As a licensed operator that complies with the law and applicable regulations, we are committed to verifying the identity of our players and preventing problematic activities or fraud. This requires all players to provide documentation upon request.

When is KYC required?

• On deposit, this may be requested using a risk-based approach.
• On withdrawal, full KYC (customer due diligence) will almost always be required.

What documents are needed to successfully verify a player?

There are three types of documents that can be requested: Proof of Identity (POI), Proof of Address (POD) and Proof of Deposit (POD).

1. For proof of identity, we require one of the following (government-issued):
