# Age Requirement to Use Peaxel

Peaxel is a platform that includes real competitions, trading features, and a cash wallet system connected to Stripe. Because real financial transactions can occur (buying cards, earning rewards, and requesting payouts), the platform is restricted to users who are legally recognized as adults.

#### **Minimum Age Requirement**

To create and use an account on Peaxel, you must be:

* **At least 18 years old**, or
* **The legal age of majority** in your country or region.

This requirement applies to *all* users who participate in gameplay, own cards, use the marketplace, or access the cash wallet.

#### **Why This Requirement Exists**

Peaxel partners with **Stripe Connect** to manage payments and withdrawals. Stripe is required by financial regulations to verify user identity (KYC: Know Your Customer). KYC verification can **only be completed by individuals who are legally adults**.

This ensures:

* Regulatory compliance
* Protection against fraud and identity misuse
* Financial safety for all users

#### **What If You Are Underage?**

If you are under the legal age:

* You **cannot** create a Peaxel manager account
* You **cannot** own or trade cards
* You **cannot** participate in gameweeks or receive rewards

You may follow the game and community from the outside, but **account creation and play are reserved for adults**.

#### **Account Verification**

When you activate your cash wallet, you will be asked to provide identity information to confirm your age. If verification fails due to age, the account cannot proceed.
