Pin-Up KYC & AML Policy

KYC and AML processes on Pin-Up support identity check, ID verification, and controls that protect users in Nigeria from financial crime. These measures reflect regulatory requirements under Nigerian law, including the Money Laundering Prevention framework, counter-terrorism financing rules, and guidance from the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit.

Purpose of KYC & AML

Pin-Up applies KYC and AML to verify identity, prevent fraud, and deter money laundering and terrorism financing. These controls promote user safety, transparency, and account protection in line with regulatory requirements.

  • Fair play for all participants
  • User safety and account protection
  • Transparency in identity check and document submission
  • Compliance with Nigerian regulatory requirements and reporting obligations

KYC Requirements

Every new user must complete ID verification before full access to products and services. Additional checks may be requested during the account lifecycle if risk factors or regulatory requirements arise.

  • Government-issued photo identification
  • Proof of residential address
  • Confirmation of ownership for payment methods used by the account holder

AML Measures

Pin-Up implements security measures designed to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illegal activity. Controls operate on a risk-based approach aligned to Nigerian laws and guidance from competent authorities.

  • Transaction monitoring and activity review for unusual or suspicious activity
  • Automated detection rules and alerts based on risk thresholds
  • Enhanced due diligence for high-risk profiles, events, or jurisdictions
  • Independent review of large, complex, or unusual transfers
  • Risk scoring to guide ongoing oversight and verification steps
  • Sanctions and PEP screening at onboarding and on a continuous basis
  • Reporting to the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit and other competent bodies where required by law

Prohibited Activities

The platform restricts misuse that undermines KYC and AML controls and threatens account protection. Breaches may lead to immediate enforcement and reporting obligations.

  • Creating or using multiple accounts
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents
  • Any attempt to launder funds or disguise source of funds
  • Manipulating systems, exploits, or transaction flows
  • Sharing, selling, or transferring account access
  • Using third-party or unauthorised payment instruments
  • Misrepresenting identity or acting on behalf of another person without lawful authority

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Violations of this policy or Nigerian law trigger compliance action. Measures may be taken proportionately to risk and legal obligations.

Penalties 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.

User Responsibilities

Users must provide accurate and current personal data and complete document submission promptly when requested. The account holder should finalise verification within stated timeframes and respond to any follow-up questions needed for ID verification or ongoing checks. Only payment methods owned and controlled by the account holder may be used. Users should promptly report suspicious activity or security concerns to customer support. Responsible gaming and cooperation with compliance checks are part of maintaining a safe environment.
