Admiral Shark KYC & AML Policy

KYC and AML controls are applied to verify each user’s identity, support reliable document submission and reduce the risk of fraud, money laundering and terrorist financing.

These measures are designed to uphold:

• Fair play and equal conditions for all users
• A high level of user safety and account protection
• Transparency in how personal data and payments are handled
• Compliance with United Kingdom regulatory requirements and reporting obligations
• Responsible gaming practices supported by robust identity checks

Every new user must complete an identity check so that the account holder can be reliably identified before gambling services are provided.

During ID verification, the following categories of documents may be requested as part of the document submission process:

• Government-issued photo identification (for example, passport, photocard driving licence or national identity card)
• Proof of residential address (for example, recent utility bill, bank statement or official letter)
• Evidence that the payment method used belongs to the account holder (for example, partial card statement, e-wallet confirmation or banking document)
• Additional documents where required by regulatory requirements, risk assessment or responsible gaming checks

The platform applies a range of AML and counter-terrorist financing controls to deter, detect and disrupt money laundering and other illegal activity.

Core AML security measures and transaction monitoring controls include:

• Ongoing monitoring of deposits, withdrawals and betting patterns to identify suspicious activity
• Automated detection rules and system alerts for unusual behaviour or high-risk transactions
• Enhanced due diligence for higher-risk customers, events or jurisdictions, in line with regulatory requirements
• Regular reviews of large, complex or unusual transfers involving gambling funds
• Risk scoring of accounts to assess exposure to money laundering or terrorist financing
• Screening of customers against applicable sanctions lists and checks for politically exposed persons (PEPs)
• Filing of appropriate reports to the National Crime Agency or other competent authorities when required by law

To maintain a safe and compliant environment, certain activities are forbidden because they undermine KYC and AML protections and increase the risk of suspicious activity.

Prohibited actions include:

• Operating multiple accounts or using another person’s account to disguise the true account holder
• Providing forged, altered, stolen or misleading documents during identity checks or document submission
• Using the platform to attempt money laundering, hide criminal proceeds or facilitate terrorism financing
• Manipulating systems, games or betting markets to gain unfair advantage or circumvent security measures
• Sharing, selling or otherwise transferring access credentials to any third party
• Using payment instruments or bank accounts that are not owned or legitimately controlled by the registered user
• Misrepresenting personal identity, address, source of funds or any other personal data requested for compliance

Breach of this KYC and AML Policy, refusal to cooperate in ID verification, or involvement in suspicious activity may lead to enforcement action in line with legal and regulatory obligations.

Consequences can 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.

Each user is responsible for providing accurate, complete and up-to-date personal data during registration and throughout the lifetime of the account. Identity checks and ID verification requests must be completed promptly, and any follow-up requests for document submission or clarification must receive a timely response. Users must ensure that only payment methods in their own name are used and that account credentials remain confidential to protect account protection and user safety. Any suspicion that an account may have been compromised, or that another user is involved in suspicious activity, should be reported to customer support without delay. Cooperation with security measures and regulatory requirements forms part of responsible gaming and is mandatory for continued access to services.

The platform is committed to fair play and transparency to safeguard users, support responsible gaming and maintain a lawful and secure gambling environment.

This commitment is reflected in the following principles:

• Adherence to KYC, AML and counter-terrorist financing standards in the United Kingdom
• Careful handling, confidentiality and protection of personal data and financial information
• Continuous monitoring of accounts and transactions for indicators of suspicious activity
• Prevention of manipulation, collusion, fraud and other behaviour that undermines fair play
• Providing user support on safety, identity checks and security measures
• Emphasising shared responsibility between the operator and each account holder in meeting regulatory requirements
• Applying rules and controls consistently to ensure equal treatment and conditions for all users
