In Canada, this is a legal requirement overseen by provincial regulators, such as <strong>iGaming Ontario (iGO)<\/strong>, to prevent fraud, underage gambling, and money laundering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To successfully verify your account, you will generally need to provide two types of documents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Proof of Identity:<\/strong> You must upload a clear, colour photo of a government-issued ID. The most commonly accepted forms are a <strong>provincial driver\u2019s licence<\/strong>, a <strong>Canadian passport<\/strong>, or a <strong>provincial photo identity card<\/strong> (like the Ontario Photo Card). Ensure you capture both the front and back of the document. The image must be unedited and clearly show your name, photo, date of birth, and expiry date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proof of Payment:<\/strong> If you use a credit or debit card, the sportsbook may ask for a photo of the card. For your security, you must <strong>mask the middle digits<\/strong> (leave only the first six and last four visible) and cover the <strong>CVV code<\/strong> on the back. For <strong>Interac e-Transfer<\/strong> or direct bank transfers, a screenshot of your online banking profile showing your name and the account number is usually sufficient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always use the betting site&#8217;s <strong>secure upload tool<\/strong> located in your account settings. This internal portal is encrypted to protect your sensitive data. Avoid sending these documents via standard email, as it is less secure and may delay the verification process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"faq-section\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-title\"><span>\u2753<\/span> Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n    \n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>Can I use an expired driver&#8217;s licence for verification?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            No. Canadian regulators require all identity documents to be <strong>valid and current<\/strong>. If your licence or passport has expired, the automated and manual verification systems will reject it immediately.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>Is it safe to send a photo of my credit card to a sportsbook?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            It is safe as long as you follow security protocols. You must <strong>mask the middle digits<\/strong> of the long card number and the <strong>three-digit CVV code<\/strong> on the back before uploading the image to the secure portal.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>What if my ID doesn&#8217;t have my current address?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            If your provincial ID shows an old address, you will need to provide a secondary <strong>proof of residence<\/strong>, such as a utility bill or bank statement issued in the last 3 months, to confirm your current location.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn which IDs and address documents you need to verify your Canadian betting account and
