KYC and AML overview for the United Kingdom

Know Your Customer and Anti Money Laundering controls apply to all gambling services offered to customers in the United Kingdom. Spin My Win Casino follows UK regulatory requirements to carry out identity check and ID verification that protect user safety and promote transparency. These controls deter money laundering and terrorism financing and support responsible gaming under defined reporting obligations.

Why KYC and AML are required

KYC and AML processes are applied to verify identity, prevent fraud, and combat financial crime across casino and sportsbook services. These measures strengthen account protection and meet regulatory requirements.

  • Fair play maintained through consistent checks
  • User safety protected by robust security measures
  • Transparency in risk assessment and decisions
  • Compliance with UK regulatory requirements and reporting obligations

ID verification and document submission requirements

Every new account holder must complete identity verification before gambling and withdrawals are allowed. Document submission may be requested to confirm personal data and payment ownership.

  • Government issued photo identification
  • Proof of residential address
  • Confirmation of ownership of the chosen payment method

AML security measures and transaction monitoring

Controls are implemented to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and illegal activity across the platform. Measures are aligned to UK law for casino activity and to the Gambling Commission's guidance for other products.

  • Continuous monitoring of deposits, withdrawals, and betting activity to detect suspicious activity
  • Automated detection rules and alerts calibrated to current risk
  • Enhanced due diligence and source of funds or source of wealth checks for higher risk events or customers
  • Reviews of large or unusual transfers and patterns outside expected behaviour
  • Risk scoring applied to accounts and events to guide proportionate controls
  • Sanctions screening and politically exposed person checks against reliable lists
  • Statutory reporting obligations fulfilled, including submitting Suspicious Activity Reports to the UK National Crime Agency where required

Prohibited activities that undermine compliance

To support KYC and AML controls, certain behaviours are not permitted. Breaches may result in enforcement action.

  • Opening or operating more than one account per person
  • Providing forged, altered, or stolen documents
  • Attempting to launder criminal proceeds or conceal source of funds
  • Manipulating systems or exploiting vulnerabilities
  • Sharing, selling, or otherwise transferring account access
  • Using payment instruments registered to a third party
  • Misrepresenting identity or impersonating another individual

Consequences for non compliance with KYC or AML

Breaches of this policy or failure to complete required checks can trigger proportionate action under UK rules. Measures may apply without notice where immediate risk exists.

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 and cooperation

Users must provide accurate and up to date personal data and complete identity check promptly. Requests for additional document submission must be answered in the stated timeframe. Only payment methods owned and controlled by the account holder may be used. Any suspicious activity observed on an account should be reported to support immediately. Cooperation in ongoing monitoring, including periodic reviews where relevant, helps maintain account protection.

Fair play and transparency principles

The platform upholds fair play and transparency to protect users and maintain a safe gambling environment. These principles guide the approach to KYC, AML, and user safety.

  • Adherence to KYC, ID verification, and AML standards set by UK regulators
  • Protection and confidentiality of personal data under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
  • Ongoing monitoring and timely handling of suspicious activity
  • Prevention of manipulation, collusion, and other unfair behaviour
  • User support focused on safety, account protection, and responsible gaming
  • Shared responsibility between the operator and each account holder
  • Equal conditions and consistent application of rules to all users
