Identity Verification (KYC): Why and How

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a mandatory procedure in most legal online casinos. Its purpose is to confirm the identity of the player, the source of funds and the legality of operations. Without KYC passing, it is impossible to win at most licensed casinos.

Why KYC is needed

1. Compliance with law and license. Casinos are required to comply with anti-money laundering and anti-financing regulations.
2. Fraud protection. The check excludes the possibility of playing on behalf of someone else and using stolen payment data.
3. Control of age restrictions. It is confirmed that the player has reached the legal age.
4. Security of payments. Eliminates the risk of transferring winnings to someone else's account.

When passing is required

Before the first withdrawal.
With large amounts of winnings.
In case of suspicious activity on the account.
When changing payment details.

What documents are needed

1. Proof of identity

Passport
Driver's license
Foreign passport or national ID card
2. Address confirmation

Utility bill
Bank statement
Official letter from a government agency
3. Payment method confirmation

Photo card (with closed CVV and part of the number)
Screenshot of a wallet or online bank

How is the procedure

1. Upload documents from your casino account or support email.
2. Data verification by the security department (from several minutes to 72 hours).
3. Verify and unblock your withdrawal.

Quick check tips

Use the same data as during registration.
Pass KYC in advance, not at the first output request.
Verify that the documents are valid and have not expired.

Conclusion:

• KYC is not a formality, but a mandatory stage that protects both the casino and the player. The sooner you pass the test, the faster you can get a win without unnecessary delays.
