Signing in by phone number confirms the subscriber, but not age and not that a person has just one account in a ranked tournament. NeuroVision checks the document, date of birth and a live player before the tournament, and the passport, INN and self-employed status — before prize payouts.
Cloud in Russia or your perimeter · Russian software registry no. 19972 · Federal Law 152‑FZ
As of October 2026 there is no law that obliges a service to identify a player by document. But account sign-in, age labelling and tax on prizes are already regulated — and each of these rules leaves a task for the game service.
149‑FZ, part 10 of Art. 8 (as amended by 406‑FZ, from 1 December 2023); Code of Administrative Offences, Art. 13.55.
436‑FZ, part 2 of Art. 5, Art. 6, 11, 12; the draft law “On the development and distribution of video games” — not adopted.
Tax Code, paras 1 and 5 of Art. 226, para. 28 of Art. 217, paras 2 and 3 of Art. 224; 422‑FZ.
Most players do not need a check: they play rather than withdraw money. A check is worth doing where an account acquires a price — a ranking place, prizes, money for items or adult content.
A player check involves several parties, and each answers its own question. The role map shows what sign-in by number or through Gosuslugi gives you, what the service decides itself and where a document check is needed.
NeuroVision does not replace sign-in by number and Gosuslugi — it answers the questions that sign-in leaves open: how old the player is, whether this is one person and who should receive the prize.
Confirms that the number belongs to the subscriber — the basis of sign-in by number. It does not confirm age or that there is a single player behind the number.
Sign-in through Gosuslugi or the EBS is one of the lawful authorisation methods. The service receives the data the player consented to.
Assigns the game a category and mark under 436‑FZ. Decides from what age to admit players to a mode and tournament and when to ask for a document.
Writes the rules: age, citizenship, one account per player. Withholds personal income tax on prizes as a tax agent.
Accepts personal income tax reports for winners. Keeps the register of the self-employed — the status is checked against it before payout.
The player’s document without manual entry, anti-fraud and age from the date of birth. Liveness and a face match with the photo in the document. INN, self-employed status, watchlists and sanctions.
A scenario for an online qualifier with a prize pool: the player is checked once at application and again, briefly, before payout. The decision on admission and payout stays with the tournament team.
The player photographs their passport in the launcher or on the tournament website. The full name, date of birth, series and number arrive in your system without manual entry, and anti-fraud flags a photo of a screen, a printout and a pasted-in photo.
The scenario compares the date of birth with the rules’ threshold; Liveness and a one-off match of the face with the photo in the document confirm that the document is shown by its holder. The document’s series and number are matched against other accounts — before the draw.
Before payout the winner shows the document again and passes Liveness, while the INN by passport, self-employed status and sanctions are checked in the same request. Accounting receives the winner’s data to withhold personal income tax.
A SIM card is easy to buy, and an account can be handed over. In a ranked tournament and on an item market this turns into unfair places, disputed prizes and money for hijacked accounts.
An experienced player creates a new account and lands in a bracket with beginners. A repeated series and number in two accounts is visible before the draw.
A hired player raises the rating, while the owner turns up for the final. Before the deciding match the finalist shows the document again and passes Liveness: the full name and document number must match the application.
Accounts with ratings and items are sold on the market. A seller who withdraws money completes KYC — someone else’s passport and a photo of a screen are flagged by anti-fraud.
A minor registers with a parent’s number. The date of birth from the document is compared with the rules’ threshold before admission.
The order in which the tournament team admits a player and pays out prizes. Each row shows who performs the step: NeuroVision, the organiser themselves or a state system.
Risk. A game labelled 18+ may not be distributed to children, and signing in with a parent’s number does not show age.
NeuroVision — the date of birth from the document is compared with the threshold, and a session with a date outside the range does not pass.
Service — decides where to ask for age: at registration, on entering an 18+ mode or at the first purchase.
Risk. The rules admit players from 16 or 18, and a teenager applies with an older brother’s document.
NeuroVision — Liveness and a face match with the photo in the document show that the document belongs to the participant.
Service — writes the threshold into the rules and does not admit anyone to the draw without a check.
Risk. A player aged 14–17 signs a contract with a club or tournament without the legal representative’s consent.
NeuroVision — checks the player’s document and the representative’s document — each in its own session.
Service — links the two sessions in its own system and keeps the written consent.
Risk. A teenager won a prize, and it has to be paid so that tax is withheld and the recipient is not mixed up.
NeuroVision — the INN by passport and a match of the full name from the document with the payout details.
Service — pays under the tournament rules, withholds personal income tax and reports for the winner.
The law does not say how an online game should check age: the category and the information-product mark are set by 436‑FZ, while the tournament threshold and the checking method are set by your rules. So as not to ask everyone for a document, check it where an 18+ restriction, a tournament or a payout appears.
Five accounts — one player
Several accounts of one person are entered in qualification to take more places in the bracket. A repeated series and number are visible at application.
One person passed qualification, another came to the final
The rating was earned by a hired player. Before the final the player shows the document again and passes Liveness — the full name and document number will not match the application.
