1W KYC & AML Policy

1W operates under a strict framework of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations designed to protect account holders and uphold the integrity of the platform. These measures are a legal requirement for all licensed operators in Ireland and form a core part of responsible gaming practice. The aim is to maintain a secure, fair, and transparent environment for every registered user.

Purpose of KYC & AML

1W applies KYC and AML procedures to verify the identity of each account holder, prevent fraud, and meet all applicable regulatory requirements in Ireland. These processes exist to safeguard users and ensure the platform operates in full accordance with the law.

  • Fair play is preserved for all users on the platform
  • User safety is maintained through continuous security measures
  • Transparency in account management and financial activity is upheld
  • Regulatory compliance with Irish and international standards is met at all times

KYC Requirements

Every new user is required to complete a full ID verification process before accessing certain platform features or initiating withdrawals. As part of document submission, the following categories of documentation may be requested:

  • A valid government-issued photo ID, such as a passport, national identity card, or driving licence
  • Proof of address, such as a recent utility bill or official bank statement dated within the last three months
  • Confirmation of ownership of the payment method used to deposit or withdraw funds

AML Measures

1W has implemented a comprehensive set of controls to prevent money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and any other form of financial crime on the platform. These security measures are applied consistently across all accounts and transactions.

  • Ongoing transaction monitoring to detect irregular patterns or inconsistencies in account behaviour
  • Automated detection systems that flag suspicious activity in real time
  • Enhanced due diligence applied to accounts identified as high-risk or subject to elevated scrutiny
  • Manual review of large or unusual transfers that fall outside expected usage patterns
  • Risk scoring applied to user profiles based on account history and transaction data
  • Screening of accounts against international sanctions lists and Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) databases
  • Reporting obligations fulfilled by notifying the relevant competent authorities where required under Irish law

Prohibited Activities

Certain actions are strictly prohibited on the platform in order to support the integrity of KYC and AML compliance. Any user found to be engaging in the following conduct will be subject to immediate enforcement action:

  • Operating multiple accounts under the same or different identities
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documentation during identity verification
  • Attempting to use the platform as a vehicle for money laundering or channelling illicit funds
  • Manipulating platform systems, games, or transaction processes in any way
  • Sharing, transferring, or selling account access to any third party
  • Making use of payment instruments belonging to another person
  • Providing false or misleading personal data at any stage of the registration or verification process

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Any breach of KYC or AML obligations will result in enforcement measures being applied without prior notice. Depending on the nature and severity of the violation, consequences may include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings derived from non-compliant conduct, and reporting to the relevant competent authorities where applicable under Irish law.

User Responsibilities

Every account holder is required to provide accurate and complete personal data at the point of registration and to keep that information up to date at all times. Users must complete the ID verification process promptly when requested and respond to any follow-up requests for additional documentation without undue delay. Only payment methods that are registered in the user’s own name may be used for deposits and withdrawals. If a user becomes aware of any suspicious activity associated with their account or notices an unauthorised transaction, this must be reported to the platform immediately. Failure to meet these responsibilities may result in restrictions being placed on the account.

Fair Play and Transparency

1W is committed to upholding fair play and transparency across all aspects of platform operations, ensuring that every user can engage in a safe and regulated environment. The following principles guide the platform’s approach to responsible gaming and compliance:

  • Full compliance with applicable KYC and AML standards as required under Irish regulatory frameworks
  • Strict confidentiality and protection of personal data in accordance with data protection legislation
  • Continuous monitoring of account activity to identify and address suspicious activity
  • Active prevention of manipulation, collusion, and any form of unfair behaviour
  • Dedicated user support on matters relating to account protection and platform safety
  • Shared responsibility between the platform and its users to maintain a secure environment
  • Equal application of rules and conditions to all registered users without exception
