AML Policy

Purpose of this AML Policy

This AML Policy explains the financial-crime principles relevant to an information and affiliate website. It also explains the boundary between this website and external gambling operators.

22Bet Great Britain does not open player accounts, accept deposits, process withdrawals or verify identity documents. Those AML controls belong to the external operator after a user leaves this website.

Legal and regulatory framework

External operators may be subject to anti-money-laundering, counter-terrorist-financing, sanctions and gambling compliance rules. The exact requirements depend on the operator, licence, payment method and user location.

Users in Great Britain should check the operator terms and local rules before registering, depositing or accepting a bonus. This page is not legal advice.

Scope

The policy covers general AML concepts such as KYC, payment ownership, source of funds, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening and suspicious activity.

It does not replace the AML policy of any external operator and cannot be used to challenge an operator decision.

When KYC may be required

KYC may be required at registration, before a first withdrawal, after unusual activity, after payment changes, after large transactions or when account information is inconsistent.

An operator may pause withdrawals until the requested checks are completed. Users should plan for this before relying on a fast cash-out.

Documents that may be requested

External operators may request proof of identity, proof of address, payment ownership, bank statements, source-of-funds evidence or screenshots from payment wallets.

Documents should be genuine, current and submitted only through the operator’s official secure channels. This website does not collect or verify them.

Age verification

Age checks are part of both gambling compliance and AML control. Minors must not gamble or create betting accounts.

If an operator cannot verify age, it may restrict the account, cancel activity or refuse withdrawals until checks are complete.

Source of Funds and Source of Wealth

Source of Funds explains where the money used for gambling came from. Source of Wealth explains the broader origin of a user’s financial resources.

Operators may ask for evidence when deposits, withdrawals or play volume are high, unusual or inconsistent with the customer profile.

Payment method requirements

Users should normally deposit and withdraw using payment methods held in their own name. Third-party payments, mismatched names and unusual payment chains can create AML risk.

Some methods may require additional checks or may be unavailable for withdrawal depending on operator rules.

Transaction monitoring

Operators may monitor deposits, withdrawals, failed payments, chargebacks, rapid movement of funds, repeated small transactions, crypto activity and unusual bonus behaviour.

Monitoring can lead to document requests, payment delays, temporary restrictions or account review.

Prohibited activities

Prohibited activities may include using false identity, third-party payment instruments, stolen funds, chargeback abuse, multi-accounting, collusion or attempts to bypass restrictions.

Such behaviour can lead to account closure, confiscation under operator terms or reports to authorities where required.

Enhanced Due Diligence

Enhanced Due Diligence may apply where risk is higher, such as large transaction volume, complex payment routes, high-risk jurisdictions, crypto use or inconsistent information.

EDD can involve additional documents, longer review time and manual checks by the operator.

Politically exposed persons

Operators may apply additional checks to politically exposed persons, their close associates or family members.

The purpose is to reduce bribery, corruption and financial-crime risk, not to discriminate against lawful users.

Sanctions and restricted jurisdictions

Operators may screen customers against sanctions lists and restricted-country rules. Access can be refused or limited where sanctions or licence restrictions apply.

Users should not attempt to bypass country restrictions with false information, VPN misuse or another person’s account.

Suspicious activity

Suspicious activity can include inconsistent identity data, unusual payment movement, rapid deposit-withdrawal cycles, forged documents or behaviour suggesting money laundering.

An operator may pause transactions, request more information, close an account or report activity where required.

Account restrictions

During AML review, operators may restrict deposits, withdrawals, bonuses, gameplay or account access.

This website cannot remove those restrictions because it does not operate the account or hold user funds.

Withdrawal review

Withdrawals can be reviewed before release, especially where KYC is incomplete, payment ownership is unclear or transaction patterns are unusual.

Users should complete verification early and keep payment details consistent to reduce avoidable delays.

Cryptocurrency transactions

Crypto payments can be fast, but they may also trigger additional AML checks because wallet ownership and transaction history can require review.

Users should follow operator instructions carefully and use only official wallet addresses shown by the operator.

Bonus abuse and AML risk

Bonus abuse can overlap with AML and fraud risk when users create multiple accounts, recycle funds, coordinate activity or exploit identity differences.

Operators may void bonuses, restrict accounts or request additional checks if bonus activity looks suspicious.

Record keeping

Operators may keep KYC, payment and transaction records for legally required periods. This website keeps only limited website data as described in its Privacy Policy.

Users should keep copies of relevant payment confirmations and communication in case an operator review requires clarification.

Data protection and confidentiality

AML checks involve sensitive information. Operators should handle documents and payment data securely and only for appropriate purposes.

Users should never send identity documents through unofficial channels, social media messages or unverified email addresses.

Reporting suspicious activity

Where required, operators may report suspicious activity to competent authorities or financial intelligence units.

Users may not always be told the reason for a delay or restriction if legal tipping-off rules apply.

Player and operator duties

Users should provide accurate information, use their own payment methods and avoid attempts to bypass verification.

Operators should apply proportionate checks, explain document requests where possible and protect user data during AML review.

Changes and contact

This AML Policy may be updated when legal requirements, operator practices, payment methods or affiliate processes change.

Account-specific AML questions must be sent to the external operator. General questions about this information site can be sent to support@22bet.com.

Can this website approve my KYC? No. Only the external operator can review and approve documents.

Why can a withdrawal be delayed? KYC, payment ownership, source-of-funds checks or unusual activity can delay release.

Should I use someone else’s card or wallet? No. Use payment methods held in your own name.
