I have been playing online since I was fourteen, Which is way before the legal age to gamble. I used to create accounts using one of my parents names, or something like that. On occasion, I would borrow money without permission because I was too young to have a credit card. Lol. It's not the same as stealing if you pay it back! Well, I have been playing online, off and on, for about twelve years. I think live games are better for winning, but I prefer playing online because I can gamble in the comfort of my own home.
