There's my point.
If persons are allowed, by law, to play the National Lottery and buy scratch cards at the age of 16 - why are they unable to place a bet on a horse or any other sport? Is this the government with their crazy schemes? Have Camelot paid-off the government or something?
Anyway, your views.
P.S - Won £5 on my first scratch card ever yesterday

People should be able to gamble fully at the age of 16.

I think in casinos it should stay the same because if it were to change then laws about drinking alcohol and crap would have to change and it'd be too much of a hassle to make sure that people are the proper age.
Horse betting I don't really care about and I've never really heard of any 16 year olds that even care about that..
I think that to keep up with 'morals' ages should stay the same because then for the sake of parents and what not they could rest easily thinking that their kids aren't going out and betting in bars on boxing fights and such.
Put simply; It's fine how it is.

No, because they'll end up gambleing money they don't have or they'll use their parents credit cards on online casinos and get their family in major debt
I’ll be a story in your head, but that’s okay, because we’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I always meant to take it back. Oh, that box, Amy, you’ll dream about that box. It’ll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand-new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would had…Never had. In your dreams, they’ll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond and the days that never came.

They could do that anyway.. Just use parents details, and if they won, the money'd go to the parents so there's no point. Originally Posted by Dan2nd

Its different in Canada, you have to be 21 to buy a scratchcard or do any gambling. Well, thats where I am come from.

I do enjoy a bit of gambling (although I haven't experienced it fully). If the age was reduced to 16, I believe that some people wouldn't be sensible as many people don't appreciate the value of money at 16.

They'll just get addicted and end up in council flats at the end. No point really.

Personally, I think that'd be a bad idea, for myself anyway..
Im too much of a risk taker.
And would most likely gamble all my money away, like straight away.
