Why identity checks and AML standards apply in Belgium

JB Casino maintains a risk-based Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) programme aligned with Belgian law and European frameworks. These rules support identity check, prevent misuse of gambling services, and strengthen transparency for users in Belgium. Supervision includes the Belgian Gaming Commission and the Belgian Financial Intelligence Processing Unit (CTIF-CFI).

Purpose and guarantees for users under KYC/AML

To protect the community, JB Casino applies KYC and AML controls to verify identity, deter fraud, and combat terrorist financing. These measures also uphold regulatory requirements for online casino and sportsbook services in Belgium.

  • Fair play and equal treatment
  • User safety and account protection
  • Transparency about verification and reporting obligations
  • Compliance with Belgian and EU regulatory requirements
  • Security measures proportionate to identified risks

ID verification and document submission requirements

Every new account holder must complete ID verification before full access is granted. Document submission may be required at registration or later to maintain accurate and current records.

  • Government-issued photo ID for age and identity check (21+ for casino games, 18+ for sports betting in Belgium)
  • Proof of residential address issued recently
  • Confirmation of ownership of the payment method used for deposits and withdrawals
  • Source of funds or wealth evidence where required by law

AML security measures and transaction monitoring

Controls are implemented to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illegal activity. Monitoring tools and trained staff assess transactions and behaviour throughout the customer relationship.

  • Continuous transaction monitoring and activity review
  • Automated detection rules and alerts for unusual patterns
  • Risk scoring of accounts and events based on internal criteria
  • Enhanced due diligence for higher-risk profiles or triggers
  • Manual review of large, complex, or unusual transfers
  • Sanctions and PEP screening against EU, UN, and Belgian lists
  • Reporting obligations to CTIF-CFI and the Belgian Gaming Commission when required, plus record-keeping for 10 years as mandated by law

Activities not permitted to support compliance

Certain conduct is restricted to support AML, CTF, and KYC compliance. Accounts may be limited or closed where prohibited actions are detected.

  • Creating or using multiple accounts
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents
  • Attempts to launder funds or disguise their origin
  • Manipulating systems or markets to undermine fair play
  • Sharing, selling, or otherwise transferring account access
  • Funding or cashing out using third-party payment instruments
  • Misrepresenting identity or acting on behalf of another person

Consequences for non-compliance and breaches

Non-compliance with regulatory requirements or this policy leads to enforcement in line with Belgian law. Proportionate measures are applied based on risk and evidence.

Possible outcomes 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.

Responsibilities of the account holder

Each account holder must provide accurate and up-to-date personal data and complete ID verification promptly. Requested information and any additional document submission must be provided within reasonable timeframes. Only payment methods owned by the user may be used for deposits and withdrawals. Any suspicious activity observed in the account or elsewhere on the platform should be reported to support without delay. Users are encouraged to apply security measures such as strong passwords and two-factor authentication to enhance account protection and support responsible gaming.

Commitment to fair play and transparency

The platform promotes fair play and transparency so that users in Belgium can engage in a safe and compliant environment. These principles guide daily operations and interactions.

  • Adherence to KYC/AML standards and Belgian regulatory requirements
  • Confidential handling and protection of personal data under GDPR and AML law
  • Ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity and timely escalation
  • Prevention of manipulation, collusion, and other unfair behaviour
  • Clear information and user support on safety, verification, and reporting obligations
  • Shared responsibility between the operator and each user
  • Equal conditions and impartial rules for all users
