WinZO US Inc (Company, We, Us) is committed to carrying on business in accordance with the highest ethical and business standards. This includes complying with all applicable laws and regulations aimed at combating money laundering and related illegal activities.
As an integral part of its business operations, the Company has instituted compliance measures commensurate with its Services, and to deter any potential illicit activity on its Platform. These measures may include, without limitation, onboarding and ongoing customer screening, and transaction-based controls.
This Anti Money Laundering Policy (AML Policy) describes the Company’s measures to detect and deter illicit activity on its Platform. It must be read in conjunction with our Terms of Use and Terms of Service (Terms) and Privacy Policy (Privacy Policy) and is binding on all users.
Capitalized and undefined terms used in this AML Policy have the same meaning as in our Terms unless the context indicates otherwise.

User Identification Protocol

The Company takes reasonable measures to establish the identity of any person to whom it provides Services.

In order to do so, the Company collects certain player identification details from each User, who registers an account with Us, in accordance with our Terms and the Privacy Policy.

Verification. We require Players to undergo a verification process (“Verification”).

KYC Partner

KYC Verification
Our KYC Partner will conduct a document verification and a liveness test for Players. All information collected, processed, or stored by the KYC Partner on behalf of WinZO for Players is referred henceforth as “Verification Information.”
- Document Verification : As part of the KYC Document Verification, the KYC Partner may ask you to submit/ upload a picture of your government-issued photo identification document such as a passport or driving license or residence permit or national ID card, etc. (each a “KYC Document”). Please note that the specific requirements for KYC compliance can vary depending on the regulations in the state or jurisdiction where you are residing and our KYC Partner’s discretion is operating.
- Liveness Test. As part of the Liveness Test, the KYC Partner will ask the Player to take a live selfie, to verify if the Player is the same natural person to whom the KYC Document as described above, relates. The KYC Partner will verify the authenticity of the KYC Document and may share the extracted ID Document details, the uploaded KYC Document, your uploaded picture, photo match results and final authenticity results with us.
-
Other Verification
Our KYC Partner is also responsible for conducting checks on Players located outside the US to determine compliance with sanctions lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and other global sanctions lists, and may seek additional information and data from you in this regard.
-
Disclaimer
User understands and agrees that WinZO is not responsible or liable for lapses in the verification process. Please refer to our KYC Partner’s policies to understand what verification information is collected, how the Verification Information is processed, stored, and disclosed, for how long the Verification Information is retained, and your rights with respect to such Verification Information. It is expressly clarified and User understands that WinZO is not responsible or liable for any handling, use, processing, storing, deleting, or disclosure of such KYC Information.
