This thread reminds me of the argument I was having a few days ago. When we talk about minors not being allowed to gamble, it's a general rule everywhere, not just in some countries, so if a child who is below 18 years has been gambling without the knowledge of the parent and he or she happensto win an amount which requires advanced KYC to be passed, if the child uses his real ID card, it will be noticed that he's not yet of age.
As a parent to the child, can you allow the child to use your details to pass KYC verification, if asked? And if you do that, does it also mean that you are supporting underage gambling?
No, I won't consent to my child using my personal information so that he can gamble. It is not the work of a responsible parent. A responsible parent makes their kids follow the law, since minors are not allowed to engage in gambling activities, I should also support the government in implementing such a regulation. So I do not support underage gambling because it is against the law. If the government allow minors to engage in gambling then I would also do so.
