Underage Gambling at Online Casinos

There is a reason that online gambling is reserved for adults (or at least those over the age of 18 – who knows if all of them could be classified as adults), in fact there are several reasons and the underage online casinos poker player JJProdigy illustrates several of those reasons. JJProdigy issued a statement just weeks ago as a formal apology to the online poker industry for the many cheats that the player has engaged in over the last several years. The young player managed to signup and gain access to some of the top online casinos and poker sites in the industry, then went on to demonstrate truly childish and embarrassing behavior.

Underage gambling is a serious problem at the online casinos, and one that many of the popular sites claim that they have firmly under control. But that is not necessarily the case, especially when one looks at the long track record of the underage player, JJProdigy.

JJProdigy was involved in multi-accounting, among other problems. And beyond that, he used inflammatory statements and cheated his way into the online casino poker rooms, causing the legitimate players undue stress because of his antics.

But perhaps more distressing to those in the online poker industry is that JJProdigy proves that the industry cannot in fact control the underage gambling problem completely. JJProdigy managed to re-register at the online casinos poker sites and continued to play at the internet tables, essentially until he was old enough to realize he was wrong – and at that point he had a mere month to wait until he could gamble legally. JJProdigy’s situation certainly signals to the online poker industry that underage gambling is still a problem, and that the sites do not have all of the mechanisms in place to sufficiently eliminate the problem.
