# ESRB video game rating (`esrb_rating`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Age rating of a video game or app by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, used in the United States, Canada and Mexico: E (everyone), E10+ (everyone 10 and older), T (teen, 13 and older), M (mature, 17 and older), AO (adults only, 18 and older) and RP (rating pending). EC (early childhood) was retired in 2018; the regexp accepts it for older data. The regexp does not accept the ratings written in full, such as Mature 17+.
