WishKing KYC and AML Policy

WishKing applies Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures to confirm the identity of every account holder and to maintain a secure gaming environment. These checks reflect regulatory requirements applicable to licensed gambling operators in Ireland and help prevent fraud, money laundering, and the financing of terrorism. The sections below explain how identity check and document submission processes work, along with the responsibilities placed on both WishKing and its users.

Purpose of KYC and AML

WishKing carries out identity check procedures and applies AML controls to confirm who holds each account, reduce fraud, and address financial crime across its casino and sportsbook products. These measures support several guarantees for account holders:

  • Fair play for every participant across casino and sportsbook products;
  • Protection of personal data and account security through verified access;
  • Transparency in how funds are deposited, wagered, and withdrawn;
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements applicable to gambling operators in Ireland.

KYC Requirements and Document Submission

Every new account holder must complete identity verification before full access to deposits, withdrawals, and other account features is granted. Depending on individual circumstances, WishKing may request the following categories of documentation:

  • A photo ID issued by a government authority, such as a passport or driving licence;
  • Proof of address dated within a recent period, such as a utility bill or bank statement;
  • Confirmation of ownership for the payment method used to fund the account.

AML Measures and Transaction Monitoring

WishKing maintains a set of controls designed to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illegal activity across its operations. These controls include:

  • Ongoing transaction monitoring to identify irregular patterns of activity
  • Automated detection rules that flag deposits, withdrawals, or betting behaviour outside expected norms
  • Additional due diligence applied to accounts linked to events that present a higher risk
  • Manual review of large or unusual transfers before funds are released
  • Risk scoring applied to accounts based on behaviour and transaction history
  • Checks against sanctions lists and politically exposed persons registers
  • Reports submitted to competent authorities where suspicious activity is confirmed

Prohibited Activities Under This Policy

Certain actions are restricted on WishKing to support the integrity of KYC and AML controls and to protect account holders. The following activities are not permitted:

  • Use of multiple accounts linked to the same individual;
  • Submission of forged, altered, or stolen identification documents;
  • Attempts to launder funds through deposits, bets, or withdrawals;
  • Manipulation of platform systems or exploitation of technical errors;
  • Transfer, sale, or sharing of account access with another person;
  • Use of payment instruments belonging to another individual to fund an account;
  • Misrepresentation of identity or provision of false personal data during registration.

Consequences of Policy Violations

Breaches of this policy result in enforcement action proportionate to the nature of the violation. Depending on the circumstances, WishKing may apply temporary or permanent suspension of the account, freezing or confiscation of funds connected to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings associated with the breach, and reporting to competent authorities where applicable.

Responsibilities of the Account Holder

Account holders are expected to provide accurate and current personal data at registration and to update that information whenever circumstances change. Verification steps should be completed within the timeframe requested, and any additional documents sought by the compliance team should be submitted promptly. Only payment methods registered in the account holder’s own name may be used to fund or withdraw from the account. Any indication of suspicious activity, whether affecting an individual account or observed elsewhere on the platform, should be reported to WishKing support without delay.

Fair Play, Transparency, and User Safety

WishKing maintains fair play and transparency standards to protect account holders and preserve a secure gaming environment across its casino and sportsbook products. This commitment is reflected in the following principles:

  • Adherence to KYC and AML standards for every account holder;
  • Confidentiality and protection of personal data collected during verification;
  • Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity across deposits, withdrawals, and gameplay;
  • Prevention of manipulation, collusion, or other unfair behaviour;
  • Support available to account holders on matters of safety and account protection;
  • Shared responsibility between the platform and account holders in maintaining compliance;
  • Equal conditions applied to all users regardless of account history or status.
