What are the gambling laws where u come from, are they too strict or not strict enough. Or are they just fine?

What are your views on gambling.

And gambling isn't just casino betting. It is also sports betting, horse racing, jai alai, and table games.

This of course is ALL public and taxed, nothing under the table.

i think you just have to be 18 where i come from, seems fair enough to me

It's more than just age.

well other than dog fights etc. everything with gambling is legal

there arent many casinos though there are loads of betting shops

i personally have no problem with gambling but it can ruin people's lives so i know you have to know when to stop

It's legal here but you have to be 21.
The only sort of gambling I've ever done is on horses and I always have to have some bet for me when we go. That being said, we don't go often.

I have no issue with gambling really. You can either make or lose money. It's your call.

I'm not sure about how many betting places there are around here though.

No gambling here until 18(scratch tickets) and no casinos until you're 19 simply because they all serve alcohol and 19 is the legal drinking age.

I agree with the laws here to be honest, I think they're quite logical and fair.

I think people need to be more aware of gambling problems though.

I only ever play the scratch bingo/crossword tickets.
Other than that, I dislike gambling and find it to be a waste of money 95% of the time.

I don't know the laws in my state about gambling (we do have a lot of Indian Casinos though). That being said, I don't give a rats ass about gambling, and I hold no sympathy for you if you're addicted to it and loose all your money.

It was your decision to do it, so don't bitch and whine when you loose your entire life savings.
