The owner of that club has it set to require Age verification. You need to be age verified to go there.

Linking your account to your paypal does'nt age verify you,
You will be able to get into some adult sims but if they are flagged with age verification then you have to be age verified.
Depends on the sim owner and whether they require avys entering to be age verified or not

Then why does this website tell me that I can be age verified just by linking my account to my paypal account?

You are not age verified unless you go through the age verification process. Giving payment information (even though you never use that information for actually paying LL anything) will get you verified enough to get to Zindra (the adult content) and many of the places of business there.........but it will not get into any place that has the parcel flagged "age verified". For that you must be age verified....meaning clicking the link to age verify and give the requested information.

yes wyhat the previous post said also under search make sure pg, mature, and adult box all ALL ticked. if that doesn't work iv noticed giving a valid drivers license is most accurate. btw... if you verify by c card or paypal account they make you actually buy L..... (know this from experience i had too) i know it sucks but if this is the only way you can age verify buy the min amount of L which is like 572L which= about $2.50USD.

Unless I'm missing something big (which I don't think I am) there are two processes......similar but different. It appears they are getting mixed up here. Giving payment information or using some form of acceptable payment method (a CC or PayPal) to make a purchase, become premium, or otherwise give real life funds to LL is probably better defined as "account verified". That means LL has on record some information that verifies the account is, indeed, owned or authorized by the holder of the payment account. That will get you into mature rated sims/parcels. It will also get you into Zindra (the adult continent).

Then there's age verification. That is a process different from account verication. You give real life details to a third party that verifies the information to determine if you are over the age of 18. As far as I know you don't need to have payment information or payment used to get age verified........but I could be wrong there. That process allows you to visit/enter sims/parcels that are flagged as adult (a new and stricter form of restrictions) as well as mature and pg areas. Not all sims/parcels are flagged as adult (even in Zindra) so your payment information will get you into those that are not flagged that way. However if the place is flagged "adult" you MUST be AGE VERIFIED to get in........not just account verified. You also must check the appropriate boxes in preferrences.

The system is not without faults or bugs.......but that's the way it's supposed to work. And it works for most people. Account verified will get you most everywhere.........age verification will get you to the rest.

Verifying your account is done through EITHER getting payment info on file OR by age verifying. Account verifying is not the same as age verifying.

Yes, it's confusing, unnecessarily so. That's why I created a JIRA requesting this be normalized in-world.
