Why We Rated This on for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Offers live math homework help.

  • Messages:

    Encourages thinking about future careers and learning.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    The message boards aren't monitored, but activity is low, so they're clean.

  • Consumerism:

    Many of the prizes are gift cards to stores and restaurants, and some site avatars include corporate logos.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About FlyDigits

Parents need to know that the site doesn't monitor or review message board posts. Registration requires a full name, street address, and email. Users select an avatar from images including animals, flowers, and rock stars. Kids are asked for the month and date of their birthday, which are kept private. Email addresses are also kept private and will only be used if kids request a new password or site news. Users under 13 are not supposed to enter contests. But the only age verification is a yes-or-no question for kids under 13 asking if their parents have given consent for them to participate.
