1. KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER (KYC) POLICY
1.1. KYC – Know Your Customer
The Know Your Customer (KYC) process is an identity verification method We use to confirm Your identity, ensuring You are who You claim to be and not an impersonator. This policy outlines how we conduct KYC checks when You use our website, including any mobile or device-specific versions and any related applications (referred to as the “Website”).
1.2. Why We Ask You to Verify Your Identity
As a regulated entity, We are legally obligated to verify the identities of Our customers. This is crucial to prevent misuse of Our services and helps protect Our business against money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit activities. Identity verification also enhances the security of Your account on the Website (your “Member Account”).
Should identity verification be necessary, We will request personal identification documents from You. You will receive a verification request via a notification on the Website and/or by email.
1.3. Documents We Require From You
The specific identification documents We request may depend on Your chosen payment method. Commonly requested documents include, but are not limited to:
- Proof of identity: A copy of a valid ID document (e.g., driver’s license, passport, national identity card, or residence permit) and a selfie;
- Proof of address: A utility bill or an official document issued by the government;
- Proof of payment method: A bank or card statement, a photo of Your credit/debit card, etc.
- You will find detailed information on the exact documents required in the verification request.
1.4. Photo Requirements for Documents
Please ensure that Your documents meet the following criteria:
- The photo of the original document must be clear and legible;
- The personal data displayed (such as name and date of birth) should match the details on Your Member Account;
- All corners of the document need to be visible in the photo;
- Screenshots, scanned copies, and black and white photocopies are not acceptable.
1.5. How to Submit Documents
If You've been requested to submit documents, a link for uploading them has been sent to both Your Member Account and your registered email address. Use this link to upload images/photos of Your documents.
Please refrain from emailing the documents to Us.
1.6. Verification Status: Failed/Completed or Additional Information Required
After You upload all required documents, they will be pending Our review.
We prioritize Your satisfaction and review Your documents as promptly as possible. Possible outcomes include:
- Verification Completed: All documents have been successfully verified;
- Verification Failed or More Information Required: Some documents do not meet Our requirements. Additional documents or further information may be necessary.
Please note, withdrawal transactions will remain unprocessed until Your identity is fully verified. We reserve the right to restrict access or close Your Member Account until the verification process is complete.
1.7. Checking Your Verification Status
You can always check the status of Your verification on Your Member Account. Any changes in the verification status will also be communicated via notification on the Website and/or by email.
1.8. Timing of Verification
After you submit Your identity documents, we will review and verify them within 48 hours. We make every effort to complete verifications as quickly as possible, however the process may take up 72 hours in some cases.
The status of your verification can be checked on your Member Account. We will also contact You via email or website notification if any additional documents are needed.
We appreciate Your patience as we work to verify all users in a timely yet thorough manner.
2. Privacy & Management of Personal Data
2.1. Handling of Personal Data

2.3. Privacy Notice

3. To maintain the security of user accounts and adhere to anti-money laundering regulations, BRUCE.BET only permits withdrawals to be processed using the same payment method and details that the user originally utilized to deposit funds into their account.
Users must withdraw to the same account, wallet, or card that was used to deposit. Withdrawals to different accounts, wallets, or cards that do not match the original deposit method are strictly prohibited.
BRUCE.BET reserves the right to request proof of ownership for the deposit payment method before processing any withdrawal request. Failure to provide evidence that the user owns the payment details may result in the withdrawal being declined.
This policy is in place to verify user identities and prevent fraudulent withdrawals. We appreciate our users' understanding and cooperation. Those who attempt to withdraw via an alternative method may have their account suspended due to suspected unauthorized access or money laundering.
Please ensure you only deposit using a payment method you have full control and ownership of. Contact our customer support team if you have any questions or concerns regarding our withdrawal verification requirements.
