Automated Identity Verification ARGOS Joins Forces with Global Game Platform
ARGOS Enhances Trust in the Gaming Ecosystem with Remote Identity Verification Services
ARGOS Identity, an AI-powered digital identity verification company, has announced a strategic partnership with Xsolla, a global platform for video game distribution and monetization. This partnership was initiated during the 2025 Game Developers Conference (GDC) and quickly evolved into a concrete collaboration.
Selected as Xsolla’s First Official Partner for Identity Verification
In September 2024, Xsolla launched its official Partnership Program, aiming to onboard collaborators across various sectors including CRM, data intelligence, infrastructure & cloud, and game engines.
Notably, the Identity Verification category had no official partners at the time until ARGOS was selected as the first. ARGOS is currently listed under the Compliance category.
Moreover, Xsolla connected ARGOS with three of its game clients, all of whom provided positive testimonials, leading to ARGOS’s swift registration as a Verified Partner.
ARGOS Identity is now officially listed on the Xsolla Marketplace, providing the opportunity to promote its services to Xsolla’s global network of game developers and publishers.
The two companies have also established a referral partnership framework. Xsolla actively introduces ARGOS’s identity verification solutions to its clients, while ARGOS recommends Xsolla’s distribution and monetization services to its own customers.
Real customer referrals have already taken place, and the partnership is rapidly expanding.
Building a Secure Identity Verification Infrastructure for the Global Gaming Market
ARGOS offers eKYC and AML solutions tailored for the gaming industry, including:
AI-based real-time identity verification
Automated detection of international AML watchlists and suspicious behaviors
Compliance frameworks aligned with GDPR and other regional regulations
Through this partnership, ARGOS is now able to deliver fast and reliable identity verification services to more global gaming companies, greatly enhancing the security and trustworthiness of user onboarding processes.
Fostering a Trust-Based Global Gaming Ecosystem
As the digital gaming market rapidly expands, identity verification has become more than just a compliance requirement; it's now a core tool for maintaining trust and safety within the gaming environment.
In the gaming industry, eKYC plays a crucial role in ensuring compliance with legal age verification requirements. In countries with strong child protection laws, failure to enforce age restrictions can result in heavy fines or service bans. Thus, identity verification becomes a legal safeguard and a key element of brand trust for game developers and publishers.
Legal Age Verification Requirements by Region:
USA – COPPA: Parental consent and verified identity are required to collect personal information from children under 13.
EU – GDPR-K: The defined age for children varies by country (e.g., 16 in Germany, 15 in France), necessitating accurate age verification processes.
UK – Online Safety Act: Mandates age verification technologies to prevent minors from accessing adult content.
Why are age restrictions enforced in gaming?
Primarily, content accessibility varies by age. Some games contain violence, sexual content, or gambling elements that are only suitable for adult users. Accurate age verification based on real-name and birthdate ensures proper access control, helping game companies fulfill their social responsibilities while enhancing platform trust.
Another key reason is financial protection. Without age verification, minors could make in-game purchases (in-app payments) without parental consent, leading to chargebacks or refund disputes and in extreme cases, legal challenges. Identity verification allows game companies to implement preventative measures such as spending limits for minors, significantly reducing the risk of disputes.
