    property known or suspected to be derived from criminal activity, or assisting persons involved in such activity
    to evade legal consequences.
  • Customer Due Diligence (CDD / KYC): Identifying and verifying customers, understanding the

  • Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD): Additional checks for high-risk customers, jurisdictions,
    products, channels, or behaviors.
  • Source of Funds (SoF) / Source of Wealth (SoW): Evidence explaining the origin and legitimacy
    of deposited funds and a user’s overall wealth.
  • Suspicious Transaction/Activity Report (STR/SAR): A formal report submitted to a
    Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) when ML/TF is suspected.

🏛️ Governance & Accountability

AML/KYC responsibilities at Bet90Review are structured as follows:

  • Senior Management – sets the tone from the top, approves this Policy, allocates resources,
    and oversees effectiveness.
  • AML Compliance Officer (AMLCO) – designs and maintains controls, supervises monitoring,
    investigates alerts, escalates cases, and liaises with competent authorities where applicable.
  • First Line (Operations & Support) – executes CDD/EDD procedures, enforces payment rules,
    and flags anomalies.
  • Internal Audit / Independent Review – performs periodic checks, tests controls, and provides
    recommendations for continuous improvement.

🛠️ Policy Maintenance & Change Control

  • This AML/KYC Policy is reviewed at least annually or when material regulatory or business changes occur.
  • Material updates undergo a documented risk impact assessment.
  • Updates must be approved by Senior Management and the AMLCO.
  • Previous versions are archived to preserve an auditable history of changes.

🧩 Risk-Based Approach (RBA) & Enterprise-Wide Risk Assessment (EWRA)

Bet90Review applies a Risk-Based Approach (RBA)r> Enterprise-Wide Risk Assessment (EWRA) is conducted at least annually to evaluate inherent risks across:

  • Products and services (e.g., premium content, subscriptions, or other paid features)
  • Delivery channels and payment methods
  • User types and behavioral segments
  • Geographical footprint and jurisdictional risk
  • Transactional patterns and value ranges
  • Sanctions exposure, PEP risk, and high-risk sectors
  • Emerging ML/TF typologies, including online and digital risks

EWRA outcomes define thresholds, EDD triggers, rules, and monitoring frequency, and guide
resource allocation for compliance functions.


🪪 Tiered Customer Verification (KYC)

Where Bet90Review offers payment-enabled features, user verification follows a tiered structure.
Certain actions (especially withdrawals or higher-risk operations) may be paused until the required tier is
successfully completed.

Tier 1 – Basic Profile (required before any withdrawal)

  • Full name, date of birth, gender, nationality
  • Country of usual residence and full residential address
  • Automated database checks (sanctions, watchlists, PEP, where applicable)
  • If automated or database checks are unavailable or show mismatches, a basic proof of address
    may be requested.

Tier 2 – Advanced ID Verification

Triggered when cumulative deposits or withdrawals reach
2,000 (USD/EUR or equivalent).

  • Valid government-issued photo ID, photographed next to a random 6-digit code written by the user.
  • A live selfie to verify biometric match with the ID.
  • If e-verification is not possible or fails, a recent proof of address (utility bill,
    bank statement, or official letter issued within the last 3 months) showing full name and address is required.
  • Documents must be fully visible (all four corners) and readable.

Tier 3 – Source of Funds / Source of Wealth (SoF/SoW)

Triggered when:

  • Cumulative deposits/withdrawals reach 5,000 (USD/EUR or equivalent), or
  • Peer-to-peer transfers reach 3,000 (if such functionality exists).

Acceptable SoF/SoW evidence includes (non-exhaustive):

  • Employment income: recent payslips, employer/HR letters, tax statements.
  • Business ownership: audited accounts, tax filings, corporate registry extracts.
  • Investments: brokerage statements, dividend records, proof of asset liquidation.
  • Inheritance or gifts: probate documents, notarized deeds, bank confirmations.
  • Sale of assets: contracts of sale, notarial records, bank slips showing proceeds.

🌍 Geographic Risk Categorization

Bet90Review considers geographic risk based on sanctions, AML/CFT effectiveness, and regulatory advisories:

  • Low Risk: Standard thresholds as described above.
  • Medium Risk: Lower thresholds (e.g., Tier 2 at 1,000; Tier 3 at 2,500);
    additional monitoring and restrictions on certain payment types (e.g., crypto on/off-ramp via partners).
  • High Risk: Service may be restricted or prohibited. Jurisdiction lists are reviewed against
    sanctions lists and regulatory advisories from relevant authorities.

