We at SpankBang are committed to provide an enjoyable and memorable experience for all users, and as a part of this commitment we are introducing the age verification process that is in accordance with the rules and regulations set in the United Kingdom. We would like to seize this opportunity to explain what this new UK age verification system means, why its implementation is necessary, and how it will work in the near future. 

Why are we introducing Age Verification? 

The UK government implemented a law labeled the Online Safety Act 2023, which requires adult websites hosting explicit content, like SpankBang, to ensure that no one under 18 can access it. This regulation was introduced to make the internet safer for young people by preventing them from seeing material that might not be appropriate for their age. Ofcom is the regulator for such websites in the UK, and they are tasked with ensuring that adult sites comply with their requests. This Age Verification system will go live by the end of June 2025 on SpankBang, making our platform safe and legal for everyone. 

Starting soon, all visitors who would like to access our website from the UK will need to verify their age through our AI Age estimation process. This is a simple, secure and respectful way to honor your privacy and to ensure that only legally permitted people can view SpankBang. We went with an AI based facial estimation technology, as this process is fast, and it does not force Users to scan in their ID or other personal details. Our website aims to provide a private and safe space to people who want to enjoy erotic content, and by keeping in line with UK privacy laws and GDPR requirements, we strive to keep your information safe. No personal data will be stored.

If you opt out of verifying your age when visiting our site and if you are from the United Kingdom, you will not be able to view SpankBang’s content. This is required to ensure that only legally permitted people can check out our website, and by law we are required to block access to anyone who hasn’t proven that they are above the age of 18.  As the verification process is quick and simple, we encourage our UK based visitors to follow these age verification steps. 

Our Commitment to Compliance 

We take responsibility when it comes to following the law, and we take these regulations seriously. Our team at SpankBang is working tirelessly to meet all the requirements set forth in the Online Safety Act of 2023, and we are committed to make our platform a safe and trusted place for our adult users.

We are striving to implement this Age verification in a way that remains respectful of your privacy, without intruding much on your viewing experience, and to keep us compliant with UK laws. Our online community deserves the option to freely enjoy their favorite videos and genres, and we will aim to provide this safety while protecting younger people from accessing inappropriate content.
