In summary, Google AdSense does not have a strict age requirement, but users under 18 years old must have a parent or guardian manage their account. This is to comply with legal restrictions and ensure users are of legal age to enter agreements and receive payments. If a user under 18 has parental consent, they can still use AdSense but their parent or guardian must manage the account. Lying about age when signing up can result in account suspension or termination. There are no exceptions to the age requirement, as it is necessary to comply with legal regulations and protect the privacy and rights of minors.

In the registration process they say that the payee must be 18 years of age or older to register, but I was wondering if someone under 18 could register using a custodial bank account, since technically (i think) the true payee is the adult who started the custodial account for the minor. Would this be the case? Is the true payee the minor or the adult?

Thanks!
