      Know Your Customer verification process

      Why do I need to verify the account?

      We need to ensure that we're in line with our licensing and legal requirements and that we've documented proof of their age, identity, and address from our players. This process is known as "Know Your Customer"(KYC) checks.

      As a regulated gambling operator, we need to ensure that all gaming activity on our site:

      • Is fair and safe
      • It is not linked to criminal activity.
      • It is in line with customer profiles and our understanding of their activity.

      This process is similar to opening a bank account and collecting customer information for identification and verification purposes.

      We use electronic checks to confirm players' identities and ages. Unfortunately, we can't validate 100% of our customers electronically, and in these cases, you'll need to send us KYC documents.

      What documents can I send?
      Proof of Identity

      As proof of Identity (ID), one of the following current and valid documents are acceptable:

      • Passport
      • Driving License front and back
      • National ID card (front and back)

      If you're unable to send the above, the below documents are acceptable:

      • Residence card (front and back)
      • Birth certificate together with a recent utility bill showing your full name, current address, and statement date (No older than 3 months).
      • Armed Forces ID card
      • CitizenCard or the PASS card™ (must be sent together with a birth certificate showing matching information).
      Proof of address

      As a part of our continued efforts to protect the security of our customer data and continued compliance commitment towards the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), please ensure when providing us with documents that:

      • Only the first 6 and last 4 digits of your card number(s) are visible. All other digits must be protected (masked or covered) and/or rendered unreadable (1234 56*****7777).
      • You don't send a copy of the back of your credit/debit card(s).

      • If the credit/debit card numbers don't appear on your bank statement, send us a sample showing the most recent transactions to your user account.

      ** We don't accept bank statements from online banks such as Revolut, Monese, Monzo, Atom, N26, Pockit Ltd, etc., as valid proof of address.

      Why have you asked me to send more documents?

      Occasionally, we may ask for more documents to satisfy our regulatory obligations or perform advanced verification based on your activity. We need to understand our customers and their activities to keep you (and us) safe when playing on our sites.

      Not all customers will have to go through this process, but if you do, we will contact you asking for the documents needed.

      Ensure your current email address is up to date, as this might impact your ability to play.

      What is the Source of Wealth (SOW), and why is this important?

      Source of wealth describes how a customer, or their family, has acquired their total wealth. For example, we'll need to look at the activities that generate or contribute to the player's financial accumulation and other assets.

      Examples of sources of wealth:

      • Inheritance
      • Investments
      • Ownership of a business
      • Employment

      This process helps us prevent money laundering on our site and protect players from a responsible gaming perspective.

      What documents do you need for Source of Wealth?

      Don't worry, we'll only ask for documents specific to your betting. Supporting documents to verify wealth can include one of the following:

      • Signed letter from employer on company letterhead confirming salary, employment start date, and profession.
      • The bank statement shows your last three salary payments.
      • Investment statements.
      • Copy of accounts where the customer is self-employed, showing salary and details of the customer.
      • Letter from lawyers handling the sale of property or business.
      • Other clear evidence related to your Poker/ Gambling Winnings (including Lottery).
      What is the Source of Funds (SOF), and why does it matter?

      The source of funds describes a customer's immediate source of funds, such as the deposit method used to credit the player's account.

      As part of our licensing and legal obligations, we must get specific information from our players to conduct internal security checks.

      In all instances, regardless of your location, we need to ensure:

      • The right person is using the account.
      • We protect our players from fraud or being linked to illegal activities.
      • Our players can play on our site in a manner that doesn't harm their personal and financial well-being.
      • We're acting in line with Laws and Regulations in the regions we operate.
