Ofcom Sets July 2025 Age Check Deadline for Adult Sites

As the UK’s powerful media and communications regulator, the Office of Communications—better known as Ofcom—has officially laid down a hard deadline for adult websites to introduce robust age verification systems for UK users.

Established by the Office of Communications Act 2002 and empowered through the Communications Act 2003, Ofcom serves as the government-approved authority overseeing the UK’s broadcasting, telecoms, internet, and postal sectors. With a statutory duty to protect consumers and uphold content standards, Ofcom regulates a wide range of services including TV, radio, broadband, video-sharing platforms, and wireless communications. One of its core responsibilities is ensuring that the public—particularly minors—is shielded from harmful or inappropriate material online.

In its latest move under the UK’s Online Safety Act, Ofcom announced that all pornography providers accessible from the UK must implement “highly effective” age verification processes by July 25, 2025. On April 24, the regulator issued letters to hundreds of adult sites warning them of non-compliance consequences and clarifying that the law applies even to platforms based outside the UK.

“If people are visiting your site from the UK, you’ll likely be in scope, wherever in the world you’re based,” the agency stated.

The action builds on earlier requirements directed at porn content producers who self-host, some of whom were already expected to comply earlier this year. The July deadline now puts the entire online adult sector under one enforcement umbrella.

In addition to enforcing universal age checks, Ofcom is requiring any platform that only verifies age for part of its content to complete a children’s risk assessment for remaining accessible sections. This assessment must be submitted by July 24, just one day before the compliance deadline.

Sites found to be in breach of the new requirements face significant penalties—fines of up to 10% of global annual revenue or £18 million, whichever is greater. Ofcom also signaled the possibility of escalating enforcement by seeking court orders to compel third parties like banks and internet service providers to block access to non-compliant platforms.

As part of its broader safety initiative, Ofcom is exploring the use of AI-driven facial age estimation tools to support verification processes, a move reflecting the increasing intersection between artificial intelligence and adult content regulation.

Earlier this year, the UK government also announced plans to make the country the first in the world to criminalize the creation, possession, or distribution of AI tools intended to generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM), signaling an even more aggressive stance toward digital harms involving minors.

Ofcom’s July deadline now stands as a critical compliance milestone for the global adult industry. For any site with UK traffic, there is no longer room for delay—age verification must be implemented, or the consequences will be severe.

One line of code: The easiest way to integrate Go.cam

At Go.cam, we’ve always believed that age verification shouldn’t just be accurate, private, and compliant, it should also be effortless to integrate. Today, we’re taking a big step forward in that mission: implementing Go.cam will soon require just one single line of code.

Why This Matters
Integrating age verification often meant downloading SDKs, navigating documentation, and sometimes custom integrations. Developers told us they loved the transparency of our open-source approach, but they wanted something even faster, a solution that can be live in minutes, not hours.

Automatic Implementation
Integration is now as easy as dropping a single JavaScript snippet into your site. Go.cam takes care of the rest automatically:

· Blurs the website’s adult content
· Camera access management
· Real-time AI-powered facial age estimation
· Instant verification results

Partners will also be able to change the design so it fits their site’s colors and branding and manage the settings for each domain without editing the code again.

For those who want even more control, a “controlled implementation” option is also available. This allows you to manually adjust settings and trigger custom actions, without downloading anything or running code on your own servers everything runs securely in the browser.

Compliance Without the Complexity
By removing complexity, we’re making privacy-first and AI-powered age verification accessible to everyone — from startups to global platforms. This one-line integration isn’t just a technical update; it’s our way of keeping Go.cam as the easiest, fastest, and most reliable solution on the market.

SkyPrivate Launches Lifetime 90% Referral Payout for Models

SkyPrivate is rolling out a major update that gives models a powerful new way to
maximize their earnings: 90% lifetime payout on referred members.

With this new system, the models earn 90% on everything the new members they refer
to SkyPrivate spend with them on the platform.

This includes tips, pay-per-minute calls, prepaid shows, and store purchases. And the
models continue to earn 90% for as long as their referrals remain active on SkyPrivate.

To access the 90% referral payout rate, the models simply need to log in to their
SkyPrivate accounts, navigate to “Promote” → “Get 90% Payout”, and copy their
referral links.

They can then share their links wherever their fans follow them: socials, chat, anywhere.
SkyPrivate’s referral update doesn’t change the models’ regular payout rates. Instead, it
adds a new way for models to earn 90% on the referred members’ spending with them
and boost their income.

“This update is designed to reward our models for bringing new active members to the
platform,” said Dragos, chief commercial officer at SkyPrivate. “It’s simple, transparent,
and gives our community of models an extra way to maximize their earnings… for life.”

The 90% lifetime payout enables SkyPrivate models to take charge of their referrals and
turn their existing fan base across social media and other platforms into a steady stream
of income.

It’s a competitive advantage for those looking to grow their presence and earnings on
the platform.
