I’ve never seen any evidence of it, and have never heard of anyone presenting any evidence of it.
1) I haven’t bought into anything. but it’s a often touted statement that you have to combat.
The best way to do this is to show secure financial controls.
2) Where do you look for evidence?
In my experience at poker rooms based on the skills, temperment, and “chat” of many poker players I’d say that many of them would be under 20 – and some appear to be a lot younger than that.
Take a look at the chat sections at places like Hollywood poker – CAnbet poker (etc) and many would still appear to be gonig to high school given the inane level of conversation.
Of course they may all be freerollers – in which case they’re not gambling for money.
:hehe:
Casino gambling is less social – no I have no anecdotal evidence there.
Sports gambling does have plenty of forums (mine is one) and again I am aware of several “younger” players who would not yet appear to be actually working for a living yet – and would probably be “underage”.
