Anti-Money Laundering

Legal Obligations

Parimatch operates under strict anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) obligations. The platform is required to implement policies and procedures that prevent the use of its services for illicit financial activity. These obligations apply to all users regardless of account status or transaction volume.

Identity Verification (KYC)

All users are subject to a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. This involves the collection and review of personal identification documents to confirm the identity of each account holder. KYC checks may be conducted at the time of registration, prior to withdrawal processing, or at any point determined necessary by the compliance team.

Documents typically required include:

  • Valid government-issued photo identification.
  • Proof of current residential address.
  • Documentation confirming the source of funds used for betting activity, where applicable.

Transaction Monitoring

The platform continuously monitors account activity for patterns that may indicate suspicious or irregular financial behaviour. Automated systems flag transactions that fall outside established parameters for review by the compliance department.

Suspicious Activity Detection

Parimatch’s compliance team investigates flagged accounts and transactions. Indicators that may trigger a review include:

  • Unusually large or frequent deposits or withdrawals.
  • Deposits followed immediately by withdrawal requests without corresponding betting activity.
  • Use of multiple payment methods registered to different individuals.
  • Structuring of transactions to avoid reporting thresholds.

Consequences of Policy Violations

Breaches of AML policies may result in the following actions:

  • Temporary suspension of account access pending investigation.
  • Freezing of funds held in the account.
  • Permanent closure of the account.
  • Reporting of suspicious activity to relevant financial intelligence authorities in accordance with applicable law.

Users are advised to cooperate fully with any compliance requests. Failure to do so may be treated as grounds for account restriction.

Security

Platform Security Commitments

Parimatch employs a layered security framework to protect the integrity of the platform, the confidentiality of user accounts, and the safety of all financial transactions. Security measures are reviewed and updated continuously to address emerging threats.

Technical Protection Measures

  • Data Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and the platform is encrypted using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. Sensitive account and financial information is stored in encrypted form.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Users are encouraged to enable two-factor authentication on their accounts. This adds a secondary verification step at login, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised access.
  • Secure Payment Infrastructure: All payment processing is handled through certified and audited payment gateways. Card data is never stored directly on the platform’s servers.
  • Firewall and Intrusion Detection Systems: The platform operates behind enterprise-grade firewalls and is monitored by automated intrusion detection systems that flag and respond to irregular access attempts.

Account Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of account activity is conducted to identify and respond to anomalies such as:

  • Login attempts from unrecognised devices or geographic locations.
  • Unusual patterns in betting or financial activity.
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts.

Users will be notified of suspicious activity through registered contact details. In cases where account compromise is suspected, access may be temporarily suspended pending verification.

User Responsibilities

The security of your account also depends on the steps you take. You are responsible for:

  • Keeping your login credentials confidential and not sharing them with any third party.
  • Using a strong, unique password and updating it regularly.
  • Logging out of the platform when using shared or public devices.
  • Reporting any suspected unauthorised account activity to the support team without delay.

Parimatch cannot be held liable for losses resulting from a user’s failure to maintain adequate personal account security.
