I do not think any country should allow their gambling site (online) or offline to the children of their country. If they allow their child to gamble then the country is in the edge of losing the powerful asset for gambling. As they have not much knowledge and they can be affected more than an adult.
No problem with it since any good country will definitely protect the future of their potential leaders in the future. However, if the parents or guardians do not serve as role models but are showy to their kids that they are gambling, that’s when the problem arise as they will think that gambling will also be beneficial for them. Young minds need to avoid gambling as much as possible, and that any distractions like small gambling machines in the streets or malls should be get rid of.
I was going to ask what exactly should children be looking for in a mall, but I came to the realization and understood that sometimes, parents take their children to some of this malls for shopping and other fun activities..
But then, the fact here remains that children can not get up one morning and decide to go to the mall on their own, they have to be in company of their parents or loved one like an uncle or aunt or just any relative.
And if the above be the case, then It is absolutely the responsibility of the parents, loved one or relative to ensure that their children who are underaged doesn't get to play on any of those slot looking like machine, or perhaps the machine is actually a slot machine, we should protect them from getting the experience of what it's like to play games on any of those machines, for some experiences actually destroys the mind without we knowing it.
