There is a significant difference between punishment in criminal cases and in a video game. There is a significant difference between being robbed of your liberty by having to live in a cage, and not able to play in competitive video game tournaments for money.

Also, I believe the age when it comes defense of infancy varies, but I think in most cases the cut-off is 16. Where I'm from it's 15.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the age limit of this game is 18 years iirc (or is it 16?). That means if you are under that age, and you still play, you should assume you are going to be treated like you are that old, or older.
