    Hello,

    I'm trying to run a gaming network and I'm interested in subscribing with adsense, however I've read that you have to be 18+ to join the program. Is there any risk involved when I do so anyway? Any way to get around?

    have a talk with your parents or guradian, tell them your situation and what you want to do, hopefully they will understand and join for you with your details.

    You could do this, but if they already have an income, and then you add your adsense income onto that, it might put them into a higher tax bracket (which means, they will get charged more taxes for their earnings (which is really your earnings)

    Yes i know about the Tax bracket (I'm 17 myself) so that's why I wouldn't want to set it up on their name. Does google check up on you when you cash your check?

    Nope Google doesnt and no one would bother if it's less than a hundred dollars!

    The Tax authories do ....have an interest if the amount is higher!

    Don't you have some elder brother or sister or so, who is a student ?

    If however your income is considerable, your guardian shouldn't have any problem in including it in their Tax returns and pay taxes for it...

    Since if you're earning, pay your taxes!

    Don't mean to burst your bubble if thats your site, but Google doesn't permit you to use adsense on sites with 'adsense' in the domain name...

    e.g adsensetaxes. com

    Just do like me, I did develep my sites and forgot about Adsense untill I reached 18, then I started the real bussiness, and yu can't believe the result, focus in your site and how to attrackt people, AdSense is the final step and it is required to to start earning while sleeping ;)

    I think here is no problem in aplying. Just make sure that you enter informations to make yourself above 18. Google dont ckeck your age. They just need your name and address...

    Don't worry they won't check. I use my name, but use my moms SS number. And everything works fine :).
