Know Your Customer (KYC) Policy
Vegastars runs a KYC process for one straightforward reason: to keep the platform honest. That means verifying who's playing, where they're playing from, and that everything above board. It's standard practice across regulated gaming, and this is how it works here.
Why KYC Exists
The checks are there to stop fraud before it starts, confirm that players are who they say they are, and meet the legal requirements around money laundering and underage gambling. Winnings need to go to the right people. That takes verification.
How Risk is Assessed
Vegastars uses a tiered due diligence system based on transaction type and customer profile:
- SDD (Simplified Due Diligence): Applied to low-risk transactions below standard thresholds.
- CDD (Customer Due Diligence): The default check for most accounts and transactions.
- EDD (Enhanced Due Diligence): Reserved for high-risk profiles, large transactions, or cases flagged for closer review.
What Gets Collected
Personal details: full legal name, date of birth, residential address, nationality.
Contact details: a working phone number.
ID documents: a government-issued photo ID, such as a passport, driver's license, or national ID card. Plus proof of address, which can be a utility bill, bank statement, or similar official document dated within the last six months.
Payment information varies by method: bank details for transfers, card information for credit or debit transactions, account details for e-wallets like Skrill or Neteller, and relevant account info for vouchers or cryptocurrency.
If the standard documents aren't enough, additional verification may be requested. That could include a second form of government ID, a photo of the user holding their ID, or biometric face verification.
Why Documents Get Rejected
A few common reasons: names or addresses that don't match account details, images that are blurry, cropped, or damaged, black and white scans, or documents that don't clearly show all four corners. Readable and complete, that's the standard.
What the Data is Used For
Identity verification, account security, regulatory compliance with AML and CTF obligations, and keeping the platform running cleanly. The data isn't sold or shared with third parties outside of regulatory authorities, payment processors, and service providers operating under confidentiality agreements.
If a player's data is processed across borders, Vegastars handles those transfers in line with applicable data protection regulations.
Player Rights and Responsibilities
Players can request access to their data, ask for corrections, or under the right circumstances, request deletion. Consent for data processing can also be withdrawn, subject to any legal obligations that remain in place.
On the flip side: keep account details accurate, update anything that changes, and don't share login credentials.
The Verification Process
Register an account, upload clear copies of the required documents, and wait for the review. Once everything checks out, the account is fully activated.
The casino reserves the right to request documentation at any point and may restrict access, payments, or withdrawals until verification is complete.
