Acceptable for age verification purposes include:
- Confirmation of credit card ownership or other form of payment where mandatory proof that the holder is 18 or over is required prior to issue.
- A reputable personal digital identity management service which uses checks on an independent and reliable database, such as the electoral roll.
- Other comparable proof of account ownership which effectively verifies age.

Plus the tax thing, this is a different issue.
So EU is going to disable cookies so can't use affiliate tracking, also can't show anything naked prior to payment made. Long live the russian webmasters?

All this will mean to the rest of us is there will be a lot of cheap UK based sites to buy or move traffic away from. The big ones will move out of the UK or license and adapt.
The porn industry doesn't rely on UK sites, it relies far more on UK based buyers. They will still be there. Not heard anything about it becoming law, here in CZ and will wait until I do.
