As far as i see it it's a big no no to say you have to pay to get in a site to 'verify your age' with a credit card ?
If i am right on this then...
I bumped into a very big site and noticed they used a fairly well known processor for doing their adult business with.
I approached the processing company to see what their rates were and got a flat 'we have a strict no adult content policy'
I did a google search and fired back that that was obviously not the case.
They then asked to call me on the phone - i replied not really useful as the confidence in the company now was minimal.
They then replied back that because the companies had 'direct merchant accounts' that is why they process payments for them.
Now these sites that use this processing company are big corporate companies – and their payment/upgrade systems are clearly saying TO VERIFY YOUR AGE
If I am right about the whole visa / cannot use credit card to verify age thing – then I see this as big companies flouting the rules (and their processor allowing them too) which can only hurt the adult industry in the long term by putting a bee in the bonnet of visa.
If I am wrong and its cool, then can someone tell me so
