How often can one get a credit card at under the age of 18?

Surely that is a decent measure of it.

Also age of account? Mine is 21 in just over a week...

Then there will be a market for steam accounts (if there isn't one yet)

There definitely is already a resale market for Steam accounts, mostly used by cheaters or scammers who want a legitimate-looking account with no game or trade bans.

You would have to get a credit card though.

I don't have one and I don't want one. A debit card is good enough for me and those are possible and common to get before you turn 18.

I also imagine it's easier for kids to get their parents to enter their credit card details compared to an ID card without asking questions.

Same way as most kids got gta at 13

Or on the stock market or gambling which this is basically a mix of.
