Hello everyone, this is my first official post on this forum. I have been actively reading much of the website within the past year and I hope to make some contributions in the near future.

I would like to thank the Wizard for permitting me to register for the forum despite the age requirement on the registration page (I am currently 20 years old).

Perhaps the Wizard believes that life begins at conception, which may possibly make you 21 years since created.

Either way, welcome!

The church let me play craps (street craps of sorts) and Big-6 when I was 12 so no big deal. Welcome aboard.

You're welcome, and welcome to the forum. I was hoping you won't mention that I let the age requirement slide in your case.

My bad, I couldn't figure out a better way to let you know it was me.

(lol).....good example of being 20. Anyways, welcome aboard MikeV.

I have a question about that. Why even admit to being 20? Even if a person was only 16, what's the big deal if you say you're 21?

I just think I have no reason to lie about my age. Also, if I ever wanted to post a report of a casino I visit, one of the requirements for me is that it has to be an 18+ establishment, until I turn 21.

I wonder how effective it is to have age requirements on the internet, only to have no requirement of confirmation. You see it frequently.

There is a beer website, I think Budweiser, that asks you your age on the front page. If you enter anything below 21 it takes you to a page telling you not to drink. If you just click the "back" button, and enter an age of 21, it brings you to a page telling you how great beer is.

I don't quite understand the point.

I drank more beer before I turned 21 than I did for the
rest of my life combined. It was like That 70's Show, all
we did was drink beer.

Canada let all their adults gamble and drink from age 19. Tax free too.
