My bank lets me set up a kid debit card, I can see and approve purchases and set limits.

Also, IMO kids should either ask their parents to buy a game for them, or be old enough to have their own bank account.

Giving your kid a credit card is how they end up with a gambling addiction because AAA is an unsanctioned casino.
