A few days ago, the German Gaming Authority (GGL) approved IDCheck.io, a new method for identity and age verification in Germany. This is an advanced AI-based identity solution from Munich-based IDnow GmbH. But how does IDCheck.io verification in German online casinos work in detail?

One of the aims of the State Treaty on Gaming is to ensure the protection of minors and players (Section 1 GlüStV). For this reason, the law stipulates, among other things, that a player must not only register with his full personal details in a German online casino. No, their identity must also be confirmed or verified. About a year ago, we tried to answer the question of how verification works in German online casinos in an article published on GambleJoe.

How does IDCheck.io identity verification work?

The new solution from IDnow GmbH is based on artificial intelligence (AI) and has been classified by the Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media (KJM) as suitable for carrying out efficient age verification in accordance with the applicable gambling laws. As a result, the national gaming authority has now also given the green light for the use of the procedure in all online casinos with a German licence. The official press release issued by IDnow GmbH on 9 January can be accessed online here.

To date, the Munich-based company's portfolio includes the AutoIdent, VideoIdent, IDknow Wallet and IDnow eID identity verification products. Some of these products are already in use in online casinos with a German licence.

IDCheck.io is a new product that is based on AI and can therefore be performed in real time. Once the player has uploaded the required documents, IDCheck.io checks them for authenticity in real time and fully automatically. Back in May last year, we at GambleJoe reported on the approval of OKTO.WALLET as a payment method for online gambling in Germany.

IDCheck.io was founded in 2013, more than ten years ago. A year later, IDnow GmbH was officially established with headquarters in Munich. The company now has offices around the world, including Dubai, Spain, France and the UK.

Step-by-step identity verification with IDCheck.io:

  • Step 1: Scan your ID document with your smartphone
  • Step 2: The document is automatically checked for validity and authenticity within approximately 10 seconds
  • Step 3: The result is displayed immediately, so users don't lose any time

The authorisation of IDCheck.io as an identity check in German online casinos is intended to ensure even greater security and protection of minors for players. The company IDnow is also visibly proud of the approval of the new AI-based identity solution.

Rayissa Armata, Director Global Regulatory & Government Affairs at IDnow, explains:

"With IDCheck.io, IDnow is pleased to offer another online age verification solution that has been positively assessed by the KJM. With our wide range of identity verification methods, IDnow remains a strong partner for the protection of minors, especially in the gaming and gambling sector.
