As a performer and small site owner, am I to understand that you usually sell sexual material and you don't perform any check to make sure that they are not kids? How are you making sure that users are of age other than the "I am 18: ENTER" button? Maybe you take credit cards and can check their age through that? Do you take crypto or wallets that don't require 18+?

Do CC issuers report the owner's age?

I am not sure whether the issuers report that to the processors (though I doubt it), but you cannot get that information from a processor.

It would be not very reliable because kids could take parents' card under some excuse (I want to ride an electric scooter, they allow only adult users so I need a card).

If they can do taht they can probably make copies of their parents ID too

I'm not an expert but it would be helpful to look into the similar field of gambling. I read that there's lots of teenagers that are gambling and presumably they would evade controls in the same way, use parent's credit card or get them to fund a wallet of sorts. And maybe steal their parent's ID and use that for verification.

High tech verification that requires the ID to be photographed along with a facial verification largely solve this problem I believe, but I imagine kids go to gambling sites that are either unregulated or loosely regulated in some sketchy jurisdiction (which can be accessed with VPNs even if banned in a country.
