Hi,
I am a complete gaming technophobe so please be gentle! My son is a massive gamer and he loves Roblox so much it's become his raison d'etre. I allow him a few pounds every week out of his pocket money to buy Robux. My bank details are on Google Play. He is warned to not go over his limit and I have password protected it. However, he changed his pass-code on his phone to fingerprint ID. Imagine my shock when I found out he had spent over £100 in one month on Robux!! I went mental and got it out of him what had happened. He had been able to pay for Robux using his fingerprint ID, completely bypassing my password control. His punishment is to have no pocket money until Xmas! He knows it was wrong and has apologised.
My issue is how the fcuk can this have happened, that the fingerprint ID bypassed my password control? Do I have a case here against Google Play, or was it entirely my fault?
It's def a warning for parents out there! My bank details are now deleted off Google Play and won't be reinstated.
