1w KYC & AML Policy
1w adheres to strict Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations as part of its responsible and lawful operations in Finland. These measures are designed to protect users, prevent financial crime, and ensure the platform meets applicable regulatory requirements. The policy applies to all registered account holders and is in effect for all deposits, withdrawals, and gaming transactions on the official 1w website.
Purpose of the KYC and AML Policy
1w applies KYC and AML procedures to verify identity, strengthen fraud prevention, and prevent financial crime. These measures form the foundation of a safe and transparent gaming environment.
Key objectives of the policy
- Fair play for all users without manipulation or fraud
- Ensuring user safety by protecting personal data
- Transparency of operations and clear accountability
- Compliance with regulatory requirements under Finnish legislation
- Protecting accounts from unauthorised use and identity theft
Identity Verification and Document Requirements
Every new user must complete identity verification before withdrawals or certain services can be used in full. Submitting documents is mandatory, and requests must be answered within the specified timeframe to ensure full account functionality.
Documents that may be requested include
- A government-issued photo ID (e.g. passport or identity card)
- Proof of address, such as a utility bill or official letter

User Obligations
All account holders must provide accurate and up-to-date personal information when registering and keep their details current throughout the customer relationship. Verification requests must be handled promptly, and required documents must be submitted within the specified timeframe to ensure account functionality. Users may only use payment methods of which they are the lawful owners; the use of third-party payment instruments is not permitted.
