WG casino KYC & AML Policy

WG casino sets out this KYC and Anti-Money Laundering policy to explain the identity check, ID verification, and security measures required in the United Kingdom. The policy addresses regulatory requirements designed to deter money laundering and terrorism financing, protect user safety, and uphold fair play. It aligns with the Gambling Commission’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice and applicable UK legislation.

Purpose of KYC & AML

The platform applies KYC/AML controls to verify identity, prevent fraud, and combat financial crime in the United Kingdom. These checks also support account protection, transparency, and responsible gaming.

  • Fair play supported by proportionate security measures
  • User safety through identity check and transaction monitoring
  • Transparency in how personal data is used for compliance
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements set by UK authorities

KYC Requirements

Every new user must complete identity verification before accessing gambling services. Document submission may be required to confirm the identity check and age.

  • Government-issued photo identification
  • Proof of residential address
  • Confirmation of ownership of the chosen payment method

AML Measures

The platform implements AML security measures to detect and prevent money laundering and illegal activity. Controls are risk-based and include ongoing transaction monitoring and reviews of suspicious activity.

  • Continuous monitoring of transactions and account behaviour for suspicious activity
  • Automated detection rules and alerts based on risk indicators
  • Enhanced due diligence for high-risk events, including source of funds checks
  • Review and verification of large or unusual transfers
  • Risk scoring for customers and activities, with periodic reassessment
  • Sanctions, adverse media, and PEP screening at onboarding and on a rolling basis
  • Reporting obligations, including suspicious activity reports to the UKFIU (NCA) and maintenance of audit records

Prohibited Activities

Certain behaviours are prohibited to maintain a secure environment and support KYC and AML controls. Breaches may lead to restrictions or closure of access to services.

  • Operating multiple accounts or impersonating another person
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents

  • Manipulating systems, games, or transaction processes
  • Sharing, selling, or otherwise transferring account access

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Failure to meet these obligations may lead to enforcement action in line with legal and licence conditions. Measures are proportionate to risk and may be applied without prior notice where required by law.

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

Users must ensure that all personal data supplied during registration and subsequent updates is accurate and complete. The account holder must complete ID verification promptly and respond to any requests for additional document submission within the stated timeframes. Only payment methods owned and controlled by the account holder may be used. Any change to name, address, or payment details should be reported and updated promptly. Suspicious activity must be reported without delay to aid account protection and responsible gaming.
