Does anybody know what will happen if an under 18 play online casino?

Question

I just want to know because I really want to play online casino but I'm still 17 so I'm worried that something bad is gonna happen. I'm thinking stuff, like I might get caught or something.

Answer 1

Absolutely nothing.  Most online casinos don't have any sort of age check, they just want a valid credit card and they will let 5 year olds play.  Many of the young poker players that you see on TV actually have years of experience playing online starting well before they were 21.

Answer 2

Well, what usually happens with gambling is that if you do somehow pass as 18 to play, if you win a large sum of money you need to prove you are over 18.  If you can't you don't get the money and no one in your family can take it on your behalf either even if they are over 18.  They have a right to do that as you didn't obey the conditions to play.

Answer 3

I'd really just play for play money if I were you, until you turn 18.

But there really is nothing they can do to you.  Online casinos are not based in the US, and they certainly don't want to get publicity for having underage players in.  So odds are, they will just close your account if they find out.  Of course, they are not really going to check because they don't care.

Answer 4

you will probably be removed by security and they'd call your parents.

Answer 5

Well, if you really want to play online you will find the way. Please keep in mind that online casinos may require a set of verification documents when you start a withdrawal process. The set of verification documents varies from site to site. (May contain photo ID, utility bill issued to your name etc.) You may want to inquire about this in advance. Also, I would like to encourage you to check some sites about responsible gaming in advance. Here is a list for you: http://bingostreet.com/bingo-resources/r...

I think that's bad.....If you want to play like in a real, not exactly a casino type i would go on a cruise and register the program for teens lol..they have casino night......LOL

Answer 7

If they find out you will get kicked off the site. The issue is a bigger deal when it comes to cashing in or out, cuz that's where the real records are kept...around the money. As far as trouble. I've known people who got caught and got kicked off and banned from the site.

I'm not condoning this, but if you wanted to play...at least learn to play that is, have someone that you know and trust set up an account on one of the free sites (the ones that end in .net) and you can play without losing money under a shared account. However, if you win..this person would technically be the winner and the money would go to them. So there is the risk that if you win a free seat to a big tournament or something you wouldn't be allowed to play but they would.

If you do it this way, you are really limiting yourself to the potential trouble you can get in. But it is still illegal and they will still kick you off if they find out. The best thing to do would  be wait until you are old enough.

Hope that helps...Good Luck, when you finally do start to play!

Don't gamble, seriously, it's not a good thing to get into.
