Independent-site disclosure: MelbetAgents.net is an independent informational website. We are not Melbet, Pelican Entertainment B.V., a KYC provider, bank or regulator. We cannot approve documents, access accounts, remove verification requirements or release withdrawals.
Affiliate disclosure: This website may have commercial relationships with third parties. Those relationships do not affect our assessment of verification requirements, document-security risks or account problems.
Important India legal notice: India’s Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 and Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Rules, 2026 created a national framework prohibiting online money games and addressing their promotion and financial facilitation. The Rules came into force on May 1, 2026. Completing identity verification with an offshore gambling operator does not make its real-money services authorised in India.
Privacy warning: Identity verification can involve highly sensitive information. Never send a password, OTP, banking PIN, complete card credentials or identity document to an unverified person claiming to be support.
Quick Answer: What Is Melbet KYC?
KYC means Know Your Customer.
It is an identity-verification process that an operator may use to establish who controls an account, confirm previously supplied information, investigate suspicious activity or check ownership of a payment method.
Melbet’s current published terms reserve the right to request documents or information needed to verify a customer’s identity or confirm personal details.
Depending on the circumstances, verification can potentially involve:
- government-issued identification;
- confirmation of personal details;
- payment-method evidence;
- photographs;
- video material;
- a video conference;
- additional documents relevant to an account or withdrawal review.
That does not mean every Indian account will receive exactly the same document request.
The most important rule is:
Follow the verification request actually attached to your account rather than an old checklist published by an affiliate website.
Melbet KYC at a Glance
| Question | Safer 2026 answer |
|---|---|
| Is KYC possible on Melbet? | Yes. Its published terms allow identity and payment verification. |
| Is PAN always mandatory? | We have not verified that PAN is universally mandatory for every Indian account. |
| Is Aadhaar always mandatory? | We have not verified that every account must provide Aadhaar. |
| Is a selfie always required? | Not necessarily. Photographic or video verification may be requested depending on the review. |
| Can payment ownership be checked? | Yes. Current terms allow verification of payment instruments. |
| Does KYC guarantee a withdrawal? | No. It satisfies only one possible part of an account/payment review. |
| Is verification always completed in 30 minutes? | No. Do not rely on that claim. |
| Can verification involve video? | Current published terms say video material or a video conference may be requested. |
| Should documents be sent through Telegram or WhatsApp? | Not unless you have independently established that the destination is an authorised channel. |
| Does completing KYC make gambling legal in India? | No. Identity verification and legal authorisation are separate issues. |
Why Might Melbet Request Verification?
KYC is sometimes described as something every user completes immediately after signup.
The reality can be more complicated.
According to Melbet’s current published terms, verification may be used where the company wants to confirm identity or information previously supplied by the account holder.
Possible situations can include:
- account-security review;
- uncertainty about account ownership;
- withdrawal review;
- payment-method verification;
- information inconsistencies;
- suspected duplicate accounts;
- investigation of unusual account activity.
A user should therefore distinguish:
registration
from:
identity verification
and from:
payment verification.
They are related processes, but they are not necessarily identical.
KYC Is Not Proof That Melbet Is Authorised in India
This distinction is especially important in 2026.
An offshore gambling company may conduct KYC as part of:
- its own security procedures;
- foreign regulatory requirements;
- anti-fraud measures;
- payment-provider requirements;
- internal compliance controls.
That does not mean an Indian regulator has approved the gambling service.
India’s national online-gaming framework changed materially with the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 and the accompanying 2026 Rules.
Therefore:
KYC completed = identity/account requirement satisfied where accepted
not:
KYC completed = gambling activity legally authorised in India
For the current legal context, read:
This page provides general information rather than personal legal advice.
What Documents Can Melbet Ask For?
The previous version of this article presented one universal checklist:
- PAN;
- Aadhaar;
- proof of address;
- selfie.
That was too absolute.
Melbet’s current published terms use broader wording and reserve the right to request documents necessary for identity or personal-data verification.
Its withdrawal terms also refer to documentary evidence such as an officially issued photo ID and evidence validating payment methods.
The exact request can therefore depend on the account.
1. Government-Issued Photo Identification
Depending on the verification request, the operator may ask for an official identity document containing a photograph.
The document type accepted should be determined by the current verification instructions.
Do not assume that an article written months ago provides the complete accepted-document list.
