Credit cards aren't really used for age verification purposes in the UK so I'm not sure why it would be accepted for this.
Also, "All adults own a credit card" is far from a good assumption in general and credit card ownership is actually in decline in the UK so it would be bizarre to tie credit card ownership into this.
- smhenderson 8y agoOh I agree it’s a terrible way to do it. I live in the US where it’s used a lot for age verification. Didn’t realize it wasn’t more universal. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

It's the streetlight fallacy, in other words: The drunk doesn't know where those damn car keys have gotten to, but they know that the only place the light's good enough to look is under the streetlight, so the keys must be under the streetlight.
