How can a credit card verify that the user is over 18? He may be a second user on a card that belongs to a parent.

Doesn't sound like a web site I'd be interested in. I wouldn't trust any info going into or coming out of a site that feels using a credit card # would be a good way to verify someone's age. Makes me wonder how old you are to be thinking such a thing. And you would be running this business??? Scary

Besides a credit card...there really isn't a way besides taking the customer's word for it. If the person clicks on the button that says "Yes, I am over 18; let me in" or whatever...there really isn't a definite way to keep that person out.

You can't. You can place a disclaimer on the entry page... clcik here only if: you agree that... and that you will not... and if you do... we accept no responsibility if... the guidelines for use are...
Then make the button for "No" take them to CartoonNetwork!

make a disclaimer under the UCC (uniform commercial code) to make the visitors swear under threat of perjury their age
