KYC and AML Policy – Khelo24bet99.com
Objective of the AML Policy
Khelo24bet99 prioritizes the safety of its users and the integrity of its services. To ensure the authenticity of every Khelo24bet user account, we have implemented an identity verification procedure consisting of three separate steps. It is to ensure that the particulars of the customer truly represent him/her. Also, to make sure that the payment methods being utilized for processing deposits or withdrawals have not been misappropriated in a stolen or fraudulent manner. The whole system of identity verification can therefore nicely complement the prevention of money laundering.
In addition, things such as varying regulatory requirements, customer nationality, and source of funds may warrant variations in the approach to verification. Reasonable and appropriate measures are taken to mitigate, deter, and limit risks of unlawful financial activities.
Khelo24bet99.com is, therefore, an organization that uses stringent AML measures in conformity with European Union (EU) directives. Management and employees must comply with these standards and support the enforcement procedures to prevent the services from being abused by illegal financial activities.
Our AML Program complies with:
- EU Directive 2015/849 on the prevention of ML by the misuse of the economic system.
- EU Regulation 2015/847 on information accompanying fund transfers.
- EU sanctions and restrictive measures against certain persons, entities, goods, and technology.
- Belgian Law of 18 September 2017 on preventing ML and restricting cash use.
Definition of ML
ML in a broad sense means:
- ➢ Conversion or transfer of property, in particular funds, with the knowledge that it originates from some criminal activity, either to conceal its illegal source or to assist another to evade consequences.
- ➢ Concealment or disguise of the origin, ownership, movement, or rights associated with property known to come from unlawful activity.
- ➢ Acquisition, possession, or use of property with the knowledge of its illicit source at the time of receipt.
- ➢ Participation, facilitation, or attempts at committing any of the above activities.
ML applies even if the first crime, which is followed in the laundering process, occurred outside the jurisdiction of the European Union.
AML Organization
The AML Compliance Officer (AMLCO) shall supervise the enforcement of this policy. Under senior management authority, the AMLCO shall oversee and guide the procedures, implementations, and monitoring of compliance. Any major change in policy shall be approved by the AMLCO.
Three-Step Verification Process
Step 1 Verification
All customers must undergo this procedure before any withdrawal takes place. Basic identification information such as:
- Name and surname
- Date of birth
- Country of residence
- Sex
- Full address
Step 2 Verification
For deposits and/or withdrawals exceeding USD 2,000. Transactions are held up until completion of this step. The following must be submitted by the customers:
- A government-issued identification document
- A photo of an ID with a handwritten note, along with the system-generated code
- An electronic check of the information provided
If automated checks are not successful in confirming the first ID check, then other proof of residence, such as a government registration certificate, will be needed.
Step 3 Verification
For deposits or withdrawals above USD 5,000 or transfers over USD 3,000, the customer is required to provide a declaration of Source Of Wealth (SOW).
Customer Identification and Verification (KYC)
Verification of identity is paramount for both AML compliance and KYC standards. Customers are expected to furnish the following:
- A copy of their Identity documents, such as a passport, driving license, and/or national ID, exhibited alongside a handwritten verification code.
- An image of a facial type of photo of the customer with the Identity-related documents.
Personal details can be blurred for privacy with the exception of first name, last name, date of birth, gender, nationality, and photo.
Proof of Address
The address verification is by searching through the electronic database. If it is not possible to verify via electronic means, then the client will be asked to submit a utility bill, bank statement, or government-issued evidence of residence, recent (not more than 3 months), having a clear name and address.
Source of Wealth
The customer is to disclose sources of funds, where applicable, for transactions that exceed EUR 5,000. Some of the virtually acceptable sources are:

In the event the origin is questionable, then additional documentation may be requested. We reserve the right to place the account on hold until verification is completed.
