Age Restriction on youtube

[Skipper]

Hi if you keep putting age restrictions on then i think you will loose subs. I am well over 18 and not prepared to send of my documents to who knows who on youtube just to be verified. Thanks.

Hey Skipper, unfortunately it’s a YouTube thing rather than a StopandStep thing. It seems to be something they’re rolling out slowly over time and affects some people but not others. I’ve never verified my age with documents but did make a declaration about my DOB when registering so I’m not sure if that suffices for them.

There’s been a few people unhappy about this, but I’d recommend having a look at this thread from earlier in the year.

To be honest, I’m not totally sure. I’ve only uploaded a couple of videos to YouTube and it’s always asked what audience it’s appropriate for. My guess is that with gambling channels they have to stipulate that their videos are 18+ otherwise they risk their channel being pulled - I think this is a relatively new thing, although oddly it doesn’t seem to affect every viewer.

Maybe someone who uploads regularly can clarify this?

Defo him putting age restriction on its done it on his latest today. I can watch older vids but not new ones. If it not him he better sort it out he will loose subs.

"Lose"...not "loose"...

I don't blame people for not wanting to submit documents to Google. Although under 18's don't watch the videos, it is now a requirement for UK gambling channels to age-restrict online casino videos, which is why some streamers are moving abroad. 
I'd prefer not to do it, and the videos are only being replaced in the search results by European channels, so it's a bit pointless.

I can watch the videos but have no access to the comments strangely on youtube only seems to be some videos too? Its not even giving me an option to upload documents or make my account 18+? I enjoy the comments aswell i dont always respond but i like to see peoples views about the games.

YouTube seems to ask people randomly to verify, unless people have verified before for something else and didn't realise. 
The comments are open so I'm not sure what that problem is 😞

Be careful if you do verify with a credit card as I think it auto saves it in your account which may in turn make it possible to accidentally one click purchase apps in the play store. You need to go to your Google account and delete the card

Absoloutly no way to see comments unless im being daft which it could well be lol ive tried pressing everything and trying different videos. Weird it would let me watch restricted content but not lwt me see the comments? And even videos ive seen previously like the video i won the prize on money train i think it was i can no longer see the comments on that either, anyway strange but glad i can still watch the content at least.
