To comply with local regulations (Membuka di tab baru), players in Australia will need to verify they are 18 or older to download or purchase games rated R18+ (Membuka di tab baru) from the Epic Games Store. This requirement begins September 9. This will not change the way you access games you already own or any games rated below R18+.

We use Epic’s Kids Web Services (Membuka di tab baru) (KWS) to verify your age. KWS partners with third-party providers to offer multiple privacy-preserving age verification methods. Here are the methods available in Australia:

- Take a selfie. Yoti (Membuka di tab baru) analyzes your selfie to estimate your age. This photo is encrypted, never seen by a human and is deleted by Yoti immediately after estimation. KWS does not receive your selfie.

- Enter your credit card details. Stripe (Membuka di tab baru) authorizes 5 cents on your credit card to confirm it is valid. Your card won’t be charged. KWS does not receive your credit card details.

- Take a photo of your ID. Veriff (Membuka di tab baru) uses your government-issued ID to verify your age. Your information is encrypted and securely processed by Veriff and your photo is deleted immediately after verification. KWS does not receive your ID.

- Use ConnectID. Beginning later this month, ConnectID (Membuka di tab baru) will let you confirm your age through your bank. No banking information will be shared with ConnectID or KWS.
