Due diligence / Know your client | |
Due to constantly developing regulations on the prevention of criminal activities and money laundering, and terrorism financing, GLB (further The Company) strictly implements anti-money laundering (AML) guidelines and procedures.
Due diligence (DD). Company`s customers should be subject to an DD process and record keeping. Anonymous Accounts. Anonymous or ‘nominal’ account records are not permitted. Any existing anonymous accounts or accounts believed to be ‘nom de plume’ or that have inconsistent identification should be subject to appropriate due diligence to establish the identity and bona fides of the account holder at an early opportunity. Duplicate/Multiple Accounts. Many customers wish to operate parallel accounts in order to segregate their gambling spend. Notwithstanding this activity, license holders must be able to identify and associate ‘linked’ accounts that may belong or be under the control of the same person. Politically Exposed Persons (PEP). Company are required to make provision, on a risk sensitive basis, to respond to any attempt to gamble by any qualifying Politically Exposed Persons, i.e. any person holding significant public office (or who has held it at any time in the preceding year), having access to public funds or in a position of influence. PEPs include the readily identifiable family and associates of such persons. A risk based approach should be applied based on the value and scale of gambling and the location of such customer. While we respect and honor the confidentiality of our clients, we are committed to undertaking thorough due diligence. As part of enhanced due diligence policy, know your client (KYC) policy is based on principles of partnership: if we know and understand our customers, they know and understand us. In case of enhanced due diligence clients could be invited to provide below listed documents to comply with our KYC policy (copy of the passport and utility bill or bank statement). The Company reserves the exclusive right to unilaterally decline any clients' application and/or terminate further provision of services without any statements or explanations to the client in case of breach of KYC policy. |
