For the safety of your account, and the safety of the site overall, we must remind all of our players to never give out your password to a third-party other than your parent or our Customer Service team. Whether that’s a friend, a cousin, someone you met online, or a website promising you gifts, your password must be protected. Giving out your password is a violation of the Webkinz.com User Agreement.
It is also a violation of the User Agreement to use Webkinz or affect your account in any way not intended by the game itself. Doing so can lead to your account being permanently closed, or having your progress cleared (including removing items).
You can read the full User Agreement here.
At Webkinz, safety is extremely important to us, and we’ve made our rules with safety in mind. We thank all of our great players for playing within those rules.
This is an important reminder to the Webkinz community. I have know people, some my friends, to give out private info, such as passwords, to their friends to show that they are true friends. I know it is not ok to do that and I keep to that. I have never given out my passwords to anyone and I will continue to keep them private.
Are you allowed to GIVE away an account, no monetary compensation, if you’re not using it anymore? I have some kids in my family that have done this, is the new user in trouble? They simply gave accounts to their friends.
I’m pretty sure that if there’s a mutual understanding and trust involved (like if you willingly give it to someone you know), then it’s fine. The trouble arises when people give out their account information without the intent of giving up their actual account, and someone uses that to their advantage and takes it anyways.
Thank you for the reminder!
Awesome. Thanks for the reminder. Never hurts to be safe. I’ve never given out my password to anyone, and my account is safe because of it.
For awhile people were selling “full accounts” on third party sites as well. So a really old account, like my child’s who happened to get a Webkinz as a baby the first time has a large account with lots of old items. People were selling them for lots of money. At one point she even had WJr. It’s sad if they’re taking advantage of kids, but if adults are trying to profit in anyway…. they should have their account removed.
Thanks for the reminder–we should all be cautious with our personal information. I hope everyone will report anyone who asks for your password or other personal information–don’t trust anyone who asks for passwords, codes, or any other protected information.
I know there have been a few players on Amazing World that had some problems. So, the reminder is a good one.
Did someone say out their password? IDK………..
people can be very tricky, they trick older people on the phone for money all the time. never never give any information to anyone.
Thank you for keeping Webkinz world safe. These rules are also important in every other place we go. I would never give any information about me or where I go and what I do to anyone.
