I talked about university students because they can be away from their family living alone. If their friends corrupt them it is when they could be introduced to gambling. You talked about minors who do not understand they are doing something illegal because of their age. If they gamble at a young age they could be addicted when they become adults.
If gambling is something the students do for leisure it is going to become normal. There is a difference in gambling with students in a card game for fun and going to a casino or internet casino to gamble. They can gamble like it is a normal thing to do but when they are students it is not normal, they should pay attention to studies and dream about a beautiful future.
I agree with you, gambling activities are always very dangerous for students, those minors think that gambling for fun or to pass the time is not harmful, but this habit can gradually lead to big problems. Usually at this age they can easily get deeply addicted to gambling, student life is a time of study, a time to build the foundation of the future, but at this time if they involve themselves in this terrible activity, their future will be ruined. If they focus on their studies, they will be able to build a beautiful future, but gambling can only spoil their focus and lead them disaster.
