I want to take a moment to explain why KYC (identity verification) is required. Because we are based in the United States, we are legally obligated to collect verification under federal anti money laundering (AML) laws.
All ID information is securely encrypted, and player data is archived after 30 days. We do not share or sell your information, and nothing is ever sent outside of the United States. The data is collected only to comply with U.S. AML regulations.
I understand that KYC can raise concerns, and I want to be fully transparent that your information is safe and handled responsibly. Without these checks, we would not be allowed to operate legally in the United States.
That's not the issue here. Most crypto gamblers in this forum hate any form of KYC and prefer submitting zero to minimal KYC which is why you are observing so many complaints including mine.
I advise reducing the KYC requirements to something more reasonable if you wish to attract more gamblers from this forum.
I believe since they are in the US, they are acting in accordance to the law of the land so whatever documents they requested for is likely what the US government must have included or given to them as requirements to demand from their prospective customers who wants to patronise their services. So you won't blame them for all these documents they are demanding, they are only trying to play safe with the government.
This is correct. Because we are based in the U.S., we are legally required to collect KYC information. If we didn’t, we could face serious penalties or even prosecution for failing to comply with anti–money laundering laws.
Just to clarify, we do not submit your ID to anyone. It’s only ever accessed if we were to be audited. Otherwise, your ID stays securely encrypted in our database and is moved to cold storage after 30 days.
We only request two things: a picture of your ID and a selfie. That’s it. We don’t collect, share, or sell any additional information.
I wish there were a way around the KYC process, but we wouldn’t be able to operate legally without it. Hopefully this helps clear things up! It’s a standard requirement across all U.S.-based sweepstakes platforms.
