I think card payment is best option for paysites.
OK, you could say what about those without cards? But I say are those few worth the hassel?

The age verification is a tricky process I agree to that, in general you can't get a phone number without someone over the 18 signs a contract, at that time they can block access to premium services (high tarif sms, premium rate numbers and international calling)
You do get rebills, it's only in the UK we can do automatic rebills by SMS at this moment, in other countries they have to either send a new SMS message or call again, and people actually do that and it will work for everybody that do not base their business model on people that forget to cancel their CC rebills
You are the only one that can decide if the few people without credit cards (minimum 85% of all online surfers) is worth the trouble of setting up an alternative for them or not. With free setup, no holdback on payments, no refunds or chargebacks it certainly doesn't hurt giving it a try
