Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Require online games have child-only servers to help protect children

Bring in a law that gaming companies hosting online games need to provide child-only servers for UK users, with access limited to under 16s. The Government should require ID and age checks to ensure these servers are only used by children.

More details

There is a huge problem with grooming via online gaming and action is needed to create a safer way for children to play games online.

We believe that requiring child-only servers, with rigorous age and ID checks, would better protect children from online dangers.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
