I disagree. If a kid is old enough to own money and spend money, he should be able to gamble by buying a CD (will the songs on it justify the money spent?), junk food (will the temporary good taste justify the money spent?), investing in the stock market, buying any product, and gambling. Any purchase is a gamble. We're allowed to pay for entertainment but we can't pay for entertainment when we have a shot at winning?

But the law is the law, and the law says you have to be 18. I personally would fight for a lower age but they should need parent permission. I played when I was under 18 (hopefully statute of limitations is up now), it was always with my own money and I managed it fine. I lost everything I put on there, but I think I got better and it was worth it. But it takes an idiot to brag about their illegal activities on something that can be monitored. Also, pokerstars wins twice on this. First off they get to keep any money in the account (which was a lot if he was telling the truth, doubtful though), and second they can use it as an example of how they "protect" minors.

That said, if they wanted to, it would be quite easy to simply require a photo ID be faxed in to prove they are of age and using their real name (prevent multiple accounts).
