Florida has filed lawsuits against adult gaming platform Nutaku, its parent company Aylo, and payment processor Segpay, accusing them of failing to comply with the state’s new age verification law, HB3. The law, which went into effect in January, requires online platforms to ensure that Florida-based visitors are at least 18 before accessing explicit material.
Nutaku, operated by Aylo — which also owns Pornhub and other major adult sites — runs two platforms: nutaku.com, which hosts “safe-for-work” content, and nutaku.net, which offers sexually explicit games. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier alleges that Nutaku and another Aylo-owned site, Spicevids, violated HB3 by continuing to allow access through a simple click-to-confirm age gate instead of verifying users’ identities. By contrast, Aylo blocked access to other adult platforms in Florida when the law took effect.
In a separate filing, Uthmeier targeted Segpay, a Florida-based payment processor that works with high-risk adult entertainment clients. The complaint alleges Segpay enabled the adult game site Lustyheroes to operate without conducting proper age verification, making the company complicit in violating HB3.
Aylo has pushed back, saying it believes both Spicevids and Nutaku are in compliance. A company spokesperson claimed that Spicevids has implemented verification systems consistent with HB3, while Nutaku’s explicit content makes up less than the law’s 33.3% threshold for classifying a site as pornographic.
Florida’s lawsuits follow similar actions last month against other porn platforms, including XVideos, XNXX, Bang Bros, and Girls Gone Wild. The state is one of 20 nationwide that now mandate digital age checks for adult content.
Uthmeier defended the aggressive enforcement, stating:
“Multiple porn companies are flagrantly breaking Florida’s age verification law by exposing children to harmful, explicit content. As Attorney General, and as a father, this is unacceptable. We will hold them accountable.”
