Overview: Identity Check and AML Standards in the Philippines

Paripesa maintains a Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering framework aligned with Philippine regulatory requirements, including the Anti-Money Laundering Act, its amendments, and AMLC issuances. These controls support ID verification and counter-terrorism financing to protect user safety, strengthen transparency, and prevent misuse of gaming services in the Philippines.

Purpose: Verifying Users and Preventing Financial Crime

Paripesa applies KYC and AML measures to verify identity, combat fraud, and deter money laundering. These safeguards uphold responsible gaming and account protection across the platform.

  • Fair play for all participants
  • User safety through robust security measures
  • Transparency in handling personal data and payments
  • Compliance with Philippine regulatory requirements
  • Consistent transaction monitoring and reviews

Every new user must complete identity verification before accessing full services. The platform may request information at registration and during account reviews to satisfy an identity check under applicable rules.

  • Government-issued photo identification for ID verification
  • Proof of residential address dated within a recent period
  • Confirmation of ownership of the chosen payment method
  • A verification selfie or live identity check when required
  • Additional information to evidence source of funds in higher-risk cases

AML Measures and Transaction Monitoring Controls

  • Operating multiple accounts or acting on behalf of others
  • Using forged, altered, or stolen documents during verification
  • Attempts to launder funds or disguise the origin of proceeds
  • Manipulating systems, games, or payment flows to evade controls

  • Using third-party or anonymous payment instruments
  • Misrepresenting identity or the status of the account holder

Consequences of Non-Compliance and Reporting

Violations of KYC or AML rules may result in immediate enforcement to protect the platform and comply with Philippine law. Actions are carried out according to internal procedures and legal obligations.

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 for Accurate Data and Account Protection

Each account holder must provide accurate, current personal data and complete document submission when requested. Verification steps must be finished promptly, including any follow-up identity check or ID verification. Only payment methods in the user’s name may be used for deposits or withdrawals, and supporting evidence may be requested. Users should report suspicious activity immediately and cooperate in any AML review. Responsible gaming practices should be observed to maintain a safe environment for all participants.
