Verification (KYC) is a one-time identity check most regulated betting platforms run before releasing withdrawals.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Identity document | Colour copy of your passport or a national ID card |
| Phone verification | Mandatory, confirmed during or shortly after registration |
| Proof of address (on request) | Driving licence copy or a recent utility bill |
KYC stands for "Know Your Customer": the identity check that confirms the person behind an account is who they say they are. On 1King, it's the step that unlocks withdrawals. It's worth completing early, rather than waiting until you actually want to cash out. This page covers exactly which documents we ask for, how phone and video verification fit in, and what happens if verification doesn't go through.
The core requirement is a single identity document, plus a couple of extras we may request depending on your situation. Having these ready before you start makes the whole process faster.
Most players only need to provide the passport or ID card upfront. The driving licence and utility bill come into play only if we ask for extra proof of address, on top of the primary document.
Confirming your phone number is a required part of setting up a 1King account. It happens during or shortly after registration, rather than as a separate later step. This confirms that the contact details tied to your account are genuinely yours, and it's a quick step compared to document review.
Instead of uploading documents, we also offer a video verification option: a direct conversation with a representative that confirms your identity in real time. This suits players who'd rather have a short conversation than scan and upload paperwork. It covers the same underlying purpose as the document-based route.
Either path — documents or a video call — gets you to the same result: a verified account that's cleared for withdrawals.
Verification isn't something you're forced to complete before you can play or deposit. But it becomes essential the moment you want to withdraw. Here's the general sequence most players follow:
Completing this earlier in that sequence, rather than only after you've decided to withdraw, keeps a first cash-out request from being delayed. That document review could have happened days or weeks earlier instead.
Verification isn't just a formality. It has real consequences if it isn't completed successfully. Bets and spins placed on an account can be voided if the identity check behind that account fails, and any deposits connected to it may be reversed. On top of that, the account itself can face restrictions.
This is exactly why we recommend treating verification as an early task, rather than something to deal with only when a withdrawal is already pending. A verified account from the start avoids any risk of voided activity later.
Playing on an account before verification is complete carries a degree of risk that simply isn't there once the check is done. Submitting your documents, or booking a video verification call, soon after registering removes that risk. It also means your first withdrawal request has one less thing standing in its way.
A colour copy of your passport (first two pages, plus a residency stamp if applicable), or a national ID card. A driving licence or utility bill is requested on top if needed.
Yes. Confirming your phone number is a required part of registration, and it happens during or shortly after you sign up.
Yes, through the video verification option. It involves a direct conversation with a representative instead of a document upload.
Bets or spins placed on the account can be voided, deposits may be reversed, and the account itself can be restricted.
As early as possible — ideally right after registering, so it's already complete by the time you want to make your first withdrawal.
