Introduction to ID verification and AML in the United Kingdom
Raptorwins applies Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering controls to meet United Kingdom regulatory requirements and to safeguard the platform and its users.
These measures include ID verification, identity checks and ongoing oversight to deter money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crime.
Personal data is handled lawfully and proportionately to support transparency and mandatory reporting obligations under UK law, including the Gambling Commission framework.
Purpose and outcomes of KYC and AML
KYC and AML procedures verify identity, prevent fraud and protect funds. The approach promotes user safety and fair play while meeting statutory duties.
- Transparent account setup and use
- Fair play and equal treatment
- User safety through security measures and account protection
- Compliance with UK regulatory requirements
- Responsible gaming supported by risk controls
Identity checks and document submission requirements
Every new account holder must complete identity verification before engaging in gambling activity or requesting withdrawals. Additional checks may be requested at any time in line with risk assessment.
- Government issued photo identification
- Proof of residential address dated within a recent period
- Confirmation of ownership of the chosen payment method
AML security measures and transaction monitoring
Controls designed to detect and disrupt money laundering and other illegal activity are in place and are aligned to the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and the Gambling Commission Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice. Raptorwins maintains proportionate security measures, ongoing monitoring and robust record keeping.
- Continuous monitoring of deposits, withdrawals and gameplay for suspicious activity
- Automated detection rules and analytics to flag atypical behaviour or patterns
- Enhanced due diligence for high risk situations, including source of funds or wealth checks
- Review and approval procedures for large or unusual transfers prior to processing when required
- Risk scoring of accounts and events to guide oversight and intervention
- Screening against UK and international sanctions lists and identification of politically exposed persons
- Timely reporting to the National Crime Agency and other competent authorities where required by law
Activities forbidden to support KYC and AML
Certain actions are not permitted because they undermine identity checks and AML controls. Breaches may result in restrictions without notice.
- Opening or operating multiple accounts for the same individual
- Using forged, altered or stolen documents during verification
- Any attempt to launder criminal proceeds or disguise ownership of funds
- Manipulating systems, tools or games to distort outcomes or audit trails
- Sharing, selling or otherwise transferring account access
- Funding activity through third party or anonymous payment instruments
- False statements or misrepresentation of identity or source of funds
Consequences for non compliance
Failure to meet KYC or AML requests and any attempt to circumvent controls will lead to enforcement in line with legal and licence obligations. Actions are proportionate to the risk and evidence available.
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 account protection and compliance
Users must provide accurate and up to date personal data and complete verification promptly when requested. All additional document submission must be supplied within stated timeframes and must be genuine and legible. Only payment methods owned and controlled by the account holder may be used. Users should maintain secure credentials, use appropriate security measures and report any suspicious activity to support responsible gaming and platform safety. Cooperation may be required on source of funds enquiries where risk indicators are present.
