This question is asked, over and over and over again. Here is a simple answer.

First thing you do is go into the pirates online site (piratesonline.com)

  • Then click help, and click chat "Contact Us"
  • Click "Live Chat"
  • It will then ask you to login, you do that. And then you can talk to a Potco staff member and ask the question, "How do I get open chat" or "Can you allow me open chat".

Then they will ask you a few questions, and you should be able to go from there..

Not necessarily true, they can get parental permission with a link to their parents email, but the parents have to do it for them I believe.

Disney won't allow parents to change it at all!! We even did a live chat with then and they said I had to wait...... I didn't and made a new account.......

How do I get access to Parental Controls?

  1. To access Parental Controls for a child's account, you must have a validated adult account.
  2. Go to the Account Manager page on the web site. You will be asked either to log in to your existing account or to register for a new account.
  3. Once you are logged in, click on the " Link an Existing Account " button to link your child's account to your account.
  4. Once linked, have your child log in, click the My Account tab and click " Enable Parental Controls ." An e-mail will be sent to the Parent's E-mail address with instructions on how to set your child's chat level and become a Parental Authority. To see which Parent's E-mail address is on file, have your child click the Account Details tab.
