This had been the main issue in online gambling. Minors had been flocking to the online Casino site without any restrictions. They can blatantly access gambling sites with their parents' cards, fake their identities and so on. Germany does tackle this issue seriously and recently German Commission for the Protection of Minor in the Media (KJM). had a deal with Incode Technologies, a US-based specialist in biometric identity for the age verification solution.[1]

The German government is very inclined that it will help greatly in protecting minors because of its advanced technology.

Incode Technologies, a US-based specialist in biometric identity, has its age verification solution approved by the German Commission for the Protection of Minor in the Media (KJM).

‘Legal Certainty’ to Providers
The age verification solution provided by Incode Technologies verifies users against data from their ID cards, comparing their image on the card with a real-time selfie.

The technology facilitates the age verification process by providing guidelines to ensure the optimum scan of the ID card and photo of the user and once complete, the service performs tests to confirm authenticity and issues a score.

But I still wonder if this kind of technology is effective enough for those minors who use their parent's access accounts to gambling sites. Will this be able to detect such action? Will this kind of technology can trully protect minors and prevent them to access gambling sites?

If the minors steal IDs from their parents, doesn't that mean that their parents aren't actually monitoring them as they should? Shouldn't the parents be blamed for this and not the casino. It is the responsibility of the parents to know what their kids are doing.

Anyway, most casino will require them to hold their ID and take a selfie. They won't be able to do that. Initial verification might not require that, but they eventually will have to.

Blaming the casino is not much a smart action to made since many people know the risk upon going there and if there parents notice that there children is already engaging on it then they get addicted then the blame should goes to them. Casino is there doing there own business so parents make sure that they are in control with their child because the first education about this start at home.

And since Selfie verification is now needed for sure this will lessen up the minors engaging on gambling sites so this is good action made by casino and the legal implementing bodies which require it to have on platform which deal money to their costumers.
