A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers has introduced a bill mandating facial age verification for users of online sports betting and prediction market platforms. Led by Representative Josh Gottheimer, the proposal aims to prevent minors from accessing these platforms using accounts belonging to others. The technology estimates age by analyzing facial features without storing personal data. Current evaluations by NIST indicate an average error of 3.1 years in age estimation algorithms, with higher error rates for females. Details on enforcement, penalties, and user recourse are yet to be disclosed.
