It is not wise to promote gaming to peers under 21.
Am I missing something in US law?
Or is it something else?
Well for one thing most college students don’t have much money and so you will be receiving small commissions. I don’t know anything about the underage laws in the US but I think some states it’s illegal to gamble if your under 21, and some it’s legal if your over 18?
Right.
In most countries including Canada it’s legal to do whatever you want once you turn 18. In fact the USA is the only country where you cant gamble until you’re 21, something I find pretty ridiculous. I would try emaining different affiliate managers, try emailing someone that operates a cryptologic casino and someone that runs a microgaming casino.
I know I could gamble from here online when I turned 18, but I’m unsure if the casinos base that decision on your geographical region. It’s kind of odd how someone can go out and get killed in a war as soon as they turn 18 but they cant play a hand of blackjack.

Actually in the US you can gamble when 18 at Indian casinos. At least around here..
I didn’t know that about Indian casinos, I know in Las Vegas you cant. It’s funny I was promoting online casinos for 2 years when I went there for the first time and wasn’t old enough to gamble.
Most places in the US are 18, and only the ones with alcohol seem to be 21, the drinks seem to be the deciding factor, as you can have two acouple miles away in the same county, but one is 18 and one is 21. At least that is the situation in Phoenix.
and my experience in the midwest.
College students actually have the most disposable income of any age bracket, so they are good customers. I’m not looking for high rollers. I’m marketing my site on the ground in dorms, frats, and campuses at over 40 colleges in the US.
I need to accommodate people over 18, and CON does. but I wish they would hurry up on the support side, anyone got any advice there? I’m just tying to create more “sites” or links, and they are having a 4-5day turn around at best… with the occasional 12hour response… The business model I have is really helped by banking on initial excitement from my sales reps.
any ideas?
