About this project

One subject, explained from the customer’s side of the desk: what the verification process asks, why it asks, and what to do when it stalls.

What this site is

KYC Guide explains identity verification in a licensed gambling account. It covers the stages a check moves through, the six documents an account may request, the liveness check, source-of-funds and source-of-wealth requests, the windows involved, and what to do when a payout is held behind an unfinished check. Everything applies to adults, and everything is written for the person who has to find a document on a Tuesday evening, not for a compliance department.

The editorial rules

  • Hedged on purpose. Rules come from licences, and licences differ by market. Where practice varies, the text says so rather than inventing a global standard.
  • No operator named. Nothing here ranks, reviews or recommends a company, and no page claims that any particular product runs any particular check.
  • No promise of outcomes. Verification is not described as making play safe or profitable, because it does neither. It identifies people; it does not change the odds of a game.
  • Corrections welcome. Where a rule is misdescribed, the description is the error and it should be fixed rather than defended.

How the site is funded

By one affiliate link to an operator. If a reader opens an account through gamdom.com/r/csgo2026 and plays, the site may earn a commission. That is the whole of the business model: no display advertising, no paid placement inside the content, and no company able to buy a change to a page. The disclosure appears on every page for that reason.

18+. Gambling carries real risk of serious financial harm. If it has stopped being a form of entertainment, national gambling-harm helplines are free and confidential in most countries, for the player and for the people around them.

Verification is one part of an account

If you want to see what a licensed, age-gated operator account looks like in practice, the partner link below opens one. Nothing about it changes the advice on this page.

Open the partner account

This page is funded by an affiliate link to gamdom.com/r/csgo2026. If you open an account through it we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra, it does not change what we write, and no operator pays for a position on this page. 18+ only. Gambling involves risk and can cause serious financial harm — including debt, damaged relationships and mental-health problems. Verification discusses money and identity, so never send a document to anyone who did not ask for it through the account you opened, and never send more of a document than the check requires. Free, confidential support exists in most countries through national gambling-harm helplines. Never stake money you cannot afford to lose, never borrow to gamble, and never stake more to recover a loss.
