The Challenge
Verification fatigue is real
Every new site means another ID scan, another selfie, another form. Users abandon. Data exposure compounds.
Repeated friction
Age verification on every site, every time. ID scans, selfies, forms — the friction compounds across the web.
Unnecessary data exposure
Each verification collects personal data. Face scans, IDs, credit cards — every check is another privacy risk.
Drop-off at the gate
Users already verified elsewhere still face full verification. Unnecessary friction kills conversion.
How It WOrks
Users arrive verified before they reach you
Most age credentials work on one site. AgeKey works across the internet. Verified once, accepted at any compatible site.

Use cases
Where AgeKey makes the difference
Streaming & community
Content and feature gating
Challenge
Age gates on channels and features interruptthe session. Every gate is an exit point.
With AGEKEY
One biometric tap to select and use AgeKey clears every gate. Users move freely.
Result
Near-zero verification friction.
Social Media
Age-appropriate experiences
Challenge
Regulators demand real age checks. Age verification friction can drive drop-off.
With AGEKEY
Users arrive pre-verified. A biometric tap, not a document upload.
Result
Compliance without sacrificing growth.
GAMING
Multi-title publishers
Challenge
Multiple titles, multiple jurisdictions. Each age check costs money and loses players.
With AGEKEY
Verify once, save AgeKey. Every subsequent title or new play surface is just one tap away.
Result
Fractions of a cent per verification.
