Error code
30888: Campaign vetting rejection - Age Gate Not Present / Not Acceptable
Eligible for resubmission. Stated by: GHL 155000007572; LC 155000004749; Twilio page.
What this error means
You declared age-gated content but the website or opt-in flow doesn't show an acceptable age gate.
Causes, most likely first
- Website URL doesn't show an age gate before age-restricted content.
- Opt-in flow doesn't verify age before enrolment.
- Verification method unacceptable, e.g. a simple yes/no prompt.
- The submission claims age-gated content but doesn't demonstrate the gate.
How to fix it
If your numbers are managed by a platform
If your numbers sit inside a reseller platform, for example LeadConnector numbers inside GoHighLevel, you do not have access to the Twilio Console, and the interface shows the rejection without the code. Ask that platform's support team for the Twilio rejection error code, in writing, before you change anything. You can also read it yourself from your browser, which is faster: see how to get the code.
The substance of the fix is yours to make: the business details, the website, and the opt-in flow described in the Twilio path all belong to you, not to the platform. Make those changes first, confirm they are live, then ask support to resubmit. A resubmission filed before the underlying facts change will fail again on the same reason.
If you own the Twilio account
Add a robust age gate before users can access age-restricted content or opt in. Use a method that demonstrates the minimum age, full date of birth, or a third-party age-verification service. Update the message flow to explain where and how age verification happens. Resubmit.
Timing and resubmission
Edit and resubmit after the gate is live on the site.
Twilio publishes an indicative review timeline for campaigns: Sole Proprietor campaigns are typically approved or rejected within hours to days, and Standard campaigns go through several layers of vetting and can take up to several weeks. Twilio also states that the vetting fee is assessed only once per campaign, so editing and resubmitting the same campaign does not incur a new fee, while deleting and recreating it does.
