Platform restrictions support robust KYC and AML controls and help protect users. The following activities are not allowed:

• Operating multiple accounts or impersonating another person
• Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents
• Any attempt to launder funds or disguise the source of money
• Manipulating systems, odds, or features to gain unfair advantage
• Sharing, selling, or transferring access to an account
• Using third-party or unverified payment instruments
• Misrepresenting identity or ownership of funds

Violations of this policy may result in enforcement action consistent with Nigerian law and licensing conditions. Immediate intervention may occur where there is a risk to users or the integrity of the platform.

Measures may include 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.

Users must provide accurate and up-to-date personal data and complete verification within stated timeframes. All document submission must be genuine, legible, and valid. Only payment methods owned by the account holder may be used for deposits and withdrawals. Requests for additional information or re-verification should be answered promptly. Responsible gaming tools may be applied to support safe use and improve account protection, and any suspicious activity should be reported to support without delay.
