Available Responsible Gambling Tools
The following tools are available to all registered users:

If you are concerned about your gambling habits, we encourage you to use the self-assessment tools available on the platform or through recognised external organisations. Ask yourself:
- Do you bet more than you can afford to lose?
- Do you chase losses by placing additional bets?
- Has gambling negatively affected your personal or professional relationships?

Anti-Money Laundering Policy
JB Casino operates in full compliance with Belgian anti-money laundering (AML) legislation, including the Law of 18 September 2017 on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing.

All users must complete identity verification in accordance with the platform’s Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures. This includes:
- Providing a valid government-issued identity document.
- Confirming residential address through supporting documentation.
- Verifying the source of funds where transaction volumes or amounts trigger enhanced due diligence thresholds.
Enhanced due diligence may be applied to accounts that present a higher risk profile, including politically exposed persons (PEPs) and users with complex fund structures.

All financial activity on the platform is subject to automated and manual monitoring. The following may trigger a review:
- Large or unusually frequent deposits or withdrawals.
- Deposits followed immediately by full withdrawal without material gambling activity.
- Multiple payment methods used in rapid succession.

- Reporting of the matter to the relevant Belgian authorities, including law enforcement and regulatory bodies.
- Permanent closure of the account with forfeiture of funds where unlawful activity is confirmed.
Users are reminded that cooperation with verification requests is a condition of continued access to the platform. Failure to comply with AML-related requests may result in account restrictions being applied without prior notice.
