What this underlines is the need for better protections on player verification and payment methods – and with that in place then the spectre of underage gambling can be reduced or even eliminated.
Sounds to me like you’ve bought into some idea that an underage gambling problem exists. What makes you think this?
I’ve never seen any evidence of it, and have never heard of anyone presenting any evidence of it. Much like terrorists using gambling…
I’m not saying there aren’t some underage kids gambling… I’m sure there are plenty who bet with friends or underage bookies, but I bet there are not many that do it online. Besides… if you make your own money use your own credit card and spend your own money, I might be inclined to call you an adult.
Underage gambling is a made up problem, IMO. It’s hard to fix a made up problem. You won’t saitisfy the people making them up.