2. Proof of Personal Details
A review can potentially involve information confirming details already associated with the account.
This could concern information such as:
- legal name;
- date of birth;
- address;
- other registered personal information.
Only supply what the verified request actually requires.
3. Payment-Method Evidence
Payment verification is particularly important where a withdrawal or deposit is being reviewed.
Melbet’s published terms state that payment instruments should be registered in the customer’s name and may be subject to additional verification.
Evidence might therefore relate to ownership of:
- a bank account;
- payment card;
- electronic wallet;
- other payment instrument.
Do not automatically send a complete bank statement when a more limited document would satisfy the request.
Follow the actual instructions and protect unrelated financial information where possible.
4. Photograph or Selfie Verification
Melbet’s published terms allow the company to request photographic evidence of the customer holding an identification document.
That means this type of verification is possible.
It does not justify stating:
“Every Indian user must upload a selfie.”
Requirements can depend on the individual review.
5. Video Verification
Current Melbet terms also reserve the right to use:
- submitted video materials;
- a video conference.
Video verification can be substantially more intrusive than uploading a static document.
Before participating, confirm:
- that the request is genuinely associated with your account;
- that the communication channel is legitimate;
- what identification you will be expected to show;
- whether the request is documented in your account or official correspondence.
Never join a random video call initiated through an unknown social-media account.
Is PAN Mandatory for Melbet KYC?
The previous page stated that PAN was the mandatory primary identification document for every Indian user.
We no longer make that claim.
PAN is an important Indian tax identifier, but that fact does not automatically prove that Melbet requires PAN from every Indian account in every verification scenario.
If your current verified account request specifically asks for PAN, follow that request after checking that the upload channel is genuine.
If it does not ask for PAN, do not send sensitive tax information merely because an independent article told you to.
Is Aadhaar Mandatory?
We also no longer state that Aadhaar is universally required.
Aadhaar contains highly sensitive identifying information.
Never assume that an offshore website needs your Aadhaar merely because another user supplied one.
If Aadhaar is specifically requested:
- verify the request;
- verify the upload destination;
- read the current verification/privacy instructions;
- provide only what is actually required;
- keep your own record of the submission.
Do not send Aadhaar through an unverified Telegram, WhatsApp or social-media account.
Should You Send Both PAN and Aadhaar Automatically?
No.
Providing more identity information than requested does not necessarily make verification faster.
It can simply increase the amount of sensitive personal information being processed.
A better principle is:
minimum necessary disclosure through a verified channel.
If the operator asks for one particular document, do not automatically add several more unless the instructions require them.
Verification Timelines: What the Current Terms Actually Say
The previous article promised that many Indian users would be approved within 30 minutes to two hours.
We do not retain that promise.
Melbet’s current published terms contain several different possible review periods depending on the type of verification being conducted.
The terms currently state that:
- submitted identity documents/materials may take up to 72 hours to verify;
- the outcome of a requested video conference may be communicated within up to five business days after the conference;
- submitted video-verification materials may take up to 14 business days.
Separate financial/payment verification can involve different timeframes.
These figures come from Melbet’s published terms and should be understood as contractual maximums or stated review periods—not promises that every case will take exactly that long.
Why Verification Can Take Longer
Possible causes include:
- information mismatch;
- unclear images;
- incomplete submission;
- an additional document request;
- payment-method ownership questions;
- suspected duplicate accounts;
- video verification;
- manual review;
- security investigation;
- financial/payment verification.
Do not assume that a longer review automatically means the documents have failed.
Check the actual status and any communication attached to the account.
KYC Statuses You May Encounter
Interface wording can change, but verification generally falls into several practical states.
Not requested
No additional identity review is currently displayed.
This does not guarantee that verification will never be requested later.
Requested
The account has been asked to provide information or documentation.
Read the request carefully before uploading anything.
Submitted / Under review
Documents have been provided but no final outcome has been communicated.
Avoid repeatedly uploading new versions unless the system requests them.
Additional information required
The initial submission did not satisfy the review or another check is required.
Identify exactly what is missing.
Approved / Verified
The requested verification has been accepted.
This does not guarantee future withdrawal approval or prevent another compliance review.
Rejected / Failed
One or more submitted materials were not accepted.
Record the reason before sending a replacement.
For dedicated troubleshooting:
Verification Does Not Guarantee a Withdrawal
This is one of the most important corrections on the page.
