Quick Answer

Operators may ask where your deposited money comes from, especially after large or unusual activity. Send documents that show the source, such as recent pay stubs, bank statements, tax returns or a sale agreement, with your name visible, and reply before the deadline.

A source of funds request is an anti-money-laundering check: the operator wants proof that the money you deposit comes from a legitimate source. It is usually triggered by large deposits, fast activity or unusual patterns, and it does not mean you did anything wrong.

Documents that usually work

  • Income: recent pay stubs or an employment letter.
  • Bank activity: statements that show where the funds came from, with your name visible.
  • Taxes: a recent tax return or tax form.

For one-off sources, a sale agreement, inheritance letter or investment statement can work, depending on the origin of the money. Your documents should cover the amounts in question, so if the request is about a large deposit, include the statement that shows the money arriving in your own account.

How to respond to a source of funds request

Read the request carefully, because it lists what is accepted and the deadline. Send complete, recent documents with your name visible, and ask support before you black out any lines. Upload through the secure account area, never by email, and reply before the deadline, because accounts can be restricted until the review ends. Operators may also ask for identity or payment proof, so keep those documents ready too. A request after a win or a big deposit is the same check applied to many accounts, not a judgment about you.

Keep things moving

Keep a folder with recent pay stubs, statements and tax forms so you can respond within a day. Name each file clearly and send everything in one message, which saves the reviewer from asking twice. If the deadline is too tight, say so in your reply and ask for more time instead of staying silent.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose access while the review runs?

Some operators limit deposits, bets or withdrawals until the review is complete. Ask support what is restricted, and reply quickly to shorten the restriction.

Why did I get this request?

Reviews are triggered by rules about amounts, patterns and risk, and they apply to many players. It is not an accusation, only a routine compliance step.

What if I cannot provide a document?

Explain in writing and offer an alternative, such as another statement or a letter. Support can tell you what else would satisfy the request, and ignoring it is the one choice that never helps.
