UK Age Verification, XHamster To Us 1Account
 

xHamster believes the 1Account AV system is the most convenient and least intrusive of all options, and since it was built for nonadult uses such as mobile payment verification, there is no stigma associated with using it. 1Account does not store any personal user information, does not track any data after age-verification, and like xHamster, is 100 percent free to use, while allowing the user to choose the easiest and most comfortable verification method, including via mobile phone number (EE, O2, Vodafone and Three), as well as a valid U.K. credit or debit card, drivers’ license or a U.K. Citizen Card.

Big players are not going to want to share their data with companies that run competing adult websites.

What data?

Regulations state that data cannot be saved at any time during the verification process. Also ads cannot be displayed on any pages, or pop-ups/understand,redirects to sites other than the one being verified, etc.

There is still a lot of data available to the company confirming that a website's UK visitors are of age. Whether they save it or not, the age verification service is processing it.

There are 100% free options built outside our industry for this. Why bother paying?

What are some good solutions that are free for the user and the webmaster?

I saw this on the YNOT PR site this morning...

It will be interesting to see how each of the biggest adult sites deal with the age verification issue.

Very interesting thread!
