Parents should know that while the games cover everything from arcade action to anagrams, some feature gambling and betting. Kids can buy a Neopian lottery ticket and buy and sell virtual stocks.

Kids and children inhabit the same space together on Neopets. However, while they share the same space, Neopets does have safeguards in place to help parents control what their kids are able to do and see. Kids under 13 have restricted access to certain features, including the forums and messaging systems (which are monitored). Neopets also limits information collected for children.
