My friends and I play this online game but one of my friends is not allowed by his parents to play for some reason. If i played the online game with him would I be supporting him disobeying his parents?
 
I wouldnt say so, no.

Remind him that his parents have said no, and then just let him be.
 
Yes, if you know he is forbidden by his parents to play. Which, it appears you do know.

You are asking many questions regarding morality and “is this a sin”. You need to talk to your local pastor about your questions and proper instruction in the faith.

With regard to this particular question, knowing his parents do not allow him to play you should avoid inviting him to play the game, setting up a game-playing date with him for this game, encouraging him to play the game, and should decline if he asks you to play it with him.

If it’s an online multiplayer game, you need not avoid the game nor leave if he enters the game without invitation or encouragement from you.

I also wonder if you shouldn’t re-evaluate playing the game yourself. If his parents forbid it, perhaps there is a good reason and you should think about not playing the game either.
 
Yeah, you’d sort of be an accessory to his disobedience. You know he’s not supposed to. If you’re his friend, you should be keeping him on track.
 
Ask your own parents.
If you cannot do that you have your answer.
 
Hello.

Your friend needs to be obedient to his parents. Help your friend be obedient to his parents by not playing the game with him. Yes, you would be supporting him in disobeying his parents if you played the online game with him.

We can be an accomplice to another person’s sin by counsel, by command, by consent, by provocation, by praise and flattery, by concealing the sin, by partaking in the same sin with them, by silence, and by defending the sin (Ripperger, 2013).

You are in my prayers. Please pray for me.

Of course your supporting another’s sin.
Accomplice - not good.
Anyways.
He wobt do it - if you don’t do it - type thing.
Don’t tease or tempt him either.
What online game do you play ?
 
Yeah I haven’t actually played with him yet, the game is fortnite
