1. Commitment to Family Safety
CyberMind Co. Ltd (Lower Rd, London SE16 2XB, United Kingdom) recognizes the importance of creating a secure, balanced, and age-appropriate environment for online gaming. As a digital publisher distributing military tactical strategy experiences across international markets ("Multi-Geo"), our Parental Portal provides parents and guardians with essential tools, age rating breakdowns, and parental control guidelines.
2. Content Classification & Age Ratings
World of Tanks focuses on historical 20th-century tactical armored combat, teamwork, physics, and strategic positioning. The game contains realistic military vehicle depictions without graphic human violence or explicit content:
- PEGI 12 (Pan European Game Information): Rated PEGI 12 due to non-realistic violence towards inanimate objects (tanks/armored vehicles) and optional in-game purchases.
- ESRB Teen (Entertainment Software Rating Board): Rated Teen (T for Teen) in North America for Violence and Simulated Military Action.
- USK 12 (Germany): Approved for players aged 12 and older under German youth protection standards.
3. Parental Controls and Spending Safeguards
While World of Tanks is free-to-play on PC, optional in-game items (such as premium tank models, cosmetic camouflage, or battle pass access) may be purchased. Parents can easily implement safeguards to manage or restrict financial transactions:
A. Restricting Payment Methods
We advise parents not to store saved credit card details or digital wallet credentials on shared family computers. Require password authentication for every transaction within Windows or game launcher settings.
B. Setting Monthly Spending Limits
Through account management controls, guardians can set strict monthly spending caps or completely disable real-money purchasing options on minor accounts.
4. Communication & Online Interaction Safety
In 15v15 team battles, players can communicate using in-game text chat and tactical voice channels. To foster a safe community environment, the following moderation and filtering tools are active:
- Automated Obscenity Filter: Blocks offensive language, hate speech, or inappropriate text in real time.
- Mute & Block Features: Players and parents can instantly mute any team member or disable all non-friend chat communications in game settings.
- Reporting Misconduct: In-game reporting tools enable players to submit misconduct tickets directly to moderation teams for swift action.
5. Promoting Balanced Screen Time
CyberMind Co. Ltd encourages healthy, balanced gaming habits. We recommend parents utilize built-in operating system tools (such as Microsoft Family Safety) to manage daily screen time limits, set scheduled downtime hours, and encourage regular breaks away from digital displays.
