- jsheard 1y agoI think most countries have much stricter enforcement for gambling age limits, too. If you sell a kid a copy of GTA5 that's their parents problem, but if you allow kids into your casino it's your problem.
- josefx 1y agoThe problem is defining what falls under those laws. Companies sell trading card boxes with random contents. McDonalds had its Monopoly game. There are many more examples of things that are gambling with money, accessible to kids and still allowed in most countries.
- dcow 1y agoMcDonald’s at least has AMOE and you don’t have to spend a cent to play. It’s certainly the less convenient path, purposely, though.
- voxic11 1y agoMcDonalds Monopoly game was a sweepstakes, you could get game pieces for free by simply asking, which is why it doesn't fall afoul of gambling laws.
- CaptainOfCoit 1y agoTypically legal gambling has age limits by law, while the age recommendation for video games is just that, an recommendation. It isn't illegal for a 14 year old to play a game recommended to 18 year olds. Don't know how it works in the US specifically, at least how it works in other places. I'm guessing the video games industry's attempt at self-regulating with PEGI and similar efforts actually paid off.
- averageRoyalty 1y agoI can't speak for your country, but in Australia it's illegal to sell MA15+ rated material to an under 15, and R18+ material to an under 18. CS is MA15+.
- the_sleaze_ 1y agoIs there?
- reaperducer 1y agoFound the 14-year-old.
- saghm 1y agoFrom an objective legal standpoint in some jurisdictions, the answer is clearly yes
- BigTTYGothGF 1y agoBy and large, yeah.
