Message: [QUOTE="zachvac, post: 1088075, member: 26306"] Honestly if a kid can own and spend his own money on something I don't see why they shouldn't spend it gambling if they want to. Morals/ethics-wise I see no problem with it especially in home games where most of it is social anyway and it's only for $5 or $10. That said, it is illegal to play online and the Stars account is illegal. Also note that there would be legal consequences for you assuming you are the legal guardian if it is ever found out. It probably won't, and I think teaching kids poker can even help them more with money management (as long as you also teach things like proper bankroll management and he isn't just trying to hit it big). But again, it's illegal and you are breaking the law. Personally I'd stick with fun home games for $5 or $10 or w/e and leave online until he's 18. [/QUOTE]
