chem1st Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 In the UK your supposed to be 18 to gamble. You have to be 18 to pay council tax. Yet you can buy a lottery ticket at 16. (Gamble and pay tax at the same time). The age should be raised to 18... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 They should reduce the age limit of all the others down to 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay tax at 16 as well if you are working, that's not same as council tax and I often see children playing bingo at seaside who are nowhere near 16, then there are the slots at seaside arcades - that's also gambling. The thing is it can become addictive, no matter what age you are - so where do you draw the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedbirdone Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Not without parental consent you can't.. I know that, the point i was making was, that at 16 you are old enough to sign up to be a Soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
