Also, You have to see Afganistan > has unlimited age ( every age can play Online gambling)

OMG, I can't believe that there is a country with no restriction for the player's age in gambling. I'm worried that this potentially causes to child exploitation. With no age restriction in gambling, doubt about the future of children in that country. I don't try saying gambling isn't good but playing gambling too early should be avoided.

Quote from: Chikito on April 05, 2020, 10:23:27 PM

A simple reason mentioned above, That is because the younger children (babies) do not know the meaning of money.

Yes, it is a simple reason but totally unclear. Even if the children don't know about the money but playing gambling repeatedly can make it be their habit. I think it is a bad habit for children, gambling isn't suitable habit while you are still too young. If I were a father in that country, I must complain about this regulation since it triggers the deterioration of the next generation.

Age restriction is a must in gambling, so we can protect our kids from playing gambling.

depend in which country you are residing because check the list and you will find that even 5 years old is allowed in one country lol.

Quote from: michellee on April 06, 2020, 03:20:36 AM

However, we never know if they don't gamble when they play with their friends.

Nope as a parents ?we must know thew activities of our children because that is our obligations,if we are a functional parents we will find even they are hiding their activities.

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

I cannot say that it is true that Malawi Allows an age 5 to gamble, because the source is the Wikipedia (articles may edit it for free), also age 5 cannot read nor write in a straight language or can compute but this one is acceptable if the IQ of that kid is high, but then I do not think that it is good for a teenager or a child to play in that age, also 18 above is more good since, they can be put in jail if they are disobeying laws regarding gambling.

It is very bad to allow the age of 5 years to gamble casinos because they will be addicted early and cannot control themselves

-snip- You are right it is a careless decision to allow a child at 5 years playing gambling/casino. It is not a proper age for a gambler even if the reason is for having fun.

Indeed it is not appropriate for the age of 5 years have been allowed to play gambling should they be more focused to learn compared to gambling at the age of 5 years maybe Malawi has a strong reason to apply underage?
Of course in other countries the age of 5 years are not allowed to play gambling for fear of being addicted from the start and even if they grow up they will not be separated from gambling can be self-destructive if they continue to play gambling.
If you just have fun, you have to play with your friends, not gamble.

One thing that it is harmful for the under age is that they may not have that much sense at that age about what is right or wrong. How money is earned or how much people have to work to make little for their living this all thing only those who earn knows about it. For children it would be like it is easy as they will keep getting money without realizing the worth of it and they would not even know when to stop. For them everything is free so it would not be beneficial to allow for underage.

Then age restriction wouldn't matter in that case.

Quote from: michellee on April 06, 2020, 03:20:36 AM

Maybe we can say that 5 years old prohibited from playing gambling, but I guess that children with less than 10 years old or more than 10 years are gamble with their friends. But of course, they don't visit the casino because they know that it is prohibited and they can't go there.

No need for them to visit the casino, they can create their house casino if they want to. Kids today are explorer and they would love to explore in things that will give them curiosity.

What i believe is in Gambling it is the community that Builds us so even how age is restricted but this is for Casino Live only and not in the street Gambling and in Online because someone can create account for another young player to qualify since they only need small amount to play.
but i am very amazed that there is country that allow CHILDREN to play in Live casino,Damn i never thought of seeing such for a Child to play gambling instead of toys.

You're right, its just that each country has different age restriction in gambling but despite that parents should not allow their kids to gamble at a very young age. We need to guide them on the right path because there's a time for everything. Even the country allow kids to gamble it doesnt mean we will let them to play, we as parents knows whats best and that is to teach them how to strive by studying and earn a diploma to have a better future.

As you see, this is just the rule for Malawi.

Majority of the world this is unacceptable but I we don't know what's the reason why Malawi allowed this or have this standard for allowing kids to gamble.

It's the stage of honing the kids skills and hobby and it shouldn't be considered to teach them to gamble.

I'm surprised when I saw that the age restriction in Malawi is only 5. I think there is such a reason why their government allow that law. It is a strange because kids can become addicted to it. In my country you cannot go in casinos if you are not 21 years old. Before you get inside the casinos, you need to have I.D. that is proof that your age is 21+years old and above.

You are right. Good parents mustn't allow children at 5 years to play gambling. Whatever the reasons, it is not a suitable place for them. Then if they play it regularly, it will be their habits. And surely it is not good habits for children at 5 years.

Quote from: cabalism13 on April 03, 2020, 07:42:51 PM

that's really an absurd decision for it might get abused by the others as well.

Well, to be honest, I agree with you. The decision seems very unusual and never applied in my country exactly. That's why I said "it is a careless decision", it can be abused by irresponsible parties. Hemm.. I think we will see that this regulation to be revised very soon. Undecided

...You are right it is a careless decision to allow a child at 5 years playing gambling/casino. It is not a proper age for a gambler even if the reason is for having fun.

and also how come can a 5 year old child can play things on a casino,... even on an online platform? A child like that will surely just waste a lot of money without knowing its real value. Also I doubt parents who's on the right thinking will allow their child to play on an environment such as that. Maybe the government just wanted to tell that Restrictions aren't supposed to be a hindrance on playing which is solely for entertainment but the thing is, that's really an absurd decision for it might get abused by the others as well.

Anyways, as for this matter when playing in an Online Platforms, age restrictions doesn't help that much for it can be bypass easily, especially in this current era where all can be easily edited. There are a lot more who can use fake identities just to play these kind of games. Such rules only applies on RL Casinos.

I think it is already discussed many times above, just scrolled up to know the reasons & some answers. You must know that every country may have different reasons and considerations to establish a decision. However, I'm also not really sure about the main reason for the Malawi government decided the age limit in Casinos. You are right it is a careless decision to allow a child at 5 years playing gambling/casino. It is not a proper age for a gambler even if the reason is for having fun.

Yes, even their reason is kids from their country have a good understanding of money, kids will still become addicted to gambling. Grown-up that has a wide understanding of money and gambling is still exposed to being a gambling addict, what more on kids.

Kids are not good logical thinking so definitely they will not understand what's the real purpose of money, it might get lead them into danger.

5 years old is such a small age that people should not allow their kids to gamble they should be restricted by parents as it's not good for them.

True, parents have to control the children's activity and ensure that they do suitable activities. Gambling is indeed not suitable for them, but the government has another perception of it. However, I never heard that there is a country that forced children to play gambling. Even if the age restriction 5 years old, it doesn't mean all children there playing gambling. Cheesy

Quote from: Best Dreams on April 01, 2020, 04:17:26 PM

~~ allow them to gamble after they become adults so they can control emotions and will know better about the win and lose.

Not all parents allow their children to play gambling, even some of them never let their children know about gambling. And you must know that adult age cannot guarantee a good-control on emotion. It depends on the nature of someone and their intelligence. But surely when someone is in adult age, he can think independently.

got the above reasoning from this article. i guess, these kids are getting the concept of money wrong if it comes from gambling. but seems that it is innate from their culture so really hard to remove that from the youngsters. wonder how they are doing financially when they are adults already, if their foundation comes from gambling...

The first time I saw a list in various countries for a minimum age in gambling, I was surprised that where 5 years had played casino. In my country 5 years still playing like a child in general. 18+ years is the right kind in my country for gambling. If it's below that, then it still can. but the gamble in question is only local gambling.
