is becoming a
market access gap.

experience
A live database of what the law requires across 200+ jurisdictions. Curated by a team of regulatory compliance attorneys and updated daily.
A single API call adapts specific features (like chat, video or loot boxes) or gates entire experiences depending on the user’s age and each region’s laws.
32,000 rules.
200+ markets.
One API.
An age and a jurisdiction go in. A configured session comes back, with every permission already set to what that market requires. Drag the globe, or pick a market.
And it keeps
up on its own.
The platform’s regulatory intelligence, with lawyers in the loop, is updated with the latest regulation and guidance every day. Nothing to patch, nothing to re-ship.

Open your product
to every age.
Compliance is the floor, not the point. What you get back is the audience you were turning away and the features you had to cut.
01
Under-13s, properly
Verifiable parental consent in the flow, COPPA and GDPR-Kids grade. The audience you were turning away at the door becomes one you can actually serve.
02
Teens get the real product
Chat, voice, user content and multiplayer stay on for teens wherever the market allows, and close only where it does not. No blanket lockdown.
03
Parents on your side
Family Connect gives a guardian one place to approve, set limits and stay informed. Approval takes minutes, not a support ticket and a screenshot. And parents stay in the loop on teen activities without violating their privacy.
04
Commerce stays open
Young users can still make purchases, with a parent's approval and spending limits that match local rules. No need to switch purchases off for everyone.
05
Adults get straight in
Adults prove their age once, get an AgeKey and reuse it wherever it’s accepted. No repeat checks across apps, games and platforms.
Built for every platform
with users of every age.
