Good job.
This could be used as guide by the under age on this forum who are not qualified.
I guess online casinos should include it during signup so that alot of those who aren't qualify don't bother to try when they see the requirements. It should be clearly visible on the screen, and people should probably be made to tick yes/no when question on age is asked.

I wonder how accurate the Wikipedia age restriction is currently.

Age 5: Malawi (Casino)
How the government of Malawi part of Africa can free a 5-year-old child in the world of gambling, mess, chaos, 5-year-old child who already knows gambling, no, it occurred to me that a child of that age would become a leader someday he was an adult, his brain was money, gambling, women, and alcohol, that's for sure if he was involved in gambling.

If I think about it, children of that age have fallen into gambling. Certainly, there is no supervision from the government and their parents, like a lion, born and looking for his own hunt, (actually): a 5-year-old child is still in the stage of basic education that must not gamble, be strangled.

I guess this is only restricted to casino locally but some online gambling sites doesn't require age and also some sites doesn't require KYC or personal details this are mostly crypto casino's and betting site. They're completely anonymous that's why their convenient because in my country online gambling is banned.

These are my top recommend sites: OneHash, Kawbet. No age or country restrictions
The very reason why gamblers loves to use crypto, they can conveniently use the sites without worrying about sending their fund and playing thier
favorite games, though there are still crypto sites who ask for this information after you win a huge amount of money, you can't withdraw unless
you send proof ot your identity. But if you are a regular gambler who only use small amount of money using crypto sites will not be a problem.

It's so funny! Cheesy someone can play gambling starting from the age of 5. It is better to give no restriction than to give "5 years" restriction in casino platform. Does a 5 year old child have the ability to understand good or bad!
The age restriction limits show to me how greedy the casinos are and allowing a 5 year old kid to gamble is like considering him mature enough to know what is good and what is bad for them which I am sure is not true. I really hope there is a international restriction that should set standards for every casino.

Kids especially those who are young enough and incapable of making their own decision still needs further guidance and gambling is not a thing for them.
I agree that it would be a negative impact overall while they will learn the importance of money but at the same time there will be no fun in their life because they won't be able to able sports and other activities once they are into gambling.
Letting your kid to gamble in a age of 5 is really not a good example of parenting because it could affect his future that he will learn negative or bad activities in a very young age, that is why proper parenting should be advise and not letting your kids to gamble until they are not in an age of 18 or 21 for their own sake and safety.

This is not only hilarious rather cruel and sad to introduce a naive mind to something that is not meant for him and is harmful as well for his mental and physical health. 5 years old shall play in ground and must be involved in physical activities and games related to language rather gambling.
But what do you think everyone that they already allowed to play those 5 years old children?
Just like, if you are the government, you have the reason why you are allowing those 5 years old children, probably a good reason?
Nah, we all know that gambling is really risky and lot of people or family can be destroyed. Maybe there is just a limit for those 5 years old children who can gamble.

That is ridiculous  Grin at age 5 already playing gambling, maybe it is just for fun not serious, I am curious what type of gambling this kids are doing. Maybe it is just stated on their rules but literally no one plays at those age. Well there are some exemptions, there are some kids that are born a genius.

Everyone know wikipedia but I'm sure they also can edit it because knowledge always grow up. I never see age is problem because addicted is the real problem, for this one we should fight together. When people gambling they put their life into deep dark " rich " imagination and could not come back normal again. I suggest we keep promote safe gambling, don't stop it just make it as safe for everyone for various age.

They only allowed it, they didn't say anything that it is required for a kid that once he reached the age of 5, he must gamble in the casino. It is still a choice, and will always be a choice of parents whether if they will expose their children in the gambling world or not, because they are parents, they know that is good and bad, but sometimes there are parents that are so irresponsible when it comes to parenting.

This doesn't make any sense to me Children aged five are permitted in casinos. That is because the younger children (babies) do not know the meaning of money.

