Customer Due Diligence
We verify the identity, address and source of funds of every customer through documentary evidence and trusted third-party data providers. Enhanced due diligence is applied to higher-risk customers.
Transaction Monitoring
All deposits, wagers and withdrawals are monitored using automated systems and human review to detect unusual or suspicious activity. Suspicious transactions are reported to the UK National Crime Agency.
Sanctions Screening
Customers are screened against UK, EU, UN and OFAC sanctions lists at registration and on an ongoing basis.
Record Keeping
We retain customer and transaction records for at least five years in line with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017.
Your Rights
The way we collect and use your personal data is set out in our privacy policy. The full account rules are in our terms and conditions.
Regulatory Framework
SpinBoss applies controls modelled on the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Terrorism Act 2000, and the UK Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, alongside UK industry best practice for licensed gambling operators. Our nominated officer (MLRO) reports directly to the SpinBoss board.
Risk-Based Approach
SpinBoss takes a risk-based approach to AML compliance. Every customer is assigned a risk score based on country of residence, payment method, deposit velocity, gameplay patterns, and external sanctions/PEP data. The score is recalculated continuously and triggers different levels of due diligence.
| Risk band | Triggers | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Low | UK resident, regulated payment method, modest deposits. | Standard CDD at registration. |
| Medium | Higher deposit volume, sudden change in pattern. | Additional ID verification, source-of-funds questions. |
| High | PEP, sanctions match, high-risk jurisdiction, large cash flow. | Enhanced due diligence, MLRO sign-off, ongoing review. |
Documents We May Request
- Government-issued photo ID (passport, UK driving licence, or national identity card).
- Proof of address dated within the last 3 months (utility bill, bank statement, council tax bill).
- Proof of payment method (front and back of bank card with sensitive numbers redacted, or e-wallet screenshot).
- Source-of-funds evidence (payslips, P60, tax returns, business accounts, sale documents, inheritance documents).
- Source-of-wealth statement for high-deposit accounts.
Source of Funds Thresholds
Source-of-funds enquiries are triggered automatically at the following cumulative deposit thresholds and at any point our monitoring systems identify a pattern that warrants explanation. Thresholds are illustrative and may be applied earlier where risk indicators are present.
| Cumulative deposits | Documentation level |
|---|---|
| Up to £2,000 | Standard ID verification. |
| £2,000 – £10,000 | Income or affordability check. |
| £10,000 – £50,000 | Documentary source-of-funds evidence. |
| Above £50,000 | Full source-of-wealth review by MLRO. |
Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)
PEPs, their family members, and close associates are subject to enhanced due diligence including senior management approval before account opening, additional source-of-funds enquiries, and ongoing relationship monitoring. We screen against the World-Check One database refreshed daily.
Reporting Obligations
- Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to the UK National Crime Agency.
- Internal AML reporting reviewed by senior management on a quarterly basis.
- Annual independent AML audit by a Big-4 firm.
- Defence Against Money Laundering (DAML) requests where consent is required to proceed.
Staff Training
Every SpinBoss employee receives mandatory AML training within their first week and refresher training every six months. Customer-facing staff complete additional modules on red flags, social engineering, and confidentiality (no tipping-off).
Third-Party Deposits
Third-party deposits are strictly prohibited. Funds must originate from a payment method registered in the player's own name. Any deposit identified as third-party will be returned and the account placed under enhanced review.
Working With Law Enforcement
SpinBoss cooperates fully with UK and international law-enforcement agencies and will respond promptly to lawful production orders, court orders, and information requests. Customer accounts may be frozen pending investigation as required by law.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why have I been asked for documents?
UK regulation requires us to verify every customer. Document requests are not an accusation — they are a legal requirement.
How long does verification take?
Most documents are reviewed within 4 hours. Complex source-of-funds reviews can take up to 5 working days.
Are my documents safe?
Yes — they are encrypted at rest, accessible only to trained compliance staff, and retained in line with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (5 years post-relationship).
