Kyc

At Instant Casino, our commitment extends beyond providing an entertaining gaming experience. We are legally obligated to ensure the security, integrity, and fairness of our platform for all users. Identity verification, commonly known as Know Your Customer (KYC), is a fundamental part of this commitment. It protects you from fraud, prevents underage gambling, and helps us comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. By verifying your identity, we create a safer environment for everyone to enjoy Instant Casino responsibly.

KYC, or Know Your Customer, refers to the mandatory process of identifying and verifying the identity of our customers. This involves collecting and reviewing specific documentation to confirm that you are who you claim to be. It is a standard practice across regulated financial services and online gaming industries. This process helps Instant Casino understand our customers better, assess potential risks, and fulfill our legal and regulatory responsibilities.

Verification is an ongoing process that may be triggered at various stages of your relationship with Instant Casino. Typically, you will be asked to complete initial verification shortly after registration. Further verification may be required when you:

• Reach certain deposit or withdrawal thresholds.
• Request your first withdrawal.
• Change significant account details.
• Display unusual or suspicious transaction patterns.
• Are subject to periodic reviews mandated by our licensing authority.
• Are identified as requiring enhanced due diligence.

We reserve the right to request verification at any time we deem necessary to comply with our legal obligations or to protect the security of your account.

To complete the verification process, you may be asked to provide several types of documents. These are generally categorised into proof of identity, proof of address, and proof of payment method. In some cases, we may also require documentation related to your source of funds. All documents must be clear, valid, and show all relevant details. Blurred or incomplete documents will not be accepted and will delay your verification.

Proof of identity is required to confirm your legal name and date of birth. Accepted documents include:

• A valid, government-issued passport (showing photo, full name, date of birth, and expiry date).
• A valid, government-issued national identity card (showing photo, full name, date of birth, and expiry date).
• A valid, government-issued driving licence (showing photo, full name, date of birth, and expiry date).

The document must be current and not expired. We may require a clear photo of both the front and back of the document.

Proof of address is necessary to confirm your residential location. Documents must be dated within the last three months (unless otherwise specified) and clearly show your full name and address. Accepted documents include:

• A utility bill (e.g., electricity, water, gas, internet, landline phone bill, but not mobile phone bills).
• A bank statement or credit card statement.
• A government-issued letter or tax statement.

The document must be issued by an independent third party. Screenshots of online bills or statements are acceptable provided they clearly show the issuer's logo, your name, address, and the date.

To prevent fraud and ensure that funds are handled securely, we may require verification of the payment methods used on your Instant Casino account. The specific requirements depend on the method used:

• Credit/Debit Cards: A clear photo of the front of the card, showing the first six and last four digits of the card number, your name, and the expiry date. The middle eight digits can be obscured. The CVV/CVC code on the back must be covered.
• E-Wallets (e.g., Skrill, Neteller, PayPal): A screenshot of your e-wallet account page showing your name, email address, and the account ID.
• Bank Transfers: A copy of a recent bank statement showing your name, account number, and the bank's logo. Transaction details can be redacted.

You must only use payment methods registered in your own name. Third-party payments are not permitted.

In certain circumstances, particularly for larger transactions or as part of our ongoing monitoring, Instant Casino may be legally required to request information regarding your source of funds (SOF) or source of wealth (SOW). This is part of our enhanced due diligence procedures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. We may ask for documents such as:

• Payslips or employment contracts.
• Bank statements showing accumulated wealth.
• Proof of inheritance or property sale.
• Business ownership documentation.

These requests are made in compliance with regulatory requirements and are handled with the utmost confidentiality.

Once you submit your documents, our dedicated team will review them. We aim to process all verification requests as quickly as possible. Standard verification typically takes between 24 to 72 hours, though this can vary depending on the volume of requests and the clarity of the documents provided. You will receive an email notification once your verification is complete or if further information is required. You can also check the status of your verification within your Instant Casino account profile.

Instant Casino takes the security and privacy of your personal data very seriously. All documents and personal information you provide are stored securely using advanced encryption technologies and strict access controls. We comply with all applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Your data will only be used for the purposes of identity verification, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance. We will never share your information with unauthorised third parties.

Instant Casino operates under strict anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Our KYC procedures are a critical component of our AML framework. By verifying customer identities and monitoring transactions, we actively work to prevent our platform from being used for illicit activities such as money laundering or terrorist financing. We report suspicious activities to the relevant authorities, as required by law.

Instant Casino is strictly for individuals aged 18 or over. Age verification is a non-negotiable part of our KYC process. We have robust systems in place to prevent underage gambling. Any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately closed, and any winnings forfeited. We are committed to protecting minors and promoting responsible gaming practices.

If your verification is delayed, it usually means the documents provided were unclear, incomplete, or did not meet our requirements. We will contact you via email or through your Instant Casino account to explain what additional information is needed. If verification is ultimately unsuccessful, and we cannot confirm your identity, we may be unable to offer you our services, and your account may be restricted or closed. Our decision in such matters is final and in accordance with our terms and conditions and regulatory obligations.

If you have any questions about the KYC process, require assistance with uploading documents, or need clarification on any aspect of our verification policy, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support team. You can reach us via live chat or email. Our team is available to guide you through the process and address any concerns you may have regarding your Instant Casino account verification.
