MegaPari (Afflinkers) KYC & AML Policy

Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) standards safeguard users in Kenya and protect the integrity of betting services. These standards support ID verification, identity check, transaction monitoring, and timely reporting obligations consistent with Kenyan regulatory requirements. Compliance aligns to the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act (POCAMLA), the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, the Prevention of Terrorism Act, the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act (Cap 131), and guidance from the Financial Reporting Centre (FRC).

Purpose of KYC & AML

The platform applies KYC and AML controls to verify identity, deter fraud, and combat financial crime across sportsbook and casino services in Kenya. These controls strengthen account protection and user safety while preserving fair play and transparency.

  • Fair play and equal treatment under published rules
  • User safety supported by robust security measures
  • Transparency in verification and decisions related to suspicious activity
  • Compliance with Kenyan regulatory requirements and reporting obligations
  • Protection of personal data during verification and reviews

KYC Requirements

Every new account holder must complete ID verification before full access is enabled, and ongoing identity check may be required during the account lifecycle. Document submission must be accurate, legible, and unaltered, and personal data is handled in line with Kenya’s Data Protection Act, 2019 and guidance from the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

  • Government-issued photo identification for identity confirmation
  • Proof of address to validate residence details
  • Confirmation of payment-method ownership by the account holder

Security measures protect personal data throughout document submission, review, and storage for the period required by Kenyan law.

AML Measures

Controls are implemented to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illegal activity. Measures focus on transaction monitoring, early detection of suspicious activity, and meeting reporting obligations to relevant Kenyan authorities.

  • Continuous transaction and activity monitoring across deposits, bets, and withdrawals
  • Automated detection rules and alert thresholds to identify anomalies
  • Enhanced due diligence for high-risk profiles, events, or jurisdictions
  • Reviews of large, unusual, or rapid movement of funds and related patterns
  • Dynamic risk scoring and periodic reassessment of customer risk
  • Sanctions and PEP screening against domestic and international lists (including UN lists)
  • Reporting of suspicious transactions and threshold-based reports to the Financial Reporting Centre, alongside mandated record-keeping

Prohibited Activities

The platform prohibits conduct that undermines KYC, AML, and account protection controls. Violations of these restrictions may lead to enforcement under this policy and Kenyan law.

  • Operating multiple accounts or impersonation
  • Using forged, altered, or stolen documents
  • Attempts to launder funds or conceal beneficial ownership
  • Manipulating systems, bets, or payment flows to evade controls
  • Sharing, selling, or otherwise transferring account access
  • Using third-party or unauthorised payment instruments
  • Misrepresenting identity or submitting false personal data

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Breaches of this policy, failure to complete ID verification, or indications of suspicious activity trigger proportionate action under internal rules and applicable law. Actions are designed to protect users, maintain transparency, and support lawful reporting.

Temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings, reporting to competent authorities where applicable.

User Responsibilities

Users must provide accurate and up-to-date personal data, complete KYC and any identity check within requested timeframes, and respond promptly to requests for additional document submission. Only payment methods owned and controlled by the account holder may be used, and credentials must be kept confidential to support account protection. Any suspicious activity noticed on an account should be reported without delay to customer support. Users are required to cooperate in age and ID verification for responsible gaming in Kenya (18+). Records may be updated periodically to meet regulatory requirements.
