Why do I have to verify my account?

Under the UKGC, we are licence-bound to verify your account. This process is done to secure your funds safely, make sure that all deposits you have made are from legitimate sources and ensure your funds are being sent to you, and only you.

Going through this process can aid in cases such as if your payment information was used without permission or your knowledge and funds were transferred, we would be able to identify and stop these situations as soon as possible.

We will ask you, via chat or email, to upload certain documents using our encrypted and safe third-party document tool, where it will undergo various automatic and manual checks to ensure legitimacy before we accept or deny the upload.

 

When will I need to verify my account?

At BetMGM, we're committed to providing a safe and responsible gaming environment. A big part of this is knowing our players are of legal gambling age and are who they say they are. That's where account verification comes in.

Here are the most common scenarios when you'll be asked to verify your BetMGM account:

1. Upon Reaching a Specific Deposit or Withdrawal Threshold:

To comply with anti-money laundering regulations, we are required to verify your identity before processing significant transactions. This typically occurs when your cumulative deposits or withdrawals reach a certain amount. Don't worry; we'll notify you when you approach this limit.

2. When You Request a Larger Withdrawal:

If you request a withdrawal exceeding our standard limits, we might ask for additional verification documents. This helps us ensure the security of your funds and comply with financial regulations.

3. During Random Security Checks:

To maintain the integrity of our platform, we conduct random security checks on accounts. This helps prevent fraud and protects all our players. If your account is selected for a random check, we'll reach out to you with instructions on how to proceed.

4. If We Suspect Suspicious Activity:

While rare, if we notice any unusual or potentially fraudulent activity on your account, we might temporarily restrict it and request verification documents. This is done solely to protect you and your funds.
