Quite a few Kids are exposed to gambling -- not on the serious, regulated Sites that we play on but rather on sites that are absolutely unregulated -- they dont care and dont verify your Age in any way, all they do is say in their Terms that you are not allowed to use the Site if you are below the Age of 18/legal gambling age in your country.
In the gaming scene, there has been a lot of promotion going on for CS:GO gambling sites for example. This is not run through the Game Developer themselves but through some very sketchy individuals. While CS:GO gambling has pretty much died down as Valve was forced to take steps to stop it because of a lawsuit of parents, there most certainly are still sites that are run for other Games. If you are at all interested in this you should Google 'Phantoml0rd scandal' or check out the Videos of Richard Lewis on YouTube regarding this.
YouTubers that are promoting these sites or people running these sites are not being held accountable and to my knowledge not a lot is done against it.
It's been shown time and time again that people specifically target a young audience, rig outcomes for Partners so they have good outcomes for their Videos etc.
In regards to this case:
I find it unbelievable that the Bank would not notify you or even ASK if these transactions are your own doing.
