Parimatch KYC & AML Policy

Parimatch operates under a strict framework of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations applicable to all users registered on the platform in India. These measures are a legal and operational requirement designed to uphold the integrity of the platform, ensure user safety, and prevent financial crime of any kind. All verification and monitoring procedures are carried out in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements to maintain a secure and transparent environment for every account holder.

The Purpose of KYC and AML Compliance

Parimatch applies KYC and AML procedures to verify the identity of each account holder, prevent fraudulent conduct, and combat financial crime across all transactions on the platform. These measures form the foundation of a safe, fair, and transparent service for all users in India.

Compliance with these standards provides the following guarantees to all registered users:

  • Fair play is maintained across all gaming and betting activity on the platform.
  • User safety is prioritised through verified account access and identity checks.
  • Transparency is upheld in all financial transactions and account-related decisions.
  • Full regulatory compliance is maintained in accordance with applicable Indian and international legal frameworks.
  • Personal data is handled responsibly and in line with applicable data protection obligations.

KYC Requirements and ID Verification

Every new user registered on Parimatch is required to complete a full identity check before accessing certain account features, including withdrawals and high-value transactions. The following categories of documents may be requested during the identity verification process:

  • A valid government-issued photo ID such as a passport, Aadhaar card, PAN card, or driving licence, as proof of identity and date of birth.
  • Proof of current residential address, which may include a recent utility bill, bank statement, or government-issued correspondence dated within the past three months.
  • Confirmation of ownership of the payment method used for deposits or withdrawals, which may include a bank statement, card image, or related documentation.
  • Additional documentation may be requested in specific circumstances, particularly where enhanced due diligence is required under applicable regulatory requirements.

AML Measures and Transaction Monitoring

Parimatch maintains a comprehensive set of controls designed to detect, prevent, and report money laundering, terrorist financing, and other forms of financial crime across all account activity. The following security measures are applied on an ongoing basis:

  • Continuous transaction monitoring to identify patterns or behaviours inconsistent with normal account activity.
  • Automated detection systems that flag suspicious activity in accordance with predefined risk thresholds.
  • Enhanced due diligence procedures applied to accounts or transactions identified as higher risk based on established criteria.
  • Manual review of large or unusual fund transfers that fall outside expected account behaviour.
  • Risk scoring applied to individual accounts and transactions as part of the overall AML framework.
  • Screening of users against international sanctions lists and Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) databases.
  • Reporting obligations fulfilled with competent authorities in India and relevant jurisdictions where required by law.

Prohibited Activities on the Platform

Parimatch enforces a clear set of platform restrictions that directly support the integrity of its KYC and AML obligations. The following actions are strictly prohibited for all registered users:

  • Creating or operating multiple accounts on the platform, regardless of the intent or method used.
  • Submitting forged, altered, or stolen documents during any stage of the document submission or identity verification process.
  • Conducting or attempting to conduct transactions that constitute money laundering or are connected to proceeds of unlawful activity.
  • Manipulating platform systems, exploiting technical vulnerabilities, or engaging in any form of collusion.
  • Transferring, selling, or otherwise granting access to an account to any third party.
  • Using payment instruments that do not belong to the registered account holder, including third-party cards or bank accounts.
  • Providing false or misleading personal information at any stage of account registration or ongoing verification.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

Any user found to be in breach of the platform’s KYC or AML obligations will be subject to immediate enforcement action in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Enforcement measures may include temporary or permanent account suspension, freezing or confiscation of funds linked to suspicious activity, cancellation of bets or winnings associated with the violation, and reporting of the account holder and related information to competent authorities where applicable under Indian or international law.

User Responsibilities and Account Protection

All users registered on Parimatch are required to provide accurate, complete, and current personal information at all times, including during account registration and any subsequent verification steps. Users must complete the identity verification process within the timeframe specified by the platform, as failure to do so may result in restrictions on account access or financial transactions. Upon receiving a request for additional documentation, users are expected to respond promptly and supply all required materials in the format specified. Account protection is a shared responsibility, and users must ensure that only personal payment methods in their own name are used for deposits and withdrawals on the platform. Any activity on the platform that appears suspicious or is inconsistent with expected account behaviour should be reported to the platform’s support team without delay.

Fair Play, Transparency, and User Safety

Parimatch is committed to upholding fair play and transparency across all aspects of its operations, maintaining a secure and equitable environment for every account holder on the platform. The following principles govern how compliance obligations are carried out in practice:

  • Full compliance with applicable KYC and AML standards as required by regulatory authorities.
  • Strict confidentiality and protection of personal data submitted during document submission and identity checks.
  • Ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity to ensure the integrity of the platform at all times.
  • Active prevention of manipulation, unfair conduct, and any behaviour that undermines the security of the platform.
  • Dedicated user support on all matters relating to verification, account protection, and safety measures.
  • Shared responsibility between the platform and its users in maintaining a secure and compliant environment.
  • Equal application of all compliance procedures to ensure consistent and fair conditions for every registered user.
