233 Park responded to “affiliated with third-party games”: it has removed illegal content and optimized the real-name authentication process

233 Park responded to the previously exposed issue of “the vulnerability of minors being charged fees due to being affiliated with third-party games”, saying that it has taken a number of measures to rectify it. Beijing Longwei Interactive Technology Co., Ltd. (the company that owns 233 Park) stated that it has conducted a comprehensive investigation of third-party games on the platform, removed game content with violations, and simultaneously optimized the real-name authentication process to strengthen the protection mechanism for minors.

It is understood that 233 Paradise, as a game aggregation platform, has previously caused controversy due to issues such as the failure of anti-addiction systems in some third-party games and the lack of secondary verification for recharge. For example, some parents reported that after their children registered using adult identity information, they downloaded games such as "Egg Boy Party" through the platform and accumulated thousands of yuan in recharges in a short period of time. However, the platform requires parents to provide strict evidence such as "recharge scene videos", making refunds difficult. In response, 233 Paradise emphasized in its response that it has re-signed a compliance agreement with third-party game developers, clearly requiring access to the national unified electronic identity authentication system for minors online games, and adding consumption limits and secondary verification functions to the recharge process.

In terms of real-name authentication, 233 Park stated that it has optimized the registration process and added facial recognition technology as a supplementary verification method. Users need to confirm their identity through face scanning or dynamic verification code when logging in for the first time, and need to re-verify every 30 days thereafter. In addition, the platform has also established a "Parent Protection Center" that allows guardians to bind minors' accounts, monitor game duration and consumption records in real time, and set recharge limits remotely.

However, some user feedback shows that the actual effect of the rectification measures is still doubtful. Some parents pointed out that minors can still bypass facial recognition by pretending to use other people's ID information, and some games can still be played offline after downloading, causing the anti-addiction system to fail. Legal experts emphasized that according to the "Regulations on the Internet Protection of Minors", platforms must bear the main responsibility. Relying solely on third-party technology access is not enough to completely avoid risks. An independent content review mechanism and risk warning system need to be established.

As of now, 233 Paradise has not announced the specific list and number of games that have been removed from the shelves, nor has it disclosed whether the optimized real-name authentication system has passed third-party security certification. Industry observers suggest that regulatory authorities should strengthen penetrating supervision of game aggregation platforms, require platforms to regularly disclose compliance reports, and promote the establishment of a cross-platform underage consumption warning database. For parents, they need to strengthen the management of the use of electronic devices, avoid leaking payment passwords, and protect their rights and interests through legal channels.