Completing KYC can satisfy an identity requirement.
A withdrawal can still involve other issues such as:
- payment-method ownership;
- account restrictions;
- transaction review;
- payment-processor problems;
- applicable account terms;
- additional security checks.
Therefore:
Verified account ≠ guaranteed withdrawal
and:
Verified account ≠ guaranteed withdrawal speed
For existing payment problems, use:
Melbet Deposit & Withdrawal Guide
Payment Ownership Can Be Part of Verification
Melbet’s current terms state that payment instruments should belong to the account holder and may be subject to additional verification.
This can matter when:
- a deposit came from another person’s payment account;
- account and payment names differ;
- several payment methods were used;
- the operator requests proof of ownership.
Do not attempt to alter screenshots or documents to make ownership appear different.
False or edited verification documents can create much more serious account problems.
Never Edit an Identity Document
The current Melbet terms expressly address forged or software-edited documents as a potential account issue.
Do not use:
- Photoshop;
- image editors;
- AI image tools;
- PDF editors
to change names, addresses, dates, photographs or identification numbers.
That includes attempts to “fix” a mismatch.
If the account information is genuinely incorrect, contact verified support and ask how it should be corrected.
Cropping vs Editing: Understand the Difference
Cropping an image to remove irrelevant background can sometimes be harmless, but it may also remove information needed for verification.
Do not crop:
- document corners;
- validity dates;
- names;
- document numbers;
- machine-readable areas;
- requested reverse-side information.
Follow the upload instructions.
If the system requires the entire document, submit the entire document.
Image Quality: What Actually Matters
Rather than prescribing an unsupported “300 DPI” rule, aim for a document image that is:
- sharp;
- readable;
- correctly oriented;
- evenly lit;
- free from glare;
- not obscured;
- not excessively compressed.
Avoid:
- motion blur;
- dark shadows;
- heavy filters;
- reflections;
- fingers covering text;
- screenshots of already-blurry photographs.
Do not increase resolution artificially using AI enhancement if that process changes the appearance of identification information.
Should You Use TinyPNG or Other Compression Tools?
The previous version specifically recommended third-party compression software.
That can create an unnecessary privacy issue.
An identity document contains sensitive information.
Uploading it to an unrelated online image-compression service can expose it to another company.
If the verification system imposes a file-size limit:
- use your device’s built-in export/compression feature where practical;
- preserve readability;
- avoid unknown online document-processing services.
Privacy is more important than shaving a few kilobytes from a file.
Document File Sizes Can Change
The previous page presented permanent limits such as:
5 MB for IDs
and:
2 MB for selfies.
We have removed these numbers.
Upload limits can change according to:
- website version;
- app;
- document type;
- verification provider;
- current platform configuration.
Use the size and format requirements shown in the actual upload interface.
File Formats Can Change Too
Do not assume that every verification request permanently accepts:
- PDF;
- JPG;
- PNG.
Check the interface.
If a file is rejected because of format, convert it using a trusted local method where possible rather than uploading an identity document to a random conversion website.
Name Mismatches
A mismatch does not always mean fraud.
Legitimate differences can arise from:
- middle names;
- initials;
- married names;
- transliteration;
- spelling variation;
- abbreviated addresses.
For example:
Account: Raj Kumar Sharma
Document: Raj K. Sharma
should not automatically be treated as equivalent or fraudulent by an independent guide.
If the verification system flags the difference, explain it accurately through the legitimate process.
Do not modify the document.
Address Mismatches
Addresses can legitimately differ because a person:
- recently moved;
- uses different formatting;
- has an abbreviated building name;
- has different postal formatting.
The old article suggested that even small formatting differences would necessarily cause delays.
That is too absolute.
The more important question is whether the information is genuinely accurate.
If your account contains an old address, ask verified support how it should be updated.
Do not manufacture a matching document.
Date-of-Birth Mismatch
A birth-date difference is more significant because it can affect identity and age verification.
If the account was created with the wrong date:
- do not create another account;
- do not alter an ID;
- contact verified support;
- explain the error accurately.
Preserve any support confirmation of the correction.
Duplicate Account Concerns
Melbet’s current terms restrict duplicate accounts and allow additional action where multiple accounts or questionable documentation are detected.
If you cannot access an existing account, do not automatically create a new one to restart KYC.
