A copy of your passport, ID card or driving license, each shown alongside a handwritten note mentioning six random generated numbers. Also, a second picture with the face of the user/customer is required. The user/customer may blur out every information, besides date of birth, nationality, gender, first name, second name and the picture, to secure their privacy.
Please note that all four corners of the ID have to be visible in the same image and all details have to be clearly readable besides the named above. We might ask for all details if necessary.
An employee and/or the AMLCO may do additional checks, if necessary, based on the situation.
Proof of Address:
Proof of address will be done via two different electronic checks, which use two different databases. If an electronic test fails, the user/customer has the option to submit proof manually.
A recent utility bill sent to your registered address, issued within the last 3 months or an official document made by the government that proofs your state of residence.
To make the approval process as speedy as possible, please make sure the document is sent with a clear resolution where all four corners of the document is visible, and all text is readable.
For example: An electricity bill, water bill, bank statement or any governmental post addressed to you.

Examples of SOW are:
- Ownership of business
- Employment
- Inheritance
- Investment
- Family
It is critical that the origin and legitimacy of that wealth is clearly understood. If this is not possible an employee and/or the AMLCO may ask for additional documents 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, and if the user is classified as high-risk. An email will be sent to them manually to go through the above and see more information on the website itself.

Step two will be done after depositing 1000$ (one thousand Dollars), withdrawing 1000$ (one thousand Dollars) or tipping another user/customer 500$ (five hundred Dollars.) Step three will be done after depositing 2500$ (two thousand five hundred Dollars), withdrawing 2500$ (two thousand five hundred Dollars) or tipping another user/customer 1000$ (one thousand Dollars). 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

Attempts to use a different Bank account to for Deposit and Withdraw, nationality changes, currency changes, residential address changes, behaviour and activity changes as well as checks, if an account is used by itÂŽs original owner.
Also, a User has to use the same method for Withdrawal 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, www.wwcd26.com has conducted an AML âEnterprise-wide risk assessmentâ (EWRA) to identify and understand risks specific to www.wwcd26.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 bankâs operations, customers and transactions and other qualitative and emerging risks.
The identification of AML risk categories is based on www.wwcd26.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
AMLCO ensures that an âongoing transaction monitoringâ 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:
- www.wwcd26.com works solely with trusted Payment Service Providers whom all have effective AML policies in place as to prevent the large majority of suspicious deposits onto www.wwcd26.com from taking place without proper execution of KYC procedures onto the potential customer.
- 2) The second Line of Control:
- www.wwcd26.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 informationâs about all costumers of www.wwcd26.com at all time.
- Also, all transactions must be overseen by employees, overwatched by the AMLCO who is overwatched 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 behaviour and the transaction counterparty.
- These checks will be done by an automated System, while an Employee and/or the AMLCO 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 www.wwcd26.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 a last line of defence against AML www.wwcd26.com and/or the AMLCO will do manually 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 www.wwcd26.com
In its internal procedures, www.wwcd26.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 analysed 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.
