To protect your credit card online at Pirate101.com set up a Master Password.
Why?
If you want to have your own account, you should setup a Master Account.
A Master Password allows you to manage personal and billing information for you and your child/children.
A Master Password helps you control what is purchased in your and your child’s/children’s account(s).
How?
Login to your KingsIsle Account
Click "My Account"
Click "Parental Controls"
Click "Create Master Password"
Follow the steps
Do not give your child the email address or password used on the Master Password.
Why?
If your child has that information, he/she may be able to buy Crowns and Memberships without your permission.
If your child has the email address and access to the email account, he/she can request a new password (which will be sent to that email address) and change the password.
Do not allow your child to have access to your credit card or credit card information.
Why?
Anyone in your household who can access the Master Password or has your credit card, can make purchases without your permission.
How?
On the checkout page where you enter your credit card information, do not check the box to “save your billing information".
This will prevent anyone from purchasing new Memberships or Crowns without your permission. Memberships will automatically renew without you re-entering your card.
