Know Your Customer verification process

Why do I need to verify my account?

One thing all our players have to do is verify their age, identity, and address by sending us documents. This is because we have licensing and legal responsibilities.

This verification process is known as 'Know Your Customer' (KYC). It can happen at any stage, not just at registration or when you first deposit.

KYC verification helps us to protect players and create a safe environment. We need to make sure that:

  • Vulnerable players, such as minors, don't access our services.

  • Each player has an account.

  • We reduce the risk of fraud or duplicate accounts.

  • A real person with an active email address created the account.

  • We have the means to contact our players if we need to.

As a live casino would ask you to verify your identity, we also make sure that our players are who they say they are.

We use electronic checks to confirm player identities and ages, although we can't validate 100% of our players electronically. In some cases, we'll need to see your documents for KYC purposes.

Which documents do I need to send?

Depending on your registration country or license, we may accept different documents.
