Before you continue
This guide is educational. Gambling involves financial risk and outcomes are uncertain. Never gamble with money needed for essential spending.
What this means
Source-of-funds checks can ask for evidence showing where gambling funds come from. They are broader than a basic identity check and may involve financial records relevant to the activity being reviewed.
What to check
Only provide information through secure official channels and redact unrelated data where the operator confirms that doing so is acceptable. Keep copies of correspondence and submitted documents.
Practical takeaway
If you are uncomfortable with a request, ask the operator to explain what it needs, why it needs it and how the information will be handled.
Useful next steps
- Verify current operator details using primary sources.
- Read the full terms that apply to the product or promotion.
- Set money and time limits before gambling.
- Use support or self-exclusion tools if gambling is becoming difficult to control.
