18, 21 ? I'm sure it varies by country. What is it in CR ? Where is it 21 ?

In Florida where I live you can go to the casinos at 18 years old and play poker. I have done it myself. I am now 20 so there you go. I have been twice in my life. Haven't been back in more than a year.

I know there is a tournament that poker stars is working with in Europe and you only have to be 18. Hope that helps.​

Yup it is. Most books are 18. Hence how I have casually been in the action for a few years.

I think it's 18 at online sportsbooks.

That's what I thought, too ! Reason I ask is step-daughter ( just turned 20)) wants to get back in and have me bet for her, again. I don't want to do it. She's there to collect winners but slow-pays losers.

I say open your own accounts now, since she doesn't live with me, get bonuses, etc. I'll certainly tell her how to use the bonus money,properly.

No win situation, she'll overbet, but better than me placing the bets, writing checks for winners, and waiting forever to be paid on losers, I don't need that SHIT.

I e-mailed her the Skybook offer, she brought this up at dinner out a few days ago. I regret ever starting this a couple years ago.

I'll teach the girl to bonus whore, but time for her own accounts ! You can't get the bonuses without your own accounts, anyway !

I've thought about getting my cat an SIA account !

18, definitely 18. The 21 rule applies to the US only, and because online gambling is officially illegal in teh US, that rule is thrown out the window.

So no "offshore" country requires more than age of 18 ? I find that hard to believe, given all the jurisdictions potentially involved.

18 is fine with CR, Australia, England, Jamaica,Gibraltar, Antigua, Curacao, etc. ? None require 21 ?

As a matter of fact, yes, I do believe that the age is 18 EVERYWHERE ELSE, including those countries that you listed there. That is, however, assuming that gambling is allowed at all. I'm sure there's at least one country where gambling is disallowed altogether.

Cool man, I just don't see how every worthwhile country on the gobe agrees that 18 Y.O. , is the right age ! Such a unamious age seems unlikely to me, every country in the world comes up with 18, OK ! It seems an arbritary number to me, every major offshore country agreeing to it seems highly questionable, but I'll take your word for it !
