I've heard of incidents where children are given Valve Steam giftcards to purchase games, but then turn around and use the funds on the gift card to gamble. The parents involved have no notion of gambling even being a possibility with these gift cards. The financial loses to the parents are minimal but real harm is still present since their child is being manipulated by adults to develop a gambling habit. Is it the parent's fault for not researching the game store more carefully? Perhaps. But that's no reason to not regulate it. Casinos aren't allow to let children gamble, even though you could certainly blame the parents if their child wandered into a casino without their knowledge!
