KYC and Verification

At Lolly Spins, our commitment to a safe, secure, and fair gaming environment is paramount. Verifying your identity is a crucial step in upholding this commitment. This process helps us comply with legal and regulatory obligations, prevent fraud, combat money laundering, and ensure that only eligible individuals participate in our games. By confirming your identity, we protect both our players and the integrity of our platform. It also allows us to process your transactions smoothly and efficiently, knowing that funds are going to and coming from the rightful account holder.

KYC, or "Know Your Customer," refers to the mandatory process of identifying and verifying the identity of our customers. This regulatory requirement is a cornerstone of financial compliance and anti-money laundering (AML) efforts across various industries, including online gaming. For Lolly Spins, KYC means we collect and verify specific personal information from you to confirm who you are. This process ensures we meet our legal duties and maintain a secure operating environment for everyone. It is not just about compliance, it is about building trust and safeguarding our community.

Verification is an ongoing process at Lolly Spins and may be triggered at several points during your interaction with our platform. Initially, we may request verification upon registration or when you attempt to make your first deposit or withdrawal. Subsequent verification checks can occur if there are significant changes to your account details, if your cumulative deposits or withdrawals reach certain thresholds, or if your activity on the site raises any security flags. We may also conduct periodic reviews to ensure the information we hold remains accurate and up to date. Our licensing authority mandates these checks to maintain a secure and compliant gaming environment.

To complete our KYC and verification procedures, we may request various documents. The specific documents needed will depend on the nature of the verification, the information we already hold, and the requirements of our regulatory framework. Generally, these fall into categories such as proof of identity, proof of address, and proof of payment method. We will always clearly communicate which documents are required and provide instructions on how to submit them securely. All submitted documents must be valid, legible, and current.

For proof of identity, we require a clear, full-colour copy of a government-issued identification document. This document must show your full name, date of birth, photograph, signature (if applicable), and an expiry date. The document must be valid and not expired. Acceptable forms of identification typically include:

• A valid passport (photo page)
• A valid national identity card (front and back)
• A valid driving licence (front and back)

The copy you provide must show all four corners of the document. We may also request a "selfie" of you holding the identification document to further confirm its authenticity and that it belongs to you.

To verify your residential address, we require a document that clearly shows your full name and current residential address. This document must be dated within the last three months. Examples of acceptable proof of address documents include:

• A utility bill (e.g., electricity, gas, water, internet, landline phone bill)
• A bank statement or credit card statement
• A government-issued letter or tax statement

Mobile phone bills are generally not accepted as proof of address. The document must be issued by an independent third party and clearly display the date of issue. Ensure all four corners of the document are visible in the copy you provide.

To verify the payment methods used on your Lolly Spins account, we may request specific documentation depending on the method. This step helps prevent unauthorised use of financial instruments and ensures funds are correctly attributed. Examples include:

• Credit/Debit Cards: A copy of the front and back of the card. For security, please obscure the middle eight digits of the card number on the front and the CVV/CVC code on the back. Your name, the first six and last four digits of the card number, and the expiry date must be clearly visible.
• Bank Transfers: A copy of a recent bank statement showing your name, account number, and the bank's logo. Transaction details can be redacted.
• E-Wallets (e.g., Neteller, Skrill): A screenshot of your e-wallet account page, clearly showing your name and the email address or account ID linked to your Lolly Spins account.

This verification ensures that the payment methods registered belong to the account holder.

In certain circumstances, particularly when large transactions or unusual activity occurs, Lolly Spins is legally obligated to conduct enhanced due diligence and request proof of your source of funds (SOF) or source of wealth (SOW). This is a regulatory requirement designed to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. We may ask for documents that demonstrate how you obtained the funds you are using to gamble. This could include:

• Bank statements showing the origin of funds
• Pay slips or employment contracts
• Tax returns
• Documents related to property sales, inheritance, or other significant financial events

We understand that providing such sensitive information can feel intrusive, but it is a necessary part of our compliance framework and our commitment to responsible gaming. All information provided for SOF/SOW checks is handled with the utmost confidentiality and security.

Once you submit your documents, our dedicated verification team will review them. We aim to process all verification requests as quickly as possible, typically within 24 to 48 hours. However, during peak times or if additional information is required, this timeframe may be extended. You will be notified via email or through your Lolly Spins account messages once your documents have been reviewed and your verification status updated. To expedite the process, please ensure all documents are clear, valid, and meet the specified requirements. Incomplete or unclear submissions will cause delays.

The security of your personal data and documents is a top priority for Lolly Spins. We employ advanced encryption technologies and strict data protection protocols to safeguard all information you provide. All documents are stored securely in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant data protection laws. Access to your documents is restricted to authorised personnel only, who are trained in data handling and privacy. We do not share your personal information with third parties except where legally required or necessary for the provision of our services, as outlined in our Privacy Policy. Your trust is essential to us.

Lolly Spins operates under stringent anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Our KYC and verification procedures are integral to our AML compliance framework. We are legally obliged to monitor transactions and report any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities. By verifying your identity and, when necessary, your source of funds, we contribute to global efforts to prevent financial crime. This commitment protects our platform from being used for illicit activities and helps maintain a legitimate and trustworthy gaming environment for all our players. Our compliance team regularly reviews our processes to ensure they meet the highest standards.

Protecting minors from gambling is a core principle at Lolly Spins. Our age verification process is designed to ensure that only individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age for gambling in their jurisdiction, can access and use our services. During registration, you must confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement. Our identity verification checks further confirm your age, and any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately closed, and any funds or winnings forfeited. We take this responsibility very seriously and actively promote responsible gambling practices.

If your verification is delayed, it may be due to the quality of the documents submitted, missing information, or a need for further clarification. We will contact you directly to explain the reason for the delay and guide you on what additional steps or documents are required. If verification is unsuccessful after multiple attempts, or if we cannot verify your identity to our satisfaction, your Lolly Spins account may be suspended or closed. This decision is made to comply with our regulatory obligations and ensure the security of our platform. We will always communicate the reasons for such actions and provide options for appeal where applicable.