A passport photo instead of the original
An image of a document taken from a screen, or an edited scan, is uploaded with the application. Anti-fraud flags a photo of a screen, a printout, a pasted-in photo and traces of editing.
The money is withdrawn by someone other than the owner
An account with items is sold through a marketplace. The seller completes KYC before the first withdrawal, and linked accounts with the same payout details are visible before payout.
The recipient is not the winner
The winner is asked to transfer the winnings to a relative’s or acquaintance’s card. The full name from the winner’s document is matched against the payout details.
1 = 1
One player — one account
A check at application is the minimum. It is worth repeating when the cost of a mistake on an account changes: a player reaches the final, withdraws money or changes payout details.
The document again and Liveness, INN by passport and self-employed status — as of the payout date. The money goes to the winner, not to whoever sent the details.
The marketplace checks the seller before the first withdrawal and for a large amount — a document, watchlists and sanctions.
A player changes a card, phone or email before payout. A repeat session with a document shows whether the full name and document number match the account data.
A suspicion of boosting or a second account in the bracket. A repeat check gives the tournament team data for a decision rather than guesses.
Each check is switched on separately — application, final and payout each have their own set. You pay for requests completed; a check that lacked data is not charged. All database checks — in the general catalogue.

A Russian passport or a foreign player’s document without manual entry, plus anti-fraud: a photo of a screen, a printout, a pasted-in photo, editing. Age from the date of birth — in the scenario. An additional document — 10 ₽.
Everything in “Document”, plus Liveness and a face match with the photo in the document, and protection against masks, screens and deepfakes. For finalists, prize places and item sellers.
5 ₽ per check
INN by passport, self-employed status, the Rosfinmonitoring list, sanctions; the basic Russian-passport check package — 50 ₽, compliance screening with PEP — 36 ₽.
One session — one person. The session price falls with volume: at 10 000 checks a year — 18 ₽ according to the calculator. A check for which there was not enough data is not charged. Calculator on the pricing page.
The check is built in where the player already is: the launcher, the personal account, the tournament application and the payout form. Steps are switched on by scenario rules — a document at application, Liveness before the final, INN before payout.
Payment for checks completed; the data storage period is set in the scenario; support through a ticket system.
A game service needs a check that does not scare off ordinary players, is switched on only where an account acquires a price, and gives accounting the winner’s data without manual entry.
A document is recognised in under a second, anti-fraud flags a photo of a screen and a pasted-in photo, age is compared with the rules’ threshold, and the INN and self-employed status are checked in the same request. Liveness is tested to ISO/IEC 30107-3 and tells a live player from a mask, a screen and a deepfake.
There is no need to assemble a solution from several vendors and reconcile their responses.
In brief, the terms that come up in tournament rules, game service policies and prize payouts.
Anti-fraud, Liveness, deepfakes and working with the self-employed — in our blog.
As of October 2026 — no. The draft law on video games, with sign-in by phone number, through Gosuslugi or the EBS, was submitted to the State Duma in December 2024 but has not been adopted. The sign-in rules for users from Russia and age labelling of games apply.
By a Russian telecom operator’s number, through Gosuslugi, through the EBS or through another Russian system. This is what the information law requires of Russian service owners that let users in after authorisation.
By the date of birth in the document: NeuroVision recognises it and compares it with the threshold in the scenario, and anti-fraud flags a photo of a screen and a pasted-in photo. For registration without a document, age confirmation through a telecom operator is suitable.
A number confirms the subscriber, not age and not that a person has just one account. In a ranked tournament and when paying prizes it matters to know exactly who is playing and who to pay.
Check the document at application: the series and number arrive as separate fields, and a repeat in another account is visible before the draw. For finalists — the document again and Liveness before the deciding match.
That is decided by the tournament rules. If the threshold is 16 or 18, the date of birth is checked against the document. If the player is under 18, the contract and prize payout are drawn up with the consent of the legal representative.
The full name, date of birth, passport data and INN — the organiser, as a tax agent, withholds personal income tax and reports for the winner. NeuroVision recognises the passport and finds the INN by passport for 5 ₽.
A promotional prize draw prize above 4 000 ₽ a year — 35 %, a prize to a non-resident — 30 %, other prizes to a resident — on the general scale, from 13 %. The tax is withheld by the organiser that pays the prize in cash.
If the contractor works as self-employed, check the status on the payout date — for 5 ₽ against the Federal Tax Service database. If there is no status, pay them as an ordinary individual.
If the marketplace pays money out to the seller — yes, before the first withdrawal. A document and anti-fraud rule out other people’s passports, watchlists and sanctions apply to large amounts, and linked accounts are visible by payout details.
Finalists are checked the same way as online: a document and Liveness at registration. Spectator entry by named tickets is a separate scenario for events.
A document with anti-fraud — from 16 ₽ per session, with Liveness — from 29 ₽, INN, self-employed status and watchlists — 5 ₽ each. There is no subscription fee. A test — in the test scenario in your personal account.
