How to claim your prize? KYC explained
KYC (Know Your Customer) is a verification of identity. All legitimate casinos require it before the first withdrawal. Detailed instructions to avoid any problems.
Why do I need KYC?
- Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Legislation
- Fraud prevention
- 18+ verification
- Identity theft protection
- Responsible Gaming — Multi-Account Ban
Typical process
1. Personal identification number
- ID card (both sides)
- Passport (photo page)
- Driving license
Tips: the photo should be sharp, clearly legible, and the corners should NOT be cut off. Selfies with ID are sometimes requested.
2. Proof of address
- Utility bill (not older than 3 months)
- Bank statement (with address)
- Tax authority letter
- Address card
3. Payment method confirmation
- Bank card: Photo with first 4 + last 4 digits (middle obscured), name and expiration date visible
- E-wallet: Screenshot of the account (name and email visible)
- Crypto: Wallet address verification
- Bank transfer: Bank statement
4. Source of Funds (SOF)
For larger amounts (€5,000+), the casino may ask where the money comes from:
- Employer certificate
- Bank statement (3-6 months)
- Tax authority declaration
- Investment/inheritance/business document
Period
KYC processing usually takes 24-72 hours . In urgent cases, please contact us via live chat.

Typical problems and solutions
'Documents not clear'

Wagering not fulfilled

'Suspicious activity'Multi-account or VPN usage suspected. Contact customer service and explain the situation.
Slow processing
Live chat → urge in 'pending withdrawal' state. Refer to license if necessary.
Pro tips
- Complete KYC IMMEDIATELY AFTER REGISTRATION — don't wait until your first withdrawal
- Always provide real information (name, date of birth, address)
- Don't open multiple accounts at the same casino — forever.
- Don't use a VPN — many casinos ban it
- The name used on the bank card and the casino account name must match
