    Well basically I wanted to know, when they send me the check, will my bank still accept it. Also because it says that you need to be atleast 18 to use the site. :confused: I still joined and soon I am getting my check. Please Tell me if they I can cash in my check. I have used other Affiliate Programs and have gotten checks from them and it works. So just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

    Today my lucky day: 11 clicks = $9.20 :eek:

    They will know by your Social Security #, your age will be shown. Have a parent fill it out for you or trusting freind thats 18.

    Yep. You're in violation of TOS, so if they check (they usually do a check before sending checks) you may get banned. This is assuming you already filled out the tax info.

    I use EFT for Google. It's faster and I don't have to make any trips to the bank.

    top credit for your accomplishment so far, i would probably get them in your folks name until your of legal age to abbide by a contract in your country - which i think is 18.

    If they actually get round to sending you the check then yes, of course your bank will accept it. They'll accept any check that is made out to you as payee. But as the others have said you are too young (technically) to be an AdSense publisher - they could ban you for dishonesty when you signed up.

    As you arent in the US I would imagine you'd be fine mate, google wont have any way of finding out your less than 18 as you havent given them a SS number.

    Congratulations by the way, good work and long may it continue!!!

    Thank you MOG, and thanks for your help guys, hopefully they won't find out and I get my check. :) Ya and it is quite an achievement from me, some of the adsense users here inspired me with their stories of how they made a lot of money. Thank you all once again.

    Gratz by the way, I made my first $100 at 16 :). Only 17 now though hehe.

    Oh and I used my parents' name to cash in the cheque.

    I'm also 16 and was wondering the same thing, as i have around $40 in adsense. What if you used direct deposit into a bank account, surely they wouldn't know then?

    I am 17 now, but I registered when I was 16. The thing is that I've placed my father's name under "Payee" name. So far, I received 4-5 checks - not a single problem ;)

    The thing is that I put my name instead of my parents. And when I tried putting my dad's name, you can't. You can't edit the Payee name. :( But I guess it's alright...

    Thank you :) BTW what is eft and how can I use it.
