Identity and age-eligibility checks for licensed operators
Licensed gaming and betting operators must confirm who their customers are and that they are old enough to play. Yimi provides consent-led identity verification and an age-eligibility outcome as part of the operator's own onboarding.
Example Licensed Operator would like to verify your identity for customer registration.

The challenge
Operators need to confirm identity and age at registration, and show how they did so.
- Online registration means age and identity are confirmed without ever seeing the customer.
- Underage registrations need to be stopped before an account can be funded.
- Regulators and auditors may ask how each customer's age was established.
