In Telegram casinos, not only ease of entry is important, but also compliance with legal norms. Therefore, at a certain stage, the player may be faced with the need to go through KYC (Know Your Customer) - the process of identity verification. It is not always needed, but it is mandatory for large amounts, suspicious activity or according to the requirements of payment providers.
When KYC is requested
- When a certain amount of output is reached (for example, $500 or $1000)
- At high frequency of replenishment or outputs
- When using payment methods that require identification
- When anti-fraud filters are triggered (IP mismatch, duplicate accounts, proxies, etc.)
- At the request of the provider/aggregator within the AML/CTF policy
What KYC includes
The verification process can be single-level or multi-stage, depending on the project policy:
- First and last name
- Born on
- Country of residence
- Telegram ID
2. Documentary verification:
Passport/ID card/driver's license
Selfie with a document
(Sometimes) proof of address: communal bill, bank statement
3. Advanced check (if necessary):
Video interview or biometrics
Check your funding source
Top-up limits and rates
Technical Implementation and Safety
Documents are downloaded via WebApp or Telegram bot
Files are stored in encrypted S3 stores with limited access
Data processing - manually or through integration with KYC platforms (Sumsub, GetID, iDenfy, etc.)
After successful verification, the account is marked as "verified," the limits are removed/raised
Pre and post KYC limits

| Maximum on balance sheet | Up to $1,000 | No restrictions |
| Participation in tournaments | Limited | Full access |

Each casino sets limits individually, but verification always empowers the player.
