Stake AML Policy

Stake applies KYC and AML procedures to verify user identity, prevent fraud, and combat financial crime across all accounts and transactions. These procedures support a safe, transparent, and legally compliant environment for every user on the platform Stake.

The following principles guide this framework:

• Fair play for all users through consistent application of verification standards;
• Protection of personal data and individual account security;
• Full transparency in how accounts are reviewed and monitored;
• Strict adherence to applicable regulatory requirements;
• Prevention of the platform from being used for any form of financial misconduct.

Every new user is required to complete an identity check before accessing the full range of platform features, including deposits, withdrawals, and participation in real-money activity. The following categories of documents may be requested during the ID verification process:

• A valid, government-issued photo identification document such as a passport, national identity card, or driving licence;
• Proof of residential address, such as a recent utility bill, bank statement, or official correspondence issued within the last three months;
• Confirmation of ownership of the payment method used for transactions on the account;
• Additional supporting documentation where enhanced due diligence is required based on account activity or risk assessment.

Site and Stake app implements a comprehensive set of controls to detect, prevent, and report money laundering, terrorist financing, and other forms of illegal financial activity on the platform. These security measures are applied consistently and updated in accordance with applicable legal standards.

Key AML controls in place include:

• Continuous transaction monitoring to identify irregular or suspicious activity across all accounts;
• Automated detection rules that flag unusual patterns in deposits, withdrawals, and betting behaviour;
• Enhanced due diligence procedures applied to accounts identified as high risk;
• Manual review of large or atypical fund transfers that fall outside established thresholds;
• Risk scoring mechanisms that assess user profiles based on verified information and account history;
• Screening of users against international sanctions lists and politically exposed persons (PEP) databases;
• Reporting of suspicious activity to the competent authorities in accordance with applicable reporting obligations.

Certain actions are strictly prohibited on the platform as they undermine the integrity of KYC and AML controls and expose the platform to legal and financial risk. All users are required to refrain from the following:

• Operating or attempting to operate multiple accounts under different identities;
• Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents during the document submission process;
• Using the platform in any manner intended to launder funds or conceal the origin of money;
• Manipulating platform systems, bet settlements, or account balances through fraudulent means;
• Sharing, selling, or transferring account access to any third party;
• Using payment instruments that are not registered in the account holder’s own name;
• Providing false, misleading, or incomplete information during registration or at any stage of the verification process.

Any breach of KYC or AML obligations will result in enforcement action proportionate to the nature and severity of the violation. Depending on the circumstances, this may include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or associated winnings, and reporting of the account holder to the competent regulatory or law enforcement authorities where applicable.

Every user holds a personal responsibility to ensure that all information provided to the platform is accurate, complete, and kept up to date at all times. Users are required to complete the verification process within the timeframes specified and to respond promptly to any request for additional documentation submitted by the platform’s compliance team. All payment methods linked to an account must be exclusively owned and operated by the registered account holder, with no use of third-party instruments permitted under any circumstances. Users are also expected to report any suspicious activity they observe on their account, including unauthorised access or transactions they did not initiate. Failure to meet these responsibilities may result in restrictions being placed on account functionality until compliance is achieved.

Stake upholds the principles of fair play and transparency to protect the interests of every user and to maintain a safe, trustworthy environment across all platform activity. This commitment is reflected in the following standards:

• Full compliance with applicable KYC and AML regulations and industry standards;
• Responsible handling, confidentiality, and protection of all personal data submitted during the verification process;
• Ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity to safeguard the integrity of the platform;
• Active prevention of manipulation, fraudulent behaviour, and any form of unfair advantage;
• Availability of user support for matters related to account security and compliance obligations;
• A shared responsibility model in which both the platform and its users contribute to a secure environment;
• Equal application of verification and monitoring standards to all users, without exception.
