Should the Age Limit for the National Lottery Be Raised?
In the News
The government are looking to up the age limit from 16 to 18
is this a good move?
I think 16 is pretty young for people to be able to do the lottery. It's okay generally but its a very different situation when you have someone who is getting addicted and then you've got a very vulnerable person.
I guess there’s no reason why young people should start gambling that early. Let them start earning some cash first and then let them decide if it’s worth betting with it
Yes I am with the argument that it is gambling and this is for 18+. I certainly don't like the idea of my kids at 16 spending money on such things.
I agree. Especially if it’s your money they’re spending. I say let them earn some money first, preferably through hard graft, and then let them decide if it’s worth betting with
