Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedures
LalaBet is required by international and local regulations to implement effective internal procedures and mechanisms to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, human and drug trafficking, corruption, bribery and other financial crimes. Any suspicious activity must be dealt with immediately.
Verification Procedures
A key international standard for the prevention of illegal activities is Customer Due Diligence. In compliance with KYC regulations, LalaBet has established verification procedures under the AML and KYC frameworks.
Identity Verification
Users must provide reliable and verifiable identification documents:
- National ID or international passport;
- High-quality photo or selfie;
- Driver’s license;
- Bank statement or utility bill.
LalaBet verifies the authenticity of submitted documents using legitimate methods and reserves the right to verify users who are considered high risk or suspicious. Identity verification may be performed on an ongoing basis, especially if the user demonstrates unusual activity. In addition, LalaBet may request updated documentation even if the user has been previously verified.
All user information is collected, stored, transmitted and protected in accordance with LalaBet’s privacy policy and European Data Protection Regulations. After verification, LalaBet limits its liability in cases where its services are misused for illegal activities.
KYC Requirements
Users must complete the KYC process after registering their account and in the following cases:
- Before making their first withdrawal, regardless of the amount;
- Upon depositing 2,000 EUR/AUD/NZD/CAD or its equivalent in virtual currency;
- When total monthly deposits exceed 7,500 EUR/AUD/NZD/CAD.
During the KYC process, users are required to provide:
- Full name;
- Country of residence.
The Compliance officer or authorized third party will verify the information by requesting appropriate documentation, which may include:
- A high-quality scan or photo of a passport or national ID showing full name, date of birth, passport number, date of issue and expiration, country of issue, and signature;
- A clear, high-resolution selfie.
KYC Process Steps
- Navigate to the “KYC” section of the user profile.
- Click on “Verify your identity” and then “Upload new documents”.
- Accept the terms and conditions and consent to data processing.
- Select your country of residence and type of ID (passport or driver’s license).
- Upload the required documents and click on “Confirm and proceed”.
- Upload and confirm a selfie.
- Review submitted information, ensure accuracy, and confirm.
- The system will process the verification and your account status will be updated accordingly.
LalaBet may require users to complete the KYC process before their first deposit, even if the deposit amount is below 2,000 EUR/AUD/NZD/CAD, based on payment provider requirements.
Additional KYC Measures
LalaBet reserves the right to conduct additional user verification in cases of suspected fraud, money laundering or frequent large withdrawals. In such cases, users may be required to provide:
- A utility bill or bank reference (not older than six months);
- A high-resolution copy of a valid driver’s license.
Users acknowledge that KYC verification is mandatory for withdrawals and deposits under the specified conditions. Failure to provide the required documents may result in withdrawal denial or account suspension.
