Gaming is illegal in Tokelau (defined as 'a game for money with cards or with dice'). For certain small lotteries, the minimum age to purchase a ticket is 16. The social gambling age is tied to the age of majority, which is 18 under Palauan law. Gambling is illegal in Palau except for social gambling, non-profit organisations, and offshore gambling. Gambling is illegal except for non-profit bingo, raffles and cakewalks.

In some countries, gambling is illegal regardless of age, while some countries have different age limits for different types of gambling, and some countries have no explicit minimum gambling age.
The gambling age is the minimum age at which one can legally gamble in a certain jurisdiction.
