Parimatch KYC & AML Policy

Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering controls are applied to meet regulatory requirements in India and to protect the platform and users from financial crime. Parimatch follows the Prevention of Money-laundering Act, 2002, the Prevention of Money-laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005, and guidance from FIU-IND to ensure ID verification, identity check processes, and transaction monitoring that support transparency and user safety.

Purpose of KYC & AML

The platform applies KYC and AML to verify identity, deter fraud, and combat money laundering and terrorism financing in India. These security measures protect the account holder, strengthen account protection, and uphold transparency across the service.

  • Fair play and integrity of outcomes
  • User safety through risk-based security measures
  • Transparency in rules, checks, and reporting obligations
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements

KYC Requirements

Every new user must complete ID verification before withdrawals and may be asked to repeat identity check in line with risk. Document submission may be required to confirm personal data and ownership of payment methods.

  • Government-issued photo identity document
  • Proof of residential address
  • Confirmation that the payment method is owned and controlled by the account holder

AML Measures

The service implements AML controls to prevent money laundering, fraud, and other illegal activity. Controls are adjusted based on risk assessment and regulatory requirements, and include reporting obligations under Indian law.

  • Transaction monitoring and review of activity patterns
  • Automated detection rules and alerts for suspicious activity
  • Enhanced due diligence for high-risk profiles or events
  • Independent review of large or unusual transfers and cash-out requests
  • Customer and transaction risk scoring
  • Sanctions and PEP screening against Indian and international lists
  • Statutory reporting to FIU-IND and other authorities where required

Prohibited Activities

Restrictions are in place to support KYC and AML, protect personal data, and ensure fair play. Any attempt to bypass controls is treated as suspicious activity.

  • Opening or operating multiple accounts by the same person
  • Using forged, altered, or stolen documents
  • Laundering attempts or facilitating third-party deposits and withdrawals
  • Manipulating systems, odds, games, or transaction flows
  • Sharing, selling, or renting account access
  • Using payment instruments not owned by the verified account holder
  • Misrepresenting identity or acting on behalf of another person

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Violations of KYC or AML obligations trigger enforcement actions in line with law and platform rules. Actions are proportionate to risk and may be taken without prior notice where required.

Temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings, reporting to competent authorities where applicable.

User Responsibilities

Users must provide accurate and up-to-date personal data and complete verification within requested timelines. Users must respond to requests for additional document submission or information when an identity check is repeated. Only payment methods owned by the account holder may be used for deposits or withdrawals. Any suspicious activity in the account should be reported promptly to customer support. Responsible gaming and account protection practices, such as strong passwords and two-factor authentication, are encouraged.
