Three step Verification

Step one verification:

Step one verification must be done by every user and customer to withdraw. Regardless of the choice of payment, the amount of payment, the amount of withdrawal, the choice of withdrawal and nationality of the user/customer step one verification must be done first. Step one verification is a document that must be filled out by the user/customer himself. Following information must be filled in: first name, second name, date of birth, country of usual residence, gender, and full address.

Step two verification:

Step two verification must be done by every user who deposits over 2000$ (two thousand USD) or withdraws over 2000$ (two thousand USD) or sends another user over 1000$ (one thousand USD) Until step two verification is done, the withdrawal, tip or deposit will be held. Step to verification will lead the user or customer to a subpage where he must send in his ID. The user/customer must make a picture of his ID. While a paperclip with a six-digit random generated number is next to his ID: Only an official ID may be used for ID verification, depending on the country the variety of accepted IDs may be different. There will also be an electronic check if the filled in Data from the step one verification is correct. The electronic check will check via two different databanks to insure the given information matches the filled document and the name from the ID: If the electronic test fails or is not possible the user/customer is required to send in a confirmation of his current residence. A certificate of registration by the government or a similar document is required.

Step three verification:

Step three verification must be done by every user who deposits over 5000$ (five thousand USD) or withdraws over 5000$ (five thousand USD) or sends another user over 3000$ (three thousand USD) Until step three verification is done, the withdrawal, tip or deposit will be held. For step 3 a user/customer will be asked for a source of wealth.

Customer identification and verification (KYC)

Proof of identity (driver's license, ID, passport), in color.
Both sides of the credit/debit card(s) used for depositing, in color. We only need the 6 first and the 4 last digits of the credit card number. The CVV and the intermediate digits of the card number can be hidden.
Proof of address (Utility, Medical or Delivery Bill or any official document with full name, address, and date, provided it has been issued within the past 2 months).

Source of funds

If a player deposits over a five thousand USD there is a process of understandings the source of wealth (SOW) Examples of SOW are:

Ownership of business
Employment
Inheritance
Investment
Family

It is critical that the origin and legitimacy of that wealth are clearly understood. If this is not possible an employee may ask for an additional document or proof.

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 information on the website itself.

reddogcasino.com 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.

Basic document for step one

The basic document will be accessible via the setting page on reddogcasino.com. Every user has to fill out the following information:

First name
Second name
Nationality
Gender
Date of Birth

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 reddogcasino.com will categorize every nation into 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 usual. Step two will be done after depositing 1000$ (one thousand USD), withdrawing 1000$ (one thousand USD) or tipping another user/customer 500$(five hundred USD) Step three will be done after depositing 2500$ (two thousand five hundred USD), withdrawing 2500$ (two thousand five hundred USD) or tipping another user/customer 1000$ (one thousand USD). 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.

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 an employee of reddogcasino.com.

According to risk based factors and general experience the human employees will recheck all checks which were done before 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 for Deposit and Withdraw, nationality changes, currency changes, behaviour and activity changes as well as checks, if an account is used by its 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, reddogcasino.com has conducted an AML “Enterprise-wide risk assessment” (EWRA) to identify and understand risks specific to reddogcasino.com 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 reddogcasino.com 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:

reddogcasino.com works solely with trusted Payment Service Providers who all have effective AML policies in place as to prevent the large majority of suspicious deposits onto reddogcasino.com from taking place without proper execution of KYC procedures onto the potential customer.

2) The second Line of Control:

reddogcasino.com 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 about all customers of reddogcasino.com at all time.

Also, all transactions must be overseen by employees over watched by the AML compliance officer who is overseen 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 behavior 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 reddogcasino.com 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 the last line of defense against AML reddogcasino.com will do manual 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 reddogcasino.com

In its internal procedures, reddogcasino.com 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 analyzed 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.
