Introduction
At Potflare, operated by XXXXXXX (registration number: XXXXXX), with its address at YYYYYY, we are committed to maintaining a safe, transparent environment that meets compliance requirements. Our comprehensive Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy supports this commitment by seeking to prevent our platform from being used for money laundering or terrorist financing. Our website at https://potflare.com is the primary channel through which we provide gaming and entertainment services.
KYC procedures
Potflare has established Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures together with XXXXXX, a leading provider of KYC and AML services. This partnership provides thorough identity checks that are essential to preventing financial crime on our platform. Our KYC process includes the following key elements:
- Checking users' identities for every transaction that converts fiat currency to cryptocurrency or cryptocurrency to fiat currency.
- Obtaining essential details and documents, including full legal name, date of birth, residential address, government-issued identification, and proof of address.
- Using advanced verification methods, including facial recognition and biometric data analysis, to confirm the integrity and authenticity of user information.
AML Control Measures
Transaction monitoring
We use advanced transaction monitoring systems to examine all user activity for indications of suspicious conduct. These systems combine machine learning with rule-based algorithms to identify unusual patterns that could suggest money laundering or terrorist financing.
Risk management
Continuous risk assessment is central to our AML approach. We group users according to their exposure to risk and apply measures suited to each group to reduce potential threats. Factors considered include geographical location, transaction history, and the way users engage with the platform.
Employee AML training
Our staff undergo thorough training in AML compliance, identifying risks, and handling and reporting suspected money laundering. This training plays a key role in building awareness of AML responsibilities throughout our organization.
Enhanced due diligence
We apply enhanced due diligence to higher-risk groups, including politically exposed persons (PEPs) and people from high-risk jurisdictions. These detailed checks help us gain a fuller understanding of the risks presented by those users.
Record retention
We keep detailed records of every transaction, user verification, and risk assessment for at least five years, as required by regulatory authorities. These records provide essential support for any subsequent audit or investigation.
Proactive collaboration with external entities
Potflare works with a range of external parties to reinforce its AML framework:
- XXXXXX: Our principal partner for carrying out comprehensive KYC checks.
- Regulators and law enforcement agencies: We actively cooperate with these bodies to support the prompt investigation and resolution of suspected unlawful activity.
- External AML advisers: We regularly consult AML specialists to assess and improve our strategies, keeping them consistent with international best practices and changes in regulatory requirements.
