Age restriction in gambling

[FatFork]

I wonder what would be a 5 year old kid bet, 3 candies and a lollypop? 

You can start gambling when you are ready to realise what and how much you can lose. Some people understand that at the age of 5, someone dont understand that at the age of 55. There should be no age restriction, but person should understand all the consequences.

It's not about what the kid can bet at his age.

The puzzle is if that's really part of their culture and they are allowing as young as a 5-year-old to gamble. In different countries, we don't know the culture that they have with regards to gambling.

Regardless of the nation's culture, this is so wrong. Nowhere should such young children be allowed access to gambling, imho.

If the age restriction for Malawians is real it means that there is absolutely no restrictions, I still find it unbelievable as of how a country will place age restrictions at such low level, I guess those countries that place their restriction at 21 years old really did well in my opinion

Who said it is about the nation's culture?
Malawi's government didn't make the regulation based on the culture.
As far as I know, the reason is about "children don't know the function/meaning of money".

Children aged five are permitted in casinos. That is because the younger children (babies) do not know the meaning of money.

Guys, I think we are enough to discuss about this topic. Unfortunately, most replies are only talking about Malawi's gambling regulation. And I saw there were already too many replies almost with the same meaning/point. This will lead more spams, so I decide to LOCK this thread. However, I am so glad to have many responses/replies, thanks guys.
