EA child account linking eligibility (policy clarification)

Hello,

I’d like to request an official clarification on EA’s child account linking policy.

EA’s account system allows the creation of child accounts under a parent’s supervision.  
These accounts have an EA ID but no independent email or phone credentials.

My question is simple:
Can such EA child accounts be linked to games (for example EA SPORTS FC Mobile), or are they intentionally restricted from linking due to EA’s internal policy?

I’m not reporting a gameplay issue — this is a general question about account-level functionality and policy.

If this limitation is intentional, could EA please confirm it publicly or forward it to the team responsible for EA Account linking policies?

Thank you.

    Thank you, Darko.

    I’ve reviewed the article you shared, and it mentions that “child accounts can’t log in to our websites or use mobile companion apps that require an EA Account login.”

    Could you please confirm whether this also means that child EA accounts cannot be linked to games such as EA SPORTS FC Mobile (even if created under parental supervision)?

    I just want to make sure this is an intentional policy limitation and not a technical issue.

    Appreciate your time and clarity on this.

    We would not have additional information that we can share about child accounts or any restrictions. 

    Many online features will be unavailable for underage accounts.
