KYC
KYC is verifying a player's identity, age and place of residence, using documents and data checks, before they can transact freely.
Licensed operators are required to perform it, and the timing is a real product decision. Verifying before the first deposit protects against fraud but loses players at the moment of highest intent; verifying before withdrawal converts better but means fraud is discovered later.
Most operators use a risk-based approach: light checks at signup, full verification triggered by withdrawal size, deposit volume or a risk signal. The platform needs to support that triggering, not just a single blanket rule.
