What it is

Players under 18 must have parental or guardian consent to use Riot Games services, and players under 13 (or the applicable age in their country) are not permitted to use the services at all.

This analysis describes what Riot Games's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause creates a three-tier access framework that conditions service availability on either age status or documented parental authorization, establishing the contractual foundation for account validity and Terms enforceability across different user categories.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Parents of minor players should be aware that their consent is required for account creation, and that Riot may collect personal data from minors subject to applicable privacy laws including COPPA in the US. Unauthorized use by minors could result in account termination.
