Why casinos check
- Age: you must be 18 or older.
- Identity and fraud: one account per person, no stolen cards.
- Payments: the card or account is yours.
- Anti-money laundering: large deposits can trigger source-of-funds questions.
- Responsible gaming: self-exclusion only works if accounts are tied to real people.
Documents casinos ask for
| Check | Documents usually accepted |
|---|---|
| Identity | Passport, driver's licence, Ghana Card or voter ID card |
| Address | Utility bill or bank statement from the last three months |
| Payment | Photo of the card with middle digits covered, or a screenshot of the e-wallet or bank account |
| Liveness | A selfie holding your ID, at some casinos |
How long it takes
Automated checks can pass in minutes. Manual checks take from a few hours to a few days, longer at weekends. Clear, uncropped photos with all four corners visible speed it up.
Staying safe
- Upload documents only inside your casino account, never by social media or chat links.
- Cover the middle digits of cards; never send a CVV.
- Check the casino's privacy policy and licence first.
- If a casino asks for documents again and again without reason, ask for the request in writing.
