Know Your Customer (KYC) is the strict requirement to ensure that gaming operators know their customers. The information provided by customers must be accurate and valid as security checks are conducted regularly.

You will be required to undergo our KYC verification process as a result of:

• You updating certain personal information on your W138 Profile;
• Lack of certain information relating to you, your W138 account or your transaction(s) with W138;
• Discrepancy or inconsistency of information relating to you, your W138 account or your transaction(s) with W138;
• Promotional claims;
• Certain activity levels or thresholds being triggered; or
• Our routine or random checks.
• On the first occasion a player requests a withdrawal of funds which exceeds MYR 3,000
• When a withdrawal of funds taken together with all other payments made to a player within the 30 days immediately preceding the date on which the payment is to be made, if the aggregate amount exceeds MYR 3,000

Notwithstanding the above, W138 reserves the right to perform KYC verifications on any of our members as and when we deem necessary or appropriate.

You will receive a notification from our KYC department requiring you to submit documents for KYC verification via email to your registered W138 email address as well as via your W138 account Messaging Inbox.

You should provide all the required documents at your earliest convenience upon receipt of such notification to avoid any delays in processing your transactions and/or reduce/prevent interruptions to the continuing use of your W138 account.

List of documents commonly accepted as standard identity proof:

• National Identity Card (front and back) or passport (1 page with signature and photograph of the holder). Expiration date must be valid. The entire document must be present in the copy uploaded including full name, ID number, photo and expiration date.
• Copy of a valid Utility Bill as a proof of your current address. This can be a payment request/ receipt sent to your legal address, such s Water / Electricity / Gas/ Internet/ Land Line Phone bill or a recently issued Bank statement.

In order for it to be approved, the Utility bill/ Bank statement must be issued within the last 6 months of submission. The document must be present in the copy uploaded including your full name, physical address, issuance date and utility company name or logo.

If you do not have any of the required documents, other official documents or evidence issued by authorized authorities may be accepted. These will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

You can submit a photocopy document but we encourage you to provide us with scanned colored copy instead, due to image quality reasons. If a photocopied document is of a poor quality, we may require you to provide us with a certified true copy of your document with a stamp clearly reflected on it.

Under certain circumstances, however, longer processing time may be required, please ensure the email you enter in the registration process belongs to you and is readily accessible as we will use it to communicate with you regarding your KYC process.
