Detailed Account Validation Guide

We usually ask you to verify upon your first withdrawal request or when you hit a certain deposit threshold, and we send an email with a direct link to our secure upload portal. We recommend completing the process proactively to avoid later delays. The online form requires three items: a clear scan of a government-issued ID, a recent utility bill or bank statement for address proof, and if you deposited using a card, evidence of card ownership. Following the upload, our compliance team reviews your files manually. Upon approval, a confirmation email is sent to you and your account status changes to fully verified.

Documents Approved from Canada-Based Players
For identity verification, we approve a passport from Canada, driver’s license, or government photo identification like a BC Services Card. The document must be unexpired and display all four corners clearly; health cards are not accepted where prohibited. Your address proof can be a utility bill, bank statement, or CRA notice provided in the last three months, and it should match your registered address exactly. If you just relocated, a rental agreement is acceptable. For payment method checks, we request the minimum: a card photo with the mid digits and CVV covered so only the first six and last four digits show, an Interac e-Transfer banking screenshot, or an e-wallet dashboard image. Electronic documents are valid, and we guide you every step.
