This is a very good step. It would prevent minors from being unnecessarily exposed to gambling since you'll be made to verify yourself before being allowed to gamble.
What about people who look younger than they are? For example an actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Take a look on this picture:
In 2009 he was already 19, but he looked like a someone who just got graduated to middle school. I am 100% sure that casino security would not allow him to gamble, even though is an adult. Here is another example, Dwayne "The Rock Johnson" at age of 15.
He can easily pass selfie requirement or even visit offline casino without asking for ID. That selfie requirement has more disadvantages than advantages.
That is tricky, indeed. There are people who actually do not look their age. Maybe when they start to receive complaints from people being denied gambling because of the way they look, then they will take another step further into KYC verification and ask people to submit their ID card to the application before being allowed to deposit money into casinos.
Maybe it won't happen, as they may be using an advanced artificial intelligence in order to scan each picture to get as much accuracy as possible, so they won't get things wrong.
Still, there are ways to avoid this kinds of age verification and I am sure there will still be underage gamblers getting away with it if they are interested enough into gambling to get out their way to access casinos.
