A legally sustainable betting business is impossible without strict adherence to the KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures. These processes provide identification of players, protection against fraud, money laundering and compliance with licensing authorities. At the same time, the platform is obliged to restrict access to users from prohibited jurisdictions, observing geopolitical and legal norms.
What is KYC
KYC (Know Your Customer) is the process of verifying a user's identity.
| What includes | Why do you need it |
|---|---|
| Passport/ID | Proof of identity and age |
| Address | Check country of residence |
| Card/Invoice | Matching deposit sources |
| Selfie | Protection against fake accounts |
- On first withdrawal
- If amount limit is exceeded
- Suspected fraud or multiaccounting
What is AML
AML (Countering Money Laundering) is a system for controlling suspicious transactions:- Monitoring of large/frequent deposits
- Compare player activity to a typical profile
- Suspending suspicious leads
- Reports to licensing authorities in case of violations
- Storage of the history of financial transactions and documents
Country restrictions (GEO locks)
The platform is obliged to restrict access to the site and functionality from prohibited countries:| Restriction | Implementation example |
|---|---|
| IP Access Blocking | Automatic GEO detection via IP |
| Prohibition on registration | The form does not allow you to select a country from the list |
| Limit payment methods | Turning off local payment systems |
| Full account ban when bypassing | VPN Usage → Temporary Lockdown + Verification |
Examples of countries with restrictions: USA, France, Netherlands, North Korea, Iran, etc. (depending on the license).
How is implemented on the platform
Integration with KYC providers (Sumsub, iDenfy, ShuftiPro)- Check IP, country of document, payment details
- Reactions to triggers: large deposits, IP change, failed authorization attempts
- Automatically send verification notifications
- Logs and history of all KYC/AML activity in the admin panel
Platform benefits
Protection against regulatory sanctions- Reducing the risk of fraud and bonus fraud
- Transparent work with banks and PSP
- Working only with permitted regions
- Increased trust from players and partners
KYC/AML and geo-constraints are not a formality, but platform protection. Companies that build a reliable legal and technical basis in these matters operate legally, safely and have a competitive advantage in the international market.
