Default UK porn sites that have publicly agreed to age checks from Friday July 25, 2025

[ PornHub
BoyfriendTV
Cam4
FrolicMe
inxxx
Jerkmate
LiveHDCams
MyDirtyHobby
RedTube
Streamate
Stripchat
Tube8
YouPorn]


(This is not an exhaustive list
of all the sites that have to comply;
others are not happy
to be named at this stage)


[Britain's porn crackdown: Ofcom reveals the
full list of adult sites you'll have to prove
you're over-18 to access from next month
Ofcom said these 13 sites 'are happy to be
named at this stage' and 'represent a broad
range of pornography services accessed in the UK'.

But other porn sites not on the list,
such as XHamster and XVideos,
have to comply with the rule too.

If any fails to do so,
Ofcom can impose fines and
in very serious cases apply for a court order
to prevent the site or app from
being available.]


[According to Oliver Griffiths,
Ofcom's group director of online safety,
making life safer online 'is one of
the defining challenges of our era'.
'Society has long protected youngsters from
products that aren't suitable for them,
from alcohol to smoking or gambling,' he said.

'But for too long children have been
only a click away from harmful pornography online.

'Now, change is happening.
These age checks will bring pornography
into line with how we treat adult services
in the real world, without compromising access
and privacy for over-18s.'

In terms of how the age checks would work,
Ofcom has already listed seven methods
that porn providers could use.
Ultimately, which one they opt for is their
decision, not Ofcom's, but their chosen
method must be ‘highly effective’
at correctly determining if a user is under 18.

Ofcom's seven suggested strategies
are photo-ID matching, facial age estimation,
mobile-network operator (MNO) age checks,
credit card checks, email-based age estimation,
digital identity services and open banking.

Open banking works by accessing the
information a bank has on record regarding
a user's age, while photo-ID matching involves
uploading a verified photo-ID document,
like a PDF of a passport or driving licence.]
