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)

You're confusing PEGI (the European games rating body) with ESRB (the American equivalent).

PEGI has ratings 3, 7, 12, 16, and 18, and it gave Balatro the highest rating of 18.

ESRB has ratings E, E10+, T, M, and A, and it gave Balatro the relatively low E10+ rating.
