Legal Obligations
As a regulated operator, 1W is required by law to:

- Monitor transactions for signs of suspicious or unusual activity
- Report any suspected money laundering or terrorism financing to the relevant Irish authorities

All users must complete the KYC verification process. This includes:

- Additional documentation where the volume or nature of transactions warrants enhanced due diligence
KYC requirements may apply at registration or at any point during the account lifecycle, including prior to processing a withdrawal.

- Unusual deposit or withdrawal patterns
- Multiple transactions in a short period
- Discrepancies between declared income and betting volumes
- Use of multiple payment methods across a short timeframe
Suspicious Activity Detection
Where suspicious activity is identified, the operator is legally obligated to file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with the appropriate Irish authority. Users will not be notified when such a report is made, as disclosure may constitute a criminal offence under applicable legislation.
Consequences of Policy Violations
Users found to be in breach of AML policies may be subject to:
- Temporary or permanent account suspension
- Freezing of account funds pending investigation
- Withholding of any pending withdrawals
- Referral of the matter to law enforcement agencies
No funds will be released where there is reasonable suspicion of criminal activity until the matter has been fully resolved.

Security
The security of user accounts and personal data is a priority for 1W. The platform employs a range of technical and organisational measures to protect users in Ireland from unauthorised access, fraud, and data breaches.

- Never share your login details with any third party
- Log out of your account after each session, particularly on shared or public devices
- Report any suspected unauthorised access to customer support immediately
