BC Poker KYC Policy

BC Poker applies a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process as a mandatory requirement under its Anjouan Gaming Licence. Whether you access the platform via browser or use the BC Poker app download to play on mobile, the KYC process applies across all versions. It confirms user identity, supports the platform’s AML compliance obligations, and protects player funds from unauthorized access. Completing KYC unlocks full cashier access and grants a $5 KYC reward credited automatically to the account upon successful verification.

Why KYC Is Required at BC Poker

KYC serves four specific compliance and security purposes:

• Identity confirmation – verifying that the account holder is a real person whose identity matches the account registration data.
• Fraud prevention – reducing the risk of unauthorized account access and payment fraud by linking the account to a verified individual.
• AML and CFT compliance – meeting the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing requirements of BC Poker’s licence from Anjouan Licensing Services Inc.
• Age verification – confirming that the account holder meets the 18+ minimum age requirement before full cashier access is granted.

Without completing KYC, withdrawals are blocked and access to certain bonuses is restricted. Deposits remain available to unverified accounts, but the platform applies limits or additional monitoring to high-activity accounts pending verification.

When KYC Verification Is Triggered

KYC is requested in the following situations:

• At the time of first withdrawal request – no withdrawal can be processed without a verified account
• When cumulative transaction volume reaches internal thresholds set by the compliance team
• When account activity triggers a risk review, including unusual deposit patterns or behavior inconsistent with the account’s profile
• When the player requests access to higher withdrawal limits beyond the standard processing tier

The compliance team may also request verification at any stage based on its own assessment, independent of any of the above triggers. Players are notified through the platform and by email when verification is required.

Required Documents for Verification

Three categories of documents are used for standard KYC:

All documents must be legible, in colour, and show the full document without cropped edges or obstructing glare. Expired documents are not accepted for identity verification.

Source of Funds Verification

For accounts with high transaction volumes or elevated risk profiles, BC Poker’s compliance team may request additional documentation to confirm the origin of deposited funds. Acceptable source of funds documents include:

• bank statements showing regular income credits over a period of at least 3 months;
• employment contract or recent payslips matching the income shown in statements;
• business financial records or accountant’s confirmation for self-employed or business account holders.

Source of funds requests are separate from the standard KYC document set. Failure to provide requested documentation within the specified timeframe results in continued account restrictions.

KYC Verification Process

The verification process follows these steps:

1. Log in to the BC Poker account and navigate to the verification section in account settings.
2. Upload clear images of the required documents in the designated fields.
3. Submit the verification request.
4. The compliance team reviews the submission – automated processing handles most standard cases; manual review is applied when documents require additional assessment.
5. A notification is sent to the registered email address (support@bcpoker.com is the contact address for queries) confirming the outcome – standard review time is up to 24 hours.

If a submission is rejected, the notification includes the reason and the player can resubmit with corrected documents.

The $5 KYC reward is credited to the account automatically within 24 hours of verification approval. It does not require a separate claim step.

Data Privacy and Storage

All documents submitted for KYC are stored in a secured environment with access limited to compliance personnel. The data is used exclusively for identity verification, regulatory compliance, and AML record-keeping.

Data sharing policy:

• documents are not sold or shared with any commercial third party;
• data may be disclosed to regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies when required by a lawful formal request or as part of a SAR-related obligation;
• all KYC records are retained for a minimum of 5 years in accordance with the data retention requirements of BC Poker’s licensing framework.

A deletion request does not override the 5-year retention requirement. Compliance records form part of the platform’s AML documentation and cannot be removed on request alone.

Account Limitations Without KYC

An unverified account on BC Poker has the following specific restrictions:

• Withdrawals are fully blocked – no amount can be processed regardless of available balance.
• Deposit limits may be applied if the account’s transaction activity raises risk signals pending verification.
• The $5 KYC reward is not available until verification is completed and confirmed.
• The 7-Day Newcomer Gifts package and other KYC-gated promotions are either inaccessible or available only in a restricted form.

There is no time limit imposed for completing KYC, but players are advised to complete verification before making their first deposit if they intend to withdraw. This avoids delays when a withdrawal is requested.
