Maximum Casino KYC & AML Policy

Maximum Casino operates under a United Kingdom licence and applies Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CTF) controls to meet regulatory requirements. These measures support identity check and ID verification, protect personal data, and help detect suspicious activity through proportionate security measures. The policy outlines reporting obligations and the responsibilities placed on the operator and users.

Purpose of KYC & AML

The platform applies KYC and AML procedures to verify identity, prevent fraud, and combat financial crime in the UK. These controls promote account protection and user safety across casino and sportsbook services.

  • Fair play
  • User safety
  • Transparency
  • Regulatory compliance

KYC Requirements

Every new user must complete identity verification before gambling or making withdrawals, as required by the UK Gambling Commission. Document submission may be requested through secure channels to validate the account holder’s details.

  • Valid government-issued photo ID
  • Proof of residential address
  • Confirmation of ownership of the selected payment method
  • Additional information relevant to source of funds where required

AML Measures

The operator maintains controls to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illegal activity, consistent with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Terrorism Act 2000, and UKGC guidance. Measures apply across deposits, wagers, and withdrawals and are calibrated to risk.

  • Continuous transaction monitoring and activity review
  • Automated detection rules and alerts for suspicious activity
  • Enhanced due diligence for higher-risk events, customers, or jurisdictions
  • Reviews of large or unusual transfers and patterns inconsistent with the user profile
  • Risk scoring and periodic reassessment
  • Sanctions and politically exposed person (PEP) screening
  • Reporting obligations, including filing Suspicious Activity Reports to the National Crime Agency where required

Prohibited Activities

To support KYC and AML standards, certain behaviours are not permitted. Breaches may result in immediate intervention to protect users and the integrity of the platform.

  • Creating or using multiple accounts
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents
  • Attempting to launder proceeds of crime or conceal beneficial ownership
  • Manipulating systems, odds, or promotions to evade controls
  • Sharing, selling, or transferring account access
  • Using payment instruments owned by third parties
  • Misrepresenting identity or acting on behalf of another person

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Violations of this policy trigger proportionate enforcement under UK law and licence conditions. Actions depend on risk, evidence, and statutory thresholds for notifications.

Temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings, reporting to competent authorities where applicable.

User Responsibilities

Users must provide accurate and up-to-date personal data and complete ID verification when requested. Additional documents must be supplied promptly to support checks, including where source of funds evidence is necessary. Only payment methods owned and controlled by the account holder may be used for deposits and withdrawals. Users must respond in a timely manner to communications about verification and report any suspicious activity or unauthorised access to support account protection and responsible gaming.

Fair Play and Transparency

The operator promotes fair play and transparency to protect customers and maintain a safe environment. Practices are designed to deter crime while supporting legitimate play.

  • Compliance with KYC and AML standards and UK regulatory requirements
  • Confidentiality and protection of personal data under applicable law
  • Ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity and risk indicators
  • Prevention of manipulation, collusion, and unfair behaviour
  • Guidance and user support on safety and verification matters