I mean, seriously? that is exactly the whole point, why are you going to let a child play in the casino if he doesn't know the value of money? no sane parents would allow their kid to be expose in something like that in his early age, the consequence will backfire at him when he grow up, as well as to the parents, unless his parents are gambler too and have a lot of money to support their gambling habit.

This is interesting, not to mention that their country is a poor one, so why waste money in gambling instead of buying food to save their lives from hungriness...

Age 5: Malawi (Casino)
I'm not surprised by this data because the country which is in the African continent (Malawi) is a poor country.  the lower or poorer a country = the crime rate is higher and human resources are low.

Where are you getting at? Are you trying to create some kind of connection about them having a high crime rate and a low age of restriction just by them being a developing country? I don't even know how you get to connect their age restrictions when your whole point is about them having a "high" crime rate. Also they might have a very young age restriction for their gambling law but does that mean that children at this age instantly want to get involve? Of course not that kind of age restriction is just there but it's not necessary that they will start gambling at a young age, we don't even know if there parents would give them money to start gambling. Like what any form of entertainment or hobby it is always a choice and they have their parents to basically restrict them on what they can. Their low age restriction does not mean they are also the most active gamblers in the world, just try searching what countries they are and you'll see Malawi isn't even on the list.

When I saw 5 years old is allowed, I tried searching where this country is. And Malawi is in Southern Africa.  
The country had suffered poverty over the years, Country hardly recovered depression and still the exploitation of the large estate owners. Maybe at early stage people are resorting to gambling but its still quite not right to have it approved by law to allow 5 year old to gamble.

At age 15 I already engage in gambling so I'm not surprise bout Iceland. Bacarrat is my fave in the back of our classroom.

If the country is poverty stricken then we can say that they allow children to play in back yard gambling but not in casino gambling, we never know what kind of gambling they are playing maybe they have a local form of gambling in which children can participate, but like all the others here, children should not be allowed to gamble at a very young age.

Have you known that there is an age restriction in gambling? But it is varied among the countries in the world. I have just checked in wikipedia that commonly someone can play gambling starting from the age of 15/16/18/19/20/21 years. It depends on where he lives, every country may have different regulation related to the age restriction. Below I classify some countries based on the age restriction:

Age 5: Malawi (Casino)

Age 15: Iceland (lottery)

Age 16: United Kingdom (Football pool, Scratchcards), Estonia (other), New Zealand (instant kiwi)

Age 18: Australia, Kiribati, Nauru, New Zealand (horse racing), Palau, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Vanuatu, Albania, Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, México, etc

Age 19: South Korea, Canada, USA

Age 20: New Zealand (Casino), Sweden (Casino), Japan, Nigeria

Age 21: Belgium, Estonia (Casino), Armenia, India, Lebanon, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines (casino), Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, Namibia, Niger (casino), Bahamas, Saint Kitts and Nevis, US Virgin Islands (casino), USA, Macau

Age 23: Greece


Source & more detail information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_age#cite_note-27
In my own personal opinion, people should really start to learn and experience to play gambling in a casino in the age of 21 because they are all mature enough to take care themselves and they are ready to take on their own journey. I also think it is improper to allow a child to gamble in a age of 5 because he could already learn to become aggressive and greedy in a early age.

Age 5: Malawi (Casino)


If someone here wanted to make his/her own kid/s a gambling prodigy (any sort), This could be an option. I bet that Gambling is a part of a kindergarten's curriculum, I guess it falls under the Arts class. *Imagining it makes smile* Group yourselves into five, 1 would be the dealer and the others are the players. starting bet would be 1 color orange crayon. *LMAO* and the Slots would be there vendo machine *Ching* WINNER! MILK!



Kiddin aside, This is really absurd and somehow unbelievable. This could really raise a question for UNESCO.

I bet Malawi has a huge number of gamblers because they can start at a very young age, I don't know about Malawi, but whoever passed that law is not right, it is encouraging children to gamble, here in our country you will be charge with child abuse if you teach or let children gamble at a very young age.
