What is Know Your Customer? A complete guide to KYC in betting

(Alamy/PA) -

Know Your Customer, or KYC, is the process a business uses to verify a customer's identity. For betting sites, it is a legal requirement rather than a policy created by an individual bookmaker, with operators required to establish who their customers are before allowing them to gamble.

This guide is for anyone asked to verify their identity by a betting site, or anyone who wants to understand why checks happen before signing up to betting sites.
