“Responsible gaming” means that we take seriously our obligation to keep online games fun and safe. That means preventing underage people from playing and helping those who may not have control over their playing.
You can read our responsible gaming policy on our website. You may also see it on our software by going to ‘Help’ > ‘Information’ > ‘Responsible Gaming’ (desktop) or ‘More’ > ‘Responsible Gaming’ (mobile).
You need to be 18 or the minimum legal age to play online games in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater.
First, make sure that they don’t know your Stars ID or password. Also, there are software programs which allow you to control access to certain websites. Two of them that you might consider:
SafeKids
NetNanny
