Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer Policy

Admiral Shark applies KYC and AML protocols to verify the identity of every account holder, prevent fraudulent activity, and combat financial crime. These security measures deliver the following guarantees:

• Fair play maintained across all gaming and betting activities
• User safety through strict account protection standards
• Transparency in all verification and monitoring processes
• Regulatory compliance with United Kingdom financial crime prevention laws
• Personal data handled in accordance with data protection legislation
• Transaction monitoring to detect and prevent suspicious activity

Every new user must complete an identity verification process before full account functionality becomes available. The platform may request document submission from the following categories:

• Government-issued photo identification (passport, driving licence, or national identity card)
• Proof of residential address dated within the last three months (utility bill, bank statement, or council tax notice)
• Confirmation of payment method ownership (bank card image, account statement, or electronic wallet verification)
• Additional documentation for enhanced due diligence when required by risk assessment procedures

Admiral Shark implements comprehensive controls to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illegal activity. The following measures form part of the platform’s AML framework:

• Transaction monitoring systems that analyse deposit, withdrawal, and wagering patterns
• Automated detection rules configured to identify unusual or high-risk behaviour
• Enhanced due diligence procedures applied to elevated-risk transactions or account activity
• Review processes for large or unusual fund transfers
• Risk scoring mechanisms that assess user profiles and activity against threat indicators
• Sanctions screening and politically exposed person (PEP) checks conducted on all account holders
• Reporting to competent authorities when suspicious activity is identified, in accordance with regulatory requirements

The platform prohibits certain actions that undermine identity verification, account protection, and financial crime prevention. The following activities are strictly forbidden:

• Operating multiple accounts or using another person’s identity
• Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents during the ID verification process
• Attempting to launder money or disguise the origin of funds
• Manipulating systems to circumvent security measures or monitoring controls
• Sharing, transferring, or selling account access to third parties
• Using payment methods not registered in the account holder’s name
• Providing false or misleading personal data during registration or verification

Violations of KYC or AML requirements trigger enforcement actions proportionate to the severity and nature of the breach. Measures may 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.

Account holders bear responsibility for maintaining accurate and current information on the platform. Users must provide truthful personal data during registration and update details when circumstances change. Completion of the identity check must occur within requested timeframes, and users must respond promptly to requests for additional document submission or clarification. Only payment methods registered in the account holder’s name may be used for deposits or withdrawals. Any suspicious activity observed on the platform or within a user’s own account must be reported to customer support without delay. Failure to meet these obligations may result in restrictions or enforcement actions.

Admiral Shark upholds fair play and transparency standards to protect users and maintain a safe gaming environment. These principles guide all security measures and compliance activities:

• Full compliance with KYC and AML standards mandated by United Kingdom law
• Confidentiality and protection of personal data in accordance with data protection legislation
• Ongoing transaction monitoring to detect and prevent suspicious activity
• Prevention of manipulation, collusion, and unfair behaviour
• User support services available to address questions on account protection and responsible gaming
• Shared responsibility between the platform and users to maintain a secure environment
• Equal conditions and security measures applied to all account holders
