# Age Thresholds

> Configure the minimum age visitors must prove.

The age threshold is the minimum age a visitor must prove to pass verification. Veriox enforces whatever threshold you set — it is your responsibility to ensure it meets your legal obligations.

The threshold must be a whole number between **18 and 99**.

## Common thresholds

| Use case                                | Threshold |
| --------------------------------------- | --------- |
| Alcohol, tobacco, adult content (UK/EU) | 18        |
| Alcohol (US)                            | 21        |
| Gambling (UK)                           | 18        |
| Knife sales (UK)                        | 18        |

## Setting your threshold in the portal

Go to your worker in [portal.veriox.io](https://portal.veriox.io) → **Configuration** → **Age Threshold** and enter the minimum age. Save and the change takes effect immediately for new verifications.

<Info>
  Visitors who already have a valid session cookie will not be re-verified until their session expires, even if you change the threshold.

## Jurisdiction guidance

Age verification requirements vary by jurisdiction and product type. Consult your legal counsel to confirm the correct threshold for your specific use case.

<Info>
  The age threshold is a portal setting, not a worker variable — there's nothing to set in `wrangler.toml` and no redeploy is needed, whether you installed via the dashboard or Wrangler.
