As a licensed operator that complies with applicable laws and regulations, we are obliged to verify the identity of our players and prevent problems and fraud. This requires all players to produce certain documents 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?

Three types of documents 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):
   • ID Card
   • Passport
   • Driver’s licence
