Best for ages 8+
Thanovic is a Rocket League tutorial channel aimed at players who want to get better at the game.

KidWatch Assessment
Thanovic is a Rocket League tutorial channel aimed at players who want to get better at the game. The content is focused and practical, walking viewers through specific mechanics step by step with clear instructions and free play drills. There's nothing edgy or inappropriate here. It's just a guy who's good at a video game explaining how to improve.
The tone is calm and encouraging, never condescending. He talks to his audience like they're capable of figuring things out with a little guidance. That's genuinely refreshing compared to louder, more chaotic gaming channels. Younger or newer players would find it easy to follow along.
The one thing parents should know is that sponsorships and self-promotion show up regularly. He plugs paid courses, earbuds brands, and his own social media pretty often. It's not aggressive or manipulative, but it's consistent. Kids who are impressionable about spending money on gaming resources might start asking about paid courses after watching.
Flagged Moments from Top Videos
The creator promotes a third-party earbuds brand (Raycon) with a full sponsor read, referencing celebrity endorsements. It's a standard YouTube sponsorship but feels out of place in a kids' gaming tutorial.
He promotes a paid ranked-improvement course with a limited-time discount code, creating mild urgency around spending money. Kids watching may feel pressure to ask parents to purchase it.
The video opens with promotion of a Twitter giveaway and a paid course before any actual content begins, front-loading commercial messaging in what kids expect to be a pure tutorial.
What Parents Should Know
Know that he has a paid Rocket League course he mentions regularly across videos, so be ready for your kid to ask about it.
Check in on any external links your kid clicks from his descriptions, since they lead to third-party course platforms and social media.
Feel comfortable letting most ages watch this unsupervised as far as content goes, the game and the tutorials are both genuinely age-appropriate.
Use this channel as a jumping-off point if your kid is frustrated with the game, since the structured drills he recommends are actually solid and constructive.
Remind younger kids that sponsor segments are advertisements, since the Raycon-style reads can blend into the tutorial content pretty seamlessly.
Recommended for ages 8+.
