KYC without surprises: the procedure, step by step

KYC (Know Your Customer) is the legally mandatory identity check at every licensed operator — not a casino invention to delay your withdrawal. Without it, withdrawals are blocked; done early, your first withdrawal clears as fast as ours did in testing.

The standard documents

  1. ID card — both sides, sharp photo, all corners visible.
  2. Payment method proof — the card used (first 6 + last 4 digits visible, rest covered) or a banking-app screenshot.
  3. Sometimes, proof of address — a utility bill or statement under 3 months old.

How long it really takes

In our 2026 tests: from 9 hours (Betano) to 21 (Frank), market average 14. Exact figures are in each test file.

Why it stalls

Cropped or blurry photos; name mismatches between account and card; registration data differing from the ID. Golden rule: complete KYC right after registration, before the first serious deposit — not on the day you want your money.

What the operator must never ask

Your card PIN, banking passwords, or CVV outside the secured payment form. Such requests signal fraud — re-check the domain you're on.
