Our Know Your Customer (KYC) policy outlines the measures we take to verify the identity of our users, prevent fraud, and adhere to legal and regulatory requirements. This policy also explains how your personal information is collected, used, and protected during the KYC process.
Introduction to KYC
KYC is a critical aspect of responsible online gaming. The purpose of this policy is to establish a framework for verifying the identity of our users, ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and preventing fraudulent activities. KYC procedures are essential for maintaining the integrity of our platform and ensuring the safety and security of our players.
Data Collection
As part of our KYC process, we collect various types of data, including:

- Identification Documents: We may request government-issued identification documents such as passports, driver’s licenses, or national ID cards to confirm your identity.
- Proof of Address: To comply with regulations, we may request documents such as utility bills or bank statements as proof of your residential address.
Legal Basis for KYC
Our KYC procedures are conducted based on legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) requirements. The legal basis for processing your data for KYC purposes is to comply with these obligations.
