WPT Global Account Review

Account Verification

Why is it necessary to verify the account? As an operator that complies with applicable laws and regulations, we need to verify the identity of players. Therefore, specific documents are required for the verification of player accounts.

What documents are required to verify the account?

To verify the account, valid identification documents such as ID cards, passports, driver’s licenses, utility bills, and deposit certificates are required. The provided documents should have clear photos where all four corners are visible. Utility bills for address verification should be within the last three months. Black and white copies or documents with missing information will not be accepted. Both the front and back of the card should be clearly captured in the photo. For more details, please contact customercare@wptglobal.com.

How long does the account verification process take?

We aim to complete the verification of player accounts as soon as possible, within 72 hours after all the necessary documents have been submitted in the correct format.

Online Poker: KYC Policy

As a licensed operator abiding by the law and applicable regulations, we are obliged to verify the identity of our players and prevent problem activity or fraud. This requires all players to provide some documentation when requested.

When is KYC required?

On deposit, this may be requested using a risk-based approach.
On withdrawal, full KYC (customer due diligence) will almost always be required.

What documents are needed to successfully verify a player?

There are three types of documentation that may be requested: proof of identity (POI), address (POD) and deposit (POD).

Further Information

WPT Global follows a risk-based approach and may perform checks at an earlier stage if this is deemed necessary.

All documentation is held electronically and confidentially against customers’ account details. Our fraud, risk and poker security departments have access to a variety of databases and reports which are used to review players.

All employees in customer-facing roles are familiar with the above policy and procedure and communicate any important information and address queries to the MLRO.
