I turn 18 in September and I'm from the UK so I'm biased in saying it shouldn't. However from my observations, people over here, and I presume in the US too, start drinking, and smoking in fact, at a very young age. I think if the age was raised it would only caused more of a dispute and it would only make younger people drink illegally more and cause controversy. As for gambling, I don't actually know anyone under 18 who is that keen on gambling or has even done it before. I don't think gambling at a young age is a huge issue here in the UK, it's more for the older generation here and people with disposable money.

Well you can find this out on line, but this may help, You have to be over 16 to gamble, like lottery and arcades.
And at this time 21, and 18 depending on the Casino .

You have to be over 16 to gamble, like lottery and such, I'm not sure if it changes in Casinos if it does it'll probably be over 18.
Is that what you're looking for?
