Age checks and winner verification for betting operators
RDCPASS gives gaming and betting operators the player’s certified identity from the national register. You can confirm age when an account is opened, and before paying out a winner you can check that the money is going to the person who registered. Large payouts can be screened before they leave your account.
- Age checks at sign-up
- Winner verification before payout
- AML screening of large payouts

The challenges
Minors have to be kept out
Ticking a box or typing a birth date will not stop an underage player from opening an account.
Winnings can reach the wrong person
Accounts get shared, borrowed or stolen. The person asking for the prize is not always the one who signed up.
Payouts can be used to launder money
Large or repeated wins need a documented check against sanctions lists and politically exposed persons before any money is paid.
How RDCPASS helps
Age checks at sign-up
You get a yes or no on whether the player has reached your minimum age. Only basic KYC is shared.
Winner verification
Before a payout, confirm the player’s certified identity and compare it with the details held on the account.
AML screening of payouts
Winners of large payouts are screened against sanctions, PEP and adverse-media sources. Your high-value players can stay under ongoing monitoring.

Frequently asked questions
Can we set our own minimum age?+
Yes. You set the age threshold on each check, and Age Verification tells you whether the player meets it.
When should we verify a winner?+
Most operators verify at the first withdrawal and again for large payouts. KYC Validation is quick enough that the player is not left waiting for their money.
Do we have to screen every payout?+
The thresholds are yours to set. Many operators run AML & CTF Screening on winners above a certain amount and then keep those players under monitoring.
How are checks billed?+
You pay per call, either from your prepaid wallet or on a monthly Enterprise invoice. Rejected calls are not billed, and the sandbox is free.
