KYC & AML Verification at 1xBet Pakistan
Overview & Legal Framework
Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification are mandatory procedures at 1xBet designed to confirm the identity of every user and prevent financial crimes such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud. These measures protect both the platform and its users by ensuring a safe and transparent betting environment.
1xBet operates under the Curaçao eGaming license (1668/JAZ), which mandates strict compliance with international KYC and AML standards. As part of these requirements, all users must provide accurate personal information and submit valid identity documents when requested.
Age Requirement in Pakistan
You must be at least 18 years of age to register and use 1xBet in Pakistan. Accounts found to belong to underage users will be immediately suspended, and any funds may be forfeited.
The KYC/AML framework serves several critical purposes:
- Verifying the true identity and age of all account holders
- Preventing money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes
- Ensuring compliance with the Curaçao eGaming regulatory framework
- Protecting users from unauthorized account access and identity theft
- Maintaining the integrity of the platform's financial operations
When Is Verification Required?
1xBet employs a tiered verification system. The level of documentation required depends on your activity on the platform:
| Stage | Trigger | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Account creation | Basic personal info: full name, date of birth, email, phone number |
| First Withdrawal | Requesting your first payout | Full identity verification with documents (CNIC, Passport, or Driving License) |
| Enhanced Due Diligence | Deposits exceed ₨1,000,000 or unusual account patterns | Additional documentation including source of funds proof |
Verification may also be triggered earlier than the first withdrawal if the system detects:
- Cumulative deposits exceeding ₨1,000,000
- Unusual betting or transaction patterns
- Multiple accounts suspected from the same user
- Discrepancies between registered information and payment details
- Requests from the compliance team during routine audits

- Must be valid and not expired
- Both sides required (front with photo, back with address)
- NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis) is also accepted

A valid Pakistani driving license issued by the relevant provincial authority may be accepted. Both sides should be submitted.

- Third-Party Transactions: Using payment methods belonging to someone other than the account holder
- Geographic Anomalies: Transactions originating from unusual or high-risk locations
