What do casino's ask for when they request from you these?
KYC level 2
KYC level 3

Thanks in advance

You forget about the first phase of the KYC, which is the primary KYC that requires the gambler to fill out their name and mobile number when necessary. 
 
For level 2, they will request means of identification such as a driver's license, international passport, national identification card, or any source of identification that could be used; there is always not much documentation needed for level 2, depending on the casino. 
 
Level 3, the casino will ask for source of income and residential address when necessary and all the private information that you could ever think of, but this varies depending on the casino.

Totally correct, the different levels in identification, is just a means for the casino to get to know you as a customer. So they request as you play more and win more, you complete these verification steps so you can access all features of the casino and don't get restricted during any withdrawal process. Each of these kyc levels has different periods of completion but to be on the safer side, it would be better to completely fill them or go through them as early as possible so it doesn't become an issue later on.. just to be clear, all casino might not have the same requirements for each kyc levels so do proper research on what is required before registering on any casino so you know which documents you have or don't have.

KYC level 2: You’ll typically need to provide proof of identity and address ((such as a utility bill or bank statement) as mentioned by @Orpichukwu. This step ensures that the information you provided during registration matches official documents.

KYC Level 3: This is a more advanced verification level, often required for higher transaction limits. In addition to the documents needed for Level 2, this could include payslips, bank statements showing deposits, or other financial documents. Some casinos might also request a video verification at this stage to further confirm your identity.

Different sites will have different KYC level and requirement.

In some sites they have KYC level 0, although in other sites they treat it as level 1, they will ask your name, birth date, state and phone number.

In some sites they have 4 KYC level, they will ask all of your source of income and source of your wealth, this make you need to show your salary slip, sale of investment, how much you invest, how much you earn from rent, your real estates etc.

Probably there would be KYC level 5 that will ask picture of your dick, video when you masturbation, etc who knows.

it depend

rollbit ask interview then u need to show ur crypto wallet and lot of personnal informations...
cloudbet ask me selfie with newspaper of the day in front of the stree i live (needed to see the name of the street )
some ask source of funds

everything can be asked tbh

This is kinda funny, if anyone ask me to provide newspaper of the day I can't because I don't do newspaper, this is a new era where technology have taken over, everything about latest news can be find online, why newspaper in 2024?

Some online casinos are taking things too far with online verifications, there is nothing they can't ask you to do since they are the ones trying to pay you after you've won.

What level of verification was this? Has to be 4th tier or more for it to be considered a reasonable request from the casino and needed to facilitate a very large withdrawal. Did you pass the KYC after the process?

It may be to show the date the picture was taken, to ensure the documents submitted were not fake. Some will ask you write specific words on a piece of paper and hold that while taking a selfie.

i dont know to be honest it was the first kyc they asked me after winning 100 euros hahha

It may be to show the date the picture was taken, to ensure the documents submitted were not fake. Some will ask you write specific words on a piece of paper and hold that while taking a selfie.

because yes its sooooo f..king easy to take selfie holding documents and trying to catch the name of ur street hahahah

You are one heck of a lazy dude op. You could have easily found the answers to almost all of your recent queries by simply doing some research through this forum, google etc instead of depending on other posters.

Anyway, focus on completing KYC Level 1 first as some of the posters above mentioned before thinking about the higher levels.

Actually it's already indicated into your exchange platform what are the level and of course the perks and requirements. Base on my experience for the level 1 just most likely your email and phone number just for basic recovery and next for the Level 2 that's required an ID depends on the valid listed ID on their platform including your picture. Haven't do the level 3 because I'm just a small casual trader an investor but most likely this is a legal papers such as billings that require your Address and transactions to them as verified user.

Most of the casino doesn't request for it till your fund goes above your limits, let say if level 1 kyc is just to pass mail verification and contacts, then for 2 kyc they will ask for your original names which will be thesame on your means of identification. Then you will have to submit any of the required documents such as international passport, Drivers license, Voters ID, and NIN.

For level 3 kyc; as you know they needs to prove your source of income so which requires you to submit information about the business you do and other necessary documentation that relates to the business which you are generating money from. For that aspect if you don't have any business yet and are working under government there is also an option where you would tick it then upload the necessary documents to pass your kyc. I believe much more has been answered on this aspect.

This question is one that doesn't have a definite answer or response, and this is because different casinos have different policies as regards to their kyc system, there are some casinos that don't even have levels, they simply ask for the document they require to verify your account, and also state other criterias to meet, and ones you provide the requested document and meet the other criterias, you are verified in that casino for live.

