Now, I’m a father, and my 17-year-old daughter is starting to gamble too playing slots and even doing some sports betting. I don’t know how to feel, part of me feels oddly proud of what she’s doing.
What does that make me?
For me, anyone below 18 years old can still be considered as a kid, and i'd not allow him/her to gamble. I consider it as underage gambling (illegal), and can destroy his mentality. I'd rather make him/her stay away from gambling until he will be above 18 years old, and can gamble legally, but still under control of his emotion.
I know different person, different rates of mental development. However, i don't wanna see young generation got addicted, and suffer massive financial lose even before he's worked.
