The ICO (UK data protection authority) has confirmed its Age Appropriate Design Code. A lot of potentially onerous requirements on online companies (including games) to protect children's interests online. Code expected to come into effect by autumn 2021.https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/key-data-protection-themes/age-appropriate-design-a-code-of-practice-for-online-services/ …
Some of the more potentially onerous requirements of the AADC are: (1) putting children's data setting on 'high privacy' by default; (2) establish age of users with a level of certainty; and (3) provide prominent tools to help children understand their rights and how to report.

Establish age of users with a level of certainty? Is this saying we can't rely on users to enter age honesty and we need some 3rd party verification of it?

From an initial read it looks like it will ride primarily on the level and types of data your processing about children (the more invasive = the more certainty needed). If you're doing very little processing a lesser solution may be OK.
