Under-age participation
Posted by super on January 27, 2006
What can we do to stop children under the age of 13 from participating in our promotion?
You should always be very clear in your legal rules that participation requires the players to be 13 years and older. In your registration pages you should ask for date of birth, instead of stating “YOU MUST BE 13+ IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE” as this type of language may actually encourage users to submit a fictitious age. Your online system should not allow them to play or database their information if they enter a date of birth under 13 years of age, and it is also a sound practice to bar such users from attempting further registrations on your system.
