Verification (KYC) is a one-time identity check most regulated betting platforms run before releasing withdrawals.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Identity document | Colour copy of your passport or a national ID card |
| Phone verification | Mandatory, confirmed during or shortly after registration |
| Proof of address (on request) | Driving licence copy or a recent utility bill |
KYC is the one step standing between placing a bet and actually being able to withdraw. This page explains what the term means, exactly what 1King asks for, and why the timing of when you do it matters more than most players expect.
Nothing below assumes prior experience with regulated betting platforms. Whenever a new term appears, it gets defined right there.
KYC means "Know Your Customer." In practice, it's the point where you confirm you are who your account says you are — usually through an identity document and a verified phone number. Nearly every regulated betting platform runs some version of this before releasing withdrawals, and 1King follows the same pattern. It protects both the platform and the player against fraud.
It only happens once. After your account passes verification, you shouldn't need to repeat the document step for future withdrawals through the same method.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Identity document | Colour copy of your passport's first two pages, plus a residency stamp if you have one, or a national ID card |
| Phone verification | Mandatory, confirmed during or shortly after registration |
| Proof of address (on request) | Driving licence copy or a recent utility bill |
Most accounts only need the identity document plus the phone check. The proof-of-address items get requested case by case rather than upfront for every player — some accounts never see that request at all.
Document upload is the default route: submit your ID and confirm your phone number through your account settings. 1King also offers video verification as an alternative — instead of uploading files, you speak directly with a representative over a video call to confirm your identity.
Both routes land you at the same verified status. Choosing between them is mainly a matter of comfort — some players would rather have a short conversation than scan and upload documents, and either way gets the same result.
After that, it's 1King's team checking things over on their end. Clear document copies and details that match your registration are what keep the process moving without a second round of requests.
Waiting until you actually want to withdraw is the single most common reason verification turns into a delay. Complete it right after registering instead, long before there's a balance you're trying to reach, and the timing issue simply doesn't come up.
There's a practical cost to waiting, too. Bets can be voided and deposits returned if verification isn't finished by the time certain account activity triggers a review. Handling it early keeps that risk off the table entirely.
Picture two players who each turn a 300 TL deposit into a 2,000 TL win the same week. One verified their account the day they registered — their withdrawal request goes straight to processing. The other put verification off, planning to "do it later." Their withdrawal request now waits on document review first, adding a step that the first player skipped entirely by acting early.
Once verification clears, withdrawals go through whichever confirmed method you used to deposit — bank card or cryptocurrency — without needing to submit documents again for standard requests. If 1King asks for anything further down the line, that's usually tied to a specific review rather than a sign something's wrong with your account.
Finishing verification early means one less thing to think about later, right when you're actually ready to withdraw.
"Know Your Customer" — the identity check that confirms you're really the person behind your 1King account, required before withdrawals.
A passport or national ID copy, plus a confirmed phone number. A driving licence or utility bill may be requested on top, case by case.
Yes, through video verification — a live call with a representative that confirms your identity without uploading scans.
Right after registering, rather than waiting until you're ready to withdraw. That avoids the delay an unverified account can face at withdrawal time.
