As his losses inevitably swelled, Kevin started looting a $30,000 college fund set up by his parents. ''I didn't care if I won or lost,'' said Kevin, who went through $7,000 in three months. ''I just wanted to gamble.''

Awesome.

Thanks Kevin, you're the reason I don't have to worry about money for at least the next several years! I owe you one buddy :-D.

I still blame the parents...how the F do these kids have access to so much money.

Parents should be happy. It could be drugs little Ricky is blowing his college fund on.

Instead of lamenting the seeming crisis of these types, maybe those who are complaining should instead offer these kids some good 2+2 books so they could get a clue.

Nice insight...My youngest son (now 21) started to play ~ a year or so ago. I helped him set up an online account...taught him basic starting hands and strategy...my goal was to keep him home more often at night. Worked reasonably well and he has developed into a winning SS nl player.

Every hour he was glued to Pokerstars was less time to find trouble imo.

Support groups? I need these guys. They are the reason I can afford the hedonistic lifestyle to which I am accustomed.

Anyone got any idea about whether the sites are trying to enforce their age limits? How many 14-year-olds are out there playing?

Naturally!
The articles are so important that he has taken it upon himself to require everyone to read it twice.
