Age limit to play National Lottery to increase to 18

[Sotherefore]

The government placed sanctions on individuals who are below the age of 18 to play lottery or gamble. If anyone allows under age in his bet shop, he will be held responsible.

But even with this don't you think some of them are even doing it secretly, even after the government has made rules and regulation against illegal age from engaging in lottery , a lot of them will still engage in it after all the government has not made adequate preparation for this law to be active.

 

[Grandeur]

I think the age limit being put on may of these platforms is just to make regulatory bodies know but deep down no one is enforcing it, we see young children in bet houses everyday even in school hours!

 

[Syldan]

I think that is a better ways of protecting our younger generation from being corrupt. Most times when you are below 18, you are responsible to your parent control but exceeding, you are on your own to protect yourself.

National lottery is not a corrupt practices but sometimes if children are addicted to it at such Early stage , it could be a serious addiction that will be very much difficult for them to stop in their lives.

 

[Syldan]

Actually it can be considered as a corrupt practice whe the under age are not prevented or prohibited from such. the learned while they are still young and continue with it at aild age.

It is not just about setting an age limit if there is no proper implementation of this The Young ones will still find a way of getting involved in betting and other forms of lottery activities.

In my country the age limit as been 18 years right from time. If you are below age 18, you are not eligible to enter into a lottery shop to play. You will have to play when you are above the stipulated age.

 

[glitch]

It has been 18 in the US for as long as I could remember. Where is this for? I would imagine it is somewhere like the UK where the age was 16 for gambling and drinking for sometime now.

 

[Lens]

The age limit to play lottery in my country as always been 18+ and that is why it is not legally right for someone below this age to go play lottery. The police would arrest the owner of a shop if it happens.

This is something that really comes as a welcome development to me. Believe that the government should be doing much in order to protect people from occasions like this as anybody who is lower than that cannot make sustainable decisions for themselves.

Yea, its better that way. Lottery is like a gambling and people must be up to the age of 18 before making their own personal decision if they are to engage in it or not. I love it.

 

[Chibson]

In my country the minimum age for involving in any kind of gambling has been 18 years for ages. If you are not up to that you are not permitted to involve yourself in any kind of gambling because it is very addictive and at the age of 18 you can be able to make your life's choices.

 

[lottowinningsignal]

It has always been 18 in my country and the age limit has always been like that for a very long time and if you are found in a lottery shop and the lawmakers discovered that you are below age 18, the shop owner will be severely punished because it is a punishable offence under the law. However there are some lottery keys that you could use to win lotto and it is very effective.

This will depend on the ccountry which you are operating from in my country anyone can play lottery those lottery vendours are even looking for people to collect money for their daily bread.

That is one thing. They are not keeping to the rules and regulation of the government. Even if government have to make it for 18 year old and above , those vendors will still allow people below that age to play

 

[Chibson]

In my country it is of age is the standard age for you to partake in any kind of gambling. Whether it is lottery, casino or Sports betting. If you are below the age and you partake in such you may be punished.

There are no lotteries i my home country, our government considers lotteries to be gambling and gambling is strictly prohibited. However, I believe that in countries where a lottery is legal, there should be the minimum age to participate in lotteries. We should not allow young people to lose money by playing lotteries.

Does your country ban it for religious reasons? I have seen that in Muslim countries it is forbidden for this issue, in my country gambling is legal, and therefore the government also has its lotteries and the minimum age to participate in them is 18 years of age, which is understandable and correct.

Seriously, I have a big indifference when it comes to living in any of Muslim countries that I have friends and relatives staying. There are so many things that goes against their rules I can't deal with. I don't even have any problems with gambling and betting but when I can't drink my alcoholic beverages there, I won't love living there.

Yes, they have many rules, but I think that the people who live in these countries are used to it, I have nothing against gambling either, and I don't think that prohibiting it is the solution, because that will only lead to more crimes related to gambling activities

I believe that regulating the industry appropriately is the most correct thing to minimize gambling and keep it under control.
