KYC & AML Policy

1Red applies KYC and AML procedures to verify the identity of each account holder, prevent fraud, and address financial crime in accordance with UK regulatory requirements. These measures form the foundation of a transparent and secure platform.

The following guarantees underpin the approach taken:

• Fair play: All users operate under the same verified conditions, ensuring no individual gains an unfair advantage through false or concealed identity.
• User safety: ID verification and transaction monitoring reduce exposure to fraudulent activity and unauthorised account use.
• Transparency: Users are informed of the procedures applied to their accounts and the basis on which decisions are made.
• Regulatory compliance: All processes align with the obligations imposed by the UK Gambling Commission and applicable anti-money laundering legislation.
• Account protection: Verification procedures help safeguard accounts from misuse by third parties.

Every new user registered on 1Red is required to complete an identity check before accessing the full range of platform features, including deposits, withdrawals, and account management. Document submission must be completed accurately and within the timeframes specified by the platform.

The following categories of documentation may be requested during the verification process:

• Government-issued photographic identification: A valid passport, national identity card, or driving licence confirming the user’s legal name and date of birth.
• Proof of address: An official document issued within a specified recent period, such as a utility bill or bank statement, confirming the user’s current residential address.
• Payment method ownership confirmation: Documentation or verification confirming that the payment instrument used for deposits or withdrawals is owned and controlled by the registered account holder.
• Source of funds documentation: In certain circumstances, users may be asked to provide evidence of the origin of funds used for wagering activity.
• Additional personal data: Supplementary documentation may be requested where the initial submission is insufficient to complete the ID verification to the required standard.

1Red has implemented a structured set of security measures designed to prevent money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and any other form of illicit financial activity on the platform. These controls operate continuously and are applied in accordance with UK AML legislation.

The controls in place include the following:

• Transaction monitoring: All financial activity on the platform is subject to ongoing review to identify patterns or volumes inconsistent with normal user behaviour.
• Automated detection rules: Algorithmic systems flag transactions that meet predefined risk thresholds for further review by the compliance team.
• Enhanced due diligence: Users identified as presenting a higher level of risk are subject to additional verification steps and closer scrutiny of their account activity.
• Review of large and unusual transfers: Deposits, withdrawals, or transfers that exceed standard thresholds or exhibit unusual characteristics are individually assessed.
• Risk scoring: Each account is assigned a risk profile based on behavioural and transactional data, which informs the level of monitoring applied.
• Sanctions and PEP screening: All users are screened against relevant sanctions lists and databases of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) in line with UK regulatory guidance.
• Reporting obligations: Where suspicious activity is identified, 1Red fulfils its legal obligation to report to the relevant UK authorities, including the National Crime Agency where applicable.

1Red enforces a set of platform restrictions that directly support the effectiveness of KYC and AML procedures and protect the integrity of the user environment. Violations of these restrictions are treated as serious breaches of the platform’s terms and conditions.

The following actions are strictly prohibited:

• Operating multiple accounts: No individual may register or use more than one account on the platform under any name or identity.
• Submitting forged or misappropriated documents: The provision of falsified, altered, or stolen documentation during the identity check or document submission process is prohibited.
• Attempting to launder funds: Using the platform as a mechanism to conceal, transfer, or legitimise proceeds of criminal activity is a violation of both platform rules and UK law.
• Manipulating platform systems: Any attempt to exploit technical vulnerabilities, circumvent controls, or interfere with the normal operation of the platform is forbidden.
• Transferring or selling account access: Account holders must not share, sell, or otherwise transfer access to their registered account to any third party.
• Using third-party payment instruments: Deposits and withdrawals must be made exclusively using payment methods held in the name of the registered account holder.
• Misrepresenting personal data: The provision of inaccurate, incomplete, or deliberately misleading personal data at any stage of registration or verification is prohibited.

Failure to comply with the KYC and AML requirements set out in this policy, or engagement in any of the prohibited activities listed, will result in enforcement action proportionate to the nature and severity of the breach. The measures available to 1Red in such circumstances include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or associated winnings, and reporting to competent UK authorities where the circumstances give rise to a legal obligation to do so.

Each account holder is responsible for ensuring that all personal data provided to 1Red is accurate, complete, and kept up to date at all times. Users must complete the ID verification process within the timeframes requested and respond promptly to any request for additional document submission or supplementary information. All payment methods used on the platform must be held in the name of the registered account holder, and any attempt to use instruments belonging to a third party is inconsistent with the obligations accepted upon registration. Users are also expected to report any suspicious activity they encounter or become aware of in connection with their account or the platform. Maintaining the accuracy of account information is an ongoing obligation that persists for the duration of the user’s relationship with 1Red.

1Red is committed to upholding fair play and transparency as core operational principles, ensuring that the platform remains a safe and equitable environment for all registered users. These principles are embedded in the platform’s compliance framework and reflected in every aspect of its approach to user safety and regulatory requirements.

The following principles guide the platform’s conduct:

• Compliance with KYC and AML standards: All procedures are developed and maintained in accordance with the obligations imposed by UK law and the standards set by the UK Gambling Commission.
• Confidentiality and protection of personal data: Information collected during identity checks and document submission is handled in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and is not disclosed without lawful basis.
• Ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity: Transaction monitoring and behavioural analysis are conducted continuously to identify and address potential threats to the integrity of the platform.
• Prevention of manipulation and unfair conduct: Verification procedures and account controls are designed to prevent any individual from gaining an unfair advantage or undermining the experience of other users.
• User support on compliance matters: Account holders may contact the support team for guidance on verification procedures, document submission requirements, and account security.
• Shared responsibility: Both the platform and its users bear responsibility for maintaining a lawful and transparent environment, and cooperation between the two is essential to achieving this.
• Equal conditions for all users: KYC and AML procedures are applied consistently across all accounts, ensuring that no user is subject to differential treatment on grounds unrelated to risk assessment.
