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

Gambling was never meant for underage people and this is one of those reasons why many online casinos compulsory KYC verification, which many gamblers hate unfortunately, I wonder what this world would have turned into if there is no rules and regulations from the law, even while many are screaming that those in law are the most corrupt I still believe that not having law around will be more worse.

For whatever business you plan to run you must think about the safety of the public first, this increases the chances of you getting permission to run the business, drugs are frown upon not because it's bringing better money than anything but because of the damages it brings to the society.

It's true that gambling wasn't meant for underage people because it's a mind game that's why one can hardly predict the actual results of it. However, as a business body, you are open to a lot of customers, even though you have rules in your business, there are customers who will not do according to the rules you have. Which is why there are still students that gamble.
