Oshi Casino KYC & AML Policy

Oshi Casino operates under strict regulatory requirements designed to protect users and uphold the integrity of online gaming in Canada. The KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) framework applied across the platform serves to verify the identity of each account holder, detect suspicious activity, and prevent the use of the platform for financial crime. These measures reflect the platform’s commitment to user safety, fair play, and full transparency in every aspect of its operations.

Purpose of KYC & AML

Oshi Casino applies KYC and AML procedures to verify user identities, prevent fraud, and combat financial crime in accordance with applicable Canadian regulatory requirements. These processes form the foundation of a secure and trustworthy gaming environment.

  • Fair play for all users: Verification procedures help ensure that no user gains an unfair advantage through fraudulent means.
  • User safety and account protection: Identity checks reduce the risk of unauthorized access and protect each account holder from misuse.
  • Transparency in operations: All compliance measures are disclosed to users in a clear and accessible manner.
  • Regulatory compliance: The platform fulfils its reporting obligations and adheres to Canadian anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws.
  • Prevention of financial crime: Ongoing transaction monitoring and document submission requirements limit exposure to illicit activity.

KYC Requirements

Every new user registered on the platform is required to complete ID verification before accessing full account functionality, including withdrawals and higher deposit thresholds. Document submission may be requested at registration, prior to a transaction, or at any point during the account review process.

The following categories of documentation may be requested:

  • Government-issued photo identification: A valid passport, provincial driver’s licence, or national identity card confirming the account holder’s full legal name and date of birth.
  • Proof of residential address: A recent utility bill, bank statement, or government correspondence dated within the past three months, displaying the user’s name and current address.
  • Payment method ownership confirmation: Documentation or a statement verifying that the payment instrument used for deposits or withdrawals belongs to the registered account holder.
  • Source of funds documentation: In certain circumstances, users may be asked to provide evidence of the origin of funds used on the platform, in line with enhanced due diligence standards.
  • Additional personal data: Any supplementary information reasonably required to complete the identity check and satisfy applicable regulatory requirements.

AML Measures

Oshi Casino maintains a comprehensive set of security measures designed to detect, prevent, and report money laundering, terrorism financing, and other forms of financial crime. These controls operate continuously and apply to all account holders regardless of transaction volume.

  • Transaction monitoring: All deposits, withdrawals, and in-platform transfers are subject to ongoing review for patterns consistent with suspicious activity.
  • Automated detection systems: Rule-based and algorithmic tools flag unusual behaviour, irregular transaction sequences, or activity inconsistent with a user’s established profile.
  • Enhanced due diligence: Users identified as higher risk, including those involved in large transactions or unusual account behaviour, are subject to additional verification and scrutiny.
  • Review of large or atypical transfers: Transactions that exceed defined thresholds or deviate significantly from normal patterns are escalated for manual review.
  • Risk scoring: Each account is assigned a dynamic risk profile based on activity, geography, transaction history, and other relevant factors.
  • Sanctions and PEP screening: All users are screened against international sanctions lists and databases of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) at registration and on an ongoing basis.
  • Reporting obligations: Where required by law, the platform reports suspicious activity to the appropriate Canadian financial intelligence and regulatory authorities, including FINTRAC.

Prohibited Activities

Certain user actions are strictly prohibited on the platform in order to preserve the effectiveness of KYC and AML security measures and protect the integrity of the environment for all users.

The following activities are not permitted:

  • Operating multiple accounts: Creating or using more than one account per person, household, or device is prohibited.
  • Submitting forged or stolen documents: Providing falsified, altered, or fraudulently obtained identification or supporting documentation during the verification process.
  • Laundering of funds: Using the platform to cycle, obscure, or legitimize proceeds of illegal activity.
  • Manipulation of platform systems: Attempting to exploit technical vulnerabilities, automate account behaviour, or circumvent security measures.
  • Sharing or transferring account access: Allowing another individual to operate, manage, or conduct transactions through a registered account.
  • Use of third-party payment instruments: Depositing or withdrawing funds using payment methods registered to another person.
  • Misrepresentation of personal data: Providing false, incomplete, or misleading personal information at registration or during any subsequent identity check.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Any breach of the platform’s KYC and AML obligations or prohibited activity policies will result in enforcement action proportionate to the nature and severity of the violation. Depending on the circumstances, measures may include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or associated winnings, and reporting to competent Canadian authorities where applicable.

User Responsibilities

Each account holder is responsible for maintaining accurate, current, and complete personal data on file with the platform at all times. Users must complete the ID verification process promptly upon request and respond without delay to any follow-up queries for additional documentation. All deposits and withdrawals must be conducted exclusively through payment methods owned and registered to the verified account holder. Users are expected to conduct their activity in good faith and in accordance with the platform’s compliance standards. Any suspected or observed suspicious activity involving another user or an external party should be reported to the platform’s support team without delay.

Fair Play and Transparency

Oshi Casino upholds fair play and transparency as foundational principles, ensuring that the platform provides equal and secure conditions for every registered user in Canada. These commitments extend beyond compliance obligations and reflect a broader standard of responsible conduct.

  • Compliance with KYC and AML standards: All procedures are applied consistently and in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements.
  • Confidentiality and protection of personal data: User information collected during the verification process is handled in strict accordance with applicable data protection laws.
  • Ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity: Continuous oversight of account and transaction behaviour supports a safe gaming environment for all users.
  • Prevention of manipulation and unfair behaviour: Security measures protect the platform against exploitation and ensure that no user can gain advantage through dishonest means.
  • User support on compliance matters: Account holders may contact the platform’s support team for guidance on identity check procedures, document submission requirements, or account protection concerns.
  • Shared responsibility: Fair play depends on cooperation between the platform and its users, with both parties expected to act in good faith.
  • Equal conditions for all users: Compliance and monitoring standards apply uniformly, regardless of account status, transaction history, or user profile.
