Re: Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

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.

You have a point but I don't think that gambling companies take students to be their main target, they are just running a business and they are not responsible for anyone's personal gambling activities. People who gets addicted to it are not being compelled of forced, it's a personal decision. The only way to make sure that students don't get tempted to gamble is if they avoid setting up centers close to school environments

Indeed, there's no specific age as like you mentioned it's a business and whoever that participate are the clients that they'll going to cater, though the chance that students in their young mind can deeply engage and get addicted, they might bring more money to the house and casino will love to keep them to stay, as that's how business works, it's always on the person to rect carefully and properly to avoid messing up.
