Mostly because of a child protection law in the US called COPPA. If sites can't guarantee to protect kids' privacy, then they can't have users under 13.

Between the ages of 13-15 Second Life can be accessed but this is limited to an affiliated organization and is restricted to its private estate. All Avatars must be approved by the organization.

Can you get into Second Life if you are 11?

You can't. The youngest age allowed into Second Life is 13, because the program is rated "TEEN" by the ESRB. 13-17 year olds can only play Teen Second Life (teen.secondlife.com). You must be 18+ to play the regular version of Second Life.


How old do you have to be to play Second Life?

Previously in Second Life, during the time of Teen Grid, you could be 13 and play Second Life on the Teen Grid. The teen grid was shut down, however, around 2011. You have to be 16 or over to play Second Life now, and if you are under 18, you will be restricted to the areas with the rating of G, or General.


Why thirteen for second life?

This is based upon the ESRB game rating of "TEEN". Teen Second Life is rated "Teen". Second Life is not for teens. You must be 18+ to play Second Life. However, if you are between the ages of 13-17, you can play Teen Second Life (teen.secondlife.com). Teen SL is a completely separate world from regular SL. It operates on the same platform, but you cannot access the regular SL world from Teen SL. The reason you need to be at least 13 to play Teen SL (other than being a "teen") is because the virtual world is not suitable for younger children. The activities in-world are partially uncontrolled and hence, lots of things can happen that aren't appropriate under 13.
