233 The park was exposed to a minor fee deduction loophole: 942 yuan was deducted from parents without their knowledge, and the anti-addiction system was ineffective.

233 The park has attracted widespread public attention due to the loophole in charging fees for minors. Many parents reported that their children downloaded games and recharged funds through the platform without the consent of their guardians, resulting in a loss of account funds. One parent was deducted 942 yuan without knowing it, and the platform's anti-addiction system failed to effectively intercept such behavior.

According to user feedback, minors usually use their parents’ mobile phones to download and recharge popular games such as “Eggman Party” and “Identity V” through 233 Paradise when completing school homework. For example, while a 9-year-old child was using Grandma’s mobile phone to check in, a single deduction of up to 648 yuan was made through 233 Park, and the cumulative amount exceeded 1,000 yuan. When parents applied for a refund after finding out, the platform required "video evidence of the child recharging", but most families were unable to meet this requirement due to a lack of monitoring equipment, resulting in the refund application being rejected.

From a technical perspective, there are obvious loopholes in the real-name authentication mechanism of 233 Park. Users only need to enter their name and ID number to complete the authentication without facial recognition or other biometric verification. Minors can easily register accounts using adult identity information. In addition, some games do not require secondary verification when recharging, and directly call the password-free payment function of WeChat, Alipay and other payment channels, further lowering the deduction threshold. It is worth noting that the platform does not set a limit on the recharge amount. Minors can frequently deduct fees in a short period of time. In some cases, the single recharge amount even exceeds the monthly income of parents.

Legal experts pointed out that according to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Internet Protection of Minors" and the "Civil Code", online gaming platforms need to bear the main responsibility for the protection of minors. If the recharge behavior of minors over 8 years old exceeds their cognitive abilities, the guardian has the right to request a refund. However, 233 Paradise requires parents to provide stringent evidence such as “recharge scene videos” and has been questioned for deliberately raising the threshold for rights protection. For example, a parent was still asked to supplement the surveillance video after submitting the minor’s identity certificate, payment records and other materials, and was eventually forced to accept a partial refund because he could not provide it.

For parents, they need to strengthen supervision of their children's use of electronic devices to avoid leaking payment passwords, and regularly check account transaction records. If you encounter similar problems, you can submit evidence through platforms such as Black Cat Complaints, or report to the cultural market management department. With the in-depth implementation of the "Regulations on the Internet Protection of Minors", how to balance the development of the game industry and the protection of the rights and interests of minors is still an urgent social issue that needs to be solved.
