As I have also tried to see if this is real or not, I research about it and yes at the age of 5, they are legally allowed to gamble.
It's hard to think whether the kids know what they are doing or where they get the money to play. But I think they should be more strict when it comes to the legal age of allowed gamblers since it is not proper for kids to grow in gambling.
Well, in my reaserch Malawi is underdevelop country thats why they are no legal papers probihited those child to play gambling.

https://www.analyzecasino.com/news/how-old-do-you-have-to-be-to-gamble/i didnt know if i will be happy with that or not because i cant totally say that gambling is bad but some says its bad that why they provide age restriction limit .
id say not because i think its better if the younger the person will engage on gambling activities so that when he is on the right age he will now be profesional and he will now know the do's and dont's on gambling. others say its bad because i think they the person can be addicted on an early age and he will forgot his responsibilities as a young person like schooling and stuffs like that . guidance of the older will be needed to patch these thing up
