WHY EUROPE ALLOWS MINORS TO GAMBLE
Social gam(bl)ing is a phenomenon that reached us from America. The case in which a 15 year old boy lost more than 20,000 euro shook public opinion, but, as the Belgian gambling regulator, we had already suggested to reinforce the supervision on social gambling games two years earlier. Because a political agreement could not be reached then, the full responsibility was placed on parents.
