Balatro dev: Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating (x.com)

Basically all media ratings bodies are weirdly corrupt and apply ratings without any clear rhyme or reason. There's good reason to largely ignore the ratings as an adult and even as a parent

My kids saw me playing it yesterday and asked if they could try. I said, "sure, why not?" They asked if they could play Fortnite and I told them there's no way that's happening in my house.

If your kid wants to play a thing, at least check out a gameplay video and read a bit instead of blindly saying yes or no.
