I don't think there should be any age limit for gambling. Once you can control your emotion and be disciplined with your gambling life, then you are good to go. An old person may need to be careful about gambling because of their health condition. This is because if they fail to be disciplined and their gambling life becomes an addict. It may post risk to their health conditions especially for those that are hypertensive.
It's true, seniors are more likely to get various health problems if they don't avoid gambling. The elderly should no longer gamble and they should enjoy their old age with their family and that is a good choice to have a pleasant quality of life. The problem is, there are some elderly people who want to spend their time gambling, some of them even have to be accompanied by a personal guard.
I haven't found any elderly people gambling in my area, but maybe there are in other places. We actually don't know how many elderly gamblers are involved in online gambling, but it certainly exists and the number is unknown. When someone is 60 years old, they should avoid gambling and that is a good choice in my opinion.
There are some old age gamblers around but may be you r lucky not seen them. Most of them even gamble in a more special way than youth. Looking at it heath consequences, one may conclude that age people shouldn't gamble but some of this age people have stronger mind even than some youth.
