Last year a 14-year-old spent $20,000 in 17 days on Fortnite and Twitch. A 10-year-old girl spent $7,200 in a few months on Roblox. These “free” online games are creating financial chaos for parents.

“My minor child spent almost $20k using a debit card on subscriptions & donations, cleaning out my bank accts (sic) without my knowledge or permission,” the Fortnite mother explained. “Years of savings gone in 17 days.”

How do kids spend tens of thousands of dollars on online gaming with parents in the dark? Lending family credit or debit cards for occasional small purchases plays a role.
