selling content to WegCash

they posted on their websight:

What is an 'authorization only' charge?

If it's free, why do you need my credit card or checking account?

Those are two valid questions and here is why we require either one.
J4F Premium offers a totally FREE lifetime membership so you can experience great content without having to pay for it. Unfortunately our
agreements with the content providers require we can only let users view
their content once they have entered a valid credit card or checking
account to access our member area. The only way to comply and please
the content providers, while still giving members FREE access was to do
an authorization only charge. This type of transaction does not charge
any dollar amount on your account, but verifies that the account is
valid; the person is real and knew the correct information that matched
the account information on file.

Though a credit card or checking account does not qualify to verify your age, and you are required to be 18 years or older, it does give the content providers peace of mind knowing they have some course of action should a minor be caught viewing any of their content.

Is that true?
If it is NOT - don't say anything in order not to spoli your business relations,
if it IS true -
please confirm.

I would say not true. never heard of a content provider stating this and it's the content publisher who is responsible for the age of the viewer. Probably something in the smaal print that says you can view for 10 minutes, then they charge you.

This was the scam that Crescent used and recently put one of the bosses in prison.

What kind of bullshit, but sounds of course better than: Hey, pay for this - we also like to earn our money!
