WHATS UP! asked:
With most indian casinos already being 18+ as well as the easy availability of 18+ online poker rooms, why don’t all casinos i.e. in Vegas change to 18+ as well??

Seems like it would be an easy way to get more business. Im not really sure on laws, is it US law that it has to be 21+? So are the indian casinos only able to do it cause they are technically not under all US law? And online rooms able to do it cause they are based out of US?
So do vegas casinos not have the ability to do it or do they just not for some reason??

Alcohol. Nuff said.
Pretty sure that alcohol is the culprit here. Don’t think that they would be able to sell it if it was 18+.
There is no logical reason why this is not done.
For those who think it is alcohol, they are wrong.
There is an off track horse betting place in Virginia that I’ve been to. They sell wine and beer (no ‘hard’ liquor) but allow anyone over 18 to be on the premises and bet the horses. An 18 year old can enter, sit at the bar, and bet $1,000 per race, just as long as they don’t drink alcohol.
As for online gambling, these sites are in foreign countries, and in almost every other country in the world, you are an adult at 18 and therefore entitled to all the rights of being an adult.
America is fairly unique in making people adults at 18, but not granting them full rights for three more years.
Many argue that this stunts the process of maturing and reaching adulthood.
