Verification (KYC) is a one-time identity check most regulated betting platforms run before releasing withdrawals.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Identity document | Colour copy of your passport or a national ID card |
| Phone verification | Mandatory, confirmed during or shortly after registration |
| Proof of address (on request) | Driving licence copy or a recent utility bill |
Verification, also called KYC, is a one-time identity check. Most regulated betting platforms run it before releasing withdrawals, and 1King is no exception. This page covers what KYC means, which documents to prepare, and why it's worth handling early.
None of this is unique to 1King. It's standard practice across the industry, and every term below is explained as it comes up.
KYC stands for "Know Your Customer." In practice, it's the step where you confirm you are who you say you are. Usually that means uploading an identity document and verifying a phone number. Platforms run this check before money moves out of an account. It protects both the platform and the player from fraud.
It's a one-time process. Once your account is verified, you shouldn't need to repeat the document upload for future withdrawals through the same method.
1 King's process asks for a mix of identity and contact confirmation. Here's what's typically requested:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Identity document | Colour copy of your passport (first two pages, plus residency stamp if you have one) or a national ID card |
| Phone verification | Mandatory, confirmed during or shortly after registration |
| Proof of address (on request) | Driving licence copy or a recent utility bill |
Most accounts only need the identity document and phone check. The proof-of-address items get requested case by case, not upfront for every player. You may never be asked for them at all.
Would rather not upload documents? 1King also offers video verification. Instead of submitting scans or photos, you speak directly with a representative who confirms your identity over a video call. It covers the same ground as the document route, just through a live conversation instead.
Either path gets you to the same verified status. It's mainly a matter of which format you're more comfortable with.
The process is short once you have your documents ready:
From there, the review happens on 1King's side. Submitting everything correctly the first time — clear document copies, a matching name, accurate details — is the best way to keep the process moving without needing a second try.
It's tempting to leave verification until you want to withdraw. But that's the moment a delay costs you the most. Complete KYC as soon as you register, well before you have a balance you're trying to access, and the timing issue never comes up.
There's a practical reason to move early too: bets can be voided and deposits returned if verification isn't done, especially once account activity triggers a review. Verifying up front keeps that risk off the table.
Once your account passes verification, withdrawals can go through whichever confirmed method you used to deposit, either bank card or cryptocurrency. You shouldn't need to submit documents again for standard withdrawals through that same method.
If 1King asks for more documents later, that's usually tied to a specific review, not a sign something's wrong. Answering the request promptly keeps things moving.

Getting verification done early means one less thing to think about later, right when you're ready to withdraw.
