Commitment to KYC, AML, and CTF in India
Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering controls safeguard users in India through identity check, ID verification, and transaction monitoring. This policy outlines legal obligations to deter money laundering and terrorism financing under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and related Rules, and reporting obligations to the Financial Intelligence Unit–India where required. All users must complete verification after completing the Parimatch betting App download to ensure a secure environment for everyone.
Why KYC and AML Are Applied
KYC and AML are applied to verify identity, reduce fraud risk, and prevent illegal use of accounts. These measures support user safety, account protection, and transparency in line with Indian regulatory requirements.
- Fair play across all gaming and wagering services
- User safety through robust security measures
- Transparency in handling personal data and transactions
- Compliance with regulatory requirements and reporting obligations
- Account protection against misuse or unauthorised access
Documents Needed for ID Verification
Every new user must complete identity verification before accessing full platform features. Document submission is required to confirm the account holder’s identity and address, and to validate payment ownership.

- Confirmation of ownership for the selected payment method
- Additional data to verify age or resolve discrepancies when needed

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.
Responsibilities of the Account Holder
Users must provide accurate and current personal data, and complete ID verification within stated timelines. Responses to requests for additional document submission are required to resolve identity check queries or source-of-funds assessments.
