The standard, on the record

Since 1997, BARS has completed more than 7,500,000 compliance checks for over 500 retail customers. That is one of the deepest age-restricted retail data sets in North America. Here is the record: customer stories, aggregate outcomes, and operators willing to say so by name.

Common questions

Where do these numbers come from?

All headline numbers are calculated from BARS internal program data covering more than 7,500,000 compliance checks for over 500 retail customers since 1997. The procedures behind those checks have not changed since 1997, so the older data and the newer data measure the same thing. Methodology is documented and available for client and partner review.
