Our Policy on Underage Play

Casinos Online strongly opposes children having any access to online casinos - most people do. But not everybody understands the reasons for why this is so.

Children under the age of 18 are still developing, both in their emotions and in their reasoning. They receive the guidance and protection of their parents, which is a good thing, but it can also shield them from some of the real-world impact of their mistakes.

When it comes to gambling, whether in a traditional land-based casino, or at an online website, a grown-up understands that although they are playing for fun and enjoyment, the very financial aspect that makes gambling so exciting can also make it extremely dangerous.

But a grown-up is rational - if they have entered a losing streak, they will simply stop playing. They do not feel the need, as a child does, to keep playing until they beat the game. They understand the real-world implications of emptying a bank account.

While it is true that some children mature faster than others, it can't be said that children are fully capable of making the same adult decisions that their parents are. They simply don't yet grasp the ramifications.

Research backed by extensive studies has shown that our children are at four times more likely to develop a chronic gambling addiction in later life if they are exposed to gambling while still under age. For this reason, it is our duty to protect them until they are old enough to understand our pastime.

Protect Your Kids

There are several things that you as a parent can do to make sure that your kids never have access to any of the online casinos that you enjoy. Here is a list of our top recommended tips.

1. Separate profiles Your computer has the facility to allow several people to use it without seeing each other's files. Use it to create separate accounts for your children so that they aren't exposed to whatever is in your web browser's history.

It's also worth using this feature to set a password on your own account to prevent them from accessing your software in the first place.

2. Install Internet filtering There are a many legitimate reasons why children may need to access the Internet - much as you'd like to, you can't just prevent them from going online. However, there are ways to control what they can and can't see when they go online.

Companies like Net Nanny and Cybersitter provide software that filters your Internet connection and prevents children from seeing content that you consider to be inappropriate. This will protect them from accidentally accessing a gambling site, but won't prevent you from doing so.

3. Close your sessions If you're playing at an online casino and you need to step away from your computer, the safest thing to do is to log out of your profile completely. At the very least you should shut down the casino software.

This will prevent your curious kids from playing with your "exciting game" if they come across the computer unattended before you get back from whatever you were doing.
