Pornhub, OnlyFans and Major Cams Platforms Confront Italy’s New Age-Check Rules
Italy has formally named 45 porn and porn-adjacent websites that must introduce stricter age verification from November 12, 2025, as the country becomes the latest to tighten access to adult content.
The Italian communications regulator AGCOM has published a list of services it classifies as providing pornographic material in Italy. The roster includes Aylo-owned platforms Pornhub, Redtube, and YouPorn, along with xHamster, camming site Chaturbate, and subscription giant OnlyFans, among others.
Under the new framework, all sites on the list will be required to verify that users connecting from Italy are 18 or older through certified third-party providers. These verification partners may include dedicated age-check services, banks, or mobile operators that already hold verified customer data. Crucially, the process is expected to be repeated each time a user visits one of the listed platforms, rather than operating as a one-time verification per site, as is the case in some other markets, such as the UK.
Italy’s legal basis for porn age verification came into force in May, but platforms were granted a grace period until November 12. Only now has the full list of affected services been disclosed, and it features many of the industry’s largest brands. The move comes as critics of age verification argue that strict regimes tend to push traffic away from the biggest, more heavily scrutinized platforms and toward smaller sites that may be less compliant or less transparent.
In the UK, where tougher age checks for porn access were introduced in July, Pornhub has claimed that traffic from the country fell by 77 percent after the new rules took effect. According to parent company Aylo, users are not abandoning adult content altogether but are instead gravitating toward platforms that have not yet implemented – or are not yet being forced to implement – comparable verification systems.
Subsequent traffic data has indicated that, as visits to major porn brands decreased, some smaller adult sites experienced a corresponding rise in UK user numbers. At the same time, the UK regulator Ofcom has opened investigations into a range of pornography services, including lesser-known sites it alleges are not complying with the updated rules.
In Italy, platforms that appear on AGCOM’s list and fail to adopt compliant age verification procedures by November 12 risk facing penalties of up to 250,000 euros (around 290,000 US dollars). Observers expect that the regulator will add more services to the list over time as enforcement develops and new sites are identified.
Italy is also one of five EU member states that have piloted an age verification application developed by the European Commission. The tool is intended to provide a privacy-preserving way to prove that a user is over 18, with potential future use in porn age verification systems across the bloc.

AdultWork Offers Advertising Credits for Creator Content
AdultWork Circle lets webcam models and online content creators earn advertising credits by taking part in content briefs and social media activities. Members can choose the opportunities that fit their style and schedule.
Accepted applicants receive an invitation to a private Telegram channel, where AdultWork shares ideas, examples, and instructions. Briefs may call for photos, short videos, or social media tasks. Each one sets out the requirements, deadline, available reward, and review process.
Credits are awarded when AdultWork approves an activity or selects submitted content. Sending an entry does not guarantee a reward. The program also offers advertising credits for joining, while rewards from approved activities and selected content are totaled and added to accounts at the end of each month.
Selected work may appear in AdultWork campaigns, with creators tagged for additional exposure. Members can also receive feedback and practical guidance to develop their content and online presence.
Participants must keep submitted content exclusive to AdultWork until the platform publishes it first. They can then share it through their own channels. Applications are reviewed before access is granted, and members can check the full content usage rules inside the Circle.

Streamray Models Must Upload Diamond Fan Club Welcome Video by October 1, 2026
New Diamond Fan Club Requirement
Streamray is preparing to launch new Fan Club packages for models and members. As part of the new Diamond Fan Club package, each member will receive an exclusive welcome video from the model when they purchase the package.
All models must record and upload a Diamond Fan Club welcome video before the deadline. The video is intended to give Diamond members a personal introduction to the most exclusive Fan Club experience.
Video Length and Format
The welcome video must be between 20 and 30 seconds long. Models may record it in either a vertical or horizontal format.
Nudity is permitted in the video, but it is not required. The model’s face must be shown clearly so Streamray can identify and verify the model while reviewing the submission.
Streamray recommends that models speak directly to the member in the video. The message should feel personal, warm, and exclusive. Models are encouraged to use their own words to welcome members and help them feel excited about joining the Diamond Fan Club.
How to Upload the Video
Models can upload the completed video through their Model Account. The menu path is:
Model Account > My Fans > Upload Fan Club Diamond Video
Models should make sure the uploaded recording meets the length, format, and face-visibility requirements. A clearly visible face is necessary for the review and verification process, regardless of whether the video is recorded vertically or horizontally or contains nudity.
October 2026 Deadline
The deadline to upload the Diamond Fan Club welcome video is October 1, 2026. All models must complete the upload by that date.
Streamray has also announced a broadcasting restriction tied to the requirement. After the deadline, any model who has not uploaded a Diamond welcome video will not be able to broadcast. Broadcasting access will remain unavailable until the required video has been uploaded.
Preparing for the New Packages
The welcome video will become part of the experience provided to members who purchase the new Diamond Fan Club package. Models can prepare in advance by recording a short message that directly welcomes the member while keeping their face clearly visible.
The launch announcement did not provide a release date for the new Fan Club packages. However, you must submit the required Diamond welcome video no later than October 1, 2026, to avoid an interruption in broadcasting access.

Stripchat Makes Magic Search Unlimited for All Users
Stripchat Expands Access
Stripchat has made Magic Search unlimited for all users, including guests. The feature lets people search for live rooms by describing, in their own words, what they want to see. It accepts searches in more than 50 languages and returns live rooms that match the description.
How Discovery Works
Magic Search uses computer vision to match a user’s request with what is visible in a stream. Distinctive outfits, room setups, visual styles, toys, or tattoos may help a room appear in results when those details are in the camera frame.
This can make unusual or highly specific shows easier to discover, even when they do not fit an existing category. Users only need to describe the feature they're looking for. Stripchat says people searching for something specific are more likely to stay and tip than users who are browsing without a set goal.
Tags and Categories Remain
Existing tags and categories will continue to work as they did before. Magic Search adds another discovery option rather than replacing those tools.
