Age Verification (UK only)
Why Are You Asking Me to Verify My Age?
We know, we know—it’s a bit of a hassle, right? But here’s the thing: UK law requires us to make sure that only people who are 18 or older can access or purchase products with adult content. This is all in line with the UK Online Safety Act 2023, which, let’s face it, isn’t exactly about making your shopping experience more convenient. But hey, it’s the law, and we have to play by the rules.
So, if you’re trying to access one of those "mature" product pages, don’t be shocked when we ask you to confirm that you’re not, you know, a teenager. We won’t let you proceed until we’re sure you’re of legal age. To do that, just contact our support team. and they’ll help you through the process. Simple, right?
What’s with All the Blurred Images?
Ah, yes, the blurry pictures. No, it’s not some weird art trend we’re following—though we’d like to think we’re ahead of the curve. The blur is there to protect everyone, especially the little ones. We know that you probably don’t want to be bombarded with images that aren’t suitable for all ages, and we definitely don’t want that either. So, as part of our compliance with the law, we’ve blurred out any images related to adult content, just to make sure that we’re not showing anything harmful to children.
Basically, we’re trying to be responsible adults here. Because, you know, we like to stay on the right side of the law, and protecting the kids is kind of a big deal.
But Why Is This Even Necessary?
Because, as much as we love gaming, we’re also fans of not getting into trouble. The UK government has decided that access to adult content needs to be regulated, especially online, where things can get a little... unpredictable. So, to stay compliant, we have to verify your age and make sure that the content you’re seeing is appropriate for your age group.
It’s not about you—it’s about keeping things safe for everyone. And hey, we want to make sure that no one underage accidentally stumbles across something that’s definitely not meant for their eyes.
So, What Do I Do Now?
Well, if you’re over 18 (lucky you!), and you’ve been prompted to verify your age, it’s super easy—just hit the "Contact Support" button. Our team will help you get set up and allow you to access the content. You’ll be back to shopping in no time, without all the annoying roadblocks. We’re willing to work with you and accept any reasonable method of verification that you’re comfortable with, so when contacting our support be sure to let us know what works best for you.
And if you’re not over 18? No worries—there are plenty of awesome games here for you, too. Just a heads up, though—you won’t be able to see or buy the adult-rated stuff until you hit that magical age.
Anything Else I Should Know?
Just a reminder: we take your privacy and security seriously. Any personal information you provide to verify your age will only be used for that purpose and will be kept secure. Your data isn’t going anywhere, so you can relax on that front.
We’re doing all this to make sure that everyone has a safe and age-appropriate experience on GamersGate. Thanks for your understanding, and for doing your part to keep things appropriate for everyone!
Still Confused?
Just to clear things up:
If you’re seeing age verification prompts or blurred images, it’s only because you’re accessing our site from the UK.
If you're not in the UK:
No action is needed. You won’t be asked to verify your age, and all images will appear as normal.
If you are in the UK:
You’ll need to complete a quick age verification process by contacting our support team to view mature content.
