I think in this digital era it is very difficult to control the activities of teenagers, because just by having a smart phone and having an internet network, they can do whatever they want. Because anyway, even though the government banned gambling, the reality is that many influencers promote gambling themselves. Sure, many influencers have  been  arrested for promoting gambling, but the reality is that gambling itself has been publicized so underage children will still be able to access it. So yes, any rules to limit the age of gambling, I think it is never effective, because the reality is that the gambling industry itself  also continues to increase.
Age restrictions work relatively well when it comes to physical casinos, since they have personal on the ground checking people out and if a person that looks to young to be on their establishment appears they will immediately ask for an identification, but online this is very different, we know that most casinos do not ask for anything related to your identity until you attempt to make a withdrawal, so a teenager can gamble and lose everything and no online casino will do anything to stop him.
It needs to educate the influencers so they will not promote gambling to public and there are a strict rule for them about promoting something. If the government can cooperate with the influencer and gives education to their citizens about the risks of playing gambling, maybe that can works and the citizens will not trying to playing gambling.
And for physical casino, they must strictly limit people and will not allow teenager to enter to the casino although that can not be apply to the online casino but the online casino can use the other methods to prevents teenager to playing gambling.
How you would be doing that? Come to think that these influences are paid to do streams about a particular service or product or anything on which as long they've been getting paid then they will really be not
minding whether the things they are streaming could do some potential harm or not. They do really just mind on getting paid and dont care about other people. This is why you cant blame them totally since they are really jus that doing their job and this is really just that a basic stuff. It is really that important on personal approach that whatever the things that you do see online then you should really know on how to control yourself.
Doing or testing out gambling isnt really that bad as long you do it in moderation and this is something that really needs up to consider when dealing up with gambling.

Teenagers are really that highly curious when it comes to things that they havent encountered ever since then it would really be coming up into their minds that they will really be testing it out and
find out whether it does give out that good feeling or not. On the moment that you get hooked and lose up control then this is where problems do start to build up.
Some do able to realize midway and some do able to get themselves hooked up and being addicted in the end of line.
