Verification (also called KYC, know your customer) is the identity check bookmakers run before or after you deposit. It decides how smoothly your first withdrawal goes.
How we test it
- We note when verification is asked for: at sign-up, at deposit or at withdrawal.
- We record which documents are requested and how they are submitted.
- We time how long approval takes and whether documents are rejected.
How it affects the score
Clear rules stated up front and quick approval score higher. Requests that only appear when you try to withdraw, or repeated requests for documents already sent, lower the score.
