Age Verification Policy

1) Adults-only access

Our content is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to access or use jackpotsreporter.com. In New Zealand, most regulated gambling products and venues are restricted to people aged 18+.

2) Age-gating and verification

• Age gate: we may ask you to confirm your age (e.g., “I am 18+”) before showing certain pages or features.
• Risk-based checks: if we suspect you may be under 18, we may request additional confirmation (for example, date of birth or government-issued ID).
• No access for minors: if you cannot confirm you are 18+, access may be blocked and any account features (if available) may be restricted.

3) What we may do if we suspect underage use

• Ask for age confirmation and/or supporting documentation.
• Temporarily restrict access while verification is pending.
• Close or suspend any associated account or subscriptions (where applicable).
• Delete or de-identify personal information that is not required to be retained for legal, security, or dispute purposes.

4) Information processed for age verification

Depending on the method used, we may process:

• Self-declared age confirmation and/or date of birth.
• Contact details (such as email) and account identifiers (if you create an account).
• Technical data (IP address, device/browser information, cookies) used to operate age-gates and prevent repeat access attempts.
• If required, a copy or snapshot of an age/identity document you provide (we encourage you to mask non-essential fields). We do not require biometric identification.

We handle personal information in line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. See our Privacy Policy for retention and disclosure details.

5) Parents and guardians (controls and guidance)

• Enable device-level parental controls (iOS/Android/Windows/macOS) and set age restrictions for web content.
• Use browser restrictions and safe-search settings; consider separate user profiles for minors.
• Apply router/DNS filtering to reduce access to gambling-related content.
• If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.

6) Enforcement

We may block access, remove content submissions, suspend or close accounts, and take other reasonable steps to prevent underage use and protect the integrity and security of the site.
