What GetBotl Is
GetBotl is a technology platform that connects adult consumers with licensed liquor stores in New York for on-demand alcohol delivery. GetBotl does not sell alcohol directly — all sales are made by licensed retail store partners.
The legal sale of alcohol is completed by the licensed store at the time of checkout. GetBotl provides the platform, payment processing, age verification, and delivery coordination.

Age Verification
Age verification is required by law and is mandatory for all users.

You must complete a one-time identity check by submitting a photo of a valid government-issued ID. This confirms you are 21 or older and is required only once.

Purchasing alcohol for anyone under 21 is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account termination.