💳 Payment Method Controls

  • The same method used for deposit should be used for withdrawal at least up to
    the deposited amount, to reduce ML risks.
  • Third-party payment instruments are prohibited. The name on the payment method must match the
    verified user name.
  • Intentional structuring of deposits/withdrawals to stay below verification thresholds may trigger EDD,
    restrictions, or account closure.

🔎 Ongoing Monitoring & Three Lines of Control

First Line

Operations and support teams, together with our payment partners, apply real-time controls during
onboarding and at transaction time, based on PSP and banking AML standards.

Second Line

The AMLCO oversees rules-based and, where available, machine-assisted monitoring. Red flags may include:

  • Rapid deposit and withdrawal cycles with minimal genuine platform usage
  • Behavior inconsistent with declared profile (e.g., sudden large payments)
  • Frequent currency switching or unusual patterns via allowed channels
  • Account takeover indicators, device changes, IP anomalies
  • Counterparties or payment sources from high-risk jurisdictions

Third Line

High-risk or suspicious users are subjected to manual case reviewsby law,
STR/SAR filings are submitted to the competent FIU.

MonitoringAll customersRules + ML models (where available); sanctions checks; case management & STR/SAR as applicable.

🚨 Detection, Escalation, and STR/SAR

  • Staff must promptly escalate atypical or suspicious activity to the AML function via secure
    internal channels.
  • The AML team evaluates alerts, documents the rationale, and determines whether an STR/SAR is required.
  • “Tipping-off” is strictly prohibited; users will not be informed of STR/SAR submissions where
    law prevents such disclosure.

🧰 Procedures & Playbooks

Operational playbooks translate this Policy into step-by-step procedures, covering:

  • Minimum CDD standards for onboarding
  • Sanctions and watchlist screening workflows
  • EDD triggers, case escalation, and decision-making
  • Rules for account restrictions, blocks, or closure
  • Communication templates balancing transparency and AML obligations

As an additional safeguard, first withdrawals may require meaningful transactional activity
(e.g., at least 70% of deposited funds used in a genuine, non-circular way), to deter pure pass-through flows.


🧾 Record-Keeping

  • KYC records are retained for at least 10 years after the business relationship ends,
    or longer where legally required.
  • Transaction records are retained for at least 10 years after execution or termination,
    whichever is later.
  • Records are stored securely with encryption at rest and in transit, using both online
    and offline safeguards, and access is strictly role-based.

🧑‍🏫 Training & Awareness

  • Mandatory AML/KYC induction training is provided to all new hires whose roles touch financial or user data.
  • Periodic refresher training is provided for finance, risk, operations, and support teams.
  • Case-based learning addresses typologies such as smurfing, mule accounts, synthetic identities,
    and crypto on/off-ramp risks (where relevant).
  • Training effectiveness is monitored through KPIs, quality checks, and audit findings.

🧪 Internal Audit & Continuous Improvement

Internal or independent audits periodically review:

  • Design and effectiveness of AML controls
  • Data quality and completeness of KYC and transaction records
  • Timeliness and quality of case handling and escalations

Metrics such as false-positive ratios, case turnaround time, and post-investigation outcomes
are used to drive continuous improvement plans.


🧱 Data Protection & Privacy 🔐

  • Bet90Review collects the minimum data necessary for lawful AML/KYC purposes and for
    providing its services. Data are not sold to third parties.
  • Information may be shared only when required by law, by court order, or for the prevention/detection of
    financial crime with appropriate safeguards.
  • We respect data subject rights under applicable privacy laws, including rights of access, rectification,
    restriction, and objection, subject to AML retention obligations.

🚫 Zero-Tolerance for Violations

  • Accounts linked to forged documents, stolen payment instruments, account takeover, or unjustified flows
    may be restricted, frozen, or terminated.
  • Confirmed ML/TF or fraud activity is reported to competent authorities without prior user notice,
    where permitted or required by law.
  • Failure to cooperate with AML/KYC requests may result in delayed withdrawals, rejected transactions,
    or account restrictions.
