Minigame Age-Rating Notice Setup Guide

In accordance with the "Regulations on the Protection of Minors Online", the "Law on the Protection of Minors", the "Notice on Preventing Minors from Becoming Addicted to Online Games", the "Age-Appropriate Notice for Online Games" group standard, and other laws and standards, online game service providers must classify game products, provide age-appropriate notices, and adopt technical measures in accordance with relevant national regulations and standards, and must not allow minors to access games or game features unsuitable for them.

Minigames now support the age-rating notice setup capability. After a developer completes the setup, it must be submitted for platform review. Once approved, the platform will uniformly assist in displaying the notice mark to users on the launch screen.

Developers, please complete the age-rating notice setup as soon as possible based on your game's actual situation, to avoid impacting your operational capabilities or incurring corresponding legal liabilities.
