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.

Hey all. I've been playing mobile poker apps (PPPoker, X-Poker,PokerBros, ClubGG) for a couple of years, mostly in Asian clubs.Built a comparison directory at poker-catalog where I track rakebackrates, club traffic, and agent reliability. Happy to answerquestions about the mobile poker world — it's a niche mosttraditional poker players don't know much about.
