CLASH ROYALE

MINIMUM AGE: 13+
 
WHAT IS IT?
Clash Royale is a combat multi-player game where players can build their own battle communities.

Clash Royale is a video game based on a similar game: Clash of Clans. Inside Clash Royale you can get the characters that are part of the Clash of Clans world. Currently, Clash Royale has 98 cards with which players can build their deck and start competing against other players.

Every time you win, you can receive a chest, in this chest, you will also receive new cards. You will also get coins to level up your cards, something similar to what was done in Clash of Clans.

WHAT WE SAY:
Treat with caution.

• It’s a fun game where you work as a team.
• There is cartoon violence in the game.
• To protect your bank account, make sure you restrict in-app purchases​.
• This game has a chat feature so always make sure you check to see who your child might be talking to.
• Gambling - With over 1,400,000,000 valid players and prize pools of over 1,000,000$ in their professional tournaments, Clash Royale is currently one of the best mobile games for gambling. Since its launch, Clash Royale has outperformed other games developed by SuperCell, such as Clash of Clans.

SAFETY TIPS TO CONSIDER:

• There is an in-game Settings area accessible via the 'cog' icon that appears on the right hand side of the screen once you start playing. Here, you can Filter Clan Chat, which changes swear words to asterisks. Make sure it is green for On.
• There is no age verification necessary to use the app. Even if there was, 14-year-olds could still play with adults in an unmoderated environment with no reporting facilities within Clan chat.

• Make sure that children and young people always use their device in a room whereby adults are present.
• Discuss 'friends' - there is no such thing as an 'internet friend'. Encourage children and young people to only engage with other users whom adults know in the 'real-world', and that they know and trust.
• Use protection settings, such as time limitations, or only allow social media usage with parental guidance.
• Outline clear rules for your children. Pay attention to their development. As they get older, they should generally be given more freedom.
• Communication will also become more important as children get older. Explain that you are not trying to control them but want to agree upon a set of ground rules.
• Try to stay up-to-date on Internet trends and best practices.
• Talk to your children about the risks of disclosing personal data.
• Have open discussions with children and young people about the topics associated with online use - bullying, grooming, sexual and criminal exploitation, body image, as well as accessing support and how to report.
