Why do you need my credit card to verify my
kid’s account?
To comply with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection
Act (COPPA), kids younger than 13 years old must have
parents’ permission to join.
There are only a few approved ways we can obtain parental
consent according to these regulations & the quickest way to
do that is to verify your identity using a credit card.
