KYC
Verified in minutes, without losing the player at the door.
KYC is identity verification, age confirmation, and ongoing due diligence tuned to each jurisdiction you operate in — clearing legitimate players in minutes, escalating the rest to a reviewer with the evidence in hand, and keeping the audit trail current for as long as the account exists.
What it does
Every operator faces the same tension. Regulators require you to know who a player is, how old they are, where their money comes from, and whether their name appears on a list — and to keep knowing it for the life of the account. Players, meanwhile, will abandon a registration that asks for a passport photo before they have seen a game. The onboarding flow is where compliance and conversion collide, and most implementations sacrifice one for the other.
KYC resolves the tension with risk tiers. A player's first steps are verified against authoritative data sources invisibly; a document and a liveness check are requested only when the jurisdiction, the deposit level, or the risk signals call for it. Screening against sanctions, politically exposed persons, and adverse media runs at onboarding and continuously afterwards. Source-of-funds and affordability checks trigger on the thresholds each market sets. The player experiences one clean flow; compliance sees a complete file that updates itself.
Capabilities
Document verification and liveness
Government identity documents are captured, authenticated, and read automatically; a liveness check confirms the person presenting the document is present and real, defeating photos, replays, and masks.
Age and identity confirmation against authoritative sources
Where the market allows, identity and age are confirmed against credit bureau, electoral, and government data without asking the player for a document at all — the fastest path for the majority.
Risk-tiered onboarding by jurisdiction
Each market gets its own verification ladder: what is checked at registration, what is checked at first deposit, and what triggers enhanced due diligence. Players see only the steps their situation requires.
Sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening
Names are screened against global sanctions lists, politically exposed persons databases, and adverse-media sources at onboarding, with fuzzy matching tuned to reduce false positives and a review queue for the rest.
Ongoing monitoring and re-verification
Screening re-runs as lists change. Document expiry, changed details, unusual deposit patterns, and jurisdictional rules trigger re-verification automatically, so the file never silently goes stale.
Source-of-funds and affordability
Threshold-based requests for proof of income or wealth, structured document collection, and affordability assessments where regulators require them — recorded against the account for inspection.
Frameworks we work against
Verification steps and record-keeping are built to satisfy the anti-money-laundering, gambling, and data-protection regimes across the markets operators serve.
- EU AMLD5 / AMLD6
- Customer due diligence, enhanced due diligence, and record retention obligations under the European anti-money-laundering directives.
- UKGC LCCP
- The Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice covering age verification, customer interaction, and affordability for British-facing operators.
- eIDAS
- Recognition of European electronic identification schemes as a verification route where players hold a qualifying digital identity.
- GDPR
- Identity data collected with a documented lawful basis, retained only as regulation requires, and deletable on request when obligations lapse.
- FATF Recommendations
- The risk-based approach to customer due diligence that the tiering model implements.
- ISO/IEC 30107
- Biometric presentation attack detection standards that the liveness check is evaluated against.
Why operators choose it
— Most players never see a manual review
Authoritative-source checks and automated document reading clear the majority in the background. Reviewers see the genuinely ambiguous cases, with the evidence already assembled.
— One flow, per-market rules
The player-facing experience is the same everywhere; what happens behind it is configured per jurisdiction. Entering a new market means adding a rule set, not building a new onboarding.
— The audit trail writes itself
Every check, result, document, and reviewer decision is stored against the account with a timestamp. A regulator's request for a customer file is an export, not an investigation.
