KYC (Know Your Customer)
Plain-language definition for casino players.
KYC (Know Your Customer) is the identity-verification process required by AML regulations before a casino can pay you out. Typical KYC at offshore casinos: government-issued ID (passport or driving licence) + selfie holding the ID + sometimes a recent utility bill or bank statement showing your address.
Most casinos trigger KYC on the first withdrawal or above a threshold ($2,000 is common). Verification turnaround at well-run brands is 24-72 hours. KYC is one-time — subsequent withdrawals process immediately. Keep your ID photo clear and the document in-date; the #1 reason for stalled withdrawals is a blurred or expired ID.
