Kyc

At Spinko, we are committed to providing a secure and responsible gaming environment for all our players. Verifying your identity is a fundamental part of this commitment. It helps us prevent fraud, combat money laundering, and ensure that our services are not used for illicit activities. Our verification processes protect both you and Spinko, maintaining the integrity of our platform and complying with legal and regulatory obligations.

These measures are in place to confirm that you are who you claim to be, that you are of legal gambling age, and that the funds you use are legitimate. This contributes to a safer and more transparent online gambling ecosystem for everyone.

KYC, or "Know Your Customer," refers to the mandatory process of identifying and verifying the identity of our customers. This is a standard practice across regulated financial services and online gaming industries. It involves collecting and reviewing specific documentation from you. The primary goal of KYC is to assess and monitor customer risk, prevent identity theft, financial fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing. For Spinko, it means we understand who our players are, ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations set by our licensing authority.

Identity verification may be required at several stages of your interaction with Spinko. Typically, you will be asked to complete verification:

• Upon registration of your account.
• Before you make your first withdrawal, or when withdrawals exceed a certain cumulative threshold.
• If there are changes to your personal information or payment methods.
• When your activity on Spinko triggers our internal risk assessment protocols.
• Periodically, as part of our ongoing due diligence, even if you have been verified previously.
• If requested by our licensing authority or other regulatory bodies.

We reserve the right to request verification at any time we deem necessary to comply with our legal obligations.

To complete our KYC procedures, we may request various documents. These documents help us confirm your identity, address, and the legitimacy of your payment methods. All documents must be valid, legible, and current. We will provide clear instructions on how to submit these documents securely when requested.

To confirm your identity, you will typically need to provide one of the following official, government-issued identification documents:

• A clear, colour copy of your valid passport.
• A clear, colour copy of your valid national identity card (both front and back).
• A clear, colour copy of your valid driving licence (both front and back).

The document must clearly show your full name, date of birth, a photograph, the document's expiry date, and your signature. It must not be expired.

To verify your residential address, we require a document that clearly shows your full name and current address. This document must be dated within the last three months. Acceptable documents include:

• A utility bill (e.g., electricity, water, gas, landline telephone, or internet bill). Mobile phone bills are generally not accepted.
• A bank statement or credit card statement.
• A government-issued letter or tax statement.

The document must be issued by an independent third party and clearly display the issuing company's logo or name, your full name, your full residential address, and the date of issue.

Depending on the payment methods you use to deposit or withdraw funds at Spinko, we may require additional verification. This is to ensure that you are the legitimate owner of the payment accounts used. Examples include:

• Credit/Debit Cards: A clear copy of the front and back of the card. For security, you may be asked to obscure the middle eight digits of the card number on the front and the CVV/CVC code on the back. Your name, the first six and last four digits of the card number, and the expiry date must be visible.
• E-Wallets (e.g., Skrill, Neteller, PayPal): A screenshot of your e-wallet account profile page clearly showing your name and email address associated with the account.
• Bank Transfers: A copy of a bank statement or a screenshot of your online banking portal showing your name, account number, and bank logo.

This verification step helps prevent unauthorised use of your financial instruments.

In certain circumstances, particularly for larger transactions or if your activity triggers specific risk indicators, Spinko may be required to conduct Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD). This includes requesting information and documentation regarding your Source of Funds (SOF) or Source of Wealth (SOW). This is a regulatory requirement to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Documents requested for SOF/SOW may include:

• Bank statements showing the origin of funds.
• Payslips or employment contracts.
• Proof of inheritance or gift.
• Sale of property documentation.
• Company accounts or business documentation.

We understand that these requests are highly personal, and we handle all such information with the utmost confidentiality and security, strictly adhering to data protection laws.

Once you submit your documents, our dedicated verification team will review them. We aim to process all verification requests as quickly as possible. Typically, the initial review process takes between 24 and 72 hours, depending on the volume of requests and the clarity of the documents provided. If the documents are unclear or additional information is required, this may extend the processing time. We will communicate with you via email or through your Spinko account if further action is needed. You can track the status of your verification within your account profile.

Spinko takes the security and privacy of your personal documents and information very seriously. All documents submitted are stored securely on encrypted servers, accessible only by authorised personnel. We comply with strict data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Your information will only be used for verification purposes and will not be shared with third parties unless required by law or our regulatory obligations. For more details on how we protect your data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Spinko operates under a strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policy. Our KYC and verification procedures are integral to our AML framework. We are legally obligated to report suspicious transactions to the relevant authorities. By conducting thorough identity verification, we play our part in preventing the financial system from being used for illegal activities. Your cooperation in this process is crucial for us to meet these regulatory responsibilities.

Gambling is strictly prohibited for individuals under the legal age. Spinko is committed to preventing underage gambling. Our age verification checks are a critical component of our responsible gaming policy. By verifying your date of birth through official identification documents, we ensure that only individuals aged 18 or over (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) can access and use our services. Any accounts found to belong to minors will be immediately closed, and any winnings forfeited.

If there are delays in your verification, or if your submission is unsuccessful, it is usually due to one of the following reasons:

• Documents are unclear, expired, or incomplete.
• The names or addresses on the documents do not match the information registered on your Spinko account.
• Additional information or alternative documents are required.

We will notify you of any issues and guide you on the steps needed to resolve them. It is important to respond promptly to any requests for further information to avoid interruptions to your account access or withdrawal processing. Failure to provide requested documents or satisfactory verification may result in account suspension or closure.

If you have any questions about the verification process, need assistance with submitting your documents, or encounter any issues, our customer support team is here to help. You can contact us via live chat, email, or telephone. Our team is trained to provide clear guidance and support to ensure your verification process at Spinko is as smooth as possible.
