A few years ago, when I was 14/15, I was trying to talk my parents into getting me a debit card. A few different cards were available to teenagers and could be loaded with money by parents.
Both Visa and Mastercard allowed parents to get their teens debit cards that, according to the sites, could be used anywhere Visa and/or Mastercard were accepted, including online.
It had been a few years since I was looking into this, and I am not sure if these cards are even still around (this was about 3 or 4 years ago).
Minors could actually but violent games online using these cards. However, the parents were the ones getting them the cards, loading the cards with money, and allowing their kids to buy things online.
