What is your say in this critical issue against gambling companies?

If a gambling company is proven to be targeting student players, it must be dealt with.
There are standard rules that gambling companies must abide by, one of which is the age of +18.
If the company has implemented all the rules including +18 but the users who register to play do not prevent it, I think that's the problem.

I think there are still many student players who are not +18 who play without the knowledge of their parents. If the casino enforces KYC, it can be avoided because they don't hold an identity card yet.

Yeah, that's correct. The KYC needs to be strict about this because there are so many underage individuals now that are slipping through this rule by using fake IDs or their older friend's identification.
Then, there are online casinos now that don't require KYC unless you win a big amount, where they will need the details before a gambler can withdraw the funds. I managed to play in one of our local online casinos without KYC for a month, and I was just withdrawing small amounts. If that can happen, I am sure many kids are playing in the same online casino because they can get away from KYC rules.
