Introduction to ID Verification and AML in India

Parimatch maintains a Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering framework to confirm identity, protect users, and address financial crime risks in India. The policy supports counter-terrorism financing controls, promotes transparency, and aligns operations with applicable Indian regulatory requirements, including the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, and related rules.

Why Identity Checks and AML Controls Matter

KYC and AML procedures are applied to verify identity, prevent fraud, and deter illegal transfers. These measures strengthen user safety and account protection while meeting legal obligations.

  • Fair play across all activities
  • User safety through prudent security measures
  • Transparency on verification and transaction monitoring
  • Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements

ID Verification and Document Submission Requirements

Every new user must complete an identity check before access to certain features or withdrawals. ID verification may be repeated if risk factors change or information needs to be refreshed.

  • Government-issued photo identification that proves age and identity
  • Proof of address showing the current residential location
  • Confirmation that the payment method belongs to the account holder

AML Security Measures and Transaction Monitoring

Controls are in place to prevent money laundering and illegal activity, consistent with Indian law and guidance from FIU-IND. Monitoring focuses on suspicious activity, unusual patterns, and risk indicators.

  • Ongoing transaction monitoring for anomalies and red flags
  • Automated detection rules to identify suspicious activity
  • Enhanced due diligence for high-risk profiles, events, or jurisdictions
  • Independent review of large, complex, or unusual transfers
  • Risk scoring and periodic reassessment of user risk
  • Sanctions and PEP screening against relevant lists
  • Reporting to competent authorities when required by law

Prohibited Conduct Supporting Account Protection

Platform rules restrict conduct that undermines ID verification and AML controls. Any activity that conceals identity or source of funds is prohibited.

  • Creating or using multiple accounts
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents
  • Attempting to launder funds or disguise beneficial ownership
  • Manipulating systems, odds, or game outcomes
  • Sharing or selling account access or credentials
  • Using third-party or unauthorised payment instruments
  • Misrepresenting identity or acting on behalf of another person

Enforcement Actions and Reporting Obligations

Violations of KYC or AML rules trigger enforcement steps proportionate to risk and legal requirements. Authorities may be notified when thresholds for reporting are met under Indian law.

Temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings, reporting to competent authorities where applicable.

User Duties for Accurate Data and Timely Verification

Users must submit accurate and updated personal data and complete ID verification within requested timeframes. Additional document submission may be required to validate address, age, or payment ownership. Only payment methods owned and controlled by the account holder may be used. Users should respond promptly to information requests and immediately report suspicious activity or security incidents.
