Introduction to AML/CTF and KYC in Nigeria

KYC and AML procedures verify identity, deter fraud, and reduce the risk of financial crime in Nigeria. These measures strengthen account protection for every account holder.

• Fair play backed by consistent rules
• User safety through robust security measures
• Transparency on verification steps and reporting obligations
• Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements
• Responsible gaming support aligned to local standards

Every new user must complete ID verification before certain features, including withdrawals, become available. Document submission may be required to confirm age 18+ and residency.

• Government-issued photo identification
• Proof of residential address
• Confirmation that the payment method belongs to the account holder

BC Game maintains AML/CTF controls to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illegal activity as required in Nigeria. Processes follow a risk-based approach consistent with the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022 and guidance from the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and other competent regulators.

• Ongoing transaction monitoring for patterns and unusual behaviour
• Automated detection rules and alerts calibrated to risk
• Enhanced due diligence for high-risk profiles, events, or jurisdictions
• Review and verification of large or unusual deposits, transfers, and withdrawals
• Customer and product risk scoring that informs limits and escalation
• Sanctions and politically exposed person (PEP) screening against applicable lists, including UN designations
• Timely reporting of suspicious activity to the NFIU and other competent authorities, plus record keeping as required

Platform rules prohibit conduct that undermines KYC, AML, and account protection. Any attempt to bypass identity check or security measures is not allowed.

• Opening or using multiple accounts
• Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents
• Any laundering or terrorism financing attempt
• Manipulating systems, games, odds, or processes
• Sharing, selling, or otherwise transferring account access
• Using third-party cards, wallets, or bank accounts
• Misrepresenting identity or source of funds

Non-compliance or suspicious activity may lead to immediate enforcement in line with Nigeria’s laws and reporting obligations. Consequences are applied proportionately to risk and evidence.

Possible measures include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings, reporting to competent authorities where applicable.
