Registration of the gamblers is essential to a smooth operation of the gambling sector. Without the ability to identify players and restrict access to those who fail to comply with legal requirements or court orders, the chances of illegal, dangerous, irresponsible gambling, fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing or other similar crimes occurring, become increasingly higher.
Casinos licensed under official legislation have an obligation to know and verify their customers, and this is reflected in the account creation process, during which a new player is asked to provide a range of personal details and documents to verify their identity.
