Do you think teens 15-18 should be allowed to play bingo? It's considered gambling but it's really just a fun game. What about under adult supervision?

If you play just for fun, then it's not gambling...... Gambling has a specific economic definition, referring to wagering money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. SOURCE: Wikipedia

I totally think teens 16-18 should be allowed into BINGO halls. I honestly didn't know they were not allowed. I've been about 3 times (im in college)and its just fun to chill with the old/cig smokin people. We never go to try and make money... that would just be an added bonus. I consider it like this: You will pay for entertainment elsewhere...like going to a movie...why not spend $10 on bingo?

If it costs money to play and you win money if you win, then it is gambling and should be reserved for those who have reached the age of majority.

if there is money involved then I think they shouldn't play, if it is just for fun then yes they should

The bingo halls around here allow children as young as 11 in them and they are allowed to play as long as they are with their parent and do not disrupt anyone. When they are that young the parent has to have their birth certificate with them. Also, our state has a ban on smoking in all public buildings. Anyone that smokes has to be 25 feet away from any doors or windows.

It's more than just a fun game, if you pay for the cards then it is gambling and illegal in most states for anyone under 18. Even under adult supervision it's gambling and illegal for minors.

if you play for fun then it's ok otherwise when money comes in, it comes under gambling and as per the gambling policy you should be above 18 to play for real money.

I think it's fine if they play for something other than money, or just pay like a nickel a card.
