At Elf Island, we take online safety very seriously. We want you and your children to feel comfortable exploring our virtual world, playing games, and making lots of new friends!
Safety is our top priority, so we have plenty of features in the works to assure Elf Island is a safe environment for players of all ages:
- Moderators – A team of live Moderators watches Elf Island at all times. They review all chat activity for potentially dangerous discussion and are available to address questions and concerns from players or parents.
- Chat dictionary – Elf Island has safe chat through the use of a pre-determined dictionary. If a word is not in our dictionary, then you cannot say it on Elf Island! This helps to cut down on vulgar language, harassment, and the exchange of personal information.
- Parental controls – Parents can view their child’s ban history, track their in-game progress, and set limits on the number of hours they are allowed to play each day.
- Game downtime – To encourage kids to live an active lifestyle and get plenty of rest, Elf Island closes down at the end of each night.
- Approved usernames – All player usernames are reviewed by our Moderation team and must be approved before the user can access the game, using that name.
- COPPA compliance – Elf Island will obtain parental permission before allowing any child into our virtual world. Your personal information will never be shared and your child’s account can be canceled at any time!
Of course, the best way to make sure your child is safe is to keep an open line of communication. Elf Island will do our part to keep our players safe, but ultimately this responsibility lies with the parents. Here are a few quick tips to help keep you and your children safe while online.

I like the Chat dictionary , sounds very good.
And, i forgot to say. How old do you have to be to become a Moderator. I know it’s a paying job, i know alot about online games. But do you have to be 18?
Darren,
All of Elf Island’s Moderators are trained adults and must be at least 18 years old.
