Betahoy KYC & AML Policy
Betahoy operates under a United Kingdom licence and is legally obligated to apply Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures across all user accounts. These measures exist to protect the integrity of the platform, uphold user safety, and prevent financial crime in accordance with UK regulatory requirements. Every account holder on Betahoy is subject to these obligations, which form a core part of the platform’s commitment to fair play and transparency.
Purpose of KYC & AML at Betahoy
Betahoy applies KYC and AML procedures to verify identity, prevent fraud, and counter financial crime in line with its regulatory requirements under United Kingdom law. These processes uphold the following guarantees for all users:
- Fair play across all games and sports betting activity;
- Protection of each account holder’s personal data and funds;
- Full transparency regarding identity verification and document submission processes;
- Continuous compliance with UK anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing legislation;
- A secure environment that safeguards every registered user equally.
KYC Requirements and ID Verification
Every new user registering on Betahoy must complete an identity check before being permitted to withdraw funds or access the full range of account features. The following categories of documentation may be requested during the ID verification process:
- A valid, government-issued photographic identity document (such as a passport, national identity card, or driving licence);
- Proof of residential address, issued within a specified recent period (such as a utility bill or official correspondence from a recognised institution);
- Confirmation of ownership of the payment method used to deposit or withdraw funds;
- Additional supporting documentation, where enhanced due diligence is required under applicable regulatory requirements.
AML Measures and Transaction Monitoring
Betahoy implements a comprehensive set of security measures designed to detect and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other forms of financial crime on the platform. The following controls are applied on an ongoing basis:
- Continuous transaction monitoring to identify patterns inconsistent with normal account activity;
- Automated detection systems that flag unusual or high-frequency activity for further review;
- Enhanced due diligence procedures applied to accounts presenting elevated risk indicators;
- Manual review of large deposits, withdrawals, or transfers that fall outside expected behaviour;
- Risk scoring assigned to accounts based on activity profiles, transaction history, and account holder characteristics;
- Screening against international sanctions lists and databases of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs);
- Reporting of suspicious activity to the relevant UK authorities, including the National Crime Agency (NCA), in accordance with reporting obligations under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
Prohibited Activities
Certain actions are strictly forbidden on the Betahoy platform in order to preserve the integrity of KYC and AML controls and to protect all users. The following activities are prohibited:
- Operating or attempting to operate multiple accounts under the same or different identities;
- Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents during the document submission or ID verification process;
- Conducting or attempting to conduct any transaction intended to launder funds or obscure their origin;

- Sharing, transferring, or selling account access to any third party;
- Using payment instruments belonging to another person to fund or withdraw from an account;
- Providing false or misleading personal data at any stage of the registration or verification process.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Any breach of Betahoy’s KYC or AML obligations will result in immediate enforcement action, proportionate to the nature and severity of the violation. Depending on the circumstances, measures 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 competent UK authorities where applicable.
User Responsibilities
Each account holder is responsible for ensuring that all personal information provided to Betahoy is accurate, complete, and kept up to date at all times. Users must complete the identity check and document submission process within the timeframes specified by the platform, as failure to do so may result in restricted account access. When additional documents are requested, users are expected to respond promptly and supply the required information without undue delay. All deposits and withdrawals must be made exclusively through payment methods owned by and registered to the account holder. Users who encounter or suspect any suspicious activity on their account are expected to report it to Betahoy’s customer support team immediately, in support of the platform’s ongoing compliance with its reporting obligations.
