Like other games with in-app purchases, it warns you that it contains them before you install it. As for underaged children, they're not meant to be playing the game (it's rated Teen) so of course special treatment won't get added for them. It's up to parents to make sure that their kids can't easily spend their money without their permission.
Here's a mobile game addict of 19
.....At the height of the controversy surrounding microtransactions in Star Wars Battlefront 2, a Reddit user who goes by the name XXXXXX posted an open letter to publisher EA and other developers in the video game industry. "I am 19 and addicted to gambling," he wrote. XXXXXX wasn't talking about roulette tables or online poker. He was talking about spending over $17,000 on in-game purchases over the last several years.

In yet another story that demonstrates both a clear lack of parental supervision over digital devices and a company’s ability to prey on addicts of free-to-play games, a 15-year-old boy in Belgium racked up a credit card bill of 37,000 Euros (over $46,000) while playing Machine Age’s “Game of War: Fire Age” online strategy game.
According to Flemish publication Nieuwsblad, the teenager used his grandfather’s credit card to purchase in-game gold that would improve his performance within the game. While free to download and play, the in-game gold purchases help a player build a city as well as an army to compete more effectively against opponents, similar to the “Civilization” franchise.
Just sayin'
