Providing proof of residence is a mandatory step to comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations. Betting platforms use this to confirm you are located in a state where they are legally licensed to operate.

To get approved, you’ll need to submit a clear photo or PDF of a document showing your full legal name and current address. The most common accepted documents in the US include:

  • Utility Bills: Water, gas, or electricity.
  • Financial Statements: Bank or credit card statements.
  • Service Bills: Landline or internet bills.

Mobile Tip: Most US sportsbooks prefer original PDFs from your service provider. If you take a photo of a paper bill, make sure all four corners are visible and the text is sharp. Documents must usually be issued within the last 3 to 6 months. Always use the secure upload tool in your account settings rather than emailing sensitive info.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What documents are accepted as proof of residence in the US?

Most legal sportsbooks accept utility bills (water, gas, electric), landline phone bills, or bank statements. The document must show your full name and address clearly.

Does the name on the bill have to match my ID?

Yes. The name on your proof of residence must exactly match the legal name you used during registration. If the bills are in someone else’s name, you may need to provide additional legal proof.

How old can my proof of residence document be?

To ensure the info is current, most platforms require documents issued within the last 90 to 180 days (3 to 6 months). Expired or older documents will be rejected.
