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)




Source & more detail information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_age#cite_note-27
is this serious?that Malawi is allowing their Children to Play in Casino as in?does the child has their own money to spend for?
the 15-16 from Iceland and UK is tolerable because as i remember i learn gambling at that age but 5?seems very unreasonable to allow to play in CASINO.

I'm also surprised when I see five years old, the child cannot even think correctly, there should be parental guidance on this, a child cannot make a decision on his bet or even how to play poker I don't know why did they allow it, it's more like child abuse, a child should be in a proper surrounding, and casinos is not a good place for children.
