Introduce practical age controls without requiring documentary identity verification.
WINR Argus™
Lightweight Age Assurance API
Digital platforms are under pressure to strengthen age controls and online safety, but traditional document-based verification often creates onboarding friction. WINR Argus™ is a lightweight age assurance solution that uses persistent identity associations linked to mobile numbers and email addresses to help organisations assess whether an identifier has historically been associated with an adult consumer profile, providing a scalable, lower-friction approach to online age assurance.
Key Benefits

Global Identity Intelligence

Built for Low-Friction Digital Environments
Many organisations do not require full documentary identity verification for every interaction. In practice, they need practical age controls that support onboarding conversion, trust and safety, scalable digital operations and privacy-conscious user experiences.
WINR Argus™ is designed specifically for this reality. The platform enables age assurance without requiring users to upload passports or drivers licences.
Why Age Assurance Matters
Governments and regulators globally are increasing focus on underage access controls, online safety, age-restricted digital services and trust and safety frameworks.
At the same time, digital platforms face a commercial reality – every additional onboarding step can reduce conversion.
WINR Argus™ helps organisations introduce practical age controls without creating the operational and customer experience challenges associated with high-friction documentary verification workflows.
How WINR Argus™ Works
WINR Argus™ operates through a simple REST API to assess whether an identifier has historically been associated with an adult consumer profile using:
- mobile number and/or email address
- country code
Using persistent identity associations and historical identity linkage, WINR Argus™ returns an age assurance verification outcome designed for low-friction onboarding and online safety workflows, without exposing documentary identity data or sensitive personal information.
Persistent Identity Association
WINR Argus™ is designed around long-term identity association over time.
Rather than relying on a single declaration event, WINR Argus™ leverages persistent identity associations linked to mobile numbers and email addresses across historical datasets and digital environments. This enables organisations to introduce scalable age assurance workflows without unnecessary operational complexity.

- age-restricted and regulated commerce platforms including adult content, cannabis marketplaces in legal jurisdictions, gaming and wagering.
- promotions, competitions and digital advertising environments.
