This measure, part of the Seimas\u2019 2024 agenda, was reported by SBC News and is set to be voted on by ministers later in the year. The proposal aims to encompass both retail and online gambling platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Jurgita Sejonien\u0117, a member of Lithuania\u2019s Homeland Union Party, proposed this change. She believes aligning the gambling age with Lithuania\u2019s stricter gambling laws is necessary. These reforms are part of Lithuania\u2019s effort to tighten gambling regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Under the new proposal, individuals under 21 would not be allowed to enter gambling venues or participate in online gambling. This move follows Lithuania\u2019s policy of prohibiting under-21s from casino gambling, while the legal gambling age for other forms has been 18.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal also mentions the implementation of stricter ID requirements for gambling. These changes have already been observed in Lithuania\u2019s national lottery system. Lottery players must be at least 18, but recent reforms require retailers to conduct rigorous ID checks to ensure compliance with the age limit.<\/p>\n<p>The Seimas is expected to make a decision on whether to adopt these changes by July 2024, following its initial unanimous approval. To put things in perspective, the first steps to regulate Lithuanian gambling already date back to <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/lithuania-to-regulate-online-gambling\/\">2013<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
