Overview of KYC, ID verification, and AML in Nigeria

1win applies KYC and AML controls to perform identity check, confirm ID verification, and deter financial crime. The approach reduces fraud and safeguards personal data.

• Fair play
• User safety
• Transparency
• Regulatory compliance

Every new user must complete identity verification before access to certain services such as withdrawals. Document submission may be requested during registration or later based on risk assessment.

• Government-issued photo ID
• Proof of address
• Confirmation that the payment method belongs to the account holder
• Additional checks where needed, for example a selfie or source of funds confirmation in line with law

The platform implements targeted security measures to prevent money laundering and illegal activity. Controls include ongoing transaction monitoring and reviews grounded in risk.

• Monitoring of transactions and gameplay patterns for suspicious activity
• Automated detection rules and alerts set to risk thresholds
• Enhanced due diligence for high-risk profiles, events, or jurisdictions
• Reviews of large, unusual, or rapid transfers
• Risk scoring, periodic reassessment, and account reviews
• Sanctions and PEP screening against United Nations and Nigeria lists at onboarding and at intervals
• Timely reports to the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit and relevant gaming regulators where required by law, plus retention of records as prescribed

To support ID verification and AML objectives, certain conduct is not allowed. These restrictions protect transparency, personal data, and account protection.

• Operating more than one account or using another person’s profile
• Submitting forged or stolen documents
• Any attempt to launder proceeds or conceal the source of funds
• Manipulating systems, odds, games, or exploitative behaviour
• Sharing, selling, or transferring account access
• Using third-party payment instruments or anonymous wallets
• Misrepresenting identity or acting on behalf of another person

Violations of KYC or AML rules trigger enforcement based on Nigerian law and platform policies. Actions focus on user safety and the integrity of the platform.

Consequences may include 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.

Each account holder must provide accurate and up-to-date personal data, and complete verification promptly when requested. Users must respond to requests for additional document submission or explanations within the timelines communicated. Only payment methods owned by the customer may be used for deposits and withdrawals. Any suspicious activity noticed on an account should be reported without delay to customer support. Following reasonable security measures, such as keeping login credentials confidential, supports account protection.
