To fully verify your betting account and meet UK Gambling Commission regulations, you must provide documents that confirm your identity, address, and—in some cases—the source of your funds.

For the primary stage of Identity Verification, you must upload a clear scan or photo of a government-issued ID. The most common documents include:

  • A valid Passport
  • A full or provisional Driving Licence
  • A National Identity Card

Your ID must show your full name, date of birth, place of birth, and a clear photograph. If your ID does not show your current address, you will also need to provide Proof of Address issued within the last three months, such as a utility bill, bank statement, or official tax letter.

For higher-volume accounts, you may be asked for Source of Funds (SoF) documentation. This ensures your betting money comes from legitimate origins. Acceptable evidence includes recent payslips, three months of bank statements showing consistent income, tax returns, or proof of dividends and director remuneration. In some cases, proof of winnings from other betting companies or dated evidence of a specific legal award or payment may also be accepted.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a document that has expired to verify my identity?

No. All government-issued IDs, such as passports or driving licences, must be valid and current. Expired documents will be rejected by the compliance team immediately.

What counts as valid proof for a Source of Funds check?

You can provide recent payslips, tax returns, or bank statements from the last three months. The goal is to show a clear and legitimate origin for the money you are using to bet.

Will my marriage certificate be accepted for verification?

In specific circumstances, a marriage certificate can be used to help verify your residence or a change of name, provided it is submitted alongside other primary identification documents.
