Minimum Age for chess.com

Interesting, the topic is 16+ years old but I did not see any comment from a stuff member

I read the User Agreement and some Help articles and there is different info about minimum age for chess.com users

I'm under 13 but still use chess.com. Don't have a problem with anything.

@erik commented on the first page.

Ok, indeed

However, Wikipedia does not explain some differences between the User Agreement and some Help articles

The minimum age to register on Chess.com is generally 13 years or older, or the age of consent in your country—whichever is higher. You must accept the User Agreement to create an account. If you're not yet of legal age but are at least 13, a parent or legal guardian must consent and manage the account (Chess.com).

Yes, thats what the User Agreement says: 13 is the minimum age for any user

Hi yes anyone under 13 needs parental acceptance

And this is what I am talking about

The User Agreement says that "parental acceptance" needed for players who are at least 13 but younger than the legal age

Yet in some Help articles or from other players I often hear that users under 13 are also allowed if they have "parental acceptance"

same i agree

?

That's also known as "CYOA"

Nah 10+ for chess.com and 12+ for the social side of chess.com

Minimum is 1000

Bro what

@Arush_Kk5,

Yep, let me go contact my local 1,000 year old and tell him that he can play chess.com now.

Same

I would say as long as the parent or guardian knows about the risks and such, and has agreed to the TOS and Privacy policy, its completely legally binding as long as its signed by the guardian, so i see nothing wrong with it, also considering a lot of kids learn chess from this website because of this generation being sucked onto screens.
