How does this impact KYC?
Full KYC (know your customer) checks can be on the more expensive side, whereas AgeChecked offers clients a more cost-effective option yet still ensuring you are LCCP compliant. AgeChecked offers a fully anonymised and secure age verification and does not store any customer information once the verification check has been done.
A Process that Makes Things Simple
In May 2017, the UK Gambling Commission revised the LCCP relating to the verification of the age and identity of gambling customers.
It was decided that the 72 hour verification period was no longer effective and that Operators would now be required to verify the age of customers before they can access free-to-play and real-money-gaming sites, to reduce the risk of children being exposed to gambling products. This means that an effective age verification solution for gambling with a smooth onboarding process is more important than ever.
With AgeChecked, players can verify their identity immediately by using various methods. This simplicity means more age passes for people who are of the legal age to gamble, which is the best result for the customer and the provider.
