How old must you be to gamble online?

Age restrictions for gambling online vary from one country to another. And given that the online gaming industry is in such flux following the US's enactment of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), depending on where you're planning on wagering from in the world, a "better safe than sorry" approach would probably be well advised. In most regions, 18 is generally the legal age for gambling with real money. Some jurisdictions require players to be as much as 21 years old before they're allowed to place bets. Again, it's best to know the laws governing your region. If you're under 18, you can still play for fun (no money) at most online casino sites.
