Fortnite players are getting bans with a weird message “Ask parents for help”

Fortnite players started complaining during the weekend about the emerging messages informing about the suspension of their accounts.

The case of this type of bans is nothing new, the accounts were suspended for this reason already in 2019. Something apparently changed in a system detecting a violation, because, during the weekend, a lot of entries appeared on this subject.

Mainly about consoles, where Epic demanded additional verification. It is not difficult, but actually, the message sent by developers can scare.

“Ask your parent for help”

The message that shows when entering Fortnite informs that a person must have the consent of parents to play. In the case that this will not be granted within 30 days, the account will be deleted. Yes, the whole Fortnite account.

Verification is about giving an email that a message comes asking you to confirm the age of a given player. This is about a magical barrier of 13 years old. If you entered the accounts below 13 in the account properties, then you can expect such a message.

Of course, you can easily “cheat” it by giving your email or just age over 18 years. It is interesting that all this topic appeared again, apparently Epic changed something in the verification system, although there is no official information on this subject.
