Because he is under 18 years old, he did not qualify. However on its website, the Bug Bounty Program does not appear to have an age guideline.

What I learned is that Google, Facebook, Mozilla and PayPal hand out rewards for finding vulnerabilities, except for Microsoft. I guess M$ would go broke if they did!

like everything else it  says that it's 

 

The bug bounty program is subject to change or to cancellation at any point without notice.

so for all we know they may have changed it a while ago,or just now.