But for other casinos that have different levels of kyc verification just like stake, the document the casinos respectively ask for differs for different levels of kyc verification differs, and currently, I am level 2 verified on stake, what I submited was my drivers license, I don't know what they ask for level 3 verification but some in previous times have mentioned it's proof of address or proof of fund or something very related to that...not sure really.

This is correct. I’m not sure what OP looking at but this topic was already answered by this post precisely since it’s the general KYC level on most casino that I play.

I think they just add a video interview on level 3 KYC which you didn’t mention since all those details needed to be submit via online call. But some casino out this on level 4 which they literally interviewed players for all the transactions he made in the casino including the source.

I think it's not the same for all casinos, but you were given some tips on what’s needed for different levels of verification. Personally, I haven’t been required to submit documents related to my finances, like a bank statement or proof of income, but if that becomes necessary, I think it means you’re dealing with significant amounts of money going in and out of the casino. In my experience, I’ve only been required to submit basic identification, and I was able to pass it.

I'm just curious, though, why casinos would require a bank statement. Isn't it based on their prerogative, or is it still in line with what regulators require them to implement? I just find sending a bank statement to a casino quite risky, considering the industry has a lot of money launderers.

As people furnish you with various advice as requested, I advise you to contact your casino or read their ToS for the best guide as it varies among casinos. However, mostly, the first verification is your ID verification, the second is your address verification and the third is your video verification. Just make them boldly captured to avoid rejection, while the casino would tell you what you need to hold in your hands for the video verification if needed.

Casino's may decide to request or ask whatever question in any level of KYC they have; some casino's may just have one KYC level where they demand all they need to know there. It is not a fixed arrangement. Some casino's may ask you to provide some kind of identification document in Level 2. Some casino's may ask you to provide a picture of you holding up your identification, etc. It just depends on the casino. Just know that as the KYC level increases, it will require information more sensitive than what you provided in the previous KYC level.

You are right, man, he needs to contact the casino or read the ToS carefully because if he just registered on the casino, he might not really need to be on the level 3 KYC because he only has the amount of funds that can be accommodated on level 2 KYC. Like the casinos that am using, it's only the level 2 KCYs that I have completed. There's no casino that I have completed the level 3 but am using the casino without any complain.

Most casinos will settle for level 1 KYC (basic level) and won't ask you to complete further KYC. This often involves submitting a government-issued ID and proof of address. Also, it depends on the wagering as if someone needs to wager with high amounts they may need to undergo further levels of KYC and again as you mentioned it varies from site to site. Some may be flexible initially and may tighten your screws as you become more active on the site.

Another case when the casino may enforce their advanced levels of KYC requirements is if your activity raises red flags or the casino suspects any element of fraudulent activity from your account. However, these are clearly mentioned in the terms and conditions of the casinos which KYC requirements are needed at which time, so better to read the TOS for the casino's site.

Haven't done any KYC in casinos, but I have seen KYC up to lvl 5, but forgot which casino.

Comment #2 I think this is right where it is required by casinos with certain level stages, then you have to show documents as a requirement.

Level 5? That’s crazy!

I wonder what they’ll start requesting from users when they get to that level - perhaps, they’ll start requesting them to submit future documents that is documents that they hoped to acquire in the future.

But to be honest, level 3 is more than enough unless they decide to split it into more levels and just make it look bulkier than normal.

Yeah I saw that level in the casino, but forgot to show it.

If you reach level 5 is it possible for them to ask for a video call? I don't think it's possible but I don't know exactly.

I know the highest level is level 4 at Stake.com.

#1 Basic information
#2 Identity document
#3 Address to be provided
#4 Source of funds.

I have seen were a user was asked to engaged in a video call with the representative of the gambling site but it wasn’t actually classified as level 5 or something else.

The case was about one user whom the casino suspected to have used a stolen documents or had gotten the account through an illegal means (meaning he wasn’t the original owner of the account) and when asked to redo his kyc verification he did but with a different document and when he insisted that those were his documents the casino had to schedule a video call with him so that they could ask some basic questions about the account and his activities there but in the end he failed [according to them, he was seen asking someone for the answer and couldn’t provide them himself].

If this falls under level 5 then its shouldn’t be an issue though, just that it would be very rare before they (the casino) will ask for it.

Kyc level 1 means normal information, Name, email, phone number, address or security code or number.
Kyc level 2 means, proof of address, national identity cards, passport, driving licence and somehow electric/gas Wasa bill documentary,or Bank statements
Kyc level 3, means advanced verification, Face verification, video calls interview or etc.

