Introduction to identity check and AML safeguards in Tanzania

Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) controls on Parimatch Tier 2 protect users in Tanzania by verifying identity, reducing fraud risk, and deterring financial crime. These measures meet regulatory requirements for licensed gaming operators and support reporting obligations to competent authorities. They help maintain user safety, account protection, and a lawful betting environment.

Purpose and user safety under AML and KYC

Parimatch Tier 2 applies KYC and AML to confirm who the account holder is, prevent misuse of services, and address suspicious activity. The objective is to promote fair play and transparency while complying with Tanzanian law.

  • Fair play for all participants
  • User safety and account protection
  • Transparency in identity check and document submission
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements and reporting obligations
  • Security measures proportionate to identified risks

ID verification and document submission requirements

Every new user must complete identity verification before using key features such as deposits, withdrawals, and betting. Additional checks may be required if risk indicators are identified.

  • Government-issued photo identification
  • Proof of residential address
  • Confirmation of ownership of the selected payment method
  • Additional information where risk-based assessment requires enhanced checks

Security measures and transaction monitoring for AML

Parimatch Tier 2 implements security measures to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illegal activity. Controls are applied proportionately using a risk-based approach and are reviewed periodically.

  • Ongoing transaction monitoring to detect unusual patterns or suspicious activity
  • Automated detection rules and alerts supported by manual review
  • Enhanced due diligence for higher-risk profiles, events, or geographies
  • Review and verification of large or unusual transfers prior to processing
  • Risk scoring to apply controls according to exposure
  • Sanctions and PEP screening based on applicable lists and guidance
  • Reporting to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and other authorities when required by law

Prohibited behaviours supporting account protection

Restrictions are in place to uphold KYC and AML controls and to protect the integrity of the platform. Any attempt to bypass identity check or manipulate systems is not allowed.

  • Creating or operating multiple accounts
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents
  • Attempting to launder funds or conceal the source of funds
  • Manipulating systems, odds, or results
  • Sharing or selling account access to other persons
  • Using third-party or non-owned payment instruments
  • Misrepresenting identity or acting on behalf of another person without lawful authority

Enforcement, sanctions, and reporting obligations

Violations of KYC or AML rules trigger proportionate enforcement under Tanzanian regulatory requirements. Measures are applied based on risk, seriousness, and legal duties to protect users and the platform.

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.

Account holder duties for identity check and compliance

Users are responsible for providing accurate and current personal data and completing verification within requested timelines. Document submission must be clear and legible, and any changes in personal information should be updated promptly. Only payment methods owned and controlled by the account holder may be used. Users should respond promptly to requests for additional documents or clarifications, and report any suspicious activity to support the safety of the community.