Instead, use:
Recovering the legitimate existing account is usually cleaner than creating another identity trail.
KYC Requested During Withdrawal
Verification requests often become particularly important when an existing withdrawal is under review.
If this happens:
- record the withdrawal reference;
- save the request for documents;
- confirm the request is genuine;
- submit only the required evidence;
- save proof of submission;
- monitor the transaction status.
Do not send another deposit because someone claims it is necessary to “verify” the withdrawal unless you have independently confirmed the contractual basis for that instruction.
Withdrawal Document Deadline
Melbet’s current published withdrawal terms state that requested documentary evidence may have to be supplied within a defined period.
If your account receives a formal verification request, read the deadline shown in the current terms or correspondence carefully.
Do not rely on an old blog article for the deadline.
Save:
- date of request;
- requested documents;
- date submitted;
- submission confirmation.
If the deadline is unclear, ask verified support in writing.
Video Conference Requested
If Melbet requests a video conference, treat it as a sensitive identity-verification event.
Before attending:
- confirm that the request appears in legitimate correspondence;
- verify the sender;
- understand what documents will be required;
- use a private location;
- avoid showing unrelated financial information;
- do not share passwords or OTP codes;
- keep the confirmation and appointment details.
The operator’s current terms state that video conferences may form part of its verification procedure.
A request for video verification should therefore not automatically be treated as fraud—but it must still be verified.
Fake KYC Requests Are a Serious Risk
Criminals know that users expect gambling platforms to request identification.
That makes KYC an effective phishing theme.
A fake message may say:
“Your withdrawal is frozen. Send Aadhaar immediately.”
or:
“Verification expires in 30 minutes.”
or:
“Send selfie + PAN to this WhatsApp number.”
or:
“Pay ₹3,000 for premium verification.”
Urgency should make you more cautious, not less cautious.
Before Uploading Any ID, Check Five Things
1. Did you initiate the account action?
Unexpected verification messages deserve additional scrutiny.
2. Is the domain correct?
Do not upload identity information through a link just because the page uses the Melbet logo.
3. Is the request visible inside your genuine account?
Where possible, compare the email/message against the account interface.
4. Does the request explain what is needed?
Vague demands for “all documents” should be questioned.
5. Is the upload channel appropriate?
A secure account upload is different from sending an ID to an unknown Telegram profile.
For broader protection:
Melbet Fake Website & Phishing Warning
Never Send These During KYC
Do not provide an independent support agent or unknown person with:
- Melbet password;
- email password;
- UPI PIN;
- banking PIN;
- active OTP;
- complete card CVV;
- remote access to your device.
These are authentication credentials, not identity-verification documents.
Be Careful With Screen-Sharing Apps
A fake support agent may ask you to install:
- AnyDesk;
- TeamViewer;
- another remote-control application.
Remote access can expose:
- banking apps;
- OTP notifications;
- emails;
- documents;
- passwords.
Do not grant device control merely to complete KYC.
Aadhaar and Document Privacy
Identity documents can expose more than a name.
Depending on the document, information may include:
- date of birth;
- full address;
- photograph;
- ID number;
- signature;
- tax identifier.
That information may have value for identity fraud.
Before supplying it to any offshore service, understand that document privacy and account verification are separate questions.
A verification request may be legitimate while still creating a meaningful privacy trade-off.
What Happens to Your Data?
Do not assume that passing verification means identity documents are immediately deleted.
Operators and their service providers may have retention obligations or internal policies.
Read the current:
- privacy policy;
- verification notice;
- terms and conditions.
Questions worth asking include:
- Who controls the data?
- Who processes the verification?
- Is a third-party verification provider involved?
- How long can documents be retained?
- Can you request access to your data?
- Can you request deletion?
- Are there exceptions to deletion?
For more information:
Melbet Data Deletion & Privacy Request
Account Closure Does Not Necessarily Delete KYC Immediately
Closing a gambling account and deleting personal information are not necessarily the same process.
A company may retain certain records for:
- legal obligations;
- fraud prevention;
- disputes;
- transaction records;
- regulatory requirements.
If privacy is your primary concern, make the data request separately and obtain a written response.

Melbet Data Deletion & Privacy Request
Common Reasons a Verification May Need Correction
Without assuming the specific reason for an individual account, common categories include:
Image unreadable
The document cannot be evaluated accurately.
