The "Online Game Minors Parent Supervision Project" is a project jointly initiated and implemented by
domestic
online game companies and guided by the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China. It is a
social
public welfare action aimed at strengthening parental supervision of minors' participation in online games,
guiding minors to participate in online games in a healthy and green way, and harmonizing family
relationships.
It provides a practical method, a channel for parents to implement monitoring, making it possible for
parents
to correct the behavior of some of their minor children who are addicted to games. This social public
welfare
action fully reflects the high sense of social responsibility of the Chinese online game industry, its
concern
for the legitimate rights and interests of minor players, and its desire to create a harmonious society
through
practical actions.
Tips for Minors to Participate in Online Games in a Healthy Way
With the popularity of the Internet among young people, it has become a common phenomenon for minors to
access
online games. In order to protect the healthy participation of minors in games, parents should also
strengthen
supervision and guidance under the premise that the government further strengthens industry management. To
this
end, we provide the following suggestions for minors to participate in online games:
1. Actively control the game time. Games are just a diversion from study and life. You should actively
participate
in various offline activities and let your parents understand your behavior and experience in online games.
2. Do not participate in game settings that may take up a lot of time. Do not play large-scale role-playing
games or games with PK settings. School students should play games for no more than 2 hours a week and spend
no more than 10 yuan on games per month.
3. Do not use games as spiritual sustenance. Especially when you encounter pressure and frustration in real
life, you should communicate more with family and friends, and do not rely solely on games to relieve
stress.
4. Develop a positive and healthy gaming mentality. Overcome the psychology of comparison, showing off,
hatred
and revenge, and avoid forming bad online behavior habits such as bullying the weak and robbing others.
5. Pay attention to protecting personal information. Including personal family and friend identity
information,
home, school, unit address, phone number, etc., to prevent network traps and cybercrime.
Parent Guardianship Application Process
The parental supervision system fully considers the actual needs of parents. When parents find that their
children
are too addicted to games, they can provide legal guardian qualification certificates, game name and
account,
and parents' wishes for the intensity of restrictions. Several restrictive measures can be taken on the
accounts
of children who are addicted to games to solve the problem of minors being addicted to online games, such as
limiting the time period and length of children's games every day, limiting games to weekends, or completely
prohibiting them.
Application requirements:
1. The applicant must be the legal guardian of the minor under guardianship;
2. The applicant’s guardian must be under 18 years old;
3. The applicant must be a mainland citizen, excluding people from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Application materials:
1. Guardian information form (including a copy of the guardian's ID);
2. Guardian information form (including information about the games played by the guardian and a copy of the
ID);
3. Fill out the application form, guarantee letter, and authorization letter for parental guardianship of
minors
in online games and sign them manually (need to download, fill in, print, and sign);
4. Documents proving the guardianship relationship between the applicant and the guardian (household
registration
book or certification documents issued by relevant authorities).
