Family sharing set up fine - BUT - now asked to pay for games again

I set up family sharing for my son's account - all worked fine.

set up his game center account

downloaded CIV6 (from "already purchased" via my linked account)

click to play


now asked to either;

  • unlock full game = $19.95
  • play 60 turns
  • restore purchases


Tried to restore purchases - but that is on MY apple ID, not my sons


how is this supposed to work??

Cheers
