only luck is the only thing we relying as gambler to become successful on gambling.
We can consider gambling as an expensive source of entertainment.
