minor gambling arizona
What happens to people that gamble in Arizona when they&#39;re not old enough?
<p>I was gambling in Arizona 2013 and was looking for a goal of $1,000. It wasn't a scam. I was 10 years old at the time. We got only got $300.  Both and my Dad were doing the gambling and we each took turns.</p>
<p>What would happen if someone reported us?</p>

<p><a href="https://www.onlineunitedstatescasinos.com/states/arizona-gambling/" rel="noreferrer">This site</a> says that the legal age for online gambling in AZ is 18, and for &quot;land&quot; gambling is 21, but does not mention penalties for violations.</p>
<p>According to Arizona code section <a href="https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.azleg.gov%2Fars%2F13%2F03301.htm" rel="noreferrer">13-3301</a> &quot;Regulated gambling&quot; requires that</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Beginning on June 1, 2003, none of the players is under twenty-one years of age.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.azleg.gov%2Fars%2F13%2F03302.htm" rel="noreferrer">13-3302</a> Regulated gambling is &quot;not unlawful&quot; provided that</p>
<blockquote>
<p>the gambling is conducted in accordance with the statutes, rules or orders governing the gambling.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Acording to <a href="https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.azleg.gov%2Fars%2F13%2F03303.htm" rel="noreferrer">13-3303</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A. Except for amusement, regulated or social gambling, a person commits promotion of gambling if he knowingly does either of the following for a benefit:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Conducts, organizes, manages, directs, supervises or finances gambling.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Furnishes advice or assistance for the conduct, organization, management, direction, supervision or financing of gambling.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>B. Promotion of gambling is a class 5 felony.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So it would appear that the organizer could be guilty of a felony if underage gambling is allowed in a regulated gambling situation, which seems to be what the question is describing. I cannot find any AZ law imposing penalties on an underage person who engages in gambling, but  I am not sure if there are any or not.</p>
<p>I suspect in the situation described in the question, it would be treated as if the father was doing the gambling, but the description is not entirely clear.</p>
