Our AML and Verification Policy
We hold our licence under the Malta Gaming Authority (licence MGA/B2C/823/2024), and every account at Kinbet Casino runs under strict anti-money-laundering controls. This page sets out exactly what we check, when we check it, and what we need from you.
Our AML Commitment
We operate under the anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing framework of our licence jurisdiction, Malta, enforced by the Malta Gaming Authority. That framework binds us to identify every player, monitor all account activity, and report suspicious transactions to the relevant financial intelligence unit.
Money laundering through gambling takes many forms, from depositing funds with no genuine play intent to cycling money between payment methods. Our compliance team, headed by our Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO), applies risk-based checks to every account. We also cooperate fully with regulators and law enforcement where legally required.
When We Verify Your Account
Verification at Kinbet Casino is not a one-off event. We run identity checks at registration, full document checks before your first withdrawal, and additional reviews when you cross certain thresholds or your activity changes in a way we cannot explain from what we already know.
- At registration: your name, date of birth, address and contact details, screened against sanction and politically-exposed-person lists.
- Before your first withdrawal: full KYC, including ID document, proof of address and payment method ownership.
- At thresholds: reviews when deposits, withdrawals or net losses exceed AUD 2,000 in a rolling period, or at any point our monitoring flags unusual activity.
- On change: re-verification if you change your name, address, currency or payment methods.
| Check | When | What you provide | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identity | Registration and first withdrawal | Passport, driver licence or national ID card | Proof of address | First withdrawal | Utility bill or bank statement issued within 3 months | Payment method | First withdrawal | Photo of card (middle digits covered), bank statement or e-wallet screenshot | Source of funds | When triggered | Payslips, tax returns or other evidence of wealth |
How Verification Works
The process runs through your account settings. Most checks complete within 24 to 72 hours, and we process standard cases well inside that window. Here is what happens after you upload your documents.
Your documents are stored on encrypted servers with access restricted to our compliance team. We never share your verification data with third parties except where our licence or applicable law requires it.
- 1. Log in and open the verification section of your account.
- 2. Photograph or scan each document so all four corners are visible and every detail is legible.
- 3. Upload the files, check your email for confirmation of receipt.
- 4. Our compliance team reviews the submission and may request clarification.
- 5. You receive the outcome by email; approved documents stay on file so you verify once, not every withdrawal.
When We Ask for Source of Funds
If your deposits exceed what your declared profile suggests, we may ask where the money comes from. This is not an accusation; it is a legal obligation under our MGA licence, and it protects you as much as it protects us.
We typically request source-of-funds evidence when cumulative deposits pass AUD 10,000, when single deposits are unusually large relative to your history, or when betting patterns show no genuine interest in play. Acceptable evidence includes payslips, employment contracts, tax returns, dividend statements or sale contracts. Once we receive clear documentation, we restore full account access promptly.
Monitoring Deposits and Withdrawals
Every deposit and withdrawal on our platform passes automated and manual screening. Deposits confirm the funds originate from a payment method in your own name; withdrawals go back by the same method you used to deposit wherever that method supports payouts, a rule that stops third parties from receiving your money.
Our limits are AUD 8,000 per day and AUD 32,000 per month, with withdrawals processed within 0 to 24 hours. Crypto withdrawals via Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether or Litecoin complete within 0 to 1 hour once checks clear. We charge no fees on deposits or withdrawals. Amounts that deviate sharply from your normal pattern trigger a manual review before we release funds.
If Verification Fails or Stalls
Where documents are missing, expired or inconsistent with your account details, we suspend withdrawals until the issue is resolved. You keep access to your account and can still play with your existing balance, but no funds leave the platform until your identity is confirmed.
If we suspect that an account involves third-party payments, false identity details or attempts to disguise the source of funds, we freeze the account and review it under our AML procedures. Suspected money laundering is reported to the authorities, and in those cases we may be legally prevented from telling you the outcome. Accounts closed for serious breaches forfeit bonuses and pending winnings, and deposits are returned only to verified methods in your own name.
How Long We Keep Your Documents
Our licence requires us to retain verification records for five years after your account closes. We keep the data secure, restrict access to trained compliance staff and delete or anonymise it once the retention period ends. You may request a copy of the documents we hold about you at any time by contacting [email protected], and our 24/7 live chat can walk you through the request.
Kinbet Casino FAQ
How long does KYC take at Kinbet Casino?
Most verifications complete within 24 to 72 hours. Straightforward cases with clear documents are often approved the same day.
Do I need to verify before depositing?
No. You can deposit and play after basic registration checks. Full document verification applies before your first withdrawal or when you cross certain activity thresholds.
Why must withdrawals use the same method as deposits?
The same-method rule confirms that funds return to the person who deposited them. It is a core anti-money-laundering control required by our MGA licence.
What happens if I refuse to provide source of funds?
We suspend withdrawals until the review closes. Without acceptable evidence we cannot lawfully release funds, so accounts that stay unverified are eventually closed with deposits returned to a verified method in your own name.
