A computer implemented method comprising: receiving, at a processor, an indication that consent is required to enable one or more features associated with a user account in an online gaming platform; initiating, by the processor, a first video communication session between the online gaming platform and a device associated with the user account, wherein the first video communication session includes a first person as a participant in video transmitted from the device associated with the user account; detecting, by the processor, presence of a second person as a participant within the first video communication session, wherein the second person is participating via the device associated with the user account, and wherein detecting the presence of the second person is based on programmatically analyzing the video transmitted from the device associated with the user account to determine a number of persons present in the video transmitted from the device; receiving, by the processor, an indication that a consent verification process is permitted by the device associated with the user account; initiating, by the processor, in response to the indication, a second video communication session between the online gaming platform, the device associated with the user account, and one or more consent verification system operator devices associated with a consent verification system, wherein the second video communication session includes participation of the second person and wherein the video transmitted from the device associated with the user account is provided to the one or more consent verification system operator devices; receiving, by the processor, a consent verification response from the consent verification system, wherein the consent verification response is based on programmatically analyzing, without human input, the video transmitted from the device associated with the user account to determine whether the second person in the video matches a pre-registered face in the user account, wherein: if it is determined that the second person in the video matches a pre-registered face in the user account, the consent verification response indicates that consent is verified; and if it is determined that the second person in the video does not match the pre-registered face in the user account, the consent verification response indicates that consent is not verified; and if the consent verification response indicates consent is verified, enabling the one or more features associated with the user account. receiving, at a processor, an indication that consent is required to enable one or more features associated with a user account in an online gaming platform;
