1w KYC & AML Policy

1w operates under strict legal obligations designed to uphold the integrity of its platform for all users in Ireland. The KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) framework applied by 1w serves to verify the identity of account holders, detect suspicious activity, and prevent financial crime. These measures are in place to protect users, safeguard funds, and ensure that the platform meets all applicable regulatory requirements.

Purpose of KYC & AML

1w applies KYC and AML procedures to confirm the identity of each account holder, prevent fraudulent conduct, and counter the use of the platform for financial crime. These obligations are fulfilled in the interest of user safety and full compliance with Irish and international regulatory standards.

  • Fair play is maintained across all gaming and betting activity
  • User safety is protected through thorough identity and account checks
  • Transparency is upheld in all financial and operational processes
  • Regulatory compliance is ensured in accordance with applicable legal requirements
  • Personal data is handled responsibly and in line with data protection obligations

KYC Requirements

Every new user registered on 1w is required to complete identity verification before accessing the full range of platform features. As part of the ID verification process, 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 issued within a recent period, such as a utility bill or bank statement
  • Confirmation of ownership of the payment method used for deposits or withdrawals
  • Additional document submission may be requested in circumstances that require enhanced due diligence

AML Measures

1w applies a comprehensive set of security measures to prevent money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and other forms of financial crime on its platform. The following controls are maintained on an ongoing basis:

  • Continuous transaction monitoring and review of account activity for irregular patterns
  • Automated detection rules that flag behaviour associated with financial risk
  • Enhanced due diligence procedures applied in high-risk circumstances
  • Manual review of large transfers or deposits and withdrawals that appear unusual
  • Risk scoring applied to accounts and transactions based on predefined criteria
  • Screening against sanctions lists and politically exposed persons (PEP) databases
  • Reporting obligations fulfilled by submitting relevant information to competent authorities where required by law

Prohibited Activities

Certain actions are strictly prohibited on 1w in order to support the integrity of KYC and AML procedures and protect the wider user base. The following activities are not permitted under any circumstances:

  • Operating multiple accounts or engaging in multi-accounting under any form
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents during the verification process
  • Attempting to conduct or facilitate money laundering through the platform
  • Manipulating platform systems, processes, or outcomes in any manner
  • Sharing, transferring, or selling access to a registered account
  • Using payment instruments that do not belong to the registered account holder
  • Providing false or misleading information in relation to personal identity or account details

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Any breach of KYC or AML obligations will result in enforcement action taken by 1w in accordance with its legal duties and internal policies. Depending on the nature of the violation, measures may include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or associated winnings, and reporting of the matter to competent regulatory or law enforcement authorities where applicable.

User Responsibilities

Each registered account holder is responsible for ensuring that all personal data provided to 1w is accurate, complete, and kept up to date at all times. Users are required to complete the verification process within the timeframe specified and to respond promptly to any request for additional documentation. Only payment methods registered in the name of the account holder may be used for transactions on the platform. Should a user become aware of any suspicious activity associated with their account or any other account, they are expected to report this to the platform without delay. Failure to meet these responsibilities may affect access to account features and may trigger a review under applicable regulatory requirements.

Fair Play and Transparency

1w is committed to maintaining fair play and transparency across its platform, ensuring that all users operate under equal and clearly defined conditions in a safe and regulated environment. The following principles guide this commitment:

  • Full compliance with KYC and AML standards as required under Irish and applicable international law
  • Responsible handling and protection of personal data in line with data protection regulations
  • Ongoing transaction monitoring and review to detect and address suspicious activity
  • Active prevention of manipulation, dishonest conduct, and unfair behaviour
  • Access to user support for any matter relating to account protection or platform safety
  • Shared responsibility between the platform and its users in maintaining a secure environment
  • Equal conditions applied to all users, without exception, in accordance with platform rules
