since people continue to spread misinformation about this, I decided to test it proper: I made an alt and verified it into the Adult age group, yet it still did not receive the FanDuel Quest (a gambling quest which is age restricted)
An alt account named "meow" does not have access to an age-restricted Quest, despite the fact it is marked as being in the Adult age group.

Updated age verification flowchart for easy reference on privacy for each option blog.dootsky.re/age-verifica...
Do you need to verify to access any features?

If no or unsure: No Verification
Pros: Privacy / security, guarantee no additional data sent.
Cons: Features

Use Discord as normal, and you can use Spoiler Channels as alternatives to age-restricted ones, open media externally, or have client mods remove restrictions.
Don't verify if you don't need to, as  verifying tells Discord that the Age Verification system works; they'll use it in engagement statistics.

If you need to verify:
Your account could be automatically verified based on account age, payment method, servers you're in, and account activity (NOT MESSAGES).

If it's not, then:
Are you comfortable using k-ID?

Facial Age Estimation
Verify with an on-device model determining your age based on your face.
Pros: Selfie not sent
Cons: Can fail; device metadata shared

Credit Card
Use your existing credit card to verify your age. (via k-ID / Stripe)
Pros: Little data risk 
Cons: Req. having and sharing card info 
Note: k-ID offers "AgeKey" which lets you reuse these verification results in the future.

Alternatively, does your phone have identification in a digital wallet, or proof of age through app stores?

If so:

Passport in Google Wallet (Android):
Uses your phone's stored passport to verify your age.
Pros: No additional data shared to Discord
Cons: data shared with Google; Android only

Google Play Store / Apple App Store with payment method/identification:
Uses OS-side signals in Age Range to check your age.
Pros: Only shares age range
Cons: Req. verifying on OS, cannot be manually set; mobile only

If those aren't an option, you'll need to submit an ID to k-ID.
Pros: Claims to delete after processing
Cons ID is processed server side

Discord Support Portal isn't offered as an option anymore.
It was offered in the past if other methods failed. This was what leaked.

Note: Sending your ID is a security risk. Consider a previous step if possible, or re-evaluate doing verification at all.

"hostility against" alongside "hostility towards" kind of confused me... anyway, i dont think anyone's being hostile, they wanna keep their shit you do raise good points. even outside messaging, discord has stuff like rpc that others dont people can def be upset but they should be well informed:

discord doesn’t seem keen on profiting off it; their initial announcement still had on-device and automatic verification, they don’t get any of the data besides age group, and they need to pay their vendors (currently just k-ID, but they offer like, most options) k-ID could sell off IDs though 🤷‍♀️

yeah it could, but i was kind of surprised they didn’t revoke anyone’s spoofed verification from way back in february… like, they had ample time to do so, very easy ways to check, and every reason to do that, but they didn’t??

would be true but currently they actually dont work together
In fact, going through age verification doesn't even guarantee you receive Quests that are age restricted; for around a year, Discord has determined eligibility for age-gated advertisements through their automatic age estimation tool, which is based on signals like play activity. They've done so even for UK users, despite the fact they've had age verification this whole time.
An account that's verified as an adult can still not be served 18+ Quests. Essentially, Discord only serves advertisements if they can guess that you're of age to view them.

sky :3 @dootsky.re · 24/09/2026
yes, and discord has had age-restricted quests for years based on age estimation, including this one

maybe it depends on if you're eligible for those ads in the first place? 🤷‍♀️

that line is meant to clarify that enabling those ads does not guarantee you’ll see them…

nope that’s not why blog.dootsky.re/age-verifica...
Do they want to serve more 18+ ads?
Yes, but they're not rolling out this verification system for that purpose.

In fact, going through age verification doesn't even guarantee you receive Quests that are age restricted; as of now, Discord determines eligibility for age-gated advertisements through their automatic age estimation tool, which is based on signals like your play activity. You can verify this by checking the data package of an account that's not receiving 18+ Quests yet is verified to be an adult. Essentially, Discord only serves advertisements if they can guess that you're of age to view them.
