    Hi Yang, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Your Xbox account age starts from the Date of Birth you entered when creating your profile online.

    Once you hit 18, it becomes an adult account automatically. Just make sure your birthday on the account is correct.

    You can check it here: https://support.microsoft.com/accou...-account-837badbc-999e-54d2-2617-d19206b9540a

    If your Date of Birth is correct, try adding a payment method and billing information to your Microsoft Account.

    Sign in to the Microsoft account you want to update.

    https://account.microsoft.com/

    Go to Payment & billing and select Payment options.

    You can add or edit payment options here.

    If that still does not work, the best course of action is to contact Support and provide the necessary information to validate your date of birth.

    Please enter this link for web chat: https://support.xbox.com/contact-us

    If you prefer to contact them by phone, use this link: https://support.microsoft.com/help/28808/microsoft-store-contact-support

    You can also request a callback: https://support.microsoft.com/home/contact

    I hope this helps.

    Hello Yang,

    Did you contact support to verify your age?

    To disable the Ask to Buy option, you need to be the Family Organizer.

    Please, access the site using an alternative browser or enable your browser's InPrivate mode.

    To use InPrivate mode on Microsoft Edge, click the three dots on the top right of the screen and select "New InPrivate Window".

    You can also press CTRL+SHIFT+N keys together on your keyboard.

    Sign in to your account: https://account.microsoft.com/family/settings/spending/3226931816649015798

    Switch "Require approval for every purchase" to Off.

    same answer, EA games require you to be 13 or older to play games online your only option is to wait til your old enough there is nothing else you can do, sorry.
