KYC & AML

Why KYC and AML Matter

Every safe game needs clear rules. That’s what KYC and AML are for — to keep play honest and money clean. And it’s not about control, but it’s about trust. When both sides follow the same rules, everyone stays protected.
KYC means Know Your Customer — we check who you are and where your funds come from. AML means Anti-Money Laundering — laws that stop the use of gambling for illegal activity. These rules exist everywhere, and we follow them fully.
If a transaction looks strange, we may check it. Not to accuse, but to be sure nothing illegal is happening. It keeps the game fully safe for everyone.

Our Role and Responsibility

Our job is simple, it‘s to keep the platform fair and transparent. That means watching for signs of illegal use and acting if something looks wrong.
By law, if we suspect money comes from crime or terrorism, we must report it and may freeze the account. It’s not punishment, but it’s protection.
1win also keeps basic records of who plays and what payments are made. Most players never notice these checks, as they work quietly in the background.
In the end, the point is fairness. Clear rules mean trust, and trust keeps the game alive.

What Is Considered as Money Laundering

Money laundering means an attempt to hide where money really comes from.It means when someone takes money earned illegally and tries to make it look clean. And moves it through banks, companies (or even gambling accounts).
That’s why most countries now treat this as a serious crime. They want to stop illegal money from blending into the normal economy. We share that goal and follow the same global rules.
Our system checks the clients for any unusual activity. And if something doesn’t fit the usual pattern (too large, too fast, even too complex), we take a closer look. It’s how we make sure no one uses our platform to hide or move dirty funds.

Your Obligations as a User

When you open an account, you agree to play fair. That means your money must come from legal sources, and you must follow all laws on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing.
If we ever ask for information to confirm where your funds come from, please provide it quickly. These checks protect both you and the platform.
You also confirm that you don’t know — and don’t suspect — your funds are linked to anything illegal.
Together, we keep the process clean and transparent. It’s not about paperwork, but it’s about trust that works both ways.

How We Verify and Why

Before you start playing here, we need to know who you are. It’s a basic step that helps keep everyone safe. It‘s like showing an ID at a bank or airport. And we ask for simple details: your full name, your address, and where the money you use comes from, of course.
Sometimes we may ask for documents to confirm this — a passport or ID card, a recent bill, or a bank statement. It sounds formal, but it’s just to make sure the person using the account is really you.
All these checks follow the same laws that banks and licensed gaming sites follow. They’re not here to bother you, as they exist only to protect both sides. Once your account is verified, you can freely play, as you know already that everything is clear and secure.

What Happens if Something Looks Wrong

From time to time, a transaction may look unusual. Maybe it’s larger than normal, or comes from a new place. When that happens, we might need to pause and check. It’s nothing personal, as it’s part of how the system keeps crime out.
If there’s a real concern, we may freeze the funds while we report the case to the authorities. Most our players never face this, because the process works very quietly in the background.
We never share details unless the law requires it. Your privacy stays protected. These steps exist so that honest players can feel safe, knowing that every game runs on clean ground.

Data and Privacy

The information you share with us stays private. We keep your documents and records only for as long as the law requires. They are stored securely and never used for anything else.
We don’t sell or share your data. The only time we might pass it on is if the law or an official request makes it necessary.
These rules protect you — the client — as much as they protect us the platform. And when your data is handled carefully, the whole system stays cleaner and stronger.

Shared Trust

KYC and AML are not about control. They’re about trust — the kind that builds when both sides play fair and follow the same rules.
So, we check identities, watch for risks, and keep money clean. You provide honest details and stay open when asked for proof. Together that makes a safe, fair space where everyone knows what to expect.
