Commitment to KYC, AML and CTF in the UK

This policy explains how WG casino applies identity check and ID verification, document submission and transaction monitoring to meet regulatory requirements set by the UK Gambling Commission. The objectives are to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing, protect personal data and account protection, and promote transparency for user safety.

Why KYC and AML Procedures Are Applied

KYC and AML procedures are used to verify identity, deter fraud and combat financial crime across the casino and sportsbook. These controls support responsible gambling and keep services aligned with United Kingdom law.

  • Fair play upheld across games and markets
  • User safety and account protection supported by proportionate security measures
  • Transparency regarding processes and regulatory requirements
  • Compliance with UK AML and CTF laws and reporting obligations
  • Clear document submission standards and timelines

KYC and Identity Verification Requirements

Every new account holder must complete ID verification and an identity check before full access to services. The operator may request document submission to confirm details provided during registration and use.

  • Valid government-issued photo identification
  • Proof of residential address from a reliable source
  • Evidence of payment-method ownership by the account holder

AML Controls and Security Measures

The platform implements security measures to prevent money laundering and illegal activity in line with UK standards. Controls are risk-based and proportionate to the products offered.

  • Transaction monitoring of deposits, withdrawals and betting activity
  • Automated detection rules to flag suspicious activity and patterns
  • Enhanced due diligence for high-risk situations, including PEPs and higher-risk jurisdictions
  • Review of large, complex or unusual transfers and activity spikes
  • Customer and product risk scoring with periodic reassessment
  • Sanctions screening and PEP screening against relevant UK and international lists
  • Reporting to the National Crime Agency when required by law, following reporting obligations

Activities Not Allowed Under KYC and AML Rules

Platform rules prohibit conduct that undermines verification and AML controls. Restrictions apply to protect user safety, maintain transparency and comply with regulatory requirements.

  • Operating multiple accounts or impersonating another person
  • Providing forged, altered or stolen documents
  • Attempting to launder funds or disguise beneficial ownership
  • Manipulating systems, odds, software or game outcomes
  • Sharing, transferring or selling account access
  • Using third-party or anonymous payment instruments
  • Misrepresenting identity or source of funds

Consequences for Non-Compliance

Breaches of KYC or AML obligations lead to proportionate enforcement in line with UK law and licensing conditions. Actions may be taken without prior notice where risk or legal requirements demand it.

Temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings, reporting to competent authorities where applicable.

User Responsibilities for Verification and Safety

Users must provide accurate and up-to-date personal data and complete verification within stated timeframes. Prompt responses to any request for additional document submission are required to support ongoing checks and account protection. Only payment methods owned by the account holder may be used for deposits and withdrawals. Users must report any suspicious activity or security concern to support AML controls and responsible gambling measures. Cooperation may include providing information on the source of funds where appropriate under regulatory requirements.

Fair Play, Transparency and Ongoing Protection

The operator is committed to fair play and transparency to maintain a safe environment across casino and sportsbook services. Measures are designed to protect users and uphold legal and regulatory standards in the United Kingdom.

  • Adherence to KYC, AML and CTF standards applicable in the UK
  • Confidentiality and protection of personal data through appropriate security measures
  • Ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity and prompt escalation where needed
  • Prevention of manipulation, collusion and other unfair behaviour
  • User support and guidance on safety and verification matters
  • Shared responsibility between the operator and users for risk management
  • Equal conditions and consistent rules for all participants
