We have all heard of how video games can negatively affect children if there is no moderation. However, parents are now finding that there are bigger problems.
We want to warn you about the dangers of having your debit or credit card linked to a game account. For example, one mother discovered that her son had taken $2,000 from her account to purchase in-game items. This highlights the potential for unauthorized spending in the gaming world and the game companies will rarely, if ever, restore your funds.
This is why it is crucial to unlink your card, it is better to buy gift cards from the grocery store rather than apply any of your financial information online. It is not always the game itself, but we have had reports of other players selling items for $1500 to use in the game. Overall, stay safe and closely monitor to avoid these concerns.
