Linebet KYC & AML Policy

Linebet operates under a licensing framework that requires strict adherence to Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) standards for all users in Nigeria. These policies are designed to verify the identity of every account holder, prevent fraudulent activity, and ensure the platform is not used for financial crime or the financing of terrorism. Compliance with these obligations protects both the platform and the users who engage with it.

Purpose of KYC & AML

Linebet applies KYC and AML procedures to confirm the identity of each account holder, detect potential fraud, and uphold the integrity of financial transactions on the platform. These measures are part of the platform’s broader commitment to regulatory requirements and responsible gaming.

The following guarantees are upheld as a direct result of these procedures:

  • Fair play for all registered users across every game and betting market
  • User safety through verified account access and account protection mechanisms
  • Full transparency in how personal data is collected, processed, and used
  • Ongoing compliance with applicable Nigerian regulatory requirements and international AML standards

KYC Requirements

Every new user is required to complete ID verification before withdrawals can be processed or certain account features can be accessed. Document submission may be requested at registration, during a withdrawal request, or at any point deemed necessary by the compliance team.

The following categories of documents may be requested:

  • A government-issued photo ID such as a national identity card, international passport, or driver’s licence, used for identity check purposes
  • Proof of residential address, such as a recent utility bill or bank statement dated within the last three months
  • Confirmation of payment method ownership, including documentation that links the account holder to the payment instrument in use

AML Measures

Linebet implements a range of security measures to prevent money laundering, counter the financing of terrorism, and detect any illegal financial activity on the platform. These controls are applied consistently across all user accounts and transaction types.

The platform’s AML framework includes the following controls:

  • Ongoing transaction monitoring to identify irregular patterns or unusual account behaviour
  • Automated detection rules that flag suspicious activity for manual review
  • Enhanced due diligence applied to accounts associated with high-risk activity or elevated transaction volumes
  • Detailed reviews of large transfers or deposits that fall outside expected user behaviour
  • Risk scoring assigned to user accounts based on activity, geography, and transaction history
  • Screening of users against sanctions lists and Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) databases
  • Reporting obligations fulfilled by disclosing confirmed suspicious activity to the relevant Nigerian regulatory and law enforcement authorities

Prohibited Activities

Certain actions are strictly prohibited on the platform in order to maintain the integrity of KYC and AML compliance. Any attempt to circumvent these controls will be treated as a serious violation.

The following activities are not permitted:

  • Operating multiple accounts under different identities (multi-accounting)
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents during identity check or document submission processes
  • Using the platform for any form of money laundering or layering of funds derived from illegal sources
  • Manipulating games, betting markets, or platform systems to obtain an unfair advantage
  • Sharing, transferring, or selling account access to any third party
  • Making deposits or withdrawals using payment instruments that do not belong to the registered account holder
  • Providing false or misleading personal data at any stage of registration or verification

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Any breach of KYC or AML obligations will result in immediate enforcement action, regardless of the nature or scale of the violation. Measures that may be applied include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings obtained in connection with a violation, and reporting to competent Nigerian authorities where applicable.

User Responsibilities

Every account holder is responsible for ensuring that all personal data provided to the platform is accurate, complete, and kept up to date at all times. Users must complete the ID verification process within the timeframe specified by the platform and respond promptly to any request for additional documents or clarification. All deposits and withdrawals must be made exclusively through payment methods that belong to the registered account holder, and the use of third-party payment instruments is not permitted under any circumstances. Users who become aware of any suspicious activity connected to their account or the platform are expected to report it to the platform’s compliance team without delay. Failure to meet these responsibilities may result in restrictions being placed on the account.

Fair Play and Transparency

Linebet is committed to upholding fair play and full transparency across all aspects of its operations, ensuring a safe and trustworthy environment for every user in Nigeria. These commitments are embedded in the platform’s day-to-day compliance practices and governance standards.

The following principles guide the platform’s approach:

  • Strict compliance with applicable KYC and AML standards as set out by Nigerian regulatory requirements
  • Confidentiality and responsible handling of personal data in line with data protection obligations
  • Continuous transaction monitoring to identify and address suspicious activity before it causes harm
  • Active prevention of manipulation, collusion, and any form of unfair behaviour on the platform
  • Dedicated user support to assist account holders with safety-related concerns and verification queries
  • Shared responsibility between the platform and its users in maintaining a secure gaming environment
  • Equal conditions applied to all users, ensuring no account receives preferential treatment in compliance matters
