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.
Seriously? I can't believe that, a 5 year old kid cannot think well, they are not full developed mentally and besides how they are going to play in casino gambling, how could they bet, they are so young, but thankfully they implemented age restrictions to protect our kids.
I think the legal age is 5 years old, but it is possible that they still have some restrictions like they are only allowed if they are with their guardian. Also, I don't think a 5-year-old kid will go to the gambling house by itself without knowing anything.
I think 5 years is not a good age for gambling as gambling needs mental maturity to get profit or to earn game so better wait and let our kids stay away from gaming yet when they are the age of playing or they should focus on the study as at our place people of 18 years are allowed to gamble as they are adult and mature enough to handle the misfortune of unexpected loss.
At a young age if a kid is exposed to gambling, that kid has a high chance to become a real gambler when it gets old. A life wherein it is all about gambling. We know how gambling affects the life of some adults. How much more to a 5 years old? Even though a 5 years old has the mental maturity to play, he /she must not exposed that early.
18 ? A college student in my country. We cannot say it would cause good. Because there many student who have lost their life in drugs, alcohols, smoke, and gambling.
