Age assurance built for regulated betting platforms

Fast, accurate age checks for gambling platforms. Compliance without compromise.

Age Layer delivers discreet, human-reviewed age verification and identity assurance—so you can protect minors, satisfy regulators, and keep user friction minimal.

Why It Matters

The gambling sector is tightly regulated: UK Gambling Commission, EU directives, and region-specific KYC/AML rules demand verified adult users—every time.

Generic identity providers:

Age Layer is tailored for gambling. Built from trust-first principles with human review as standard—our checks help you stay compliant while maximising user experience.

How it works

1

User submits ID + selfie
(or selfie-only flow)

Accepts passports, driver’s licences, national IDs

Sensitive data like name and address can be redacted—only birth date and face must be visible

2

Human-reviewed verification

Reviewers confirm document authenticity, face match, age threshold, and fraud signals—live or via liveness video if flagged

3

Issue trust token or passcode

Users receive a reusable credential (age verified, KYC-friendly) for your platform or partner sites

4

Access decision via contextual rules

Apply logic rules: e.g. “Profiles without verification can’t bet above £100/day”

Escalate edge cases to humans by design
