Usual sky is falling BS and rumour....
Verotel did pull the processing for all "under@ge model sites, and will probably require "Visa Registration" (? in EU) possibly as of April 1st
Some suppose quoted text
Quote:
"Verotel has been processing VISA and MasterCard transactions
for more than six years now. As an Internet Payment Service
Provider, we have to comply with the latest demands
from the card companies. These demands are mostly
related to protecting the brand names 'VISA' and
'MasterCard'.
In line with these demands, we have to inform you about
important changes related to your website(s).
As of today, the acquiring banks we are working with,
do not process any transactions anymore of websites
that are related to under@ge models. Even if the models
are fully dressed and are not involved in any sexual
explicit behaviour, these websites do infringe on the
brand names of the card companies.
An underage model is every model (male or female),
that is under 18 years of age, and/or any model
over 18 years of age, but pictured as an under@ge model.
In addition, the words '******' and/or 'little' are
not allowed in the domain name anymore."

.... and the section missing from many "quotes"
Quote:
In line with these demands, we have suspended your account
and will not release any funds until six months from now.
That means that you will not receive any payments
until at least October this year. Your account stays
reachable with the Verotel Control Center for future
updates and information about your payments.
Please note and understand that copies of passports
and model releases do not help to fight any suspensions
of your Verotel account.
We regret that we have to inform you about this, but
this is a step made by the card companies over which
we do not have direct control.

As a Verotel user I have recieved no official communication, and am waiting on a reply to my query now.
