Child Account can't purchase free games with gold

there is 2 possibilities that could be causing this

1. You dont have a payment option on the account. yes even for the free 360 games you have to have a payment option on the account.

2. Your account is a child account. child accounts can not purchase 360 games even the free ones for games with gold.

There seems to be no solution to this problem if a child account is the one with Xbox Live Gold and you don't have an Xbox 360.

The parent account does not have the ability to get the Xbox Live Gold game for free.

The child account gets the message "Your account is unable to make this type of purchase on Xbox.com".

With that message. It indicates that the account you're trying to use to claim the free gold is a child account. You need to change the privacy settings of this account to allow paid purchases.

Hi

Thanks for the prompt responses. So are you all saying I can't share my xbox Gold with two child accounts, but i can with one child account. This is how it has been working but I want to limit screen time for my kids and this is why I setup a second Child
account.

Could I move my gold subscription to one of the child accounts and share it this way?

I really don't want to purchase a second gold subscription.

ok depends 1st you must have a payment option on filefile to validate if you are an adult or not

Unless the price shows as 15 bucks it is still free as long as you have gold not home gold

And yes home gold only applies on the Xbox one not Xbox 360 marketplace

And no child accounts can't make purchases without an adults consent on an 360 console
