DS earns money from boosting people in games. Should I stop him?

[NameChange9th]

DS is 16 and plays 2 main games. I only just recently found out that he 'boosts' people, apparently it goes against game rules, but he does it anyway (apparently lots of people do) they use his friend's dad's PayPal account.

He usually gets £35 a week.

I have no idea how I should react?

Totally fine as long as he's not playing for longer than you're happy with.

Okay thank you

So he plays as them, in order to increase their stats? It's frowned upon by hard core players, and depending the game and how involved he is in 'the community' could loose him 'friends' if found out. But that's it. If the opinion of a bunch of people he doesn't know doesn't bother him, then it's a pretty easy earner. And it's not illegal to do it.

The people paying for the boosts are the ones who will get banned if caught. It’s their accounts that have been compromised.

My DS does this . Not so much now but did .

Got paid in Bitcoins and has since used some to buy stuff online . The goods actually turn up as well , usually candy or something for his computer.

SD I don't know about OPs son but my DS just likes their videos . He does not play the game as them or himself . Just the Likes.
