Winzter Casino KYC Policy

Winzter Casino KYC Policy

Introduction

Winzter Casino is committed to maintaining the highest standards of compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is a fundamental requirement for all players and is conducted in accordance with international regulatory standards and the requirements of the Anjouan Gaming Commission (Licence Number: 3-102-904216).

This policy outlines the identity verification procedures that Winzter Casino implements to protect our platform, our players, and the integrity of the gaming industry. All players must complete KYC verification before they can withdraw funds or access certain account features.

Purpose of KYC Verification

The primary purposes of our KYC policy are:

  • To confirm the identity of all account holders and prevent fraudulent account creation
  • To comply with international anti-money laundering regulations and legal requirements
  • To protect against identity theft, account takeovers, and financial crime
  • To prevent underage gambling and ensure all players are at least 18 years of age
  • To identify and report suspicious activity to relevant authorities
  • To ensure compliance with sanctions lists and politically exposed persons (PEPs) screening

1. Proof of Identity

You must submit one of the following valid identity documents:

  • Passport (colour copy, front and back)
