🏛️ Governance & Accountability
AML/KYC responsibilities at Bet90Review are organized clearly so that each function understands its role:
- Senior Management – sets expectations from the top, approves this Policy, allocates resources, and reviews overall effectiveness.
- AML Compliance Officer (AMLCO) – designs and maintains controls, supervises monitoring, reviews alerts, escalates cases, and communicates with competent authorities where applicable.
- First Line (Operations & Support) – follows CDD/EDD procedures, applies payment rules, and flags unusual activity for review.
- Internal Audit / Independent Review – carries out periodic checks, tests controls, and recommends improvements where needed.
🛠️ Policy Maintenance & Change Control
- This AML/KYC Policy is reviewed at least once a year, or sooner if there are important regulatory or business changes.
- Material updates are supported by a documented risk impact assessment.
- Updates must be approved by Senior Management and the AMLCO.
- Previous versions are archived so that a clear and auditable history of changes is maintained.
🧩 Risk-Based Approach (RBA) & Enterprise-Wide Risk Assessment (EWRA)
Bet90Review uses a Risk-Based Approach (RBA)ers. An Enterprise-Wide Risk Assessment (EWRA) is completed at least annually to review the main risk areas, including:
- Products and services, such as premium content, subscriptions, or other paid features
- Delivery channels and payment methods
- User types and behavioral segments
- Geographic footprint and jurisdictional risk
- Transaction patterns, frequency, and value ranges
- Sanctions exposure, PEP risk, and high-risk sectors
- Emerging ML/TF typologies, including online and digital risks
The results of the EWRA help define thresholds, EDD triggers, rules, and monitoring frequency. They also guide how compliance resources are prioritized.
🪪 Tiered Customer Verification (KYC)
If Bet90Review offers payment-enabled features, user verification may follow a tiered structure. Certain actions, especially withdrawals or higher-risk activity, may be paused until the required verification tier is completed successfully.
Tier 1 – Basic Profile (required before any withdrawal)
- Full name, date of birth, gender, and nationality
- Country of usual residence and full residential address
- Automated database checks, including sanctions, watchlists, and PEP screening where applicable
- If automated or database checks are unavailable, incomplete, 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).
- A valid government-issued photo ID, photographed next to a random 6-digit code written by the user.
- A live selfie to confirm the biometric match with the ID document.
- If electronic verification is not possible or does not pass, a recent proof of address may be required, such as a utility bill, bank statement, or official letter issued within the last 3 months and showing the user’s full name and address.
- Documents must be clear, readable, and fully visible, including all four corners.
Tier 3 – Source of Funds / Source of Wealth (SoF/SoW)
Triggered when:
- Cumulative deposits or withdrawals reach 5,000 (USD/EUR or equivalent), or
- Peer-to-peer transfers reach 3,000, if such functionality exists.
Acceptable SoF/SoW evidence may include, without limitation:
- Employment income: recent payslips, employer or HR letters, and tax statements.
- Business ownership: audited accounts, tax filings, and corporate registry extracts.
- Investments: brokerage statements, dividend records, and proof of asset liquidation.
- Inheritance or gifts: probate documents, notarized deeds, and bank confirmations.
- Sale of assets: sale contracts, notarial records, and bank slips showing the proceeds.
🌍 Geographic Risk Categorization
Bet90Review assesses geographic risk by considering sanctions, AML/CFT effectiveness, and regulatory advisories:
- Low Risk: Standard thresholds apply as described in this Policy.
- Medium Risk: Lower thresholds may apply, for example Tier 2 at 1,000 and Tier 3 at 2,500, along with additional monitoring and restrictions on certain payment types such as crypto on/off-ramp activity via partners.
- High Risk: Services 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 a deposit should normally be used for a withdrawal, at least up to the deposited amount, to reduce money laundering risks.
- Third-party payment instruments are prohibited. The name on the payment method must match the verified user name.
- Deliberately splitting deposits or withdrawals to stay below verification thresholds may lead to EDD, transaction restrictions, or account closure.
🔎 Ongoing Monitoring & Three Lines of Control
First Line
Operations and support teams, together with payment partners, apply real-time controls during onboarding and at the point of transaction, based on PSP and banking AML standards.
Second Line
The AMLCO oversees rules-based monitoring and, where available, machine-assisted monitoring. Red flags may include:
- Rapid deposit and withdrawal cycles with little or no genuine platform activity
- Behavior that does not match the declared user profile, such as sudden large payments
- Frequent currency switching or unusual patterns through permitted channels
- Possible account takeover signs, device changes, or IP anomalies
- Counterparties or payment sources linked to higher-risk jurisdictions
Third Line
High-risk or suspicious users are subject to manual case reviewsby law, STR/SAR filings are submitted to the competent FIU.
📈 Control Thresholds at a Glance
| Control Layer | Trigger | Required Actions |
|---|---|---|
| CDD Tier 1 | Account creation / before first withdrawal | Profile data (KYC basics) + automated checks; proof of address where needed. |
| CDD Tier 2 | Deposit or withdrawal ≥ 2,000 (USD/EUR or equivalent) | Government ID + handwritten 6-digit code + selfie; proof of address if e-verification fails. |
| EDD Tier 3 | Deposit/withdrawal ≥ 5,000 or P2P transfers ≥ 3,000 | SoF/SoW evidence; enhanced screening; manual review and possible restrictions. |
| Monitoring | All customers | Rules + ML models where available; sanctions checks; case management & STR/SAR where applicable. |
🚨 Detection, Escalation, and STR/SAR
- Staff must promptly escalate atypical or suspicious activity to the AML function through secure internal channels.
- The AML team reviews alerts, documents the reasoning, and decides whether an STR/SAR is required.
- “Tipping-off” is strictly prohibited; users will not be told about STR/SAR submissions where the law prevents such disclosure.
🧰 Procedures & Playbooks
Operational playbooks turn this Policy into practical 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 that balance transparency with AML obligations
As an added safeguard, first withdrawals may require meaningful transactional activity, for example at least 70% of deposited funds being used in a genuine, non-circular way, to discourage simple pass-through flows.
🧾 Record-Keeping
- KYC records are kept for at least 10 years after the business relationship ends, or longer where the law requires it.
- Transaction records are kept for at least 10 years after execution or termination, whichever occurs later.
- Records are stored securely with encryption at rest and in transit, supported by online and offline safeguards, and access is strictly role-based.
🧑🏫 Training & Awareness
- Mandatory AML/KYC induction training is provided to new hires whose roles involve financial data or user data.
- Periodic refresher training is provided for finance, risk, operations, and support teams.
- Case-based learning covers typologies such as smurfing, mule accounts, synthetic identities, and crypto on/off-ramp risks where relevant.
- Training effectiveness is tracked through KPIs, quality checks, and audit findings.
🧪 Internal Audit & Continuous Improvement
Internal or independent audits periodically review:
- The design and effectiveness of AML controls
- The quality and completeness of KYC and transaction records
- The speed and quality of case handling and escalations
Metrics such as false-positive ratios, case turnaround time, and post-investigation outcomes are used to support continuous improvement plans.
🧱 Data Protection & Privacy 🔐
- Bet90Review collects the minimum data necessary for lawful AML/KYC purposes and for providing its services. Data is not sold to third parties.
