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.

How the ranking works

A performer's position will be based on eligible earnings from their best three streaming days during the contest. The remaining four days will not count toward the final rank. This gives performers room for a slow day or time away while still allowing them to improve their result by streaming on more days.

The contest leaderboard includes a countdown that shows when the event begins in each local time zone.

Prize list

  • 1st place: $5,000
  • 2nd place: $4,000
  • 3rd place: $3,000
  • 4th place: $2,500
  • 5th place: $2,000
  • 6th place: $1,750
  • 7th place: $1,500
  • 8th place: $1,350
  • 9th place: $1,200
  • 10th place: $1,100

11th-20th place: $1,000
21st-50th place: $750
51st-100th place: $500
101st-200th place: $400
201st-300th place: $300
301st-400th place: $200
401st-500th place: $100

Bonus awards

Any performer who streams for at least 25 hours during the event can qualify for one additional bonus. A performer who earns at least $250 can receive $25. Reaching $500 can earn a $50 bonus, while reaching $1,000 can earn $100. The offer also applies to performers who finish in the top 500.

Eligibility and payment schedule

The ranking uses the amount members spend on a performer during the contest. Media sales, subscription charges, and Cammodel earnings are excluded. Streamate will verify the rankings when the event ends. Fraudulent earnings can lead to disqualification and may result in an account suspension or closure.

Rewards are expected to be added to performer earnings within one week after the contest and then paid on the regular payment schedule. Streamate also suggests telling regular viewers when a performer will be online and using #smcontest when promoting shows on social media.
