If you decline to have your face scanned or scanning fail to determine you as an adult. You'll be considered to be a minor and won't be allowed to play

It's not the first time China put restrictions on kids playtime. In 2019, China introduced multiple measures to reduce playtime among kids. Such as kids are only allowed to play half an hour every weekday and three hours in weekends
