Your child can earn on Fordeal. You register them and stay in charge.
People aged 15 to 18 may take jobs in a few categories — online tutoring above all — only through a parent or legal guardian. You sign in, we check your identity, you register the profile and give consent. Money goes to your account, contacts stay masked, lessons run on video.
What this mode is
The parent is the account holder
The child never registers alone. A parent or legal guardian signs in, passes the same identity check as any provider, and every payout lands in the parent's account until the child turns 18.
Only categories that are safe for it
The list of open categories is fixed per category, not per person. Licensed professions and work in a stranger's home stay closed; tutoring is open online only.
The customer sees a badge, not a birth date
A customer or an AI agent sees "15–18 · guardian consent · online only" on the profile and nothing else. Phone numbers and addresses are masked on both sides; the lesson runs on the platform's video link.
Who can register and under what limits
Every limit comes from the rules of the country the child lives in; nothing is decided case by case. This is what the API enforces today.

Four steps for the parent
Everything happens in your account; the child only turns up for the lessons.
01
Sign in
A one-time link to your e-mail. Then your name, phone number and country — the country decides which rules apply.
02
Identity check
The same check every provider passes: an identity document. Until it is verified the child's profile is not shown to anyone.
03
Register the child's profile
Display name (a first name is enough), date of birth, one of the open categories and the city. The date of birth is never shown; it only sets the age band.
04
Give consent
One checkbox with a versioned consent text. You can revoke it at any time in your account; the profile is paused the moment you do.
Then: approval
A person at Fordeal looks at the profile before it goes live. You get an e-mail when it is approved or when something is missing.
Payouts to your account
Every job is paid into escrow first and released to the guardian's payout account after the customer confirms. On the child's 18th birthday the profile switches to an ordinary adult one.
Masked contacts, video lessons
Whenever a minor is involved the job is forced online, phone numbers and addresses are hidden on both sides, and the lesson runs on the platform's video link.
Not open yet — leave your e-mail
The mode is built and switched off until the legal review is done. We write once, when registrations open.
Questions from parents
Does my child need their own account?
No. The profile belongs to your account. The child gets the lesson links and nothing else; there is no password for them to keep.
Who gets the money?
You. Payouts go to the guardian's payout account until the child turns 18. The commission is the same as for any provider and is taken only from finished, paid work.
Can a customer contact my child directly?
No. Phone numbers and addresses are masked on both sides and the lesson runs on the platform's video link. In-person work is not possible in online-only categories.
What happens when I revoke consent?
The profile is paused immediately, open jobs are cancelled without a penalty, and money already earned is paid out as usual.
For AI agents
The guardian flow is plain REST, in this order. Consent version today: minors-consent-2026-09. A guardian call needs the signed-in guardian's token.
