hey =) im 13 and i lay on this site...i think as long as its not for money or if it stays with friends for low stakes playing on this site is fine....they cant gamble your salary on this site =)

I have 4 of my children playing and doing very well here.
I think the site is very friendly for the most part and I can monitor there play and help them learn the game. they range in age from 20 to 10.
As long as theres no real money involved i'm ok with it.

i think its good idea to let them play,cos its very clever game it makes them busy also,or addicted eeh.let them enjoy and ull see,or should buy poker kit and play whole family at home and have fun.good luck

We have a son on here and he is doing pretty darn good.

its a good idea and a bad 1 good for learning but look how addicted we all are lol
surely dont want ur children playing poker instead of studying?

[asdfasdf]

yeah I don't think it's a bad idea until it gets in the way of their schoolwork... this might even serve as motivation to get done w/ hw etc earlier so they can play

Hi melly, My daughter gem plays but shes 24, i share the same concerns about the bad lanuage and bullying so havn't allowed 13yr old to join, but u know ur boys better than enybody else so ur call m8 xx

I have children on here and nieces and nephews ranging in age from 9 to 17 and they all seem to have a good time playing. The abusive players are all turned into the other moderators and we do use their time on the computer as a way of rewarding them for good grades and getting their homework done. My niece even made Honor Roll.

I don't agree with kids playing on this site, this is gambling and only adults should do that, who cares if it's not real money, your still teaching them how to gamble and that could affect them later on in life. Also I don't wanna play with a bunch of kids, I hate them and always have, I want to play a game where I can play with people the same age, at least then I won't have to listen to the useless crap they come out with on the tables.
So and so, you suck, stop raising, im gonna beat you so bad, it's bloody pathetic and I don't see adults making this useless insults, it's always the kids who think they can say whatever they want and get away with it. Just keep gambling to the adults and let your kids go play outside or play mario or something.

its not good for young teens/ pre-teens to play poker soo early cuz they are not mature to handle gambling if i was a parent and i wont even think off letting them play

Hi Lilium

I find the abuse and silly insults come from adults!!! I have found that playing poker around the table gives them good mathmatical colour and shape recognition it also helps them to concentrate and use their brains instead of being sat in front of a playstation or tv it gives good family interaction. this helps children understand the value of money and we play at homefor pennies.

if they already know about poker, then it's pointless not letting them play on the internet...they'll just go and play poker with their friends...and mayby for real money...

[mellymoo]

Thanks Markosa

I dont think they have taught their friends how to play yet and i wouldnt let them out the house with any money yet they are too young

[909fontana]

they are gonna become addicted to gambling....

[markosa]

addiction to poker is as harmless as addiction to computer games, as long as no money is involved...

[mellymoo]

No fontana

They understand the value of money, im a single mum and have just been made redundant and they understand we do not have money now like we used to while i was working i believe that is important and they know that this is just a false money game they have their heads screwed on

Thank you 4 ur concern