Required information missing
Part of the requested document or reverse side may not have been supplied.
Account details differ
Name, birth date or another field needs clarification.
Document is not accepted for that request
The verification screen may require another type.
Payment ownership unclear
The payment account does not clearly correspond with the account holder.
Additional verification requested
A photograph, video or other evidence may be required.
Suspected edited document
The file appears manipulated.
For detailed troubleshooting:
What to Do After a Rejection
Do not immediately upload the same document repeatedly.
Use this sequence:
- Read the rejection message.
- Identify the exact document concerned.
- Determine whether the issue is quality, information, format or eligibility.
- Correct only the actual problem.
- Do not alter genuine document information.
- Resubmit through the verified process if instructed.
- Save confirmation.
If the reason remains unclear, contact verified support.
Verification Evidence Pack
For a complicated KYC review, maintain a private folder containing:
Verification request
- screenshot or email;
- date;
- requested document types.
Files submitted
Keep the original files privately.
Submission record
- date;
- time;
- confirmation screen.
Responses
- rejection message;
- additional-document request;
- approval notice.
Support correspondence
- ticket number;
- email thread;
- dates.
This can be useful if different support agents provide conflicting instructions.
Do Not Publish Your KYC Dispute Publicly With Full Documents
If you ask for help on:
- Reddit;
- Facebook;
- Telegram;
- review sites;
- forums,
do not upload your complete identity document.
Redact sensitive information in any public screenshot.
Keep the original privately for the actual dispute.
How to Contact Support About KYC
A useful message should be factual.
Include:
- account identifier where appropriate;
- verification date;
- document type;
- current status;
- exact rejection/error text;
- ticket/reference number.
For example:
Verification submitted: August 25, 2026
Status: Additional information required
Document concerned: Identity document
Displayed message: [exact text]
Question: Please confirm which requirement has not been satisfied.
Do not send the password or OTP.
For support guidance:
What If Support Asks for Another Document?
Do not assume that the first verification request is necessarily the last.
Melbet’s current terms give the company broad discretion to request additional information needed to confirm identity or account details.
If another document is requested:
- verify the request;
- understand what it is intended to establish;
- check whether you have already supplied equivalent information;
- provide only what is required;
- keep the request and response.
If you believe the request is excessive, ask for clarification before submitting unrelated sensitive information.
Can KYC Be Repeated?
Potentially, yes.
Passing one verification does not necessarily prevent future checks.
Additional review might follow:
- changed personal information;
- payment-method changes;
- withdrawal review;
- suspicious-login activity;
- account-security investigation;
- other compliance concerns.
Do not interpret a second request as proof of fraud without investigating where it came from.
KYC Is Not a Security Guarantee
Verification can help establish identity.
It does not prove that:
- the website can never be breached;
- account credentials cannot be stolen;
- withdrawals will always succeed;
- the operator is authorised in India;
- every payment method is permitted;
- gambling is financially safe.
Treat KYC as one security/compliance mechanism rather than a complete safety guarantee.
Read:
KYC Is Not a Reason to Deposit More Money
Never send additional money simply because someone says:
“A larger deposit will complete verification.”
or:
“You need to deposit ₹10,000 before KYC can be approved.”
Verification normally concerns evidence and account information.
An unexpected request for another transfer should be independently verified.
Do not chase inaccessible funds with additional payments.
India-Specific Considerations
Verification does not create legal authorisation
An identity-verified account can still involve a service prohibited under current Indian law.
Payment verification does not mean the payment provider approved gambling
A payment company’s involvement in a transaction does not prove that the gambling service has Indian regulatory approval.
Foreign licensing and Indian law are separate
KYC conducted under an offshore operator’s compliance program does not replace Indian legal requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Melbet require KYC?
Melbet’s current terms allow the company to request documents or information to verify identity and account details. Whether and when a particular account receives a request can vary.
Is PAN required for every Indian Melbet account?
We have not verified a universal rule requiring PAN from every Indian account. Follow the current requirement associated with your individual verification request.
Is Aadhaar mandatory?
We do not present Aadhaar as universally mandatory. If it is specifically requested, verify the request and upload channel before supplying sensitive information.
Does Melbet require a selfie?
Its published terms allow photographic verification, including a photograph of a customer holding identification. That does not mean every account necessarily receives that requirement.
Can Melbet request video verification?
