❓ Verification FAQ
Why do casinos require verification before withdrawal?
Casinos require KYC (Know Your Customer) verification to comply with anti-money laundering laws, prevent underage gambling, verify identity, and ensure withdrawals go to the rightful owner. It's a legal requirement for licensed casinos. More on casino safety →
What documents are needed for casino verification?
Typically three documents: 1) Government ID (passport, driver's license), 2) Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement dated within 3 months), 3) Payment method proof (photo of card, e-wallet screenshot). Some casinos request all three. See our documents guide above.
How long does casino verification take?
Standard verification takes 24-72 hours. Crypto casinos like Bitstarz and VoltageBet often verify within 1-6 hours. If documents are clear and submitted correctly, many casinos verify within 24 hours. Weekends may cause delays. Pending time guide →
Can I withdraw without verification?
Licensed casinos require verification before first withdrawal. Some crypto casinos offer 'no KYC' withdrawals but these are higher risk and may have lower limits. Always verify before depositing to avoid withdrawal delays. See No KYC casinos guide for alternatives.
Why was my verification rejected?
Common reasons: blurry photos, expired ID, address mismatch, edited documents, or name mismatch. Resubmit clear, unedited documents matching your casino account exactly. Contact support for specific reasons. See our rejection reasons table above.
Is my personal information safe during verification?
Licensed casinos use SSL encryption and secure servers. They comply with data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA). Never email documents — use casino's secure upload system. Read privacy policy before submitting. Our privacy policy →
What is the difference between KYC and AML?
KYC (Know Your Customer) is identity verification. AML (Anti-Money Laundering) includes KYC plus transaction monitoring, source of wealth checks, and reporting suspicious activity. Both protect casinos from illegal funds. Safety guide →
