Customer identification and verification (KYC)

The formal identification of customers on entry into commercial relations is a vital element, both for the regulations relating to money laundering and for the KYC policy.

This identification relies on the following fundamental principles:

A copy of your passport, ID card or driving license, each shown alongside a handwritten note mentioning six random generated numbers. Also, a second picture with the face of the user/customer is required. The user/customer may blur out every information, besides date of birth, nationality, gender, first name, second name and the picture. To secure their privacy.

Please note that all four corners of the ID have to be visible in the same image and all details has to be clearly readable besides the named above. We might ask for all details if necessary.

A recent utility bill sent to your registered address, issued within the last 3 months or an official document made by the government that proofs your state of residence. To make the approval process as speedy as possible, please make sure the document is sent with a clear resolution where all four corners of the document is visible, and all text is readable. For example: An electricity bill, water bill, bank statement or any governmental post addressed to you. An employee may do additional checks if necessary, based on the situation.

Source of funds

If a player deposits over a five thousand euro there is a process of understandings the source of wealth (SOW)

Examples of SOW are:

It is critical that the origin and legitimacy of that wealth is clearly understood. If this is not possible an employee may ask for an additional document or prove. The account will be frozen if the same user deposits either this amount in one go or multiple transactions which amount to this. An email will be sent to them manually to go through the above and an information on the website itself.

www.chc.casino also asks for a bank wire/credit card to further insure the Identity of the user/customer. It also gives additional information about the financial situation of the user/customer.

The document will be saved and created by an AI, an employee may do additional checks if necessary based on the situation.

Risk management:

In order to deal with the different risks and different states of wealth in different regions on the earth www.chc.casino will categorize every nation in three different regions of risk.

Region one: Low risk:

For every nation from the region one the three-step verification is done as described earlier.

Region two: Medium risk:

For every nation from the region two the three-step verification will be done at lower deposit, withdraw and tip amounts. Step one will be done as usually. Step two will be done after depositing 1000$ (one thousand Dollars), withdrawing 1000$ (one thousand Dollars) or tipping another user/customer 500$ (five hundred Dollars.) Step three will be done after depositing 2500$ (two thousand five hundred Dollars), withdrawing 2500$ (two thousand five hundred Dollars) or tipping another user/customer 1000$ (one thousand Dollars). Also, users from a low risk region that change crypto currency in any other currency will be treated like user/customers from a medium risk region.

Region three: High risk:

Regions of high risks will be banned. High risk regions will be regularly updated to keep up with the changing environment of a fast-changing world.

***Verification and confirmation of documents to confirm the identity of clients is carried out automatically by artificial intelligence within a couple of minutes after sending and filling in all the information by the client. The employee may, if necessary, conduct additional checks based on the situation.

Additional measurements.

In addition, an AI which is overseen by the AML compliance officer will look for any unusual behaviour and report it right away to a employee of www.chc.casino.

According to a risk based few and general experience the human employees will recheck all checks which are done bevor by the AI or other employees and may redo or do additional checks according to the situation.

In addition, a data Scientist supported by modern, electronic, analytic systems will look for unusual behaviour like: Depositing and withdrawing without longer Betting sessions. Attempts to use a different Bank account to for Deposit and Withdraw, nationality changes, currency changes, behaviour and activity changes as well as checks, if an account is used by it´s original owner. Also a User has to use the same method for Withdraw as he used for Deposit, for the amount of the initial Deposit to prevent any Money Laundering.

Enterprise-wide risk assessment

As part of its risk-based approach, www.chc.casino has conducted an AML “Enterprise-wide risk assessment” (EWRA) to identify and understand risks specific to www.chc.casino and its business lines. The AML risk policy is determined after identifying and documenting the risks inherent to its business lines such as the services the website offers. The Users to whom services are offered, transactions performed by these Users, delivery channels used by the bank, the geographic locations of the bank’s operations, customers and transactions and other qualitative and emerging risks.

The identification of AML risk categories is based on www.chc.casino understanding of regulatory requirements, regulatory expectations and industry guidance. Additional safety measures are taken to take care of the additional risks the world wide web brings with it.

The EWRA is yearly reassessed.

Ongoing transaction monitoring

AML-Compliance ensures that an “ongoing transaction monitoring” is conducted to detect transactions which are unusual or suspicious compared to the customer profile.

This transaction monitoring is conducted on two levels:

1) The first Line of Control:
www.chc.casino works solely with trusted Payment Service Providers whom all have effective AML policies in place as to prevent the large majority of suspicious deposits onto www.chc.casino from taking place without proper execution of KYC procedures onto the potential customer.

2) The second Line of Control:
www.chc.casino makes its network aware so that any contact with the customer or player or authorized representative must give rise to the exercise of due diligence on transactions on the account concerned. In particular these include:

Requests for the execution of financial transactions on the account;

Requests in relation to means of payment or services on the account;

Also, the three-step verification with adjusted risk management should provide all necessary information’s about all costumers of www.chc.casino at all time.

Also, all transaction must be overseen by employees over watched by the AML compliance officer who is over watched by the general management.

The specific transactions submitted to the customer support manager, possibly through their Compliance Manager must also be subject to due diligence.

Determination of the unusual nature of one or more transactions essentially depends on a subjective assessment, in relation to the knowledge of the customer (KYC), their financial behaviour and the transaction counterparty.

These checks will be done by an automated System, while an Employee crosschecks them for additional security.

The transactions observed on customer accounts for which it is difficult to gain a proper understanding of the lawful activities and origin of funds must therefore rapidly be considered atypical (as they are not directly justifiable).

Any www.chc.casino staff member must inform the AML division of any atypical transactions which they observe and cannot attribute to a lawful activity or source of income known of the customer.

3) The third Line of Control:
As a last line of defence against AML www.chc.casino will do manually checks on all suspicious and higher risk users in order to fully prevent money laundering.

If fraud or Money Laundering is found the authorities will be informed.

Reporting of Suspicious transactions on www.chc.casino

In its internal procedures, www.chc.casino describes in precise terms, for the attention of its staff members, when it is necessary to report and how to proceed with such reporting.

Reports of atypical transactions are analysed within the AML team in accordance with the precise methodology fully described in the internal procedures.

Depending on the result of this examination and on the basis of the information gathered, the AML team:

will decide whether it is necessary or not to send a report to the FIU, in accordance with the legal obligations provided in the Law of 18 September 2017;

will decide whether or not it is necessary to terminate the business relations with the customer.

Procedures

The AML rules, including minimum KYC standards will be translated into operational guidance or procedures that are available on the Intranet site of www.chc.casino.
