## Description

**Bar & Club Stats - ID Scanner** is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help bars, nightclubs, events, casinos, and retail establishments protect themselves from fake IDs and underage drinking. Utilizing your device's camera, it scans barcode IDs from all 50 US states and Canadian provinces, making ID verification quick and reliable.

Beyond simple scanning, this extension collects four pieces of anonymous data — time of scan, age, gender, and zip code — which are analyzed and accessible via an online dashboard. Users can track patron flow over different periods, understand demographic splits, and evaluate marketing efforts through insights such as popular age ranges and zip code trends. Magnetic stripe ID reading requires additional hardware available for rent or purchase at barandclubstats.com.

*Featured on Bar Rescue, this tool empowers venue owners with smarter, data-driven decisions to ensure safety and optimize customer engagement.*

## Review summary

User reviews present Bar & Club Stats as a potentially helpful ID scanner with a long-running presence in the market. Many praise its ability to aid verification and provide basic license details, especially on older versions. However, a large number of reviews report major reliability issues: crashes after updates, the app failing to open, and inconsistent fake-ID detection with real IDs misclassified as fake or fakes missed. Privacy concerns are also prominent, with claims of saved scans. A restrictive free tier and onboarding/support problems further frustrate users. Overall, reliability and privacy are the dominant concerns despite some positive feedback.

### Pros

- Useful for verifying IDs and identifying fake IDs
- Shows essential license data (name and birthdate) to help verification
- Longstanding, established tool with years of use
- Core ID scanning capability that provides the basic functionality

### Cons

- Crashes or won't open on multiple devices after updates
- Unreliable ID verification with false positives/negatives (real IDs flagged as fake or fakes missed)
- Privacy concerns about monitoring and saving customer ID data
- Very limited free version (only ~10 scans per day)
- Registration problems and poor developer support (delayed replies)
