#Spriggy Pocket Money uses #Indue - yes, the "cashless welfare" company - to run its pocket money for kids service. This includes managed restrictions on where kids can spend money. In the Product T&Cs, section 10:

"The Prepaid Card is not able to be used at the following types of merchants:
• Bars, Taverns, Nightclubs, Cocktail Lounges and Discotheques
• Package Stores – Beer, Wine and Liquor
• Cigar Stores and Stands
• Betting, including Lottery Tickets, Casino Gaming Chips, Off-Track Betting and Race
Tracks
• Money Remitters
• Dating and Escort Services.
Other restricted categories which we reasonably consider are inappropriate uses of the Prepaid
Cards may be added at any time without notice. Indue may also block transactions at any
merchants from time to time without providing notice.
The Prepaid Card cannot be used for the purchase of any pornographic material or services. If
we become aware that the Prepaid Card is being used for such purchases, Indue reserves the
right to cancel the Prepaid Card and any associated Parent Wallet."

But wait, there's more:
Parents can set up the "Jobs" feature. It works like this (quote from https://www.spriggy.com.au/howitworks)

1. Set paid or unpaid jobs for your kids so they know what chores they have to do
2. They can see their jobs and tick them off once complete
3. You approve jobs once you're happy they're done
4. Your kids are paid instantly from your Parent Wallet if it's a paid job

Just a fun and totally normal way for kids to learn ~the value of money~ ~independence~ how to labour in a world of transactional value.
