What Are Age-Gated Experiences Or Services?
Hey there, in our previous article, we talked about the topic of customer verification.
Today, we're excited to explore a related topic - age-gated experiences!
We will share some insights on how businesses can create engaging and responsible experiences for their users. So, let's dive in!
What are age-gated experiences?
Age-gated experiences are commonly used by businesses that handle age-restricted products or content, such as alcohol, tobacco, or gambling.
In the UK and Australia, strict laws require businesses to verify the age of customers before selling age-restricted products.
Penalties for non-compliance can be severe, including fines, legal action, and loss of licensing.
By implementing digital verification technologies, businesses can ensure compliance with legal requirements, prevent customer harm, and build trust in age-gated experiences.
It can also create engaging and responsible experiences, leading to brand loyalty and industry leadership.
