Link in bio with a built-in 18+ age gate

If any link on your bio page leads to adult content, most platforms and ad networks expect a confirmation step in front of it. It is also just good practice: the people who tapped by mistake bounce, and the people who meant to arrive click through.

What an age gate actually does

• Shows a confirmation before the content loads — not after, not on the destination page, but on the link itself.
• Remembers the answer on that device for a set period (Linkamy uses 30 days) so returning visitors don’t see it every time.
• Filters out accidental taps and gives you a clean, defensible “we asked” step.

What it doesn’t do

Be clear-eyed about the limits so you don’t rely on it for more than it gives you:

• It is not identity verification. It asks; it does not check an ID or a credit card.
• It does not, by itself, satisfy every jurisdiction’s law. Some regions now require verified age checks for adult sites. An age gate is the baseline, not the whole legal answer — check what applies where your audience is.
• It is not a paywall or a login. It is a yes/no confirmation.

How to add one without adding friction

• Gate only the links that need it. Your Spotify link doesn’t need an 18+ screen; your OnlyFans link does. Per-link control keeps the rest of your page frictionless.
• Keep the copy plain. “This link contains adult content. Confirm you are 18 or older.” One line, one button.
• Make it remember. A gate that reappears on every visit trains your real fans to hesitate.
• Don’t stack it with three other interstitials. One confirmation, then straight through.

Turning it on in Linkamy

On any link, switch on Age gate 18+. Visitors get a clean confirmation screen before the redirect, and it’s remembered for 30 days on that device. It works alongside the in-app browser escape, so the visitor confirms once and then lands in their real browser — where the sign-in or checkout behind the link actually works.

The age gate is included on the Pro and Growth plans. Free to try, no card.
