Gambling Age

In America, the gambling age ranges from state to state, but as a general rule, you must be 18 to take part in any form of gambling. In the UK, after recent research showed a rise in problem gamblers in the 11-15 age bracket, official research reported the gambling age limit should be raised from 16 to 18.

Many sites have their own restrictions regardless of the legal gambling age of the respective country, for example, you must be 18 to gamble online at Totesport.
