- City/State Employee Card
- Birth Certificate
- University ID Card
Betway may ask for proof of address too. You can use the following:
- Bank Statement
- Mortgage Statement
- Tax Statement
- Utility Bill
The process of verifying individual players is essential for many reasons, with it being a federal law in the United States that online gambling operators earning $1million or more in gross revenues to complete the process.
Money Laundering
It prevents people from using gambling as a vehicle for money laundering, with Betway using quality banking options for depositing and withdrawing funds to avoid this issue.
