As online safety laws tighten worldwide, age verification is no longer optional β itβs a legal requirement for businesses in industries like adult content, vaping, gambling, alcohol sales, and more. But not all solutions are equal. Many third-party age verification gateways store sensitive user information, charge businesses high per-verification fees, and create unnecessary privacy risks.
18Verified changes that.
Weβve built the first subscription-based age verification network that protects user privacy, stores zero personal data, and offers flat, predictable pricing for businesses β no matter how many verifications you run.
π Why Global Age Verification is Changing the Game
In 2025, countries around the world β including the UK, USA, Australia, France, Spain, and Germany β began enforcing strict online age verification laws. These rules mean that to access 18+ content or buy age-restricted products online, users must prove their age before entering a site.
For businesses, failing to comply means fines, legal action, and loss of reputation. For users, it means repeated intrusive checks and handing over sensitive ID details to multiple companies.

π Why Businesses Are Switching to 18Verified
Traditional age verification providers charge between Β£0.17 and Β£2.50 per verification. For a site with 50,000 monthly visitors, thatβs Β£8,500 to Β£125,000 a year β just to stay compliant.
With 18Verified, businesses pay one fixed cost, protecting their margins while still meeting legal requirements in multiple countries.
π Industries That Need Age Verification

π‘ Why Privacy Matters in Age Verification
Some third-party providers store copies of your ID, track your visits, or share your data with partners. This is a serious privacy risk and leaves both users and businesses exposed to data breaches.
At 18Verified, we store zero data after verification is complete. We canβt share what we donβt keep.
