1. When KYC Is Required
- Before your first withdrawal in real-money mode.
- Whenever cumulative deposits exceed 1,000 USDT.
- Whenever cumulative wagers or winnings trigger a risk rule.
- On any risk event (sanctions or PEP hit, unusual pattern, device-linked multi-accounting, chargeback, blockchain-analytics alert).
- Where required by local law or a competent authority.
2. Standard Documents
- Government-issued photo ID (passport, national ID card, or driver's licence).
- Liveness selfie or short video, matched to the ID.
- Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, government letter) issued within the last 90 days.
- Tax identification number where required by local law.
3. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)
Additional information may be requested for high-risk customers, PEPs, high-risk jurisdictions, and elevated deposit volumes:
- Source of funds evidence (payslips, tax returns, sale contracts, exchange statements).
- Source of wealth narrative.
- Corroborating on-chain records for crypto deposits.
- Beneficial-ownership declaration where a third party is involved.
4. Verification Providers
KYC is performed with regulated third-party providers using automated document authenticity checks, biometric matching, sanctions and PEP screening, and adverse-media checks. Providers act as data processors under a signed Data Processing Agreement.
5. Timing
Most verifications complete within minutes. Manual reviews and EDD may take up to 5 business days. Withdrawals are paused during review.
6. Failure to Verify
If you cannot or will not complete KYC or EDD, we may (i) refuse withdrawal, (ii) restrict gameplay, (iii) close the account, and (iv) return funds to their source subject to AML review. Funds proven to originate from Prohibited Conduct may be forfeited in accordance with law.
7. Data Handling
KYC records are stored encrypted at rest, access-controlled on a need-to-know basis, and retained for at least 5 years after the account is closed. See Privacy Policy and Data Retention & Security.
8. Your Rights
You may request access to your KYC file, correction of inaccuracies, and information about processors involved. Deletion is subject to AML retention obligations that override the right to erasure.
