Gaming & iGaming — age-verification workflow

Age-verification workflow for gaming & iGaming

Designed for UK Online Safety Act, EU Digital Services Act and gambling-licence age-gating workflows. AI age estimation from a selfie, document-DOB extraction fallback and a developer API — with the final decision owned by your operator.

⚠️
Scope — please read. TrustVerifyID provides age-estimation and document-DOB workflow support for COPPA / UK-OSA / EU-DSA / gambling-licence age gating. It is not a certified age-assurance provider and is not on any regulator's approved-provider list. The final age-decision outcome and its regulatory consequences remain the operator's. Where law explicitly requires a certified provider, use one.

Age & Player Verification Features

🎂

AI Age Estimation

Facial DEX/SSR-Net model estimates age from a selfie with no document required. <1s response time. Ideal for low-friction gates.

🪪

Extract date of birth from any government ID. Higher accuracy for gambling and licensed platforms where document evidence is required.

🎮

Configurable Thresholds

Set any age threshold — 13, 16, 18, 21. Get a simple boolean pass/fail response with confidence score. No raw age returned to protect privacy.

🌍

Geofencing / Jurisdiction

Block access from restricted regions automatically. Combine with device fingerprint to detect VPNs and geo-spoofing.

🔐

Privacy-first by design

Age result only — no PII stored beyond the minimum. Operator-set retention on the underlying biometric and document. DPIA inputs available on request.

🔁

Reusable age token

Issue a single-attribute reusable age-verified token so returning users do not repeat the flow on the same operator. GDPR-aligned, scoped to the age attribute only.
