KYC and Verification

At Cazeus, ensuring a safe, secure, and responsible gaming environment for all our players is paramount. Identity verification is a cornerstone of this commitment. By verifying your identity, we can confirm that you are of legal gambling age, protect your account from unauthorized access, and prevent fraudulent activities. This process also allows us to comply with stringent regulatory requirements set by our licensing authority, fostering trust and transparency in all our operations.

Our verification procedures are designed to protect both you, the player, and Cazeus, the operator, from potential risks. We aim to make this process as straightforward as possible while upholding the highest standards of security and compliance.

KYC, or "Know Your Customer," refers to the mandatory process of identifying and verifying the identity of our customers. This is a critical component of our anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) obligations. KYC involves collecting and assessing specific personal information and documentation from you.

For Cazeus, KYC is not merely a regulatory burden, it is a fundamental practice that helps us maintain the integrity of our platform. It allows us to understand who our players are, ensuring that our services are not misused for illicit purposes and that we can provide a secure environment for legitimate gaming.

Verification is an ongoing process that may be triggered at various stages of your interaction with Cazeus. Typically, initial verification is required upon registration or before your first withdrawal. However, we may request additional verification at any time, including but not limited to:

• When you reach certain deposit or withdrawal thresholds.
• If there are changes to your personal information.
• If suspicious or unusual account activity is detected.
• As part of our periodic reviews to ensure compliance with current regulations.
• Before processing significant withdrawals, regardless of previous verification status.

Failure to provide requested documentation when required may result in restrictions on your account, including the inability to deposit, play, or withdraw funds.

To complete our verification procedures, we may request various documents. These documents are categorized to confirm your identity, address, and the ownership of your payment methods. All documents submitted must be valid, current, and clearly legible. We reserve the right to request certified copies if the authenticity of a document cannot be established from a digital submission.

We will provide clear instructions on how to submit your documents securely. Please ensure that all sensitive information, such as document numbers not required for verification, is appropriately redacted before submission, where possible and practical.

To confirm your identity, we typically require one of the following government-issued photographic identification documents:

• A valid passport.
• A valid national identity card.
• A valid driver's license (both front and back).

The document must be in date, show your full name, date of birth, a clear photograph, and signature. The entire document, including all four corners, must be visible in the image provided. We may also require a "selfie" holding your ID to further confirm your identity and prevent fraud.

To verify your residential address, we require a document issued within the last three months that clearly displays your full name and current address. Acceptable documents include:

• A utility bill (e.g., electricity, water, gas, internet, landline phone). Mobile phone bills are generally not accepted.
• A bank statement or credit card statement.
• A government-issued letter or tax statement.

The document must be dated within the last 90 days. P.O. Box addresses are not accepted as proof of residential address. The full document, showing the issuer's logo, your name, address, and date of issue, must be visible.

To ensure the security of your transactions and prevent unauthorized use of payment instruments, we require verification of the payment methods used on your Cazeus account. The specific documents needed will depend on the payment method:

• Credit/Debit Cards: A clear photo of the front and back of the card. For security, please obscure the middle six to eight digits of the card number on the front and the CVV/CVC code on the back. Your name, expiry date, and the first and last four digits of the card number must be clearly visible.
• E-Wallets (e.g., Skrill, Neteller): A screenshot of your e-wallet account page showing your name, email address, and account ID.
• Bank Transfers: A copy of a bank statement or an online banking screenshot showing your name, bank account number, and the bank's logo.

All payment methods must be registered in your name. Third-party deposits are strictly prohibited.

In certain circumstances, particularly for larger transactions or if our risk assessment indicates a need, Cazeus may be required to request information and documentation regarding the source of your funds (SOF) or source of wealth (SOW). This is part of our enhanced due diligence (EDD) procedures and is a legal obligation under anti-money laundering regulations.

Documents that may be requested to evidence your source of funds/wealth include, but are not limited to:

• Payslips or employment contracts.
• Bank statements showing accumulated savings.
• Proof of inheritance.
• Property sale agreements.
• Company accounts or dividend statements.

We understand that this information is highly personal. All data provided will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and used solely for regulatory compliance purposes. Our aim is to ensure that funds used on our platform originate from legitimate sources.

Once you submit your documents, our dedicated verification team will review them. We strive to process all verification requests as quickly and efficiently as possible. Typically, initial verification can take up to 24-48 hours, though this may vary depending on the volume of requests and the clarity of the documents provided.

You will be notified via email or through your Cazeus account messaging system once your documents have been reviewed and your verification status updated. If additional information or clearer copies are needed, we will contact you with specific instructions. Please ensure the email address registered on your account is current and regularly checked.

Cazeus employs robust security measures to protect your personal data and submitted documents. All information is transmitted and stored using advanced encryption technologies, adhering to strict data protection regulations, including GDPR. Access to your documents is restricted to authorized personnel only, who are trained in data privacy and security protocols.

We will never share your personal information or documents with third parties unless legally required to do so by our licensing authority or other regulatory bodies. Your trust and privacy are of paramount importance to us, and we are committed to safeguarding your data.

Cazeus is fully committed to combating money laundering and terrorist financing. Our KYC and verification procedures are integral to our comprehensive Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policy. We operate in strict compliance with the laws and regulations of our licensing jurisdiction and international standards.

By verifying player identities and monitoring transactions, we aim to detect and prevent any attempts to use our platform for illicit activities. Any suspicious transactions or activities will be reported to the relevant authorities, as required by law. This commitment protects our platform, our players, and the broader financial system.

Underage gambling is strictly prohibited at Cazeus. All players must be at least 18 years of age, or the legal age for gambling in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. Age verification is a non-negotiable part of our registration and verification process.

Our systems are designed to detect and prevent minors from accessing our services. If we discover that a player is underage, their account will be immediately closed, any winnings will be forfeited, and any deposits made may be returned, subject to our terms and conditions and regulatory obligations. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling sites.

While we strive for quick verification, delays can occur if documents are unclear, incomplete, or if additional information is required. If your verification is delayed, please check your registered email for communications from Cazeus. We will inform you of the reason for the delay and any further steps needed.

If verification is unsuccessful after multiple attempts or if you fail to provide the requested documents within a reasonable timeframe, your account may be suspended or permanently closed. Any funds held in the account may be frozen or withheld in accordance with our terms and conditions and regulatory obligations. We will always communicate the reasons for such actions.