Yes. Current published terms allow video material and/or a video conference as part of identity verification.
How long does Melbet KYC take?
Do not rely on the previous 30-minute–2-hour claim. Current published terms state that document/material verification may take up to 72 hours, video-conference outcomes up to five business days after completion, and submitted video materials up to 14 business days. Individual circumstances can differ.
Does completing KYC increase withdrawal limits?
We do not claim that verification automatically increases every account’s limits. Limits can depend on payment method, account and other conditions.
Does completing KYC guarantee withdrawals?
No. Identity verification can satisfy one requirement but does not guarantee approval or timing.
Why was my Melbet verification rejected?
Possible reasons include unreadable documents, information mismatches, unsupported documents, incomplete submissions or a need for additional verification. Use the exact rejection message to diagnose the problem.
Should I edit a document so the address matches?
No. Do not manipulate official identification or proof documents.
Should I create a new account if KYC fails?
No. Creating another account can create duplicate-account issues. Resolve the existing verification problem first.
Can support ask for my OTP?
Treat OTP codes as confidential authentication credentials. Do not send an active OTP to an unknown person claiming to provide verification assistance.
Should I send my documents to Telegram support?
Only use a communication or upload channel you have independently established as authorised. Random Telegram, WhatsApp and social-media accounts present significant identity-theft risk.
Does verification mean Melbet is legal in India?
No. Account verification and legal authorisation are separate issues.
Can Melbet request proof of my payment method?
Its current published terms allow additional verification of payment instruments and documentary evidence in connection with withdrawals.
Can I request deletion of my KYC documents?
Privacy rights and retention rules depend on the applicable policy and legal circumstances. Use our data-deletion and privacy-request guide to understand what to ask for.

Our Assessment
A useful KYC article should not tell readers:
“Upload PAN, Aadhaar and a selfie and you will be approved within two hours.”
That is too simplistic for a process involving sensitive identity information.
A better verification guide answers:
- Why is verification being requested?
- Which document does my actual account request?
- Is the request genuine?
- Is PAN really required in this case?
- Do I need to send Aadhaar?
- Is payment ownership being checked?
- Why was my document rejected?
- Can Melbet request video verification?
- What happens while a withdrawal is being reviewed?
- What should I never send to support?
- How can I protect sensitive identification?
- What records should I keep?
- Does KYC change the legal status of the underlying gambling service?
Those questions provide value even to someone who ultimately decides not to submit additional documents or continue using the service.
Editorial Methodology
Author: Editorial Team
Review date: August 28, 2026
This page was rebuilt as an identity-verification, privacy and account-security resource rather than a promotional gambling guide.
For this update, the Editorial Team reviewed:
- the previous MelbetAgents.net KYC article;
- Melbet’s currently published Terms and Conditions;
- Melbet’s published rules regarding identity and payment verification;
- current Government of India online-gaming materials;
- Google’s current guidance on helpful, reliable, people-first content.
The previous version contained several claims that we no longer present as universally applicable.
These included:
- PAN is mandatory for every Indian user;
- Aadhaar is mandatory for every Indian user;
- every user must provide a selfie;
- facial recognition is used universally;
- permanent 5 MB ID limits;
- permanent 2 MB selfie limits;
- fixed PDF/JPG/PNG requirements;
- 300-DPI scans are required;
- verification normally takes 30 minutes to two hours;
- KYC automatically lifts payment limits;
- verification unlocks special bonuses;
- KYC produces faster customer support;
- PAN or Aadhaar may be rejected simply because it is over ten years old;
- a single missing address character automatically causes rejection;
- completing verification means a user can continue betting “without a hitch.”
What the current operator terms support
Melbet’s published terms currently allow the operator to:
- request identity documentation and personal information;
- request additional payment-method evidence;
- request photographic identity evidence;
- request submitted video material;
- conduct a video conference;
- suspend certain transactions while verification is incomplete.
The terms also publish different potential review periods for different forms of verification.
We cite these rules as operator-published terms, not as guarantees that every account will receive the same process.
Why this page exists
The editorial purpose of this page is to help existing account holders understand:
- what a KYC request means;
- how to identify unsafe document requests;
- how to protect identity information;
- how to document a verification problem;
- how KYC can interact with account or withdrawal reviews.
It is not designed to persuade a reader to register, deposit or gamble.