What you are asking for here might differ from a casino to another, each casino is using different ways to verify users, which means the KYC level are going to have a different meaning or requirements.
Basically, the first level of KYC is always the ID verification of any person beside asking about a selfie to confirm your identity with you ID card, mainly this process are verified by AI systems nowadays. It takes only few seconds to process it, if the casino is using quality control softwares.
The second level of KYC, from what I have seen and processed with casino registration and verification, they will ask for your proof of address, which should be the same as your first registered address and ID.
The third or the rest KYC, which are demanded or asked for when the player is suspected of doing something illegal or cheating, they require the funds source, or video call with few questions about your activity inside your account.

As I have mentioned in top, each casino will have a whole different process, but basically they all ask about basic things in first levels then go to detailed informations.

Everything you asked depends on the casino in question; primarily, they'll always request for your phone number, your name, a valid email with which to link your local bank details later on...

After surfing around and playing a few games, they'll likely not bother you as that doesn't really require the second level, but when a win comes and you wanna place withdrawals, they'll definitely ask for your IDs, your driver's license, proof of identification etc..
Finally, you're given 80 out of 100% access althrough until when you decide to run exclusive packages or a huge jackpot/win drops in your wallet, there and then, photos, prove of photos and videos, proof of resident etc will set in.

Aside from the mentioned above, it depends on the casino itself as you need ro check their terms regarding AML/KYC policy. Under this section, you will know their kyc requirements per level. It means, you need to inquire this aspect on the site itself as it may vary a lil bit from one casino to another.

But as a player, you need to prepare yourself that as you increase the level of kyc verification, it may entail providing some of your personal details. So ask yourself, to what extent do you want to disclose your details to the site? Better choose the site where you will share your details, as much as possible, to the site that you really trust and you regularly visit.

Level 2 is ID and level 3 is residency permit, proof of residence address and proof of income or inheritance etc as far as I'm aware.

But also keep in mind that some casinos might have different rules and ask for things that are quire arbitrary to acquire. You should look for past cases where users where asked to give more exact identification and KYC documentations to see what they were asked about. If you live in a country where you can't get these documents maybe best to stay away from such platforms in my opinion. Casinos better be open about what documents they might ask from the start, even if they just ask for these documents on occasion.

It is assumed that you as a gambler is requesting for a casino account upgrading probably you want to start staking higher than the level you are and also enabling you to maximize your withdrawal or probably unlimited withdrawal limits.

Each casinos has their requirements for account upgrading to different levels so, it all depends on the casinos but it is sure that they would always request for higher personal documents of the account owner to revalidate the your previous provided informations in request of the upgrades and certainly, the more level you seek to unlock is the more higher documents you maybe asked to provide. These are usually government issues IDs and proof of source of incomes or your tax bills.
It confirms you the qualifications of the request account level you appeals for.

that's right, maybe not all casinos are the same in terms of kyc because there are definitely different stages whether it's the order or others. But what is clear is that when a casino asks for kyc then we must fulfill it like email, telephone number, that's something that we definitely have to fill in or also with a bank account and bank username to ensure the deposit and withdrawal process later. besides that kyc must be fulfilled because it is indeed something that needs to be considered so that there are no problems when placing bets later.
usually I fill in kyc at the beginning and of course when making a withdrawal there are things that must be fulfilled again such as further confirmation that must be done by the player in order to be able to take home the winnings that have been obtained such as ID or others and sometimes video interaction or video recording of our facial recognition is needed to match our own ID. That's sometimes annoying but it must still be fulfilled so that everything goes well.

The formulas are almost always generally the same. Level 1 asks for basic info, level 2 asks for detailed info, and level 3 (and further, if any) asks for specific details about your financial situation. A financial statement to be exact. Varies from casino to casino but at the very top is usually your financial statement. If it was local they might even be more strict by crosschecking everything through the banks associated to your name or even your workplace lol.

It depends. There is no single standard set of information that casinos require from their customers whenever KYC is implemented.


If my memory serves me right, address is normally asked in level 2 KYC. Level 3 KYC is mostly about your money-- the source of it, your capacity to legally produce a certain amount, and so on. Level 2 is more or less proving that the identity you are claiming is truly yours. I think there even are KYCs that include your image in the first level.

Again, KYC varies from one platform to another.

