We need to positively identify our customers to:

  • Comply with regulatory requirements.

  • Ensure the security of your account.


What is KYC?

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a process where you provide proof of identity and proof of residential address. Verification is required before you can make withdrawals.


How to Verify Your Identity

Accepted ID documents:

  • Driving License

  • Passport

  • National ID card or other government-issued identity document

Requirements:

  • Full picture showing all corners.

  • Must not be expired.

  • Scans or screenshots are not accepted.


How to Verify Your Address

Accepted documents:

  • Utility Bill

  • Council Tax Bill

  • Bank Statement

Requirements:

  • Dated within the last 3 months.

  • PDF files are preferred (especially for energy/water bills or bank statements).

  • Photographs must show all corners of the page.

  • Screenshots or edited versions are not valid.


Common Questions

1. Why was I able to deposit but cannot use my funds?

  • If your last transaction exceeded โ‚ฌ2000, documents must be verified before reopening your account. Funds cannot be released until verification is complete.

2. If I made a withdrawal before being locked, will it cancel?

  • No. Withdrawals remain valid, but verification is required before the account is fully active.

3. Can I edit or crop my document before sending?

  • No. Altered documents are not valid. We need the actual document to verify your account.

4. Why was my document initially accepted but my account is restricted again?

  • Automatic approvals may later be rejected if:

    • Document is expired, cropped, or unclear

    • Format is invalid

    • Information could not be read

5. Why is my account suspended?

  • It may happen because:

    • You reached a verification threshold requiring additional documents

    • Previously submitted documents were invalid

  • Accounts may also be restricted to meet regulatory obligations (e.g., UK Gambling Commission).


Important Notes

  • Please check this article on document verification to ensure correct documents are sent.

  • Processing can take time; your account will be fully active once approved.

  • Failure to provide required documents or pass age/KYC checks may result in account suspension.
