JustYes.ID — Industries We Serve

Adult platforms face an impossible choice: verify viewer age and become custodians of the most sensitive identity data imaginable, or block entire states and lose millions in revenue. Major platforms have chosen to block Texas, Virginia, Utah, and others rather than accept that liability. JustYes.ID eliminates the tradeoff.

Problem

Identity Liability

A database of "people who visit adult sites" is a lawsuit and breach target. No platform wants to hold that data.

Solution

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

The site receives a signed JWT that says "18+" and nothing else. No name, no photo, no address. Nothing to breach.

Problem

State-by-State Fragmentation

Each state has different legislation, different requirements, and different enforcement timelines. Compliance is a moving target.

Solution

One Integration, All States

JustYes.ID's Trust Registry handles the legislative mapping. Add state_requirement=TX and we enforce Texas law. Done.

Online alcohol delivery and DTC (direct-to-consumer) wine shipments are booming, but every state requires proof that the buyer is 21+. Current solutions rely on delivery-time ID checks that fail 30% of the time or honor-system age gates that satisfy no regulator.

Problem

Delivery-Time Verification Fails

Drivers skip ID checks, customers aren't home, and unattended deliveries create compliance gaps that cost liquor licenses.

Solution

Verify at Checkout, Not the Door

Cryptographic proof of 21+ at the point of purchase. The delivery driver doesn't need to be an age verification officer.

Problem

Multi-State Shipping Laws

Each state has its own ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) rules. Shipping wine to 30 states means navigating 30 different age verification requirements.

Solution

State-Aware Age Claims

JustYes.ID JWTs include the issuing state. Your platform knows the customer was verified against a government ID from their home state.

Licensed dispensaries and online CBD retailers operate under intense regulatory scrutiny. Payment processors already treat cannabis as high-risk. Adding a fragile age verification system that stores customer IDs creates one more vector for regulatory action and data breach lawsuits.

Problem

Regulatory Scrutiny

State cannabis boards audit dispensaries regularly. A weak age gate is grounds for license suspension or revocation.

Solution

Audit-Ready Compliance

Verification receipts with cryptographic proof, exportable as CSV. Show regulators exactly when each customer was verified, without exposing who they are.

Problem

Federal vs. State Conflict

Cannabis remains federally illegal. Storing customer identity data creates discovery risk if federal enforcement actions occur.

Solution

Nothing to Subpoena

JustYes.ID stores no PII. A federal subpoena of your verification records yields anonymous cryptographic hashes, not customer names.

Online sportsbooks and casinos face the strictest age verification requirements of any industry. State gaming commissions mandate not just age checks, but geolocation and identity verification. Every failed check is a potential fine, and every stored ID is a breach liability.

Problem

Gaming Commission Audits

State gaming regulators require verifiable proof that every user was age-checked. Manual processes don't scale and paper trails are fragile.

Solution

Tamper-Proof Receipts

Every verification generates a cryptographic receipt. Export monthly compliance reports as CSV for gaming commission submission.

Problem

Multi-State Licensing

Operating in NJ, PA, MI, and CO means four different gaming commissions, four different compliance frameworks, four sets of audits.

Solution

State-Specific Verification

JustYes.ID JWTs include the issuing state and age gate (21+). One API call, state-specific compliance output. Auditors get what they need.

The federal Tobacco 21 law raised the nationwide purchase age to 21 in December 2019. The PACT Act requires online vape and tobacco retailers to verify age before sale. Many payment processors now require proof of a compliant age verification system before they'll underwrite a vape or tobacco merchant account.

Problem

PACT Act Compliance

Federal law requires age verification at point of sale for online tobacco/nicotine purchases. Self-reported birth dates don't count.

Solution

Government ID-Backed Proof

JustYes.ID verifies against a real state-issued ID with biometric liveness. Exceeds the "commercially reasonable" standard every regulator requires.

Problem

Payment Processor Requirements

Stripe, Square, and major processors require documented age verification processes for vape merchants. Without one, your merchant account is at risk.

Solution

Processor-Ready Documentation

JustYes.ID provides signed verification receipts and compliance exports that satisfy payment processor due diligence requirements.

Online firearms retailers, auction sites, and accessories dealers must verify buyer age before completing transactions. Federal law requires 21 for handguns and 18 for long guns. Online marketplaces selling parts, accessories, and ammunition face increasing state-level age verification mandates.

Problem

Handgun vs. Long Gun Age Split

Federal law requires 21 for handguns, 18 for long guns. A single age gate doesn't work when your catalog spans both categories.

Solution

Per-Product Age Override

JustYes.ID supports per-partner minimum age overrides. Set 21 for handgun pages, 18 for long gun pages. The JWT reflects the exact requirement.

Problem

FFL Transfer Compliance

Even with FFL transfer at delivery, online retailers face liability if they knowingly sell to underage buyers. Self-reported age isn't a defense.

Solution

Pre-Transaction Verification

Verify age before the transaction completes. The cryptographic receipt proves the retailer took commercially reasonable steps.

Dating apps are under increasing pressure to verify user age and prevent minors from accessing adult-oriented platforms. Catfishing, underage access, and romance scams erode user trust. Platforms that can prove their users are real adults have a competitive advantage.

