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.
Indeed. Everyone who is below 18 years old, they are underage to start playing gambling. Besides it breaks the legality of the minimum age for a gambler, their mentality is probably not ready to deal with the challenges in gambling. It is very worrying that there will be a problem such as addiction or excessive gambling. True, the underage mostly still gets difficulty to control their 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.
Sure, every individual may have a different level of emotion-control. Some people can become a matured person faster. However, it is still too risky to let underage to join gambling too early. The young generation is very possible to get addiction if they join gambling when they aren't ready with their mentality. Besides there will be severe financial losses, they probably spend most of the time for gambling. So, they forget their study at school.