Wow, this is the first time I have seen such requirements. It humiliates me; even winning a hundred bucks is not worth identifying yourself. If a casino stoops to delaying payments of such amounts, it may be worth changing such a casino and not exposing yourself to the risk of revealing your data.

Looks like a stake KYC process  ::) and am guessing level 1 was left out because this is too basic and anybody can pass this stage.

KYC level 2 should be a breeze too as it's usually asking for some form of "legal" user identification ..

And I believe the menace on these has to be KYC level 3 asking for sources of income and the alike..but usually submitting a bank statement works just not sure if we have wallets that generate statements that can help passing this process.

Level 2 are a lot less complicated that Level 3. It is easier for casinos to verify the legitimacy of ID documents for level 2, than having to validate the authenticity of documents that are needed for Level 3.

You have to remember that these source of income documents are provided in different languages and that they need specialists third party companies that are efficient in those languages to verify these documents, so it will take a lot longer to authenticate these documents.

Good luck, if you source documents are not in English!  :P

Different casinos have different modes of identification but basically they all want to make sure that they get to know you as their customer. We just have to accept these KYC verifications as parts of the processes and the phases of registrations of online gambling. Many gamblers don't like the idea of submitting their KYC to whom they're not seeing but it has become a necessity. I don't think that the casinos cares for this KYC drills from gamblers but they're also complying to government regulations.

Most of the online gambling sites that I used require a passport for KYC level 2 identification. Other gambling sites do accept driver's licenses or any other document that would prove your name address and date of birth. I think those are the most important details that should be in your identification so that you can pass it.

I understand that some government IDs don't have those details so you should look for an ID that have all those details on one card so that you could pass it. For example, we have here in our country a government healthcare ID that lacks all those details except the name only. I don't think they will accept that.

At first sight or thought, indeed that we can say it's ridiculous or crazy but like you said it is also possible that they only make it look more bulkier, though for what reasons? I am sure that wasn't to impress the public because it is intimidating seeing it.

Interested players shouldn't rattle though and they must learn how to read the information because I think the first 3 levels are only easy to achieve while the 4th and 5th levels are likely be the equivalent of the usual level 2 and 3 that we can see on other casinos. On level 1 KYC, I think we are only being asked for an email and even our phone number, while on level 2 it is when we are ask by an ID and then a selfie holding it.

For the final level, they can ask us a billing document, a bank account statement, and documents of residency. Sometimes passports and driver's license are on this level too.

At this point, I think I realized the importance of having an extended levels of KYC because a company can be able to split the requirements to make it look more manageable for some customers who are having a hard time of providing it. They can't only enjoy the perks if ever a casino have it because they usually start on medium to a higher level of KYC.

There's not that much difference from kycs of casinos and exchanges but of course they have different ways of verifying or satisfying themselves when you're not able to satisfy them with your requirements.

So even if you have completed all of those requirements that were mentioned by our other co-forumers.

You'll still be subject to any other additional compliance unless you're a big hit to them and they will take care of you.

There’s a big difference between the kyc of casinos and that of exchanges - I have completed kyc for several of my exchange accounts and in all of them I’ve only used my BVN number without having to go through any lengthy process and it was accepted instantly - but for the case of casino you’ll have to submit several documents at different levels just to be on the safer side.

And it’s also very rare for exchange to call a customer back to come and redo or submit an extra document just so they can very something - they do so only in extreme cases unlike casinos that do it whenever a player wins any thing big.

As far as I know and in most general terms I have seen KYC for casinos only at Level 1, rarely going through the process for KYC levels 2 and 3, however usually the next level of KYC depends on your gambling activity or on the user's demand side.

But I have read the requirements for KYC level 2 & 3 that are requested.
For example:

The point is: I haven't reached KYC level 2&3 yet, maybe one day when I reach it I will give it to you and as far as I know, different casinos have different KYC requirements, I mean additional requirements besides passports.

You've got a different experience than mine so, we can conclude that it varies but that's what I think about them if I'd base it on my experience.

I've read people that have experienced that in some local exchange. It happens when someone has deposited a huge amount or trying to withdraw big amounts for which is the same as the casinos.

To clarify further: Additional levels in KYC procedures may include Level 4, which requires the submission of more detailed financial source documents, such as bank statements and employment certificates. Level 5, which focuses on advanced review of funds coming from international sources, including review by international financial authorities.

There is also the corporate level in the case of legal entities, where the identity of the ultimate beneficiaries and the company’s licenses are verified.

These additional levels aim to enhance security and provide the highest level of transparency and legal compliance.