Problem

Underage Users on 18+ Platforms

Self-reported birth dates are trivially bypassed. A 15-year-old matching with adults is a safety crisis and a legal nightmare.

Solution

Government ID-Backed Age Proof

Every user verified against a real government ID with 3D liveness detection. No more fake birthdays. The age claim is cryptographically unforgeable.

Problem

Catfish and Fake Profiles

Bots and fake profiles destroy platform trust. Users demand proof that the person they're talking to is real.

Solution

Liveness-Verified Badge

JustYes.ID's biometric liveness scan confirms the user is a real person. Display a "Verified" badge without ever seeing their government ID.

The gaming industry is facing a wave of regulation around loot boxes, in-game purchases, and age-restricted content. The EU, UK, and multiple US states are classifying loot boxes as gambling. Games with mature content ratings (M/AO) face increasing pressure to verify player age at account creation, not just at purchase.

Problem

Loot Box Regulation

Multiple jurisdictions are classifying paid loot boxes as gambling, requiring 21+ verification. A game-wide 18+ gate doesn't cover the gambling-within-a-game scenario.

Solution

Context-Sensitive Age Gates

Use JustYes.ID's per-partner age override to set 18+ for general access and 21+ for loot box or gambling features within the same platform.

Problem

Parental Consent Laws

COPPA (under 13) and emerging state laws (under 16) require parental consent for children's accounts. Age claims need to be verifiable, not self-reported.

Solution

Flexible Age Floor (13+)

JustYes.ID supports custom minimum ages down to 13 (COPPA floor). Verify the player's exact age bracket and enforce the right restrictions per jurisdiction.

Integrate Now API Docs

Social media platforms are the primary target of COPPA enforcement and a growing wave of state-level child safety legislation. Florida, Utah, Ohio, and California have all passed or proposed laws requiring age verification for minors on social platforms. The EU's Digital Services Act adds another layer. Self-reported age is no longer legally sufficient.

Problem

COPPA and State Child Safety Laws

Federal COPPA sets the floor at 13, but states are pushing to 14, 16, or even 18 for certain features. Each platform needs age-tiered access control.

Solution

Tiered Age Claims

JustYes.ID's JWT includes the verified age. Your platform can enforce 13+ for basic access, 16+ for DMs, and 18+ for mature content.

Problem

User Friction at Scale

Social platforms have billions of users. Requiring an ID scan for every signup would crater conversion rates and alienate users who value privacy.

Solution

Verify Once, Silent Forever

Users scan their ID once. After that, re-verification is a 3-second silent Schnorr challenge. No ID needed again. Privacy preserved. Conversion protected.

Online pharmacies, telehealth platforms, and supplement retailers face age verification requirements for controlled substances, pseudoephedrine sales, and age-restricted medications. The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act and state pharmacy board rules require verified purchaser identity for certain products.

Problem

Controlled Substance Access

Age-restricted medications require verified proof of age. Online sales need the same rigor as pharmacy counters.

Solution

Pharmacy-Grade Verification

Government ID scan with biometric liveness matches the in-person standard. JustYes.ID receipts provide the audit trail pharmacy boards require.

Problem

HIPAA Intersection

Storing customer identity alongside purchase history creates HIPAA-adjacent liability. An identity breach at an online pharmacy is a regulatory crisis.

Solution

Identity Separation

JustYes.ID proves the buyer is 18+ without linking their identity to their purchase. Age verification and medical privacy stay completely separate.

Fintech apps, neobanks, crypto exchanges, and investment platforms must verify that users meet the minimum age to enter into financial contracts. Minors cannot legally open brokerage accounts, sign loan agreements, or trade cryptocurrency. KYC requirements demand age verification as part of onboarding.

Problem

KYC Age Verification

Know Your Customer regulations require verified proof of age. Self-reported birthdays fail regulatory audits and expose the platform to enforcement action.

Solution

ID-Verified Age Layer

JustYes.ID can serve as the age verification layer within a broader KYC flow. Confirm 18+ with government ID before collecting additional KYC data.

Problem

Minors and Crypto

Crypto exchanges face increasing regulatory pressure to prevent minors from trading. FinCEN and state money transmitter laws require verifiable age checks.

Solution

Pre-Trade Verification

Verify age before the first trade. The cryptographic receipt satisfies regulator audit requirements without storing additional PII.

Online marketplaces that sell age-restricted products (knives, air guns, certain chemicals, mature media) need a way to verify buyer age without building a custom identity verification system. Many marketplace platforms host third-party sellers who rely on the platform to handle compliance.

Problem

Seller-Side Compliance

Third-party sellers on your marketplace can't individually verify buyer age. The platform bears the compliance burden for every age-restricted listing.

Solution

Platform-Level Age Gate

Integrate JustYes.ID once at the platform level. Apply age gates per product category. Sellers get compliance coverage automatically.

Problem

Mixed-Age Catalogs

Your marketplace sells both unrestricted and age-restricted products. A blanket age gate would kill conversion on unrestricted items.

Solution

Conditional Verification

Trigger JustYes.ID verification only when an age-restricted item enters the cart. Unrestricted purchases flow through without interruption.
