Futher motivation to permanently stop supporting these evil people, that allow children to gamble with them, despite it being both illegal and immoral.

Was appalled to find this proof of what I already suspected.

At least half a million children gamble and last year 22% were NOT asked for ID before placing a bet IN PERSON! Think about that next time you're polite to your bookmaker.

Sorry it seems the problem is even worse than in this original article! A newer study has been done here

Perhaps some of the people using this forum are here to try and protect their own children? Interested to here from them.
