IDCheck.io Approved by KJM for Age Verification

The Commission for Youth Media Protection (KJM) has confirmed that the AI-based identity verification solution IDCheck.io from IDnow is suitable for age verification. This means that IDCheck.io can now be used for age verification in gambling offerings in Norway.

IDCheck.io Compliance with Youth Media Protection State Treaty

In a press release on January 9th, KJM announced that the age verification system IDCheck.io has been positively evaluated and is in line with the Youth Media Protection State Treaty (JMStV), allowing it to be used for age verification in gambling offerings.

IDCheck.io is an AI-based, fully automatic solution for online age verification. It verifies the authenticity of identity documents and the identity of the holders. This provides customers with real-time identity verification for quick access to gambling offerings and other restricted content.

Regulations in the Youth Media Protection State Treaty

The Youth Media Protection State Treaty mandates that certain youth-endangering content can only be distributed online with restricted access. Users must confirm their legal age before accessing such content, including gambling, video games, or pornographic offerings. Technical means are used to ensure age verification, with solutions like IDCheck.io meeting KJM’s positive evaluation.

IDCheck.io Making Inappropriate Content Inaccessible to Minors

IDnow states that there are online areas unsuitable for children and teenagers, yet their curiosity drives them to seek out and access these sites. Regulation is also demanded for loot boxes due to their gambling-like elements. Suitable controls are necessary for these sites, and a simple checkbox for age confirmation is not enough.

Thanks to KJM’s positive evaluation, IDCheck.io can now be used for online age verification in youth-endangering video and browser games, gambling offerings, and pornographic content, contributing to child and youth protection.
