Is 18+ the legal age to gamble freely in all countries?

[Kross]

My country specifies by law that 18+ is the legal age to gamble freely. I know that is same for many other countries. Is 18+ years the legal age to gamble freely in your country? Do you know any country that the legal age for gambling is different from 18+?

The age of legality differs with different countries. UK, Australia and most of Europe has 18+ age, South Korea and Canada has 19+. The US and most of Middle East has 21+ age, and finally Japan has 20+ age on some forms of gambling.

It depends on the country. In most African and Asian countries, 21+ age is the age requirement for gambling. In Europe, i think 18+ is the age requirement for a teenager to start gambling. But unfortunately, most gaming houses allow children below that age to gamble once they are bringing money for them.
