Gambiva KYC and AML Policy

Gambiva operates under regulatory requirements set out by the UK Gambling Commission to protect account holders and prevent financial crime. Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures form part of the platform’s licensing obligations and require every identity check and document submission to meet recognised industry standards. These measures support user safety, account protection and a transparent gaming environment for customers based in the United Kingdom.

Purpose of KYC & AML

Gambiva applies KYC and AML procedures to confirm the identity of each account holder, prevent fraudulent activity and counter financial crime, including terrorism financing. These checks support several core guarantees for users in the United Kingdom:

  • Fair play across all casino and sportsbook activities;
  • Protection against fraud, identity theft and unauthorised account use;
  • Transparency in how personal data and funds are handled;
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements and licensing conditions;
  • Prevention of underage access to gambling services.

KYC Requirements

Every new customer must complete identity verification before withdrawals are processed or full account access is granted. Depending on individual circumstances, Gambiva may request the following categories of documentation:

  • A valid photo ID issued by a government authority, such as a passport or driving licence;
  • Proof of current address, dated within a recent period;
  • Confirmation of ownership for any payment method used on the account;
  • Additional documentation to verify source of funds where required by regulatory requirements;
  • Information confirming date of birth and age eligibility.

AML Measures

Gambiva maintains a series of internal controls designed to detect and prevent money laundering, terrorism financing and related illegal activity. These measures include:

  • Ongoing transaction monitoring across deposits, withdrawals and betting patterns;
  • Automated detection rules that flag unusual or suspicious activity;
  • Enhanced due diligence procedures applied to elevated risk events or account behaviour;
  • Manual review of large or irregular fund transfers;
  • Risk scoring applied to each account holder based on activity and profile;
  • Screening against sanctions lists and politically exposed persons (PEP) registers;
  • Reporting obligations fulfilled with relevant UK authorities when suspicious activity is identified.

Prohibited Activities

Certain actions are strictly forbidden on the platform to uphold KYC and AML standards and protect the integrity of the service. Prohibited activities include:

  • Operating multiple accounts under one identity or household;
  • Submitting forged, altered or stolen identification documents;
  • Attempting to launder funds through deposits, bets or withdrawals;
  • Manipulating games, odds or platform systems for unfair advantage;
  • Sharing, selling or transferring account access to another person;
  • Using payment instruments not registered under the account holder’s own name;
  • Misrepresenting identity or personal data during registration or verification.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Any breach of this policy or applicable regulatory requirements results in enforcement action proportionate to the violation identified. Depending on the circumstances, Gambiva may apply temporary or permanent account suspension, freeze or confiscate funds linked to suspicious activity, cancel bets or winnings associated with the breach, and report the matter to competent authorities where applicable.

User Responsibilities

Account holders are required to provide accurate and current personal data at registration and update this information whenever changes occur. Verification steps, including document submission for ID verification, must be completed within the timeframes specified by Gambiva. Requests for additional documents or clarification should be answered promptly to avoid delays or restrictions on the account. Only payment methods owned and registered under the account holder’s own name may be used for deposits and withdrawals. Any suspicious activity observed on the platform, related to the account itself or to other users, should be reported without delay.

Fair Play and Transparency

Gambiva upholds fair play and transparency across its casino and sportsbook services to protect account holders and preserve a secure gaming environment. This commitment is reflected in several principles:

  • Full compliance with KYC and AML standards across all markets served;
  • Confidentiality and protection of personal data in line with UK data protection law;
  • Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity across accounts and transactions;
  • Prevention of manipulation, collusion and other forms of unfair behaviour;
  • Support for account holders regarding security measures and responsible gaming;
  • Shared responsibility between the platform and its users in maintaining a safe environment;
  • Equal conditions applied consistently to all customers regardless of status or activity level.
