Account verification: documents and timelines

Everything you need to know about verifying your account and uploading documents.

Keeping your account verified helps us provide a safe, fair and secure betting experience.

Why we ask for verification

From time to time, we may need to verify a few details on your account.

This helps us protect you and make sure all activity on your account is genuine and responsible.

Verification can happen at different stages, but if we ever need anything from you, we’ll guide you through the process and make it as simple as possible.

Important: Your documents and personal details are always handled securely and kept strictly confidential.

What documents do I need for verification?

The documents we request depend on your country of residence and the type of verification required.

In most cases, this includes proof of identity, proof of address, or both.

ID and Proof of address

All documents submitted must meet the following requirements:

  • Must be valid, unaltered, and unredacted.

  • Must be current and not expired.

  • Must be issued by a reliable and independent source, such as a federal, provincial, territorial, or municipal government, Crown corporation, federally regulated financial institution, or utility provider.

  • Electronic scanned copies of documents are accepted.

  • Screenshots cannot be accepted.

  • Please upload clear images of the original document.

  • Documents used to verify identity and address must originate from different and independent sources.

Using a driving licence as proof of address

If you hold a valid driving licence, you can use it as proof of address (only if dated within 3 months).

If you use your driving licence for address verification, you’ll need to provide a different document for identity/age verification (for example, a passport).

How long does verification take?

Once your documents are uploaded, we review them as quickly as possible.

Typical timeframes

  • Most standard checks: within 24 hours

  • Additional checks: up to 72 hours

Important: Review times can vary depending on document type, image quality and whether extra checks are required.

What happens next?

  • We’ll email you as soon as verification is complete.

  • If we need more information, we’ll email you with clear next steps.

What happens if we can’t verify your account?

If we don’t receive the required details (or the document isn’t clear), your account may stay restricted while we complete the checks.

When an account is restricted, you won’t be able to:

  • Deposit

  • Withdraw

  • Place bets or wagers using bonus or real funds

Your account will remain restricted until we’ve verified both:

  • your identity, and

  • your proof of address

Timeframes and restrictions

  • Restrictions may apply until verification is completed

Note: These timeframes are indicative and may vary in some cases.

I have changed my name. What can I do?

If you have changed your name, please contact us so we can update your account details. To support this request, we may ask you to provide one of the following documents:

  • A marriage certificate or

  • A change of name deed (deed poll)

Once received and reviewed, we’ll update your account accordingly.

Alternative documents that may be requested

We may occasionally need to request documents while you hold an account with us.

We don’t always require all documents, and in some cases, none at all.

If information is needed, we’ll contact you by email.
