This process is conducted in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and is designed to protect your account from unauthorised access.

Anti-Money Laundering Compliance on the Platform

The platform is legally obligated to:
- Detect and prevent the use of its services for money laundering or the financing of unlawful activities.
- Report suspicious transactions to the relevant authorities as required by law.

- Documentation supporting the source of funds, in cases where large or unusual transactions are identified
KYC verification may be requested at any stage of your account lifecycle, including during registration, before processing withdrawals, or when account activity triggers a review.

- Unusually large or frequent deposits
- Rapid fund transfers without corresponding betting activity
- Multiple accounts linked to the same individual or payment method
Consequences of Non-Compliance
If a user fails to complete KYC verification, submits false documentation, or engages in activity consistent with money laundering, the platform reserves the right to:

- Permanently close the account and report the case to the appropriate legal authorities
Cooperation with all verification requests is a mandatory condition of account use.

Platform Security Measures for Users in India
The platform employs a comprehensive set of technical and organisational measures to safeguard user accounts, financial transactions, and personal data. The following security protocols are in place across all versions of the platform, including the website and the mobile app.
Data Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and the platform’s servers is protected using SSL/TLS encryption. This applies to account login, payment processing, and the submission of verification documents. Stored data is also encrypted to prevent unauthorised access in the event of a security incident.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Users are strongly advised to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on their accounts. This feature adds a secondary verification step at login, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised access even if your password is compromised. 2FA is available via authentication apps or SMS verification codes.
Account Activity Monitoring
The platform continuously monitors account activity for signs of suspicious behaviour, including:
- Login attempts from unrecognised devices or locations
- Unusual changes to account details, such as email address or registered payment methods
- Multiple failed authentication attempts
In the event that suspicious activity is detected, the platform may temporarily restrict access to your account and prompt additional verification before restoring full functionality.
Organisational Security Standards
Beyond technical controls, the platform enforces internal security policies including:
- Restricted access to user data, limited to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Staff training on data handling, fraud prevention, and incident response protocols
User Responsibilities
Account security is a shared responsibility. You are expected to:
- Use a strong, unique password for your account
- Avoid accessing your account over unsecured public Wi-Fi networks
- Report any suspected unauthorised access to the support team immediately
- Keep your registered contact details up to date to receive security alerts
The platform accepts no liability for losses resulting from a user’s failure to observe these basic security practices.
