If you have just joined Parimatch, you will be required to verify your account. Let’s see which documents you will need to submit to the betting site for verification.
Parimatch is a licensed and regulated online gambling site. To comply with the requirements of the UK Gambling Commission and Curacao e-Gaming, the bookie has to carry out KYC procedures. In this guide, we will briefly look at the verification process of the betting site.
Name and Age Verification
Parimatch has to ensure that its customers are of the legal gambling age in their country. In most countries, the site will require punters to be at least 18 years old. To confirm your age, the bookie will ask you to submit one of the following documents:
- A full page of your passport including the MRZ code
- The front and back of your driver’s license
- The front and back of your national ID card
- These documents should be submitted as colour copies.
Address Verification
Parimatch will also have to verify your address. If you have a driver’s license, it can be used for address verification. If you want to use other verification documents, you will have to ensure that they are at least 3 months old. Here are some documents you can use to prove your address:
- Utility bills
- Bank statements
- Government letters
- Council tax bills
- Sky or internet bills
- Tax revenue letters
With these documents, you have to ensure that your name, address, and date issued can be seen clearly.
Credit and Debit Card Verification
If you intend to make payments using debit and credit cards, you will also need to submit copies of these documents. These should be submitted to verification@parimatch.co.uk / verification@parimatch.com. Avoid sending the documents to the support team as that would be insecure.
FAQ
Will I be able to place bets before my account is verified?
If you live in the UK, your account will be restricted until your documents are verified. In other countries, customers have 72 hours to verify their identities and 28 days to verify their addresses. If the accounts are not verified within these periods, they will be restricted.
Will I need to send proof of my source of income?
Some customers may need to show proof of their source of income, and this can be done with copies of a payslip, pension statements, or recent dividend documents.
Can I make deposits before my account is verified?
Punters outside the UK cannot make deposits before their accounts are verified. People in other countries are allowed to make deposits to the site before verifying their accounts.
