The identity, age and address verification process every UKGC operator must complete before allowing real-money play.

In detail

Since May 2019, UKGC operators must verify identity, age and address before accepting a deposit or allowing free-play access. Standard checks combine electronic verification against credit-reference and electoral-roll data with document checks (passport or photo driving licence plus a recent utility bill or bank statement). Enhanced due diligence kicks in at higher spend thresholds and on flagged behaviour.
