Introduction to identity checks, ID verification, and AML in Canada

Almabet applies identity check and AML controls to verify each account holder, prevent fraud, and combat financial crime. These measures maintain a trusted environment in line with Canadian reporting obligations.

• Fair play across all games and wagers
• User safety and account protection
• Transparency on how verification and transaction monitoring work
• Compliance with regulatory requirements in Canada

Every new user must complete ID verification before accessing full services. Additional checks may be required during the account lifecycle to confirm ongoing eligibility.

• Government-issued photo identification
• Proof of address showing current residence
• Payment-method ownership confirmation matching the account holder

The platform maintains security measures to prevent money laundering and illegal activity. Controls align with Canadian rules and are scaled by risk level.

• Continuous transaction monitoring for unusual patterns and suspicious activity
• Automated detection rules and scenario-based alerts
• Enhanced due diligence for higher-risk profiles, trigger events, or jurisdictions
• Reviews of large, rapid, or unusual deposits, withdrawals, or transfers
• Risk scoring to adjust oversight and verification depth
• Sanctions and PEP screening in line with Canadian lists and international obligations
• Reporting to FINTRAC and other competent authorities where required by law

Certain behaviours are restricted to support robust ID verification and AML controls. Breaches may result in enforcement as outlined below.

• Creating or using multiple accounts to avoid identity check
• Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents during document submission
• Any attempt to launder funds or disguise the source of money
• Manipulating systems, exploiting vulnerabilities, or evading security measures
• Sharing, renting, or selling access to an account
• Using third-party payment instruments or unverified wallets
• Misrepresenting identity, beneficial ownership, or source of funds

Violations of KYC or AML rules trigger proportionate actions based on risk and legal obligations.

Consequences can include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings, reporting to competent authorities where applicable.

Users must provide accurate and current personal data, and complete verification steps within requested timelines. Additional information may be required at any time to confirm identity, source of funds, or payment-method ownership. Only methods owned and controlled by the account holder may be used for deposits and withdrawals. Users must respond promptly to requests for further document submission and report any suspicious activity to customer support. Responsible gaming and safe account practices are expected at all times.

The platform upholds fair play and transparency to protect users and keep the gaming environment safe. These principles guide AML controls, identity verification, and ongoing oversight.

• Compliance with KYC/AML standards and Canadian reporting obligations
• Confidentiality and protection of personal data
• Ongoing transaction monitoring to identify suspicious activity
• Prevention of manipulation, collusion, and other unfair behaviour
• User support on security, responsible gaming, and safety matters
• Shared responsibility between the platform and each account holder
• Equal conditions and consistent application of rules for all users
