Then why tf a game is responsible for their monetory loss? Children are susceptible to many more scams. And on top of that taking such privacy invasive 'measure' to solve it doesn't make sense either. Children can even upload patent's ids if parents are so careless anyway.

Regardless of who's responsible, children should not be gambling. Why is everyone magnifying "responsibility"? Scamming children is illegal and having them gamble is/should also be illegal. I'll also link you https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/14325340.

Children can even upload patent's ids

  1. We don't even know they're gonna use IDs to verify. Steam just uses a birthdate dropdown to comply with legal things.
  2. No, it takes a lot more carelessness for children to be able to find parents' IDs in the wild.

Scamming children is illegal. Solution isn't banning children or requiring id to compromise others' privacy too (who for example play without gambling). This whole thing is bs.

  1. people store id in their phone most of the time.

Again, this is gambling, and gambling is not scamming. What else do you propose to fix providing gambling services to children?

people store id in their phone most of the time.

No. Everyone Gen X and Y that I know of have passports in a cabinet and IDs in a wallet.
