- Introduction and Purpose
This document sets out the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) policy of Amusement City Casino as it applies to players accessing services from Ireland. The policy is established in accordance with Ireland’s Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Acts, including the 2018 Amendment, and in alignment with applicable EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives.
The purpose of this policy is to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, underage gambling, and identity misrepresentation. Compliance with these obligations is mandatory. No player may access full account functionality, including the ability to withdraw funds, without satisfying the verification requirements described in this document.
- Legal Framework
Amusement City Casino operates under AML obligations that apply to gambling service providers in Ireland. Since 27 November 2018, the Irish betting and casino sector has been subject to AML legislation requiring standards comparable to those applied in the financial services industry. These obligations are further shaped by EU directives, including AMLD4 and AMLD6, and by the regulatory framework being established under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 and the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland.
Where required, suspicious transactions are reported to Ireland’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) via the goAML system.
- Scope of Application
This policy applies to all registered accounts held by individuals located in or resident in Ireland. It applies at account registration, at the point of first withdrawal, upon reaching defined transaction thresholds, and at any stage where an internal risk assessment identifies a need for additional verification.
4. KYC Requirements
4.1 Standard Verification
All players are required to complete identity verification before withdrawals are processed. The following documents are accepted.
Proof of identity:
- Passport
- National identity card
- Driver’s licence
Proof of address (document must be dated within the last three to six months):
- Utility bill
- Bank statement
- Official government correspondence
Documents submitted must be valid, unaltered, and clearly legible. Amusement City Casino does not accept documents that are expired, digitally altered, or issued in the name of a third party.
4.2 Payment Method Verification
Where required by risk assessment, players may be asked to confirm ownership of the payment instrument used for deposits or withdrawals. Deposits or withdrawals via payment instruments registered to another person are not permitted.
4.3 Source of Funds and Source of Wealth
In cases involving high transaction volumes, high-stakes activity, or elevated risk indicators, documentation confirming the source of funds or source of wealth may be requested. This may include payslips, tax returns, bank statements, or other financial records demonstrating that funds used for gambling are of legitimate origin.
- Customer Due Diligence Thresholds
Customer due diligence (CDD) is applied in accordance with Irish and EU regulatory requirements. The following thresholds are relevant:
Trigger - Threshold
Single transaction (stake or payout) - EUR 2,000 or more
Cumulative linked transactions (online, within 24 hours) - EUR 2,000 or more
Monitoring trigger (online accounts) - Bets of EUR 200 or more, with subsequent transactions of EUR 50 or more monitored for a minimum of 6 months
Where CDD is triggered, the relevant transaction will not proceed until the required documentation has been submitted and verified.
Enhanced due diligence (EDD) applies to players identified as higher risk, including those with high-stakes activity or VIP status. EDD may involve additional documentation, extended source-of-wealth checks, and more frequent review cycles.
- Ongoing Monitoring
Amusement City Casino conducts ongoing monitoring of account activity. This includes reviewing transaction patterns, identifying unusual or inconsistent behaviour, and assessing whether activity is consistent with the player’s stated profile and verified information. Monitoring is continuous and is not limited to the point of initial verification.
Where monitoring identifies activity that is inconsistent with a player’s profile or that raises concern under the AML risk framework, the platform may suspend account access, request additional documentation, or file a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) with the FIU as required by law.
- Prohibited Conduct
The following conduct is strictly prohibited and may result in account suspension, termination, and reporting to relevant authorities:
- Opening or operating multiple accounts for the purpose of evading identity or AML controls
- Submitting forged, altered, or stolen identity or address documents
- Misrepresenting identity, age, residency, or beneficial ownership
- Using payment instruments registered to another person
- Providing false or misleading information in response to verification requests
- Structuring transactions in a manner intended to avoid CDD thresholds
- Age Verification
Verification of age is a mandatory component of the KYC process. No player may access gambling services at Amusement City Casino without confirming that they meet the minimum legal age requirement applicable in Ireland. Age verification is conducted at account registration and confirmed through the identity documents described in Section 4.1.
- Record Retention
Identity documents, verification records, transaction data, and related correspondence are retained in accordance with applicable Irish and EU legal requirements. Records are stored securely and are made available to competent authorities upon lawful request.
- Staff Training and Internal Controls
The internal AML and KYC framework of Amusement City Casino includes staff training, documented risk assessment procedures, internal controls, and designated compliance responsibilities. These measures are reviewed and updated in line with changes to applicable legislation and regulatory guidance.
- Player Obligations
By registering an account with Amusement City Casino, players confirm that they:
- Are the sole beneficial owner of the account
- Have provided accurate and complete information at registration and throughout the verification process
- Will notify the platform promptly of any material change to their personal details
- Understand that failure to complete verification will result in restricted account access
- Contact for Compliance Queries
