Verification and AML at Betzillo
Betzillo applies a published anti-money laundering policy built around risk-based customer checks, enhanced due diligence, activity monitoring and reporting of suspicious transactions. This page explains what that means in practice: when verification can happen, what documents may be requested, and which account rules apply. General concepts are explained neutrally, and the brand-specific details reflect Betzillo's published procedures. Publishing these procedures does not in itself establish any particular regulatory authorisation.
When Identity Verification Happens
Identity verification (KYC) at Betzillo is not limited to a single moment. Checks may take place when an account is opened, when a withdrawal is requested, or at a later point during the relationship. Because of this, it is worth completing any requested verification promptly, since outstanding checks may delay withdrawals. Phone verification may also be used as part of the process.
Documents That May Be Requested
Standard verification checks at Betzillo require two types of document: valid photo identification and a recent document confirming the player's address. Where enhanced checks apply, the request can go further. The exact upload format, file size limits and a guaranteed review deadline have not been published, so players should follow the instructions provided when a request is made.
- Valid photo ID
- A recent document confirming the player's address
Source of Funds Information
Enhanced checks may include questions about source of wealth. In practice, Betzillo's published procedures describe requests for a bank statement showing the initial deposit and a statement for the payout account, dated no older than three months. A full, specific list of accepted source-of-funds evidence has not been published, so any additional requirements would be set out in the individual request.
Enhanced Due Diligence
Betzillo's AML framework is risk-based, meaning the depth of a check depends on the assessed risk of the account. Higher-risk indicators named in the published policy include suspicious activity, politically exposed person (PEP) status and connections to jurisdictions considered risky. Where these indicators are present, enhanced due diligence applies and may include an ID selfie and bank statements in addition to the standard documents.
Account and Age Restrictions
The minimum age to hold a Betzillo account is 18, and where local law sets a higher legal age, the higher age prevails. Each player may hold only one account. Under the AML rules, additional restrictions apply to shared households and shared devices, which means accounts used from the same household or device can attract scrutiny even where they belong to different people.
Payments and Verification
Betzillo supports deposits via Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and USD Coin. Withdrawals are available via Bank Transfer, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and USD Coin. Verification status can affect payouts: where checks are outstanding, withdrawals may be delayed until the requested information has been provided and reviewed.
Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting
Verification is not a one-off exercise. Betzillo's published policy provides for ongoing monitoring of account activity, oversight by a designated Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) and reporting of suspicious transactions to the Curaçao Financial Intelligence Unit. Records connected to these procedures are retained for at least five years after the business relationship ends.
