Do you think minors should be able to gamble at all?

Question

Do you think a 16 or 17 year old should be allowed to buy a scratch off ticket? How about a bigger lottery ticket? And casinos? Or is 18 the proper age for them to be able to start purchasing these things.

Answer

No I think 18 is the legal age to buy scratch offs and 21 to go into the casinos .. if ones younger wanna experience it they can download casino games

Answer

Um no. Gambling is addicting, just like cigarettes and alcohol, and is reserved for adults who are allowed to make their own life decisions for that reason.

Answer

No. Teenagers are not mature enough to go out and gamble their money, more like their parents money away. It’s a dangerous addiction. Young teens would just get sucked right in. 
Also, buying lottery ticket and going to a casino are just two different things. Casinos should remain at 21.

Answer

Nope. 21 is a good age for casinos, honestly I’m ok raising it to 25 even. Lotto tickets I’m on the fence about. I think 18 should still be the bare minimum for them, but wouldn’t be upset if it was raised.

Answer

No but my mom has been giving me scratch offs for my birthday/in Christmas stockings since I was like 4 years old 😂

Answer

I think we should be able to buy lottery tickets. But I still say no to the casino, people my age are too impulsive for that.

Answer

Hell no.

Answer

Gambling and cigarettes should been seen and treated the same way!! they are both equally dangerous, addictive, and destroy lives!!

Answer

Scratch cards are 16 and I agree with that and I think lottery should be lowered to sixteen too. Slot machines I agree with being at 18. Casinos however should be 21 at least. That’s a load of money you can lose. There’s a difference between being able to spend £2 on a scratch card or the lotto and then going and losing thousands at a casino

Answer

I don’t think 18 is unreasonable for gambling. There is no reason to allow younger in my opinion
